About Faye

I am just a simple creative person who enjoys playing pretend in Second Life. I am not an official blogger or anything of that capacity. My work is my art and I just use SL as a creative outlet & extension of my self expression as such- and occasionally to make a bit of play money to support my pretend shopping sprees, of course.I am also the glorified pesky photographer & nagging creative assistant for Mercurial by Violet Mercury. Occasionally we collaborate on products, but the store & all of the 3D work is her own. I am not the store owner and I cannot help you with your products, please refer to her profile and follow official avenues for product support instead.However, if you have a question about how a photo was taken or what product was used, I will try my best. Don't be shy to reach out on social media, although I am terrible at it, I love to meet other creatives & individuals.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Who are you?
My name is Faye! I’m an avatar on Second Life, behind the avatar I’m just a nerdy artist girl living in a small town with nothing to do, which is probably why I got back into Second Life right before the pandemic hit. If you want to learn more about me, view my profile on Second Life!Q: What viewer do you use for Second Life?
I use Alchemy as my primary viewer, and Blackdragon if I’m taking high-quality photos. For an official list of viewers, see here.Q: What body/head do you use in SL?
I primarily use Avalon from the Lelutka EvoX line and Reborn+Waifus or Legacy Classic depending on the avatar. I also use the Warm Animations Deformer HUD for more control over the shape.Q: What shape/skin do you use in SL?
For obvious reasons, I do not share my exact shape with others, but here’s what I can tell you: Faye’s shape is built off of a shape I bought from Lunacci as a base. I found one that I liked, followed the style guides, and modified it to my liking. The exact shape I bought is no longer for sale in her store because it was from before she rebranded, but she has lots of equally cute shapes if you’re looking for an anime-esque shape. Just follow the stylecards she provides there.Q: What do you do in Second Life?
Nowadays I mostly shop & build in the privacy of my own parcel(s). I’m a shopaholic and weekend sales are my favourite activity in SL! But I also love chatting, exploring with friends, and taking photos to share to Primfeed. I also help my girlfriend manage her store, Mercurial. You might see me answering some basic questions or posting notices on her behalf.Q: How do you earn Lindens in Second Life?
As you’ve probably heard from other folks, anything you do you can build a business around in SL- whether its social networking, event managing, creative work & building, or starting up a roleplay business. I’ve always made my Lindens from doing creative work like art or photography for other people. I also did escorting for a considerable amount of time. My girlfriend earns a real living wage as a 3D artist in SL, but for me Lindens are just play money, so I’m content to spend them as soon as I make them. If that sounds like too much work, just buy them like everybody else does.Q: What are your favourite shopping events in SL?
I always make sure to hit up Hentai Fair, but other than that I don’t usually shop events. My girlfriend is a regular vendor at events like Tokyo Zero and Kinky events if you want to catch one of her booths! For weekend sales I mostly browse Happy Weekend & So Kawaii Sundays.Q: What other games do you play besides Second Life?
I’m not very interested in traditional games and mostly prefer the slow-paced life sim & sandbox genres, such as The Sims. I played TS1 & TS2 when I was younger, and now have most of the expansion packs for TS4- although I have never played TS3. Some other games I have nostalgia for are Animal Crossing, Zelda, Pokemon, and Sonic. I have also dabbled in Minecraft and FFXIV, though I have no intention of doing multiplayer on any of these games. At the time of typing this, I am playing Nintendogs again. =)Q: How can I chat with you?
A: Feel free to add me on Facebook if you want to connect, I will add almost anyone there. I usually do not respond to private messages from strangers unless you have a general inquiry that I can quickly help you with. I will not add complete strangers in Second Life, I prefer to meet in-world and have a proper conversation so that I know we share some common ground first. However, if you happen to see me active in-world, feel free to say hi!Q: What do you do in real life?
A: I prefer to avoid talking about my RL in-depth outside of my friend groups. But what I’m willing to say is that I live in a small town in the states together with my girlfriend of over a decade. Most of the fun stuff to do is more than a half-hour drive away, but we like to order takeout and picnic at the local park. I’m dying to live near the coast again because I desperately miss the beaches of LA. Oh, and we have 5 cats that we love very very much! Here’s a few pictures from home:
