Baby, it’s cold outside!
Cold weather is upon us and even though our avatars can’t really feel the brisk cold air, I still think it’s very cute to dress up in coats, boots and scarves!! The latest release from LeLutka is the Trisha coat and it comes in dark rich colors, perfect for pairing with Winter accessories.
LeLutka – Trisha Coat (Deep Violet, Deep Maroon, Black, Midnight Blue)
This coat includes the AO version with several standing poses, a sit, walk, fly, hover, etc.
If you are familiar with LeLutka clothing, you’ll know that it’s made for rather thin avatars. I had to modify my shape a bit to reduce thickness and gave my av smaller boobs to fit this coat properly. I could have stretched the prims but I’m kind of lazy when it comes to this stuff, so shrinking my av was the best solution — all the coats will fit, without having to mod dozens of prims.

Bakes On Mesh
Didn’t I warn that Bakes On Mesh was coming? I did. I said this was going to force mesh head makers to revert their UV maps back to standard SLUV, too, because everyone is going to start using standard skins more and more now. If you are a mesh head developer and your heads don’t adhere to standard SLUV, get on it. You will lose money eventually because customers are going to want to wear whatever skin they want with whatever head they buy.
So, what the hell is Bakes On Mesh?
Bakes on Mesh (yes, plural, according to this SL wiki page) is a new feature in Second Life that automatically “bakes” your standard skins and tattoo layers to your mesh bodies and heads. Whenever you switch skins or wear different layers of tattoos on your body, your mesh will automatically update your look without you having to do anything.
Over time, there will be less and less dependency on applier routers like Omega, because now Second Life’s system is the applier. However, you’ll want to check with your mesh body maker to be sure their body is BoM ready. If it isn’t, they should be updating soon.
Only certain SL clients can render Bakes On Mesh, too. If you want to be absolutely sure you can see the new feature, head over here to download the official Second Life client.
Read More “Bakes On Mesh” Who Really Benefits from Premium Plus Without Stipends? Creators.
Photo taken at the Linden Casino! Second Life is rolling out a new cheaper Premium Plus plan this October, but it doesn’t include the weekly Linden stipend. On paper, it works out to about the same cost as the old plan with the stipend, but the benefit really depends on who you are in-world.
If you’re a resident who shops, rents land, or just enjoys having a little spending money, the stipend is basically free Lindens in your pocket. It’s what makes Premium feel cheaper, because those few hundred Lindens a week can either go straight into your shopping budget or help offset the cost of Premium. Without that stipend, the discount doesn’t really give you more value. You just lose the free money.
Where the new plan makes sense is for creators and anyone earning Lindens in-world. If you already have a steady flow of income, you probably don’t care about a stipend trickling in every week. In fact, this option benefits you more because it means fewer Lindens are being pumped into the economy. Less supply keeps Lindens stronger, and that helps creators when they cash out their earnings.
There’s also a smaller win here for people who love playing Game of Homes (GoH) and having multiple homes. Premium Plus gives you access to the 2048 Linden Homes, and this new no-stipend version brings the cost down by about $100 a year. So if you’re mainly in it for the house and don’t care about stipends, this plan lets you hold onto a home for a little less.
It’s also worth pointing out that with the real-life economy struggling, Second Life is clearly planning ahead. They’re looking for ways to improve their own virtual economy while keeping Linden dollar stable. A stronger, steadier Linden dollar benefits creators the most, especially those who rely on cashing out.
But I also wish Second Life would consider the residents who aren’t earning any Lindens at all. For a lot of people, the weekly stipend is more valuable than free uploads or other perks. I have Premium Plus and almost never upload anything. This is where the new plan could backfire. Without a stipend, people may become more budget conscious. They may start to notice just how expensive it is to buy Lindens with real money, once you factor in the fees and the not so great exchange rate. Reminding people that in-game currency equals real money is not the kind of wake-up call Second Life should want to encourage.
If Second Life wants to cater to all residents, they would allow us to customize our Premium plan. Imagine being able to pick from a list, no uploads, no stipend, no extra groups, etc., and adjust your subscription price based on what you actually use. That kind of flexibility would make Premium feel more tailored and valuable to everyone, not just creators.
At the end of the day, this plan isn’t really for shoppers or casual users. It’s for creators who earn their Lindens, or for GoH fans who just want the cheapest way to hold a house for less money. Everyone else will find the stipend plan still gives the better deal.
Still, having options is always a good thing. Soon, residents will be able to choose what works best for them, whether that’s weekly pocket money or a lower upfront cost with no stipends attached.

Project: Boy av
Recently a new male skin store launched, and I’m totally smitten with the skins even though I can’t wear it on my female shape! I made a brand new boy shape to try it out and I really like it!
The skin I am wearing is from Sacred, and it is a free gift. All you have to do is click on one of the yellow bin things and answer a question, and it’s yours 🙂
I’m test-driving this for awhile to see if I like it enough to purchase it for my boy av. I’m pretty excited about this, since the last skin I purchased was a male Redgrave one.
Making a boy is A LOT harder than it looooooks! Big props to all the nice looking male avatars out there. I am so used to adjusting my sliders for Gogo, that any av I make, male or female, tends to look like just another version of me. Wups.
Thank you to my friends for all the tips though, hopefully my boy av will start shaping up nicely and not look like Gogo’s brother, lmao. For now, I am raiding my own closet until I purchase real boy clothes!

*note: The free skin has a band-aid, the skins that are for sale do not.
