I love these photos taken at The dome by five minutes after! I went here to buy the wood fence for my sim, and was blown away by the lovely mini-city build, all inside a small dome. It’s so pretty, and definitely a great place for photos! I used Torley’s Windlight settings for these pictures, and didn’t Photoshop them at all. I wanted to mimic a light leaks effect sometimes seen in film photography.
See the rest of the photos on my Flickr:
Welcome to Aurelias! Sparkle and I are thrilled to introduce you to our enchanting town that we’re so excited to bring back. Instead of recreating our original town that we love so much, we have chosen to embark on a new adventure with a darker twist – welcome to Aurelias Fables & Fairytales.
Imagine a town filled with Victorian charm, where surprises await you at every corner. Aurelias has been transformed into a place where time moves slower, eagerly awaiting your exploration. As you meander through the forest, prepare to encounter an unexpected graveyard. It is a place that is both eerie and enchanting, where the wind carries ancient tales.
If you enjoy serene landscapes and nature, make sure to visit the swamplands of Aurelias. It will take you through lush and mysterious swamps, promising an amazing view with unpredictable weather – so bring an umbrella!
The Magic of Oz sim has these cute little food dispensers thing near where I rent my shop. I wanted a piece of plain toast, but the dispenser gives you a random food item for 20L. Sooo… I got Charred Toast first 🙁 After the second try, I scored a piece of Strawberry jam toast, but that’s good too!! Mmmm.. The toast has a HAPPY face!
I’m playing around with PS this morning, since I’ve just installed a billion brushes, courtesy of Ryker Beck 🙂 When I reinstalled my PS a few weeks ago, I lost all my brushes so yah… sadness! But I’m happy again, I’m so easily pleased 😛
Went on a small shopping spree yesterday. One of the items I got was this new skin from JM:Mai. It’s sooooo cute.. I <3 you JM:Mai Skins!!! I’m wearing the Byeol skin, but there are at least half a dozen different skin lines at the shop.
What I’m Wearing:
JM:Mai – Byeol 05 Skin
Kin – Blossom [White] hair
MS – Free hair Band
Honey Kitty – Vanilla eating cookie necklace
Winter Moon – Nautical Waste skirt
Winter Moon – Daitny Blouse (pink)
Armidi Gisaci – Unisex Classic Moccas (Baby Pink) (ps. I’ll never get sick of wearing these!)
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:
I know it’s still November, but I’m already in the mood for winter lights and Christmas festivities in Second Life. There are several things I look forward to during this time of the year, including Black Friday sales, the LeLutka Christmas tree gift, and clothing options that go beyond dresses that barely cover one’s bum. I need to find a way to wear this Everfaery Frostlight Jacket year-round, as it comes with so many color options and optional string lights. Everything is better wrapped in string lights.
To distract myself from the issues with the Second Life mobile app, I decided to visit Winter Love Valley and enjoy some snow. This region is simple yet truly exceptional for photography! I was especially impressed with the chairs by What Next; the poses are all great and appear very natural. I immediately messaged Sparkle to ask if we had those chairs in our region, and she confirmed that we do.
In all the years that I’ve blogged about Second Life, I have never felt appreciated by Linden Lab. Therefore, when I read about the secret invitation-only blogger’s Zoom meeting, I was not surprised at all to not receive an invitation. A few other bloggers expressed similar sentiments, as feeling excluded is regrettably nothing new here. Second Life gains a significant amount of free press from its residents; we take millions of photos and create videos daily to promote the platform. Second Life bloggers are essential to the platform’s success; without us shopping, buying regions, and showcasing our experiences online, brands would not be able to thrive here.
If you read the blog post I linked, you will see that in Brett Linden’s email, he mentions plans for even more secret meetings with selected creators. If you are a creator, consider how you can get on that list, as your competitors may receive invitations and obtain information that could significantly impact your livelihood before you do.
There’s more I want to express about how Linden Lab has handled these matters, but I am not particularly impressed with recent developments, and I worry about Second Life’s future. With tickets going unanswered and numerous hacking incidents reported on the platform, I question whether we are safe. Is Second Life in trouble?
Please share your thoughts in the comments! Do you believe Second Life is better than ever, or do you think it could improve?

This poll is inspired by Alicia Chenaux’s post about invisible pony riders and tips for aspiring fashion bloggers. Everybody should read it cos 1) it’s hilarious and 2) it’s informative!

I also found this hilarious illustration from a Flickr contact showing the difference between normal thighs and the more abnormal pony rider gap.
I know there are quite a few people with shapes like this reading my blog, so please leave some comments about why you prefer this exaggerated look? Does it offend you when people make negative comments about it?
Nymphetamine Boutique released a very sexy lingerie set called What Dreams May Come. I love the little neck bow included with the set, and a short ruffle skirt worn with the panties.

The What Dreams May Come set in white would be a perfect addition for a new bride because it’s sexayyyy!!
But if you’re feeling a little edgy, get black. I love black, black goes with everything.. and it’s classic.
