( This is how I feel most of the time in front of my PC. )
No Strings Attached is giving away a set of “Computer Says” poses for the WILD.Released Stamp Hunt! Follow the website for instructions and info on how you can receive these poses and other goodies! There are lots of great shops participating in this event.
( This is a pretty accurate depiction of me when my PC breaks down. )
There are 10 poses included in the No Strings Attached prize, and that includes the super cute laptop! 🙂
The Attituede pose shop moved into Juicy Del Mar and their poses are inexpensive and includes super cute props. I adore the Swing! poses, they're only $150L for the pack of 4 poses and includes the beautiful animated flower swing.
If you look around, there are some cheapies pose packs for $5-$10L too!
The Kunglers Renata dress is like wearing whipped cream! The top & skirt is made of hundreds of wavy translucent sculpts. This dress includes 3 belts that attaches to the stomach, they come in Red, White, and Black.
My friend Wilma tempted me with these J's Western Boots in Pink!!! She said she's going to wear them everywhere, with everything (even in bed, lol).
I have no idea when these Dutch Touch Jolie skins are coming out but the Blonde brows option is totally my favorite. I think Dutch Touch has one of the best (most realistic) lips on the grid. I'm usually hesistant to say somebody does "the best" of anything since it's all subjective anyways, but I really do think that DT does great moist & nude lips… I want them on ALL of my skins.
When brands leave popular social media platforms, it becomes incredibly hard to keep up with their releases. That’s what happened with Toksik. For whatever reason, probably money, they decided to leave Flickr, and since then it’s been a challenge to track their new releases or even look back at what I already own or might want to buy. I find it a little odd that so many designers say they left Flickr because it’s “too expensive,” without thinking of that small yearly cost as part of their marketing budget.
Anyway, I saw the Vicious outfit at Nightshade and debated whether to buy the fatpack for L$4,000, which includes all the colors, or try my luck with the gacha machine. I ended up getting a few friends together, and we all played until everyone had a full outfits in all the colors, including the rare hat and collar. I spent less than half of what the fatpack costs, so that’s my suggestion if you want this outfit too. I’m still not a fan of gacha though. If this outfit had been a regular release, it would have come as a complete set instead of being split into pieces. It’s just a dress with a hat, after all.
In case you haven’t heard, there’s a new Premium Plus plan with no stipend. Designers are thrilled, of course. This plan costs $143 a year if you pay annually, or $191 if you pay monthly. But if you’re someone who buys lindens occasionally throughout the year, this plan probably isn’t for you. You don’t really save much, if anything at all, once you factor in the lack of a stipend.
I have to admit, I’m feeling a bit burnt out on Halloween events across the grid. I’m ready for cozy fall vibes and something more cheerful. But if you’re a Halloween lover, this is definitely your month. There are tons of hunts, freebies, and events happening right now, including Shop & Hop.
Most people know this iconic line from Gone with the Wind, but have they actually sat through all four hours of the movie? If you haven’t, you should at least once. Scarlett O’Hara isn’t exactly likable, but she was a survivor, and that’s probably why she’s remained such a memorable character all these years later.
I recently rewatched Gone with the Wind to get in the mood for photographing my current obsession from this round of The Arcade.
My friends were absolutely gushing over the Monique dress from PurpleMoon, and of course we all wanted the rare Floral version. With the right styling, it looks like something Scarlett herself might have worn while dramatically descending a staircase at Tara. As you all know, I have a weakness for period-inspired fashion, so even though the print does remind me a little bit of a floral sofa, I was willing to overlook that minor detail. The gloves are a lovely touch, and I’m even wearing the matching heels underneath the dress, though you can’t see them in these photos.
I normally don’t pay much attention to gacha these days, but once in a blue moon I’ll keep playing until I get exactly what I want.
Speaking of that famous line, let’s circle back to it for a moment.
The thing amusing me this week is watching some designers encourage other creators to drop support for LaraX, while also suggesting customers should simply switch bodies instead.
This dress is made for LaraX. I bought it because it’s made for LaraX. If it wasn’t, I wouldn’t have.
I’ve never switched mesh bodies just to wear a particular outfit, and I probably never will. If something isn’t made for the body I’m using, I move on. There is so much talent in Second Life that no single brand is irreplaceable.
Until something better comes along, I’ll continue wearing Maitreya LaraX. It does everything I need it to do. It’s funny to me that there are still residents happily wearing system bodies, yet some people act as though using a mesh body that’s still one of the most widely supported on the grid somehow makes you outdated.
I’m not resistant to change. I’m not afraid of trying new things. I’m just not interested in switching to something that doesn’t offer me anything better than what I already have.

Here’s a small preview of the new hairs by Rita Groshomme. This is the sweetest hair collection I’ve seen in a long time and compliments the fresh Gala makeups perfectly.
The Curio sim with a beautiful custom build and plenty of open space to relax and take pictures outside.
Join the “Gala & Rita Design Announcements” group for early access @ Noon tomorrow and group gifts.
The new WWI Argyle Vests Set is brilliant! You get each piece on all layers, so you can mix-and-match or wear it alone as a separate piece. I like it when designers go the extra mile and give us more options!
<– a closer look
