I’ve done nothing productive today except make this Barbie Makeup on the new SL 2.0 tattoo layer. I’m quite happy with it, even though I drew that eye makeup with my mouse. I totally respect skin makers for the wonderful work they do, cos this isn’t easy at all!
This is me… on my new land. Happy shiny smiling Gogoness.
After being in SL for almost 2 years, I’ve finally taken the plunge and bought some mainland! zomg!!! I know I did things in reverse. I bought a sim, and couple of open spaces… but I’m really really really excited to own some MAINLAND. My friends gripe about mainland all the time, so I’ve not really had to deal with annoying neighbors and such… looking forward to happy times! Hopefully my new neighbors are nice and have good taste 😛
Can’t tell you where it is but I will say it was bloody expensive and has waterfront access and it has more prims than my open space sim! Here’s to happy good times in mainland!
Update 7/6/17: I was contacted by a Linden and told they’re looking into this.

This post makes me sad. I don’t want to type it. I’ve been trying to avoid it by settling the matter privately or seeking help from Linden Lab on the downlow. But after several tries to get the office’s attention about what’s going on, I think the only real solution is to make this issue public. They simply aren’t responding because what I have to report doesn’t fit exactly into their usual categories.
Everyone knows I’m about art. It’s what I do for a living irl and I’m very happy with it. After a great bout of years in the art field, I got involved with Linden Endowment for the Arts thinking that would be great experience for joining a real, larger panel for an established museum. Unfortunately, that’s not what I found here.

Someone left a comment on my blog about hair and I thought I would answer it, cos actually it’s a very good question!!
Gogo,you always post a bunch of hair from truth,exile,lamb and fri.day…why dont you try other stores…i dont know why the whole of sl fashionista brigade is stuck on hair thats more ahem ‘popular’…granted the fact that these stores do actually have great hair textures and all…but really what about a little bit of oldies like analog dog,jolie femme,bishwear,cake,shop sue,magika and i mean stores that make hair actually look like hair?
Hi Anon! You’re totally right, I do wear Exile, Truth, LeLutka, Friday and a few other brands more than others because I love their Blonde textures and their hairstyles. These brands are undeniably good, and they have mass appeal.
In the past, I have worn ALL of the other oldbie brands that you have mentioned in your comment. I still wear Cake hair from time to time, and also go back to “oldbie” brands when they release new stuff. Cake, for example, has evolved and stayed pretty up-to-date. I won’t wear my very old Cake hairstyles (3 yrs old) but I will wear the newer releases because Stumbelina has incorporated sculpts and updated her textures. That’s the key for me, and I think for a lot of people in SL, especially fashion bloggers. We like NEW. We want our hair to match our skins. Skins have drastically improved over the past years and so, we want our hair to look just as good. If an oldbie brand does not evolve, it just becomes well, old.. and outdated.
I’m not hating on any of the brands you’ve mentioned in particular.. just saying, perhaps you don’t see them featured more prominently is because they just don’t look that great. People want VALUE for their money. Why buy “new” hair that looks outdated from brands that have not evolved?
Btw, I have a lot of oldbie brands in my inventory, some I haven’t worn in years. I’m just too lazy to box them up and too sentimental to delete them.
I’ve deleted a few hair brands from my inventory cos they’re too old but I’ve kept almost everything that I might still wear from time to time.
I’m so happy when things from different creators goes beautifully together. I remembered that I had this Dia De Los Muertos jewelry set from Violet Voltaire and it matches one of the textures on the Take it Easy Tote from Boom.
The Boom tote so versatile, it includes 22 different textures and the straps are scripted to color-change as well. There are so many beautiful textures to choose from, it’s such a great deal and a must have if you love bags.
Tiny Bird released the St Augustine dress recently, and I’m so impressed with the textures and the sculpted attachments. It’s pretty cool to see how diverse SL content creators are — and they’re always trying new things. I had no idea that Autumn Hykova had a hidden clothes making talent! More cutesy dresses is always a good thing.

Do you like fun animations? The new animations add-on for LeLutka mesh heads are amazing! I’m a huge fan of cute things, and chewing gum just seems adorable, even more so virtually. LeLutka released Gum Gum Boom and Delights Cream. These animations are for gum chewing and eating ice cream, but I suppose they can be used for some adult things too… use your imagination. Watch the official video, it’s definitely sexy.
I am dressed head to toe in donuts! I love sweet prints, and it doesn’t get any sweeter than the donuts print on my shoes and top.

Exile – Luster
The Secret Store – Leigh Ruffle Top, Fannie Capri Pants
Ingenue – Delish Heels (Prints)
LeLutka – Gum Gum Boom
Glitterati has just released this set of 10 ‘Profile Photo’ poses, it includes the pink Phone prop too! I’m pretty sure everyone is familiar with the head-tilt, arms outstretched pose you do irl when you’re snapping pictures for social networking sites. I think these are brilliant for SL, especially fashion bloggers. If Gogo had to pick one pose, I’m sure it would look something like the one above. Hello, Vanity! *click*
Ow, neck cramp (but still hot!)
I’ve been seeing these Akeyo KnittBoots everywhere, so I wanted to try a pair for myself. The HUD is incredibly versatile! You can change size & change colors for every single component using the color-picker. I played around with it, it’s super easy to use. I love customization, they’re so worth the money. These will match anything you want to color-match it to!
My only gripe about these boots is that they’re WAY huge out of the box. I had to resize using the HUD, but once I resized it, the foot was way too big for the new smaller size. I had to adjust it a bit, and lower the socks so it won’t show too much. That’s all, a small fix but.. hmm, I wish it was resize friendly.
What I’m Wearing:

Exile – Gossip Girl (Dusk)
Fishy Strawberry – Harder Tee (White/Black)
