Please don’t judge me, but I’ve created a look that I think is classy enough to attend William and Kate’s wedding. Although we don’t have royals here in America (just boring ol’ Presidents), I think people are generally fascinated with royalty.
Will you be watching the Royal Wedding live tomorrow? Do you even care?
I am wearing the Pasqualina jewelry set from Donna Flora, and pairing it with the Jasmin Babydoll Dress from Cynful. The glitch pants for this dress is NO MOD, which is terrible in my opinion. I’ve decided not to wear it, as it is longer than the skirt and looks awful peeking out below. I wore underwear though, so I don’t accidentally flash anyone when I’m running around SL.
Note to designers, please make your glitch pants MOD, thank you.
Even though many brands in Second Life create amazing products, the way they treat customers can leave a sour taste in your mouth. When that happens, it makes you think twice about spending money with them again.
I’ve encountered more than a few brands I’ve supported that ignore simple customer service issues, like refunding a double purchase or answering a basic question. I’m sure most of us have experienced being completely ignored by a store owner or customer service rep. Some people know how to create great things in Second Life, but they never learn how to build loyalty.
On the other hand, the brands that go out of their way to be kind and helpful earn my support for years.
One example is Everfaery. Every time I’ve had a question or needed help, they’ve responded in a way that was even nicer than expected. Honestly, the fact that they respond at all already puts them ahead of many brands. Recently, I asked a question on Flickr and got a quick reply. That reminded me they also give L$50 monthly store credit to group members. On top of that, creator Fever Fae is incredibly talented, making clothing, hair, shoes, décor, and more. She has range, and she’s had staying power in SL for years.
Another brand that consistently treats customers well is Izzie’s. I’ve said it before, but it’s true. A few days ago, I saw their Nail Beds set and thought, “I didn’t even know I needed that.” Now I can’t imagine not having it. It adds another layer of realism, and I appreciate creators who think of those details. Plus, Izzie Button has always come across as genuinely kind.
Then there’s Truth. Creator Truth Hawks regularly gives gifts to the VIP group and runs solid sales throughout the year. I’ve also been a Truth hair blogger for years, and their relationship with bloggers has always seemed professional and respectful. That kind of relationship-building is one reason some brands last so long in Second Life.
My list of brands doing it right is actually pretty long. There are many wonderful creators in SL. But when a brand ghosts me after I’ve supported them, I remember it. I’m too classy to name names, but you know the type. We’ve all encountered them.
There’s one brand where I used to buy every fatpack. Now? Maybe I’ll grab a single item during a weekend sale and spend the equivalent of a real-life quarter. Why reward bad customer service with full-price loyalty?
At the end of the day, customer service matters. Talent may get people through the door, but kindness and reliability keep them coming back.
If there are any brands you love that treat customers right, let me know in the comments!

I’m feeling super Spring-y today, so I put on my floral Giordana necklace from Donna Flora, and a Minty green colored Clark top from ColdLogic. Truth also released this adorable new India hairstyle, with a hair flower (with color-changing petals) attached.
What I’m Wearing:
Truth – India (Treacle)
ColdLogic – Clark Top (Mint)
Mon TIssu – Denim Lou Lou (Light)
Ingenue – Gatsby Heels (Citrine)
Donna Flora – GIORDANA necklace
Gala Phoenix has just released the Beach 2 skins with 12 new makeups for you to indulge in!! I'm so completely happy with this new set, it's so vibrant, rich and just beautiful. Beach skins lovers will really love these!
I'm wearing the GP: Petal [Dark] set below:
Each skin comes in Light and Dark version, and 2 similar makeups.
Without sounding too mean, god no i can’t stand it and cannot wait until it’s just over and done with. I’m happy they are in love and getting married don’t get me wrong but do they really need too take over every channel in the UK too show the wedding, i mean really is one channel just not enough *sighs and shakes her head*
I’m definitely going to watch, and I was thinking earlier of putting a look together that I’d want to wear to the wedding! 🙂
You look gorgeous and so classy, Gogo!
I’ll be watching the livestream @ /TheRoyalChannel on Youtube. As of now, a little less than 13 hours!
“I’ve created a look that I think is classy enough to attend William and Kate’s wedding.” – it’s a classy, regal look but you wouldn’t be able to attend…women can’t wear sleeveless dresses XD
I’ll be watching with my 5 year old daughter and 2 of her little friends. We’re having a princess slumber party as the wedding will be on after dinner time in Australia 🙂
Oh my, white, bare shoulders and no hat! Wedding faux pas! But on the other hand, you look lovely in the outfit, hiar is perfect. I won’t be watching. I got caught up in the Lady Di wedding (and beyond) and was too distressing to watch it enfold over the years. I am sure the royal couple can do without one more gawker.
The beginning til the end i didnt leave my seat! never ever lol!!
The coverage by BBC was awesome!!
She was so lovely in her simple yet elegant gown!!
Will was always smiling!!
Harry looked like his suit was too heavy
and the Queen had a custard cake like hat hahahah
Gogo! u cant wear white for kate’s wedding! its her day her colour haha!!:)
You look lovely 🙂
Erm i wont watch,i dont really care anyway:)
I will be glued to the TV tomorrow!! Can’t wait to see what Kate will be wearing xx

You wouldn’t be allowed in… you’re not wearing a hat… and everyone knows that’s proper etiquette !

omg you guys, that makes me so sad!
I will get a hat, and long sleeves asap! 😀
lol, make sure your hat it outrageously awkward but doesn’t outshine the Queen.
I’m watching! I feel Prince William and his brother have been through a lot and it’s nice to see him getting married now.
What? Prince William is getting married?
/ a girl who doesn’t care
(on another note, this hair is fantastic, Gogo!)

Well that’s a very good reason to watch the royal wedding! /cute
