I’m at Armenelos, a perfect Greek island with charming homes and stairs leading to scenic places to relax or take pictures.
I didn’t get an invite to preview the Summero f Love fair, but like any good fashionista, I snuck in 😛 It was lag free and awesome. The fair doesn’t officially open til tomorrow so check back later, I’ll post a few other things I bought.
I went in search of some new skins and found this Sophie skin from Lara Skins. It’s not perfect, but hey, it was cheap and the face is lovable. For $600L you get all 5 skin tones, hair base version, and cleavages! I’m pairing it with the Miranda hairstyle from Exile, a fair exclusive, so be sure to get yourself a pack while you’re there. Wavy/Curly hairstyles that doesn’t flicker is so hard to find in SL, but Exile does it so well because this is not flexi, it’s all sculpted.
Here I am picture whoring on a nice Greek patio…
What I’m Wearing:
Exile – Miranda (Dusk)
Lara Skin – Sophie (Pale)
Hucci – Wild Child (Wild Pink)
LeLutka – Pow Pumps (Black)
Hello from my Linden Home! By April of this year, it will have been 4 years since I claimed my first Linden Home. Time goes by quickly! I’ve been thinking a lot about my Linden Homes, including how much I’m spending on my region. I won’t say how many Linden Homes I had at my peak, but I have four of them now. I’ve given up homes in the same theme in the past month and decided to just keep one with any theme I like. I’m still trying to leave even more, and unless the next theme interests me, I’ll probably end up with just three homes. Like everyone else, I’m still waiting for those 2048 Linden Homes.
Since the Concierge Linden Home service for Premium Plus came out, people have asked me to leave my homes so they can ticket for it. Sorry, but that’s not how it works. Abandoned homes go into a queue for anybody to get from the Land Page on the Second Life website. I’ve always thought the ticketing process was highly inefficient and there has to be a more instant solution. Even if I wanted to abandon a house for someone to use their Premium Plus to claim, they can’t without risking the house being taken by other residents.
Digit Darkes released this awesome new GossipGirl dress in black & purple, and it’s very glam and sparkly, I love it. It’s the perfect party dress, but I’ve decided to make it dark by wearing the miaSnow Dahlia skin, which I think is totally the best goth doll skin…. it’s beautiful and crazy looking. Or crazy beautiful. 😛
I’m feeling artsy, so I’m using some falling petals particles by Neil Protagonist in these photos.
And a lil crazy
Keeping this look simple — I’m wearing Digit Darkes Gossip Girl Dress | Cake – Sin hair in white | Juicy Classic Pumps (Grape)
Below is the Bauhaus dress by Digits Darkes release that has amazing flexi-movements, like all her other releases. I looove flexi’s! I’m a sucker for prints and bold sashes.
The Avatar Welcome Pack is now available in the library and is free for all residents. To use it, copy the entire pack from the library into your inventory. I decided to challenge myself by dressing from head to toe in free items. Additionally, SeraPlus, the newly released gift pack from Seraphim, is also available. However, this gift pack is for paid residents only, meaning you need to be a Plus, Premium, or Premium Plus member to access it. I chose to mix and match items from both of these packs to create my version of Gogo Lite. Given the limitations of this mesh head and body, I think I did fairly well.
Almost immediately, I noticed that because I was using the lite Avalon head, I lack a HUD to control various features – can’t change lashes, expressions, HD makeups, etc. Furthermore, some of the shape sliders for facial adjustments are disabled. While I could edit about 90% of the features, one slider I really wanted to use, the chin depth slider, was unfortunately unavailable.
UPDATE: You can edit the chin slider and all of the sliders if you wear ANY BODY that is not Legacy Lite. I was able to edit the Avalon Lite head when I’m wearing the Maitreya LaraX body.
This is my first time wearing Legacy, so I can’t provide an informed opinion about it. Since it was free, I took the opportunity. However, I spent quite some time searching for a long sleeve alpha to cover my elbows, which were poking through the top; this was not included in Riot’s package. I assume the SeraPlus gift is aimed at residents with the full Legacy body, but if you search for it, you can likely find a free alpha to hide the arms. I also added a random shorts alpha to maintain modesty, as there were instances where private areas peeked through in various poses.
As for the Avatar Welcome Pack, while they stated that HUDs were omitted to simplify things for new residents, I believe HUDs are crucial for learning. It would have been beneficial to include at least some HUDs or controls. Though I find the free body and head adequate, the inability to hide certain body parts is a significant limitation. To top it off, I noticed I don’t have any fingernails, and the nails on the body skin I’m wearing is a hot mess on the Legacy lite body.
Overall, whether you’re a new resident or an experienced player looking spruce up your avatar, the Avatar Welcome Pack provides lots of items to get you started. If you prefer not to spend any money at all, I recommend checking out FabFree for all the latest freebie offerings.
I’m out of the skybox, and on the beach! This new Maitreya Mignon Dress has the cutest backside and lots of derrière. I can totally see myself spending the rest of the Summer in this comfortable looking dress. I wish there was a matching bikini or bathing suit, too!
What I’m Wearing:
Truth – Tashia (Cocoa)
Maitreya – Mignon Dress (Violet-Red)
LeLutka – Mischa (Samuri) Shoes
League – Wanderer (Wood Medley) Bracelet
Morantique has a gorgeous Mona Lisa Skybox that would make a great backdrop for photos or a party room (it comes with a pool!). You can view the skybox rezzed in world here. I loved it when I saw it! Rezzing the skybox is super easy, and you can furnish with furniture made specifically for the skybox or with your own.
I really like the bedroom set, living room set, and matching vanity. Everything you see in the picture is included inside the furnished package – even the plants and lights!
Here’s a view of most of the pool, as seen from the bed. Isn’t it lovely?
