I’ve been busy!! I wanted some colorful eyeshadows, so I made two sets — ✿ cheLLe ✿ Simply Dusty and Simply Bright (they’re similar colors), but the Dusty is lighter and Bright pack is bolder. I love both sets, especially the Pink and Peach shadow!
Elate! is participating in the Gatcha Gatcha Festival. What you do is tp to the festival, there are tons of lil' machines set up from different vendors. Pay a machine and get random goodies, it's that easy! The items are transferrable so if you get duplicates you can always pass it on to a friend or trade with someone else.
I'm wearing the Elate! Elise dress in Cream, Blush, Spring Green and Sunny (a group gift). This item is available for $25L, an irresistable price.
I'm pairing the Elise dress with a jewelry set found @ Jewelry Fair. I'm wearing the Frola white & platinum necklace brooch and bracelet from R.A. Crystal. It's so pretty!! I didn't like that the necklace was set to full bright but it is modifiable so I was able to 'uncheck' that option.
I went to my friend Britnee’s houseboat to set up the Brighton Boat Bar set from Cheeky Pea. You can rez it on land or on water, but I think it’s super cute on water! There’s enough seating for at least six of your friends!
My outfit today is the Bomia look outfit from M.Birdie. Don’t ask me how many times I had to play this gacha to get an outfit that color coordinates. TOO MANY. I now have several complete outfits, lol.
Exile has just released the Janine hairstyle, a short bob with soft wispy layers that curl outwards. I'm wearing the hair in Harlow and Ash color, both available in the Blondes pack. This hair is short & sexy and perfect for halter dresses.
I am wearing HUCCI's newest release, the Heather Collection dress which can be worn as a short dress or short pants (prim shorts cuffs included), and has two prim beaded halter straps in gold or silver version.
What I'm Wearing:
Tuli – Hope Prototype Base Skin (unreleased) Exile – Janine Hucci – Heather Halter (Lt Grey) Redgrave – St. Tropez Heels (Sungold)
Sparkle landscaping my new Copperfield Heights cottage
Did I ever tell you guys that I’m a recovering Linden Homes addict?
It’s actually been pretty easy this past year to work on my addiction, mostly because Tiki, Aspen Ridge, and Ridgewood Enclave just weren’t for me. I tried Tiki for about a week or so, just to give it a fair shot. Aspen Ridge and Ridgewood Enclave? I didn’t even try them. I knew on sight they weren’t my thing, and that made it a lot easier to stay “in recovery.”
So last Thursday, Second Life released the newest Linden Homes theme, Copperfield Heights. It caught me off guard because there wasn’t really any hype leading up to it. No big buildup. I wasn’t expecting anything new at all.
I didn’t even love these on sight either. They launched with winter terrain and landscaping, and the houses didn’t really blend into the all-white surroundings. It felt a little harsh visually. And honestly, I wasn’t even wanting another Linden Home. I’ve been doing so well.
But FOMO is FOMO.
So I rolled.
There are definitely things I don’t love. Some of the textures don’t line up perfectly. There’s no white interior wood trim. No back doors on some of the homes. None of it is a deal breaker for me, but it’s also not great. They’re just those little details you notice and wish were done a bit better.
At the same time, there are things I really like. The built-in porches are nice. There’s slight PBR, but it’s not overly shiny like the Aspen Ridge homes. And the houses can absolutely lean cottage if you want them to. That’s what I wanted. A girly cottage. So I made one.
Copperfield Heights cottage <3
What really sets this theme apart from the previous fifteen is that it’s available for all premium membership levels. Plus members can get a 512. Premium members get a 1024. Premium Plus gets the largest 2048 homes. I think that’s a really good move. The regions are seasonal as well, which we were recently introduced to with Aspen Ridge, and I do like having that variety.
I wouldn’t say I’m completely in love with Copperfield Heights, but I do think I could be happy with one. The one I have now is on a finished edge, and that’s good enough for me.
Sparkle already started landscaping for me, and she says if I leave she’ll unalive me, so I guess I’m staying.

Interior – the fireplace works!
So. much. brown. wood.
Welcome to my new cottage
Sparkle riding around Copperfield Heights – this should be an ad!
I haven’t been to Tochigi CYBERCITY in awhile and so much has changed! It’s much larger than last year and still gorgeous and glowy and one of the best places to take photographs in SL. My PC really hates rendering sims (especially nice sims with lots of objects and details) so I crashed a lot while taking these photos but I got ’em! I hope you guys like my photos out of the skybox 😛
I went to Tochigi cos I wanted to blog the new Space Doll Dress from Fishy Strawberry (at Euphoria). I may have worn these with some pumps but when I tried on the GTFO Boots from Gos, they went perfectly well together. This dress short and sexy, maybe a little too short but that’s the appeal to me. I noticed that the prim skirt attachment didn’t blend seamlessly (you can see it in my pics) but it’s something that’s acceptable, it’s not too obvious.
Here’s a close-up of the GTFO Boots! Every part of this shoe can be colored via a menu.
What I’m Wearing:
Truth – Madeline (Espresso)
Unique Megastore – Kristten 01 by Nany Merlin (sexy breasts)
Fishy Strawberry – Space Doll Dress (Turquoise)
Gos – GTFO Boots
Images & seamless textures that I generated with AI
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.
SL snapshot vs Stable Diffusion edit
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.
Can I ask where you got your eyelashes? I love them 🙂
The best eyeshadows you’ve done! <3 Off to purchase them…..
