Being So Bad Got Me Feeling So Good

Alicia Chenaux

It’s strange, but I’ve been feeling a lot more like myself lately. Or, I guess I should say, the myself that I was many years ago before SL and RL drama happened and I went downhill and all that jazz. Maybe it’s time for the Leo in me to shine. Maybe it’s going to be a hot girl summer. Who knows? The possibilities are endless!

If you haven’t been out to Collabor88 yet, it’s definitely worth a visit!

Listen, I’m going to be real. That’s basically the “Club” outfit that’s in the library under the new avatar packs. The skin is a freebie from Stray Dog and the head was at Lelutka during Christmas. I just needed a guy prop and my malt did the trick now that he’s looking decent!

All The Pretty Girls Walk Like This

Alicia Chenaux

I realized earlier that I don’t do a lot of shoe posts these days. Not that there aren’t fantastic shoes, and obviously I wear and show shoes in this blog, but I just don’t do a “Look at these shoes” posts like I used to. I used to do blogging/vlogging for the old shoe events, like Shoe Fair and Shoetopia. It was always so fun to see how I could feature whatever footwear I had. Maybe that’s another goal for this year – do more shoe posts!

Anthology is where I picked up these fun heels, so run on over and get some, too!

I’ll Keep A Light On In My Soul

Alicia Chenaux

I’ve never really been a winter girl. To me, winter can start on December 1st and then January 1st should start “slightly cold spring.” And by the time I get to February, I’m ready for actual spring.

Luckily, I can have spring and summer all of the time in SL. I used to always have my region changed for the seasons. I even thought about doing that again this winter, but I’m so glad I chose not to. It would have been a lot of work for just one month! Although, I am getting the urge to redecorate again… Maybe. Possibly. We’ll see where it goes. To be honest, I’ve been incredibly uncreative lately because of my mood. I think if I started redecorating, it would just look crazy. So maybe I’ll leave it for now and just shop for things that I might like to put out at some point. Shopping is usually the answer!

Fameshed is open for the month and it’s really SUCH a good round!

What You Give Is What You Get Returned

Alicia Chenaux

So my friend Gogo doesn’t like it when people just do lyrics and a photo for their blog, but I’m basically just doing that today. Sorry, Gogo! I don’t have a ton to say and this month has been 17 years long, so I’m not exactly chatty. I was listening to this song last night from my early 2000s playlist and this part kind of got to me because even though the song came out in 1999, it feels very current to 2025 for some reason.

Also, Anthem is starting on the 3rd, so get ready!!

I believe you can’t control or choose your sexuality
I believe that trust is more important than monogamy
I believe that your most attractive features are your heart and soul
I believe that family is worth more than money or gold
I believe the struggle for financial freedom isn’t fair
I believe the only ones who disagree are millionaires

I believe in Karma, what you give is what you get returned
I believe you can’t appreciate real love until you’ve been burned
I believe the grass is no more greener on the other side
I believe you don’t know what you’ve got until you say goodbye

Someday Love Will Find You

Alicia Chenaux

I have to admit, I’ve been in a bit of a bad mood lately. I’m very much over this whole “recovering from covid” thing. I’m tired of coughing. My back hurts quite a bit because I had an enormous coughing spell that probably pulled something. I am just so incredibly DONE. And, as such, I’ve been a bit of a pill lately. But at the same time, it’s been a little bit freeing to just speak how I want when someone does something that’s really ugly. If they wanted me to be nicer, maybe they should have acted better?

Or maybe I’m just in need of a hot guy to text me “Good morning, beautiful” every morning so that I start my day off with a smile and not as a feral cat. That could be it, too. 😂

Anthology is open! Go shop!

Be Whatever You Want To Be

Alicia Chenaux

A couple of days ago marked my 1 year return to SL. Tomorrow is actually 1 year since I decided to come back to blogging. Well, I say that like there was ever any choice for me. Blogging and doing photos were the main reasons I wanted to come back in the first place. I could have just done photos and not blogged. But let’s be real,though. That was honestly never an option for me.

The past year has been… Well, SL-wise, it’s been pretty decent! RL is a whole other story. 😂 But SL has been good. I set up a new home (well, several, before deciding on my current house), I fixed my land up, I dated a little bit, and I just reconnected with this world that I truly love.

What’s the plan for the next year? I really don’t know! I want to get better at my photos, make them more interesting, etc. I hope to get involved with blogging for at least a couple more events, since event blogging is my favorite. Maybe I’ll date again? Or just go out more in general? Or find a new house? Who knows! SL keeps moving, so I’ll just keep moving with it.

I’m Still Fighting For Peace

Alicia Chenaux

One of the things I really want to do this year is do photos that aren’t just “Hello, this is my outfit.” Because that’s not really fun for me all of the time. And it’s hard as a blogger to toe the line between being creative and also showing off the items that I feature. But I think the trap a lot of bloggers fall into is just the straight ahead, standing in front of some background, posing nicely type of photo. And some people do that very well, I’m not knocking it! But I don’t want to because I get bored. I want to do photos that bring me joy and are creative, along with also showing off the lovely items I have.

If we aren’t always trying to better ourselves and our art, what’s the point?

Speaking of bettering yourself, how CUTE are my butt bow jeans from The Kiwi Co?! When I saw these, I got an idea of how I wanted to show them off. The sweater and the boots are also amazing, but the bows! THE BOWS! They make my butt better, and they can make your butt better, too!

And I Could Be A Pretty Girl

Alicia Chenaux

I have to admit, I’m in a bit of a creative funk with my photos lately. I feel like I’ve been sick in some way since Christmas, and exhausted since 2020, so I don’t know. Maybe that’s it? I’d like to be more creative. I really want to get better at photos, too. There used to be a lot of people on YouTube who gave tips and tricks for better SL photos, but I don’t really see that anymore. Someone get on that, please! Especially with EEP and PBR, things have changed, and we need help! Or I need help. But probably others, too.

Speaking of YouTube, I have an idea for a series of videos that I hope to get started on maybe towards the end of the month. I absolutely love doing the Equal10 walkthrough every month, but I think I’m ready to start doing a few videos again for my own channel, too. But not right now because covid has wrecked my voice. Soon, though!

That’s The Moment I Shine

Alicia Chenaux

Many many years ago, I used to host an annual “New Year’s Eve Eve” party in SL. I started in 2009 and kept it going until 2017. It was always a lot of fun. I don’t have ANY plans of hosting a party any time soon, but I do miss them on occasion. It was always so fun to get all dressed up and see people that I may not have seen since the last one. I don’t really get dressed up and go to parties anymore. Not that I couldn’t. I just… don’t. Maybe that will be one of the things I do in the upcoming year.

This year was a terrible year for me in so many ways, but I think I will definitely take some good from it, too. I came back to SL. I restarted my blog. I started truly working on my mental health. My mom is finally in a place where she is cared for and I don’t have to worry so hard. They’re not huge things in the grand scheme of life, but they are huge for me. And maybe in the upcoming year, I can add more to that and find my way back to even more things that I have loved, like doing YouTube videos for myself and streaming more on Twitch. I don’t really do resolutions. I have aspirations.

Have a wonderful new year, and please be safe if you’re going out on New Year’s Eve! I’d like to start the year with all of you. 💜

She’s A Million Moments

Alicia Chenaux

So I’m going to be honest. I had some issues with my dress today. It’s gorgeous, don’t get me wrong! I absolutely love it. But from the vendor ad, I had no idea my lady garden would be out! 😂 And I’m assuming for a lot of people, that’s not a concern. Maybe it’s even rigged a little differently for other bodies. But I put on the dress, no underpants, and laughed because, oh, HELLO. Luckily I have little “cups” that cover the goodies, and BOM underpants that match pretty well. But I still laughed because all I could think was “Well, that’s one way to celebrate the holidays.”

Anthology is OPEN! Go now and treat yourself for the holiday!
