Subculture Inworld
Hi gang. I’ve been having technical difficulties with the Second Life Marketplace since they eliminated magic boxes. Even though I’ve tried to follow their new method the site crawls like a turtle for me and doesn’t show the new stuff I’ve sent to it. I would encourage anyone who shops at Subculture to come to [...]
How to Wear Two Alpha Layers in Firestorm Viewer
Now that a lot of people wear mesh clothes with an alpha layer that comes with it, a question has arisen about how to wear two alpha layers at the same time. Shoes in particular, be they mesh or prim, often come with alpha layers too — and if you try to wear them with [...]
Mood To Remodel
Yesterday I was in a mood to remodel. I try not to make drastic changes in Moonletters town, but now and then I like to see something different. Well, I found something I liked at Inverse. It’s a fully furnished ocean cottage called Malibu. I love nautical things, paintings of ships, etc, so this build [...]
Want to Be a Model?
As a promotion for Subculture I’m inviting models (or wannabe models) to submit photos of themselves wearing a Subculture outfit. RULES 1. You should preferably wear the full Subculture outfit in your photo, but if you choose different shoes or add accessories please note where you got them so credit can be given. 2. Photos [...]
“Might fit if your ava is anorexic”
Got a review of one of my dresses. “Might fit if your ava is anorexic. . . ” With a statement like this I knew I needed to bring out the big guns to defend. Here’s proof that non-anorexic people can wear clothing from Subculture. I rest my case!
Mod Target Night
Would like to say thanks to DJ Slate McLeod for promoting my dress at Friday’s “Mod target” night at Dugi’s Soul Mods. A few of the ladies showed up wearing it — thanks to them too! Here’s a quick snap I took. L-R: Gemma Undercroft, Aston Mindes, Dugi Rubble, Lupo Lexington, Shauna Vella, Slate McLeod, [...]
Mesh it Is
Mesh in Second Life can be great adding realism to buildings, clothes, and even avatars. It often lowers the prim count of objects too, which is good for land owners. Once I was actually able to see mesh (I was on a viewer that couldn’t for a while) I became a fan of it in [...]
Hero and Villain Event Tonight
DJ Slate McLeod is hosting a Hero and Villain event at Dugi’s Soul Mods tonight 1pm SLT (9pm UK). The premise is simple. Come dressed as either a hero or a villain. I should be sneaky and not tell my costume until the party, but what the heck. I’ll break that rule and give you [...]
Feel Lucky?
I added a lucky dip machine to Subculture today. Sure, there’s a few “booby” prizes inside it, but there’s lots of cool stuff too, including outfits from the store, art, gadgets, etc. Men, you can participate too. If you pull out a dress the clothing is transferable so you won’t be stuck with it. Give [...]
Surprise Sale at Subculture
I’m putting new Subculture outfits on sale for 100L starting now until Tuesday. After that they will go back to the usual price. I know people usually put older outfits on sale, but this way is more exciting! Visit Inworld: Subculture @ Penny Lane
Getting Natural Ash Hair
While there are hair stores who offer a variety of colours to choose from, I find many neglect to offer shades in cool ash brown. You’ll find plenty of golden or reddish tinted brown, but for some reason the cool shades tend to be neglected in light brown hair packs. Why is this? My guess [...]
Couture Chapeau 50L Hat Sale
Just got word from Couture Chapeau that they’re having a celebration sale this weekend. So much to celebrate! – 5 years creating and selling hats in SL – 50th anniversary of Independence of Trinidad and Tobago SO all MAD ABOUT HATS in red black and white are only 50 L until Sunday midnight!

We are the Mods
I’ll be DJing at Dugi’s Soul Mods tonight at 1pm SLT (9pm UK) playing mod, 60′s, motown, ska, and soul. You’ll also hear the usual favourites like The Kinks, The Who, and Small Faces. Bring your scooter if you have one, and if you’re a woman who needs a dress try Subculture on the Markeplace. [...]
Paul Shops at Subculture
I get a variety of people in my store, but today one of the Beatles popped in. haha
Mesh Clothes For People With No “Back”
I know for sure that Sir Mixalot did not design the standard sizing for rigged mesh skirts and dresses in Second Life. In order to fit into them you must either be Kate Moss’ skinnier sister, or you wear an alpha layer to hide the bits that poke out. What were they thinking when they [...]
Almost Free Dress From Subculture
Hi gang. I’ve decided to give one of my dresses away for just one linden! Doing so allows me to be nice to newbies who don’t have much cash yet; and it’s also a way to get the word out about the store. It’s called “The Vella Dress” and is flexi and menu-click resizable. Collar [...]
Shaga Realistic Eyes
I’ve tried out a few different eyes (all blue) but have to say Shaga Realistic Eyes is my favourite so far. I would have happily paid for these since they’re the nicest I’ve had, but you can get them for just 1 linden on the marketplace. More colours are available for 10L each or 75L [...]
The Free Dove
I’m not usually a fan of freebie places, but for people new to Second Life who have no lindens, a nice place with no-cost items can be a welcome sight. One place I visited as a newbie is The Free Dove. The store has been around for seven years and you can find a variety [...]
Haircut
Yesterday I wrote about getting new hair in Second Life. While it usually seems that Second Life imitates first life, today it is the opposite. I got a real life haircut that looks quite similar to the bob I’m now sporting in SL! My husband likes it. He says it looks better, that I look [...]
Raw House
I don’t change my hair often, but I was in the mood to wear a bob, something I used to have back in the 1990s. I’ve always loved bobs. They’re so retro modern, trendy yet classic. And yet, I usually look better with long hair. At first I wore this just for snapshots for Subculture, [...]
U.One
A few months ago I told you about a place called Popart Furniture where you could get some nice looking stuff for practically free. Well, I recently paid them a visit again and discovered a store right beside them called U.One. Here you’ll find female skin and mesh outfits for just 1 linden. Though I’m [...]
Age-Realistic Avatars
We can look however we like in Second Life, from being an idealized version of ourselves to another gender, race or species. We can change our appearance whenever we like, and I love this about SL. It’s cool that people can look on the outside how they feel on the inside. I tried to make [...]
Mynerva Skin
Ok, you will rarely see me write about skin unless I’m poking fun at some guy who still looks noobie circa 2007, but I’m going to make an exception today. First off, while I try to get the best skin I possibly can, I’m also not a fan of changing it regularly. I’ve probably changed [...]
Little Girls
Saw two little girls shopping in Subculture today. One had a mix and match of more than one of my outfits to make her own look, right down to the coat and maryjanes. I thought they both looked adorable so asked if I could take their picture. Note: Their names are Laci LuikOk and Loto [...]
Victory?
Before I started Subculture Clothing store there were only three or four stores I would shop at in Second Life. One was Izumiya, a little shop located on a quiet Japanese sim. It would have been my favourite of all time due to being unique and stylishly modest, not to mention prices so low even [...]
Color Me Second Life
Years ago I read a book by Carole Jackson called Color Me Beautiful. The book lets you discover which color tones look best on you. You do a test and learn which “season” you fall into based on your hair, eye, and skin tone. For years I thought I was a “winter” which allowed me [...]
WTF Are You Wearing?
My friend Josie gave me a link to this. The site is called WTF Are You Wearing in SL, and it spotlights the worst fashion and avatars you’ll find in Second Life. It’s incredibly funny unless you happen to be the one in the picture being laughed it, but even then it’s probably still funny. [...]
