Sunday, December 2nd, 2007I promise I won’t make a regular habit of posting articles like these, but I felt like this is serious enough to break away from our regular programming.
You probably saw the alert the Lindens put up about the QuickTime security flaw if you’ve logged into Second Life recently, but on Fashion Emergency and some other [...]
Stranded at the Drive-In
Sunday, November 18th, 2007Before I get rambling on my “stranded at the drive-in” story, here’s a really cute vintage sweater that just came in from Marlys Vintage Clothing. The sweater is called Sol’s Equinox c.1966 and I just love it for fall! It has sculpty prim cuffs and collar and just sings of the 1960s. You can’t [...]
Die bling die
Friday, November 9th, 2007I recently received some review copies of beautiful jewelry from Ellana, but several pieces had a bling script inside of them. If you didn’t already know, the official editorial position of Second Style about bling is “strongly disapproved.” But residents (for some reason) seem to love jewelry with bling. That means most every jewelry designer [...]
Cavalli for Hennes & Mauritz… Did He Shop in SL First?
Saturday, October 27th, 2007November 8th will be another great day in the Swedish multinational clothing retailer Hennes & Mauritz. Following designers such as Karl Lagerfeld and Victor & Rolf, now Roberto Cavalli is about to launch a special designer collection for this company. On a newsfeed earlier today I read that during a launch party in Rome, Sharon Stone [...]
This Week at SexySecond
Monday, October 15th, 2007This week at SexySecond we went heavy on the sexy outfits- dresses, skirts and pants- and only did a couple of underthings. (Perhaps it’s the colder weather coming in and making us bundle up). That’s not to say we went easy on the sexy however, as we’re always serving up plenty of that.
Arabeth Laval reviewed some gorgeous [...]
Two new email lists
Monday, October 8th, 2007I spent most of the day wrestling with the email software called Dada Mail. It seems to be operable now, so I made two lists. One of them is Second Style News related — here I will send announcements via email when we publish new magazines, new podcasts, new contests, fashion events in Second Life [...]

New(ish) designer - Gracile
Monday, May 14th, 2007Ciera Bergman was kind enough to send me a landmark for an up-and-coming designer that she knows. And so during one of the rare points where my packet loss was low and I was able to maneuver throughout the grid somewhat successfully, I took a look in her store, and was faced with one [...]
Saeya Nyanda’s Spectacular Photosphere
Saturday, March 31st, 2007Forgive me for this “meta fashion” post — but when I find a great tool I want to spread the word.
Saeya Nyanda — to this point — has been creating interesting “post apocalyptic grunge” furniture and prefabs and is the co-editor of the fabulously designed PWND magazine. But recently she created Photosphere, which [...]
SL Voice beta: Drop by and say “Hi!”
Thursday, March 29th, 2007Linden Lab widened the voice beta yesterday, making it official with this post on the Second Life blog. I downloaded the beta voice enabled viewer last night and after some really annoying problems getting my various hardware components to work correctly — especially the microphone — I finally got all of the issues worked out [...]
How to teleport someone who isn’t your friend
Monday, February 26th, 2007Something non-fashion related, but still something that bugs me every day — post update version 1.13.3, teleporting someone who isn’t your in-world friend is extremely annoying. Today, I found a tip by Torley Linden about how to make it work anyway. Torley writes:
Show the Client menu (by pressing Ctrl-Alt-D) and go to Client menu [...]
