The SL9B sims (finally!) opened their doors for everybody last night! This was also the start for lots of other opening events allover the grid. I spent my evening in Ambrosia, where DJ Venus had the honour to play her awesome set in a grand opening-party. Phil, the club-owner, showed pictures from past times on…

SL9B – Press Preview Day
Last night the SL9B opened for the bloggers/press, giving us the opportunity to explore and take pics before the crowds come in, something I really appreciate. Unfortunately I did not have the time last night, but today I took some hours off work and hurried over to have a look around! I went to see…
Kayaking @ Mojo Surf Point
Of all the activities and sports you can do in Second Life, I don’t think I have ever gotten into a kayak. And since there is a first time for everything, I could not resist trying it out on Mojo Surf Point when I went there to check this new beach out. They offer, besides…
The Inevitability of Fate – by Rose Borchovski
This morning I spent quite some time wandering around in the art installation The Inevitability of Fate – by Rose Borchovski. The description in the Destionation Guide says: ‘In this art installation from Rose Borchovski, you’ll venture to an emotional and immersive art-landscape about the story of Angry Beth and the child Lot during a…
The small things
Or better, the small places! I mean…I was exploring a bit today, been to the ‘big’places that are in Destination Guide or otherwise popular and had a good time. Then suddenly, via all kind of tp’s and LM’s I was in Auggers Gallery – where they have some nice collections of SL pics on display…
A Year In The Life Of An Avatar
Ah, no..this is not about a year of Caitlin, but it is the title of the latest art exhibition of Fuschia Nightfire at the Avatar Charitable Trust! About the exhibition, text as given to me by Lillie Radek, one of the organisors: ‘Fuschia changes her avatar in SL more often than she changes her clothes…
Grass, butterflies, a robot and a pretty dress
The title of this post pretty much sums up my Sundayafternoon. While I should be packing my suitcase for travelling this week, I was on a gorgeous sim: Noweeta Grassland – dressing up my robotavatar that has been sitting in my inventory for way too long! Credits: Dress: -AZUL- Calypso Pearl Mock Blush- Blood Orange…
An Oriental Evening
Last night Sy suggested we visit China, as he found it in the destination guide and it looked promising. Well it was! As it appeared not to be only China, but also Japan on several sims, we had a real Oriental evening. The place is truly amazing and relaxing! So much to see, from ricefields…
InWorldz – Argonath Castle
Oh my….a blogpost about an amazing place in InWorldz and not Second Life! No panic though, SL is still my number one Virtual World, but for this build that Sy pointed out, I make an exception! Argonath Castle is what I am talking about. A castle made of so many prims, it would be impossible…
Forest Feast & Aught
Forest Feast and Aught are two places next to each other and when it comes to landscaping and the use of grass and flowers, these are by far my favourite spots! It’s just lovely to walk around, surrounded by nature and discover the detailed buildings and ruins, hidden in over growing ivy and plants.. And…
Gladiators of the Darkness
This afternoon we (Sy and I) visited some places via the destination guide, because we felt like exploring a bit! We ended up on the Gaia Woodland sim, in a place called Gladiators of the Darkness. This is a RP sim, but clearly the groundlevel is not used for battles. There are several teleports with…
Just a pretty sea…
Sometimes you don’t have to go to places for buildings, gardens or impressive art installations to enjoy Second Life. Tonight for instance, I spent more than 2 hours in an arctic Linden Ocean, spread over 3 sims, with nothing but water and icebergs in the sim called Icebay of Laptev. No games, no shops, no…
The Wilderness – Leech
On 19 march SL opened 6 new sims for Premium Accounts with as theme: Wilderness! Needless to say I could not wait to get over there and check it out! The wilderness I went to was Leech, a beach themed place with some swamps, a beach (duh) and a jungle to explore. You can either…
LEA 15 – Invisible Cities
Saturdaynight Sy and I visited the LEA 15 sim, currently featuring several art installations with as central theme ‘Invisible Cities’. One of my favourite is the city created by Rebeca Bashly. On the arrival point you can grab a ‘gondolina’ to wear and to use to ‘sail’ through the greenish canals of what seems like…
Ionic Dream Seeker
This morning I clicked on a landmark in one of Pallina’s posts, as the destination seemed interesting. A place called Ionic Dream Seeker, which is the home of a collective of artists. I have to say…I did not actually see any art exhibition, because I got distracted by the place itself! Another lovely example of…
Message in a Bottle
Last night, after having danced for hours on the awesome tunes of DJ Venus in Ambrosia, Sy thought it would be good idea to relax and get some fresh air. What better than go sailing across the Blake Sea? We loaded the boat with wine (yeah so, it was Fridaynight!), got into some waterproof outfits…
