Lacrimosa, in stone


For some reason, Lacrimosa from Mozarts Requiem – my all time favourite part of the Requiem, has played an important part in my Second Life this year and seems to become a theme. I cannot get enough of this piece and often play it while exploring or photoshopping. Of course, I was delighted to see…

Let it be Lime!


This week’s Monday Meme by Strawberry is all about colours. The challenge is easy: take a picture of you wearing or with the colour(s) you like. Now, I like a lot of colours, bright ones…pastel ones…although often my avatar is dressed in white. I just like it all bright and happy. For Real Life that…

H220 – ‘Never run in the rain with your socks on’


In between parties on Saturday and of course exploring and taking pics on the 11 sims of the Fantasy Faire…I took the time today to explore a brand new destination, opened 3 May: H220. A watery, rainy sim created by Squonk Levenque and Miuccia Klaar, who also made the wonderful 2304 Rain which I enjoyed…

Fantasy Faire 2014 – opening today


Today, at 9AM SLT, the 11 sims of the Fantasy Faire 2014 will open their doors….well, portals, to the public. I’ve had the privilege of extra early access since this weekend and have been exploring and taking pics like a mad thing, while builders and designers worked their (in some case mesh) asses off to…

I’d rather be a hammer than a nail


‘I’d rather be a sparrow than a snail. Yes I would, If I could, I surely would. I’d rather be a hammer than a nail. Yes I would, If I only could, I surely would ‘ ‘Away, I’d rather sail away Like a swan that’s here and gone A man gets tied up to the…

The Fantasy Faire 2014 is coming!


In about 4 days, on 1 May, the Fantasy Faire 2014 will open its 11 sims and will run till 11 May. As always, the faire is a RFL event and creators will sell event exclusives and many proceeds go the RFL. Because I enjoy this Faire every year, as the sims are amazing and…

Spanish Wells, for art and sports


One of the sports, aside from my years of katanafighting, in SL that I really enjoy doing is surfing. It’s fun, it looks great and important: it’s not that difficult. On most surf-beaches you can also get a free surfboard to use, so it’s really something everyone can try. When I read Ziki‘s and Inara‘s…

Kittens Heaven, episode 4!


(Update 27 April: Kittens Heaven is now open to all!) Two weeks ago Isabelli Anatine told me she, once again, was building a new Kittens Heaven! I have always enjoyed the previous ones, and blogged about it in November 2012, March 2013 and August 2013. Kittens Heaven will, as it used to be, a chill…

Such a poser!


First of all: I hope you all have had a lovely Easter! Overhere, in Holland, we also ‘celebrate’ Easter Monday which is a holiday – for more eggs and chocolate… I have been a bit under the weather all weekend, after my sister’s cat showed me too much affection Saturday. I am allergic to cats,…

Please allow me …


…to introduce myself I’m a man of wealth and taste I’ve been around for a long, long years Stole many a man’s soul and faith And I was ’round when Jesus Christ Had his moment of doubt and pain Made damn sure that Pilate Washed his hands and sealed his fate Pleased to meet you…

Flat Ebbe visits The Trace


Why yes, I took Ebbe Linden to The Trace! Well, not the ‘real’ Ebbe, but Flat Ebbe – made by Strawberry for the Monday Meme. He is available for free on the Marketplace and as the meme goes: take Flat Ebbe to a favourite spot for a picture and let him know 3 things you…

Santaurio


A few days ago I received a notice from Jac Mornington and Romy Rosea that they have sold and handed over their lovely sim Baja Norte to Lauren Bentham, who will continue this wonderful beach for all to enjoy (you may want to join the new group for Baja Norte if you want rezz rights)….

Pino, Blue Beach


This afternoon I have spent on Pino, Blue Beach, exploring and hanging around. There is a lot to do and see, so a perfect location when you are in the mood for some wandering about, dancing, relaxing in the hot tub or just sitting on the beach watching the waves roll in and out! I…
