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…

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,…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
Flat Ebbe visits The Trace
Why yes, I took Ebbe Linden to The Trace! Well, not the ‘real’ Ebbe, but Flat Ebbe – made by Strawberry for the Monday Meme. He is available for free on the Marketplace and as the meme goes: take Flat Ebbe to a favourite spot for a picture and let him know 3 things you…
Santaurio
A few days ago I received a notice from Jac Mornington and Romy Rosea that they have sold and handed over their lovely sim Baja Norte to Lauren Bentham, who will continue this wonderful beach for all to enjoy (you may want to join the new group for Baja Norte if you want rezz rights)….
Pino, Blue Beach
This afternoon I have spent on Pino, Blue Beach, exploring and hanging around. There is a lot to do and see, so a perfect location when you are in the mood for some wandering about, dancing, relaxing in the hot tub or just sitting on the beach watching the waves roll in and out! I…
Celebrity Hangout, Easter style
So. I am having a bit of ‘the Meh’ this week. Since Sunday my machine decided to hate Firestorm, something I have had with a previous release last year as well: I cannot take high resolution pics when in high or ultra graphics. The moment I hit the snapshot button I crash, with the lovely…
