This is my 344th post this year and also my last for 2011! I’ve had so much fun blogging SL fashion this year, and I hope you guys have also enjoyed reading my blog.
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.

Djinn & Tonic have just released this adorable Houndstooth jacket, in a bunch of seasonal colors. Each jacket includes sculpted collar, cuffs, and a prim jacket attachment. I'm pairing my outfit with one of my favorite pair of pants from LeeZu, the Brit Pants, which I've worn many times. I loove the textures & cuffs on these pants.
All you lovely addicts please don't kill me!! I'm so excited I got a sneak peek of Lelutka's Eclat skins that will be released on October 10th. They're beautiful and they have tons of new details that were not on previous releases (you'll have to wait and seee!!!!).

Yay four new Truth hairstyles for your wearing pleasure! I’ve noticed that Truth has been using more of the ‘crimped’ hair texture and it’s kind of cool.
I am wearing Avery, Stella, Pamela and Lara all in Latte brown.
Aren’t these Gigi Balloons from Legna the best? I love that these numbers come with two really nice poses for each hand. Even though the balloons state they are no modify, it actually allowed me to modify one, and I tinted it a light shade of blue. You can also rez these numbers for any occasion.
This is meant to be an early Happy New Year post, but I also wanted to share my reflections on last year. Overall, I feel I had a good year in Second Life! I upgraded from Lifetime Premium to Lifetime Premium Plus, which cost a significant amount, and at first, I was genuinely excited. However, as the year progressed, I began to worry about the longevity of Second Life.
I was enthusiastic about the mobile app when I tried it early this year as part of the alpha program; however, I now think it’s completely hopeless. This Open Letter to Linden Lab clearly outlines why I don’t believe we will ever see a usable mobile app.
I had a lot of fun in the Aurelias region with my friend Sparkle. Still, I ultimately decided to pull the plug when I recognized that the economy and the state of Second Life might be uncertain in 2025. It was actually an easy decision; when faced with uncertainty, it is prudent to eliminate an unnecessary expense. As much as I enjoy having a whole region, I also appreciate the freedom that comes with not having to maintain one. I told Sparkle not to let me bring the region back next year, even if I have new ideas and want another one. 2025 is not the year for significant land projects.
What am I looking forward to in Second Life in 2025? I am looking forward to Philip Linden changing his outfit. Additionally, I am eager for the next Linden Home theme, although Linden Lab has gone silent on that topic! Will it ever come? Who knows. It has been so long since the next theme was chosen via a poll that I almost forgot we were promised Alpine and Tiki as the next two themes. I am also looking forward to cleaning my inventory; right now it stands at 77k, but I know I can reduce it to 50k if I put in some effort.
What are you looking forward to next year? Let me know in the comments!
I think Barb Carson should count herself lucky that she has been paying only $195US/Monthly for her grandfathered Class 5 (not Class 4) – full prim sims, rather than flaunt the fact that she has been getting a break on the SL Official forums. When have I ever gotten a break on tier? NEVER. When grandfathered sims go up in prices, it should go up for everyone in SL. Let’s level the playing field a little here.
This entry is not to pick on Barb, but to say that if I were in her position, I would keep quiet about the cushy tier deals I have going on with the Lindens. ;X
I wear a lot of shoes from Ingenue, you could say that it’s my go-to brand for shoes. Most of the styles are available in plenty of colors and prints, and pairs well with casual styles. I am wearing the Elodie Flats from Ingenue. Exile is killing it with this gorgeous Long Beach hairstyle, available at Summerfest! It feels like summer is a year-long season in SL, which is alright with me cos I mostly live on the beach.
What I’m Wearing:
Exile – Long Beach (@ Summerfest)
A N E Fashion – Pico Top (Sky) (@ Summerfest)
The Secret Store – Cia Highwaist Shorts (@ Collabor88)

Happy new year! Love your blog! (And I know it’s a ton of work, so keep it up!) 🙂
