Just when you think you have so much time to shop in Secondlife, Easter comes around and sweeps you off your place. This year’s Easter was interesting since there were a lot of stores that decided to do something extra after 2 years of hardship.
Luckily this year I came prepared and had already asked someone to make something special for a dear friend of mine. But what did I get for myself this year, I really wanted to at least change 1 thing more on my body before I throw out my hair and skin from back in the days.
So onward to the store where I bought my skin, only to find out they had completely redone their store which also meant that my original skin (read 2017) was no longer an option. Bummer but at least I was able to find a skin tone that looks almost the same as my original one.
“Where did I leave all those paintballs … I wish my brain wasn’t this hazy at times”
When I heard about the event that Zaara was going to be hosting, I had to think back about the early days of Secondlife. Your hair getting stuck in your butt, region crossing that would eat you “alive” and of course the long waiting times when a region was filled to the brim with people that wanted to be the first to get an item that a store had put out.
Luckily this year Zaara was throwing an amazing party for those to wanted to celebrate Holi, a two-day Hindu festival that originates in India. Her region was turned into an amazing place complete with the paintballs and the water pistols who we sadfully weren’t able to use. At the end of the event I managed to take Monica to a spot in the Store that allowed us to sit down and relax.

“Well, after a long period of time … it’s finally come to this day. The 8th of January 2022 is when my life changed”
This could have been the start of a long roleplay story but in reality it’s the beginning of my journey as a Mesh person. Many people have wondered how I got to this point in my SecondLife and asked me to document the journey.
“Hi, my name is Johan and I am now a Mesh person” would be the best first introduction when I met you on the 8th of January. Earlier that day I was pointed to the Belleza blog in which it mentioned that Jake, their male mesh body was on sale. Curious as I was teleported to the store and saw that it was nice looking and even came with a huge discount so my finger hovered over the buy button for about 1 second.
“Belleza Jake has been delivered to your inventory”the message showed on my screen, what have I started ….

In the upcoming blogs we will see how I find clothing all over Secondlife, maybe even find a mesh head that fits my shape. I wish to extend a big thanks to Monica Querrien for allowing me to document this through her blog.

There seems to be a discrepancy with the Oh My Gacha! event. I had found out about the event by looking at people’s blogs, and I used this landmark to get there. You land inside a house, and in order to get to the event, you walk out and walk down a path. Other people have been blogging this landmark for the Jersey Shore. From what I can tell, this landmark is the main location, and it’s from here that they have info on the event. However, the landmark leads you to the same location. I tried doing a search for the Jersey Shore, and I landed in yet another place. Very confusing indeed – I am glad that I was able to find it in the first go.
Lingerie: The Sugar Garden(.tsg.) – Sentofuku – Saturn
Oh my Gacha started on January 1st, and it will end on the 31st. This gives you plenty of time to look around the place, and play the machines to your heart’s content. According to Seraphim SL, a new round will take place every 3 months.
This was the first time in a while that I played gatchas and was happy with the 1-2 items that I received from each vendor that I played. Playing gatchas at the Arcade is fun, but there are always items that I know I’m not going to be able to get, and compromising on items kinda takes the fun out of it. The scenery here is beautiful, but like the Inspiration Point hunt, the scenery was hard on my computer, so I had to turn my graphics down and turn particles off.
I love Sailor Moon! So I was excited when I saw this lingerie. It comes with a bra and a panty, collar, and a bow. I wish I would had been able to wear my Lolas for these but I have yet to get the skin appliers for this skin.
I haven’t worn mittens in a while, so I decided to get some from [bubble]. I got the rare on my first try! ^^. I also got a jacket from cheeky.
When I uploaded the photo, I realized that my windlight significantly changed the colors of the items…whoops. So this is a shot of them using a windlight that doesn’t add any color to it.
Vases: ::A&A:: Winter Berries Vase Gacha – red & green
I so wanted a white vase! I got 2 greens, 1 red, 1 purple, and 1 teal vase.
