For the 8th time, I have been asked to be an official photographer and guest blogger for the most awesome event of the year, the Fantasy Faire. Yes I had to look it up, and I’ve been doing this since 2014 and every year I look forward to it. The event that is, but am…
Summer of ’42
Step back in time and enjoy the summer of ’42 at the Element region (created and owned) by Sixdigital and Justice Vought, this brand-new region is too good to not visit. Summer of 42 is a coming-of-age film based on memoirs. During summer vacation on Nantucket Island in 1942, a youth eagerly awaiting his first…
Dear Nico – ‘Shame, shame, shame’
Hello dear readers! It has been a while since my last contribution to this blog, my apologies. It’s not that I haven’t received any letters from you, on the contrary. My absence had to to with an unfortunate incident involving a scrub bucket, hair dye and a crossbow. I might get into that story some…
Cloven Forest – Magical!
Over the past years I’ve seen my share of forests in Second Life, but for some reason I can’t get enough of them. Specially when they are beautifully landscaped and have a touch of magic! Today I visited Cloven Forest, which is described in the land information as follows: A quiet calm and stillness will…
A Desert Canyon and how I lost my shape
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…
White Binemust
Sunday evening, time to relax and prepare for another busy week. I’ve enjoyed White Binemust this evening before bed. A perfect serene, white world created by Bine Rodenberger. Have a great week! Slurl to Binemust
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…

Hello dear readers! With Valentine’s day around the corner, I am getting a lot of questions about how to surprise a loved one on this romantic day. And I get it. After all in Second Life shopping is a hobby many can afford and this makes it not an easy task to find that perfect…

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…
