Insilico Cyber City




I'm so in love with this gorgeous Cyberpunk-inspired cityscape - Insilico. It's an environment filled with gorgeous futuristic towers and buildings on a world that is forever shrouded in grey twilight and fog. It's a role-play sim with it's own community and back story - and the landing area is surrounded by shops where you can outfit your avatar in the appropriate cyber-punk attire and weapons. I'm a huge fan of the movie Blade Runner and this amazing build reminds me so much of the stunning production design of that film.


I have yet to get involved in any role-play in Second Life. Maybe I just don't have enough imagination - but on the other hand what I love about SL is that it is free of any restrictive story-lines or roles - I can just wander and explore to my heart's content. Getting caught up in a bunch of rules and restrictions doesn't appeal, but I can see how it would be fun to step into a character in this gorgeous sci-fi setting and meet other players in this way.


I don't feel too out-of-place in my new Superman outfit here, but it's not quite the correct genre. I really should be wearing more bulky body armour, lots of belts and pouches, a cybernetic replacement limb or two, some giant boots and a selection of weapons if I really want to fit in - all of which are for sale in the retail area of Insilco.


...But it does still make a great back-drop for my new costume! lol!







This outfit is actually a Superboy costume, based on the original outfit that the current DC Comics Superboy (who is young clone of Superman) wore before he switched to a less colourful jeans and t-shirt ensemble. It's available at Heroic Life, which makes some of my favourite super hero costumes that I've seen so far in Second Life. Plus, they make some un-branded bodysuits and accessories that you can combine to create a super hero of your own - very cool stuff! 

The creativity and stunning artistry of Insilico and Heroic Life are everything that I love about Second Life!

Super Encounter

I was hanging out in this awesome location - Xeniversity - the other day taking pictures of the gorgeous scenery/architecture and I just had to share:







... when I suddenly noticed a rather super-looking visitor:




I was going to ask him where he got his fantastic Superman suit (and those kicking boots!), but was feeling a bit shy, so I didn't. But it did give me the idea to go looking for one mysef.


After browsing around some amazing shops I ended up settling on this one by Heroic Life, with some fun boots added from my inventory:




...and then I went back to Xeniversity to take some more pics since it makes such a fantastic backdrop! LOL

Hanging with the Teeny Greenies







I've been hanging out in a hilarious place I've just stumbled across this afternoon - Greenie's Home!

I've always wondered what the world look like from the perspective of my cats and this fantastic place gives me a pretty good idea. It's a studio apartment where everything is scaled waaaaay up, and it's being over-run by very curious (and very cute) little green aliens.






I love the decor in this place - it's so retro and very similar my childhood home, right down to the avocado cupboards and sunflower wallpaper! And I can even crawl around under the sink just like I did when I was a kid. Awesome.




I've just started exploring Greenie's Home. I'm sure there's much more to see but I just had to share it with you. It's sooooo made my day! :)

Slightly Drafty Halloween Outfit





 After all the gruesomeness of the last post I felt the need for some pretty-pretty, so I figured I'd show off my Cheezy Halloween Stripper outfit.

Just for my own amusement - I haven't actually worn this look anywhere. Maybe next year. :P
