[europa]


When I saw the blogpost by Joi Irui this morning, about her visit to [europa]  I could not wait to go there myself and have a look! I love cartoon-ish places and this one did not disappoint! [europa] is the home of the mainstore of Kaz (Kazuhiro Aridian), and a delight! Bright and happy, with…

2014: Bring it on!


My first blogpost in 2014 is not about a cool destination, nor fashion….Nope. I am very honoured and pleased to tell you about two exciting projects I will be part of, so a bit of ego-boosting for me! I have never been asked to take part in enterprises like these, and never considered or consider…

Allied Forward Air Base – 1941 Tunisia


The Allied Forward Air Base – 1941 Tunisia, located on the WWII North sim, is a roleplay area using a specific combat system (MCE open beta). I could not find any rules or such about the roleplay, but when I visited it this morning it was all empty – giving me the time to look…

Annwn Willows


[ A story still asleep. It dreams. ] This is the description from Annwn Willows, a gorgeous sim I have had on my list to visit for ages and finally this morning I went there. The difference with most other sims is..this has a beautiful setting completely underwater, but not in the “mermaid” style, so…

The North Pole Sleigh Ride Adventure!


First of all, I wish everyone a very merry Christmas and happy Holidays! If you are, like me, a bit lazy today…and have no real plans other than perhaps some more food (and drinks!), I can recommend a visit to The North Pole Sleigh Ride Adventure! I did it this morning, while waking up with…

Roots and War – JadeYu Fhang


This morning I followed Ziki’s trail to Roots and War, an art installation by JadeYu Fhang, after I got intrigued by Ziki’s post and pictures. And also, I was in need of something without snow, ice and ‘ho ho ho!!’… Roots and War is impressive and best seen in the regional windlight (verdigris), although I…

Fruit Islands – Winterland


Back in 2008 I rented my first small tropical island on an estate called Fruit Islands. I was so proud and happy with my 768 sqm piece of paradise! The owners, Equinox and Dennis were very helpful and friendly and after a while I moved on to a bigger island..and then to half a sim!…

Vespertine – Pure Dreams


This afternoon I spent more than an hour enjoying Vespertine on the Pure Dreams sim. It is the location for the mainstore Vespertine, where you will find wonderful items for home decoration! Now, decorating is not my thing. I have decided to leave our home as it it, as I am getting too tired of wearing…

Rebeca’s Sleepy Snail


After I saw pictures on Flickr of Rebeca Bashly’s latest full sim art installation ‘Sleepy Snail‘ I immediately put it on my list of things to go see ASAP! It’s known I am a fan of Rebeca’s work, and this one on Metales is as delightful as I hoped it would be! Now, I am…

Mad City


Mad City Christmas is another gorgeous looking city created by Mad Pea Productions, this time the city is covered in snow and there are plenty of shops for some good old fashioned Christmas shopping. There is also the Holiday Havoc Hunt and and Advent Calendar with gifts, for those looking for some action and puzzles…

A Postcard Christmas


Every year when it gets near halfway December, I get a shock when realising how fast Christmas is approaching. To me it always feels like it is suddenly there, while I am still in Autumn-mode… In SL things go even faster, Christmas decorations all over the place – even before the 5th of December…in my…

Past and Present


When Don and I met for the first time, many years ago, we both looked different…although not so much as I thought. After Don had his picture taken by Trinetty Skytower, picturing him with both a young and mature face (THIS is the most awesome portrait I have ever seen!), we got inspired to make…

The Pines at Jacobs Pond


Sometimes it is just nice to spend some time on a sim that has no ‘action’ as it were, but just…virtual peace, quiet and nature. I often look for places like that, simply to look around, frame a nice view and stare a bit at my screen while having deep and meaningful thoughts. Well, or…

Ice, Ice Baby


Well yes, I woke up with Vanilla Ice’s old song in my head. Don’t ask….and please don’t judge… To distract myself a bit from  ‘stop, collaborate and listen!’ all the time, I went out for some shopping inworld and ended up at the Main Event Winter. A quite nice concept, creators sell outfits but only…
