Every Christmas in Secondlife I like to dress myself up as Christmas Elf! Not Santa or Mrs Santa, I just prefer the Elf in a green outfit. My favourite designer for holiday outfits is Laura Boram, for What The… (her easterbunny outfit is an all-time favourite!). This year her Christmas Elf outfit is just lovely!…

Wellies!
After almost 2 days of landscaping in the snow, I decided I deserved something pretty! Heh. Actually I just needed some sort of excuse to buy the amazing (mesh) Wellington’s from GOS! Being Dutch and therefore familiar with wetlands and rain – I grew up wearing Wellies almost year round. Yes, I also had wooden…
C.c..c..c……C O L D !
On this cold and grey day I went to work on ImperiuM Island. Time to remove the autumn trees, the leaves and get rid of the cheerful green meadows, it is December and it is supposed to be ice-cold and snowy! I found some wonderful snowy Oaks and an amazing ice-skating rink at Heart Garden…
The 5th of December!
Much to my annoyance I have seen lots of Christmas decorations already, in SL that is. Overhere in my RL, Holland, not so much. It would have been very not done and if one dares to decorate for Christmas before the 5th of December, one will be named and shamed in the neighbourhood! I have…
F R O S T – Alerium
It’s been a while ago since I last visited Alerium, a very colourful garden with fantasy trees and flowers (which you can buy in their shop!) and a lovely place to explore. When cleaning up my overstuffed inventory I came across the LM for Alerium and decided to hop over and enjoy the scenery! To…
Ice Sculptures by Rebeca Bashly (updated)
Only in Second Life…can you visit an art gallery filled with Ice Sculptures while it is tropical outside :). I visited Rebeca Bashly’s exhibit in UTSA (M), a permanent collection of lovely ice sculptures. Cool, in all ways…and specially nice when in midnight! (PS: yes, I editted this post. Rebeca told me it is not…
Antarctica – Vanguard Armed Forces
Instead of being out in the sun (it was too windy anyway) I dressed up all warm and travelled to Antarctica’s Vanguard Armed Forces (M). A multiple sim Roleplay environment, breathtakingly beautiful! On arrival one is advised to use windlight settings: ‘Antarctica’ for sky and ‘Ice-like’ for water. After I did that…it was as if…
[Albergo Bosco]
“Less is more..” This certainly goes for [Albergo Bosco], an icy, peaceful and wonderful place I visited recently. All there is: a ship, mountains covered in snow and shadows, snowflakes falling, a mystic lake on which you can have a romantic dance and a quiet, cosy place to sit and relax. A perfect place to…
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,…
Landscaping in style
This weekend I worked on our sim, getting it all ready for the winter season. It felt good to remove most of the autumn-trees, although I did like them a lot. But it is December so time to let it snow! Of course, one cannot just work with snow in shorts, sandals and tank top!…
Winterfashion – DeLa
Yeah, in Second Life it does not have to be winter and cold! Unlike real life, you can walk around in bikini or summer dresses all year round.. However, I do like to dress a bit according to the real life seasons. Not always and not all the way, it would be boring! At the…
