TIA
A simple yet sexy look that is also fun and ready for an night out!!

DEREK
The weekend shopping, lol, I was waiting for the longest to find a fitting t-shirt for those pants which came in a package with the boots, ZOS is great if you want a Neo-Goth look and Cordewa surprises each week with new ideas.

ABOUT Derek
love taking pictures since day 1, and just as long I’ve been making blog posts, the latest and longest with my Alt since 2008. Since I retired him last year, I wrote a few articles about the future of SL fashion with the help of AI, You can read them on his blog: https://mix-and-mesh.blogspot.com

• Your job, business, or creative projects – My current hobby is documenting beautiful avatar looks in SL on my flickr https://www.flickr.com/photos/198385627@N03/
• Communities or groups you’re involved with – only with my partner and a few friends
• Favorite places or events – too many to mention, but do visit SLEA6 guys, it’ s amazing
• What keeps you coming back to Second Life – what a question, I live here 😉
• Anything else you’d like readers to know – just enjoy SL and don’t lose your faith in people here, not everybody is a jerk!

About You: Easy going, straight guy from Europe, often keeping American hours. Enjoying my time with my partner Tia.

ABOUT Tia
I am extremely outgoing and a music afficianado…I enjoy seeking out live singers, great DJs and parties with a great banter and music that elevates you to another level!! I do not work on SL, I come here for fun only after a high stress corporate job left me just needing to “let my hair down” LOL.

I do not have one favorite club, as there are so many to experience with music from A to Z that just leaves you wanting to more!! I just came back to SL in January 2025 after being gone for 5 years and my life on here has definitely gotten better and better……Every day there is so much to experience (shopping, shopping, shopping!!!), people to see (partner and friends), and places to go!!!

My most beloved sim to visit is Calas Galadhon and their events teamed with FlyGearz have to absolutely be the most outstanding events one could ever experience. The staff and crowd is friendly and the love flows from everyone as they continue to dazzle the crowds with outstanding sets and choreography, leaving you breathless. Just amazing!!

SL is a big part of my life and I am so happy to have gotten to meet so many people who mean so much to me. I have a wonderful partner and friends–SL has my heart and soul!!! ♥
