Cajsa Lilliehook covers the best in virtual world screenshot art and digital painting
Making a list of my favorite Second Life fashion blogs of 2023 is so hard. My first time reading through all my posts about blogs, I ended up selecting a couple dozen excellent choices all of which could easily fit my list of faves, but it’s easier to pick my top choice than my top ten.
To start, I am obsessed with Gross Rizzo. See my post: SL Fashion Friday: Rockabilly / Kawaii/ Goth / Grunge Styles By Gross Rizzo. This pic is from her NYE celebration and yes, that is a cockroach. Somehow this seemed a fitting introduction to my annual checkup on the state of the blogging world.

“🇺🇦 Miss Little Shiny Dust 🇺🇦” from Lori Novo’s blog is hands-down my favorite post of the year. It captures the magic dust that makes Second Life such a miracle among the virtual words, those chance encounters that open our hearts and sometimes break them. I love that Lori Novo set aside the fashion and instead shared ways to help Ukraine.
And now for a few more posts about blogs that stood out for me this year:
- SL Fashion Friday: Seriously Inventive Styles By Emily Nuyasaka
- Second Life Blog Of The Week: Lucky Spiritor Tells Stories With Screenshots -- And Creates An Impressive SL Tribute To LeBron James!
- Short Stories & Machinima From Second Life Created By Huckleberry Hax
- Second Life Fashion Friday: Dramatic Male Styles From The Wildness Factor
- Watch: ATG, A Cable News-Style YouTube Channel For Second Life News & Sports!
- Fantastic Friday Fashion Finds From SL Style Blogger Venus Von Deep
- SL Fashion Friday: High School Styles Plus A Fun Pillow Fight Attachment
- Fashion Friday: Fantastic Sci-Fi/Fantasy Cosplay Styles By Hugh Thanasia
If there is a theme to my favorite blogs, it is:
Do something different. Tell stories. Be gross. Be aliens the world has not yet discovered. Play in SL. Meet people. Make friends. Find a niche. Find a void and fill it. What are people not covering? Be fun. Be authentic. Be you in all your SLonderful brilliance.
