Un Jour


This morning, Sunday mornings are always lovely for exploring, I visited Un Jour. The landing point was a bit odd, on top of a huge glass greenhouse but once I jumped off, I discovered an amazing place! It is a shop, you can buy clothes (fantasy-style, very sweet), hats with floral toppings and skyboxes! All…

Being an ESL’er in Second Life


Yes, I am an ESL’ er (English as Second Language) and I love language! My first language is Dutch, then comes English…then a gap….French…a bigger gap and then German. In Second Life I only speak English, which makes sense as I rarely meet Dutch people (don’t ask me why, but for some reason I just…

I give up


Not a very cheerful title of this post, eh? No, I am not giving up Second Life. Nor Katana-fighting! I just give up finding someone for a dance on a Saturday-night. This weekend I decided to give it another try and went to a club that Pep showed me the other day. Nice music, very…

Saturday Night!!!


After a stressful day (I went RL shopping in the big city, the horror!) I could use some entertainment online, as I had no other plans for my Saturday Night (what else is new?). I put on my nice red dress and went to some jazz-clubs, looking forward to meet people, have some nice chats…

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,…

Wasabi Pills – Fantasy hair


After some spars with Ratt, followed by a nice training session with Dreadfal (yay, he is on his way to the jumpslash!),  I made myself another coffee and went to Wasabi Pills. This is a hairshop, what else is new on my Saturday mornings, where you can try out demo-hair for free. Now, this is…

Crazy times!


What a week! Crazy times is the right term, in ImperiuM! We welcome new members almost on a daily basis and trying hard to keep up with them, getting the basics in…seeing some grow to advanced rapidly, great! Next week we will have a Capture the Flag fight, I invited Sessou Samurai for a friendly…

Mysterious Waves


Into art and installations? Then Mysterious Waves is the place to visit! Nice mellow music on stream and best: a lovely, mysterious  clouded sky. May take a while to rez once you land there, but the effect is amazing! On small islands you will find art-works, some with (meditation) sitposes and others to just watch…

Man vs Secondlife part 1 & 2


Instead of watching survival documentaries on Discovery Channel (my usual way to wake up on Sunday morning, with coffee in bed!), I watched these two episodes of Man vs Second Life, hilarious! (note: you may want to watch them on Youtube,   the embedded versions in this blog are a bit blurry!)

Standby


‘Standby’ is the name of an installation made by the famous (if I may say so) Bryn Oh, whose work I always admire! Standby is located on the IBM sim and, as usual for Bryn, a surrealistic build. Just amazingly detailed and confusing ;). Somewhere on the floor you will find a perkament paper which…

Lazy Saturday


The weekends are always kind of quiet in ImperiuM, giving me some time to explore and catch up chatting with friends who are not into katana–fighting. This afternoon, while chatting in IM, I amused myself in the Garden of Dreams. One of my favourite places in Second Life. I simply love the fields with high…

Chubby


Oh oh..I wanted to take a picture of Cait being a bit fuller. Well, just call it fat. So I edited my shape and this is the result:   In all my wisdom, ahem, I edited my original shape. This means that in all my prepared outfits (and I have A LOT of those!!) my…

Burn 2.0


I have always enjoyed the SL Burning Life events, every year in October. A Second Life  version of the RL Burning Man festival, with lots of art and music, meeting people and generally having a good time. This year Linden Lab decided to ‘outsource’  it and it’s now called Burn 2. It will open tomorrow…
