"Firebrick.  That sounds familiar, doesn't it?  Nooooo. That was "Fired Brick". Oh my. So many color names.  The two have differences of course. This is a more normal red hue, not near brown at all. Looking back at all the reds we have done on this journey this would probably be my choice if I just had to pick a color to represent RED." Read more on the blog.

"It looks like this darkish neutral brown is fairly close to my blog color and the background I have set for my browser. Who knew?  Actually Pantone's wenge is lighter than my sample below which is Sherman William's wenge.  But-- we have had color so similar I rebelled again.   If you like the lighter version then go for it; for me it will be this:" Read more on the blog.

"It is week three on our journey though the color wheel -- with some unlikely colors courtesy of Luna Jubilee's challenge a decade ago. This week's familiar color was number 47 back in 2011, khaki." Read more on the blog.

"It took awhile to put this outfit together, there are so many possible versions and colors as well as shoe options -- oh my -- in the Abigale gacha from deviousMind. But I had my pose and I had my location and I learned long ago how to get redressed without getting undressed. So deep in the heart of Babbage Canals where I had a shop for a time, I put myself together a piece at a time. " Read more on the blog.

"SL image makers, here's a fun challenge: Recreate a movie poster in Second Life, tag it #SLMovieTribute on Flickr, and I will choose some of my favorites to feature in an upcoming post. I'll also feature them on my Flickr in a a gallery. Deadline is November 15." Read more on the blog.

"A chill is in the air, that damp time when the seasons change once again.  Walking the streets at Templemore City, it didn't take me long to find a photo op spot. Feeling a bit Parisienne in my jaunty hat and stylish coat, a city backdrop was on the agenda -- and happily easy to find." Read more on the blog.

"I saw the challenge on Twitter, a blog written by Wagner James and decided to have a little play …. yes I spend hours in a water sandbox with an animesh shark treading water until I found a swimming AO !" Read more on the blog.

"Not too surprisingly Pantone had a huge selection of examples of this week's styling choice -- all very different from each other.  I went for the middle ground and then, just to REALLY cover my bases, used three tones of our neutral palette." Read more on the blog.

"This month (October), it is Breast Cancer Awareness. My mother was first diagnosed with breast cancer. That was one of the worst days of my life since she was my friend, my rock, and the only person in the world that truly loved me unconditionally. She had the operation and went into remission. Unfortunately, not all cells were caught and it spread into her body to finally find a home in her pancreas. I lost her 3 years ago, which still feels like yesterday." Read more on the blog.

"The color this week is dark, rich and mysterious. Not quite black but on its way it mimics the clear sky when the moon is full. This week's color is MIDNIGHT BLUE:" Read more on the blog.

"Hey secondlifers we are back to surf the trends wave, today we'll give some spices to our social medias with those super cool gadgets, that can animate, make sing, and morph your avatar selfie, we try together Wombo AI, Artbreeder, REFACE, MyHeritage, can't wait to see yours so much fun !"

"White. Easy!  This is a good time for a sign of relief when delving deeply into our virtual closets. I found this pretty little dress right away and it worked for me.  And as long as we are working with white, a white backdrop seemed appropriate too." Read more on the blog.

"Our color this week is in the mauve family but lighter.  My styling didn't quite hit the color mark this week but I so liked this retro dress from AnaMarkova I couldn't let it go. So call it Mulberry or Red Violet which is closer to its Pantone designation -- your choice." Read more on the blog.

"I really was dreading the appearance of yellow -- pale yellow especially. That is one thing I am pretty sure is missing in my inventory.  I am writing this obviously BEFORE I come up with my styling for week 4; some hard shopping may be in order." Read more on the blog.

"Not surprisingly a search of my inventory came up zero for "umber"; not an umber in site.  And this is the third brown in our journey -- where is BLUE? Where is ORANGE (well I am not too keen on orange really).  Obviously I am a bad picker of numbers, but they will all come around eventually, so let's tackle UMBER." Read more on the blog.

"This challenge was issued by my SL sis I N G A, I had a lot of fun putting this together and I hope others partake in this challenge. It's not everyday I get to use my human avatars." Style details on Flickr.

"New month, new photo challenge! Let’s kick off June with even more fabulous prizes!  This month’s challenge is sponsored by the fantastic Emerald Couture.  We’re super excited and thankful for their generosity! Take a look at the rules and then get those shots into the FabFree Photo Challenge Flickr Pool  from June 1st – 30th!"

"Having good luck finding items of this color (or huds that included this color) the styling went quite easily -- amazingly since this is NOT my color :D.  I am thinking that after wandering through our inventories for weeks, they are becoming more friends than chores; I hope so anyway. " Read more on the blog.

"This was definitely one of my favorite weeks and I am not a particular fan of yellow. But it is SO cheery and cheery is good these days. And I have always loved this hat, a perfect pairing for my retro day dress." Read more on the blog.

"Back in green territory more or less with ASPARAGUS.  I remember vaguely when this was "the" flavor of the month color. Searching Google for asparagus being the color of the year got me nowhere however so what decade (or even century) this was is in question." Read more on the blog.

"Periwinkle is hard to find these days.  Likely it was more prominent in decades past. But happily some outfits have huge color huds and even if those little squares are tiny on a big screen -- eventually a eureka moment comes and there is the color of the week." Read more on the blog.

"To join the first of the challenges, copy the template below, answer the questions and repost on your favourite social media platform with the hashtag #SLEAARTISTCHALLENGE." Read more on the blog.

"Today I'm bringing you a new episode of BE Talk! In this episode we take Bee Haze's SL Challenge!" Click to watch the video on YouTube.

"It is midnight in Paris and the place is bustling.  And here we are in yet another red outfit, this time "brick".  So far we have had mahogany, jazzberry and just plain red -- and we still have mulberry to go. Oh my! And I didn't count cerise in there!" Read more on the blog.

"I was well-versed on PLUM from the original challenge a decade ago. For a very long time this post, "Where Does Plum Begin?" was in my most viewed pages of the week. It would pop up from time to time and year to year so I remembered the post title easily. That's a good thing because blogger doesn't seem to search all that well when you have almost 6000 posts in your blog!" Read more on the blog.
