FOURTEEN


What a surprise! Today I received a festive email from Second Life, congratulating me with my 14th rezday. Somehow I had totally forgotten about it, but they are right. I am 14 years old today! Oh the things I’ve seen and one in those years…sigh… And of course I hope to see and do lots…

The SL18B Shop and Hop


Tomorrow, June 17th, Second Life’s 18th Birthday celebrations ‘Hidden Worlds’will begin, with SL18B regions filled with exhibitions and art installations by Second Life residents. This year I am particularly looking forward to it, for personal reasons, and I will blog about that tomorrow! The SL18B regions are non-commercial, so there is nothing to shop…but fear…

#TellMeWithoutTellingMe


Since a few weeks I’ve seen several challenges on social media with the hashtag #TellMeWithoutTellingMe. Mostly on Facebook and Twitter, challenging you to tell in what country you live or what you do for a living, without saying the name of said country or profession. I love these kind of challenges and thought it would…

Why you need this dagger and coin!


Last week a tweet from Skell Dagger, the Virtual Bloke, got my attention, he showed a throwable animesh dagger and was instantly intrigued! And yes, I wanted to have this! I mean, why wouldn’t I need an animated dagger to throw and catch all day?! Because I had some trouble finding the dagger, I IMMed…

Fantasy Faire 2021 – Somniatoris Arx


Before time as it was known, an entity fell from the heavens and embedded itself into the stone where it came to rest; until it too became part of the earth. Its passing brought unusual powers to the surrounding lands, and gifted the few who uncovered it the means to forge a civilization. In the…

Fantasy Faire 2021 – A’Dracunas


What awaits the curious visitor inside this gigantic nest. As you explore the myst hidden ground, popping sounds of hatching eggs fill the air. Does something slither around your ankles or is it your imagination? Is it friend or foe? A’Dracunas is (yet another) impressive Faireland at the Fantasy Faire! A land filled with gigantic…

Fantasy Faire 2021 – Fairelanders Masked Ball


One of the big social- and dance events on the Fantasy Faire in Second Life is the famous Fairelanders Masked Ball. To accommodate most of the timezones there are two balls, and I went to the one suited to Euro timezones, tonight! The next one is Saturday, May 1: 6 – 8 PM SLT, at…

Fantasy Faire 2021 – Featherfall


Did you know one of my hobbies and passions in real life is: knitting (and crochet) ? You did not? Well, now you know! After a day of working and before I log into Second Life I find it super relaxing to do something that does not involve a keyboard and a monitor. So I…

Fantasy Faire 2021 – Sneak Preview!


For the 8th time, I have been asked to be an official photographer and guest blogger for the most awesome event of the year, the Fantasy Faire. Yes I had to look it up, and I’ve been doing this since 2014 and every year I look forward to it. The event that is, but am…

Summer of ’42


Step back in time and enjoy the summer of ’42 at the Element region (created and owned) by Sixdigital and Justice Vought, this brand-new region is too good to not visit. Summer of 42 is a coming-of-age film based on memoirs. During summer vacation on Nantucket Island in 1942, a youth eagerly awaiting his first…

Dear Nico – ‘Shame, shame, shame’


Hello dear readers! It has been a while since my last contribution to this blog, my apologies. It’s not that I haven’t received any letters from you, on the contrary. My absence had to to with an unfortunate incident involving a scrub bucket, hair dye and a crossbow. I might get into that story some…

Cloven Forest – Magical!


Over the past years I’ve seen my share of forests in Second Life, but for some reason I can’t get enough of them. Specially when they are beautifully landscaped and have a touch of magic! Today I visited Cloven Forest, which is described in the land information as follows: A quiet calm and stillness will…

A Desert Canyon and how I lost my shape


Last week when logging in I got a disturbing notification. My shape could not be located in inventory and I rezzed like a n00b in some default form. Not a pretty sight I can tell you! Not panicked at that moment I cleared cache and logged back in into Second Life in an LL region,…
