Hi SL! You may have heard about a “big launch” on Exodi today, for two brands – Exodi and Woe.
I’m conflicted about featuring WoE items, since I’m actually unwelcomed at this event (see: Banned from Exodi) but I’ll make an exception for Dick. 😛
I’m wearing the Old Flowered Ribbed Tank (in Yellow and Red) and also the Graecyn Short jean Shorts (in Bronze). I gotta say, the Graecyn shorts looks great on my ass, I might wear it often! If you like the dirrrty girl look, with colorful paint splatters and extra worn denim visit Woe!
I’ve been telling my friends that I want to feature less skins and not be known as the “skin blogger” but more like, the everything juicy fashion blogger. I’ve always been a big fan of LeLutka skins but also an equally big fan of the hairstyles, which they don’t release often enough! The two new soon-to-be released hairstyles are called Amanda and Amanda 2, it should be available at LeLutka this weekend *crosses fingers*!
As a Linden Homes addict enthusiast, I always love when a new theme is released! I love exploring new regions and checking out the different home styles. Last year, I was lucky enough to win a charity auction, allowing me to name a Linden Home region and pick the location of my home – an incredible bonus! I’m deeply grateful to Izzy Linden for assisting me with this, and I’d definitely participate in another Linden Homes auction in the future.
The Luna Sashes from Caboodle is available at this month’s We <3 RP event, and it is just fantastic! I knew I wanted to take photos with it as soon as I saw it, since I don’t have anything like it in SL. The sashes come in two different version, one is more modest than the other and wraps all the way around. This is a new to me brand, and from what I can see, the fit and texturing is beautiful. I wish the colors offered on these sashes were softer; especially for the idea I had in mind, any bold bright colors would clash too much with the scenery. The purple is my favorite from the colors offered, but the pink and blue were much too bright.
I’m sharing Sehra’s post on Why Color Trends Matter again. So many brands in SL create beautiful products but the colors are slightly off.
I’m at the gorgeous Arranmore sim today! A sheep is photobombing me.
As you know The Arcade is here again! It was fairly easy to get in, now that there are 3 sims available. I played the Yummy machine cos I just wanted rings, and would have been happy with any one of them. I actually did not get any duplicates (yay!), but stopped when I had a few that I liked.
What I’m Wearing:
Caboodle – Luna Sashes (Purple)
LeLutka – Eleanor Hair
Ingenue – Melisande Heels (Peach)
Yummy – Royal Rings
I’ve been wearing the Lumi skin from Glam Affair since it was released back in March. In real life time, that’s not very long at all. In Second Life time, though, it feels like ages ago. But does time even matter when you like a skin? You could probably wear the same skin for years and never feel dated, especially with the current state of Second Life. Until LeLutka releases the new PURE mesh heads, most of us are still wearing EvoX heads, and skin designers continue to create beautiful 2048 skins with the same level of skill and quality. There is really no rush to change your look unless you want to.
Glam Affair – Alix skin | w/ Tattoo Layers added to soften the pores/freckles
That said, in Gogo time, four months feels like a long time. I spend an embarrassing amount of time staring at my own face, after all. So today, even though it seems like Glam Affair releases dozens of skins every month, I finally found a new face. The new Alix skin from Glam Affair is available at Equal10. I like most Glam Affair skins, but if I’m going to call something my face, it has to feel instantly familiar. It’s that little moment of, “Ah, there you are,” when I put it on. That’s exactly how I felt with Alix, even though I already knew I would be reaching for Izzie’s to remove the freckles and pores. As you can see, I did just that, and I love the result. The original version is beautiful too, and honestly, a lot of skins in Second Life are released looking more like my edited version. People then use Izzie’s or other tattoo layers to add freckles, pores, highlights, and other details back in. I sometimes go in the opposite direction and remove those details instead. The fact that we can customize skins so easily now is one of my favorite things about Second Life.
ISON recently had a 40% off sale, so I picked up something I do not normally wear, a leather outfit. Paired with the new Truth Verse hairstyle, the whole look reminds me of an anime baddie, and I am kind of obsessed with it. Maybe I need to stop wearing pastel pink and white all the time and lean into dark leather. Then again, let’s not get carried away.
Isn’t this new head by LAQ cute? This is the Lulu mesh head, which is great for users who want a more doe-eyed look out of their avatar. If you want to see how Gogo looks with this mesh head, just scroll back one entry or click here.
This head is going to be very kind to hand-drawn skin makers! Lulu is expressive and perfect for painted textures. It’s also wonderful for dollish skins and youthful brands. In fact, this head is so nice that I want to make more skins for it!
A note for skin devs: the creator’s package at LAQ’s store contains a lot of helpful UVs to help you make custom looks for this head, including eyelashes and teeth. There’s also a texture map that shows where the lipstick area begins and ends, so you can simply select the section and texture away.
Hello from Korea City! If you’ve ever wanted to be in Seoul and step into your own picturesque K-drama scenery, check out this destination.
Anthology has just opened for another round! I love this Cheeky Umbrella from Kresendo. The HUD features many colors and patterns to change the umbrella top, handle, and details. You may feel a little blush at some of the default text on the umbrella; it’s filled with sexual innuendos related to rain. There is also the option to turn off the text, but I left it on and tinted the color to a nice shade that I call Second Life blue, which also happens to be my favorite color.
I don’t typically mix and match outfits, but today’s ensemble was a happy accident. I am wearing the Emm Jacket from Red Girl, it’s so well made and comes in a few basic colors. I paired it with the skirt from the Christmas Clothes Set by Art&Ko. To complete the outfit, I am wearing the Jacinta boots from CULT. This whole outfit is super cute for the city look, I’m saving it as a new default Gogo.
This new Pillow hairstyle from Truth is so casual and cute, with a great hairline. I’ve started wearing dark roots with some of my blonde hairstyles, and I think it adds a lot of depth to the hair. As I was photographing today’s look, I realized that Second Life is so beautiful; we’ve come a long way. You don’t need to enhance it with AI at all. My photos authentically represent Second Life with minimal edits. Most of the time, I just adjust the color and crop the photo; I don’t have the patience to spend a lot of time post-processing.
Happy
Sunday Second Life!! Sundays are great, even though every day is like
Sunday for me.. I still feel really happy when it is the SUNDAY!!! Lots of shopping this week to keep your wallet drained and your inventory bloated 🙂
1.
Atomic skin!! A small release of this brand new skin line is at the
Crush Row/Doll City sim, and it's quite lovely. Howeverrrrrrr……
there's a serious lack of choices! I won't pay $7,000L for a fatpack
with just 3 makeups and different variations of black eyeliner (light,
dark, darker?) and only one lipstick choice. That's not a fatpack…
hmm?
So I treated myself to a single makeup! This is the [ATOMIC] FSkin_Stardust_1C_Light. Pretty!
I looooove this 'SpringBreeze' hair from JUNWAVE, and it's only $80L per hair there. Gooo…run… go…
What I'm Wearing:
JUNEWAVE – SpringBreeze (Gold)
ATOMIC – FSkin 1C_Light
MALT – ROXY Outfit (Fresh White)
Fleur – Pink Sash Belt
SLink – Glamour Platforms with Sculpted Feet (Verde)
*MM* Coco Bangle Bracelet
MS… Free hairband *update* Here's the landmark to get the free hairband
IcOn – MN Bag set (SNK pink)clutch
Those hairs are immense. I haven’t been too fond of recent Lelutka hair releases, but these are beautiful. You look adorable and hot at the same time.
I actually love coming here to read skin reviews, because you’re always honest. I might not always be bothered about certain flaws you point out, but at least I have the option of being bothered, if that makes sense. I don’t look that closely at skins, particularly when demoing, so it’s nice to have you do that for me. Oh wow, I’m lazy. 😀 Really though, I think you have a good sort of ratio. I’ve never thought of you as strictly a ‘skin blogger’ but it is one of the major reasons I come here. To see the pretty.
Keep up the good work anyhow.
I love you as a skin blogger. Too many others squee over skins that look terrible on them from designers who will be gone soon, and don’t take the time to compare skin generations or other variables. Don’t knock what you’re awesome at!
Actually – out of respect for Dick’s brand and his joining my sim – I cleared the ban list. I do not intend to deny him traffic, publicity or relationships based on my own passed conflicts. So if you’d like to come, you are more than welcome.
I’m quite a fan of LeLutka. I recently bought the Lola skin simply because I couldn’t find a superior Viewer 2.0 lipgloss/stick (not anywhere!). The hair I’ve always been quite fond of (particularly Pompai), even if some of the newer releases look like they’ve been doused in hairspray — the look still works, and the shades and tones never fail to impress.
In all sincerity, I’ve never come across a blogger who’s willing to take a skin and rip it apart professionally, as Gogo does. Most just take the snap, list what they’re wearing and go about their slife. This is probably why Gogo is known as the ‘skin blogger’ since she’s one of the rare people who will pay attention to those details and make it public.
So, consider this a ‘thank you’ for your honesty. You’ve probably saved a lot of people a lot of lindens!
I just bought the Graecyn Jeans from Woe and i have to say i hate them. From the display you cant tell they are low rise and they are MUCH lower than any other low rise jeans i have, so if you like half your ass hanging out then i guess they are nice, detailing and pattern are good, but the cut just doesnt cover enough.
Hi, I found your blog a month ago and since then make a point of checking it everyday, I learned more about silly things in sl true here then in a year in sl. What seems silly ,but i just never stopped to think about it before. Your blog made me look at sl fashion in a different way. Now I try to play with layers and make outfits like i would in rl not just short sexy skirts. I’m starting my own blog , but is directed to ppl like me, that are not experts in editing , just showing ppl ,if they are interested, in clothes that fit well or are easy to edit. Thank you for all the information you provide and just keep writting , you are providing a great service for ppl like me for sure .Congratulations on your blog is great:)
Sorry for the bad english:( is not my first language.
Tasha.

Cute outfit and you are the better person for taking the high road and keeping it all about the fashion =)
