2019: Exploring, Parties, Fantasy Faire and Stömol!


Two days left of this decade! And as it goes, there are a lot of shows on television looking back at 2019 – so I got some inspiration to look back at my 2019 too! I have not been that active in blogging, not at all even…but that doesn’t mean I have not been in…

My ‘Belli Houseboat’


A few months ago, I think once they got released, I switched from my old Linden Home to a brandnew houseboat on the Bellisseria Continent. Just because I could! While I usually live on my mainland parcel, which I own since 2011, it is nice to have a pied a terre somewhere else, if only…

My N00b moment and Tralala’s Diner


This morning, after some shopping, I was unpacking my new purchases in peace and quiet, a disaster happened. I am not sure what I did, but all of a sudden my screen was brownish and I could not zoom back to the normal view. I tried to reset the camera position, but it seemed I…

Huckleberry Hax – AFK, all of it


Two weeks ago, on 16 March, Secondlife Author Huckleberry Hax published his 5 detective novels in the AFK series combined into one, 740 page book. This publication marked the closure of his series and of course this was celebrated with a launchparty in Huck’s Stoshchuckles Bar in the Nancy Redgrave Building. Huck asked me to…

Time for a new skyhome!


While I liked my skyhome as it was, I also felt the need to change it. Just because I can! I had been looking at all kinds of buildings the past month, but when my friend Huckleberry Hax showed me his latest creation, Dragonfly, I knew I found my new house! The moment it was…

2017, my Second Life year in pictures


With just a few days left before we enter a new year, I got a bit nostalgic and scrolled down my Flickr stream to have a look back. While 2017 has not been a particularly great year for some months, it is never a problem to find the good stuff that happened, the great places…

Christmas surprises


So I was going to write a Christmas blogpost, with all kinds of well wishes, looking back at 2017 and looking forward to 2018. But real life chores kept me busy (amongst other excuses) and when I finally had the time to login and sat for it, I got distracted. In a good way. No,…

Two Jacks and a Queen


It is a lot of fun to come up with pictures for my Paper Crown series, and everyday I am looking forward to think of something. The past week though I have been too busy in Real Life and have not had the time to log in, so there is a bit of a gap…

Paper Crown Queen


Last night King Huckleberry Hax,  who has reigned the past month as Paper Crown King, passed on the crown to me. OMG. I am a Queen now! The ceremony of the Passing of the Paper Crown was in a small setting, rather intimate and sweet. Well, OK. Huck showed up with music, wearing a (fullbright,…

A slow and careful return


Let’s start with keeping a long story short about my, almost 2 months, absence from Second Life, aka the ;TLDR version of why I have been gone for a while. After the Fantasy Faire in SL, Real Life hit me hard. Starting with hurting my back at working-out – which took me a few weeks…

A hint of Gay


This week I received the sad news that an old Second Life friend has passed away, in real life. While we were not close friends, we did catch up every now and then and ran into each other in various clubs and parties and events. Sir Ian Undercroft, a gentleman pur sang, proud of his…

The Black Tulip Camera HUD


Yes, that is right. I am going to tell something about a product! And only because I am very excited about it and think every Second Life Photographer will want to have it! The Black Tulip Camera HUD. I have never used a camera HUD in SL before, as I just fiddle along and accepted…

Empty


Real life has taken a lot of my time, and it is not at all the pretty and happy stuffs. Second Life has, for the past 10 years, been my escape and home away from home. A happy place without worries, just fun and friends. Being a social butterfly, to me it always was such…

Ten of my favourite SL photos (by other people) of 2016


Originally posted on What the Huck?:
Following on from my post on Tuesday, where I shamelessly self-promoted my ten most favourited own pictures at Flickr this year, I thought I’d look today at some of my favourite pictures of the year by other photographers. Disclaimer: I lay no claim to this being any sort of…

It is probably nothing…


‘While you are here, why don’t you do this check-up? It has been a year and it is probably all fine’ ‘Put your chin on that cushioned piece  and lean against the bar up there, now sit still, I told you it won’t hurt and it will surely all be just fine’ ‘You are doing…

It’s the season after all!


While I usually do not really blog items, I love to make an exception for this awesome prop with animations. It made me laugh out loud in real life when I tried it out, and since it has a really cool animation…I had to make a short video to show it – a picture would…
