Let’s just get this out of the way off the top. I’m not happy with these pictures. They’ve been sitting on my desktop for days as I purse my lips and glare at them. It’s not just the graphics problems, which I’ll get to in a bit, but this set didn’t turn out how I [...]

When I started taking these photos, I had a concept in mind: Brady Bunch meets Addams Family. A bit of a quirky idea I admit, but as I was putting together an outfit to go listen to the DJ’s at Unhinged this too-cute-to-be-goth look came together and that’s the first thought that popped into my head; [...]

Do you know what most of the men in my life have in common? No you pervs, not that, well… maybe… but if they did I wouldn’t blog about it. What they really have in common is a lack of interest in shopping, or at least it seems so compared to me. Don’t get me wrong, [...]

When I first signed up to be an “official” blogger for the Unhinged Gatcha Festival I had no hesitation or reservations. As a general rule I don’t commit to things in Second Life, especially not blogging, because I can never guarantee my online availability nor can I predict when the mood to write or take [...]

I actually don’t have much to say today, imagine that. This post is primarily to show some of the photos I’m working on because I’m in love with how they turned out. I wish I could take credit for artistic vision, but alas this was completely accidental. I was standing 1300m in the air above [...]

Let me start out by saying that tomorrow, November 11th, is the last day of Baffle’s 55L closing sale that includes poses, props and even prefabs. Go now, you can read this post later. I’ll wait. Baffle on the Marketplace https://marketplace.secondlife.com/stores/14053 Baffle in Second Life http://slurl.com/secondlife/van/53/189/22 I’m sure I’ve said this before, but it’s worth [...]

I don’t think it’s overstating to say that Bryn Oh is my favourite SL artist. I’m fascinated by the way in which her offline art becomes digital creations and how she uses those same SL builds to create Machinima which she then presents back to the real world. I’ve been working on tackling my SL [...]

The seasons changed while I was away and I found myself searching my inventory for something fall’ish. Apparently that’s not a word, but I’m using it anyway. I suppose there is no real reason to change your wardrobe for the seasons in Second Life, but I was just feeling the urge for winter colors and [...]

One of the things that never ceases to amaze me about Second Life, and really the internet in general, is the way people form connections, friendships and communities without ever really knowing the person on the other side. Every now and again, you can witness the power of this phenomenon when people come together for [...]

The hardest part about returning to a blog after a two month absence has got to be deciding what to say. “Hi honey, I’m home.” No, that’s not quite right. It’s funny, there is this unbelievably strong temptation to share all the reasons I’ve been away from this blog and from SL in general, but for once [...]

I started this blog, and the whole Renoobed project, in order to find ways to fill some gaps that existed in my Second Life. It’s worked quite well in that I’ve discovered many new interesting things to do as well as met quite a few incredible people, but as I approach the one year mark [...]

I recently decided it was time to tackle my bloated and chaotic inventory. At one time, I prided myself on keeping it perfectly organized and under 10K (I once heard somewhere this was optimal for performance but I have no idea if that’s true). Hair: Long, Short, Up, Ponies, Pig Tails and subfolders within those [...]

I haven’t had a chance to blog all week, but that doesn’t stop posts from rattling around in my brain. Sometimes it’s like there is a cage match in there and I have to wait to see which topic wins before I can write it. I know already that this one is going to be [...]

It’s rare that I’m in Second Life on a week day, but as I was pouring my third cup of coffee and debating what to do with that last day of my long weekend I remembered that the Virtual Artist Alliance’s PhotoHunt Challenge has a Monday event at 11:30 SLT. I logged in and arrived just in [...]

I recently read about a new blog and photo challenge starting up called Single Frame Stories. I obviously don’t have enough on my SL plate so I decided to jump right in. This challenge is PERFECT for me because it will not only give me much needed practice with the technical part of my photos, [...]

This week’s colour challenge is Jonquil and though it feels to me that we’ve had a lot of yellow, I didn’t mind this color at all because the name alone makes me smile. Jonquils remind me of being a kid, probably because that’s what my parents actually called them. I think I was in my teens before [...]

Once again the odd patterns in my Second Life converge to lead me into a new experience, and in doing so, give birth to their own post. One of the blogs I read on a regular basis, Carrie Lexington’s SLife Fantastic recently had post about a weekly Photo Hunt Challenge. I was quite intrigued by the [...]

I spent so many years on roleplay sims and partnered that I don’t actually know a lot about the current dating scene in Second Life and I decided it was time to find out. Sure, I could stand around which ever dance or romance sim comes up first in search hoping someone talks to me, [...]

I was thrilled when I saw that this week’s color challenge was a green called Wales. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t normally get excited about green in general, but I’d recently picked up this grass skirt outfit called Wedding on the Beach from Boudoir that I thought would make a really fun photoshoot and [...]

I’ve said before that Second Life is a procrastinator’s wonderland, and luckily for me I excel at it. This week it paid off for me as I logged in Friday still unsure what I was going to do for this week’s color challenge of Aqua Island and found that my favorite store, Miel, released a [...]
