Hello from Vivara! I found this amazing new game hall that has both freeplay and skill gaming areas. It’s trussed up like a resort (and even has a poolside lounge!), so you can hang out at the luxury bar, go see a show, do some shopping (coming soon!) and take your friends to play Greedy and MooLoTo.
The other day I watched a Greedy tournament at Vivara and saw someone win 10k. Ten thousand lindens! That’s a lot. Maybe I should ditch my canvases and go be a professional gamer?
I’m wearing the Sunny mesh head from Genesis in this post! I wish it had expressions so I could wear it all the time. However, it’s a great gift head and awesome for making outfits with. As for a more permanent head to wear, I did find one, but you’ll have to find out next post what it is.
See you then!
What I’m Wearing
Genesis – Sunny Mesh Head (group gift)
Elikatira – Conclusion
Ryvolter – Mink Princess Stole
Blueberry – Rylai Dress [ a.e.meth ] – Lucky Smoke Cigarettes
Post – Laika Cocktail
It’s my birthday! I have successfully completed another orbit around the sun. Yesterday I was admittedly freaking out and wondering if I had accomplished enough this year. I may be lazy when it comes to other areas of my life, but art? I’m one of those overachiever kids who can’t get enough.
I’m at the Blithe sim today, which just opened yesterday for its new winter phase! Both of its sims have been turned into an icy wonderland. It’s absolutely beautiful, so you should definitely teleport there to take a look! It costs 250L to join the sim and access Blithe, but it’s very worth it.
I’m dressed in more amazing clothing from We <3 RP, which opens today! I feel so beautiful in this, like a goddess (feels like a theme this week). Zenith really outdid themselves with this dress and matching sleeves. And Enfant Terrible’s halo headpiece is amazing.
I still have more things to share, including furniture, so please keep your eyes peeled this weekend and next week!

Leezu has just released the Noell Sculpted Dress and it's fantastic. A friend showed me Leezu's tutorial website, where she shows you how to make the Noelle top texture. I tried to follow it, but got lost after a couple of steps (my own fault since I can barely navigate PS). But I'm glad I didn't have to make this dress myself, it's so gorgeous and includes a big poofy sculpted skirt and matching flower hat.
Shown here is the Leezu Noell Sculpted Dress in Champagne and Violet. This dress can be worn as a wedding dress or an evening dress. The hat is a great touch, I really wish more designers did this, or some type of matching hair accessory.
Here's an older release, the Leezu Ginko Flexi Dress in Orchid. Leezu's designs are fun & original, and I totally have a soft spot for big poofy gowns. This dress comes with a hair flower & 3 different types of skirts.
Thanksgiving in SL is like an early Christmas! Gifts galore from all the fabulous designers…. <3
Minnu Palen sent this gorgeous group gift of an unreleased skin (I think, since I don’t recognize it). It’s gorgeous, and it does remind me a lot of my fav Minnu (Gen4) skins but with a bit more detail and gorgeous eyebrows. O M G! Can’t wait for these!!
[ Left: Gift skin | Right: Gen4 ]
[ Close-up ] Sooooo purdyyy!!
I like the light blush on this skin a lot, since Moscow did seem to be a bit heavy on the blush/cheek bones shading. Glossy lips on these would be my perfect skin. Oh my god I miss the gloss… LOL
Join the MM Skins group in-world to get these. There’s a $250L enrollment fee but SO worth it!
The hair I’m wearing is Hal*Hina – Amy hair and it’s so adorable!! Only $90L per color, there was a small but cute collection there.
Stuff I’m Wearing:

Even though I rezzed in Second Life in 2006, the first 13 years of my SLife were spent on private regions. I bought my first region in my first year, so mainland was never something I paid much attention to. I didn’t even get Premium until I got my first Bellisseria home on April 15, 2019. Ever since then, I’ve been buying mainland here and there, holding snow land, bidding on auctions trying to get beach land, all of it. I love land. I don’t always love mainland chaos, but I love nice waterfront land enough to keep dealing with it.
So when I read the post about Gaeta 1 closing, I’m not even going to lie, my first thought was where the hell is Gaeta 1? Then I kept reading and saw they’re offering size for size replacement parcels and will work with owners to find something comparable. The second I read that, I went straight over there and bought land.
Gaeta 1 continent in Second Life
If owning land there is my ticket into the new Zindra continent, then I bought my ticket and I’m ready to move.
There’s a town hall Monday, April 20 at 11am SLT, so I’m hoping they give real details then. For residents like me that can move instantly, I hope Linden Lab lets us rush in and claim spots first. I’m not going to waste anyone’s time going back and forth for weeks. Just give me what was promised, a comparable parcel. Every piece of land I bought on Gaeta 1 is waterfront, so yes, I expect waterfront back.
What makes this fun for me is I remember when Bay City launched, and I remember Horizons too, but I wasn’t Premium back then. Now I am, and I am readyyyyyyyy.
The Adult land part does not bother me at all. I’m an adult. I also don’t think everyone is about to throw up sex clubs all over the ground. I think a lot of people will do homes, gardens, cute builds, and nice parcels like anywhere else. What I do hope for is some kind of covenant. No ugly visible ban lines, no giant prim walls killing views, no trash in the sky. Let’s start this continent off right.
This is not a fashion post, but I still need to say go get the new Margot tee from ISON. I wasn’t even going to buy it until I saw they were giving a free print HUD with any color pack. The prints are cute, it got me immediately, and now I own it.
Someone left me a comment with the link to the popular Bring Back Last Name Options jira, which I think is a good idea but it only really benefits newbies (or new alt accounts). I clicked on it to see if any new progress has been made, and came across a link to an even better jira!
Are you a current resident who does not like your SL name? Please vote for the Name Change jira started by a resident name Sexing Oh. I think this jira is better cos it benefits current residents like you and me — IF we wanted to change our name, we should be able to without having to start over with a new inventory or lose our rez date!
VOTE FOR IT!
The jira is actually several years old, since 2008! Right now there are 129 votes so the Lindens probably aren’t paying too much attention to it.
