I really cannot do a tutorial to save my life. I get by in Second Life on a wing and a prayer but if I am going to do a tutorial its with my lovely Thelma at the helm.
Short and sweet with the odd moment of nuts just to make it less boring and you wont notice how awkward I truly am.
Todays one is actually something so simple but many people don’t know. I didn’t know till I met Rosie, seriously 10 years on!!!
By the way the outfit Serasim 1/2 price at their discount outlet.

I figured I’d do the whole giveaway with a bit more fun than usual and so my character Thelma is doing it.
Yes it’s my real life birthday today. Not really much to celebrate given I cannot see anyone to have a cuppa and slice of cake with.
So my virtual can celebrate old age and still look as fresh as the day she was born. Other than the giveaway I’m just sliding through this day in reality as quiet as I can be.
It had to done right? I mean you agree? Thelma had to be given a job.
Not just any job, she has been entrusted with doing the Bite Size tutorials and using her very extensive knowledge to impart skills to her viewers.
Of course she has her own style. In that now Thelma feels part of the work force again and will earn pennies for little Trevor. Trevor is an aspiring child model and Thelma needs to ensure he gets the best portfolio for him.
It’s 10am and I’m on my balcony. I’m seeking the “light” with my bottle of bleach in hand!
Not really. I’m just relaxing in the sunshine.
If you have seen the news you will know what I sarcastically refer to.
I’m not even going to say another word on it because there are no words that can convey my true thoughts on this latest pile of doo doo.
What I will say is for god sake please don’t take it literally and go and try this madness.
You can listen to stupid, but don’t enact stupid.
On another note I’m on my balcony as Vitamin D (aka sunshine) is great for feeling more positive. So I’m practising vitamin absorption
Oh news time. As of Sunday I’ve been invited to an Australian podcast as potentially a regular slot.
Christ help the world.
This is as my Real self. Fingers crossed I don’t nose dive. Nervous? Yes but excited too.
Apparently when I appeared last weekend for a chat on how Covid19 is in the U.K. people wanted to hear more of me. So what the hell, why not!
Today I’m blogging eyebrows. I know right. But it’s on the Nova BOM head from Lelutka and I bought it especially for BOM appliers. She is rather cute and saved specifically to do applier blogs. Her face is reflective of my earlier writing. The eyebrows are cool as in emotive they raise lovely. Go A R T E!!!
During the current crisis around the world, Thelma has made a decision she not only needs to keep herself fit but she also has to influence others to join her. Thelma is now a Social Influencer!!
She has created the #SLIsolationWorkout challenge.
Sharing on all social media to get all our virtual world self isolators into the challenge and doing fun things to smile and feel better.
So the challenge has no prize. It simply is about everyone coming together to bring a smile and show the world that there is more to life than our feeling sad and despondent about our situations. We are after all , ALL in this together.
Simply, create a video, photo, meme made in Second Life or even Sansar and tag it #SLIsolationWorkout
Lets have some fun and just make people smile and lift each other up rather than fall.
If you are feeling giving you can also donate to the World Health Organization to help gain aid for people who are not as fortunate as many of us are to COVID-19 Response Fund in order to get essential equipment out.
Find charities in your local countries via your health organisations to aid toward donating blood and funds as well.
Remember, social distancing and make sure you follow the guidelines of washing hands, not touching your face when out in public and where you can wear a mask if you are in busy areas. Those are not hard to make yourself. It doesn’t matter how silly you feel, its better to be alive than embarrassed.
I’ve noticed a lot of mixed thoughts and differences appearing on social media the past week or so about COVID-19 and how people are relating to it.
This isn’t the time to argue about whether or not someone used a mask in a photo, or a merchant is making profit from COVID-19 merchandise. Is it?
I don’t believe people are choosing to offend or to be upset on the flip side.
Many merchants sole incomes are made in Second Life. Remember that too.
We are ALL in this together. But I totally agree that in terms of anything related to this epidemic, they should be educational and light relief. Not salacious scare mongering.
We all are dealing in this time of let’s face it an (unprecedented in our lifetime global emergency) in many different ways.
But, make sure that you show respect to those around you who you may not know are personally suffering from. Remember, you may be perfectly fine in your world but someone else is not.
Show respect and be kind about how people are dealing.
We are humans and deal in different ways. Some find laughter, some find reflection and some deal with the harsh reality directly in the face.
Whichever way you deal with it remember that not everyone deals in the same way as you.
I personally am a laughter person and so hence my Thelma in isolation videos. They will continue as she finds herself facing what we all do. But in a light hearted way to only make you smile.
Because at the end of the day I’d rather laugh than cry. This is last weeks episode if you haven’t seen it.
Some days we just have to take life less seriously!
I mean come on, people buying tons of dunny roll because of the Corona Virus.
I’ve been shaking my head for over a week now trying to understand this madness.
Can anyone please explain the significance of toilet roll? Please?
I understand the whole hand sanitiser thing. That actually makes sense. But bog roll?
Me personally it’s a good reason to stock up on Corona beer. Lets face it that, I could understand. Get it while it exists before it decides to rebrand itself.
In the meantime there is a serious side to this thing sweeping across the world. That it’s hurting people.
So despite all the memes and jokes we all make, it’s tragic for the people who have passed and frightening for those who come into contact.
All I can say is don’t go crazy. There is no need to wipe your bottom more than is needed.
Seriously, no need.
The way the media around the world is reporting they’re not helping with scaring people. Bad reporting makes money and confuses people . People are confused what to believe and what to do.
In the meantime let Thelma take you on a virtual Virus epidemic. Let’s just relax and enjoy the world.
I was talking to a rl friend and was showing him all my characters in Second Life and how each one looks and sounds.
He asked me a very good question
“Who are you?”
Well the answer is actually quite simple really.
I am Liz.
But all these characters are also me.
They are slithers of my personality drawn into the virtual world and let loose.
My main persona is Isabelle Cheren. As we all know. But the essence of each person I am in a video character is me too.
Yes I’m either insane or in touch with myself so much that I’ve split .
Or simply why not laugh, if you can laugh at yourself?
But the main thing is, these characters are very much a creative expression when life in the real world just seems so crazy. They have helped me through difficult times and when I need a friend, I can just call on one of me!
I’m kidding on that bit. But imagine if you could?
So today who is this in my blog?
