Last week I received a kind invitation from Liara ‘Kemicq’ Okiddo, to come visit her latest project Le Botanique, as she describes : ‘ A rainy day, a moment of Zen, a botanical garden.. Something different and immersive..’ It certainly is a rainy day, in Le Botanique, and very Zen. A lovely, quiet place to…

A return to The Cornfield, but not quite!
This week LL announced their latest feature in SL: ‘ Experience Keys‘. Rather technical and I guess a big step for game developpers in Second Life. I am not a techy and I am not a gamer, so after reading the official announcement..it went way over my head. Yes, lets not forget the only game…
Stand4Love – 2014
The past 3 years I have participated in the wonderful ‘Stand4Love’ campaign, organised by Editorial Clarity and Rico Mar, to raise awareness that it is still unbelievable not all countries, and humans for that matter, accept same-sex marriages and other forms of relationships (besides traditional man-woman). It’s sad we still need to fight for the…
Matoluta Sanctuary
This morning I visited and explored a new and delightful new location: Matoluta Sanctuary, which will have its opening to the public later today, at 10AM SLT. Matoluta Sanctuary is meant for horse-roleplay, and an important part is also to create awareness about the Spanish Colonial Horse, as explained in the welcome notecard: ‘ The…

Canadian Wilderness
Admitting, I have never been to Canada in Real Life, the closest I have been there was road trip in the USA Rocky Mountains including Yellowstone NP and up. So when I visited Canadian Wilderness in Second Life this evening, I think it matched my…..expectations. Mountain ranges around, green forests and wildlife. You can rezz…

Just a short post, inspired by Due des Fleurs to which I was listening this morning while doing exciting things as ironing and cleaning the kitchen…. The lovely headdress is the ‘Nouveau’ Headdress from Folly and available at this rounds of We <3 Roleplay (it has many, many options for textures and…
Cannot finish the missing
Happy Birthday Mom <3 ‘And alongside the path of my fathers garden, I saw the trees, high in the wind I was a child and knew no better Then that this would never pass….’
Herd of the Wind – UPDATED
Update of this post, on 8 July 2014, after I checked to place today for some more pictures I discovered it was no longer available. I have spoken to Mz Marville, the sim owner and this is what she said: ” The Herdland sim was intended to be a landscaping and roleplay exhibition of western…
SL11B – Happy Birthday to Second Life
Yeah, I am a tad late to the party as the official Birthday of Second Life was on 23 June, but that doesn’t mean I did not visit the eleven sims of SL11B! I have bene to quite a few and as every year it’s wonderful to see the creations and builds made by residents….

How was your weekend?
Over time, as it goes, my ‘weekend routine’ in Second Life has changed a bit. A few years ago I mainly spent my weekends exploring and collecting cool destinations for my blog, which I then used to blog throughout the week. A fun way of being inworld and I always enjoyed it a lot. I…
Posing with Alles, the life of an SL Model..
Every now and then Alles Klaar, a friend I have known for all of my Second Life and a very talented Photographer/Artist, asks me to pose with her for some pics. Of course I am always happy to hop on one of her pose stands, as the endresult of her shoots are never a disappointment…

Romeo + Juliet 2.0
I guess I am back! Was I gone? Not really, but the past week and a half (and maybe, in hindsight a bit before that already) I have been miserable and dealing with an ear-, throat- and sinus infection of (for me, not used to much..) epic proportions. I got antibiotics, painkillers and nose-spray and…
Noble goes Dutch – De Vesting
Upon logging in I received a notecard from the Noble-family, announcing the re-vamping of their home sim into : Noble goes Dutch – De Vesting. “De Vesting” is Dutch for “Fortress” and in The Netherlands we have several, well preserved fortresses with characteristic, picturesque, streets and surroundings – often with a wall surrounding the village….
