Live Your Best Life #SecondLife #VirtualReality #VirtualGirls

Oh-oh, we got our feet on the ground And we’re burnin’ it down Oh-oh, got our head in the clouds And we’re not comin’ down Alicia Keys – Girl on Fire I love a chunky heel and I adore an excuse to dress up a little bit vintage so I was super happy to see the Evita Platforms at Dead Doll. These heels are perfect for spring and summer and will go with numerous looks as they come in a whole palette…

SL Calendar Girls - April 2023 #SLCalendargirls #SLCG #SecondLife #VirtualGirls

I am sorry this month’s selection is a little later than planned. I won’t go into too much detail but my father has been unwell and I’ve had two trips away from home to visit him. It put my schedule out of sync a lot, and not just for Calendar girls but I am slowly getting back to normal! As always, this is a selection of my favourite photos added to the SL Calendar Girls group during the month.…

Del, my friend and business partner in Seraphim, and I have a running joke about the seasons. This was because I mentioned Spring in early January. Now there is an argument to say that the seasons work in a slightly different way in Second Life, with a long Spring and Summer, a short Autumn and a Winter that only really lasts for 6 weeks at a push. That said I am so ready for the warmer weather…

Nice Weather for Ducks #SecondLife #SLBN #VirtualReality #VirtualWorld

The weather has been pretty changeable here for the last few weeks, even though it’s officially British Summer Time. The last couple of weeks have been a blur as my elderly father has been hospitalised and I had an unscheduled dash 300 miles down to Cornwall. It rained pretty much all the way down there. Cornwall is beautiful, even when raining but I didn’t get to see much other than the inside…

Venezia #SecondLife #SLBN #virtualWorlds #VR

Mr Smith and I have been enjoying the sights of Venice this weekend, thanks to our friends Maria and Jason and their heartwarming generosity, It has definitely not been wasted on us. We’ve danced, laughed, lazed our way through 2 days of sightseeing, RP dinners, coffee dates and more. Like any break, rl or sl, it’s gone far too quickly but has reminded me of how important it is to spend quality…

Drawn to Water #SecondLife #VirtualReality #Metaverse

It’s rare that I blog the back of the dress but on this occasion you are going to have to trust me that the front of this dress is beautiful too! However, the back has this unique untied lower back and it was just too good not to make the focus of the pose and image. The dress is by Dead Doll and I am wearing the Ebody version but it comes in versions for Legacy and Maitreya too. Deciding to take…

Trois #SecondLife #VirtualReality #SLBN

“I used to be indecisive but now I’m not too sure” – Tommy Cooper My mum used to use that quote all the time and I was today years old when I found out it was a one-liner from the comic genius, Tommy Cooper. I thought of this quote today for two reasons. One this is the second time that I’ve taken a photo of this dress, and the first time was a completely different colour version, and, because…

Rainy Days and Mondays #SecondLife #SLBN #virtualworlds

I took this picture weeks ago and I’m not even sure why I didn’t post it. I’m going through another of those I want to take photos and but going through a mix of procrastination and feeling not completely happy with the photos when I do take them. That’s disappointing when you have spent a lot of time setting up a scene, taking and editing a shot. But, I’ve noticed, that sometimes if I come back…

So, SL Living Expo opened it’s doors gates to the public yesterday with a huge opening day. There really is so much going on, all in aid of a good cause. Set across 7 sims there are raffles, auctions, shopping, entertainment, contests and more. I was honoured to be involved this year creating one of the themed shopping regions in a country theme. Those of you who knew, and loved, Deer River will…

Cause, I'm Just a Girl #SecondLife

I’m just a girl that loves hair and if there is one thing I love more than hair it’s free hair…especially when it’s exceptionally good free hair! I did spot this hair on Seraphim a couple of weeks ago as a group gift at BonBon store but it was at a particularly busy time and I didn’t get a chance to teleport over to check it out. Of course, because I didn’t do it there and then after a couple of…

It's Me, Hi, I'm the Problem It's Me #SecondLife

I have this thing where I get older but just never wiserMidnights become my afternoonsWhen my depression works the graveyard shiftAll of the people I’ve ghosted stand there in the room I’ve gone a bit back and forth on heads of late. Avalon has been my go to since it came out, but, of course I have tried ALL the new Lelutka releases. I loved Ora for a long time, but, went back to Avalon. I…

I'll Bring you Flowers #SecondLife #CupicInc #DeadDoll

Exactly as I suspected it would re-opening Calendar Girls means I am immersed daily in the most beautiful, creative images as they are added to the group. Already I can feel myself inspired by the stunning imagery I am seeing in the feed of the group each morning and evening. So I thought I’d attempt something different and out of my comfort zone. I am wearing the latest release from Dead Doll…
