The Second Life Friends List is the topic of Strawberry’s Monday Meme this week, and I have been given it quite some thought. The meme AND my friends-list both. My ‘friends’ list inworld is short, I have 34 people on it – 3 of them being my own alts, lol – and I like it…
Fantasy Faire 2014 – What a week!
Today is the last day the Fairelands are open, the 11 gorgeous sims filled with shops and wonderful buildings. There will be a live auction tonight – you can read all about it here – and after that the closing party, to send the Fairelands back to their invisible realms… The Palace of Tears will…
About being brave, yet on an island
This week two blogposts of bloggers I follow and admire, have triggered me to eventually write this rather personal post. The first one was from the ever so lovely Tempz Wendest and her challenge in doing a picture in lingerie – coming from a challenge by Lucie Bluebird (project EveryBody), followed by the wrap up…
The Golden Age of Russian Avant Garde
Yesterday I visited LEA8, and initially I thought – upon landing looking at the land information – I landed in ‘WE’ by Eupalinos Uganjin. Upon walking about I noticed the names of the parcels changed and when I saw work of Bryn Oh and Sorror Nishi…I knew I needed to do some more research on…
Lacrimosa, in stone
For some reason, Lacrimosa from Mozarts Requiem – my all time favourite part of the Requiem, has played an important part in my Second Life this year and seems to become a theme. I cannot get enough of this piece and often play it while exploring or photoshopping. Of course, I was delighted to see…
Let it be Lime!
This week’s Monday Meme by Strawberry is all about colours. The challenge is easy: take a picture of you wearing or with the colour(s) you like. Now, I like a lot of colours, bright ones…pastel ones…although often my avatar is dressed in white. I just like it all bright and happy. For Real Life that…
H220 – ‘Never run in the rain with your socks on’
In between parties on Saturday and of course exploring and taking pics on the 11 sims of the Fantasy Faire…I took the time today to explore a brand new destination, opened 3 May: H220. A watery, rainy sim created by Squonk Levenque and Miuccia Klaar, who also made the wonderful 2304 Rain which I enjoyed…
Behind the scenes of Paradise Lost – Meanwhile, in the Basilica…
Originally posted on Basilique:
It has been a while since my last Behind the Scenes report, but that doesn’t mean nothing has been going on! As you may have read on this blog, the performances have been very well received and gotten lovely reviews! Needless to say, it all makes me a little proud too…
Fantasy Faire 2014 – opening today
Today, at 9AM SLT, the 11 sims of the Fantasy Faire 2014 will open their doors….well, portals, to the public. I’ve had the privilege of extra early access since this weekend and have been exploring and taking pics like a mad thing, while builders and designers worked their (in some case mesh) asses off to…
I’d rather be a hammer than a nail
‘I’d rather be a sparrow than a snail. Yes I would, If I could, I surely would. I’d rather be a hammer than a nail. Yes I would, If I only could, I surely would ‘ ‘Away, I’d rather sail away Like a swan that’s here and gone A man gets tied up to the…
The Fantasy Faire 2014 is coming!
In about 4 days, on 1 May, the Fantasy Faire 2014 will open its 11 sims and will run till 11 May. As always, the faire is a RFL event and creators will sell event exclusives and many proceeds go the RFL. Because I enjoy this Faire every year, as the sims are amazing and…
Spanish Wells, for art and sports
One of the sports, aside from my years of katanafighting, in SL that I really enjoy doing is surfing. It’s fun, it looks great and important: it’s not that difficult. On most surf-beaches you can also get a free surfboard to use, so it’s really something everyone can try. When I read Ziki‘s and Inara‘s…
Kittens Heaven, episode 4!
(Update 27 April: Kittens Heaven is now open to all!) Two weeks ago Isabelli Anatine told me she, once again, was building a new Kittens Heaven! I have always enjoyed the previous ones, and blogged about it in November 2012, March 2013 and August 2013. Kittens Heaven will, as it used to be, a chill…
Such a poser!
First of all: I hope you all have had a lovely Easter! Overhere, in Holland, we also ‘celebrate’ Easter Monday which is a holiday – for more eggs and chocolate… I have been a bit under the weather all weekend, after my sister’s cat showed me too much affection Saturday. I am allergic to cats,…
