Senra Update
Last year, when I first tried on the Senra Jamie avatar, my impression was far from positive. It seemed like a regression, a relic not up to par with the advances in Second Life. Despite claims from the Senra defenders that these models aren’t trying to outshine the mesh avatars from Second Life’s creators, or that they are perfectly adequate for newbies, I wasn’t convinced. Surely, new residents are entitled the very best that Second Life has to offer.
Unaware that these avatars were still in their beta phase, I didn’t anticipate further improvements. However, with the announcement of a recent update to Senra, they piqued my interest enough to take a second look.
Slipping into the updated version of the Senra Jamie mesh head with last year’s shape, I noticed some changes. The mesh had a subtle overhaul—still not stunning, akin to sculpting a water balloon, but Jamie now looked marginally improved. The texture of the skin remains a low point, though; until the best skin designers on Second Life step in to upgrade Jamie, she’s doomed to be somewhat of a featureless form.

Bombi (Spring Rain) is a Spring themed event featuring seven Korean designers in SL. This event is small, but so lovely! I was able to check it out this morning, and I really liked that it’s in a small area, so you’re not overwhelmed by the size.
The shops featured in this event are:
- [Monso]
- Yoyo9
- *MY UGLYDOROTHY
- LittleGirl
- Mother Goose’s
- BCC
- U.F.O
I had a chance to meet a few of the lovely designers this morning, and also snapped a picture of Sora Ashbourne and Icemoon Lee. Aren’t they adorable?
There’s also a lucky board at this event, that’s fairly easy to win. While I was there, I won a tiny doll from LittleGirl.

A proper review of some items from the Bombi event is coming soon, but I wanted to show you guys a picture I did last night, wearing the My Bunny Band from monso (available at Bombi).
What I’m Wearing:
Pink Fuel – Alena (Honey)
Friday – Marie (Happy Blond)
Celoe – April Dress (Pinup)

Here’s a preview of the upcoming LeLutka Gem skin that will be released this Friday. If you’re a fan of the Kit skin released about two weeks ago, you will love Gem! Between Kit and Gem, I totally adore the Gem skin on my shape more, though the face is similar.
Have you noticed more skin designers are selling “skin packs” now, rather than selling individual skins? LeLutka has moved towards this direction by selling packs of skins that includes all the options so you can wear it alone or as a base and purchase add-on makeup packs to customize your look.
LeLutka – Gem (Light Brows)
LeLutka – Gem (Dark Brows)
The new Gem skins will be sold in two packs of four makeups each. Each pack also includes a base skin no makeup so it can be worn underneath add-on makeup packs very easily. Included with each Gem skin pack is two brows (Light and Dark) version, Eye bags tattoo (I love this so much!), Breast Enhancer tattoo, Blonde and Dark hair base tattoo, and a pair of sculpted LeLutka 2011 lashes/curl.
This pack of 12 tattoo lipsticks for Gem are sold separately, but they may work on Kit and other skins too (demo first!).
I’ll try to show the other add on packages at another time, but they’re absolutely stunning! There will be eye gems, fancy feather lashes, and eyeliners released on Friday as well.
What I’m Wearing:
Vive9 – Fredja (Dust&Sugar)

Zaara released new Sheer Coverups and matching mesh bikinis. I like this coverup better as a top, so I made an outfit based around it. This top is 90% sheer, so although an alpha is provided, it only takes away a bit of the shoulder, therefore, you really cannot wear an alpha with this top, so be sure to try a demo. I thought the mesh top had bulky shoulders, and it also floated about half an inch above my shoulders, so I wore long hair to cover it up.
Siddean Munro, the Queen of Feet & SLink, released new Tri-Colour Wedge add-on shoes. These include a HUD to change the wedge color and 3 straps (heel, mid, toe) individually.
What I’m Wearing:
Pink Fuel – Harley (Peach)
Exile – Uninvited (Stefani)
Action – Studded Kitty Headband
Zaara – Ria Coverup (S) Pearl
Fishy Strawberry – Incanto White (Sheer Tank)
Monso – My First Jeans (Grey 1) Size 2/S
SLink – Tri-Colour Wedges

Even though I'm the kid that can't play along or stick to other peoples rules, I have decided to participate in the Big Bad Blogger Challenge, where the lovely Alicia Chenaux can tell me what to blog for a whole week! Today's topic is:
How long have you been a blogger? How has it enriched your life?
I have been a blogger before it was called 'blogging' by the people who invented blogger.com! My blogger account dates back to 2001, when I use to write about real life things. Anyways, when I first joined SL it didn't even occur to me that people blogged about this game! I started my blog shortly after discovering FashionPlanet, so I could have a place to write about all the awesome clothes, hair, skin, shoes, etc, that I've found all over SL.
How has it enriched my life? If I wasn't blogging SL fashion daily, I don't think I would log in as much. My "job" in Second Life is a landlady and I have a shop but it's terribly dull chasing after rental boxes and making things (which I hardly make!). I love that through blogging I can share my discoveries and help people spend their Lindens faster! I've gotten a lot of encouragement and positive feedback from this site, except for the few anonymous commenters that tell me how much stuff I blog suck – you know who you are!! If I didn't piss somebody off, I would feel like I haven't been opinionated enough. Jk.. I welcome all comments and feedback, you guys make blogging a pleasure for me. 🙂
That is all.. 'til tomorrow. I promise I'll show you a picture of my SL office again, I couldn't find it today.
