Adventures in SL 2.0

everyone has been weighing in on the new sl 2.0 and i’ve been too busy to really go though and see what i like and dislike about it. i tried it on the day they brought it out and spent about 10 minutes it in and it left me with a sour taste in my mouth honestly.

please click on the cut to keep reading. be warned, its long and full of pictures!

Glammy Night Out

so i’ve decided maybe to make wednesday the “from nimil’s closet” day. we’ll see if i can come up with crap hah. i’m always helping friends find cute outfits and stuff so i figure i’ll bring it to the masses.

for my first rummage though the closet i bring you a glammy outfit to wear for a night on the town.

this dress is called diva and it can be found for free right now at bijou. it also comes with a cape but i decided the dress was much cuter without it. the skin is one i’ve never worn but got from La Sylphide. i think it was either in the subscribe o matic or it was a gift from the starlust motel hunt. i decided to check out today and wow i love it! i will probably wear it much more the hair is from one of my favourite hair creators KIN and it is called trish. anyone that knows me knows i love hair in my eyes. finally the shoes, omg the shoes… this is a pair of belles from shiny things that i nabbed at the shoe expo. i could not pass these up!

Rundown:
hair – Trish (black) by Kin
skin – ingrid light – smoky starlust by La Sylphide(i think this was a subscribe o matic gift)
dress – Diva by Bijou (free at shop)
shoes – belles (black) by shiny things

Wednesday Review: SL Social Networking

ok so some of you may know (and most of you probably don’t know) that i am a nerd who enjoys joining social websites. even if i don’t do anything on them, i am all over the net, because it used to be a means of entertainment for me before i got on sl and now that i am on sl, it’s a way to keep in touch with the outside world XD

so of course there are sl social networking site! and i am probably on all of them if not most of them. so tonight *looks at clock* i plan to review social networking sites catering to second life users.

the first site on our list is second life profiles

main site | link to my profile

this site is set up pretty much like myspace. customizable, blogs, photos,  comments etc. the profile is broken down into 2 seconds. first life, and second life. giving you a chance (if you want) to tell people about both your lives. the photos are also split like this which is kinda cool if you want to show people who you are in the real world

it’s down side is.. just like myspace, alot of it’s members are.. well… barbie dolls. which is ok, but… i get tired of the sparkley comments!

second on my list is sl.me.com

main site | link to my profile

pardon that profile, i’ve not updated there in a LOONNNGGGG time.

this site is alot like the other site. typical sl myspace. the home page is a bit more interesting, giving you stats about who’s been looking at your page, as well as ratings on how hot you are (aparently i am only a 6??!!!?!?!) and info on new group posts, new friends blogs, etc. you have the ability to customize things on the page to a crazy degree. even adding new boxes to it as well as colour styles and what not. the photo section allows you to make albums whee!

on the down side.. again… sparkley comments from people.. as well as a freaking text limit on the about you section! UGH! i hate text limits!

the last profile site i’m going to hit tonight is a new one that i just joined after reading about it on ryker’s blog.

this site is called rezzednet

main site | my profile

this site has already got my attention just by the fact that it is produced by aubreTEC Labs who happens to be one of the best defense creators in sl. (hello i love psitech)

beyond that, and my fangirling over the aubretech thing, this site is very nicely made. a good clean web 2.0 layout and it seems like so far the people who have joined are more of the intellegent sect of people

another cool point is that you have to register in world! very cool!

also albums and all that junk yadda yadda

it’s cool! lol

anyway that’s all of my blah blah blah’ing today. feel free to add me on any or all of those profiles.
