What’s better than sparkly hair? FREE Sparkle Edition hair from Exile! This After the Rain hairstyle in a special edition pack comes in Blonde, Red, Brown, and Black. Get it for $1L (goes towards Wigs for Kids) @ Hair Fair.
If you’re like me, you don’t want your SL too perfect. A slight feeling of quirkyness to your online experience is more your style.
So what do you get the girl who wants her virtual world a bit artsy and hand-drawn? Why, the new Gemini skin from [ a.e.meth ], of course!
The Gemini skin set from [ a.e.meth ] comes with four system skin shades, PLUS an Omega applier hud. All Omega-friendly heads and bodies will be able to wear this skin.
I will begin porting this skin to the Kemono bodies next. If you wear another mesh head and want me to try and make an applier for that, please let me know in the comments!
Lipsticks and makeup coming up for all heads now. Thanks!

RIP TONY SOPRANO! I had forgotten this song played during the final scene of one of my favorite TV shows (The Sopranos). It has nothing to do with today’s outfit, but it was playing in the background while I snapped these photos, so I hope it’s stuck in your heads now, too.
This new My First Shirt from Monso is an amazing example of how mesh is better than regular sculpted prims! I didn’t wear shirts much prior to mesh, cos fitting the collar & sleeves were always pain, but now that’s no longer an issue! I’m pairing this shirt with the Nora Skinny Jeans from Mon Tissu, and some amazing new Cameo jewelry from Magic Nook.
What I’m Wearing:
Exile – About Last Night (Stefani)
Monso – My First Shirt (White) Size2/S
Mon Tissu – Nora Skinny Jeans / Flats No Loops
Magic Nook – Cameo Necklace (Deco) & Ring
SLink – Vintage 2-Strap Pumps (Blush)
SLink – Womens Medium Height Barefeet (Rigged S)
I love my new blog theme! I’m using DMS by PageLines, it stands for Design Management System and it’s the best theme/framework/dms that I have ever used. I’m so glad I made the switch, cos my old theme, Thesis 2.0, while it was fantastic for the past 3+ years that I’ve used it, the latest 2.0 update was clunky and confusing.
At first glance, you may not notice much of a difference, cos I’m still using the same layout structure with a larger banner image, two columns, right side bar, etc. The biggest change is on the back-end, where I can Drag & Drop everything on this theme, making it such a breeze to add new content. Also, my site is now responsive!! If you’re reading this on a tablet or a mobile device, please let me know how you like it! 🙂
Hello and welcome to my blog! Long-time readers already know that blogging is my passion, and I have no plans of stopping anytime soon. Over the past 17 years, my interests have varied and evolved, but everything you see on JuicyBomb is a true reflection of me. I’m thrilled to join the Got Blog! Bloggers Challenge. Through this challenge, I hope to share my thoughts on blogging and offer readers a deeper understanding of the Second Life blogging community.
When did you start your Second Life Blog?
I started my Second Life blog in 2007. My blog is nearly as old as my avatar!
Why did you start Blogging in Second Life?
My first Second Life blog was on a free platform, and it wasn’t a fashion blog. I just wanted a place to document my adventures in Second Life, so it was just candid photos and brief captions. Eventually, I decided to make a proper blog, so I bought a domain and started a blog called Gogolita. The name Gogolita was a combination of my avatar name (Gorgeous) and my favorite fashion style at the time (Lolita fashion). A year later, I bought a region and named it Juicy, so I rebranded to JuicyBomb.
Do you feel the Blogging community in Second Life has changed since you started Blogging, and if so, in what ways?
Back in the day, I felt that (fashion) bloggers wrote to share a genuine love for items they discovered and to connect with other residents on the grid. I used to know most of the bloggers in Second Life—not personally, but through their writings and being in the same groups and attending bloggers-only events. Designers were really nice to bloggers in general; they tried to be our friends, hoping we’d promote their stores. Now, some designers act like we’re their employees, setting requirements to be part of their blog teams. Even the bloggers appear to be more focused on meeting deadlines and promoting products rather than sharing things they genuinely love.
Do you think that Bloggers have a positive impact on Second Life culture and community, and if so, do you have any stories about that?
Where would Second Life be without bloggers? I feel that all bloggers have contributed to Second Life and filled the information gap when Linden Lab fell short. Additionally, our love for shopping and sharing that love on our blogs has positively impacted e-commerce here. Imagine Second Life without bloggers! It might have shuttered long ago.
Are you approachable as a Blogger by content creators that may have interest in you as a Blogger for their Brand/Store? – if you have review policies etc. feel free to include them.
Absolutely! If brands want to collaborate with me, please reach out to me in Second Life – Gorgeous Aurelia. I’ll blog about women’s fashion, home and decor, and landscaping items. I will also explore your region or promote a project that I find interesting. I blog about all sorts of things, so if you think it’s something I might want to highlight on JuicyBomb, let’s talk!
I dressed myself backwards today. For some reason, I felt compelled to wear this Untied Tie from BOOM so I had to find clothing pieces that worked with this tie. I didn’t have a dress shirt (not that I can remember) so I paired it with a very old Itimo Leather Vest from Armidi and a Black & White Promise Lace Trim Bra, also from BOOM. Doesn’t this look remind you of a casino dealer?
Elikatira has new hair out at Collabor88 and it’s so very cute! For a long time, after Elika stopped releasing frequently for ETD, I stopped wearing ETD hair (and eventually deleted my entire collection) but now I look forward to every new Elikatira release.
What I’m Wearing:
Pink Fuel – Elly (Honey) Pure/nolash (ltbrow)
Armidi Limited – Itimo Leather Vest (White)
BOOM – I Promise lace trim bra (Black and white)
BOOM – Untie Tie (Coal)
Tres Blah – Juju Jeans (Black)
I love brands that offer a multitude of options for their clothing! Take, for example, this See Through Dress from Shifuku. It includes a top, a skirt, and a full dress, all in one set. You can mix and match these pieces to create different looks or wear them individually. What I really appreciate is that all these pieces are included for one price, rather than having to purchase each one separately. Plus, the top comes with a HUD that allows you to change colors and textures – how cool is that?
Also, hello from the beautiful City of Portofino! Initially, I planned to shoot these photos at Umi, but when I arrived, I discovered that the region had been parcelled and surrounded by ban lines. Apparently, you need to pay L$500 to join the group to access the rest of the region. I’m not willing to give up a precious group space or pay to access any region in SL. Would you? There are so many stunning free locations available for photography – why pay when you can explore these beautiful, complimentary spots?
Hello, I have noticed you take really good pictures. I just joined SL within this month and you were the first SL fashion blogger that I have really admired. I downloaded your windlight settings and I am having so much fun with it.
One question though, Is there a way to disable the fish eye effect or the warping effect of SL’s view/camera? As when I tend to view upward shots a la 360 selfies, the edge of the view/screen becomes “warped” making my characters head stretch, the same when my character is in the far left/right side of my screen, it stretches my avi out. Is there a way to make it it “just-flat”?
