How do you get me to show up to places? Mention gifts! 😛
LeLutka had a Red Event and gave away tons of Red colored goodies! I’m horrible at showing up for things, but did manage to dash in at the last few minutes. I’m wearing one of the gifts, I think it’s suppose to be a shirt but I don’t really like pants so I’m wearing it as a very short dress. Even though I’ve declared today to be Pants-less Day, I am wearing panties here (you just can’t see it).
I tried out Firestorm Zero so you don’t have to! Unfortunately, you can’t anyway, because Linden Lab sold streaming hours for only half a day before pulling the plug on it. So now they’re just not available. If you purchased some hours, you can still use those, but who knows when they will be back for sale. I reluctantly bought some hours just in case I wanted the option available in the future, and I wanted to try it out and compare it to Second Life Zero.
For those who may not know, Zero is the web browser version to access Second Life. The free version can be accessed through zero.secondlife.com, while the paid version can be found at zero.secondlife.com/fs (a lite version of the Firestorm viewer). I noticed right away that some of the latest Firestorm features were missing, but it is an acceptable version if you need to log in and explore.
I burned 30 minutes of my 20 streaming hours to make this video! I logged in with the goal of taking a photo, adjusting EEP settings, and experimenting with camera smoothing for video purposes. However, I struggled to turn off the UI, as the browser viewer did not respond to the keyboard shortcuts. Update! I found out how to turn off the UI. You can go through the menu and turn it off, or press Alt+Shift+U on your keyboard. But after I turned it off, I could not turn it back on, so I logged off.
Since we cannot save photos to a local drive on the browser viewer, I attempted to email a photo to myself. At high resolutions, it did not work. Finally, I selected the 1024 size photo, and it indicated that it was successful, but I did not receive the photo in my email. The browser experience also seemed quite pixelated to me, which gave me a headache towards the end.
Overall, Zero (and ZeroFS) is acceptable, but logging onto both versions remains a struggle. Linden Lab needs to address these issues if they are serious about offering browser streaming as a way to access Second Life.
Have you tried accessing Second Life through the browser? Let me know your thoughts!

Mouse Mimistrobell of Dark Mouse jewelry has just released some adorable new jewelry sets for Spring! I'm wearing the Wild Animal bangles, earrings, and matching belt in Zebra print above. Animal print is so tough to wear since it can be very loud but when it's done right, I like it a lot.
This is the Flowers are Blooming set (necklace + earrings) in Silver. Dark Mouse has really great pendants, they're really marvelous prim work. These are my favorite types of jewelry from DM, since I love a large pendant necklace.
Tp to Dark Mouse!
What I'm Wearing:
BeBae – Belina *Cinna – Bare-1a skin
Dutch Touch – Bra Dress Black
Exile – Love Song (mink) hair
Dark Mouse – Flowers are Blooming set
Darm Mouse – Wild Animal set
Milana (hair) is a collaboration between two designers, Asuka Martin of Dernier Cri and Sharifa Morenz. This new brand launches with a bang! All 20 styles are released at once, and they’re ssssmoking hot.
Fans of Dernier Cri will find this Hair Dye Menu HUD familar, cos Milana uses the same one. I really like this HUD, it reduces inventory clutter, and also shows me the full range of colors available. However, in laggy situations, the recoloring process can take up to a minute to complete and you may have to press the color selection more than once for all the prims to change.
Although these two creators are using the same textures, I find their style very different. Asuka’s hairs are very beautiful but a little on the small side and Sharifa’s hairs are larger and chunkier.
I’m definitely very excited to see what else Milana releases, cos I just love their hair texture (colors) choices. Strawberry Pink hair <3!

I LOVE NEW HAIR!!! This new Lizzy hairstyle from Monso is an adorable updo with bangs. This hairstyle has materials, which can be seen if you’re using the official SL viewer. Since the last hair release, Monso created a new hair HUD and made new hair colors! Yay, I love HUDs too.
The HUD also has a built-in re-sizer.
Materials! It’s shiny and more prominent under certain lighting conditions. I moved my Sun/Moon slider around to show you guys how the lighting affects the texture.
Katat0nik released the adorable Tulle Skirts! When she released the Imaginative School Girl Outfit last month, I fell in love with the Tulle skirt, so I asked for it as a separate item. I’m thrilled she made them, and even included a texture-change/tint HUD. I didn’t wear it in my post, but you can also get a free add-on waist band that goes with this skirt too.
What I’m Wearing:
Pink Fuel – Harley (Peach)
cheLLe – I am Doll Parts tattoo
Monso – My Hair Lizzie
Beetlebones – Cropped Petuna Top (XS) White
Katat0nik – Tulle Skirt
Katat0nik – (lt pink) White Garter Socks
BOOM – Friendship Bracelets
Filthy – F-Piercing v2 (modded and re-textured)
Digit Darkes released this awesome new GossipGirl dress in black & purple, and it’s very glam and sparkly, I love it. It’s the perfect party dress, but I’ve decided to make it dark by wearing the miaSnow Dahlia skin, which I think is totally the best goth doll skin…. it’s beautiful and crazy looking. Or crazy beautiful. 😛
I’m feeling artsy, so I’m using some falling petals particles by Neil Protagonist in these photos.
And a lil crazy
Keeping this look simple — I’m wearing Digit Darkes Gossip Girl Dress | Cake – Sin hair in white | Juicy Classic Pumps (Grape)
Below is the Bauhaus dress by Digits Darkes release that has amazing flexi-movements, like all her other releases. I looove flexi’s! I’m a sucker for prints and bold sashes.
Second Life just unveiled a new black and blue logo! Do you like it? I’m quite shocked at that they left the old teal green color behind – and decided to go with a generic bright blue. The explanation on the official blog announcement sounds nice and generic – the sky’s the limit!
I’ve always thought that the teal green color from the old logo was a nod to the name and Linden tree. Trees are green and soothing. Please take a vote below, and let me know if you like the old logo or the new logo!
pff a bit too late isnt it? I missed it and its YOUR FAULT! NOT! Sucks. 🙁
