Get this gorgeous Natalie Winter Coat from G-field for 50% off from now until the 26th! Even at full price, G-Field is already an affordable but high-quality brand, so don’t miss out on this sale. This coat is the cutest thing to hit the grid this Winter, and matches perfectly with the Sasha Fur Cuff Boots, also from G-Field.
Included with the coat and boots is a HUD to color or texture change the different components:
Markova Apparel has an awesome line of Summer wear. I looove bathing suits and bikini for all seasons in SL. Earlier this week Cubic Effect released a line of sculpted hats that are perfect for shielding your avatar’s face away from the SL UV-rays and look good doing it!
I love art and colors, so I really like this dress because its like wearing an abstract piece of paint splatter with awesome cleavage. Everything is adorable except I had to lighten the skirt prim attachment to match the dress better, and rotate it slightly, because it didn’t sit right on my av.
I said I wouldn’t buy regular Maitreya clothing anymore, but the Junbug sale is too good to pass up. To celebrate their 15th anniversary, everything in store is L$15, or L$14 for group members. I noticed that many items included the Maitreya body, so I made an exception and went on a shopping spree. I didn’t own any of these gowns before, so it was a win. I walked out with dozens of items, including some fancy formal gowns and a few more historical ones. These designs will be retired after the sale, and the sale can end at any moment, so you should definitely check it out!
I encountered a minor issue at the store; something I purchased didn’t deliver. It seems the vendors might have been set up incorrectly. For some reason, the Agnetha gown in Ivory refuses to deliver to me.
I’ve been seeing quite a bit of buzz lately around PrimFeed, which is touted as a Flickr alternative specifically for Second Life residents, created by a fellow resident. Interestingly, PrimFeed isn’t the only social media site exclusively for Second Life, despite such claims. Personally, I don’t use any of these Second Life-specific platforms because I prefer to share my Second Life photos and blog with the entire internet.
Why Some Second Life Residents are Upset with Flickr
The primary reasons that some residents are frustrated with Flickr often boil down to two things:
They aren’t PRO users and face limitations.
Frequent Terms of Service (TOS) violations, such as posting adult content and not properly moderating it, or engaging in commercial activities on a free account results the account being deleted.
Flickr offers a free option that lets users host up to 1,000 photos, provided they adhere to specific restrictions. On the other hand, PrimFeed permits adult and commercial content on free accounts but limits file sizes to 1500×1500 pixels. I believe free account limitations are justified due to the operational costs of such platforms, and I’m willing to pay for a service as long as it meets my needs.
My Take on Flickr vs. PrimFeed
I’m not dissatisfied with Flickr nor am I seeking an alternative. Since signing up as a PRO member in 2007, I’ve found Flickr to be the best photo hosting service for Second Life brands and bloggers. For under $60 USD a year, I enjoy unlimited photo and video storage and the ability to embed these media into my blog seamlessly.
First Impressions of PrimFeed
PrimFeed strikes me more as a social media platform, akin to a streamlined version of X (formerly Twitter), rather than a robust image hosting site like Flickr. It offers social features but lacks the comprehensive photo hosting capabilities that Flickr provides.
In my opinion, PrimFeed is not a replacement for Flickr. It’s more of a pared-down social media platform that may or may not gain traction. Without enough paying subscribers, its sustainability is questionable due to the costs associated with hosting and bandwidth.
Here are the essential features missing from PrimFeed:
No viewing without a PrimFeed account and are signed in
No high quality image format, everything is converted/compressed to .webp
No favorites tab, makes it hard to revisit images I liked
No search, can’t find anything I’m looking for
No direct messaging/private messaging
No views count
No dates on gallery images
No groups
No albums
No tagging other people
No tags
No sharing outside of PrimFeed
No private photo settings
No embed code for your blog
No clickable profile links
No videos
No notifications to email
No custom URL/ability to change url
No stats who liked/shared/viewed?
No editing tools/batch editing for photos
No automatic account deletion (must send a notecard and wait 72 hours)
Is PrimFeed a reasonable replacement for Twitter? Absolutely. It’s designed to look and feel just like Twitter, ensuring you’ll feel right at home. Plus, you won’t have to deal with annoying real-life ads and irrelevant content cluttering your feed. When you evaluate PrimFeed as an alternative to Twitter, you’ll find it much more appealing.

Let’s talk freckles! I’m not a huge fan of wearing lots of freckles in SL, but I do have quite a few in my inventory. I thought I would show you guys a lil’ bit of what’s available, if you like to wear freckles on your skin. Many skin designers have freckles drawn on the skin itself (or they include a freckles layer) — if your favorite skin doesn’t come with freckles, or too little/too much, you can wear as many of these freckles layers as you want to create a new mix.
What I’m Wearing:
1. Clean face (No Freckles)
2. chelle – Freckles Light
3. Tuli – Freckles Light
4. PXL – FullBody Freckles
5. Tres Blah – Freckles
6. Bella Di Notte – Freckles so subtle!
Some of these freckles tattoos are sold as part of a skin package, or as individual tattoo layers.
Where are your favorite places to get tattoo freckles?
Hi everyone! I’ve added a new shape to my shop using one of my favorite skins at the moment: LeLutka IFE! If you’re looking for a quick & stylish way to shape up your SL, visit my shop on Juicy to check out the new Isabella shape! 🙂
All shapes are copy/mod and includes a style card.
I really miss “the real” Gogo-shape! 🙁 She looks nothing like the “old Gogo”… Though, some things must change 🙂
Awww, how cute do you look!
What hair is that in the photo? Thanks!
Exile, London Rain style
i LOVE this new face of Gogo!
