An ever-expanding directory of quality content in Second Life, for the Tasteful Shopper. We cover fashion, places to explore, avatars, furniture & prefabs, and other neat things to have or see, pretty much since the day before yesterday. All on the fly!

My most prized fashion items of the moment ! First, I was pretty thrilled last week with these new masks from Illusions. The mask and trim are colour change, and I think there are to be a few more variations to be released soon. Then, Whippet & Buck made these matching bras to go with my favourite knickers. Yay ! And finally, I’d always wanted ballets with little bows like these, but had never seen any in SL that were shaped exactly like the real life ones, that is until Ingénue made those ! Love, love them. Can’t wear anything else at the moment. ❤

I had once blogged some very nice leather wrist straps that are permanent gifts from this store but I didn’t know that the designer, masomaso Quan, was also making super cute, really well textured shabby furniture as well. I love all the woods in this ! It all blends in really well and doesn’t look too “raw”.
I had totally missed these freebies at Yonemaru. It’s all free, including the trees, the ashtrays, the flower beds with the tree supports and the vendor stands, except for the three plants at the bottom.
Radio Signals’ Scribble store has recently had a facelift, and it is worth checking out if only for the decorative art on display on the outside walls, the floors and in the beautifully made dolls that adorn the square at the entrance of the store. Here are some of the adorable, fun things that she sells there.
These tags come as attachments not for only for your hair, mouth and arm but you can also hold them out with your fingers, and there are 8 different colours. You can resize them, have any kind of message imprinted on them, choose the colour of the writing, and turn glow on or off by clicking on the tag. They can be bought copyable or transferable.
The reindeer lounger exists in several versions, sitting only 1 or 3 persons, in different ways. You can check them out at the store, they’re also great just to complement a winter scene !
This moleskine serves as a typing overrider, and there are several to pick from, each with a different drawing on it, or just blank pages. It will also come with a decorative copy that you can display where you like.

A certain “Robin Moore” left this construction around in a sandbox. Thought it was kinda cool…
First visited about a year ago, I was the other day in need of basking in someone’s else creativity, and thought of stalking around lonetorus Habilis’ den, a perfect haven for geeks (though he was nowhere to be seen at the time). If you fancy any one of these things, you’ll have to rummage through his bric-à-brac at TEKKON, where his past and ongoing projects lie about all in a jumble (oh, and he also makes custom content as a sculptor and scriptor, too).
If you hadn’t seen it before, this is a machinima aston Leisen made in The Wastelands some time ago, with shadows, and one of my favourite Beatles song. Just wow, and really awesome !
I liked the sweater Julliette Westerburg put out (for today only) so much, I made a quickie little post for it.

On January 19th, the Wastelands turned three, and yesterday they celebrated with a round of events customary of a Saturday in the community, plus a couple that were held regularly when I used to live there. I had thought to capture some photos during the week, but then realised that shadows don’t work for me anymore and was too disheartened to take any in the end. So, I made a machinima !
I remember having been around for their first anniversary, but missing the second one after I moved out, and I’m really quite happy that I have gone for the third. Only missing from this footage is “Game Show”, once a weekly feature hosted by the extraordinary entertainment provider that is Giuseppe Spicoli. Damn that because, though I personally much preferred the “Match Game” that Giuseppe introduced later (see real life version here), this in general was always my favourite part of Saturdays in the Wastelands (along with watching really hilariously dumb movies at Burnt Oak). They’re basically both TV-based games, with a host, a stage, a couple of participants on a podium, and rowdy people bantering from an arena. Invariably, lots of fun. But I’m recounting souvenirs mostly from 2008 here, because after that I left in August of that year, I don’t think I can have set foot in The Wastelands more than ten times since. But then yesterday was pretty terrific and just like the old times, and once in a while, a blast from the past can’t hurt.
Just let me make this clear, though, before you go and get the wrong idea: I was never ever a warrior, I never fought once or role-played anything. But, as once an owner of one of the first homesteads offered to the residents, what I chose to put out on my land, had a leeeettle bit of impact, I imagine, on the general landscape of the area, so I always toed the line between what made me comfortable, what I liked, and what would be acceptable to the rest of the community within a certain context of destruction, survival and, yeah, let’s say the word, post-apocalypse. What (partly) amused me all along, I guess, was to wonder how long it would be before someone came up and told me to go take a hike. But that never really happened. All in all, good times. ❤
A few teleports: the court of skulls, the fighting arena, the Junkyard stage, the swamp, and the drive-in.
PS. Particularly in The Wastelands, sepia windlight settings make a lot of things look better, like “Dusty”, “London2026″, “Verdigris”…
