Did you ever buy a sign just cos it has your name on it? The Hello Gorgeous sign from RAMA will now grace my Second Life walls. Typically I would not pay L$550 for a pack of neon signs, but how could I resist this? For everyone that’s new here, Gogo is short for Gorgeous.
Teefy is back! I’m wearing the corset portion of the Cho Top from Teefy. I mix and matched items in my inventory to make a new outfit. Some of these items are even free, so you don’t have to always buy new things to have fun with your look. My friend knows that I love holdables, so she sent me a drink from Kreamy.
I found out that The Saturday Sale raised prices from L$75 to L$100, and even though that’s still a bargain, you can get even better deals elsewhere. I decided to expand my weekend sales shopping to other events that are still under L$75. Check out the Seraphim list of the weekend sales! The idea of weekend sales is getting a bargain for an item that’s older or a recolor. These events are still a bargain – 65L So Kawaii Sundays, 35L Sunday Sales, 60L Happy Weekend, Fifty Linden Friday, 30L Saturday, and more.
What I’m Wearing: Exile – Titania SIGMA – Beads Necklace Teefy – Cho Top Alaskametro – Eve Jeanshorts (02) Cae – Pearl Headband Witchwood – Pink Heart Sunglasses Kreamy – Coffee with rose (Ice)
I can be pretty hot when I wear a realistic skin, right? Don’t fault me for being the quirky sort that likes hand-drawn skins, though–I’m a painted skin appreciator! I love to collect them. But with this new LOGO mesh head release, I’m leaning towards photo-realism to bring out the product’s best aspects.
This is LOGO Mae, the versatile new mesh head available at Uber right now for about 500L. The product bundle comes with the head itself, several basic skins and makeups, and an animation and customization HUD. The matching body skin is sold separately for about the same price the head bundle goes for. You can basically get a new look for a bit more than 1000L right now.
This is a long and kinda technical review, so let’s dive in!
This super cute Exile hairstyle is available at My Attic for a discounted price of $95L per color pack! It is non-rigged mesh, so you can mod/resize. I’m keeping this look super simple with the new Owens Dress (mesh) from ColdLogic, and Xylia Pumps from Celoe.
What I’m Wearing:
Exile – She Loves You (Marone)
ColdLogic – Owens Dress (Watermelon)
Celoe – Xylia Pumps (Shadow)
Sometimes an older skin just fits better with the look I’m going for, so I wore my beloved Gem skin from LeLutka. This was released in early 2011, so it is older but not too old, yet! I have 3 favorite brands that I like to switch between, but I try not to wear the super old products (nothing 2010 and beyond).
How old is too old for skins? Do you stop wearing your “favorite” skin after some time has passed, or is it wearable for as long as you love it?
What are your top 3 favorite skins (or skin brands)?
What I’m Wearing:
LeLutka – Gem/HUSH-Makeup8/LBrows
Exile – In The Meantine (Vanilla)
Swallowtail – Flower Crown (Blue)
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!
As you may have heard, Squinternet Larnia passed away this morning. I’m so sad SL lost such a talented creator, but also feel incredibly blessed that she shared her talents with us for so many years. Rest in peace, Squinternet, may your lovely creations live on in SL forever.
My friend Khea Karas of Malt, released this gorgeous new Selena dress with a floral print today. It’s so lovely and goes perfectly well with the MAE necklace from Donna Flora. You can actually still buy Donna Flora items at her store, until tier is no longer paid and/or the sim goes away, whichever happens first. My deepest wish is for her store to stay on the grid forever, so I do hope people pay a visit and buy tons of stuff.
What I’m Wearing:
Pink Fuel – Harley (Peach)
Exile – Just A Reasion
BOOM – Nature’s Crown (Dark Pink)
Donna Flora – MAE Necklace
Malt – Selena Dress (S) Candy Apple
Flair – Fingernails Appliers SLink (Set 125)
I don't often blog skins that are still a work in progress because that's teasing, and that's not nice. But I wanted to share the new BeBae Fiona skin that Torie Senne is currently working on. I like it a lot and this is actually the 7th revision of this skin. I like giving feedback if the skin maker actually 'gets' what I want. Since I'm not all that technical I don't know what they have to do to get that look, so if I say 'hey add more shine', and they're able to do it in a good way, I'm totally happy!
I started out SL as a Brunette, but about half a year later, I decided that my avatar would make a better Blonde. I think that most skin brands in SL are better suited for Brunettes. It's very hard to find a skin that will work with all shades of Blondes, and even harder for Red heads. Brunettes have it GOOD in SL when it comes to finding a skin that will match the brows perfectly.
I know I switch a lot between Blonde/Brunette, but 80% of my hairstyles are Blonde.
Are you currently wearing the hair color you started out as?
