I love secrets. Who doesn’t? And most people think that *I* cannot keep a secret, which is not true. I can keep a secret if I determine that they’re not telling me the secret to manipulate me. For example, I hate when a “friend” tells a secret and says “oh I am only telling you this” right before they ask you for a bunch of favors. Screw off!
I feel like there are secrets and then there are secrets.
How do you feel when your friends tell you secrets, do you like it or hate it? Can you keep a secret to yourself??

I’m back to show you a recent release by Utilizator that’s made my day–the Venus Anime Mesh Head! Although I loved the anime head I was wearing previously, it made my av look a bit young… this one makes me look like a young woman. Plus, it’s incredibly customizable just like the last one.
I like this avatar so much that I think I’m going to ditch the default SL one, except in the case of creating makeup and nails for it. But before you do that to yours, check out my caveat about what mesh body you pick to match this awesome head.
NOTE: I’m wearing custom textures with this head!
The Head
The Venus mesh head is 500L and is tintable, comes with its own set of eyes, and expressions so you can customize yours. The marketplace also has custom textures you can apply to your head so you can stand apart even further. Even if you buy a custom head texture, you can also purchase eyebrow and eyelash textures from other designers. That way, you can mix and match looks even further. Check out this blog post to see a few examples of custom head textures released so far!
Picking A Body
Most of you might just purchase the Venus head and pair it with the default SL body or a mesh body you’ve purchased already. However, if you’re someone considering wearing what I’m wearing in the above picture, you’ll need to read on.
If you want a mesh body from the same creator of this mesh head, but you want to still be able to wear most of your SL clothing, get the Avatar 2.0 body. It doesn’t have a lot of boob sizes, but it matches the mesh head a lot better and comes with its default skin tones already.
However, I like the wasp-waist the body I’m wearing comes with… which is the Kemono mesh body. It’s wonderfully curvy but you’ll need to buy separate chest parts for it if you don’t want a flat one. It can wear less SL clothing than the 2.0 body, but it’s way cuter. For boobs, people either seem to buy this set or this set (but I got this set).
Demo all the extra parts before buying, you might not like them!
Cannibal Island, where I took photos today. Here it is at night.
Dressing Up The Kemono Avatar
After this, you’re wondering: what about clothing for the Kemono body?
First things first: Kemono is very turtleneck and fluffy-skirt friendly. Some of what you have in your inventory will fit your new avatar already. I’m able to, for example, wear a lot of puffy skirts from Tres Blah with ease. As far as mesh sizing goes, it fits a little smaller than size XXS. Clothing stores that have these sizes in mind will be your best friend.
For jeans, bell bottom or loose-cut jeans will work. I went digging in my invy and found some Maitreya jeans that fit my av perfectly! It helps cut back on spending so you can get others things that are specifically created for the Kemono.
After you find some mesh clothing you already have that fits, here are some clothing made specifically for the Kemono that I recommend:
There’s a lot more out there, but these items will get you started! Whatever you pick, demo everything to make sure you’re happy with it. You don’t want to spend a million Lindens trying to get what you want.
For hair? I personally like Exile, Alice Project, Chemistry, and Lamb for hair choices with the Venus. We’re all different, though, so look around to see what fits your av’s personality!
Also! If you were looking for the rest of my super-bright art collection?They are now all on the grid here. You can now buy the whole set!
Cannibal Island has its own weather season. When I took this picture, a tornado had just disappeared. The waves are wonderfully laid-out to feel natural; obviously, the owner is very passionate about water.
What I’m Wearing:
Flowers: Boom – Nature’s Crown (Dark Pink)
Hair: Alice Project – Mary (manually tinted)
Top: Puppy – Ruffled Corset Top
Skirt: ABC Denim Skirt
Shoes: Rei’s Stuff – Heels for Kemono Human Feet
Necklace: Yummy – Miss Havisham’s Broken Heart
Earrings: Maxi Gossamer – Widdershins (Cross And Skulls)
One of my SL friends, Alicia Chenaux, is now a Twitch streamer, and she occasionally receives gifts from people that watch her stream. I think it’s so nice that the Twitch community shows their appreciation of each other by giving real-world gifts, not just in-game things.
How can Second Life residents show their appreciation for each other outside of Second Life? I’ve been researching some platforms used by online content creators, and here are three that are a good start.
Ohh la la, Exile has just released new hairstyles!
I am wearing the sexy Majandra and Dori, both in Chocolate texture. I love how Majandra frames the face and it’s not symmetrical, which totally adds character. This hair would make a great ‘head shot’ image for something on the beach or outdoors cos it looks like there’s a slight breeze blowing through the hair.
Also, if you looove the short retro bangs look, Dori is a super cute pony tail hairstyle
It's not a secret that when a new brand emerges and all the designers happen to have the same last name, people automatically assume they're alts of other designers. fri.day has been getting a lot of buzz lately, people are curious about the real designers behind this newly created brand.
When I checked the fri.day blog, the list of designers seems to have grown. As of right now, there 8 Monday accounts associated with the brand. This could be a team of people, or just one person. Who knows?
Designers:
Darling Monday
Jolie Monday
Jumah Monday
Noa Monday
Noemi Monday
Parvarti Monday
Viva Monday
Public Relations
Taryn Monday
So many people have sent me IMs asking me if I knew who is behind fri.day, but like you, I don't have a clue! Someone told me they knew for sure who the designers are behind this brand, but without any concrete evidence, I don't know if I can believe it. Whoever they are, I've heard nothing but compliments about their savvy marketing and sleek ads.
You'll probably see the outfits featured on other websites many times over, so I'm going to skip right to the shoes!! These are very basic styles, but the textures are nice, and the colors match their clothing line. You know it's hard to find shoes that match clothes perfectly, so I know a lot of people will love that they can purchase a complete matching outfit, right down to the shoes.
Hello from Cherishville! This stunning autumn region is a must-visit for any fall enthusiast and photographer. It’s finally feeling like autumn here, and I couldn’t be happier. Bring on the rainy days and cozy vibes!
Even in the rain, when my energy drink cravings hit, I find myself walking to the store to grab one. This NRG can from Flair is amazing—it features an animated drink opening sequence and even includes a static hold pose. Plus, it comes with a handy HUD to change colors!
So I have a hard time answering this. I honestly have people in my life (I hesitate to call them friends) that tell things to me because they want me to leak it. Sadly I disappoint them! And I also have people who will tell me things to manipulate me and I refused to let them do it by /ignoring. 9 times out of 10 I have dumped the above people out of my life, but some of them still are around because the problem of removing them is far greater than the simple act of ignoring.
As for friends, I hope any one of my friends knows they can trust me with whatever they would like to keep in confidence.
Only a couple of persons has told me secrets and wanted me to leak them, but that was back in 6th grade. The rest has been honest secrets about their soft spots, kind of.
I once leaked a secret by accident and it really broke the trust between me and a close friend. It wasn’t such a “super secret” in my opinion say it was also the whole thing about keeping it secret.
Whatever secrets people tells me, I will keep them to myself until they say so. I won’t even leak it even if they “seem” to want it.
The only secrets I’ve decided to leak has been my own..;} Aouch.
“..My only secret and I had to go and leak it.. My secret garden is not so secret anymore”
