( This is how I feel most of the time in front of my PC. )

( 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! 🙂
I feel like such a SteamPunk Princess with this new Lillian hairstyle from LeLutka. I’m not doing the hair justice at all, cos I didn’t dress SteamPunkishly (BUT SOME DAY I WILL). This hair has a color-changing snood that can also be turned off. This hair is amaaaazing, I’ll have a hard time taking it off.
Kaelyn Alecto invited me to visit her lovely sim, so visited today to shoot these photos. The sim is unfinished, but so gorgeous already! I miss having my own space, but I’m also happy when other people invite me to visit their spaces!
The new Fabric Platform shoes from SLink are so cute! I love this shape and the strap, reminds me of ballet shoes. I’m playing around with SL’s mirror-water effect, if you want to do it too, check out my post about it from a few months ago.

Exile has just released 3 new hairstyles! Two are for women, and one for men. I’m only featuring the two women’s hairstyle (cos you do NOT want to see my boy shape… he’s very metro looking). I love this particular shade of Chestnut brown so much, it goes great with Brown brows. I’m just as particular with my Brown shades as I am with my Blondes!
Psst, a little birdie told me that there’s a cute little group gift at Exile. It’s the Carlotta hairstyle in a special color.
At the height of Bellisseria, I started attending the Concierge & Land User Group meetings because I wanted the latest tea on what was happening with Bellisseria, Mainland, and land in general. The meeting has since been renamed the Land & Support User Group, and in the beginning, I actually thought it was pretty productive. The Lindens in charge listened to feedback, answered questions, and residents had a chance to bring up things that mattered to them.
Over time, though, I started wondering how much these meetings represent what the average Second Life resident actually wants. The people who attend regularly are obviously going to have the loudest voices, and sometimes those voices result in things the rest of us have to live with. I will never get over the ugly bridges connecting parts of Bellisseria. Instead of one long ugly bridge, couldn’t we have had a cute little island between the two themes, with little boats or walking paths connecting everything? There were so many ways they could have made it cute, but somebody wanted bridges, and now we have bridges.
There are actually a lot of official Second Life user group meetings happening regularly, and I think more residents should attend them, especially if you care about where Second Life is headed. You might be surprised by what other residents are asking Linden Lab to change, and some of those changes will eventually affect YOUR Second Life.
I’ve also been watching recordings of some of the other Second Life user group meetings on Pantera’s YouTube channel, and that’s actually where I first heard some of the discussions around the recent Marketplace changes. One of the new policies will automatically unlist products that haven’t sold in a year AND belong to a merchant who hasn’t logged in for a year. I think requiring both conditions makes the policy way too lenient. In my opinion, it should be products that haven’t sold OR merchants who haven’t logged in. Otherwise, we’re still leaving a lot of unpopular products and potentially unsupported products sitting on the Marketplace.
Sometimes I listen to these meetings and think Linden Lab may be listening a little too closely to whichever residents happen to be the most vocal in the room. Maybe some of these ideas will work out, but I suspect they’ll eventually find out that a few of these policies didn’t accomplish much, or made things worse overall. That’s also why I think more people should attend these meetings. If only the same group of residents shows up every week, those are naturally going to be the opinions Linden Lab hears the most.
My look for the recent Land & Support User Group meeting reminded me of a peasant, which felt very appropriate for a land meeting, LOL. Landed Peasants, reporting for duty! If you own land or care about what happens to Second Life, I really do encourage you to attend one of these meetings sometime. The more residents who show up and speak up, the more voices Linden Lab gets to hear.
LeeZu released these amazing new Yve Pants that has a sculpted belt, and sculpted leg prims. I think these pants are nearly perfect, the leg prims & pants meets seamlessly, and they end right before the knee joint so it’s perfect for AOs & works with many different poses! I had to lower my hips saddle, and butt size just a tad to have a better fit, cos I wanted the belt to be snug around my avatar.
Although these are not board shorts, I paired it with a cute little bikini top from BOOM and and wore it to the beach! These are so many ways to style these pants, as they come in a variety of prints & solid colors.
What I’m Wearing:
Truth – Bethany (Swedish)
BOOM – Infinity Pin Stripe Bikini (White)
LeeZu – Yve Pants (Vintage Blue)
Elate – Theia Sandals (Ivory)
&
What Next – Surf’s Up Pose Set (Surfboard)
