It was all the rage back when Emma Gilmour of Sand Shack Surf Co. released her Bloom Doll avatars. I love Blythe dolls and quickly fell for the Second Life version. But I never wore it, not once, because it always hard for me to wear an avatar other than the virtual extension of myself I had [...]

I found Not Everything is Plain Black and White in the Destination Guide. I went there wearing this cute red mesh dress, but found a few free goodies there – some black and white avatars and clothes to help you become part of this cool art installation. I had some editing-fun with these photos. Credits [...]

Here’s a sweet and playful look put together with the help of Mother Goose’s. It’s hard to beat the big wall of Lucky Boards for free skins at Mother Goose’s and they’re perfect if you like a look that’s younger and not so model perfect.

Acclaimed blues and R&B diva Etta James passed away Friday. Adan n Eve released a wonderful tribute shape and skin this weekend. I prefer my own shape, however, so I let it inspire me, but ultimately went with my own shape for these images. If you’re not familiar with the music of Etta James, you [...]

I love the mole on this skin. It’s such a nice detail. While I was exploring the Grid for a sporty place to snap a photo for this entry, I happened on TT Enterprises. This is a great place to go if you’re looking for something to do with friends or on a date. The [...]

I don’t tend to go for party looks in Second Life, but sometimes you gotta let your hair down and hit a club. This striped, sheer dress is a great find in the Marketplace. The pack also brings an orange version. I was tempted to edit the straps around the shoulder areas, but this is [...]

On January 18 many websites, including Reddit and Boing Boing, are going dark in protest of SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) and PIPA (Protect IP Act), two dangerous bills that would dramatically alter the internet landscape and create a punishing censorship regime in ill-attempts at stopping copyright infringement. To learn more, watch the video below. Second Mode will go [...]

In my regular human avatar, I’m very attached to my shape and skin. One of the fun aspects of blogging freebies exclusively is changing it all up just putting on the great free items you find. I love this look, which is nothing like my real or usual virtual self. Credits Shape: mine Skin: Moonbeam [...]

One of the best freebies in Second Life is the avatar shape. You may opt to buy one and you can certainly find many designer free ones, but I recommend making your own. Unfortunately, many designers make poor shapes that are badly out of scale and proportion. I’ve picked up a number of free shapes [...]

There are a some myths out there about money and Second Life. One is that it’s impossible to enjoy Second Life without spending real-life money. Another is that buying items in Second Life is stupid because it’s not real, it’s digital, or just a hobby. When it comes to money in Second Life, there are [...]

One of my teeny tiny pet peeves is when people harp about Second Life being a game. This is often followed by declarations that games should not be taken seriously. Therefore, Second Life should not be taken seriously. I wrote in another blog that despite certain statistics about the web and other things geek… Facebook [...]

Indie Rose is closing and everything in the store has been marked down 50% or more. I picked up a few great pieces like this Vintage 50s Party Dress in Mocca. There are also 25 dollarbie gift packages throughout the store. It’s a lot of the same items in different colors, but all worth snatching [...]

It took me a long time to snap this photo on the bridge. It’s not often that I get to take snapshots with shadows. Turning them on makes my FPS drop drastically and soon crash. Once I got my outfit together and find a nice spot, I get into position, find a pose and windlight, [...]
