Now that I have assigned caregivers for my baby, it’s time to lounge in this gorgeous new release from The Secret Store. I’m wearing the Fawn Bodysuit & Cleo Lacey Vest, both available at Collabor88. I found the perfect wavy hair to go with this chill boho look, it’s the Avalon style from Exile.
What I’m Wearing:
Chanimations sent a ‘Vain ‘n’ Lovin’ it!!!” gift to the Vain Inc. group!!! I have a good feeling about Chanimations winning the Best Static Poses category since, to me.. they are the best!! Check out these poses — MOST of the poses includes props & accessories and cute themes such as this one.
The ‘Vain ‘n’ Lovin’ It!!!’ package includes:
– three FeatherBoa poses;
1. Just a little vain…
2. some more vanity and
3. vain and loving it
– FeatherQueen outfit (includes Boa) in Black/Red
The Vain Inc. group is closed enrollment now so you can’t get this for free but check out Chanimations main store, it’s sold for a very reasonable price there.
I used to be an avid buyer and blogger of Stealthic hair, but something in 2023 made me cut back significantly. Recently, during FLF (Fifty Linden Fridays), I noticed the Pulse hairstyle and decided to check my inventory. Turns out, I already owned it. I decided to visit Stealthic to redeliver the upgraded HUDs to myself, and noticed that I’ve only purchased one Stealthic hairstyle in 2024.
Reflecting on last year, I realized why I had stopped buying so much Stealthic hair. It’s been a year and a half since the incident, so I feel comfortable sharing now. Stealthic had posted a bloggers search on Flickr, and I applied. Shockingly, within 5 minutes, I received an instant rejection from Blogotex. Seeing similar sentiments from other bloggers on their Flickr, I voiced my concerns on Twitter. Stealthic responded, claiming they “carefully evaluated every single application,” which felt insincere.
Having applied to numerous blogger searches, I was used to rejections, but they usually take 2-3 weeks, with results announced at the end. This timeframe shows respect to bloggers who are customers, the people who have been enthusistically promoting the brand for free. The instant rejection and harsh reactions from the Stealthic manager left a sour taste. Despite my consistent support and promotion of Stealthic hair, that experience made me lose enthusiasm for the brand.
My experience serves as a reminder: brands need to treat people with respect. Rejection is a part of life, but it should be handled with dignity. No brand is immune to the importance of positive promotion, and bad word-of-mouth can spread far and wide. Since some time has passed, I will start including all of the hairstyles that I own from Stealthic back on my blog.
Now, onto the main reason for this blog post. I attended SmokeFest for the first time, which I believe is another American Cancer Society/Relay For Life event in SL. This charity is incredibly active, currently hosting two major events in SL, including SL Fandom Con. Their fundraising efforts seem endless, given their significant endorsements from Linden Lab.
Inspired by the recent Olympics Air Pistol competition, I decided to buy a gun. The “Get It Done Gun” from Bueno was available at SmokeFest, and I couldn’t resist because it comes with a neat animation.

Minajunk has released new skins with 5 different makeups. These skins have the 'with hair' option for those that like the bald base with hair-color drawn on. Each skin is sold separately or inside a complete avatar package (skin, shape, hair, clothes, eyes, ao included).
I'm wearing the skin + outfit from the Ajisai avatar package. The hair is no mod, unfortunately, so I have not featured it here. I'm wearing SLink 'Lorelai' hair, which is no mod as well but is scripted to resize.

Update 7/6/17: I was contacted by a Linden and told they’re looking into this.

This post makes me sad. I don’t want to type it. I’ve been trying to avoid it by settling the matter privately or seeking help from Linden Lab on the downlow. But after several tries to get the office’s attention about what’s going on, I think the only real solution is to make this issue public. They simply aren’t responding because what I have to report doesn’t fit exactly into their usual categories.
Everyone knows I’m about art. It’s what I do for a living irl and I’m very happy with it. After a great bout of years in the art field, I got involved with Linden Endowment for the Arts thinking that would be great experience for joining a real, larger panel for an established museum. Unfortunately, that’s not what I found here.

A couple of days ago, I blogged about the new LeLutka Reflectons Eyes. I’m really sorry to everyone that couldn’t find it at LeLutka, but they’re finally out now! I think these are just dazzling.
Another LeLutka item I picked up last week was this awesome Jeniffer hairstyle, no doubt inspired by Jennifer Grey’s curly ‘do from the ’80s! I remembered watching Dirty Dancing on TV when I was a kid, I didn’t really pay much attention to the plot but I thought her dancing was cool.

Other stuff I’m Wearing: Tres Blah – Neato Sweatshirt (grey) and AOHARU – Party Stole (white)
