Jetpack sent me the annual report for JuicyBomb, I totally look forward to this every year. Here it is: JuicyBomb 2013 Annual Report! It’s so nice to see my blogging efforts summarized and displayed in a festive fashion. I love fireworks! 🙂
Big thanks to the top commenters: Chantel Ashdene, Veronika Larsson (even though you’re totally insane, and was often rude to me), and Raven Serrurier!
Thank you so much for being the best blog readers on the grid!
I flew around SL in search of an interesting beach for my snapshots and I’m reminded of why I hate in-world shots. Whenever I’m on a sim by myself and another avatar teleports in, they will find me and strike up a conversation or stand somewhere in my frame, or maybe even push me a little. C’mon sl newbs residents, if you see someone posing kind of awkwardly and standing in a far corner by themselves, just leave them alone.
This Miami Dress from Hucci is oh so sexy. I am wearing the group gift version cos I love the color combination, but I have my eye on the Wild Pink color too. If you want this for free, visit Hucci’s main store.
I paid AMG Boudoir a visit today and noticed they had some new hair releases out. I’m wearing the Simpson style in Blonde, I love the long flowy style. If you haven’t been to AMG Boudoir, you should! They’re the hair shop with a Gogolita hairstyle that I pretend is named after me. 😛
What I’m Wearing:
AMG Boudoir – Simpson (Blonde)
LeLutka – LoLa (Light) Base (L Brows)
LeLutka – LoLa (Lipstick) German Red
Hucci – Miami Dress (Group Gift)
I ran a poll on X (Twitter), and I can’t believe nearly half of the responses don’t like 2k Bakes on Mesh (BoM) textures! What’s not to like? Everything is more detailed and offers higher resolution. I’m obsessed with 2k BoM for skins, but I’m sure it’ll make decor, clothing, and everything else better too.
I tried on a handful of new 2k skins from various brands, and I think that not all of them are executing the 2k well. Some brands, which were already somewhat average before, had skins that were blurry; and now, in 2k, they are merely high-resolution blurry. You can see the flaws much more clearly, such as uneven skin tones and sloppy shading.
While I love Glam Affair skins, they’re not perfect, but they’re still one of the best skin brands on the grid. For instance, the Siu skin that I”m wearing has uneven nostrils. I could correct this with Izzie’s Nostril Changer, but I find that wearing fewer tattoo layers is a better for 2k skins. You lose detail on the skin when adding numerous tattoos, particularly on skins that are rich in texture. I can’t fix everything without compromising some skin quality, so I am trying to dial it back.
I wish more brands would release skins without baked on lashes and include a “closed eyes” version of the skin or, at the very least, a tattoo layer. One of my favorite features that Glam used to provide was a closed eyes tattoo, but they no longer offer that.
