SLB10 Opens Tomorrow! June 16th-June 29th. The theme for this year is Looking Forward, Looking back, so keep that in mind when you do the SLB10 Celebration Snapshot Contest!
This was taken at SLB10 Bear Island – It’s Torley Bear!
The Corn Field! This is not a new place, but something that’s been in Second Life for a long time. Yesterday was my first time at The Corn Field, and I am not too impressed. I guess it was brought back for the SLB10 Celebration, so visit while you still can! You wouldn’t want to miss out on some fabulous rows of texture corn.
I did use the Bokeh filter from PicMonkey for these two photos to jazz them up a little! I LOVE BOKEH!
The Corn Field was a region of mythological status where once naughty avatars were sent to think about what they had done. “The corn field” is a vast star-lit field of corn and was cut off from communication with the rest of the world (a reference to the classic Twilight Zone episode, “It’s a Good Life”).
It was located at the North-West tip of Orientation Island 1 and closed to the public. It was removed from the grid in mid-2012.
Hello from Aurelias! I’m still living out my Bridgerton dreams in Second Life. This particular look is so stunning that I’ve saved it as my default outfit. This way, I can effortlessly switch from my everyday casual look to this elegant Victorian attire with just a click.
Over the weekend, I attempted to do some shopping but came up empty-handed. My current fashion mood is all about Victorian elegance, and nothing I found quite matched that vibe.
Curiously, I decided to give the Second Life mobile app another try. The app is now available to Premium and Premium Plus members. While it’s handy for logging in and chatting with friends, I found that navigating and performing any actions within Second Life remains a significant challenge. Movement is clunky, and rendering continues to be a nightmare. It’s clear that developers are making strides, but I can’t help but wonder how long this app will linger in beta.
The mobile app, in its current state, is unlikely to attract new users. New residents would find themselves better off downloading the viewer and logging in that way. The app’s limitations also mean it doesn’t quite hit the mark for existing residents either. Access to inventory and the ability to change outfits are crucial features that are sorely missed.
So, while it’s a step in an exciting direction, the Second Life mobile app still has a long journey ahead before it becomes a viable option for both new and seasoned residents.
Even though I rezzed in Second Life in 2006, the first 13 years of my SLife were spent on private regions. I bought my first region in my first year, so mainland was never something I paid much attention to. I didn’t even get Premium until I got my first Bellisseria home on April 15, 2019. Ever since then, I’ve been buying mainland here and there, holding snow land, bidding on auctions trying to get beach land, all of it. I love land. I don’t always love mainland chaos, but I love nice waterfront land enough to keep dealing with it.
So when I read the post about Gaeta 1 closing, I’m not even going to lie, my first thought was where the hell is Gaeta 1? Then I kept reading and saw they’re offering size for size replacement parcels and will work with owners to find something comparable. The second I read that, I went straight over there and bought land.
Gaeta 1 continent in Second Life
If owning land there is my ticket into the new Zindra continent, then I bought my ticket and I’m ready to move.
There’s a town hall Monday, April 20 at 11am SLT, so I’m hoping they give real details then. For residents like me that can move instantly, I hope Linden Lab lets us rush in and claim spots first. I’m not going to waste anyone’s time going back and forth for weeks. Just give me what was promised, a comparable parcel. Every piece of land I bought on Gaeta 1 is waterfront, so yes, I expect waterfront back.
What makes this fun for me is I remember when Bay City launched, and I remember Horizons too, but I wasn’t Premium back then. Now I am, and I am readyyyyyyyy.
The Adult land part does not bother me at all. I’m an adult. I also don’t think everyone is about to throw up sex clubs all over the ground. I think a lot of people will do homes, gardens, cute builds, and nice parcels like anywhere else. What I do hope for is some kind of covenant. No ugly visible ban lines, no giant prim walls killing views, no trash in the sky. Let’s start this continent off right.
This is not a fashion post, but I still need to say go get the new Margot tee from ISON. I wasn’t even going to buy it until I saw they were giving a free print HUD with any color pack. The prints are cute, it got me immediately, and now I own it.
Let’s talk about eyes some more. I’ve been accused of not sharing my eyes or lashes info because I “stole” them. This is a ridiculous idea because designers in SL are extremely generous with me (and my blog). I will share what I want to share, so no it is not ridiculous to keep some things to myself. Would you go to a top restaurant and demand to know their recipe? Some of the ways I do things, I feel is like my own recipe (for my avatar).
Now I will talk about these new Musing Eyes set from Muism because they’re fantastic. I feel that Muism is one of these Japanese brands that have been around for a long time, but they don’t get too much blog coverage.
There are 16 colors to choose from, no prim eyes (yet) but I’m hoping they will release some in the future. I think the size is just right for me — I didn’t see a demo though, but these are $150L per color.
Another popular question people ask me all the time is… where do I get my lashes! Sometimes I don’t answer these questions because it really does require a long explanation.
So I made a chart for you; this will show you exactly how I wear my lashes.
Start with the naked eye
Add 1 pair of lashes
Add another pair of lashes to go over it
Add a liner tattoo
Add a lash tattoo
You don’t have to do all of these steps, but that is how I do it. Shop around, find lashes that suits you, don’t try to copy me exactly, because I modify the lashes heavily.
Clawtooth – The Seas Met (AutumnMix) | Lovely Liz Pony (Bombshell Blonde)
Clawtooth is a hair store that I avoided for for months and months because I didn’t like the styles or textures when it first launched. Everyone said it was “so awesome” but I thought the sculpted prims were rough at first, and they still had a long way to go before the styles were wearable.
FINALLY, a couple of releases ago, I demo’d and fell in love with two styles. Then I went back for more…
I will be keeping an eye out for new Clawtooth releases now, because I think this brand has improved significantly and it’s actually something that I would wear normally and not just with costumes.
I’m still waiting for a nice Blonde texture but the Reds are superb! A certain little Red headed avatar got me hooked on Clawtooth.
I’m wearing the Laqroki Pearl skin again today. I love this skin but it doesn’t have a dark Red lipstick, so I typically just wear the nude makeups. But today I was still wearing the Lola (LeLutka) lipstick tattoo layer and I noticed that it lined up very well. It looks fabulous together, but I still wish Mallory Cowen would release tattoo lipstick layers for the Laq skins too, cos I like her lip textures.
I don’t really like the SL 2.0 client but I am suffering through it cos I love tattoo make-up layers!
What I’m Wearing:
Laqroki – Pearl 07 [Fair] Glow Skin
Clawtooth – The Seas Met
Clawtooth – Lovely Liz Pony
Whippet & Buck – Frilly Set (Striped Baby Rainbow)
