Well, First Life just keeps getting to be more and more of an attention hog, so in an unexpected and frankly uncharacteristic spate of sanity, I'm going to be selling my store and land (which by the way are very pretty, cheap, and situated on a Linden Road with nearby land available for expansion).

My store is called Kate Tease. (Get it ( Read more... )

In First Life, I'm a pretty sensible and restrained buyer of clothes. In Second Life...well, not so much. My wardrobe ranges from the conservative (which by Second Life standards means that you can't see the nipples), to the pugnacious, to the downright meretricious, and if you don't know what that means, you're in exactly the same boat I was in ( Read more... )

On Charlanna's blog (whoops! forgot to link this when I first posted it!), she talked recently about how her expectations for Second Life had kind of dropped a little over time.

I've been mostly out of Second Life for two or three months now, and most of that time I've only come in-world to take care of things, for instance to drop off objects to people or to sell land (we were so thrilled when our friends Ferretherder Kitsune and Mailia Medby took over our former home! We don't need it to stay the same, a mausoleum to the ( Read more... )

I won't be the first (or the last) person to say that male avatars in Second Life have a much harder time getting gorgeous than female avatars. I thought of some reasons for this, which I'll mention in a moment, and maybe you know of some others, but here's the question I'm really interested in at the moment: how gorgeous can male avis get in ( Read more... )

There are both a special satisfaction and a special disappointment that come with having a store in Second Life. Well, not everyone gets both, but let's say it's a common thing ( Read more... )
