    Bright

    Bright

    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.

    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!

    Spooktober

    Spooktober

    It’s finally sweater weather, and I couldn’t be happier! I’m absolutely loving my cozy Hooded Fur Jacket from Coco. The ad for the jacket is adorable, too, showcasing the designer sporting a hairstyle from Truth that I have as well—it’s such a cute look that I’ve been wearing it non-stop for days. I must say, the brunette Gogo vibe is striking! It’s a refreshing change from my usual blonde.

    While snapping pictures at The Bradbury Project, I couldn’t help but appreciate how much easier posing is thanks to Tillie’s Pose Stand with HUD. It allows me to take all my favorite poses on the go without rummaging through my inventory or fussing with a pose stand. In addition to posing, when you’re using the stand, you can easily rotate and move your avatar, save camera positions, and so much more.

    To share the experience, I created a quick video demonstrating the amazing lighting features and the backdrop that comes with this pose stand. Of course, you can mix things up like I do, using a standalone HUD along with your own light balls or experimenting with your own EEP settings for lighting. For just L$600, it’s genuinely been one of my best purchases ever.

    While some people prefer a simple pose stand without a HUD or stick to playing poses directly from their inventory, that just feels too chaotic for me. Prior to the bento era, I had over 2,000 poses saved in my Tillie pose stand. Then I decided I wanted more realistic fingers poses in all my photos, which led me to create a new pose stand dedicated to bento poses. I’m now up to over 600 poses, and I love every single one! After all, the pose truly makes the photo—it’s the small details that really make an image pop!

    Do you use a pose stand or pose HUD? Let me know in the comments!

    Independence Day

    Independence Day

    Hello from the 4th of July Block Party! This delightful mainland parcel may be small, but it packs a punch with its many photogenic spots. When it comes to Summer holidays, gingham print always springs to mind, reminiscent of a classic picnic blanket.

    To celebrate the Fourth of July, I’m rocking this Spring Tied Halter top from Fashionably Dead. To complete the ensemble, I’ve added the Blair Headband (4th of July print) from Sparkle Skye. Both of these items are part of the weekend sale at their main store, so grab them while you can!

    Independence Day

    Since transitioning to using a PBR viewer full-time, I’ve been tweaking the colors of my skin and body. I previously wore a body skin from Not Found but have since switched back to The Skinnery. The Luna body skin from The Skinnery is stunning, offering a myriad of options. I’ve reviewed it before, and was thrilled when they released the fabulous Body Bundle—it addresses several of my personal preferences, prompting me to give the body another go. Now, if only skin designers could offer face skins with neck options or none at all, it would make blending with our body skin choices so much easier.

    Sunday Coffee Date

    Neve

    Hello from Second Life! I’m really loving my outfit today with its soft colors, and even better, I got it on sale! I’m all geared up for a laid-back coffee date.

    I’m refreshing my wardrobe with Maitreya LaraX items, moving on from the old Lara model. I’m trying to shop smarter this time, knowing that these virtual clothing might not last forever as new bodies come out. Good news is, lots of LaraX clothes are up for grabs at low prices over the weekend, so reinventing your look doesn’t have to cost a lot.

    I’ve realized why I rarely wear pants here: many are too long and impossible to find shoes that fit without intersecting with the pants leg. But, Neve’s got these ankle-length Scale Pants on sale that solve that problem. They have a HUD that lets you change how long they are, choose different belt looks or just go without one. There’s a small thing though — the belt loop shadow stays even when you choose just the belt (without loop) option. Might be a little mistake?

    Little World

    Wishing everyone a happy Valentine’s Day from the charming nooks of Little World in Second Life! This region brims with photographic opportunities amidst its urban landscape, and the intricate lighting effects add a magical touch.

    Truth

    Exciting news for all you Second Life fashion enthusiasts—Truth, the highly celebrated hair brand, has made a dazzling re-entry into the clothing scene! A little-known fact is that this isn’t his first clothing release. Truth was originally a clothing brand before becoming a hair brand, and even created a clothing brand called Alt in 2016. It’s quite nostalgic to look back at my blog post from nearly a decade ago and realize I’m still rocking the same Maitreya Lara. If it’s good, don’t change it!

    Truth
    Truth – Kingston Sweater, Kingston Joggers

    I believe Truth’s foray into apparel exudes the same excellence and attention to detail as the hairstyles we all love. His latest offerings, the Kingston Sweater and Kingston Joggers, boast a spectrum of hues, from delicate pastels to subdued darks, catering to every palette. The cropped pants perfectly showcases your chosen footwear. Have you ever tried to find shoes that pairs well with long pants in Second Life without clipping? It’s impossible.

    Cupid

    Cupid

    Valentine’s Day festivities in Second Life are a joy, regardless of your virtual relationship status. As someone who’s happily hitched in the non-digital world, I’ve always roamed through this virtual landscape solo. Honestly, it’s never been an issue for me; I adore getting into the holiday spirit and dressing up for the occasion.

    My exploration last year took me to the delightful Dunk & Hug a Linden & Mole Event, a first for me, and it was incredibly fun. Donned as a charming Victorian lady, I had such a wonderful time that I’m tempted to revive that persona for this year’s celebration. The allure of that period’s romantic charm is simply irresistible to me.

    Library

    Hello from Scrooge’s office on Aurelias, formerly Scrooge and Marley, but as you know, Marley died. As the cold weather sets in, I’m on the lookout for the perfect pair of pants to keep me warm in Second Life. It’s quite a challenge to find realistic pants rather than just leggings, but I stumbled upon the fantastic Blair set from Ricielli. This set not only includes cozy pants but also a stylish crop top, and the best part is that it’s available in LaraX!

    Linden WelcomeHub

    WelcomeHub
    The WelcomeHub

    Hello from the new Linden WelcomeHub! It’s opening day, so there are lots of residents here checking it out, including mentors on hand to greet and help new residents. My friend, who was volunteering as a mentor, reported that she had already helped plenty of people. The futuristic and bright atmosphere reflects the SL20B slogan — “Our Fantastic Future”.

    The WelcomeHub regions also includes Linden Homes demo, Motown, Helios Casino, a Sandbox, and a few other things to showcase things you can do in Second Life.

    Motown in Second Life

    If you’re new to Second Life, welcome! Don’t feel pressured to go shopping, buy a mesh body, look good, own land, etc. Just focus on making friends, learning how to walk, opening packages, explore public spaces, and it’s okay to wear the free Library avatars. A lot of people swarm new residents with places to shop and help them look good, but they still leave Second Life cos they don’t have any friends or any reason to stay.
