April Acorn returns this Sunday to my Timeout Garden with a short Meditation session from 11:30am-Noon SLT in #SecondLife

This is a great way to de-stress, and April offers suggestions to get you in the zone. She also offers long distance Reiki healing to those interested.

We meet by 11:30am SLT and after some relaxation suggestions there's 15 minutes of "mindfulness" however way you choose.
While she holds most of her sessions in Corsica continent, April also hosts these all around the grid, and it's our turn!
See you soon.

#SecondLife: Web User Group meeting (4 February 2026)

Does anyone remember when avatars were made to be unique and recognisable, even after outfit changes? Changing the body and/or the head was out of question if it turned out impossible to make the new ones look like or at least similar enough to the old ones.

It seems like these times are long gone in OpenSim. Second Life's "fast fashion" has arrived here. It doesn't matter anymore what your avatar looks like. Especially consistency doesn't matter anymore. After all, why should avatars be recognisable by their looks if they're already recognisable by the name tags above them?

Instead, what matters more than everything else is how new, how high-end, how highly detailed and how expensive in Second Life everything on your avatar is. After all, you don't have to pay for it anyway. Leave the paying to the freebie merchants who export the new stuff right after buying it. That is, unless they manage to copybot it for free instead.

Nobody invests any time into fine-tuning their shapes anymore. Instead, folks pick a mesh head and then one of the shapes that came with the head. If anything, they make the shape even more extreme: even taller, even longer legs, even bigger boobs, an even bigger butt. Anything beyond that isn't worth the effort if they're going to replace the head anyway when the newest LeLutka EvoX heads arrive in the stores a few months later. This is also why so many OpenSim avatars look like they're unmodified complete avatars out of the box.

Second Life users tend to cling to the content they've bought for as long as they can get away with. After all, they've pumped a five-digit amount of Linden Dollars into everything, and they don't want to let it go to waste, at least not that soon. Except, of course, for those who can afford to throw everything away in favour of all-new stuff twice a year or so.

In OpenSim, they've often got much higher-end content and much more of it. But they haven't paid anything for it. So it's easier to let go of it the moment something newer and hotter and better arrives. It doesn't matter that your brand-new head doesn't really look like the six-months-old head you had last. But it's newer and probably better.

Of course, in addition, this post by @juno still applies as well. But another reason why especially many female avatars only ever dress like for an Ibiza club party in summer is: Why bother with searching for clothes for different styles or purposes if you can't be sure that your mesh body won't be painfully outdated in two or three months?

Happening in a few minutes: Second Life Web User Group meeting at http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Denby/73/78/25 #secondlife

Going to the #secondlife shop and hops always make me feel like I'm doing pretty good as a maker. There's just so much junk. I saw notably a shop that I'm certain hasn't updated their items since 2007!

I like to see the stuff I'm not able to make and make heart eyes at it though. I keep going to these to see the cool stuff!

I think I have my 6th rez day on Thursday. happy 6th anniversary also to the purple imp avatar, my first ever avatar mod. I love the NULL Loudmouth head for its flexibility but the expressiveness of the ASR Aeon bento head cannot be beat. #SecondLife

I actually bought a PG item from The Sinner today at the Valentine Shop & Hop. #SecondLife
I still can't believe I got the entire fatpack for only L$350. Seriously....

Thanks to those who joined us. It was a modest but enjoyable turnout today for Imbolc. Song topics included Darkness, Light, Imbolc, New Life, Valentine, Groundhog, Horses & Mardi Gras. #SecondLife #VirtualWorlds #WheelOfTheYear

Dancing around the fire were a hologram, a drow, a gerboa, a steamlander...

Today I danced around the Imbolc bonfire in dragonskin boots (in my #SecondLife guise as @lelanicarver ).

It’s hard to see in the thumbnail, one of the dancers was an adorable gerbil holding a large red mushroom.

Thanks @Holocluck it was a wonderful set.

Altar is set for #Imbolc . Lots of seasonal noms both sweet & savory.
