Alright guys, here’s your chance to vote on what content you’d like to see more of on Juicybomb! I tend to cover a lot of fashion but I am interested in Home and Garden, Tutorials, exploring SL places and oh, occasionally I like to write about things that I don’t like.
What do you want to see MORE of? And if it’s not listed in the choices below, please leave a comment! Thanks!

This new Inspire Dress from Spright also inspired me to create a softer style today [direct SLurl to Spright at Culture Shock]. I am pairing it with the new Seahorse (Pearl Starfish) necklace from Maxi Gossamer. This necklace comes in several styles & length — I especially love the long Seahorse one, but I’m saving it for another outfit.
I love everything about this Spright dress, except that it’s invisible inside!!! If you guys don’t mind, it’s probably fine, but it can be super awkward in-world or in certain poses.
What I’m Wearing:
Truth – Mercedes w/Roots (Swedish)
Spright – Inspire Dress (Pink)
Maxi Gossamer – Seahorse (Pearl Starfish) necklace
Celoe – Xylia Pumps (Spicymix)
It use to drive me insane when I tried to edit my shape, and the glaring bright light made it impossible to see my avatar’s features! I also was not a fan of the ‘edit’ pose, cos I prefer to use my own poses — even when I’m editing jewelry or clothes. A few years ago, I think SL introduced a feature in the official viewer (and maybe TPVs too), to uncheck going into the automatic position for appearance and build/edit. I’ll show you guys how!
I had assumed that many people already knew about this lil’ feature, but I asked my friends and some of them didn’t know.
I’m using the official SL viewer, with the Starlight skin, so the instructions are for this viewer only, but it’s probably similar in TPVs.
To get rid of the edit pose:
Go to Preferences -> Move/View/Display tab -> Move/View tab -> find Automatic position for: Build/Edit and Appearance, uncheck Appearance.
I have Build/Edit unchecked too, but just the Appearance controls Editing Shape.
Now let’s talk about the bright light! I actually accidentally discovered this, when I asked my friend if she had the light and she said yes, since I haven’t seen it myself in years. What I discovered was that, with low graphic settings, you will get the light when editing appearance, cos “Advanced Lighting Model” is disabled/unchecked.
To get rid of the light:
Go to Preferences -> Graphics tab -> make sure your graphics Quality is higher than Low, Advanced Lighting Model should be checked. That’s it. It’s usually on by default, if your graphics quality is Medium to High.
Since the introduction of mesh clothing, I like to stand on my pose stand, change my outfits, and adjust my shape to fit the clothes without going into the editing pose! It’s sooooo useful, I hope this helps you guys too!
Happy Editing!
Summer is just around the corner and you definitely need hats!! The new Stella hair from Exile has a texture-changeable hat (and there's piiiiiiiiink!) that's perfectly girlie and adorable.
TP to Exile hair for Stella and more!
AOHARU has just released these gorgeous Suede Laced Up Sandals and they're super cute, they look like high heels shoes for ballerinas! I could totally dance around in these, the lace legwarmers are a nice touch, you can wear the shoe with or without them.
[ AOHARU Suede Laced Up Sandals in Camel and Pink ]
The shoes are great but you'll need to increase your RenderAvatarLODFactor and
RenderVolumeLODFactor in order to view them at their best when zooming out for full-length photos. To do this, enable the ADVANCE menu buy pressing ctrl+alt+D on your keyboard; then go to the Advanced tab -> Debug Settings, find RenderAvatarLODFactor and
RenderVolumeLODFactor and increase them to 10 (just a guess, it worked for me, the default was 1.0).
What I'm Wearing:
Gala Phoenix – Radiance-Dahlia skin
Exile – Dominique (Harlow) hair
*MM* – Coco Bangle Bracelet
Elate – Silvia (Chocolate) Dress
AOHARU – SuedeLacedupSandal
Tp to Juicy to get the Juicy Magic Mirror!
The Juicy Magic Mirror displays the profile and name of the nearest avatar!
Also includes backdrop with text scripted to gently fade in and out. The text is tintable to any color to suit your decor.
I think, you’re already great when it comes to fashion blogging and you cover the most important already. Also, there are so many fashion blogs that keeps an OK to good standard. I think you’d do something more special now when you ask for it 🙂
I rarely see a good blog with much home and garden and never any with cool tutorials.
So, make it famous for having nice home&garden posts and cool tutorials. 🙂
Now, I voted for ‘all of the above’ – for me that’s a combination of more tutorials & more exploring SL places.
I love the way you cover fashion and when a designer doesn’t perform to standards. I love home and garden as well, though I’m not big on tutorials and exploration, per se. You do what you do well, Gogo, and I’ve liked your mix and format for quite some time.
Your blog is my favorite out of the probably 30 or so SL ones I follow. I like the variety of content and the occasional rant about things .. which often leave me giggling .. I know thats bad to say. But no .. its not broke so don’t try to fix it. Your blog rocks .. keep up the awesome work.
Hey Gogo,
remember me ? I follow your Blog since Jan. 2010, even tho I wasn’t sure of joining Second Life yet. I loved and still love your Blog and it’s my first stop in the morning before I even start working on my Creations. Your Blog was the reason why I started creating skins. I would love to see them on your blog since you display a lot of skins, clothes and other things in such a cute fashion that I can’t wait to see more.
You reviewed my first skins and I’m still grateful about such kindness. this helps me a lot with my new creations and upgrading the older ones. I’m looking forward for a review on my newer products and of many more years of cute and absolute stunning reviews on SL Products.
and by the way, I think you are the most beautiful person on SL, and I do not mean the Image you picture, talking to you and reading your blog shows why your blog is so different. Many other blogger out there, could take you as an example. Please keep up the wonderful work. Thank you.
what i would love to see (in blogs in general) are blogs with integirty , family friendly blogs. so much anger and frustration and hurt feelings are created because of the friction people put into there blogs.
from the really skimpy pictures, to the swearing or belittleing or mistreatment. and then the backlash, the angry readers, the people who feel they are being treated badly, the fantastic artists who are treated like junk. i speak of blogs in general. too many are about how sexy they can be . what ever happend to the artistic hights we could reach posting and showing our highest quality in different ways. sure you can wonder where what i am saying is coming from, oir if it makes any sence and treat it as you will. or maybe you wont, but if i’m being honest, it’s these things which i am really truly looking for in blogs. i want to feel inspiried by others showing greatness. great integrity, no matter what is being done, changing my and others world for the better. i feel like i’m speaking a forgien language to people just bringing this up *sigh*.
if you only knew what effect peoples blogs had on peoples lives. there familys. marrages. the media has this effect in peoples lives too. anyway, those are my thoughts, i’m sure i sound like a strange person to the lot of you, but thanks for listening anyway.
i wish there would be less lelutka (especially skins) and more of all the other skins creators…
