Exile – Meredith | Scene | Roselle | Meko (all in Candy texture)
This week’s release of Exile hair is so fun! My favorite is Meredith, cos it reminds me of Meredith Grey’s hair from Grey’s Anatomy. Nothing says happy like HOT PINK hair 🙂 I love this color so much.
I’m totally playing with the SMILE emote today cos I think it’s cute when used in still pictures but I hate when people wear the ~smile~ attachment in-world. To me when people wear that attachment or when they type out ~smile~ it’s not friendly, it’s creepy!!! 🙂 <– acceptable but –> ~smiles~ is not!
I’ve been wearing this bikini all week, but I kept delaying doing proper front/back pictures so I couldn’t credit it. So here it is, Hucci’s latest Le Grand Sommet outfit (which includes a long skirt attachment and belly gem) but I think it works great as a bikini! So sexy. I promised Eboni I would show you guys a picture of my butt cos one side of the bikini bottom is slightly higher than the other. How sexy is that?
One last picture, cos I really like this emote. And check out the Hucci bikini!
Second Life just unveiled a new black and blue logo! Do you like it? I’m quite shocked at that they left the old teal green color behind – and decided to go with a generic bright blue. The explanation on the official blog announcement sounds nice and generic – the sky’s the limit!
I’ve always thought that the teal green color from the old logo was a nod to the name and Linden tree. Trees are green and soothing. Please take a vote below, and let me know if you like the old logo or the new logo!
Did you know that Truth has a website? I think all SL brands should have a web presence, to keep customers updated on products and let them view new releases and refer to old releases all in one place. I like that Truth has been updating his site with every new release and also includes links to purchase on XSTREETSL.
Of course, you can always purchase in-world at Truth Hair island.
SINdecade has recently released the new Fluke skin line!! The makeups are so pretty and I love the eyes, they're one of the nicest I've seen in SL. I've uploaded some images provided by the creator, Trin Trevellion below:
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.
If you were a fan of D!FF (which closed down last year), you will be a fan of Fresh Trash because Itny Lisle and Daniella Tobias have teamed up again to create this new brand. Fresh Trash launches with an assortment of tops, jeans, and hair accessories.
I am wearing…
Fresh Trash – N42 Tank (Rose) Fresh Trash – Basic Jeans (White) Fresh Trash – Large Flower Headband (adorable and color-changeable!) Fresh Trash – Block Ballerina outfit (Pink) Fresh Trash – Bowton Tee (Teal)
Truth hair – Micah, Tallulah, Paloma, and Harper in Almond texture.
New Truth hair!! I’m liking this week’s release a lot, and enjoying all the new hair textures. You can find these new styles and more on the new Truth Hair sim.
I was digging around in my skins folder and found a stray skin simply labeled ‘Maya Prototype’ – it is one of the skins that Desidelia Vella is working on! This skin will be a new skin line at Free Speerit, whenever she gets around to completing it. It’s one of my favorite faces — so I’m hoping to see it released soon!
Ohhh…… you have my encouragement to bug Desidelia about it too! Send her IM’s tell her to H-U-R-R-Y!
Where is the skin from?
