Brrrrrrr! My avatar is getting ready for chilly Autumn weather with cozy cardigans and adorable beanie hats. Tiny Bird has just released two short new hairstyles that includes a color-changing Beanie! I really love the short wavy curls on the Have You Forgotten style, I wish it came without a beanie too *hint hint*!
It took me awhile to come up with my outfit today cos I simply could not pick which color cardigan to wear. The new Reek Papercut Cardigan is unisex, includes collar, collar with hood down or up, and two sleeve options (regular & rolled).
What I’m Wearing:
Tiny Bird – Have You Forgotten (Platinum Blonde)
Laqroki – Nellie 05 (Fair) Glow Skin
Zaara – Mishi Tank (Ivory)
Reek – Papercut Cardigan (Coal)
Decoy – Dana 76 Jeans (Black)
Kookie – Nyox Boots (Noir)
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.
Comments are now fixed! I must have broken something on the site a few days ago, and all the comments disappeared along with the comment form. It should be fixed now, so comment away! 🙂
For a long time, I’ve considered Second Life just a hobby to pay my tier and have spending money. But I’ve had to seriously think if I would consider SL my part time job, since I dedicate some time daily to keeping my SL projects running smoothly.
How much money do YOU personally need to make before you consider it more than just a hobby but your job?
Senra is here! When I showed you the NUX Senra Avatars on me two weeks ago, I did not edit the shape or wore anything in my inventory (because I had none on the beta grid).
Second Life announced the Senra Beta Avatars are now available to everyone via the library and a starter avatar web page with options for new users. After playing around with the shape and trying on two old system skins that I didn’t delete from my inventory, I decided to just wear the included Senra Jamie skin. Don’t even try to retrofit old skins or clothing, it’ll leave you feeling deep sadness.
This Momo hairstyle from Wasabi Pills is adorable! I’m so happy hair designers have released curly hairstyles lately, there aren’t too many of them in mesh yet. I hope WP releases another style with a side part, and not so much hair covering the face, then it’d be perfect to show off new skins or makeups.
I like to browse the Marketplace for new things when I don’t like anything in my inventory. I found this gorgeous short mesh dress from Caverna Obscura by searching “Victorian Mesh Dress” and started browsing the store after I saw another outfit that was cute. There’s a lot of really great fantasy outfits here!! I wore this Sundress without the floral attachments to give it a more casual look. I looooooove it.
Have you ever wanted to reverse the flow of Linden water? How about rotating the water entirely, so that instead of ugly vertical or “sideways” water, you can have nice horizontal waves flowing in and out on your shores. I’ve been playing with this since the summer, and finally, I have something that looks pleasing and it works great with my EEP settings!
Someone told me Reek had a Snuggie. I’m headed over there to get it today, because wearing one of those things while walking around SL would be priceless.
Also! Speaking of hair, I finally found that sideswept style I was looking for! But not before this song got stuck in my head while trying out hairstyles.
