I didn’t forget about Bubblegum Weekends! We have 144 members on the Flickr group, and that’s pretty awesome.
I have been thinking of maybe coming up with some more weekly “theme” things to do, so if there’s anything you’d like to “see more of” in SL, leave me some suggestions!
What I’m Wearing
Truth – Tasmine (Fairyfloss)
Severed Garden – Efia (Vibrant)
Are you a gacha addict? I’m not, I can’t even remember the last time I paid a gacha machine. The Arcade gacha event has a couple of really cute things, but I won’t play it cos I don’t want to start an obsession. Once I have my heart set on a color, I will go bankrupt acquiring it, so yea, I have tried to avoid gachas unless I can buy the color off someone with multiples. My lovely friends sent me the Cherry colored Ariane flats from Ingenue, and the Momogram Marquee Light in “G” from Commoner, both available at The Arcade.
How much do you spend at gacha events? Do you try to collect a whole set or happily settle on having just one or two favorite colors?
What I’m Wearing:
Pink Fuel – Kumi (Peach) Pure (bwnbrow/crease)
Pink Fuel – Kumi (Lt Tone) Matted Lips (Jet Set)
Exile – Turn the Page (Stefani)
Beetlebones – Semi-Sheer Cropped Lace Tank (S) White
Mon Tissu – Hanalei Shorts (S) Pinstripes
Ingenue – Ariane (Cherry)
LaGyo – Crystals thin headbend Gold
Katat0nik‘s newest Ruff Haus dress comes in so many vibrant candy colors and is so adorable! The skirt is a sculpted one-piece attachment, so it’s not very AO or pose friendly (my butt shows through in many of the poses that I’ve tried). I guess it looks great for photos but aghhhhh….. I can’t wait for flexi sculpts and/or mesh!
I’m also wearing the new Kita Mary Jane shoes from Katat0nik, and they come in all colors to match the Ruff Haus dress.
What I’m Wearing:
Pink Fuel – Elly (Honey) Pure/nolash (ltbrow)
Pink Fuel – Elly (Honey) Juicy Gloss (Peach)
Truth – Danni (Champagne)
Kunglers Extra – Anemona (Ivory)
Katat0nik – Ruff Haus (Candy Green)
Katat0nik – Kita Mary Jane (B/W)
A few months ago, I blogged about MidJourney art in Second Life. Second Life designers are now using AI to create more than just pretty pictures for sale. AI can also create seamless textures, help with logo creations, and other graphic design elements. It can be used as a tool to help with the creative process if used wisely.
I’ve been playing around with Stable Diffusion to give my Second Life avatar more realism, but not so realistic that it looks like a morph. I try not to stray too far from the original Second Life image, and that requires trying a lot of different settings. You can view my AI Glow Up album on Flickr for all of the images.

It’s already been a year since Glam Affair collaborated with Not Found to create the Ethereal Essence body skins. I tried wearing it for a while back then, but the shine was a bit too much for me, and I couldn’t get past my initial impressions. I ended up switching to Session Athena body skins, which I still love. That said, I’ve been wanting to go back to Ethereal Essence because the tones match my face skin perfectly without any blending or adjustments. I really wish Session would release something in those tones because they work so well together.
Anyway, onto this new body skin. I say this every time, but did I need another one? No. Did I want one that was actually made to match my face skin perfectly? Yes. I tried on the new Idol body skins from Ethereal Essence and the first thing I noticed was the reduced shine. There’s still some shine around the collarbones and shoulders, but the torso looks so much better now. This body skin also comes with several add on options to adjust or enhance the navel, vagina, cleavage, bone definition, thigh folds, and more. Overall, I’m really happy with both the options and how it looks. I would still add a few of Izzie’s tattoos that I like, such as body veins, foot tendons, and other small details that most people probably will not notice, but I will.
If you’re wearing Glam tones in the 001 to 020 range, definitely check out the new Ethereal Essence body skin because it is a perfect match.
Also don’t miss the Ethereal Beauty Hunt from March 29 to April 12. To celebrate the launch of the Idol body skin line, a few brands are doing free hunts for skins and cosmetics. There is a really nice Glam Affair skin available for free. I’m wearing the lipstick from the Linny gift skin in this post. You can get all 20 tones, you just have to find the gifts hidden around the Glam Affair store.

I've been selling ad space on my website and iheartsl.com for awhile now, and it's proven to be a huge success. However, I realize that many people have a limited advertising budget, and they want to be featured on more than just one popular fashion blog.
I have formed a partnership with AnaLutetia.com by forming the 'Joint Ads Network' which displays ads on both of our websites for a slight discount, rather than buying single site ads. Potential advertisers can get more information and purchase ad campaigns at Ana Lutetia's blog HQ or read about it at the info page here.
We're ready!!
Are you ready to be seen by thousands of Second Life residents daily?
Start today!
*note: There are no changes to the current iheartsl + juicybomb ads packages at this time, if you're still interested in those they're available for purchase.
I stumbled upon the Wretched Hollow sim about a week ago (on KoinUp), when I was searching for a nice in-world location to photograph in. There's a gorgeous shop selling doll clothing & accessories called Wretched Dollies, which I haven't heard of before. I was so delighted to see so many different dresses available and they come in a range of colors & designs.
[ Wretched Dollies – Pistachio Floral Dress ]
[ Wretched Dollies – Rosemary Dress ]
[ Wretched Dollies – Pretty in Plaid Dress ]
And the skin I'm wearing is also from Wretched Dollies, it's very cute!
Tp to Wretched Dollies, be sure to explore the beautiful sim too! 🙂
Gorgeous, as usual. I’ll be taking part of the Bubblegum Weekends, sounds fun.
GoGo I LOVE your posts! They’re so fun and very informative! I would love to swap links with you! http://pearlsandpistols.wordpress.com
is that filter effect done on photoshop or was it taken naturally in second life. it’s really nice.
Awesome stuff here! I’ve been stalking your blog for a while now, and I love your stuff, I use a lot of it for rp, and fantasy things.
Though I was wondering if you might do some punky/grungy stuff? I haven’t seen a whole lot of blogs that cover that sort of style. Or maybe I just suck at finding them. You said a theme so how about Punk Wednesdays. I suck at names. x.x
Keep up the awesome posts!
