Friend of Mine

So many things can inspire a blog post idea, and today, it happened while I was already fully dressed. As I scrolled through my VR Studio poses, I landed on this full-length one by Loel, and it made me think, “I need a companion.” So, I searched my inventory for Jian and brought out this beauty of a pup. He’s a past Gacha item, and absolutely adorable. I was never one to go wild with Gacha – I’d look at a collection, decide I liked it as a whole (no specific item more important than another), pull once or twice, and move on. Hilariously, this often resulted in me getting rares, which always felt wasted on me.

Linden Lab made a big announcement – one no one really saw coming – that Gachas could return (as if they ever really left; people found a workaround so fast your head could spin). But now, they’re under new rules: if you want to use the old secret spin method, the items have to be no-transfer. I personally don’t get this decision. Why would anyone want a mystery item they can’t do anything with if they win it? It kind of defeats the whole point of Gacha – sharing, trading, and having fun. If I want a no-transfer item, it’s because I’m picking exactly what I want myself. According to the TOS, though, we can still use the newer system, where items are transfer but you know what you’re picking. It’s as confusing to think about as it is to explain.

As I’ve said many times… HAT HAIR! makes me happy. This one was a recent Uber celebration gift from Tram, and I’m obsessed. The cap is gorgeous, and the delicate Tram logo on the side makes it so stylish. The short, blunt cut in this pastel colour is perfection. I expect the style might be available in the store at some point, possibly as a full-purchase item, as the gift was in pastels only. Definitely a must-have if you don’t already own it.

Fashionably Dead released these jeans for C88, and they come with chain embellishments that can be toggled off via the HUD. They’re cute worn either way, and while I’m not usually the ‘jeans open at the front’ type, these are done in a way that just implies I had a big lunch. I grabbed this top from Erratic a while ago but hadn’t had a chance to wear it yet. As soon as these jeans went on, I knew the top was coming up for air. I love this style, especially how well the tank fits across the shoulders.

Now, I’m ready to take my pup for a walk – maybe help some of that lunch settle so I can get these jeans closed again. Who knew virtual food could cause such wardrobe issues?
