There’s a quiet place inside of all of us. We don’t go there often because it is frightening. It’s the bottom of our souls, the deep currents under our surfaces.
And no matter how much we ignore it, it’ll always be there. You don’t have to let it swallow you. Just acknowledge it occasionally. Stay in touch with your heart.

I’d only heard of Rockberry before and had never really checked out their skins, but after getting a few and trying them out, I have to say that I’m impressed. The tone is even, not too dark or light, and the makeup is pleasantly subdued, keeping it from dominating the face. It’s not overdone, the effect is just right. My only complaint would be that the cleavage enhancers are too heavy. It looks like large, dark circles around the breasts instead of good shadowing.
SYSY produces some beautiful antique-looking clothing, and their new Lucy sweater is among my favorites now. Read the rest of this entry »

If you’ve been living in a hole or not paying attention to the blogs/SL website, you might not be aware that the Lab is at it again, readying us for 2010 with a few new policy changes and badly thought out ideas to supposedly improve our second lives.
First off, premium level housing. Not like First Land, but actual places in Second Life where you own just a home on a bit of land. It won’t share a border with any other land, and from the looks of it, they’ll be homogeneous – that is to say, all the houses will be the same, like SL suburbs. They’ll be on their own continent, all isolated like some kind of gated community. This is supposed to be an incentive to get a premium membership. While I can see why Read the rest of this entry »

There, I said it. I usually don’t put up my political opinions on this blog, but I firmly believe that Scientology is a cult that needs to be eliminated. The manipulative, underhanded, and absolutely disgusting tactics they use are a gross violation of human rights and international law. I applaud TIME Magazine for being brave enough to put up an 11 page expose article on the “church”. If you’ve ever had any thoughts of joining this cult group, or know someone involved, or are just curious about what it is, I encourage, no, implore you to take a look. Despite the length, it’s an easy read, and even just skimming through it should help you understand the group better.

I wanted to put up this post a few days ago, but due to being on a really crappy computer which couldn’t handle Photoshop and not being able to find the right boots, it took me until today to get this up. More pics and info after the cut. Read the rest of this entry »

Shapes really are a huge part of Second Life. They affect how we perceive ourselves and others in the virtual world. A lot of people just buy their shapes off the shelf, something that looks pretty, because they realize that they have no talent with the sliders. It’s no secret that most newbies come out of their first Appearance screen experience with huge eyes, giant hands, giraffe legs, and boobs and butt/packages set at 100. Gradually, as we become more adapted to our virtual world, we realize what looks good and what doesn’t, and will either fix the shapes on our own, or give up and buy one.
When I started out, I found that I loved playing with sliders and had a good understanding of them. Read the rest of this entry »

Second Life’s roleplaying community has a huge problem, one I’ve encountered elsewhere and had the exact same reaction to. This glaring issue is Elitism, with the capital E, and it infuriates me.
I’ve found serious roleplay elitists on other websites, most notably Gaia Online. A group of people finds each other, figures that they are the best possible roleplayers out there, and forms into a group. There’s nothing inherently wrong with grouping, and it’s the next step that really creates problems. Those in the group begin to only play with each other. They create high walls of rules to keep out any others, no matter how good those excluded might be, and make getting into their group so difficult that anyone who might possibly have something to contribute to them won’t want to bother with completing the application process. This is what some roleplaying areas in Second Life have come down to.
I won’t name names of any areas that specifically suffer from this problem, but Read the rest of this entry »

Consider this your Action Alert – there’s a JIRA measure up which I was just informed of, aimed at combating copybotting on the Teen Grid and getting LL to get up off their collective asses to do something about the issues it causes. I’ve been informed that copybotting is at an all-time high on the TG, and shows no signs of slowing. Because Main Grid creators cant’ see that their products are being ripped off and sold or given away for free, it’s really vital that LL pays attention and takes the reports of botting over there seriously. Please take a minute of your time and vote or comment.

I’m usually not one for really short dresses. I love dresses, mostly midlength cocktail dresses, something swishy around my knees, but when it gets far up on the thighs, I usually will wear pants or not use the dress at all. That said, I received a new dress pack from a bloggers group, and couldn’t be more in love with them.
