The four of us have known each other for more than 10 years now. Each of us has our own time on and off of SL. We all play a role in this blog, but I have to give a big shout out to Aria Rose Uwu. She's been grinding, making photo sets, setting up the HQ, making her own posts to upload, being our primary social media guru, and of course, shopping! Thanks for your commitment to Pixel Swagger and to us as friends, Aria. Pixel Swagger is and will be even more successful, in large part due to your dedication. 💞


On this reload, we attempted to get as close to our original post as we could. I think we are beyond thankful that half of the old creators are not in SL anymore! Even though our outfits are similar to each other, it's kind of neat to look below and see all the different stores used in this.

Who is Pixel Swagger

As most of my blogs always did... it all started with a song.... 


In July of 2013, I decided to start Pixel Swagger.  I invited 2 of my friends Teegan (Jazi) & Aria (Heavs) to join me on the adventure.  Little did we know that Pixel Swagger would blossom in to a very successful venture for us!  We expanded and eventually had around a dozen bloggers posting for us.


100th Blog 2014


The best part of Pixel Swagger was the diversity! Many different shapes, sizes, genders, and species Some of our bloggers had sponsors, some did not. What you saw on our blog was real artwork. Real people behind an avatar create their own masterpieces. Nothing was forced. No one blogged anything they didn't like or didn't want to because it was "expected" You just blogged what you wanted.

Equals -2014


After a few years of blogging, I ended up taking a hiatus from Second Life to focus on my real life and family. Returning over 8 years later, so much has changed! Some are good, some are not so good. I am thankful the two most real and important people to me welcomed me back with open arms and were so understanding of my hiatus. Don't let anyone ever tell you that the people in SL are not your real friends. They are real people who just have a kickass Barbie that they play with, dress up, and make do weird as fuck shit.

It took me two days to figure out how to put my mesh body on without having a furry-haired base face! Then discovering all of the options that are out there. The textures and the curve-hugging apparel mean that you do not have to spend 4 hours on a pose stand to resize. Or the fake titties, asses, hands, and feet you had to match perfectly to your skin (which was impossible, btw). The fairs! OMG THE FAIRS! It was impossible to avoid the magic of SL.

So here we are. three experienced SL women who have shopping addictions.

and 𝓝𝓸𝔀......



The original Pixel Swagger has been lost in a forgotten email that cannot be recovered. Maybe someday? So here is our fresh start. Our commitments on this blog are to ourselves. We promise to share the things we love and enjoy. Fashion, decorating, terraforming, and probably some embarrassing fails as well.

I am very fortunate, and I get to work from home. As I sat in my lazy leggings and hoodie working in my office in RL, listening to music.. The song Work from home came on.  I͎N͎S͎P͎I͎R͎E͎D͎!  What would I wear in SL to represent working from home.  I mean I sure as fuck would not wear this to work in RL.  Again, that's the fun of SL!  

So off shopping I go, to find the sluttiest, work from home outfit I could find.  and I LOVE IT.  After all my first SL job was a 𝕊𝕥𝕣𝕚𝕡𝕡𝕖𝕣.  We will Blog that another day though. This outfit is all GIRLBOSS.  

Thanks to Åяια Řợşє ÙwÚ who now has me addicted to these Maze Soft THIGHS! which made this outfit so much cuter!  Honestly I was totally against the thighs for MYSELF.  But they are such a great feature.  I look back at my fucking stick figure avatar; compared to now LMAO.  What the fuck was I thinking. I am sure those of you whore are SL Seniors like myself can relate.

Please feel free to share your Work Inspired outfits in the Comments or on our 【FACEBOOK】 Group!

BUMBUM Event Inspired!

​🇳​​🇪​​🇻​​🇪​​🇷​ ​🇬​​🇴​​🇳​​🇳​​🇦​ ​🇳​​🇴​​🇹​ ​🇩​​🇦​​🇳​​🇨​​🇪​


The new BUMBUM event was a hit for me! I actually purchased quite a few items.  This specific ensemble jumped out out me!  Again Yellow, a color I normally would never wear.  Honestly I was going to do a yoga outfit, but then I found these CUTE skates @ spoiled while listening to Pinks :Never gonna not dance again: song.  Everything matched up for me; and I felt the vibes.  The AO for the skates is also super cute!

Again, let me remind you, my styles fucking crazy.  I am all over the place. Little bit of slutty here, maybe a modest moment (RARE).  Maybe a dorky costume, or something serious?  OR YELLOW? Dress however you want.  Wear whatever you want. I think that is one of the best perks in SL.  We can be whatever the fuck we want.

This outfit was inspired by the Pants from ::Galagher::.  I am not normally someone to buy yellow.  In fact I don't think I've ever owned anything yellow lol.  I did not even demo them!  I just clicked buy on the spot!  And I have no regrets.  The second I put them on, I knew exactly what I wanted to do with them.  I could not have put this outfit together 10 years ago LOL. I went on a hunt for a long coat. AND OMG THERE ARE OPTIONS!!  Above is my end result.  Its Weird (like me), and I love it.

I am pretty confident I am not the only person who puts on a dancing hud, blasts Spotify, and leaves their avatar to dance while they organize their inventory, or work in photo shop, or even just sit in discord and chat with your friends.

I'll literally jam out - dance in my fuckin chair.. pause whatever I'm doing to throw my hands in the air during songs.  This is MY TIME and it is so relaxing.  As stated in other blogs, my biggest inspiration are songs.  I'll hear a song that moves me, go find an outfit to match it, and blog it.  Sometimes I'll try to replicate an outfit from the music video, sometimes I'll just make my own outfit out of how the song makes me feel.

I challenge everyone to take their favorite song of all time, or a new song that just makes you dance in your chair, and put an outfit together.  Send it to me! Share it below! INSPIRE ME!

I am absolutely in love with doing Before and After" or Then and Now pictures on SL. Not so much in real life, seeing as it ages me quite a bit.
 
Seeing the development of not just the pixels and mesh but also my own personal artistic skills is so inspiring. I am no expert at Photoshop, that is for sure. But I do okay.
 
Recently, we've been taking a walk down memory lane, looking at our old photos on Flickr. Choosing a few to remake and dying over some of the ones we did make
 
These memories are real. They are not second. I've been so fortunate to be able to share my SL with RL people. Who are my RL friends? I absolutely love these girls. They've welcomed me back with open arms. They love me for who I am. And I love them for who they are. We are all different and unique. We each have our own styles when it comes to fashion and attitude! We have shared our most important life moments with each other and shared tears and heartbreak.
