Zooby has just released their very first Mesh Avatar, and it is a cute lil’ cat! Each mesh cat avatar comes with a HUD to control eye colors, sounds, and movements. I wasn’t expecting this cat to be so realistic, but when I wore the avatar and the HUD, my avatar transformed into the most realistic cat I’ve seen in SL. The mesh sculpts combined with movements really made it come alive.
I’m particularly fond of this White Mesh Cat — but you can also get Ginger and Black color. The Black cat would be so perfect for upcoming Halloween, and it’s such a cutie!
The HUD lets you choose between 8 different movements — Nap, Clean, Walk, Run, Eat, Play, Sit, and Jump.
Since this is a cat avatar that you wear, you won’t be able to rez this or cuddle it yourself. This cat avatar is perfect for role-playing a cat or being someone else’s cat.

Aranel Ah of BOOM has just released the Good and Bad Girl set and the Guilty & Innocent set. Each set includes two colors with different sayings on the panties. These are great and fun! Are you a Bad Girl? Good Girl? Guilty or Innocent? Don't say it, wear it on your panties 😀
Donna Flora created this Reine dress for Miss France, for the Miss Virtual World contest. I don’t follow pageants in SL, but I saw this dress on the feed awhile back and had to have it. I love big gowns in SL, although there’s never anywhere to go in them. But do you really need a reason to dress up like a Princess in SL? newp!
What I’m Wearing:
Truth – Jocelyn (Swedish)
LeLutka – Gem/Golden-Makeup5
Dutch Touch – Makeup – Lipgloss – Faded Serie – StrawBerry
Glow Studio – Pink Duck (Hairband) modded to fit hair
Donna Flora – Reine (Miss France MVW contest)
Donna Flora – BEAUTY Necklace & Earrings

All poses used from POSEUR (Poofy set)
My friend Anna shared this link with me, so I’m passing it along to you guys. Moebells blog has visual hints to the Zombie Popcorn Hunt, along with shop name & slurls. This person is 10000x more patient than me, and I’m thankful there are awesome people like her in SL 🙂
The latest release from House of Heart are fun flexi-styles with amazing soft textures!! <3333
I love the Earth style, its like Pocahontas hair! Please excuse the typo.. that’s suppose to be “coffee bean” color. Shown below are four of my favorites 🙂
The Sylva Dress from The Secret Store is easily my favorite dress at the moment. I love palm trees, palm prints, and everything that reminds me of the beach or a tropical island. I even found a chair from Glam Affair Home @ Collabor88 that features pillows with palm prints! I added some planters around my house to bring more greenery indoors. Most of the house plants are from What Next, and the planters are texture-changing.
What I’m Wearing:
Truth Hair – Cheri
The Secret Store – Sylva Dress (Tropical)
Blueberry – Grace Pants
Ingenue – Sigrid Heels (Latte)
I’ve been watching Second Life residents showing off all the features on this new Third Party Viewer based on the Firestorm code, and the main thing I care about is this:
IT FIXES HAIR ALPHA GLITCH.
For a virtual world built entirely around visuals and eye candy, why have we all just been suffering through this for decades? Suddenly out of nowhere, AYAstorm comes along and delivers us from the alpha glitch nightmare. Did nobody else want to fix this? Did Linden Lab just not care? Because this changes EVERYTHING for in-world photography.
I love landscaping, plants, trees, dense nature scenes… and all of that has always been a complete nightmare because of alpha rendering issues. Hair breaking. Layers flickering. Photos ruined. And now? FIXED. OMG.
As much as I still love Aperture Viewer, it hasn’t been updated in forever and it doesn’t have this fix. This alone is enough reason for me to switch immediately.
And beyond that, there are actually a bunch of really cool features if you’re into lighting tweaks, so definitely check it out. Since it’s based off Firestorm, most Second Life residents will already feel familiar with the layout.
Also, if you end up loving this viewer too, please go thank the creator of AYAstorm either in Second Life or over on X/Twitter, because this is one of the most exciting viewer improvements I’ve seen in years.
If you get motion sickness, go to the AYAstorm menu – Motion Blur – and uncheck Enable Motion Blur. Go to SSR – uncheck Enable Screen Space Reflections to remove glitchy water shadow too.
Update: Some of you commented on the quality difference between the viewer and I just wanted to note that I forgot to change the texture resolution to 2048 on AYAstorm (it was shot at 512 by accident). Go to Preferences – Graphics – Texture Rendering – Restrict maximum texture resolution to: change to 2048 pixels.
Being someone else’s cat sounds fun. :p The only thing that’s missing is for the HUD to interact with other avatars so they can pet you or pick you up and hug you. I had thought from watching the video that it could interact with other avatars, but it didn’t. I am enjoying just pouncing around, though.
omygosh I want to be the orange kitty!
Omg looks so….alive
