Happy Labor Day everybody in the US!
Exile has just released 3 new hairstyles, and they’re so cute! Gosh, I say that all the time, don’t I?
Exile – Nia | Lelandra | Chantel
I was in a retro mood, so I wore an old (from 2008!) artilleri dress, and put on some Coral Splash Red lipstick.
What I’m Wearing:
Pink Fuel – Elly (Honey) Pure (ltbrow)
Pink Fuel – Elly (Glam Lipstick) Coral Splash
artilleri – Carrie Dress (Red)
flowey – be still my heart (tattoo)
The more I wear a mesh head, the more I identify with it. I find that the best way to feel at home in a mesh head is to commit to it, wear it often, and then customize it until you love it. I worry that I look “just like everyone else” in the mesh head, but so far, I haven’t seen anyone else styling it the way that I do! Take my poll and let me know how often you wear your mesh head!
After I linked to my Ruthed.com post, a couple of people went out of their way to leave Anonymous “hate” comments that was neither necessary nor relevant. I have no issue with Yoko Leeroy’s pricing at all — in fact, I talked to her today, and now I have a clearer understanding of why her Pick was worded that way. It was rude, but she said that some fellow creators sent her IMs saying she was ruining their only source of income — which sounded familiar to me. When Eloh Eliot first released her skins PSD, some people also had the same outrage. And look where we are now? The skins economy is not ruin, and in fact, we have even more brands to choose from than before.
I am happy when I can talk things out with people who may offend me at first glance. I can’t say the same for some of you guys in SL though, who went out of your way to IM Yoko after my link and said, “I can’t believe what Gogo did to you!”
To people who went out of your way to IM Yoko, LOL @ YOU. It got you into her shop didn’t it? Shame on you, for trying to fuel the fire 🙂
Yoko thanked me for her extra sales today 🙂

A couple of weeks ago, pictures of Tya Fallingbridge’s T Town was previewed all over Flickr and Plurk, so I thought I would go check it out today. To my surprise, I am banned from the region! I mentioned this to my friend, who went to make sure the sim was not just closed to the public.
I received a notecard from Pixel Mode’s subscriber thing on April 2nd — so about a month ago. Since I’m banned, I cannot visit, shop, or teleport there to remove myself from the subscriber.
I’ve blogged Pixel Mode in the past, and not always favorably but it was never rude or deserving of a ban! Anyway, sim owners can do what they want on their own sim, and ban whoever they want to, but I guess I’m trying to figure out the reason I was banned.
So I’ve made a list of possible reasons why I’m banned from the Pixel Mode sim:
I made a comment on someone’s Plurk showing preview pictures of the T Town sim. – May 1st, 2012
“i kind of dont like the name, it sounds like it should be urban or something”
“Tyaville would have been cuter”
Shoe HUDs – May 18th, 2011
A proper review comparing the Pixel Mode shoe HUD with several other brands in SL. All I ever said about this HUD was that it was challenging, but with some effort, I was able to get a nice match. Tya responded with..
“Apparently clicking a few buttons is a challenge for some or even reading a notecard”
Hawaiian Girl – May 17th, 2011
I blogged the Pixel Mode Fae Wedge, and mentioned that “The PM HUD is so challenging..” (but overall a nice review) and Tya Fallingbridge leaves a comment and accuses me of picking apart every product.
“If you feel the need to pick apart every product or release I have. Go ahead, if you are just that unhappy, then don’t buy from me.”
Get nail’d! – May 11th, 2010
I mentioned some new nails from Pixel Mode, and that I didn’t like the forced landing point on the sim.
My new house!! – November 14th, 2008
I paid over $5K for this house once, and lived in it for years. It was one of my favorite homes in SL!
(You can search for all mentions of Pixel Mode on my blog by clicking this link.)
For the record, ALL nails or shoes I have ever blogged from Pixel Mode were purchased by myself. I’ve even purchased some things I never blogged (a watch, I think?). The only things not purchased were the Fae Wedge shoes that were sent as part of a Shoe Fair. Is this how you treat a customer? Yes I’m vocal, and I critique items, but I thought we were all adults in SL, able to express our opinions without being banned from sims.
Being a sim owner myself, I never ban anyone who wasn’t spamming, or causing destruction on my sim by rezzing objects or something horrible that lagged the sim.
I just wanted to get this off my chest! Have you guys ever been banned from anywhere? Was it a good reason, or just a personal grudge from the sim owner?
/Update/ Tya sort of addressed this to me on her public Plurk timeline, so I thought I would share with you guys. Apparently, she felt that the reason is cos I have “maliciously attacked” her. For reference, see all the above blog links. Again, I will say that I have nothing to apologize for, as I have never viewed any of my words as an attack. We can agree to disagree, I suppose. I responded to Tya’s plurk in a polite manner, and she threatened to report me for harassment on PLURK! So, I think I made the right choice by never IM’ing her in SL, just in case she reports me for harassment there, too. LOL.
You were banned last year, you had a year to come to me and ask. I don’t have an issue with you. What I had an issue with : the tactics you used. I was maliciously attacked by you through a whole day last year. It came to a point I was about to pack up and leave a place I have loved for almost 9 years. Constructive criticism is welcome, being attacked over and over again is not constructive, it became about you wanting to hurt me. Being a blogger does not give you the right to spend the day hurting someone purposely. Now almost a year to the date, you have done it again. Why? Why not come to me personally? The ban will stay in affect until you apologize.
Kind Regards,
Tya Fallingbridge
I’m wearing LeLutka‘s newest release, the Paine mini-skirt. It’s sculpted so a bit of fitting needs to be done to get it to fit properly. As usual, I’ve decided to just shrink my avatar to fit (mostly my ass) since I don’t really like messing with sculpted prims. I’ve paired it with a really old and discontinued MMS (now LeLutka) skin with deep red lipstick… ah, I love this skin so much.
Diesel Works is a pose shop that has been around just for a few months but they already have tons of poses & posing accessories. I’m playing around on the Diesel Works ‘The Debutante Chaise’ which comes with an impressive collection of 25 poses changeable via a menu.

I love Bellisseria. That’s no secret. I’ve loved it since the launch in 2019 and I even went Lifetime Premium so I could keep my little homes forever.
Yesterday I woke up to find that the new Ridgewood Enclave, which first appeared on the west coast of the OG Bellisseria continent, has now crept north and is just one region away from blocking my beloved Victorian Linden Home. It’s one region away from destroying my waterfront view.
Unblockable waterfront is the dream in Second Life. People pay big money for it on private estates and when it comes with a Linden Home for the cost of a yearly Premium subscription it feels like winning the lottery. For years we believed our rare coastal homes were secure, that our unblockable views would always stay that way. That sense of security was tossed out the window this week when Second Life started building in front of the very views that made Bellisseria magical.
I’m disappointed. I know many residents who live along these coasts will feel the same sadness when their open water is suddenly replaced with rows of concrete houses. Bellisseria was supposed to be the sure thing, the continent where you could settle in, decorate, and trust that your neighborhood and view would remain untouched. Now that certainty is gone.
Part of the charm of Bellisseria is its consistency. When we choose a theme we expect it to stay that way with only minimal or optional updates. We don’t want drastic changes that undo the very reasons we moved there in the first place.
I wasn’t going to say anything. But the truth is, as residents, we should feel free to voice our opinions when the HOA, also known as Linden Lab, makes sweeping decisions without considering the people already living there. It’s not unreasonable to expect at least one buffer row of ocean regions between themes, something to preserve the views and avoid jarring transitions.
Bellisseria isn’t just a collection of regions. It’s the neighborhoods and views that matter to us, and we don’t want to see them ruined.
Gogo! Where can I get such cute face poses?
