OMG! This is my dream bikini! The new Sailor Bikini from Katat0nik is so cute, and there’s even a matching parasol! This bikini is texture but includes a mesh bow, and mesh sailor hat.
Home and Garden Expo is here! This expo is opened now until May 28th, so be sure to check it out! My favorite decor items are beach-themed, so I will be looking for those and trying to feature some new finds on my blog before the expo is over.
I’m lounging on the Sway’s Deckchair that also comes with a matching stool and accessories. This chair is scripted with 4 lounging poses and perfect for your home (or beach!) [direct SLurl to Sway’s @ HG Expo].
I was not waiting for the Genus Project mesh head update because I haven’t worn it since the end of 2020. Then I saw a notice recently that there was an update, so I wondered if all of the previous issues with the HUD and eyes were resolved. When I first tried on the Genus Project Baby mesh head back in April 2019, I liked it a lot and it became my main head for over a year, even though it had issues from the start! Those issues were never updated, so eventually customers and brands flocked to other brands.
Meet Suzie, the newest skin release from Unique Megastore. For several releases in a row, Unique Megastore skins have been sunkissed or tan, which is a lil bit darker tone than what I normally wear.
This new Suzie skin comes in a lighter tone with light brows, and it pairs beautifully with light Brown hair or even the right shade of Blonde. Suzie also includes “sexy breasts” option, hair base, and a mix of closed and open-mouth skins.
I wish I could show you all of the makeups, but since I’m photographing with shadows today, I’ll have to limit myself to just two favorites.
I picked up this adorable Love Affair babydoll top from ATOMIC, it is part of one of the special sales event (there’s so many, hard to keep track of). I like the color and the shading, and I generally adore babydoll tops. I was a lil disappointed that the cleavage is so low and wide, so the top looked really odd when worn by itself. So, I wore the Frilly Little Bra from Whippet&Buck and it looked better with it.
What I’m Wearing:
Unique Megastore – Suzie 01, Suzie 09 “sexy breasts”
LeLutka – Olja (Toast)
Whippet&Buck – Frilly Little Bra (Ivory)
ATOMIC – Bleached Jeans (Vintage)
Caroline’s Jewelry – Crimson & White Cake Ring
I found this gorgeous Julie hair at Truth and loved the bangs and the warm maple texture. Finding new hair that I like is really exciting for me because it inspires me to wear the rest of my inventory!
I bought this Autumn Tunic awhile back at MALT fashion, but I totally forgot about it until I picked up this hair today. The skirt length is perfect on this dress, it's not too short and the belt is a great touch.
I know it’s still November, but I’m already in the mood for winter lights and Christmas festivities in Second Life. There are several things I look forward to during this time of the year, including Black Friday sales, the LeLutka Christmas tree gift, and clothing options that go beyond dresses that barely cover one’s bum. I need to find a way to wear this Everfaery Frostlight Jacket year-round, as it comes with so many color options and optional string lights. Everything is better wrapped in string lights.
To distract myself from the issues with the Second Life mobile app, I decided to visit Winter Love Valley and enjoy some snow. This region is simple yet truly exceptional for photography! I was especially impressed with the chairs by What Next; the poses are all great and appear very natural. I immediately messaged Sparkle to ask if we had those chairs in our region, and she confirmed that we do.
In all the years that I’ve blogged about Second Life, I have never felt appreciated by Linden Lab. Therefore, when I read about the secret invitation-only blogger’s Zoom meeting, I was not surprised at all to not receive an invitation. A few other bloggers expressed similar sentiments, as feeling excluded is regrettably nothing new here. Second Life gains a significant amount of free press from its residents; we take millions of photos and create videos daily to promote the platform. Second Life bloggers are essential to the platform’s success; without us shopping, buying regions, and showcasing our experiences online, brands would not be able to thrive here.
If you read the blog post I linked, you will see that in Brett Linden’s email, he mentions plans for even more secret meetings with selected creators. If you are a creator, consider how you can get on that list, as your competitors may receive invitations and obtain information that could significantly impact your livelihood before you do.
There’s more I want to express about how Linden Lab has handled these matters, but I am not particularly impressed with recent developments, and I worry about Second Life’s future. With tickets going unanswered and numerous hacking incidents reported on the platform, I question whether we are safe. Is Second Life in trouble?
Please share your thoughts in the comments! Do you believe Second Life is better than ever, or do you think it could improve?
The Attituede pose shop moved into Juicy Del Mar and their poses are inexpensive and includes super cute props. I adore the Swing! poses, they're only $150L for the pack of 4 poses and includes the beautiful animated flower swing.
If you look around, there are some cheapies pose packs for $5-$10L too!
When I first started blogging, a lot of the “popular” bloggers wore Brunette hair. I started out SL as a Brunette, but changed to Blonde after a couple of months. Even though Gogo is mostly a Blonde now, I really love certain Dark Brown colors, like Espresso or Cocoa. I really can’t stick with one color too long, since I tend to match my hair with whatever skin I’m wearing so it doesn’t look odd. Luckily, this Swedish Blonde shade really works with Light skin tone from LeLutka.
Awhile ago I told a friend of mine that I think I’m going Brunette to change it up a little, she said NOOOOOOOOOO. There are too many Brunette bloggers already, and not enough Blondes. I thought about that, and took a quick look at the fashion feeds, and yep, the assumption that everyone wants to be “Barbie” is just not true. Not everyone is tan and Blonde in SL, a lot of bloggers wear Red or Brunette hair colors. Have you noticed that? It’s rare to see a Platinum Blonde.
Oh damn, I think I’ve rambled on today. What I meant to say was, Truth has four new hairstyles out and I’m loving my Swedish Blonde shade 🙂
Sooo cute!
Super cute!
