It all starts with a (tropical) smile!


Kaelyn Alecto has turned her sim ‘It all starts with a smile‘ (or IASWAS) into a tropical paradise, and it will be opened to the public on Monday 13 June at Noon SLT. I had the opportunity to go have a look already, so tonight I spent some lovely sunny hours exploring and looking around!

Follow your Bliss


After a day of work, I can always really look forward to logging in and either catch up with friends, shop or explore locations and take pictures. Todays RL work was not too bad and I had quite a productive day, so I allowed myself to log in a bit earlier than usual. I’ve seen…

Netherwood


While looking for some nice photogenic places, I ended up in Lauren Bentham’s Netherwood. As her notecard with rules (yes, there are some normal rules) and information says: ‘Netherwood, while a fictional name, is inspired by the picturesque English Lake District where I have lived all of my life.  I decided it was time for…

Arachnid by Cica Ghost


Over the years I have blogged so many of Cica Ghost’s installations, she is one of SL’s most productive artists, and her artwork never bores and always impresses me. Today I wen to explore her current “Arachnid“ which features, oh surprise, spiders! Big ones. Animated and moving ones. Oh and did I say they are…

The Sounds of Poems in OtherWorld


OtherWorld, the bright and mysterious land created and sponsored by Elicio Ember – Cerridwen’s Cauldron, is the home of the Literary Festival of the Fantasy Faire.

Faire Folk, there be Dragons


Most of my online time I now spend on the Fairelands, enjoying the scenery, the parties and…looking at visitors strolling by, also referred to as ‘Faire Folk’. A huge diversity in looks and outfits, humans, elves, dwarfins and….dragons! I managed to catch some on tape, as you know Dragons are really shy and they usually…

Sakura in Tatakai Tochi


The famous Cherry Blossoming is in full swing, in Japan an amazing sight. I’ve never experienced this in real life, though we do have lots of Cherry Blossom trees (Sakura in Japanese)  overhere, it is not uncommon to have a few nasty storms the moment the blossoming has started, thus making it a mere 3…

Days of O


Even an experienced, ahem, explorer like me makes the occasional mistake – but you have to live and learn, right? It started this weekend when I read a plurk from Froukje, who was excited about a new (adult) sim, named Days of O. Naturally I went to see it, if only to get a LM…

Rebeca Bashly’s Chronophobia


It has been a while since I tried to produce an SL machinima, but yesterday I felt in the mood and wanted to do a blogpost with a video. And what better topic than Rebeca Bashly’s art installation on Split Screen, ‘Chronophobia’. I always love Rebeca’s work and this piece is no exception, though it…
