Save yourself, don’t go to The Arcade. I normally skip rounds and avoid gacha events, but I saw something I wanted this week. Even though I told my friend I’d play maybe two or three times for these Rift Eyes from Avi Glam, I ended up playing 69 times at L$75 per pull. It’s five times more than I’d normally pay for an Avi Glam eyes fatpack, and honestly, I don’t even think I would’ve paid for a fatpack if it had been sold normally.
The thing with gacha is that it can be very addictive, especially if you want to win a rare and you don’t have a set budget, so you don’t have to stop. You can just keep playing until you win. I gave up on winning the Rare 2 pack on the first day after about forty or fifty pulls and decided to buy it second hand on Marketplace. Then the next day, when I didn’t see anything listed, I played some more. I haven’t played a machine with this much intensity in a long time, so it even surprised me how quickly I lost track of my spending or how fast I was hitting the buy button.
In hindsight, I should’ve stuck to my rule of playing only two or three times per machine, but I ended up going all in on two machines and playing way too many times to collect all the pieces.
Even though I find gacha frustrating, I get the dopamine rush it gives. If you win something you really want right away, it feels amazing. If you find yourself on the losing end, try to remember that you can always buy it later on Marketplace for a fraction of the cost of playing.
Eventually, I did see a few sets listed on Marketplace, but by then, I’d already spent nearly L$6,000 on one machine. Oops.
It has come to my attention that I have male blog readers!! ZOMG!!!!!! Please take this poll because I want to know who the majority of blog readers are! TY!
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.
Introducing the new AVANISTA Forums, opened to all Second Life residents, and especially iheartsl.com readers & contributors.
You can use this forum to announce new product releases and discuss all things related to Second Life! Play nice…… 🙂

SLink has just released the fabulous Desire Sandals with sculpted feet and a totally updated HUD with new options! The Slink Omni HUD 1.0 allows for resizing and 12 'favorites' slots so you can save your favorite skin tones for quick and easy recall.
Like the previously released Glamour pumps, there are tons of nail colors to choose from, gem options, toe rings, and metals. Included in this newly updated HUD is the feature to change Nail Art designs.
The SLink Barefoot is.. just a barefoot! For those of us that want more realistic toes without having to wear shoes, this new release from SLink offers just that. The foot also includes the SLink Omni HUD to change skin tone, nail colors, nail art, gems, etc. I think these are great for the beach or lounging around in bed?
Tp to SLink, there are lots of other newly released items not included in this post!
LeLutka has six new hairs for ladies and one for men! I’m a hair whore so nothing makes me happier than a big release of adorable hairstyles. The LeLutka blondes are so yummy, check out the new hair below:
LeLutka – Swift 3| Swift 2 (color-changing hat)| Swift (texture-changing headband)
I went to Dernier Cri to pick up the Superwoman top and was surprised that it’s only $15L (so cheap!) and includes a matching skirt. If you’re looking for something cheap and cute, visit Dernier Cri. This is a Project Themeory so it may be available for a short time only!
Hi Gogo.
You are looking smashing!
I know you love a good juicy gossip lollipop more than anyone, so here I go.
I recently had come into contact with a girl named “Tegan” on Second Life. (If you decide to spread my story, anything, I will give you the full name.)
I met this girl while I was at a virtual beach. Of course, sometimes we all love to bust out of our Armidi clothing and show our gorgeous carved Lelutka boobage. I guess this girl was no exception, but she lacked the “Armidi” and “Lelutka” parts. Basically, she looked a bit like a noob, by my standards.
I didn’t think anything of her until she started insulting me.
She kept telling me I was “whining” because I was making comments about lag and how I had crashed fifteen times during the last thirty minutes.
I decided to ignore her a little bit, she was just a noob. I didn’t care much.
Then, I typed to a sandbox to take pictures with my friend.
My friend wanted to send me the photos, and so I told my email address in public chat. Little did I know, this Tegan girl had overheard that I was tping to Skybeam Sandbox, and was lurking underneath, listening to the chat, while I pasted in my email.
I decided to let it go, and I logged off, a happy little camper, to go get some icecream.
Three hours later, still today, I log into my gmail account, which is what I used to set up my business myspace and also, my Second Life.
I looked into my outbox, and there are literally 46 messages (I counted) responding to craigslist ads labeled, “ANAL play for you and I”, “Lonely Mom Seeking Young Female Lover”, etc.
It is a person, saying her name is Tegan, saying she plays the game Second Life, claiming she is on her “roommates email”, and listing at least 12 different AIM accounts to contact her at.
I also have my paypal information and Wells Fargo information set up through that email.
Currently, from paypal purchases to Wells Fargo withdrawals, this girl has taken $10,000 of real, United States Dollars.
I am currently, right now, in the process of contacting the police.
Ami – Once again you demonstrate that the only thing your head is good for is a hat rack.
In your post, you say “Basically, she looked a bit like a noob, by my standards.” This, from an avatar that prances about Second Life in all her demo regallia? You can’t be serious!
You don’t wear radar? You can’t see when someone is within chat distance of you? You call out your e-mail address in publc chat? And from your e-mail address she was able to hack your Paypal and Wells Fargo accounts? And you post here before you contact the Police?
This is an incredible story Ami – Maybe you could sell it to Wired Magazine and make back that 10K in US dollars you say you lost. That you actually expect people to believe your story is another issue all together.
You are in dire need of inpaitent care Ami – and I hope you get some soon.
I am sorry, but in reading your post, I have additional questions.
“I met this girl while I was at a virtual beach”
“Then, I typed to a sandbox to take pictures with my friend.

How could this person track you down? Even if she knew what sandbox you were teleporting to, finding you there would not be easy – we are talking about a sim here, not a 512 parcel. You expect us to believe that this person could pinpoint your exact location within moments?
Millie – sorry about the email earlier! I thought you were directing the email comment at me, since I didn’t recall doing that, but after reading Ami’s comment, it makes so much more sense now, lol.
Wow Ami Great story!! Have you ever thought of being an Author cause boy the stories get better and better, your standards? I don’t think I ever saw you without a demo skin/hair on, thank goodness most of SL does NOT fit your standards.
Because your mind cannot grasp the facts doesn’t mean they aren’t true, you pathetic skanks.
Obviously you haven’t seen my many times, because I am a model and own skins. Yes. And I look better than you in every one. Even if I am in a demo.
So, I understand the digs about my avatar, because its quite obviously jealousy.
But to stalk down my posts and comment on them, well, that is just insane. Please, purchase a life from one of your little virtual noob hangouts and leave mine alone.
Kthnxbaibitch.
LaDonna –
Quite funny you find it hard to locate one person at a sandbox!
It’s not a whole sim, actually. It’s a not-too-large parcel of land surrounded my stores. Its not too hard to cam around and look for a persons avatar. Actually, noobs can do it! Ha!
LaDonna, again, because LaDonna obviously feels the need to investigate every corner of my life, and make a comment about it –
I’ve seen YOUR avatar, darling. And LadyCatherine’s. You stand in no place to make comments about it, unless that comment is praise, saying how incredibly gorgeous I am.
On to the next.
No, I don’t wear radar. I’m using 2.0 and have yet to find my radar button, and FRANKLY, bitch, I didn’t think that this would happen. You lack knowledge of the real world and the virtual world, so please don’t make comments until you’ve got your fugly ass head screwed on right.
Acting like a spoilt know it all,pathetic,girl you might want read back on your rantings and laugh,the only judgemental is the paranoid YOU.
WTG there’s two lives 1st and 2nd you obviously are the one who cannot differ between the two,let alone having to call innocent humans,bitches and skanks,i doubt anyone really cares what you think.
I would assume you are a troubled RL low-life:)) Greetings
Wow Ami…once again you’ve shown yourself up for what you really are. A nasty horrible piece of work.
And honey, you think we “stalk down your posts” to comment on them? LOL! This is a FASHION BLOG, not a place you come to share your crazy weird stories. Get over yourself, and get in touch with a shrink while you’re at it.
Well, do you need photographs?
What the fuck, because its fucking true.
Maybe you don’t understand what its like for someone to steal stuff from you, and the when you try to tell about it, warn people, some
Stupid
Ugly
Cunts
tell you its not true.
Doesn’t give you any reason to curse,swear and be generally jumped up and nasty towards others,call yourself a human being,yeah right,maybe you will find that a civil attitude will get you heard,grow up!!!Or actually get the faff out of SL if it aggrivates you that much,but on your mental level,understand this NOBODY GIVES A FUCK.And a female who swears is just pathetic call yoursef that? lmao yeah yeah!bah blah blah,droan,moan,i’m Ami and i’m a lil drama queen attention seeking skank.WE ALL IGNORE HER NOW:) isn’t there a MUTE BUTTON.

You are simply amazing.
Not to state the obvious…but maybe you should have thought twice before typing your email address in public chat.
How did she get her passwords? This story sounds odd!
Well, hello drama fest!
Ami – Good luck with that.
Millie – sorry about the email earlier! I thought you were directing the email comment at me, since I didn’t recall doing that, but after reading Ami’s comment, it makes so much more sense now, lol.
Bitch please WTF is this shit.
God Gave us IM so that the entire grid can’t hear us talk in chat. She should investigate it’s wonders.
Wow Ami Great story!! Have you ever thought of being an Author cause boy the stories get better and better, your standards? I don’t think I ever saw you without a demo skin/hair on, thank goodness most of SL does NOT fit your standards.
Blow me, stupid bitches.

Darling Ami
I have many things in life to be grateful for.
My health.
My friends.
and that I am not you.
Ami seriously chill out….this story had no relevance to gogo’s post at all. And I simply don’t believe you. Sorry.
Totally random and completely unnecessary…end of story.
Well, do you need photographs?
What the fuck, because its fucking true.

Any story that begins with
“I know you love a good juicy gossip lollipop more than anyone, so here I go.”
Sounds more like “LOOK AT ME!!!! LOOK AT ME!!!!” than it does “Don’t let this happen to you.”
So don’t go getting all holy here – you were not warning anybody of anything – you were just trying to get someone to pay attention to you.
And by what i have read in the posts here? No one really cares.
