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…

‘Like no one is watching’


This weeks challenge by Strawberry Singh is all about my favourite pastime in Second Life: dancing! I love to dance in Second Life. Well in real life too, but I am afraid my moves aren’t that smooth in the real world. Never kept me from dancing anyway, though it is best kept private.

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…

Well played LL….:P


So today I read the official blog and there was an announcement of sorts about Sansar in a townhall meeting (well actually my dear friend Jeeva pointed me to it), and yes..I should have known better….today of all days…. I admit…

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…

Cica Ghost’s Strawberry Land


The ever so lovely and talented Cica Ghost has yet opened her sim with a new installation: Strawberry Land. A world covered with, well, strawberries…and more! It is a fun place, happy and cheerful and in between the gigantic strawberries you will find some delightful sets/scenes with little figures – most of them struggling against…

Nothing like the rain


So it is supposed to be Spring, and in Holland this means: the same rain as in Autumn and Winter, with the difference being the trees are getting green again! It is still cold and windy, but hey hoo…when you are Dutch you are used to 7 months of cold and rain, followed by winter!…

Never have I ever!


Yesterday Berry posted a new Monday Meme after a long hiatus and it is a fun one! I could use a bit of distraction after a long busy day, and so I decided to participate and do a random picture to accompany my 100% honest answers to the 10 questions Berry asks us.

Nusquam


What else to do on a quiet Friday night than ..exploring! While browsing the Destination Guide, Nusquam got my attention – as I remembered the name from some fabulous pics I had seen on Flickr. So there I went, hoping it looked as good as promised!

Playa Flamingo


Last night I received a notice in the SL Blogger Support group, about a new location: Playa Flamingo, owned and decorated by Marcus (marcus688.resident) who has generously opened this for all who want to take pictures and..the coming few days rezzing is allowed too (please clean up after yourselves!).

Location in the Spotlight: The Trace Too

This month I am happy to feature The Trace Too, one of the sims in SL that have seasonal changes and never disappoint – and also: it is very photographer/blogger friendly, so a good reason to ask owner/landscaper/decorator Kylie Jaxxon to tell us a bit more about her The…

Ironwood Hills – revisited


Almost a year ago I blogged about Ironwood Hills, an urban roleplay sim, and today I returned – after I got a notice that the sim re-opened after a total rebuild! I enjoyed Ironwood Hills a lot last year, so I was curious on how it looks now.
