Fantasy Faire 2013 – Ravenshard


‘It’s a cartoon world!’ is one of the phrases my friend Ratt would shout at me when I got all depressed or too excited and so on about stuff happening in SL. He is right, ya know.. Today I visited the Ravenshard sim on the Fantasy Faire, and ‘it’s a cartoon world!’ Wow and yeaaaaah,…

Fantasy Faire 2013 – Crimson Fields


So many sims, so little time! Reason for a second blog-post today, as I am really trying to cover all the amazing sims of the Fantasy Faire before the event ends (28th April, so you still have time left to go have a look and/or shop). This afternoon I went to Crimson Fields. I must…

Fantasy Faire 2013 – Lotus Valley Dream


Oh my, another blogpost on the Fantasy Faire 2013, but hey..I can’t help it; so many gorgeous sims to explore and so many wonderful builds to drool over. And to think I still have not shopped there yet! Anyway! This evening I spent on Lotus Valley Dream, created and designed by Marius Inkpen (who’s art…

Fantasy Faire 2013 – Valley of Ish’Nar


Ah, Sunday mornings…lovely! I woke up this morning by the sun peeping through the curtains, shining right in my face. Well, that and the incredible noise of a couple of Ducks in the river under my bedroom window, f…ahem…fighting! The joys of Spring! I made myself my favourite Sunday breakfast: hot coffee in huge mug…

Fantasy Faire 2013 – Lumenaria


Today the Fantasy Faire opened to the public and what a wonderful day in Second Life it was! Asset server troubles and whatnot with a, for me hilarious, consequence: I tried on the free, low lag, avatar you can pick up at any of the landing-points in the Fantasy Faire and I have not been…

Fantasy Faire 2013 – Titans Hollow


Now, if there ever was a challenge for photographers…..Titans Hollow, created and designed by Elicio Ember from Gerridwens Cauldron, is one! A truly amazing build, a huge cave with the shop hanging on chains like lanterns. The trick to get a good pic was in getting some sort of light in the cave and it…

Fantasy Faire 2013 – a sneaky preview….


The Fantasy Faire 2013 will open tomorrow, but I am privileged to have a sneak preview – and today was the day. Together with Ginger (she is a an official blogger as well, check out her blog for Fantasy Faire items!), I visited the Magnificat sim,  sponsored, landscaped and designed by Alia Baroque, of Fallen…

Happiness is liberty


Earlier this week I ended up in a wonderful place, a new entry in the photogenic section of the Destination Guide, with the poetic name: Happiness is Liberty. The sim is tastefully decorated with a bit of everything: a long coastline with a sandy/rocky beach, a magnificent forest where you can easily get lost, field…

GOSH!


GOSH! is a, new to me, delightful place. It is the home of a gesture-shop, but besides that it is just lovely, serene, decorated and great for taking pictures. When walking around you will find sheep, stables and a barn. A farmhouse and cows! Also on top of the hill a snow covered ice-skating rink!…

Shall we dance?


When I checked out Azul this evening, I got a notice about a new release, I immediately fell for a wonderful gown in the colour ‘mandarin’..not the new release I went to see, but a the Jadhe Gown – designed for Miss Brazil 2013. Orange is one of my favourite colours in SL (well and…

*R U S T *


Once again Cica Ghost transformed a LEA sim into a wonderful world. You may remember her from her famous black and white installation a while back – which was featured on many snapshots on the SL Feeds – and with reason. *R U S T *  is Cica’s new installation and as the name tells…

It is what it is


I’ve been thinking quite a while on how to put in words what I want to explain! Nah, nothing too serious, but a topic that I had in my head for some weeks and it got triggered again by a thread on the feed the other day. Venus posted a wonderful photo from a visit…

A new Kittens Heaven


(Edited: Per May 2013, this place no longer exists) A few weeks ago Isabelli announced the moving of Kittens Heaven to a new location. I could not wait for it to be finished and open, as I always enjoyed the first Kittens Heaven! Last weekend it opened and it is just lovely, as hoped and..hehe…expected!…

No hurry


Thanks to Venus, who pointed me to the blog of Neva Crystall in which Neva announced the “Neva River Photography Challenge”, entries to be submitted in the special Flickr-group. I like challenges like these, and specially this one as Neva River is a wonderful sim (see my blog post from earlier this week) and this…

Taiga – A Forest


“I hear his voice calling my name the sound is deep in the dark I hear his voice and start to run into the trees into the trees” Taiga is a dark (well, depending on your windlight settings) and huge forest. A sim filled with trees. And rocks. And a lake. It is also a…

Vintage Vinyl


It’s no secret I like a bit of exploring on the quiet Saturday- and Sunday mornings, sipping a hot coffee and curled up in my PJ’s. This morning I visited a new place, Vintage Vinyl Record  & Café. A lovely place, built in a huge globe high in the sky. I never mind buildings in…
