When Hamlet asked me to highlight my favorite posts from my Friday Fashion blog column, the first one I thought of is: Second Life Blogger Reviews Virtual Hotels – Yes They Exist & Some Charge Over $12/USD A Night! 

Before I came across The SL Hotel Inspector, my idea of hotels in Second Life were the so-many-lindens per hour skyboxes and rendezvous rooms where landless residents hooked up to test the animations. However, unknown to me and many others, there was a thriving hotel industry for virtual tourism offering experiences far more varied and sophisticated than jumping on colored balls. The blog was a revelation.

J. Rabbit

Ani Euleenberg’s Cinnamon  is another favorite post. Her blog is sadly infrequent, but it’s very worthwhile. I love those bloggers who write about their outfit or about themselves. When it’s only a picture and credits, you almost have to wonder why bother with a blog when you can just use Flickr. People who write offer more than a look, they share a part of themselves.

Stairs To The Sky

Friday Fashion Blog: Beauty & Grace Covers Second Life Style With Descriptions Worthy Of A Real Life Fashion Blog is another favorite because it celebrates the kind of blog I love, one that describes the fashions with the voice of a fashionista. I love, love, love it when people describe what they are wearing. And Grace does it beautifully.

    Blogs that most never read or the boring fashion promoting once again the addition to shopping like there is nothing more to SL.
    Isn’t there any blog depicting travel to cool sims?

    Thank you so much Cajsa! I started the Hotels site really as a form of pandemic therapy when RL travel was largely impossible, and I’m glad that people still find it useful.
    @Isabella, in answer to your question my go to blogs about sims (in addition to NWN of course!) are:
