Pigeon Island is a wonderful destination for exploring, wandering about and taking pictures. You land in a lush, green, forest and when you follow the path you will soon find yourself on a rocky beach, surrounded by oceans and mountains. In the middle a big rock, on which on top – after a nice long…
The closure of Mad City
Mad City, home of MadPea Productions, startpoint of so many awesome hunts – which I enjoyed so much, in fact…they were the only ‘hunts’ I did in SL , just because of their storylines and not even for the goodies – is closing per 31th May. The reason makes sense, as QueenPea and CEO/founder of…
Ghosts of the Internet
It does not happen often that I have to leave Second Life and enter a different virtual world, in order to complete a blogpost on an art installation, but “Ghosts of the Internet” by Glyph Graves made me do it! Ghosts of the Internet is located on the LEA21 sim in Second Life as well…
Zombie-bombed
A few months ago, in December and January, I did some posts on photobombers and how sooooooo hard the life of an SL Photographer can be, when one is all set and ready and tataaaa: someone runs into your view and in some cases, stays there. The past week, the strangest photobombing followed me around,…
Marissa, Wolfman and a Beast
Yesterday Linden Lab released new starter avatars, the ones new residents get to choose when creating an account. Of course they are also available to existing residents, in your inventory under Library, Outfits. The new avatars are mesh and I was curious on how this would look and how much one can edit them to…
TitaNawak, Iceberg straight ahead!
Well, for the TitaNawak, a HUGE cruiseship, this warning came too late and it already hit the iceberg… I visited this wonderful place this morning, and even though it’s spring in my RL and temperatures are finally into 2 digits, I could feel the ice cold in France Portnawak. The TitaNawak is tilting over already,…
For Ever
Second Life is usually all fun and games. And then, last night it all of a sudden wasn’t. Just before I went to bed, I checked twitter for a last time and I could not believe Daniel Voyager’s tweet about the passing of Ever Dreamscape. Soon to be followed by his blogpost and a blogpost…
Red shoes and an old friend
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…
