    Just in Time: Free Hugs

    Just in Time: Free Hugs
    JuicyBomb – Free Hugs

    I’ve been working on something new for a little while, and it’s finally ready.

    Free Hugs. Yes, really.

    This is a fully scripted, low-lag hugging system designed to feel natural and not completely unbearable after five seconds. It comes with a HUD that lets you adjust intensity depending on your situation, including gentle, comforting, and clingy.

    Clingy is, unfortunately, very accurate.

    There’s also a demo available in-store, which I recommend trying first. Not everyone is ready for this level of emotional commitment.

    This Free Hugs HUD includes everything you need to start hugging everyone in your Second Life. If you’ve ever wanted to give hugs or get hugs, this has you covered.

    Everything is optimized and easy to use, because the last thing anyone needs is a high-lag hug.

    Available now for L$499.

    There will also be a Free Hugs event on April 31st. Details soon!

    Get Free Hugs at JuicyBomb on Plaza Mercantile. This is my new shop on Ridgewood Enclave Commercial, and because I’m very excited for you to come visit, I decided to release this item exclusively here. You won’t find it anywhere else in Second Life, not even on my Marketplace store.

    Free LAQ Body Skins

    LAQ Body Skin

    I’m a bit of a body skin collector and often change them depending on what suits my face skin. For years, I wore Pink Fuel body skins; they were my favorite because the shading was not heavy, and the texture was smooth with few imperfections. Even though I have several body skins that I’m happy with (including many tattoo fixes from Izzie’s), I jumped at the chance to try the free Next Level body skins from LAQ. If you use Maitreya, Legacy, Reborn, Belleza, Slink, or Omega (appliers), you’ll be able to wear these body skins. I am currently wearing it on the Maitreya LaraX body, and it’s just as good, if not better, than any body skins currently available from other brands.

    I paired the LAQ 1.5 tone with my Glam Affair L005 face skin, but wanted it to be a touch lighter to match better. To fix this, I created body tint tattoos and listed them on Marketplace for L$10. If you want an exact match, like I do, be sure to check these out. You can easily tint the tattoo layers to match any face skin you’re wearing.

    Recently, I found myself longing for a smooth body skin without highlights or shadows; I was tired of using dozens of body skin fixes to achieve the desired look. So, I am overwhelmingly impressed by this body skin. Mallory Cowen, the creator of LAQ, is a pioneer when it comes to texture skins in Second Life. She was among the first brands to create realistic skins with beautifully designed signature LAQ faces. I wore them for many years and think it’s nice to incorporate a bit of LAQ into my current look. I have also been asking Mallory to create some EvoX head skins, which I am know will be a success.

    The generosity of some Second Life brands blows me away. Teleport to LAQ to get your hands on these free body skins.

    Bunny

    Bunny

    Easter is just around the corner, prompting me to don my favorite bunny accessories. This Bunny Bag from Everfaery holds a special place in my heart. I remember being in awe of Fever Fae’s incredible talent in creating the animesh bunny, showcasing remarkable skill throughout her work. If you haven’t had the chance to visit Everfaery, I highly recommend checking it out!

    In my quest for the perfect outfit, I shopped my inventory and realized that I haven’t yet featured this beautiful Himeko Dress from Hime*Dream on my blog! It’s a good reminder that occasionally revisiting our virtual closet can lead us to rediscover some hidden gems we might have overlooked.

    Additionally, I created a new Coastal Day Cycle. This one showcases delightful transitions from sunrise to sunset, complete with a serene nighttime setting adorned with twinkling stars. You can purchase the JuicyBomb Coastal Day Cycle on Marketplace!

    Sweet Melody

    Sweet Melody

    Hello from Aurelias! We’re adding touches of Spring to the town square, and the centerpiece is this beautiful Blooming Grand Piano from Dust Bunny. Add your photos to the Aurelias Flickr group to be selected for the group cover. I love seeing the region through your eyes.

    Follow me on Twitter! @gogolita

    I’m wearing the new Ubon head from LeLutka. It’s slightly different than Kaya, but I think I’m ready to move on. I spent days modifying my shape to my liking; it’s a work in progress. I shared this raw screenshot on Twitter a few days ago. I love the HD brows so much, and this is the first time I’m undecided between the really thin HD brows or the one I normally wear, the less thin one. They both work so well for this head. I normally only like the bottom two, the rest are way too bushy and thick for me.

    Sweet Melody

    I’ve been attending the Concierge and Land User Group meetings and they’re so lively and interesting. I started going to be more informed about upcoming land changes and to give feedback. Wendi Linden & Vix Linden were such great hosts. Here’s the schedule for the meeting — see you at the next one!

    I already know a lot about Second Life land, maybe too much. I’m obsessed with regions, Linden Homes, and mainland (even though mainland is my least favorite land product). Recently I learned that some residents don’t utilize the 10% group land bonus because they don’t understand it. I’m currently holding a piece of mainland, and with the group bonus, I can donate my extra tier to my friend. If every Premium member (who doesn’t own a Linden Home) deeds their tier to group, they would have a little extra to donate to a public project or acquire more land. If you own a big enough parcel of mainland, where the 10% bonus is 512sqm or more, you could use that extra to get a Linden Home.

    If you find land stuff interesting, let me know in the comments. I’m happy to share some tips & tricks to maximize your land-owning experience without spending extra money.

    What I’m Wearing:
    LeLutka – Ubon Mesh Head
    Exile – Elia
    MVT – Lady Fashionista bag (White)
    Tetra – Bella Dress
    Tetra – Off-Shoulder Cardigan
    Ingenue – Olivia Heels (Champagne)
    Yummy – Dainty Layered Necklace

    Psst.. rainbows for everyone! From now until September 1st, you can get a free copy of my popular Rainbow EEP settings at the Aurelias Rainy Cafe. It’s on the counter inside the cafe.

    Soft Melody

    Soft Melody

    Hello from Soft Melody!

    An Island Hidden in the sky.
    As you will walk down the alley the blossom scent will lift you. The soft warm wind will hug you so very gently. The chimes will guide you and the cats? Well the cats will ignore you because they are still cats after all…

    Soft Melody

    I saw a preview of this place on Flickr several weeks ago, and I just knew it was going to be gorgeous. Being here is like being in a beautiful Japanese city in an Anime. There are sakura petals gently falling all over and it’s full of life and so many cats! I wish I could take this region home with me and keep it forever.

    Soft Melody

    Lately, the term Metaverse has been thrown around by journalists as if it doesn’t already exist. Hello, I am in the metaverse right now, and it is called Second Life. We’re not waiting for the metaverse to happen, it’s been here for nearly twenty years. Show me another metaverse as complete as Second Life…

    Java Sprockets Coffee House

    Hello from the new Java Sprockets Coffee House on Puffin Head! I’m so pleased Linden Lab is going back and revisiting the older regions of Bellisseria. My favorite house is right next door to the Java Sprockets, so I am definitely thrilled by the new coffee house!

    Java Sprockets Coffee House

    When I read about the passing of Ebbe Linden this week, I reflected on all of the past CEOs that Linden Lab has ever had, and he was the most engaging of all of them. A lot of cool projects happened under Ebbe, so I think that the grid will continue forward pretty much the same, as long as the executive team still believes in the same vision.

    This is a post I’ve been waiting to write since last year. Last year, being a total Bellisseria enthusiast, I bid on two Relay for Life auctions and won them! I like that the Lab is so involved in Bellisseria and finding ways to engage the residents and hype up the interest. The auctions that I won are:
