People leave SL or close their blogs all the time. Then they come back the next week, or next month, or they wait awhile and come back next year. Some people leave quietly, some people make sure everybody knows THEY. ARE. LEAVING. So, please take my attention whoring poll below!! I want to know……

Jade Glazner of Bella di Notte has a new release coming this weekend, and group members were treated to this preview gift skin!! If you want it, join the Black no. 1 group ($200L to join) and check notices. The group gift includes 4 skin tones (Light, Natural, Tan and Dark) and 2 brow choices (Light and Dark brows).
I’m pretty excited about the UNICEF (Project Donate) event this weekend!! 100% of the proceeds from this new Gemini hairstyle by Exile is donated to charity. The fatpack is $500L and it’s awesomeeee. Here’s the direct slurl to it.
BOOM has sexy new Surf Polos and they come in so many vibrant sunny colors, it’s so hard to pick a favorite! This polo includes a sculpted collar and shirt attachment, adding even more realism to a great shirt. I’ve found new favorite “booty shorts” from Hucci! The Hucci Denim Shorts are short but still classy.
I’ve been here before. When Ziki sent me a landmark, I thought it was a new place, but then I recognized the alpha trees behind me. I think the sim transformed from Winter to Spring/Summer, and it is GORGEOUS.
My dress today is the gorgeous new Daydream dress from Mon Tissu. I love Yellow and Floral, what a fantastically sunny combo.
Have you ever taken photos and not realize that there’s something odd in the picture until you’re cropping it? I didn’t include this picture in today’s post, cos I just noticed there’s a toilet plunger on the piano!!
What I’m Wearing:
Pink Fuel – Sora (Peach)
Truth – Ursula (Swedish)
Mon Tissu – Daydream Dress (M) Floral
Donna Flora – LIA Necklace, Ring
SLink – Ilena Sandals (Standard White)
SLink – Mesh Feet (S) Rigged
SLink – Mesh Hands (av)
Today’s outfit is a recent release from Zaara Indian Couture called the Kantha set, and it has delicate brocade patterns along the knee-length skirt. Normally I’m really lazy and all my photographs are cropped inside Flickr, but today, I made collages!! Colors make me really happy, and the Kantha set definitely has some very warm rich tones so I felt creative. Yay for colors and collages!
[Zaara Kantha – blue & pink set | Maitreya Dune boots | f.wi hair]
[More collages! with fantastic Detour – Prairie hair | Juicy – Classic Pumps (Peppercorn) | Miam Miam – Diamond Heart & Key jewelry set]
[Kantha gold top – worn separately with Last Call Kamryn pants]
I loooove that the top can be matched with virtually any pair of pants for a more casual look.
For a relatively new designer (or at least, new to me), Zaara Kohime definitely has me waiting excitedly for each new release because of her amazing patterns and colors. Did you miss the freebie Shubh dress last week? Shame on you!
Tp to Zaara Indian Couture to view other designs in-world.

“Elle Couerblanc here, reporting live from the 10th Rez Day event for the SL Diva, Elizabeth Hallstrom” (the roar of the crowds can be heard behind her).
“WAIT A MINUTE,” a fellow says to the reporter, “Who is Elizabeth Hallstrom exactly?” At this point, Elle covers her mic and turns to the fellow and replies in a curt tone, “Elizabeth is me you fool! Well I am her and she is me and we are…never mind you idiot, GET OUT OF MY FACE AND LET ME DO MY JOB!”
Whoa…what a dramatic moment right? You see, Elizabeth was my very first avatar in Second Life and she was brought into this alternate reality on exactly January 27th, 2007 probably sometime around 3PM SLT. Yes there have been others to follow: Lizzie Lexington, Betty Paramour and Bettencourt and eventually, Ms. Elle Couerblanc! But I really do like Ms. Hallstrom, so every 6 months or so, I bring her out of the closet, dust her off and make her all pretty once again. You see, if i were define one of my avatars as the closest to “me”, it would be Elizabeth.
So Happy Rez Day Ms. Hallstrom and I hope you have many other rez days to come!

I think one month is awhile, but don’t be called “I’m leaving!” more like a break.
Hrm, really depends on the whole deal. I hate people who always “QUIT FOREVARZ” and then come back. I used to make fun of those people on BBSs and on IRC. Oh wait, I make fun of them now too!
One of my favorite designers has taken a break for school and stuff and they announced it. I hope they come back!
Basically- leave in dramas and holy festivus of wtfbbq then I will LOL.
Leave due to other reasons- even if it’s a month- I will welcome you back regardless.
I hope that made sense. <3
LOVE THE POLLS.
i think it really depends on why they are leaving.. sometimes rl just gets in the way and you have to leave, and if rl stops getting in the way maybe you’ll be back. sometimes circumstances at the time might make you think you won’t be coming back so you say your goodbyes and then realize later that you will be able to return.
i would only consider it attention whoring if they left all the time.. “omg i’m leaving sl!” every other day would probably get annoying after a while.
Depends heavily on the terms of why they left and also how they left. If they are all “I just need a break” its one thing and I don’t think time is really a factor.. I’d say the same of RL getting in the way. You take the time you need.. for some thats a few days, for some that’s a year. Now if they leave in a horribly dramatic fashion I.E. a hissi-fit or drama explosion … I’m not sure enough time can pass to make a return okay honestly.
if somebody want to ‘leave’ it has to be much more as half year. all under can be called BREAK! 😉
to leave – isnt easy if a person is still addicted to sl cause of some passions which will be missed to come back.
i can understand if ppl be frustrated cause of drama or other issues that didnt worked how they thought and they worked with passion on it – yes that can be disoppointed and frustrated. its very easy saiyed than ‘hey i leaving .. !’ but from my experience the most ppl will come back in a couple of months to one year of time.
maybe it should helping themself to say to the hole world, that they like to leave. if many ppl thinking that of you, you dont wanna disoppointing them and yourself – the question is just, is this acting really serious or just born of a angry/sad/pissed off mood.
Who isn’t attention whoring in SL – the whole game is a chat environment with zero objective, unless you consider being social or catching up to the latest pixel trends an objective. Whether you leave or stay you’re most likely attention whoring in some fashion.
i’ve had plenty of attention whores on my list. It usually take me a month to 3 months before i start to remember and miss someone. depends on how active our relationship is and whether i talk to them alot.
Most of the time it’s usually mood. You can’t leave sl we are all hypnotized! @.@
best way to leave sl is to get a rl. i’ve lost a few friends to rl… some of them are happy..
Damn I’m not on plurk anymore so this makes me wonder who left? LOL
