Bad Shoes & Faux Suede


Oh my….what is it with newbs and their struggle with shoes and feet? I spent only one hour in Waterhead Welcome Area on my Sunday afternoon and all I saw was people with sore feet, shoes from a decade ago – but not quite vintage – and missing footshapes… After looking at these painful feet…

Some things…


…never change! Waterhead Welcome Area, today – 8 september 2011

Imperial Autumn


Yeah I know. It is only the 1st of September and maybe we will get a bit of summer after all the rain, but I felt the urge to redecorate ImperiuM Island today and get ready for Autumn! With a bit of the mini-flu left (I apparently brought a nasty virus with me from the…

Planking in ImperiuM


I guess I had nothing better to do, on this rainy and gray Monday morning… (The Planking pose is a Platinum Hunt item from Tutti Frutti, just as the jeans I am wearing on the pics)

Combat and pictures


Last night we were delighted to see some members of ImperiuM returned to our dojo, as this is still a slow time and lots of people are on vacation. Being all a bit rusty, we did some groupfights (or FFA) just for the heck of it. Kill and be killed. Die and stand up. Good…

Mount Rushmore


In 1999 I made a wonderful road trip in the USA, from Colorado via Utah to Montana and I-don’t-know-how-many states. I have fond memories of Yellowstone NP, what an amazing place. Also, since we were driving along and it was not a fully planned trip, at some point decided it would be cool to see…

Artarra


This afternoon I visited Artarra (A) – a sim filled with flowers, trees, birds and surrounded by huge snowy mountains. A lovely place to hangout and explore. There is, besides the meadows filled with colourful flowers also a cave and a tropical-jungle-like beach. It started raining when I was there, figures! But luckily I was…

Coffee and a Croissant, please


Breakfast is my favourite meal of the day. It may be because I always wake up hungry… Since the summer in Holland is more than sad (it feels like it’s October already) I have not had the chance yet to have my coffee and croissant outside in the morning sun. I wonder if this is…

Marathon Caye – Wilderness


My two weeks vacation aka Annual Leave has started…it’s a bit weird feeling, and probably needs to sink in yet – it’s my first 2-weeks off in 3 or maybe 4 years! Since the summer in Holland is more than lousy so far, rain 24/7 and some more rain…I took a little break in Second…

The Pixel Bean Coffeehouse


Last night, just before I was going to try to get some dinner (I still can’t chew without pain, so I am not looking forwards to eating..), I got an IM from Don. He and his friends were sitting and chatting in their hangout ‘The Pixel Bean Coffeehouse’ and listening to Amy Winehouse songs. If…

Scrubbing the week off


Ah bless the Friday night! After a turbulent week with elbow-troubles, root canal misery and other assorted worries….All turned out okay in the end. Well, kind of! To symbolically scrub off this week and get all clean and fresh for the next…A nice, long hot bath and a facial mask did wonders! Bathroom: [What next}…

Second Life Railroad – Do the locomotion


Last night Ratt and I tried to spar some, but were obviously both not in the right mood. We needed to get out a bit, so I showed him my new home on the mainland and when we went for a walk on the Linden Road we discovered Spangle Station, really nearby my house! Spangle…

The Tower of Meditation


Meditation and me. Why not? I never tried it in RL, so I thought…let’s try it in Second Life! After some searching I ended up at the Skystage Cathedral where one will also find the “Tower of Meditation”. As the name says: it is a tower indeed! A high one! As I had some trouble…

Violator HQ


When I wrote in an earlier post that sadly my NDN Violator hair is not available in SL anymore, Argus was so sweet to point out a store called Violator HQ and suggested my  hairstyle might be there! So, off I went to that shop! It’s not the same creator as my NDN Hair though,…

Echooo’s Wonderland


A small parcel, filled with a HUGE shoe (its a shop) covered in strawberries  and a sweet shop dripping with honey…A very colourful and happy place called: Echooo’s Wonderland. It’s not massive and there is not a lot to do – other than posing on the fruit and make sweet pics..but I like it!

Let the sun shine….!


Today I finally got some inspiration to make a summer beach on ImperiuM Island – in the NW Corner of the sim..I have been meaning to do this for weeks! Luckily Ratt had some time as well, and he helped me getting a sandy beach (with a sculpt), he made a nice picnic-table in ImperiuM…
