The unsung heroes of Second Life marketing and collaboration are resident-run projects. I founded iheartSL in 2008 (over 14 years ago!) to help aggregate Second Life blog contents into a single central location, to help bloggers gain exposure, and to provide readers with a convenient one-stop shop to browse all the latest posts from residents. Over the years, I have mostly funded iheartSL with my own money and advertising support from sponsors. It is critical to support resident-led projects because they have frequently stepped in to fill gaps left by Linden Lab.
Read More “Petal Clouds”The LOLO Pet Shop has just released these adorable tiny Mesh Birds, and they’re just my kind of pet in SL. These birds do not need to be fed, they don’t need attention (petting, playing), and you can’t even breed them! Just buy one bird, or a few birds (if you want to collect all the colors) and watch these lil’ darlings fly around you OR set it to perch on top of your shoulder.
The LOLO Mesh Birds is scripted with these functions: follow fly, follow walk, roam small, roam, roam large, fly, sleep (reset), chill, walk, rename, and name display.
These birds have transfer permission only, so they’ll make a great gift but you’ll have to be careful not to lose them!
Watch the official LOLOPetShop YouTube video to see this bird in action!

This Chu-ing Academy top is a little boxy around the shoulders, but I got the entire outfit on Marketplace for less than $100L. It’s a cute enough style, even if Chu-ing can be a hit or miss brand. I never buy any outfits with built-in hands (so weird!), and Chu-ing is one of several brands that tends to do it.
Read More “Academy”Bento is here! Both official and Firestorm clients with Bento have been released now, so you’ll see a lot more people wearing Bento items around the grid. Everything from mesh heads, to tails, to giant avatars are already being released. Even Bento hands and AOs, which means you can have an animation override where your individual fingers move!
For this entry, I wanted to talk about a cheaper Bento head for those interested in Bento but not wanting to pay a lot of money for some of the high-price options out there. Lightstar is a smaller store but has released two great heads to pick from. As of this entry the price has been raised to 2,000L for each of them. Still, that’s cheaper than some less impressive Bento heads I’ve seen so far. The mesh head you’ll see in this entry is Lightstar Marian.
This Bento head is Omega-friendly, so you can wear all your favorite makeups with it. You can also purchase a separate expression HUD (250L) for about 29 different expressions. Here are some of my favorites:
Lightstar is a great option for those who want to look different but still use their favorite skins. I don’t like the default skins that come with the package, but once you install Omega it’s all uphill from there. Well worth the price to check out! Head to their store to pick up a demo.
There are soooo many new Bento things I want to check out and feature here! I’ve got my eye on Medhue Animations’ elephant avatar, and I’m waiting for the attachable Bento horse coming soon from Water Horse. Organica is also working on a wearable wyvern!
Have you purchased any new Bento items yet? New heads? What’s your favorite so far? Lemme know!

LoQ Hairs – Cafe Misto | Turkish Coffee (Fiery Red)
These two styles are my favorite from LoQ Hairs. This is actually the first time I’ve ever featured LoQ Hairs here, I think they are a fairly new but what they’ve released so far is promising. I am feeling very Red today cos Autumn is just around the corner! 🙂
I’ve noticed that LoQ hair is full-bright by default, and that is awful! Thankfully the hair is mod, so I can simply uncheck the full-bright option, but I really don’t understand designers who leaves this on by default. It looks awful in Windlight and the hair texture is totally misrepresented.
Here’s my plea to hair designers: If for some reason you must have full-bright hair, please include both versions in your demo. I have to see what the hair texture looks like with full-bright off otherwise I won’t purchase it. I think that full-bright should be abandoned already, it makes you look like a newbie hair designer.

I love this new Formal Blazer from Belgravia! I have a small collection of mesh blazers already, but I still like adding new shapes & colors to my wardrobe. I really appreciate creators like Jin Elfan, whom I’ve blogged pretty often over the past few years. My posts were not always glowing, sometimes I mentioned rigging issues or something I didn’t particularly like. Did she flip out? No. Does she keep improving and creating? Yes. I’m not sure if she ever reads my feedback, but I know she does get better with every release.
I’ve had my eye on this Spring collection from Vive 9 for a few weeks now. Last night, I remembered to visit the store to pick up a few demos. I did not like the mesh items enough to buy them — and both of the dresses are unlined (invisible on the inside), so I passed on those. The skirt was lined, but it also had breaks at the thighs that I didn’t like. I bought the Baby Rib Cropped Tee, which did not have a demo, which should have been a hint to me that it was not mesh, but I didn’t realize that until after I bought it. It was still cute enough to wear underneath this blazer! Usually when I am unsure of something, I will try to inspect the vendor prim to see if it had sizes (mesh) or just textures, but I couldn’t inspect the Vive 9 vendor prim since it only contained a script.
I try not to buy texture clothing anymore, since I already have tons of them in my inventory! I will buy texture lingerie and panties, though. Do you still buy texture clothing?
What I’m Wearing:
Exile – Hearts Don’t Breakeven
Belgravia – Formal Blazer (S) White
Monso – My First Jeans (Grey) Size1/XS
Vive 9 – Baby Rib Cropped T (Coral)
LaGyo – Adriel Necklace (Gold)
LaGyo – Garska Earrings (Gold)
SLink – Mesh Hands (av)
Belgravia – Patent 120 (Spikes) Mustard/Gold
