JuicyBomb gets an update, again! Isabelle Requiem so kindly helped me skin Thesis 2.0 to look similar (but so much prettier!) than my old site. Please visit her blog and give her some love, cos she’s so amazing and awesome.
I’m still getting used to the back-end of Thesis 2.0, but pretty much everything should in the same place as before. I’ll probably use the new theme that I bought on another blog, since you guys don’t like too many changes on this site 😀
Do you like my new banner? It’s so Pink! I’m re-using a lot of elements from previous banners (background, text) cos I was in a rush to make the banner. Something better soon, maybe.
The Empress and Hierophant sim, along with all the other sims surrounding Alchemy Immortalis is for sale and will be closing soon! I took this opportunity to visit the sheeps one last time. Goodbye, lil’ sheepies!
If I made a list of my Five Favorite Places in Second Life (check out Ziki’s list!), I would definitely put Empress and Hierophant on it! Many people love this sim, so we’ll see if it can be saved and preserved!
Hello from Fantasy, the latest Linden Homes theme. This theme is lit, LOL. Everything glows here, and it’s easy to see why it can be too intense for most people. If you want something “not suburban” then this theme is for you.
I didn’t plan on getting a Fantasy home, but I will probably keep one for a while and see how it goes. The interior of the homes is quite nice, with big windows and spacious rooms. If you want to live together with your friends, it’s easy to do so here, cos entire regions will release together. NOW IS THE TIME TO GET A FANTASY HOME.
mon tissu is a collaboration between Emma Gilmour (Surf Co) & Juliette Westerburg (Tres Blah), but you’ll know them as Elie Spot and Anouk Spot under this new brand.
I had the pleasure of visiting the new Lula sim a few days ago, and it is very beautiful, exactly like you would expect from a sim with a pretty name. I loved the small French village feel with colorful buildings surrounded by the lush Green countryside.
Here are some basic pieces you’ll find from mon tissu; they can be mixed-and-match easily and they’re incredibly girlie and casual. I predict that I’ll wear these jeans often, as they go with everything and there’s plenty of frilly tops to choose from at mon tissu.
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?
This blog desperately needed a new banner, so I forced myself to be creative today! I am inspired by hearts, bokeh, and bright & festive colors. Ever since Katey Coppola made a tutorial about bokeh brushes, there was no turning back for me! I looooooooove them. I also tend to reuse a lot of elements from banner to banner (laziness), but also cos I felt really attached to some things!
I taught myself how to use Photoshop, about the same time that I started playing SL. These banners are simple, but they’re self-made, and I’m really proud of that!
Some day, I’ll have a professional (someone better than me) do a banner, but for now, you’re stuck with my works of art! 😀
Here is a history of JuicyBomb.com banners, from latest – oldest.

Hi, I don’t know if it’s something wrong my end or not, but since the change to the blog I have had so much trouble seeing it properly. I’ve had to refresh over and over just to see the banner most of the time and have not been able to search through old posts as easily as before to remind myself of the tips I love to use for my avatar 🙁 I must say though when I did get the new banner to load, it is very pretty =) x
I couldn’t see the banner at first either and started to panic thinking it was something I did lol. But I deleted cookies in my browser and everything is showing up fine now yay! Thanks for the plug Gogo! I’m glad I could help and I love the banner 😀
I love the new Chloe update sooooo much! Now I never take my mesh head off. Is it just me or did they also fix the eyes with the update? Before the inner corners of the eyes looked a bit jagged and weird (a lot of people complained about that), but now they look normal. 😀

Thank you!
