Elikatira released the new Me hairstyle, and it’s simply adorable! I love the name, it’s very appropriately named. I think everyone who sees this hair will go, omg that’s so meeeeeeeeeee!
This pretty new Sunday Morning Tee from Ingenue is so casual and cozy and pairs perfectly with the Balcon Lounge Pants from mon tissu. I am loving my outfit today, it’s very casual and easy on the eyes.
The new Winter Collection from Belgravia, by Jin Elfan of Leverocci, is so luxurious and gorgeous! I’m so impressed by how this brand has progressed in just one year’s time. My first post about Leverocci was over a year ago, when it was still a small shop on a mainland parcel. Now the brand is on its own sim, and has a lil’ bit of everything.
My outfit today is inspired by Winter. I am wearing the Belgravia Suede VCoat in Snow, and pairing it with Foxglove Boots also in Snow. I wanted a bit of contrast to the outfit, so I layered some Gray clothing items underneath, and added a festive Bizarre flower headpiece from LaGyo to give it some color punch.
Prelude has just released this sweet Garden Party dress. The dress has great textures and perfect seams, I'm really impressed that even the sculpted skirt lines up very well has a seamless transition from the texture bodice to the sculpted prim skirt. All attachments are no mod but includes a resizeable script.
This is the Prelude Breeze dress (in Mint), this dress comes in a bunch of light and beautiful colors. I chose Mint to because I love this shade of Blue, it goes well with the name.

A touch of lace added to clothing makes it so much more feminine and interesting. The Emma top and shorts from The Secret Store has just the right amount of lace and a vibrant grapefruit pattern. I’m not taking this outfit off for a week! Visit my Flickr for an up-close look of the pattern and see full-sized images of my bedroom!
I have mentioned this before, but most furniture in SL have built-in poses that are too awkward for nice photos. Which is why I went to the marketplace and bought a pretty sitting pose for today’s photo, instead of using one of the built-in ones that comes with this bed. The pose is from a store called Secret Body; the creator is a fellow blogger that I’ve followed for a long time on Flickr. I love when bloggers create things, such as poses, cos we’re pretty much experts when it comes to hiding bad angles and posing pretty.
What I’m Wearing:
Truth Hair – May (and crown)
The Secret Store – Emma Top, Shorts (Grapefruit)
Ingenue – Maisie Sandals (Ivory)
I’ve been seeing quite a bit of buzz lately around PrimFeed, which is touted as a Flickr alternative specifically for Second Life residents, created by a fellow resident. Interestingly, PrimFeed isn’t the only social media site exclusively for Second Life, despite such claims. Personally, I don’t use any of these Second Life-specific platforms because I prefer to share my Second Life photos and blog with the entire internet.
Why Some Second Life Residents are Upset with Flickr
The primary reasons that some residents are frustrated with Flickr often boil down to two things:
They aren’t PRO users and face limitations.
Frequent Terms of Service (TOS) violations, such as posting adult content and not properly moderating it, or engaging in commercial activities on a free account results the account being deleted.
Flickr offers a free option that lets users host up to 1,000 photos, provided they adhere to specific restrictions. On the other hand, PrimFeed permits adult and commercial content on free accounts but limits file sizes to 1500×1500 pixels. I believe free account limitations are justified due to the operational costs of such platforms, and I’m willing to pay for a service as long as it meets my needs.
My Take on Flickr vs. PrimFeed
I’m not dissatisfied with Flickr nor am I seeking an alternative. Since signing up as a PRO member in 2007, I’ve found Flickr to be the best photo hosting service for Second Life brands and bloggers. For under $60 USD a year, I enjoy unlimited photo and video storage and the ability to embed these media into my blog seamlessly.
First Impressions of PrimFeed
PrimFeed strikes me more as a social media platform, akin to a streamlined version of X (formerly Twitter), rather than a robust image hosting site like Flickr. It offers social features but lacks the comprehensive photo hosting capabilities that Flickr provides.
In my opinion, PrimFeed is not a replacement for Flickr. It’s more of a pared-down social media platform that may or may not gain traction. Without enough paying subscribers, its sustainability is questionable due to the costs associated with hosting and bandwidth.
Here are the essential features missing from PrimFeed:
No viewing without a PrimFeed account and are signed in
No high quality image format, everything is converted/compressed to .webp
No favorites tab, makes it hard to revisit images I liked
No search, can’t find anything I’m looking for
No direct messaging/private messaging
No views count
No dates on gallery images
No groups
No albums
No tagging other people
No tags
No sharing outside of PrimFeed
No private photo settings
No embed code for your blog
No clickable profile links
No videos
No notifications to email
No custom URL/ability to change url
No stats who liked/shared/viewed?
No editing tools/batch editing for photos
No automatic account deletion (must send a notecard and wait 72 hours)
Is PrimFeed a reasonable replacement for Twitter? Absolutely. It’s designed to look and feel just like Twitter, ensuring you’ll feel right at home. Plus, you won’t have to deal with annoying real-life ads and irrelevant content cluttering your feed. When you evaluate PrimFeed as an alternative to Twitter, you’ll find it much more appealing.

Hi everyone! It is December 23rd, so I have just a few days left to enjoy my Winter & Christmas decors! I am showing you guys a couple of my favorite new things from What Next. If you’re into a more modern look (Silver & Blue colors) – the Winter version of What Next’s Living Room and Dining Room set is fantastic.

Love Love this outfit, Gogo!
I love how you go from haute couture in one post, to uber-casual in the other!
My favourite ‘look’ is the kind of clothing my character/av could lounge around eating chocolate icecream and watching light romcoms in.
like this outfit.
When everyone dresses ‘up’ so much in SL, its such a relief to dress ‘down’!
Elikatira makes a good hairline with those feather-like small hairstrands. No need for hairbases there. Her freebie with the ponytail and knot isn’t coming off my head… I just love it.
So, you had any luck in your search for light blond hairbases?
