Couture of Hope organized by AVENUE starts today! One item from each participating designer will have 100% proceeds donated to Relay For Life. Visit Couture of Hope on May 1st (opens 12pm SLT) through May 31st!
I am wearing the Seasons of Hope outfit from SoliDea FoliEs. Normally I am not a fan of no-mod items and full-bright prims, but this outfit does have resize scripts. I think that the “bright” works for this particular item, but I wish designers would not do this!!! It would have been nice to be able to turn it off, or adjust the head dress prims on my own. I had a hard time finding hair that’s flat towards the front, so that the swirly vine thing would show.
If you were hesitant to try the Aperture Viewer (by William Weaver) because it wasn’t listed in the official Third Party Viewer Directory, good news: it is now. Unless stated otherwise, most of my photos going forward will be taken using this viewer, mostly because it’s what I’m learning right now. I used the official Second Life Viewer up until 2020, when I finally decided to dip my toes into third party viewers. Since then, I’ve tried Black Dragon, Firestorm, Alchemy, and beta versions of these viewers. I’m comfortable with all of them, but I’m also a sucker for shiny new sliders. I like when a viewer can push the limits of what’s possible in Second Life without needing external photo editing apps.
That said, it really doesn’t matter what viewer you use to take photos in Second Life. At the end of the day, it’s the artist, not the tool. And honestly, I don’t even consider myself an art photographer. I’m just a fashion blogger. I shoot fast and move on.
For this look, I used the built-in poser to part my lips and add a side glance. You can always use a face poser HUD, but if you don’t have one, the built-in poser actually gives you super fine control. You can tweak all the sliders to get as expressive as you want. Yes, it’s a little time-consuming, but those small details can really bring your photos to life.
Also, Anthology is open. And for the first time ever, I made an alpha in Second Life. It was messy, but I did it in under 30 minutes, and I’m totally inexperienced. I’m wearing the Nida Sweater from Havoc. It’s made for Maitreya, but I wanted to wear it with the Maitreya LaraX body, so I had to make an alpha to cut out bits of the breasts and back. I love this top too much to switch back to regular Maitreya, so I went the hard route. If you want the alpha, just message me in SL.
And finally, can we talk about this Derpy Doge Plush from Sakura? I love holdables in Second Life, and this one is just too cute. The little tongue sticking out reminds me of my real life derpy dog. Instant favorite.
T Junction has just released the ‘Days of the Week’ panty set. This is adorable and very comfy looking! I think the sayings are flirty & fun. This is a great way to keep track of the different days of the week!

Wednesday – Whip Me
Thursday – Tickle My Fancy
Friday – Feel Me Up
Saturday – Strip Tease
Sunday – Slow & Comfortable Sunday
These three new styles from Truth includes streaked versions, which seems to be something Truth is doing for more hairstyles (or most of them?). I don’t wear streaked colors often, but I like the option and I think others do too!
I think Estelle is just sooooo sexy I don’t want to take it off!

Let’s make this short and sweet. I found the best doll shop ever.. it’s called the LittleGirl Shop! located at Korea Land. It’s amazing, all the dolls there are TRANSFER and super cute. I think they would make great gifts for friends, especially friends that likes dolls and cutesy things.
I picked up this outfit called the LittleGirl Oriental Design Dress 002 in wood texture. I loooove the style, and the cute little leg belt with paint brushes attached. What I do mind, is the bling that just won’t turn off on the arm belts & leg belt, but I’ll deal since the outfit is so cute. Since I always forget to write what hair I’m wearing, this is the ETD – Deanna.

Finally something to match my MaryGeo pumps in brown/tan from Shiny Things! <33
And saving the best for last….
My new LittleGirl Pet Doll (Rabbit)
Isn’t she darling? She attaches to the head, and her arm waves!!!
At the LittleGirl Shop!, there are even more cute little dolls. My friend Di bought one for every attachment point on her body 😛
this is kinda random but with those SLink feet, i’ve tried and i think im missing that part of my brain to match skin colours (lol), would you be able to help me (like give me the RGB) to match the feet to a Tuli sunkissed skin? i sent a notecard to the designer but no reply.
