Those of you following me and my adventures on this blog know I am a terrible gamer. I just cannot play video games that require moving, shooting, running and escaping even if my real life would depend on it. I do like how it all looks though and I guess that’s my problem: I love…
Topless Sailors, cruising around the ocean
The other week my friend Pepys wanted to cheer me up a bit and said he would take me out for the evening. Well, that got me all excited of course, not being used to that often, so when he told me to be ready at 11AM ..I was! All dressed up pretty and looking…
It takes all kinds to build a community in Second Life: Basilique hits 2000 member milestone
Originally posted on Canary Beck:
InnocentlyWicked Resident, a 4-week old avatar who describes herself as: “young and I just want to have fun’, surely didn’t imagine she’d be winning Caitlin Tobias’s inventory of poses from her store Pose O’Clock, when she accepted our invitation as Basilique’s 2000th member. 2000 members might not sound like much in comparison to some in…
Bandana Day 2015, remove your hair to show you care
Every year, since 2007, the annual Hair Fair in Second Life ends with a Bandana Day. A day to remove our hair, and show support for the charity which the Hair Fair is all about: Wigs for Kids. While I have blogged the past years about the Hair Fair, this year due to all kind…
#TBT – A Goodbye to The Trace
Originally posted on Cait's World:
The Trace is, without doubt, the most featured sim on my blog. I have in the past 1, 5 year been a regular visitor of this wonderful place and was always excited when the seasons changed, as Kylie Jaxxon – the lovely owner – has such an elegant and…
Apple Island, a raw exploring trip
By accident, while browsing the Marketplace for a necklace, I hit a ‘visit this item inworld’ button and since the viewer popped up the landmark I thought I might as well go see the item inworld! The store I was browsing on MP was Imeka and once I teleported over inworld, I ended up in…
And so, I was a real model for an hour…
One of the things I have had on my wishlist in Second Life, was to have my portrait made by Skip Staheli. I’ve admired his work for ages and always enjoy his photo’s on Flickr. Sure I can do my own pics, but I just wanted one of those beautiful portraits that Skip creates. Because…
Adiós Don
My blog-post yesterday was one of few words, published while in a total shock and with hands too shakey to be able to type, just within an hour after I received Grazia’s phone-call with the news I was so afraid of to get. Don (Don.Mill), my beloved, wonderful, witty, warm, caring, smart and very brave…
Last dance
Words fail me. My heart hurts so much. Don, my best friend, is no longer with us. I will miss him so so much. Rest well, brave, wonderful friend.
“You can’t wait for inspiration. You have to go after it with a club.”
The quote I used as subject for this post is from Jack London, not something I was so smart to come up with! But when I read it, at first I thought: oh hell yes! And then after a while, I changed my mind and decided it does not work that way for me. Maybe…
Dreamers – by Cica Ghost
Cica Ghost must be one of Second Life’s most productive artists, or so it seems to me.This morning I visited her latest art installation ‘Dreamers’ and as with all the works of this talented artist, I was delighted! Dreamers is placed in a half globe, or canopied as it is called, and is a magical…
Do you still keep the sugar in the right spot?

And then there was #ImmersiveDrax and #FlatDrax
Yesterday, while I was relaxing with my first glass of chilled wine of the week, I checked twitter and saw hilarious pictures of Draxtor Depres in all kinds of situations, wearing his OC Rift and being totally immersed. A meme, as it goes, fast and growing, started by Loki Eliot and soon followed by many…
Second Life, the place I visit because my friends live there…
The past week has been, in real life, very stressful – as I mentioned briefly in another blogpost. It wasn’t just the time of year and week of my Mom’s birthday (the 4th of July) which always seems to bring me in a melancholic mood this time, although that was a part of it as…
The 4th of July: Many years have passed since those summer days
‘Many years have passed since those summer days Among the fields of barley See the children run as the sun goes down Among the fields of gold You’ll remember me when the west wind moves Upon the fields of barley You can tell the sun in his jealous sky When we walked in fields of…
Ironwood Hills, what happened behind those rusty gates?
Of all my big plans to visit the SL12B regions this week, and blog about them, nothing happened. What did happen was too much real life, taking up all my time and energy and took away the inspiration to explore and write for some days. And still a bit. All will be fine, it is…
