I’ve been working on decorating a Christmas skybox and also turning my SL home into a holiday retreat but it’s been taking forever! Then I discovered the joy of fully-furnished skyboxes that comes in a rezzer! All it takes is 1-click and less than 10 seconds and you’re done!

The furnished areas includes a living room, dining area for two, bedroom, and seating area along with a Christmas tree, fireplace, and other holiday decors.
Hi everyone! I checked out a few residential estate sims last night, and some of them are very well landscaped. I don’t really want to admit this, but I totally miss my homestead sim! I miss having my beach house on the ground, and the shimmering SL water.
Where do you live in SL? On the ground? In the sky? Do you prefer beachy, grassy, or some other terrain?
What I’m Wearing:
Truth – Devina (Swedish)
Monso – My Overall (Bleached Blue) Size2

Cajsa Lilliehook started a new site called Blogging Second Life, that lists Second Life blogs (separated by category) and also creator’s profile & store marketplace link.
I think it’s brilliant.
There are lots of blogs written by lovely SL residents (like me, lol) and if you haven’t noticed, there are way more female bloggers than male! WE WIN! This is why there’s an overwhelming number of fashion geared towards female avatars (we shop more, we blog more) and a smaller percentage for male fashion.
Someone asked me where to find male fashion blogs, well here you go. Follow this link, there are at least 20 fashion blogs listed here.
This is a great new resource, so if your link is not listed, go ahead and submit!
DO use this list to discover new awesome blogs DON’T use this list to spam bloggers
This whole thing is going to go down as Gaeta Gate in Second Life history, the time Linden Lab tried to remove a small, unfinished continent, only to completely reverse course a few months later. I waited forever to be relocated from Gaeta 1 to New Zindra, but it never happened, so I eventually started selling off the land I’d bought there piece by piece because I’d already acquired quite a bit of snow land and figured I was simply going to move on.
Then on Monday I received an email from Linden Lab basically saying, “We’re giving you some money for your pain and suffering, and by the way, Gaeta 1 isn’t closing anymore.” Suddenly the whole situation changed. You can stay if you want to. You can still move if you’d rather have a parcel in New Zindra and keep Gaeta 1 too. If you’ve already moved, you cay stay or come back to Gaeta 1! I have to admit I’m pretty happy with the outcome, even if this has been one of the biggest rollercoasters I’ve watched Linden Lab put residents through. From the original announcement until now, it’s been one surprise after another, and I still don’t think the ride is completely over.
If you look around Gaeta 1 today, a huge amount of land is marked “On Hold,” which most of us assume means former residents are deciding whether to return. I’ve already noticed some of the larger land barons making their way back, but it does raise an interesting question about whether people will end up keeping both their new land or coming back to their original Gaeta 1 land. After all, the original reason Linden Lab gave for closing Gaeta 1 was the massive amount of abandoned land, and that problem isn’t automatically solved just because some previous owners decide to move back.
I think Linden Lab knows they need to move quickly, and the August 17 deadline they gave everyone in the email makes that pretty obvious. I didn’t wait around because I’m easy. I replied immediately and told them I was staying, mainly because I have absolutely no interest in moving to New Zindra. I was originally interested, but have you seen the horrendous new grass texture? No thank you! My guess is they want to wrap this entire situation up as quickly as possible so Gaeta Gate becomes nothing more than a strange chapter in Second Life history, after which they can start selling and auctioning parcels in both Gaeta 1 and New Zindra again. I could even see them experimenting with more double-prim parcels if it helps encourage people to buy mainland, although I don’t expect they’ll spend time finishing the unfinished west coast of Gaeta 1 when they already have so much abandoned mainland elsewhere on the grid.
I love land, so after all of this, I decided to officially move into my little Gaeta 1 parcel instead of letting it go. My friend Malayaa decorated the cozy 1,500 sqm oceanfront property for me, and it’s exactly the right size. As long as my neighbors don’t move back in tomorrow and completely ruin my view, I think I’m going to be pretty happy here.
