Where to Overshare: A Guide to Second Life on Social Media
Navigating the wild world of Second Life is one thing, but navigating the social media swamp about Second Life? That’s a whole other beast. And like any good explorer, I’ve done the hard work for you. I’ve lurked, liked, scrolled, blocked, and accidentally posted something to the wrong group chat, all in the name of…
3 Flickr Photo Contests you should enter!
Do you need inspiration for a picture or blogpost? Entering a Flickr Photo Contest can be a great way to spice up your creativity and may even get you do do something outside of your comfort-zone, with sometimes a surprising result! And as a bonus there may even be the chance to win something, be…
5 Flickr streams that deserve more followers in 2018
The last week of the year is always good for lists. Lists with best this, funniest that, coolest whatnot etc. Though I like reading those lists I am not a fan of creating them myself. My experience with ‘fav-lists’ is that mostly they consist of stuff I already know or follow and in worst case…
31 days, 31 drawings – INKtober 2017
Followers of my Flickr stream have seen my real life drawings in October, as I participated in the annual INKTober challenge. And it was more fun than I thought it would be when I started! No, I am not a great artist in real life, but I do love to draw and paint. Sadly the…
[Paper Crown] – The end of my reign
On 23rd July, Huckleberry Hax passed the Paper Crown on to me and to be honest I was not sure if I would be able to do the Crown justice. Specially after seeing pics of previous Kings and Queens and Huck’s way in particular – he wrote a poem, a story, that made me want…
Paper Crown Queen
Last night King Huckleberry Hax, who has reigned the past month as Paper Crown King, passed on the crown to me. OMG. I am a Queen now! The ceremony of the Passing of the Paper Crown was in a small setting, rather intimate and sweet. Well, OK. Huck showed up with music, wearing a (fullbright,…
Reciprocal
Reciprocal, one of those words I cannot pronounce out loud without breaking my tongue. Admitting the Dutch word for it (wederkerig) is so old-fashioned, I doubt anyone born before 1960 knows what it means! Why this pondering over a word I cannot pronounce properly and which is so out of date in my native language?…
Show your Halloween Spirit
Yes. A post about Halloween. By me. Shocking eh? Since I am probably one of the very few in Second Life who does not particularly like or even care about Halloween much. Anyway! Linden Lab announced in a blogpost by Xiola Linden, a call for photos depicting your Halloween Spirit. They will choose some of…
When life gives you pears!
Over the past years I started some groups on Flickr – with themes. Just for fun, so people could add their photo’s that fitted in the same theme and so create some wonderful collections for all to enjoy. While it was fun at first, it became a burden – specially the past 2 years. Oh,…
Pile-ups for playing around!
My hiatus is over. I have taken a month off from blogging, on purpose – but didn’t announce it as such. Every now and then I need some time without thinking about my blog, what to write and what pics to take. It was good, and yeah I missed blogging at some moments, but also:…
Ladies who lun….errr….drink wine!
Last night my friends and I finally got together for an evening of chatting again! Instead of going out for some exploring or sportive activity as we had done the previous time, I invited Kerena, Becky, Ylva and Kahleesi over to my humble home for some wine and snacks. Sometimes that is all you need,…
Failure to thrive – The Gray Child
This afternoon I have explored and enjoyed a new installation on LEA15 by Storm Septimus, called: ‘Failure to Thrive – The Gray Child‘. A wonderful, magical, place in a globe/sphere, filled with scenes and objects on water. Since it is built in a globe the artist strongly advises to use windlight ‘Places Las Legunas’ and…
And so, I was a real model for an hour…
One of the things I have had on my wishlist in Second Life, was to have my portrait made by Skip Staheli. I’ve admired his work for ages and always enjoy his photo’s on Flickr. Sure I can do my own pics, but I just wanted one of those beautiful portraits that Skip creates. Because…
Crestwick Island, have a seat in this sleepy town…
Thanks to the (as always!) gorgeous pictures by Skip Staheli on Facebook and his Flickr, I ended up in Crestwick Island today. A small, sleepy, working class town surrounded by the sea and mountains. Crestwick Island has a great atmosphere and it really felt like I was doing some shopping on a day off, while…
When I was a young Caity…

Meme instructions: Share a side by side comparison of your first blog picture beside a recent picture of your avatar. Don’t forget to share the link to your image in the comments and add your…
