The last days of the year were…odd. We, ImperiuM, had to make a very tough decision, one that left me with a heavy heart for some days. And still. After having ‘lived’ on our own sim since November 2009, we had to decide to let it go. The monthly costs of tier, the decrease in…
Cait’s World in 2011
The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2011 annual report for this blog. Here’s an excerpt: The concert hall at the Syndey Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 17,000 times in 2011. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 6 sold-out performances for that many…
‘Tulips from Amsterdam’
When it’s Spring again I’ll bring again Tulips from Amsterdam With a heart thats true I’ll give to you Tulips from Amsterdam I can’t wait until the day you fill These eager arms of mine Like the windmill keeps on turning That’s how my heart keeps on yearning For the day I know we can…
A Good Hair Day
Today, when looking for nothing in particular, I went to D!va hair – just to see what was new in store. To my delight I discovered (I am really bad in reading groupnotices and stuff, it is probably announced…) they have a great gift for their groupmembers, to celebrate their 25K (!!) members: a fatpack…
Leather, suede and sequin!
To celebrate the Christmas weekend in style….I treated myself on some great mesh-items – that I simply do not want to take off anymore! I fell in love with Maitreya’s leather leggings (mesh) and the new wedge boots in suede (also mesh). The fit my shape perfectly, Maitreya delivers the pants in standardized sizes and…
Kuru Kuru World – by Mikati Slade
Boxing Day and I woke up this morning , exploring an amazing art installation on MiC – Kuru Kuru World by Mikati Slade. As the short decription says: a future Pop Art Exhibition. It is bright, it is pink, it moves and it is absolutely worth a visit! I have used the advised windlightsetting [TOR]…
Dinner party!
This week of the year is overloaded with food, dinner parties and festivities – not only in RL but for me this year particularly in Second Life. When hopping around in between my sailing adventures…I ran into the dinner party set at La Galleria (where I also bought my cabin) and I just needed to…
My Cotton Blossom II
Ah yes. Since I tried the free sailboat LL gave to premiums last week, I think I am hooked on sailing. It is relaxing, sailing the Blake Sea (e.g.) and watching the sun set in the ocean, with only the sounds of the wind and the waves! How come I never did this before!? Anyway….
Bubbles in Wonderland
There are many, many places in Second Life that are dedicated to or inspired by Alice in Wonderland. I have been to a lot and not all are impressive. However, today I found one that is worth a visit, because it is fun, surprising and a clever build! I enjoyed exploring Bubbles in Wonderland a…
Zombie Attack
Monday afternoon, before dinner actually, I decided to give the zombie-killing one more try. I did that a year ago, or maybe half a year ago, and it did not end well. I am a disaster with a gun… This time I went to a smaller place, Zombie Attack, not a real big RP sim,…
YumYum and KAO
Every now and again I like to check places I have blogged about in the past, just to see if it still exists and in case of shops to see if there is something new I really need to have. Today I went to check up on Yum Yum. They are located in a lovely…
Willow Estate – Skating Pond
Last year I bought a pair of iceskates from Bax, but I hardly ever used them. What a waste! So on Saturday morning I dug them up from the depths of my inventory and tried them out on the little skating rink on ImperiuM Island. Lovely! The skates have a scripted AO in them, and…
Ahoy, Cap’n!
A nice surprise Friday morning when having my coffee and going through my messages: a Premium Gift from LL! So I hurried to one of the premium sandboxes to collect my gift: a mesh sailboat! Great, as I did not have a sailboat yet and could not wait to try it out. It came with…
What The …..Christmas Elf!
Every Christmas in Secondlife I like to dress myself up as Christmas Elf! Not Santa or Mrs Santa, I just prefer the Elf in a green outfit. My favourite designer for holiday outfits is Laura Boram, for What The… (her easterbunny outfit is an all-time favourite!). This year her Christmas Elf outfit is just lovely!…
Wellies!
After almost 2 days of landscaping in the snow, I decided I deserved something pretty! Heh. Actually I just needed some sort of excuse to buy the amazing (mesh) Wellington’s from GOS! Being Dutch and therefore familiar with wetlands and rain – I grew up wearing Wellies almost year round. Yes, I also had wooden…
C.c..c..c……C O L D !
On this cold and grey day I went to work on ImperiuM Island. Time to remove the autumn trees, the leaves and get rid of the cheerful green meadows, it is December and it is supposed to be ice-cold and snowy! I found some wonderful snowy Oaks and an amazing ice-skating rink at Heart Garden…
