LeLutka has just released a new skin! Again! While I didn’t like Flutter as much as LeLutka’s previous skins, I really really love Hadley. It’s very much how I like “Gogo” to look, and that is with full pouty lips, a youthful face, and a flawless skin complexion.
Hadley comes in 10 makeups, Light and Dark brows, Breast Enhancer on tattoo layer, 2 Hair Base (Sookie & Walnut color), and nail cover tattoo (to work with prim nails).
LeLutka – Hadley (in Alba skin tone) with Light Brows
LeLutka – Hadley Light | Dark Brows

Check out this sexy new Bandana top from elly! I love that there’s a sculpted attachment to enhance the realism, and not just a plain texture top.
What I’m Wearing:
Truth – Clementine (Beach)
elly – Bandana Top (Navy)
Mon Tissu – Lou Lou Denim (Dark)
Here are the Pin up skins from Gala Phoenix. The brows are darker and bolder than what I normally wear, but they're a striking contrast on pale skins. Here I am wearing the 'Moonbeam' skin tone, and trying to dress my avatar up like Dita Von Teese. If you're into the pin-up girl look, you will love these brows and the variety of makeups available.
This “currently crashing out” print on the Honey Cropped Tank from The Kiwi Co. feels a little too relatable right now, because mainland has been testing me lately.
When I first went Premium back in 2019 to get a Linden Home, it was also the first time I could finally own mainland. I eventually bought a snowy parcel that I absolutely loved and kept it from 2022 onward. It was extremely landlocked and surrounded on three sides by massive ugly ice walls from neighboring parcels, but somehow I still made it work because I liked the region.
Recently, several abandoned coastal parcels nearby became available after a former neighbor left. I submitted support tickets hoping to expand naturally into the coastline, but instead the parcels were sent individually to auction. I managed to buy some of them, but after getting outbid on the final piece, I realized I was done fighting with the region. The walls finally won.
I still wanted snow land though, so I moved a couple regions over and spent a pretty significant amount acquiring new coastal land through auctions and direct purchase from a land baron. In total, it probably cost around $500 USD worth of Lindens, but I was excited to finally own a beautiful coastal snow parcel.
Then I discovered a 32m micro parcel sitting directly in the middle of my new land.
The owner had no other land in the region and was asking L$32,000 for it.
That isn’t normal land use. It’s extortion.
I submitted another support ticket hoping Linden Lab would step in, especially since Second Life already has a policy against land cutting practices. Unfortunately, my request was denied, and no discretion was used to resolve what is very obviously a bad-faith micro parcel situation. That part is what disappoints me the most.
As someone still relatively new to mainland ownership, I’m starting to understand why so many residents say mainland can be incredibly frustrating. One bad neighbor or one strategically placed micro parcel can completely ruin an otherwise beautiful area.
And if anyone is wondering how my planned move from Gaeta 1 to New Zindra is going, it isn’t. I bought Gaeta 1 land back on April 15, but after realizing I’d likely be at the very end of the migration queue, I decided to put everything up for sale instead. At this point, I’d rather just settle into my snow land and enjoy it in peace.

Le’s talk about the MESH BODY. I wasn’t really interested in a full mesh body, cos I felt that my default SL body was still nice, especially when updated with the SLink hands and feet. I didn’t have a need for a nice booty, boobs, private parts, ears, mouth, etc! I like some upgrades, but could live without most. I waited for a long time until two things happened before I tried on a mesh body – 1) SLink released one, this is a brand that I could trust to continually upgrade, provide customer service, and offers kits for designers to create appliers and 2) Pink Fuel made an applier for the Physique body.
Here is a quick video to show you guys how the SLink Physique mesh body works. It’s brief, but you’ll get to see the sliders changing the different body parts. Any slider that you can adjust for the default SL body (except for head/face) will also adjust the mesh body. I think this all-in-one (hands and feet sold separately) option will reduce the need to have add-on booty or boobs attachment.
At first glance, you may not even notice such a huge difference, but the differences are there! For starters, the body parts resizes well, no more angles and squares! Smoother lines! Even as someone who almost never takes her clothes off, I will definitely appreciate not having to liquidfy the shoulder and neck area to eliminate some of the awkward lines before.
Have you tried the mesh body? Do you like it? Will you wear it all the time?
Poses are often overlooked in my credits, but I need them to show off the things I feature here properly. Even though I have thousands of poses, I only have about 300 that I use in my daily pose stand for blogging. I’m always looking for new poses that I can add to my stand, cos I have a tendency to use the same ones over and over.
I really like these poses from Everglow, they’re great for blogging, and they’re not boring. The stands from Everglow have so much attitude, and most importantly, they fit ME. I’m guesing the creator must be similar to my size, cos the hands are perfectly placed on my hips, no missing fingers here!

I haven’t taken the Ember skin from Pink Fuel off since blogging it yesterday. I love how an old skin can be transformed into something “new” just by adding some extra blush and new lipstick tattoo (with teeth). I still can’t believe this skin has been marked down to $100L, it’s easily the nicest cheap skin on the grid.
Malt is releasing this sexy 60’s inspired Vintage Cotton Tunic at Vintage Fair. I love the girlish style, very short and wearable. Pearl jewelry is classic, so I added the Simple Pearl Necklace & Earrings set from Caroline’s to dress up the cleavage area.
I blogged about D!va hair a few months ago, and I think I forgot that the hairstyles there are ‘script mod only,’ which is totally frustrating. I have since deleted all those hairstyles but when I went back this morning, I picked up a cute new hairstyle and instantly remembered why I deleted those hairstyles in the first place! It was a challenge to get this hairstyle to fit me, cos some strands just went into my face/head and couldn’t be moved individually. The script mod is terrible, it didn’t even have ‘move’ feature included! It still doesn’t fit quite right in my picture, but oh well. The hair is cute enough, and pairs perfectly with the new Vintage Headband (in Silver) from LaGyo, also found at Vintage Fair.
Come check out Malt @ Vintage Fair you guyssssssss! Opens in less than 1 hour SLT.
This skin looks really really great, I especially like the lip(color)s, everything looks beautiful except for the dark eyebrows. They don’t look like hair, but simply drawn on, which they are ofcourse, but they shouldn’t look it.
Well, I normally love LeLutka’s faces but the last two.. Not at all! Especially not this one.
While I usually prefer flawless faces, just like you, I find this one to be too tame and flat. The lips looks as if they’re drawn on as well as the eyebrows.
I put on some make up and especially lips and it looked way better but still, it’s too “nothing” for me.
I feel pretty much the same way, it’s an ok skin and I’m greatful for the free gift which was a nice gesture but it’s one I’ll never wear. The lips look flat and the face is genearlly unremarkable.
Taking a closer look at the gift skins, it’s especially apparent on the darker tones. Wearing the mocha reminds me of the older style of skins. The eyeshadow is mostly just a gradient, the eyeliner is not perfect though I suppose it has a real life hand drawn on look. The eyebrows are pixelated (more obvious on brow shapes that aren’t thin.) All this is from inspecting in world. Of course Gogo looks great in her photos here as always. The mocha gift skin is starting to remind me of Moody’s the more I wear it.
i only tried the lightest tone and I wear a tattoo, so the horrible dark brows won’t stick out so much and this way I personally love the skin, because it’s fitting for fairies and more humanlooking dolls, but even if you hate it… to compare it with moody’s catastrophy is a bit mean don’t you think? xD

:C I wonder what windlight you use. I tried on alba and OMG it looks soo orange and dark.
