But as long as you are with me, there’s no place I’d rather be
I would wait forever, exalted in the scene

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:

The pose edit menu was already a great way to adjust poses, but now you can also make poses from scratch and save them as .anim files to your computer. These poses can then be uploaded back to Second Life, making it much easier to create custom poses.

Spring is coming! I am at The Secret Garden, it’s a gorgeous garden full of flowers and springtime loveliness. Unfortunately, it is inside of a sky dome so there is no natural lighting, so I couldn’t get any shadows in my photos.
I’m really drawn to traditional clothing around the world, so when I saw this Breath of Spring dress from CHU-ING at The Arcade, I kept playing until I won it. I normally don’t go for clothing gachas, but this dress is so cute! The dress includes a color-change HUD so I can wear it more than once.
I am also wearing the new Polly hairstyle from Truth. I love these side-swept bangs, they’re the perfect length so they don’t clash with my lashes. The hairstyle also pairs well with the Breath of Spring hair pin from CHU-ING.
What I’m Wearing:
Truth – Polly
ANE Jewelry – Twiggy DROP Earrings
CHU-ING – Breath of Spring White Rare, Shoes Rare, Hair Pin Pink
Shag – Let Me Kiss You | These Things | Breathe Me (Platinum)
Shag hair launched last year at hair fair, so it’s really great to see that they’re back again this year with even more hairstyles. I really like the Breathe Me style and the fedora hat on the These Things style. The fedora is scripted to change the Band and Hat 5 different colors.

These pictures were taken with shadows enabled but I’m having such a hard time with that lately. It’s so erratic, sometimes I can do it, and sometimes I can’t 🙁
Remember the Mother Goose skins I mentioned a few posts ago? The lure of the fatpack is too strong so I ended up giving away the single I bought to a friend (the skin is sold no copy, transfer) and getting a fatpack! Yay!
This skin is not as realistic as what I normally wear, so I don’t know why I like it so much, but I do!
I am wearing the Fishy Strawberry Tube Dress and Waist Belt in this post, but there’s so much newness and colors available, I’ll have to do a separate blog post.
What I’m Wearing:
Fishy Strawberry – Tube Dress (Bubblegum Pink)
Fishy Strawberry – Waist Belt White
I’m sick this week! 🙁 Not feeling well, so here’s a quick pic featuring something that looks like it belongs to the The Weeknd’s Party Monster. I love Party Monster because of its story. Much like Phaseone’s remix of Breakin’ Bread, it speaks of someone who starts out in power, but his surroundings quickly overwhelm him and become his undoing.
I can’t seem to remember what this theme is called! I’ve seen it in Macbeth and Scarface as well. Does anyone remember? Leave me a clue in the comments if you can think of what that kind of plot device is. Thanks!

“Hey Gogo! Whey are you blogging maracas?”
I bet you’re wondering what Maracas are doing in this post, along with a Sombrero. I’ve been wanting to blog this release from BeetleBones for over three weeks now — but I never found the right outfit to wear a Sombrero with! Today, I just don’t care. I’m pairing it with this adorable December sweater from artilleri and also letting my pet Reindeer Chihuahua from Pink Fuel make an appearance.
There’s only 15 days left before this year ends, so I am trying to get my inventory into perfect order before 2012! I have a couple of (random) things left to blog, and then I’m d-o-n-e and organized, and putting everything released in 2011 behind me.
Shake your maracas!!!
What I’m Wearing:
Vive9 – Wang (Stone)
artilleri – December Sweater (Red)
Mon Tissu – Lou Lou Denim (Original)
Pink Fuel – Reindeer Chihuahua
Ju – Charlie Boots
Beetlebones – Themeory (Mesh) Sombrero and Maracas with typing AO
Very sensual look and pose. I love the colour combinations on the daybed, too!
