Not something you may think about, when exploring Second Life: a reconstruction of the Union Carbide Chemical plant in Bhopal India, 1984 – shortly after the gas leak that caused so many deaths…I am old enough to remember this tragedy and all the awful images on television-news back then, but to be honest; in Europe…

1000 Avatars – by Gracie Kendal
When browsing the Destination Guide (well, actually I was checking if the ImperiuM is still in there and yeah, we are) I found an interesting art project : 1000 Avatars, a project by Gracie Kendal. Gracie Kendal is an avatar, and in RL she is an artist (Kristine Schomaker). Read all about her on her…
Les Miserables
“We do not claim that the portrait we present here is a true one, only that it comes close“ Once upon a time, when I was young and innocent *cough*, I wanted to become a teacher and studied French (and English). I always loved reading books, still do, and for my study I had to…
Back to 2007
So I spent some time in Waterhead, as it was (again) a quiet day with not much going on (other than that in RL I went for a long walk in the snow and fed the poor ducks in the river my old bread). Then, suddenly I thought I was back in 2007. The good…
Chocolate and Ice
One of the nicest combinations: ice and chocolate…In Risk City, you will find both, but in a way one would not expect! At the landingpoint, you will find a teleporter which brings you to themed Globes. I visited two of them, an Icey one and a Globe filled with Chocolate! W00t! It’s…
Pixelfashion – Size matters!
Yesterday afternoon, when flying around a bit, I ended up at Pixelfashion. Usually a shop in which one can find sexy outfits (for men and women). It is still a shop, but wow…did they do some Christmas decorations! It’s amazing and ….HUGE! Their sim is covered in a pile of enormous Christmas presents, a giant…
Syzygy’s Ice Beach
In the spirit of winter I visited Syzygy (what’s in a name?), a 5 sim region completely turned into a Winter Wonderland, but then….different than so many I have seen the past weeks! Of course there is snow and frozen lakes & waterfalls, but the decoration is less ‘Christmassy’ and does not feel so overdone…
Greenburg in winter
Ah yes, Greenburg. Without a doubt one of my favourite places! I have blogged about it before, the lush green lagunes, the dances, the floating islands, the fantasy creatures that roam around the sim…wonderful! I was pleasantly surprised this afternoon to discover that Greenburg has turned into a magical Wintersim…so lovely! Now I only wish…
Winterfest: Cross Country Skiing
Snow…although I had have a bit of enough of it in RL, I felt like a nice winteractivity in Second Life tonight! So I teleported to the 8 Winterfest sims and looked around for something I wanted to do. You can do all sort of things, the choice is huge! Sleighriding, skating, horse riding and…..Cross…
Ewok’s Epic Story: Resident Eternal
A few days ago, Ewok was watching me spar with Ellie in ImperiuM . Well, I thought he was just watching…turned out he made another set of very artistic photo’s and put them in his Epic Story, Resident Eternal! (Still have not figured out the storyline, but I do love the pictures..lol!)
Steelhead Steampunk
If you are into 19th century Steampunk…..The Steelhead sims (seven!) are the place to go! Amazing builds, great atmosphere and you can fly around in all privacy (well..I was all alone there, but maybe my timing was wrong?). It’s a great place to explore and take some nice pictures! I tried to read my future…
Isaac Newton’s Cannon to Orbit
Not sure how seriously scientific this place is, but it sure is fun: The Exploratorium! It’s a globe with a canon installation on top…you can sit on the cannonball and orbit yourself around the world, in a speed of your choice (menu pops up)! I shot myself into orbit a couple of times, but I…
Landscaping in style
This weekend I worked on our sim, getting it all ready for the winter season. It felt good to remove most of the autumn-trees, although I did like them a lot. But it is December so time to let it snow! Of course, one cannot just work with snow in shorts, sandals and tank top!…
Meanwhile, in the real world..
Cait’s operator is on a rl- business trip, so Cait won’t be in world as much as she is used too! Berlin this time, where it is freezing cold and apparently Christmas already arrived in this city :). My hotel is on the famous Kurfurstendamm, but unfortunately all shops are closed on Sundays :(. I…
Mysterious Waves
Into art and installations? Then Mysterious Waves is the place to visit! Nice mellow music on stream and best: a lovely, mysterious clouded sky. May take a while to rez once you land there, but the effect is amazing! On small islands you will find art-works, some with (meditation) sitposes and others to just watch…
Try before you die: The Damned Zombie Outbreak
Most people who know me, know I do not like games involving guns and shooting. Odd, yes. As the katana I use daily is also a weapon, and technically it shoots too. Anyway, guns and Cait have never been a good combination. However! In the spirit of ‘Try Before you Die’ I teleported myself to…
