LeLutka released half a dozen new hairstyles recently! I found this adorable Nook hairstyle to be my favorite, cos it also includes the texture-changing hair scarf. LeLutka also has a “Naturals” pack now! I was delighted that my favorite Blonde hair color, Marilyn was included in this pack, along with BlondeFun, Bourneville, IrishRed, Jessica, Metal, Pitch, and Praline! What a great mix of hair colors, and a great deal for someone who wanted to change their hair color often.
It’s cold outside, but in SL, it’s always hot hot hot.
What I’m Wearing:
LeLutka – NOOK hair (Marilyn)
Pink Fuel – Kumi (Peach) Pure (bwnbrow/crease)
Zaara – Chanchal (Lavender)
Belgravia – Cascade Cardigan (S) Snow
I bought a bunch of stuff at the Gatcha Gatcha festival but my inventory is a mess and they weren't labelled "Gatcha" so I can't remember what they all were. Here's the stuff that I DO remember!! Katat0nik is practically giving away these adorable Kattypop purses – you pay the lil' Katat0nik machine $15L per play and get a random color. They are no copy/transfer so you can exchange with a friend or give it away, if you get doubles. The purse also includes the 'hold' animation, and works great with your AO.
Don't forget to try the HANAUTA food machine! On my first try I scored the Petit Tart in Strawberry flavor. Whoohoo! It matched the Katat0nik Strawberry Dollie Dress perfectly.
I went to Tickets 4 sim it’s a cute little Winter sim with lots of photogenic places. I think the owner may be Russian, cos he was there typing in Russian when I tp’d in. The sim is quite popular, there were lots of people hanging around there. It’s worth exploring if you like Winter-themed sims!
Hello from Ethereal City! I had a lot of fun here, and the whole region is a great backdrop for my photos today. I’ve noticed that I only have two styles these days: very casual (cardigans, sweaters, etc.) or “Sugar Baby Chic,” where I go all out and wear something sexy but still cute.
I’m baaaaaaack! My site was hacked yesterday, along with other MediaTemple customers. I think the site has been restored fully but if you encounter any blank pages or hacker messages, please let me know!
Now…… onto some yummy new Gala Phoenix skins. The newest face is called Elf — and it comes in the usual 6 makes (2 versions each) and with freckles. You guys already know all of this by now, I’m sure 🙂
What I’m SUPER SUPER SUPER excited about is the NEW face….. new nose, new pouty lips, new brows. It’s got the sharpest little nose I’ve seen on a Gala skin to date. The brows are so great too, possibly my favorite brows because they’re light, thin and versatile — I can wear Blonde or Brunette hair, without it being mismatched.
Instead of showing you all 12 like I normally do, I wanted to show just 6 random ones so you’ll be able to see them more up-close.
Since the skin is called ‘Elf’ — I’ve bundled myself up in a cozy knit dress from Momo. These come in Black, Brownie, Grape, Gray, Pink, Red, Sea, Snow, and Yellow.
What I’m Wearing:
Gala Phoenix – Elf-Petal Skins (coming soon)
69 – Verte 04 (Light Blonde) with scarf
Momo – knit dress

SWA has just released the May Fae Jewelry set and it is stunning. Each set includes a necklace, charm bracelet, and matching earrings. I tiny golden fairy is sculpted, and completely amazing up-close.. I can't get enough of it.

January is all about cozy vibes and bodysuits. I tried on numerous bodysuits before settling on this adorable Ramona bodysuit and matching cardi from Littlefox. Everyone seems to be embracing bodysuits this month, but the reason I chose this one over the others is because I like the cleavage, textures, and colors it offers.
I love Rosé’s twin buns hairstyle from the APT music video. So when I saw that S-Club released the Pinky hairstyle, clearly inspired by Rosé, I immediately bought it. Although S-Club’s prices are on the higher side, at L$999 for fatpacks, I know I will wear this hairstyle frequently. If you do not opt for a fatpack at S-Club, unfortunately, you won’t get access to all of the hairstyle options or accessories.
This week I realized that I have matured because I no longer feel rage about anything in Second Life. X (Twitter forever) is all about AI. Meanwhile, on Bluesky, Second Life residents are making lists and expressing their concerns about AI usage. There are many issues to be upset about in life, but AI is not one of them for me. You may choose to be upset if you wish, but many brands in Second Life are employing AI to edit their photos and videos. They are also utilizing AI to generate textures and sell “art” at events. While I do not necessarily endorse these practices, I recognize that I cannot control other SL residents, nor can anyone halt progress. AI is innovative and here to stay. It can be integrated into our workflow without eliciting accusations of thievery. If you choose to boycott certain brands, I suggest doing so quietly. I myself boycott several brands for various reasons, but I do not feel the need to publicize my decisions.
Although I consider AI a fun tool to experiment with, and I have used it in the past to edit a photo or two, most of my images come directly from Second Life. It is quite evident that many skin designers are now using AI to enhance their skin advertisements. Proceed with caution, and be sure to demo everything before making a purchase.
What are your thoughts on brands that utilize AI to enhance their product photos or sell AI-generated textures? Let me know in the comments!
So gorgeous GoGo….Could someone point me in the direction of the cardigan? I have looked all over at Mode which I assume is Belgravia??? Maybe I’m confused…LOL. Thanks so much for the help in advance “).
Thanks for that tip Opal…..I never think to look on the Marketplace as I prefer in world shopping for the “experience” but certainly will in the future.
You’re welcome! Yes in-world shopping is more fun, hehe.
Although I was at Truth yesterday and got harassed by a noob asking for money for some hair, that’s the only downfall to it. Oh, and lag!
You look great, I’m so happy about the Naturals pack too.
Opal is blonde 95% of the time but sometimes blonde doesn’t suit the outfit so this is great news!
I’m glad they included Pitch that’s the black I prefer. I also usually do Praline when I go light brown.

Found it….right up front of course….giggles. Don’t know how I missed it.
What I do when I’m buying stuff I’ve seen on Gogo’s blog is check the Marketplace, the Cascade Cardigan is on there but it’s good that you found it!
