Instead of being out in the sun (it was too windy anyway) I dressed up all warm and travelled to Antarctica’s Vanguard Armed Forces (M). A multiple sim Roleplay environment, breathtakingly beautiful! On arrival one is advised to use windlight settings: ‘Antarctica’ for sky and ‘Ice-like’ for water. After I did that…it was as if…

Grand Canyon
In real life I have never been to the Grand Canyon, but it is on my wishlist! Luckily there is Second Life and I was happy to find out you can visit the Grand Canyon in virtuality! It is a great place for photo shoots, specially when you play a bit with different skies and…
Mea Culpa
Someone left me a message last weekend (thanks!!!), telling me I had to go and see Mea Culpa. So that’s what I did last night! Mea Culpa is an impressive store, with Haute Couture – fantasy style. The building and gardens that surround it are reason enough to pay it it a visit, but the…
Split Screen
Nope, this post is not about using online social media on splitscreens (as Hootsuite or Splitweet) but about an art installation called Split Screen, meaning two art installations on a sim. On arrival you are advised to set your world to midnight, for full enjoyment! I did and explored the two (hence the Split) works…
Orangelo – Pop Art
Fridaynight..and after a nice, long nap on the sofa I went to visit Orangelo (M). A colorful sim, filled with art! The texture of the ground is a metal plate, so this gives a completely different look and feel – compared to other ‘SL- lands’! It is a lovely place to wander around and look…
Magnolioideae Palace – Anarchy Island
The magnificent Magnolioideae Palace (what’s in a name, this is not easy to type!) on Anarchy Island is absolutely one of the most amazing palaces I have seen in Second Life! On the landing point, in front of the huge palace, cars and motorcycles are parked – as if there is a fancy ball going…
Milk Motion – Cupcake
Milk Motion (or Cupcake) is the destination when you a looking for a sunny – but not tropical – shopping experience! What a lovely ‘mall’ this is! A field with long, yellow grass and flowers, the shops are located in little wooden cabins and when you set your viewer to sunset this is not only…
Town of Button
Oh la-la! I ‘discovered’ this lovely cartoon-sim! Colourful and so unlike many of the other places you see! Town of Button is a cartoon-world, not realistic at all – including the texture they used for the ground – and filled with huge flowers, donuts to sit on (next to a cartoon-fire) and some shops where…
ZED
Nothing cheers me up better on a grey Sunday morning than visiting a colorful sim, filled with art and weird things. So this morning I went to explore ZED (M). It’s colorful, with a pirate ship filled with grass and butterflies, chess pieces and some funny poseballs here and there. Also, on top of the…
Doomed Ship
Having read about Doomed Ship a couple of times and after seeing some fabulous photo’s of it, I tp’d to this sim curious and kind of in the mood for some sci-fi environment. Doomed Ship is a roleplay sim, so I was happy to be there almost alone (spotted some green dots on the minimap,…
Torley Island :)
Torley Linden is probably the most famous Linden in Second Life. He once visited ImperiuM Island and we were so proud! LOL! Torley has, of course, his own sim – Torley Island (M)- where he creates and build…stuff. All of course in the well known watermelon colours: green and pink. I visited his place and…
Because I need to believe in fairytales…
“To this day, it is said, malicious animals poison this water after sundown, so that none can thereupon drink it. But early in the morning, as soon as the sun rises, a unicorn comes out of the ocean, dips his horn into the water to expel the venom from it so that the other animals…
Done gardening (for now!)
In real-life I do not have a garden. I have had one or two, ages ago and always like working in them. Specially in spring, getting new plants and flowers and being busy out in the fresh air. In Second Life I always enjoy keeping up with the seasons on our sim, ImperiuM Island (G),…
Farstar New Earth: Parallel Worlds
The Parallel Worlds on Farstar New Earth (G) are simply: breathtaking! On landing point (you enter the sim on ground level) you need to take the teleporter to the Parallel Worlds, to find yourself high in the sky in a surreal build of spheres, where you find the most absurd and magical environments. Fantasy creatures…
IDIA’s Flickr Gettr
What a wonderful experience: IDIA’s Flickr Gettr! Perfect to relax and watch beautiful pictures, in an amazing techical art installation! I really enjoyed this :). You need a shared media capable viewer (I am currently using with the V2.6- Beta), enable the shared mediaplayer and for best results I also pushed the graphics to Ultra….
Smile!
Yay, I am back from real-life….could not keep up with the blog, but maybe I will catch up the missing days in the weekend (and cheat a bit!). For now, I am looking forward to go back inworld and see if I missed something (besides my friends!).
