If I wasn’t obsessed with prim shoes, I would totally be a Mermaid in SL! I’ve always wanted a Mermaid costume but I’ve never had one until yesterday. I’m so in love with it, especially when worn with the Mermaid AO. It’s so fun and relaxing to watch my avatar float around and do little turns in the water. I love it!!
Visit Evie’s Closet for this Nereida Mermaid costume and Mermaid AO.
Are you a gacha addict? I’m not, I can’t even remember the last time I paid a gacha machine. The Arcade gacha event has a couple of really cute things, but I won’t play it cos I don’t want to start an obsession. Once I have my heart set on a color, I will go bankrupt acquiring it, so yea, I have tried to avoid gachas unless I can buy the color off someone with multiples. My lovely friends sent me the Cherry colored Ariane flats from Ingenue, and the Momogram Marquee Light in “G” from Commoner, both available at The Arcade.
How much do you spend at gacha events? Do you try to collect a whole set or happily settle on having just one or two favorite colors?
What I’m Wearing:
Pink Fuel – Kumi (Peach) Pure (bwnbrow/crease)

Be a cutie with this new BOOM 15-Love tennis dress! The tiara totally belongs here, cos you don’t sweat or mess up your hair in Second Life sports 🙂
I’ve tinted a few hair strands pink cos I think it works beautifully here. One of the perks of wearing light platinum hair is being able to tint it any color you want.

Donna Flora – Malia tiara
BOOM – 15-Love Dress (white/lt pink)
BOOM – Cuffed Socks (white)
BOOM – Tennis Racket (tintable)
UBU – Drunks shoes
Hello from Aurelias! We’re adding touches of Spring to the town square, and the centerpiece is this beautiful Blooming Grand Piano from Dust Bunny. Add your photos to the Aurelias Flickr group to be selected for the group cover. I love seeing the region through your eyes.
I’m wearing the new Ubon head from LeLutka. It’s slightly different than Kaya, but I think I’m ready to move on. I spent days modifying my shape to my liking; it’s a work in progress. I shared this raw screenshot on Twitter a few days ago. I love the HD brows so much, and this is the first time I’m undecided between the really thin HD brows or the one I normally wear, the less thin one. They both work so well for this head. I normally only like the bottom two, the rest are way too bushy and thick for me.
I’ve been attending the Concierge and Land User Group meetings and they’re so lively and interesting. I started going to be more informed about upcoming land changes and to give feedback. Wendi Linden & Vix Linden were such great hosts. Here’s the schedule for the meeting — see you at the next one!
I already know a lot about Second Life land, maybe too much. I’m obsessed with regions, Linden Homes, and mainland (even though mainland is my least favorite land product). Recently I learned that some residents don’t utilize the 10% group land bonus because they don’t understand it. I’m currently holding a piece of mainland, and with the group bonus, I can donate my extra tier to my friend. If every Premium member (who doesn’t own a Linden Home) deeds their tier to group, they would have a little extra to donate to a public project or acquire more land. If you own a big enough parcel of mainland, where the 10% bonus is 512sqm or more, you could use that extra to get a Linden Home.
If you find land stuff interesting, let me know in the comments. I’m happy to share some tips & tricks to maximize your land-owning experience without spending extra money.
What I’m Wearing:
LeLutka – Ubon Mesh Head
Exile – Elia
MVT – Lady Fashionista bag (White)
Tetra – Bella Dress
Tetra – Off-Shoulder Cardigan
Ingenue – Olivia Heels (Champagne)
Yummy – Dainty Layered Necklace
It’s pretty obvious I’m not opposed to gacha machines when I create gacha sets myself. Recently, however, Gogo brought up a pretty interesting conversation on Plurk about what’s okay to include in a gacha and what isn’t.
By the way. Is it gatcha, or gacha? How do you spell that? Because I’m pretty torn on that issue.
Anyway, here are my personal rules for content creation when it comes to Random Stuff You Stick In A Machine In Order To Get Money:
Gacha(gatcha?) machines are supposed to be fun to play. The dress I’m wearing in this picture, for example, is from Junbug and had reasonable common prizes to win on top of the rare corset I wanted as well. I was fine with playing the machine over and over in order to obtain what I desired. It’s an even deal when your machine is set up that way; both creator and customer walk away happy.
But when the practice gets out of control, it’s giving your client base the short end of the stick. They aren’t your enemy and they aren’t obligated to be your source of income. Treat them with respect when you create your machines, and they’ll come back to play again and again.
What I’m Wearing
Pink Fuel Skin
Junbug – Madame Corbeau’s corset (rare)/silk ruffles/split silk skirt (Ivory)
Blueberry – Tiara (hair fair gift)
Dura – Girl’s hair 51 (Strawberry)
Location: 005: Dreams of Secrets
Donna Flora has just released the Rosetta Dress in four fantastic Spring-y colors! The sculpted ruffles on this skirt is amazing, and unlike other sculpted skirts, this one is easy to wear! You can run, walk, move in this and your hip/leg won’t go through the prim skirt because of the slightly puffy shape.
I am also wearing Donna Flora’s Auturo jewelry set and matching ring with a HUD to change the gem colors! There are 6 choices available, so you’re getting a great deal with this.
Visit Donna Flora!
What I’m Wearing:
Exile – Love Song 2 (Champagne)
Donna Flora – Aturo Ring
Donna Flora – Aturo Set
Donna Flora – Rosetta Dress
L+R+W – Venus (White)
I have to show you this sneak peek of SLink's soon to be released Lorelei hair! It is a casual side ponytail and perfect in every way. The sculpts and textures are amazing and includes a texture changing HUD! You just wear the HUD, click on the color you want and the hair re-textures itself. It's pretty damn amazing, and I loooooooooove it.
The Color & Texture Changer HUD has 27 colors to choose from! Here is a small sampling of the colors available:
I know, bad Gogo for teasing buuuut, I just wanted to let you know if you were going to splurge on hair this weekend, let it be the Lorelei style from SLink!
