Hello from L’Arc-en-Ciel! The name means “Rainbow” in French. This is a French rural sim, but let’s just pretend it is the Scottish Highlands, cos I bumped into this Scottish guy there and he said I could take his picture. I asked him what he was wearing, but I forgot the outfit details, except that the hair is from Exile. Should I keep him? He’s barefoot too. I don’t know why I keep meeting guys in SL that don’t own shoes….
I’m loving this mysterious and sexy Missing You Mask from Katat0nik! This mask includes 3 different versions (Mask, Mask with Bow, Mask with Handle), so it’ll work with different hairstyles and poses. Teefy just released the most adorable dress ever, it’s the Julianna Fluffy Dress! I love the bow on the back of this dress, and pretty much everything that Teefy makes! 🙂
What I’m Wearing:
Pink Fuel Skin
Truth Hair – Coral 2
Teefy – Julianna Fluffy Dress (White) S
Ingenue – Delia Heels (Rouge)
Katat0nik – (love/bow) Missing You Mask
It was tough to select just a few of my favorite hairstyles from this year’s Hair Fair! I left a few out of my collage, cos my computer was having driver issues and I couldn’t snap them all without crashing constantly. Okay, so my usual favs… Wasabi Pills, Exile, LeLutka, and some new favs, Ohmai and Miamai! 🙂
I also picked up two adorable bandanas from LeLutka and Ohmai, they were $50L each, and the proceeds are donated to Wigs for Kids.
Want some more Hair Fair coverage? My friend Melanie has a great Hair Fair on a Budget! post over at her blog, XOXO Mela. Give her a big welcome cos I miss her face soooo much, and I’m so happy she went to HF with me.
What I’m Wearing:
Pink Fuel – Harley (Peach)
Teefy – Basic Knot T-Shirt (White) XS
Artilleri – Nyna Bikini (Blue)

Happy Mardi Gras! It’s a party in the town square at Aurelias. The region is decked out in shades of green, purple, and gold to celebrate. As always, thanks to Sparkle for making the festivities happen!
Juicy and I are wearing matching dresses from Alaskametro’s (St. Patrick’s Day hunt). I’m pairing my dress with this cute $10L mardi gras beads necklace I found on Marketplace.

Teefy is part of Collabor88 again this month, and released the adorable Milena Ruffle Blouse (includes Short & Long version) and Aimee Tailored Ribbon Shorts. They’re designed to work together, but can be mix-and-matched with other items too. Teefy participates in a few events, so if you can’t find any item that I’ve blogged before, just check out Teefy on Marketplace!
My avatar could live in these comfy Abha Sandals from Hucci for the rest of this SLSummer! The sandals are compatible with SLink’s mesh feet, and includes a HUD to change the thong, base, and resize. I had so much fun making my own combinations and matching the sandals to my outfit today!
What I’m Wearing:
Pink Fuel – Sora (Peach)
Truth – Virginie (Swedish)
Teefy – Milena Ruffle Blouse (Short) Sky S
Teefy – Aimee Tailored Ribbon Shorts (Sand) S
Hucci – Abha Sandals (Collection)
SLink – Mesh Feet (S)
It’s time to get a Flickr Pro account if you are a fan of the photo hosting service/social media platform. The Flickr commercial use policy has been in effect for years, so even though they have not enforced it in the past, they are now. It’s time to pay up or risk having your account terminated. According to this blog post on NWN, many Second Life residents with FREE accounts are in violation of the commercial use policy.
If you are a designer in SL and make money, consider Flickr Pro the cost of doing business, if you actually want to do business and not call it a “hobby”. As my friend says, even hobbies cost money. I’m surprised at the pushback from some SL designers and bloggers since Flickr is the photo social platform of choice for SL residents, and not even prohibitively expensive. It’s only $50/year! I’ve been a Flickr Pro member since November 2007 (proof below) and an SL snapshot addict with over 19,660 photos. I definitely see value in Flickr from the moment I started using it to cross-post my blog photos and saw that I could multi-task by promoting my blog and follow my favorite brands at the same time!
There are so many reasons that Flickr is superior to other photo hosting services, that it would be a huge loss for designers and Second Life residents if it shuts down. Would you support a service that you use for pleasure or for profit, for $50/year? Many brands in SL don’t even update their blog nowadays, so they rely on the social power of Flickr to share their new releases. And what will become of “flickr bloggers”, if they can no longer credit brands and post links? If you find value in Flickr, it’s time to go pro before it bites the dust.
If you want to remain a FREE Flickr account, here’s what you need to do to not have your account terminated:
