Sometimes I leave my home, and go places in SL!
This sim is The Returning, by Marcus Inkpen. It’s located on LEA17 sim.
The Linden Endowment of the Arts is an official Linden Community Partnership program whose purpose is to help new artists, cultivate art in SL, and foster creativity, innovation, and collaboration within the art community.
I was in a funk all day but I logged in for gorgeous new skins and new hair. I can’t keep away for too long when SL designers lure me in with new goodies!
Apple May has been around forever, but I had no idea that she sold skins too. Maybe this is the first one, but I can’t be sure since I haven’t been to AMD in awhile. This Mia skin is a group gift (join the subscribo to get it) and is available in 4 skin tones. I instantly liked this face as soon as I tried it on. Why do I like this face so much?

Hello from around SL! Searching for a proper inside-of-an airplane in SL is impossible, so I settled on two airport locations to use as backdrops for my stewardess look.
I’ve chosen SLPG Prague Airport as my first location, and created an outfit based on the colors here. I’m wearing the new Oxford Pencil Skirt from Mon Tissu in Black, and pairing it with the Gill Blouse in White from VictoriaV. I really like this blouse, the texture is amazing and goes perfectly with this skirt. I wish there was an all White version of this top (without the black collar) so I can wear it with the skirts in other colors too (hint hint to VictoriaV).
I’ve been dying to re-create the Pan Am stewardess look, so of course I had to wear the Airline Blue colored skirt! Yumix Airport has gorgeous vintage airplanes rezzed there, so it was perfect for this look. I searched around my inventory for a proper White blouse, and found a sort-of military/stewardess looking shirt from the 4Minute outfit by Sweetest Goodbye (now closed). I have a few other White Blouses that I could have worn with this skirt, but they showed too much cleavage and didn’t look right for the Pan Am stewardess look.
Also I have to mention this really important (and exciting) thing about the new Oxford Pencil Skirt! This skirt is a rigged mesh skirt, but it does not require you to change your shape to wear it. It should fit almost everyone with no adjustments cos the “skirt” is actually only partially mesh — as you can see, some of the skirt is made up of texture pants, and the mesh area is only visible between the legs, but it blends so flawlessly!!! I did a picture to show you guys how this all works, but definitely try a demo at the store. This is like… a very advanced crotch prim 2.0 😛

I’m getting married tomorrow! Time flies, right? How did I even get here? I’ll tell you. It’s a story of love, loss, and life-changing events.
Two summers ago, I lost one of the most supportive people in my life. I was devastated and became very bitter and withdrawn for a while. Around the same time, one of my SL friends introduced me to her ex, Berathin. She had moved on to dating someone else, but we all remained a good group of friends. One day, she informed me that Bera’s mother had passed away the year before. I was still lost in the grieving process and reached out to him for advice.
We talked a lot after that. And of course, we grew to really like each other! Nothing was serious at first, but that changed over time. Where I’m fiery and short-tempered, Berathin is calm and rational. Where he loves Ancient Rome and the arts, I’m the artist who paints his fem-alt sometimes. Our differences come together beautifully; where they don’t, we get through it just like any other couple.
When did I realize I was in love with him? It was when I wanted to take a picture of our avs one day. He got his fem-alt to pose with me; while situating ourselves, I thought of all the ways he had positively impacted my life. It became overwhelming and I began to cry.
We made plans to move the relationship into reality as soon as possible. When things were ideal for us both, he got a house and we proceeded to move in. It was hard for me to leave Detroit behind, but I had accomplished what I wanted to there anyway. It was just time to move on at that point.
What are our lives like now? We have an office together where we work side by side and play pranks on each other. Our lives have been filled with adventure ever since we moved in together, and I’m looking forward to what the future holds for both of us.
Tomorrow is the big day. I’m nervous but excited! We’re having a small courthouse ceremony followed by a a nice reception with our friends.
Have you ever had a serious relationship in SL? Have you ever taken it to RL? Lemme know in the comments!

Wunderlichs always amazes me with the accuracy of their historical gowns. I can't say I know for sure that they're accurate since I'm not from these centuries ago, but I've seen the real life inspiration pictures and they look the same (and sometimes the SL version is even better than the original!).
I'm wearing the Wunderlichs Pink Empress lisabeth Hungarian Coronation Gown. This gown includes a plain Pink skirt, Pink skirth Apron (worn above) and Train (also worn above). There are 2 sleeves options, with Ruffles or Without. The gown is huuuuuge, totally Empress-worthy 🙂

I'm wearing Dutch Touch's River II skins today. Each skin includes Blonde, Brown & Black brows and Freckles too. Even though I think Dutch Touch skins are more suited for Dark hair, I'm trying them with Champagne Blonde today and they look pretty cute!

These fabulous new Meggan skins are from Unique Megastore. I’m a fan of nice celebrity-inspired faces, so I find myself drawn to these skins.
I would have to say that this is one of the nicer celebrity skins out there, where it’s not just a low quality cut & paste job.
Meggan has 12 makeups, hair base, sexy breasts, and two open lips skin.

Thank you Gogo for letting us know about this wonderful sim.
Sorry for picking the critical route and not commenting on the visuals… but as an official Linden Community Partnership program, they don’t get a spot on the http://community.secondlife.com “blogs”, but Blogspot?
Seems like a bit of a one-sided partnership in my opinion.
LL pays for the sims, I believe.
Absolutely beautiful pictures Gogo, definately will be visiting this landmark on my SL journeys.
