Fairy Bread Truth Serum
So a year ago I heard that it was Truth’s Birthday, and I had this idea that I needed to make myself a prop, and I failed at it, so this year I got another chance to do so, and so with much fenangling, I present the item that all kids in Australia wait patiently for someone to have a birthday so we can get our hands and mouths on it….FAIRY BREAD! – it should be a half triangle cut or quarters, but I stole a full piece before the knives came out shhhh. Seriously, I think I have said this before, the funniest thing once your people start having their own kids, is attending their parties and seeing a fair few adults, trying to sneakily get their share in while no one is looking. What is even funnier is that there is no special lock box at the supermarket for 100’s & 1000’s (Sprinkles some call them) and butter is always available, as well as perfectly yummy white bread, it has to be white bread, and sorry but the fancier breads will not work, they are just not the same, it has to be the Australian version of wonderbread, we can as adults make this stuff whenever we want, even if we don’t have kids, but it is special, it belongs at parties, and it is adored, and other countries do not seem to get it, but it is magic, I think if someone waved it in front of me and asked me secrets I would give in.
So in honor of the birthday of the talented Truth Hawks I give you Fairy Bread delivered to me personally by a fairy, and my hair colour and outfit choice is also in keeping with the fanciful nature of the post. Some of you may not know that Truth started with clothing before Hair, and that occasionally he busts out in creating some, these pants are such a release, they are so fun, the little skirt pants combination are just fun and flirty, and the colours and this gradient style on the fatpack are just perfection. So thank you Truth for another year of your SLife and thank your family for another year of you. I hope that there is Fairy Bread on every surface of your RL home right now, it is morning still, but I think Fairy Bread for lunch today is a must have.

Legna Day
I have been having some wonderful customer service experiences lately, as the customer, which always makes me happy. Having done that role for nearly 2 decades in Second Life, it often hits differently, and if it is not a good one, it floors me, because it becomes more about the interaction than anything to do with the product. Honestly, there just isn’t a reason for bad customer service in Second Life, we are a huge world, tens of thousands of people, but we are very much a small-town cottage industry. Every step you take, every move you make, someone is watching, taking note, and letting everyone they know know.
So this is me, letting you know know. The brand is Legna, and I played their gacha at the current round of The Fifty. I played once, got a great common, played a second time, got the Rare – I have magic Rare powers, trust me – and played one more time, just because I wanted to, and was happy. Unpacked it all, and was trying on the various options, this gacha is incredible, it is a Handbag Gacha, but not only do you get the bag in the colour won, you get the bag with 4 different holds for both left and right, it is wild, all included for one low gacha price…so I was playing around with the poses, deciding that one of them just had to feature in my next post, they are so awesome, as bags, and then realised that old ‘1’ after the name of something, meaning that the same item has been added to the contents when packing it twice. So I looked closer and realised that one of the holds was two lefts, I checked, as I often do to make sure, that it was not just a naming issue, like typing left on the right and it really being a right, but no, it was two of the same, so I contacted the creator and let her know the issue, and she got back to me in a few hours – remember I live in the future, so that is often going to be the case that there is some wait time, that and people have lives outside of Second Life, shocking I know.
Just to be clear, there is so much in this pack, that one missing hold did not matter at all to me, the reason for the contact is that it is important that we let stores know when something is not as it is meant to be, so that they have the opportunity to fix it, not just for us, but for everyone, and also so that their item is just not wrong going forward forever. So she did, she fixed it, she sent me the parts I was missing, she interacted with kind words and a bit of a share about how important it is to her that her customers are happy…and then logging in today, after I had already shot these pics and so on, she had sent out a redelivery through her vendor system to all customers that purchased the items, so that they had the right items, this is a huge thing especially for Gacha items, to care more about the customer than the fact that technically everyone got everything twice.
So that and the fact that the other day I was chatting to Mel about ‘Leg Day’ and giggled about that the whole time I was shooting my pics for this post, everything else that came about from that, just made it the perfect title for the post. Legna Day has earned its spot in my calendar. Also aside from all of that, have I mentioned how awesome the bags are, they are so cute and fierce at the same time, love that.
The white version of the bag lead me to being all white for this look, which is not usually a thing I do, or haven’t done in a fair while. The top is the top of the Peaches set by The Kiwi Co. when I did the shorts from that set, I knew it was going to be a separate look with the top, and this was perfect, that right amount of girly. So then to offset that, I went with some leather pants with inbuilt feet covering by Ison, that are made to fit into shoes made for the feet shape that were an easy match up with the NCore shoes, the strappyness of them a great contrast, which I love, so it is like leather stockings and any shoe you choose to finish the look.
This cool little choker that was a gift at THE BASH – FLF Birthday Bash, that I just want to keep calling The Bash, as I mentioned in my last post. It is so delicate and has a texture change hud with lots of options, by NaaNaa’s. Also adding this adorable little nose chain of pearls by Swan, I was heavily leaning into all my white options here. That left me with the hair, and this style by Wasabi for TRUTH Collective is an easy choice, the hardest part was deciding what colour, do I go full white, do I go a contrast colour, I could have just gone black, but I wanted a little something, so I went with the Silvery roots look that way I just look like I started Black and gave myself a whitewash. i love the straightness of the style until the perfect swoop at the bottom, it is perfect, and to add to its perfection, the lovely daisy barrette by Sparkle Skye…now I just have to work out where to go looking this fabulous.

Forget me Knot
I enjoy good word play, a great pun is something delightful. Pairing up the Opalite set and all its lovely bows, with the Elena hair and its adorable bow back cap, had me enjoying the girly of it all, while still having that streetwear edge. I had fun with my picture because I felt like with all these bows to remind me of something, apparently I forgot my keys. I had to create this outside doorway scene because of the lovely suncatcher by Sparke Skye that is still available at the FLF Birthday Bash that I mentioned in a previous post. There are four different colour themes and it spins slowly from the virtual breeze and twinkles, it is just a beautiful expression of stained glass design and I know that the creator herself actually has a passion for this craft in RL, so it is always nice to see those things overlap.
Speaking of overlap, you will not see that with this set, the team at The Kiwi Co. set up their set to include a jeans tucked version of the bodysuit, which makes for a great ability to wear them without concern of clipping. The jeans also have enough give that you will probably get a great result with other bodysuits you may have, which just makes it a must have combination, that and the fact that you can also hide and show the bows, so they have more versatility across looks, always a bonus.
Again speaking of versatility, the hair by Navy and Copper has so many options in the cap, it has strapped closure, or the bow, so pretty, with piercings at the brim or no piercings at all, metal options and it has leather or suede texture sets, and we all know I love hat/hair so this is a winner for sure.
Also at the FLF Birthday Bash was this skin by Glam Affair, that I purchased in both packs, because one never knows how one is going to feel season to season, we don’t all tan or pale out the same way all the time. Packs like these heavily discounted and coming in all the tones is a great way to really see what your default you may end up being, or for that matter how many defaults you plan to have. You may really lean into the seasonal changes in skin tone, and this is an awesome way to test that. Sometimes we just choose one tone starting out and never move from it, in fear now more than ever of the cost associated with past purchases, but don’t limit yourself that way, bust out of that, because you may find out you are an Autumn and not a Spring after all – pretends to be one of those people at the makeup counter giving all the advice on highlights and your colour composite.
Another fun item I picked up at The Bash, I seriously just want to keep calling it that now…is the headphones by FACS, these are such a cute little item, and while they should be on my ears etc, the great part of Second Life is being able to just move things, make them work how you feel they work best for you, and I just liked the idea of pulling them down, wearing them around my neck and maybe the music is still playing and I can hear it that way, or maybe I turned them off to help me understand where on earth did I put my darn keys.

A believer
Years ago while shopping on Marketplace, my partner gifted me a bikini. I was excited, I unpacked it, I put it on and had an ‘oh no’ moment. Do not read this thinking there was anything wrong with the bikini, there was not, it was a perfectly created bikini, system layer, all the straps lined up, it was well made, well executed and so on, there was just one thing wrong with it…it had the Australian Flag on it. “But I thought you were Australian” I hear you thinking to yourself, yes, yes I am, but as you may have noticed, Australians are a different kettle of fish, or perhaps it is just me, but I do not think so. You see, this Australian does not Australia represent in that way, give me a Union Jack bikini, and I am living my best Ginger Spice cameo in Flushed Away pants wearing life – seriously I watched the movie and got a union jack texture and made pants using system pants layers immediately and ran around while Mel laughed at me. Ok rambling as I do, it just is not the normal I tried to explain to him, for Australians to wear Australiana as we call it, it is a souvenir and that is for tourists or as gifts to family overseas. We would send an Australian bikini to someone, but wearing one is not the normal, especially not a sexy one. Where as in the U.S wearing the flag on anything and everything is the norm, it just hits different down here, usually if you see someone in Australiana stuff, it was a gift from a traveling relative, someone decided to go to somewhere else here and buy you a souvenir of their trip, but it is Australian, and you are Australian and you are in Australia…which made me realise, we would possibly wear Australiana stuff outside of Australia just to represent or be brats, or both. He thought I was odd, he had many questions, but yes, it is just what it is and everyone I know feels the same way, sometimes guys are different, but again, it comes down to gifts, someone gave you a flag tshirt, and your other shirts are in the wash and you are only going out on the boat, so yeah throw it on I guess…or you won it with a meat platter at the R.S.L and yes, again, things happen (someone is going to tell me this is not the case, but in my own experiences it is, as a consumer and a retailer so nerrrrr, and if you come at me on this I AM DOBBING).
So when I saw that Believe had this set of Koala stuff recently, at first glance I was like, oh lordy, how did that end up a thing, but then my eyes travelled around and I was OH EM GEE , and off I ran, to grab this set, for two parts of it only…the garter you see at the top of my leg and there is a branch holdable that is just as adorable. You see all bets are probably off when it comes to Koala’s and there was a time in the late 80’s when our souvenirs got a bit more cute, but it was a blip, but the little squeezable paws open so I can clip onto your pen, or cap or mirror Koala is something I think all of us have had at some point, it was definitely something we had as kids in the early 80’s often as prizes by teachers etc. He was cute, he was small and he was a koala, it was not so much about being a tourist, or representing it was just our little dude. So when I got the set, I could not help myself but chuckle at the idea that Mel would see it, stand there and remember and be like ‘ I thought we didn’t do that’ and then I would have to give him another chat about exceptions for cuteness…instead he didn’t see it, so I had to show him the pic and then explain what I thought, what I remembered and fill him in on how this was going to go down, and yet again he was probably thinking ‘ it is not easy being a banana’…which is also an Australian exception, because honestly, if the Big Banana had a bikini, I would have probably worn that – look it up.
The greyness of it all created the colour styling for the post, and I was definitely delighted that the garter fit perfectly with the top of the built in fishnet stockings of these Breathe boots. They come with lace or net options, and I just love that the laces down the sides are separately changeable so that I could add a splash of red. I love grey and red together, it is just so nice, grey is so versatile. Also being able to change the sole to red also made it pop. Then moving on to this dress, this dress and the fluffy sweater hoodie worn with are from Lunar and honestly the options are wild. I actually bought the whole set, which also has a long dress version, but options are that the dress has built in underwear and that colours separately from the dress and then you have opaque as worn for the dress and then a bunch of opacity options, as well as metal options for the tiny clips on the shoulder straps, then you have a trillion colours to choose from if you go for the whole pack, but also many colours to choose from if you just buy as singles. Definitely check her pack pricing though because she gives a huge discount on packs. The longer version of the dress even has an AO, again the included options are amazing, as well as the sweater as that comes included with the longer version.
Speaking of awesome the moment I saw this hair by Exile I just knew it was for me and going to my favourites tab. The combed back with height style of it all is just gorgeous, and fierce, the whole style is just attitude, and I was waiting until I had enough of that for the rest of the look before I put it on to showcase. I am wearing it with one of my favourite hairbases also, so the hairline differs slightly, but that is just because I have it on under all my hair usually. This style is so cool too, because it keeps everything off your face, and lets me show a skin I picked up from Tutti Belli, the fact that it is called Luna and I am wearing Lunar is just a fun bit of bloggers fate. Going back to some softer features, and with the great brows from Nuve, I am as stated feeling Fierce and also Fluffy at the same time. Adding a bit of glamour with the necklace by Yummy, this is an older piece, but still hits a home run for me, I love the bow tied ribbon back of it also, things like that that people rarely see, just bring me joy.

Time is Fleeting
Everyone is feeling that things are just whizzing past right? it isn’t just me. That being said, I still do the oddest things, like instead of watching a show or movie, I open up Youtube Shorts and 2 hours will go past at what seems like a blink, but mathematically it means that I have just watched on average at least 300 shorts, based on the concept of not watching every single one to completion, and just skipping past some within seconds. That is way too much intake in two hours, and it is just horrible, but it is definitely addictive. A lot can be said for the less is more factor though, taking in a lot more information, in shorter bursts, there are times that some of these videos teach me something, I feel lucky to have seen it etc. Sometimes they are reminders of things you forget, especially when it comes to shorts on software, quick blender tips, short photoshop tutorials, things like that. Snippets that make you wonder why you pay 190+ dollars a year for a product that you barely use, and only use about 10% of it even when you do…sorry my subscription is due next month, I am a bit ragey at myself.
There are many discussions about waste, fast fashion is often thrown about, how stores waste perfectly good food and so on. There are definitely other huge wastes that we participate in, wasting time is just the one that seems to hit home more often, especially with Social Media…I spent years never really going near it, other than to post my blog posts and run, I enjoyed my time with my friends in world, in skype calls and I liked it like that, it also meant you could stay away from drama, as was often a daily thing in some of them. That has faded away in a huge way though in the past few years, so it hasn’t been so eeek, argh, run, and more oh I like what this person has to say, oh look at that, and the peppering of RL content in there, reels and the like, mean that I can also lose time and unfortunately focus by going to do something for a moment and realising I just spent an hour scrolling stuff. I feel that the constant scrolling, the constant short form content and the bits and pieces of way too much going on has broken my brain. That is why this graphic cami top by The Kiwi Co. resonated with me so much…that and the fact that it was one of the few that was not being naughty. I can just imagine how hilarious it was compiling the options, and making the HUD, absolutely tickled is my guess. So if you are in the mood for this kind of statement piece, you best get to hopping over to The Kiwi Co. because it is currently a weekend deal, so you want to get the goodies for a great price.
Also from The Kiwi Co. these boots are made for all sorts of things, not just walking…So many colour options and the special inlaid two tone option in black and beige had me very pleased. I had mentioned a few weeks ago, buying the Yui set by Orphic and how the shorts were a tad ‘oh my’ at the back, well I decided that if I was going all graphic, I may as well really be graphic, even if it was just on my own studio platform. They look so innocent from the front, and they really are not that bad, I am over exaggerating, but they did surprise me that first demo, they also have a great assortment of colours in the pack. Trying to keep my thoughts in check, I went with the Artist Tablet by Stoic, another thing in RL that I have spent way too much on over the years, I think my current tablet is my third, and the only time I ever use it is when fixing hair if there is some kind of alpha situation from lashes or something, honestly it is not easy being a banana – that is what Mel says to me when I say some of the things I say or do ‘ well it is not easy being a banana’ he is not wrong. Adding a bit of colour to the very black and white look of it all, this awesome ombre black to pastel pink texture option in the Truth hair Pillow was perfect, I love the lose waves of this style, and of course the behind the shoulders option, which allows me to show off the great country themed style of this necklace by Sigma.

Unique New You
One of my favourite things about Bakes on Mesh, and I have possibly said this in the past, is the ability to add a bit of uniquely you to your look, with some very easy steps. There are of course ways to do this with purchased items of course…chances are not everyone is going to stack 14 tattoos the exact same way you might do, You may wear brows that are not sold separately from one skin, with another, and the freckles of yet another to create your combination. It may be a mesh item that is kind of your trademark, even if everyone else at some point has worn it, you never leave home without it etc. I pick up bits and pieces of myself that way…I have the belly button area heart shaped if you look very very close, freckle I added a few years ago. Then I have my face freckles I made, also years old now. I found a scar in a skin pack by She Said Destroy in the past 6 months or so, and as soon as I put it on I found it not only seriously cool, but I was wearing my year long Bobby Trio pins that I rarely detach, so now I just tell people that the scar is from one of them slipping and cutting my lip. I find it hilarious that I have a hair related injury. Then the other day I made these face hearts, because why not. I am not sure they will be a forever thing, but at this time in SL history, I am the only person that has them…these ones I mean, because of course others may have face hearts, but these are mine, I made them, they are placed where I put them, and my freckles are mine and my belly button freckle is mine and while the bobby pins were a gift I had out at Hair Fair last year, I am probably the only one wearing them as much as I do. That is all it takes, in a world, where we buy the same skins, the same clothing and footwear, accessories and body types etc, we can be as unique as we want to be, with some very minor effort.
There are so many programs out there now that allow for free editing, Gimp being one very popular option, and getting the SL Uv’s and even the different body and head UVs has never been easier. Creativity is encouraged as much as possible, and if you are Premium Plus for instance, all your uploads are free, and if you are not Premium Plus, there is the Beta Grid to test on before you know that that is the final texture you want to work with, and you can upload it for one cost instead of all the FINAL, FINALFINAL, FINAL3, NEWFINAL, NEWNEWFINAL, version you may have tried first. Start off small, if this interests you to do, even if it is just a simple freckle on your back, adding some colour to your ears, or whatever floats your boat, now more than ever that itch to be a bit more your own creation is about and who knows, it could be that small step that leads to bigger creations.
Another thing about Second Life is that we have serious ‘Hive Mind’. While, I mention that no one is going to stack 14 tattoos the way you do, funnily enough it could actually happen. I also think that going in under the hood so to speak for all Residents of Second Life, is a good thing, at least once, at least one time, find the UV’s, find the software, and make something, even if it is to type a word and see how it lands on your skin, and so on, see what it takes to create something from scratch and not only do you get your unique twist, but you may have a better sense of how much effort went into the thing you bought recently. I did a post on making Alphas etc in the past HERE maybe that can help you along with making something of your own.
While it is fairly evident, in not only my blog posts but also my videos that I am not enjoying Summer right now, because in the whole other half of the world it is Winter right now, and it is cold. So today’s look is a bit of a weather change look, it might be sunny out, but a bit of a chill could hit, and so this works effortlessly. The Lofi hair by Lamb is fantastic, it has many texture options for the beanie, and an off option for a logo that I am not showing, but does appear on the beanie by default – love when you can turn that stuff off. Then you have the ability to turn the whole beanie off and just wear the hair, which is definitely more bang for your buck. I moved away from my usual black hair for this post, which is funny seeing as it is one of my often identifier parts that make up Sasy, often it comes up as Sasy and her black hair. This ombre look suited the beanie vibe well though, and the braided style. I also loved that it looked like I dyed my hair using the run off from a new pair of jeans – I cannot explain how I think, I just do. The top is also from Lamb, and it is so pretty and has that perfect stretched closed look that gives it a bit more something something, than just sitting there being pretty.
I needed that warm, even though even in the cold I wear short sleeves often, the armwarmers by Cynful were just perfect, they come from the Bisou Sweater dress set, I do enjoy when you get extras like that with an item of clothing, that you can then wear with many other things. There are so many different colour options available also, and PBR or regular Blinn Phong versions. Now moving down we have a somewhat recentish release by Fashionably Dead. These are the Sour Cherry Jeans, and they are torn and worn to perfection, with lace mesh panties that come with. Now full disclosure here, depending on your AO and how you stand or move about, these will clip at the front, as in the panties will push through the jeans, this is the way Second Life is sometimes as we know, so if you plan on spending the day/night dancing around, perhaps a set of Bakes on Mesh underwear under them may be preferable, but the lace ones are so cute and again you end up with a set of panties that you can use with other things. There is a matching corset that they go with, so it is a Lingerie set with an outerwear outfit combination. Going a bit street with my look, I wanted to add my very much loved oversized fishnets by Miwas, I love these, as you have seen them many times by now, but they just give something to the look that I want, and there is no denying it, even if not your taste, it is just how I like them, I also love fishnets under torn jeans.
Moving down further, this is where I get on my blah blah about shoes and feet and pants and stuff. So I love my Slink Feet, and I love the shoes I had when I wore them and them only, body etc…so when it comes to wearing footwear with more recent reborn purchases, I do not always have the footwear that will go with. So because these are pants, and because Reborn allows for hiding feet and toenails via the HUD not by a bom layer alpha – Thank you for that – I am able to wear my Slink feet instead and then wear whatever shoes I feel like wearing. So do not limit yourself if you have an abundance of inventory that is still usable in this way. Also I checked the shoes are still for purchase, so I am still crediting a product that is buyable, by those wearing the items they were made to fit. They are the TEEKS shoes by Reign and they are just a lovely slip on and come in a great colour range,l actually they come in their own colours as well as previous Blueberry colours, so that is just a whole lot of great colours to choose from. The rings by Sigma, also MOD also fantastic, allowed me to tint to match the yellow and I was feeling very warm, but also bring and full of sunshine at the same time.
