Last week when logging in I got a disturbing notification. My shape could not be located in inventory and I rezzed like a n00b in some default form. Not a pretty sight I can tell you! Not panicked at that moment I cleared cache and logged back in into Second Life in an LL region,…

FlashbackFriday: Fantasy Faire
In a few weeks the Fantasy Faire will open, and it is not a secret that this my favourite event and time of the year! I am ready for it, ever since the last Faire closed in May 2020. Not kidding. I am also honoured to be asked, again, to take pictures of all the…
The wheels of Drune Diesel City
Once again a superb Drune arrived in Second Life! I’ve been a fan of most of the Drune versions, though the real cyberpunk ones where my favorites – the one we filmed in for Stömol for instance. This time Hera (zee9.resident) gives us Drune – Diesel City, ‘Dieselpunk/Decopunk’ city. According to the explanation given by…
Planet Idun
The other week I explored Planet Idun, a Sci Fi jungle planet. Great for free form roleplay and photography. I took some pretty pics (if I may say so) and planned to return for some more exploring and information for a blogpost. So I did tonight, alas the region is closed, open only to certain…
Golgothica, time to Elf up again!
I’ve spent so much time in all kinds of clubs and sims, that I almost forgot I’m an Elf! Not really, of course I know what I am. But yeah, it was time for some serious Elfing around and so I headed to Hera’s new sim: Golgothica. Hera (zee9.resident) is world-famous in Second Life for…

The Handmaiden Estate
While my country is in lockdown and now also has a curfew till at least 9 february, it’s a good thing we are able to travel the world in Second Life. I’ve done this for the past 13 years anyway, so in all fairness I do not feel all that much different with all the…
Cravone City
Some nights I just want to go to place and take pictures. Images to play around with in Photoshop (I am still learning!). It’s something I enjoy, both being in a cool place and finding objects or angles for a picture and afterwards trying out all kinds of stuff in Photoshop and see if the…
Back to the office
Once upon a time, before the year 2020, it was not unusual to have a day job that required you to leave your home and go to an office to work. Sounds crazy, right?But it is true, working has not always been sitting in your sweatpants behind a laptop at the kitchen table, while you…
The Antfarm Light Gallery

Then you need to make some time and visit Regi Yifu’s Antfarm Gallery of Light on the LEA 4 region. It is fun and beautifully made, just enable the experience and…
The Valley of the Pondering Eggs
Yes, you read that right: Pondering Eggs. In a valley. That is where I spent my Monday night and it was lovely! The Valley of the Pondering Eggs (A) is an installation by Num Bing-Howlett and Clifton Howlett, the creators of the Empire of Dreaming Books a while ago. The Pondering Eggs are huge, well…eggs….
Mystery Guests, a review of MAEVA Bora Bora
A few weeks ago Dirk Lemon, owner of the The SL Hotel Inspector website, asked me if I would like to do a review of one of Second Life’s luxury holiday resorts. Of course I was more than happy to do this, I love his website and who doesn’t like a vacation! Because a holiday…
Yet another New Year party invite

https://youtu.be/3XTNuhsb9ik Video by Caitlin Tobias New Year parties? Never liked them all that much, if I’m honest. All that standing around waiting for an arbitrary moment of time to arrive and trying to find things to talk about with friends of friends you’ll later on in the year cross…
