An Imperial Picnic


Sometimes, with all my travels through Second Life, I almost forget what a lovely sim ImperiuM Island is! I go to all kinds of places and enjoy the rest of world a lot, but every now and then it is just perfect to sit down on our own sim, chat the night away with friends…

Art Maze 2011


As my Sunday was typical: lazy, nothing special to do, coffee, peanutbutter-sandwiches and raining all day… I travelled to the Zindra Continent (Adult) to visit the Art Maze 2011 on Distrel.  A colorful (lots of pink, yay!) art-exhibition, build as a maze. You can pick up some free shirts and coffee mugs, of course I…

Brighten up!


Somewhere there’s someone who dreams of your smile, and finds in your presence that life is worth while. So when you are lonely, remember it’s true Somebody somewhere is thinking of you.. Or what also works, well it does for me, go visit a colorful epic place in Second Life to brighten up the day…

Annon, The Gate


Via the SL Destination Guide (what would I do without it!!) I discovered a beautiful sim, Annon. It has several amazing castles. The one I liked most is The Gate. An impressive monastery built on a rock, surrounded by waves (a bit too noisy to my taste), populated with seals and seagulls and huge waterfalls….

Sway’s


On one of my travels I found a lovely small square, surrounded by little shops selling furniture (home & hobby), clothing (dressed), teddy bears (cookie bears) and animations (swAyNimations) called: SwayLand. I found out all shops are from the same creator, Sway Dench, who really makes lovely and original creations of all sorts! I had…

The Water Horse – by Toxic Menges


Via one of the forums of Second Life, I found this impressive machinima made by Toxic Menges. The horse in the movie is not an attachment or pet, but an avatar. I enjoyed watching this machinima, for its ambiance, music, the scenery and how smooth the horse moves….just lovely! (it’s best to watch it in…

Come fly with me…


Fever got me and it’s bad. A flu without having a cold. I am miserable and not in the mood for fighting. Or te be in world a lot. Anyway! To cheer myself up I transformed into an Elf. A pink one, of course! I kind of liked running around as the Christmas Elf the…

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…

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…

Getting ready for Christmas


Holidays are always a great excuse to go shopping! Although I still love my green Elf Outfit I got 2 years ago, it’s also needed to have something new to wear, that reflects the spirit of the season… This morning, after taking photo’s on ImperiuM Island of the new Christmas decorations by Pil and Oki,…

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…
