Two days ago, I opened this email newsletter from Second Life and saw Iris Ophelia wearing cheLLe bunny ears for the Look of the Month feature! THANK YOU IRIS!
I made a new Eating Peepsy (mouth attachment) pack to go with the Bunny Ears, if you’re looking for a cute accessory for your Easter look 😀
Purchase both packs online @ the Marketplace (links above) or in-world at cheLLe main store.
I’ve been fashionably late to the Bridgerton viewing party. Typically, my taste in historical dramas veers towards the darker, more intense ones, like The Tudors, where beheadings are surprisingly frequent. However, at the insistence of my friend Sparkle, I gave Bridgerton a try, and found myself falling in love with the scenes and fashion. It’s a delightful swirl of pastel dreams and romance.
Currently, I’m embracing my inner Miss Bridgerton in Second Life, fantasizing about a chance encounter with Duke Hastings. Sporting the Breeze hairstyle from Truth, straight from Hair Fair, and adorned with the charming Kaori Mini Hat by Sparkle Skye, also a Hair Fair gem, I’m fully immersed in this whimsical world. Bridgerton-inspired gowns have been my go-to this month, particularly the Jane Regency Gown from Just Because, allowing me to live out this Regency fantasy to the fullest.
Curio released two skins this weekend, and that was so unexpected and exciting. I’ve been anticipating a new Curio release for quite some time, so I was beyond happy that there’s two new faces to choose from.
The first one is Autumn, which features a classic Curio look that we’ve all come to love. I really like this face and especially the lips. Some changes that you’ll notice with this new release is that there are now two brows options (Blonde and Brown), and only 8 makeups (not 16 like before).
Curio – Autumn
Curio – Autumn Brows
This is the Yum face, which I think of as the “new” face cos it has a different face shading, a totally new nose and a different set of eyebrows. I’m not sure I am a fan of the dark nostrils (I’m picky like that!) and I think the nose looks wiiide on my avatar, so I decreased the width a lot to compensate. However, from what I’ve read on Plurk, people seem to really like this nose, dark nostrils and all, so I may be alone in this opinion, booo.
I do think this skin may work better on darker tones (Sundust and beyond), so give it a try! These lips are flawless and to die for!
Curio – Yum
Curio – Yum Brows
I’m curious to know what people think about the new changes to the fatpacks (two brows vs two different makeups). Do you guys like the changes? Do you like the new nose?

Action hair has been around for years, but I didn’t own any hairstyles from there. Yesterday, I saw a picture of the latest hair release, and thought it looked pretty good! I also checked out the Marketplace store, and noticed that Action hair has a few new mesh hairstyles. I bought the Jennifer hairstyle in the Veganic pack, even though I don’t need all of the colors, it was just $377L for the pack of 24 colors. I also picked up this cute Studded Kitty Headband, it fits perfectly with this hair.
I’m so happy when designers create add-on products other brands. The new Belgravia Patent 120 Pumps is an add-on shoe for SLink’s mesh feet. The spikes and textures are gorgeous on these, and this particular Fuchsia/Gold color matches my headband perfectly.
What I’m Wearing:
Pink Fuel – Harley (Peach) Arcade 05 coming soon
Action – Jennifer (Veganic) Hair
Action – Studded Kitty Headband
Mon Tissu – Daydream Dress (S) Blue
Belgravia – Patent 120 Spikes (Fuschia/Gold)
SLink – Mesh Hands (av)
The Avatar Welcome Pack is now available in the library and is free for all residents. To use it, copy the entire pack from the library into your inventory. I decided to challenge myself by dressing from head to toe in free items. Additionally, SeraPlus, the newly released gift pack from Seraphim, is also available. However, this gift pack is for paid residents only, meaning you need to be a Plus, Premium, or Premium Plus member to access it. I chose to mix and match items from both of these packs to create my version of Gogo Lite. Given the limitations of this mesh head and body, I think I did fairly well.
Almost immediately, I noticed that because I was using the lite Avalon head, I lack a HUD to control various features – can’t change lashes, expressions, HD makeups, etc. Furthermore, some of the shape sliders for facial adjustments are disabled. While I could edit about 90% of the features, one slider I really wanted to use, the chin depth slider, was unfortunately unavailable.
UPDATE: You can edit the chin slider and all of the sliders if you wear ANY BODY that is not Legacy Lite. I was able to edit the Avalon Lite head when I’m wearing the Maitreya LaraX body.
This is my first time wearing Legacy, so I can’t provide an informed opinion about it. Since it was free, I took the opportunity. However, I spent quite some time searching for a long sleeve alpha to cover my elbows, which were poking through the top; this was not included in Riot’s package. I assume the SeraPlus gift is aimed at residents with the full Legacy body, but if you search for it, you can likely find a free alpha to hide the arms. I also added a random shorts alpha to maintain modesty, as there were instances where private areas peeked through in various poses.
As for the Avatar Welcome Pack, while they stated that HUDs were omitted to simplify things for new residents, I believe HUDs are crucial for learning. It would have been beneficial to include at least some HUDs or controls. Though I find the free body and head adequate, the inability to hide certain body parts is a significant limitation. To top it off, I noticed I don’t have any fingernails, and the nails on the body skin I’m wearing is a hot mess on the Legacy lite body.
Overall, whether you’re a new resident or an experienced player looking spruce up your avatar, the Avatar Welcome Pack provides lots of items to get you started. If you prefer not to spend any money at all, I recommend checking out FabFree for all the latest freebie offerings.
G-Field released the Long Cuff Boots in 10 more colors so I picked up the fatpack and put together an outfit that doesn’t quite match the boots but I like it. While I was at G-Field, I noticed that the Peach colored boots from FFL was still up for sale, so if you didn’t get it then… you can get it now.
I’m @ monso main store for these pics. If you haven’t been to this store, definitely visit, cos the decor is great.
What I’m Wearing:
cheLLe – (lipstain) Moscato Kisses
Truth – Kalle (Champagne)
monso – My Yagu Jacket (White)
Tres Blah – Frou Frou Skirt (White)
G-FIeld – Long Cuff Boots “Will” (Mesh)
Happy Friday, everyone in Second Life! I’m excited about this new set of poses I found. The Erin pose & anim pack from Goyo comes with cute headphones, perfect for enjoying music or snapping fun photos. What I appreciate most is that each pose has an animation, plus a flipped version. However, I did notice my fingers were not positioned perfectly in some poses, which made me tweak them using the poser in the Black Dragon viewer. It’s not my usual viewer, but it’s pretty useful for these adjustments.
Ever put on a skin and felt like it could use a bit more shine? I found this Highlighter set by Izzie’s that offers lots of options to add a nice glow to your skin. The skin that I’m wearing, Emery from Glam Affair, already looked good, but I couldn’t resist adding a bit more highlight to areas like the eyes, forehead, and the area just above the lip.
