    LAQ 99% Sale

    During certain holidays in Second Life, you can acquire a mesh head for as little as L$10 or even for free! When I discovered that LAQ is offering a Black Friday Sale on the Era2 mesh heads, I teleported over to check it out. The Era2 EvoX head is available for L$10, while the full version is 75% off, priced at L$1,150. It had been a while since I last blogged about the Era2 mesh heads, so I took the time to become reacquainted with all of their features.

    Let me begin by saying that I hold a great deal of admiration for Mallory Cowen as a creator. She has her own distinct style and has been creating in Second Life for a long time. LAQ has cultivated a loyal following. For many years, LAQ was my go-to destination for realistic, youthful face skins. Despite my feelings for Mallory and the brand, my reviews will always remain honest.

    LAQ 99% Sale

    Now, let’s discuss the Era2 EvoX head. I was eager to try it on, especially since I could wear the new Paige (EvoX) skin from Glam Affair. I also noted that the teeth are now adjustable, which is fantastic! I have always wished to reposition the teeth to avoid them protruding when I adjust my face shape for smaller lips. Upon trying it on, I immediately observed that this EvoX head does not come with a HUD. It’s not a mistake; it simply does not include a HUD. Therefore, you cannot change the lashes, adjust the teeth, correct the skin texture appearing on the ears (which is a notable flaw), or utilize any of the animations included with the full HUD. If you own the full Era2 mesh head, you already have this HUD, including the EvoX head version. However, for residents who are experiencing LAQ for the first time, here’s a pro tip: Get the demo of the full Era2 mesh head, and you can utilize the HUD on the EvoX head. Thus, this L$10 sale is an excellent opportunity for those dipping their toes into LAQ for the first time and needing a functional head. In my opinion, it is a mistake not to include the full HUD. Even free heads offered by other brands come with complementary HUDs.

    As always, even though the head is EvoX and the skin is EvoX, the fit differs from that of a LeLutka EvoX head. This variation is true across all mesh head brands; the EvoX version is always… interesting. Sometimes it works well, and sometimes it does not. In this case, I found that it works reasonably well, aside from some texture stretching on the shadow of the lower lips.

    If you’re starting your Black Friday shopping early, be sure to check out the FabFree Black Friday Listing. Most brands are offering discounts of 50% or greater, which presents an amazing shopping opportunity.

    Wintertime in Second Life

    Everfaery Frostlight Jacket

    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.

    Wintertime

    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?

    Black and White

    Friends tease me all the time for being known as loyal to Truth’s popular Swedish blonde hair color (before the texture update). If you were to ask me now what my favorite Truth hair color is, I would say it consists of the top few rows in the blonde pack. I don’t actually know the color name anymore, as they no longer have specific names. We’ve lost a lot of information since the colors were moved into HUDs.

    This new Truth x Kiwi collaboration release features a cute bandana, which I am not wearing here. The sleek hair made it perfect for headbands, and I find myself in the mood for earmuffs. I began this blog post wearing a pastel bandana look, but then I decided to experiment with a color combination that I don’t typically wear, which is black and white.

    Black and White

    The Kiwi Co’s newest release, Ceres, is a megapack of casual outfits. If I were to say that these outfits look exactly as you would expect from their last brand, Blueberry, would you agree with me? There are numerous options here to mix and match with these items or other pieces you already own from both brands.

    Pixit has a sassy pose pack available at the current round of Anthology. Be sure to get it now before the new round starts!

    I just discovered my perfect skin three days ago, but now I have found a new perfect skin! Everything feels right in the world now that Glam Affair skins align with my style. Typically, I wear over a dozen Izzie’s tattoo skin fixes, but today I’m wearing only eight; some of that includes just extra highlight and an ear fix. At the moment, I’m wearing the Liv skin from Glam Affair, available at Collabor88. I am delighted that I didn’t have to make many adjustments to the shading on the face.

    Bright

    I must be longing for warmer weather now because I’ve put on this bright Sunshine Set from Fashionably Dead. I don’t recall blogging about it, so it must have gotten lost in my inventory since I acquired it in August. This outfit is so different from anything else I own, and I adore how vibrant it is; the embroidery is my favorite part.

    Is Wings my favorite hair store right now? Yes. They are participating in the 11.11 50% off sales event alongside other brands, so be sure to check it out! I don’t recognize many of the stores on this list, which means I will have plenty of opportunities for great deals from this sale. Let me know if there’s a store on this list that you think I should explore!

    Glam Affair

    As soon as I put on the new Kristen skin by Glam Affair, I could tell it would serve as the perfect canvas for my tattoo layers. The skin’s smooth texture and bright undertone are simply flawless, a testament to Aida’s continuous experimentation with different styles. I love this current look! Although I made fixes to the skin with tattoos from Izzie’s, the end result is stunning.

    Oh my

    Perhaps I’ve been indulging in Once Human a bit too much, but when I stumbled upon these new blood splatters from Izzie’s, I knew they would create an interesting photo opportunity. After all, it’s October—time for werewolf bites and spooky fun!

    Hi everyone! I was super excited to try on this Nicki hairstyle from Truth. I like all of Nicki Minaj’s experiments with bright hair colors. This Nicki hairstyle comes with some special hair colors not usually part of Truth’s colors. You can wear the hair with fun prints or turn the prints off with a HUD.

    Today, I’m channeling a different music artist. Can you guess who? When I saw this bright red hair color, I immediately thought of Britney Spears in the “Toxic” music video.

    Also, don’t miss out on Anthology this month. My adorable dress is the Lucie dress from Jack Spoon. This dress is PBR, giving it a bit of a nice sheen. I did notice my aerola on one side was visible through the low-cut top, so I added nipple covers. Thankfully, my body skin from The Skinnery includes them.

    And since Halloween is just around the corner, I went with a red and black theme today. I’m also baking some sweets in my friend’s sweet retro kitchen! My baking accessories are the Chromaluxe Bakeware set from Waffle, which you can also find at this month’s Anthology event.

    Even though I seem to buy a new skin every week, I just couldn’t resist getting another one. This is the Cheryl skin from Amara Beauty, available at Access. I’ve added a lot of makeup tattoo fixes to this skin; if you want a step-by-step guide on that in a future blog post, let me know in the comments!

    Head over to Altair! This limited edition Morgana Dress, available for only L$99 during K9 Weekend, is a must-have. It’s available for LaraX, so I rushed to buy it. I adore short frilly dresses, and the holographic texture on this one is simply stunning.

    SEmotion Libellune creates the most charming holdable animated animals. This Tiny Kitten is absolutely adorable! It is offered in a gacha style, but if you manage to obtain the rare HUD, you can use the animations and accessories with any of the common kittens as well.

    I’m currently embracing my Victorian era aesthetic. The Rejoice dress by Toksik is absolutely stunning! I’m on the lookout for more intricate outfits in Second Life that offer built-in layers and customizable options, as casual wear has become quite mundane. My avatar resides in the Victorian town of Aurelias, and to blend in, I chose a color palette of navy, black, and a touch of baby blue for my outfit. I opted for the fatpack of this outfit, so expect to see me in various shades of pastels and whites in the future.

    I was genuinely upset when Toksik closed their Flickr account. I have a preference for following all my favorite brands on a single platform, and Flickr is it. I’m reluctant to follow brands on other social platforms like Facebook, Tumblr, or Instagram as they don’t serve my purpose for brand engagement or building a shopping list. Flickr is crucial for connecting with brands, especially for someone like me who blogs about their outfits, promoting them in the process. It would be beneficial for Toksik to consider returning to Flickr, as numerous brands that have left tend to return upon realizing the adverse impact on their customer base. Flickr maintains a robust presence within the Second Life community, notably among bloggers and photographers who help drive sales.

    Hello from the sandy shores of Sillywood! This adorable little beach and boardwalk spot is the absolute best for a casual walk or snagging some great pics for your blog. I’ve got a thing for beachy scenes in Second Life, and boardwalks? Yes, please!

    Sillywood

    So today, I started to tidying up my inventory a bit (I didn’t get very far), but I did find lots of cute items that I bought recently. I decided to mix and match some of my faves from last month with a few fresh finds from this weekend’s sales events. This Mattie Long Sweater Dress from Ison is everything! The color choices are fab, and it’s comes with two HUDs that lets you switch up the under shirt or sweater colors. And these Worn Block Sneakers Stickers Edt. by Semller? Utterly adorable and a steal during the sale.
