SL ARTS & LITERATURE: Another One Bites the Dust


While preparing  another feature, this notice came across my virtual desk from Jilly Kidd of Written Word announcing the closure of the London School of Journalism (LSJ) operations in Second Life :

“We're sorry to say the LSJ is leaving Second Life in mid-March. Do pop over to enjoy this lovely island in the final weeks and to enjoy what the LSJ has been doing here.

“We're grateful for the space the LSJ has provided for writers and for writing events . . .  The LSJ teaches writing in a variety of forms as well as journalism and has a great free contest on the website every month, so stay in touch.”


While no specific information is available, it is not hard to connect this closure with the recent change in the pricing structure that eliminates tier discounts for Education and Non-Profit land owners on the Second Life grid.

ArtFest for Flood Relief

ArtFest is a charity art competition to raise funds towards helping the recent flood victims in Australia, Brazil and Sri Lanka. Lives, homes and precious farmlands have been lost in every place, it will take many years to fully recover.

Need Some Fun in Your Life? Check Out Pando!

I'm always looking for something fun to do--not only for myself but also for my daughters and granddaughter and the myriads of friends who might stop by, bored, needing something to do.

Saturday afternoon, I had my mind set to go to this one particular place on the grid and ended up on Pando instead--and needless to say, I'm glad for that. There is SO much to do...and it was MORE than fun.

Let the fun begin

Things Virtual People Like



Sometimes, I wander around SL, ask the same random question of people, and then speak for every avatar in the game. I have the authority to do so, as I am the Sports And Leisure Editor and because I also have a picture of myself in front of the White House press conference thingy.

Monday, February 21, 2011

1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington S.L.


Just a quick note to let you know that February 21st is President's Day!

Stop by the White House and wish the President a happy birthday, or whatever.

SL does have a White House, and whoever put it together put a lot of effort into it. Walk around the grounds, visit the Washington Monument, and do all that other DC stuff. Try to not make any sudden moves near the Secret Service.

Stacey knows George Washington from her time in Virginia.

TRAVEL & INSIDE SL - Churches in SL - Shon Charisma Reporting

Fort Augustus Abbey on Loch Ness
Link to Real-Life Abbey


I like to visit places. It's a big part of what I do in Second Life. Can't get to Paris in real life? Check it out in SL until you get there for real. Want to see the Statue of Liberty? Then take a TP to New York in SL, and in a matter of seconds you'll not only see the Statue of Liberty, but you'll also see the 911 Memorial. When I'm in the mood to have some peace and quiet, to think and not be disturbed, I often find myself searching beautifully crafted churches in SL for solace--and there are many of them--some where services are held and some where just for the beauty of the real life version, they are created in Second Life.

Barbie vs Malibu Stacey


Not a lot of people know that, in addition to my duties here at the SL Enquirer, I also am a well-known figure in the world of professional wrestling on SL.
I'm not actually that good... I'm the smallest white adult out of the 1000 girl wrestlers at Divas, and I win about 10% of my matches. This 10% goes up to 15-20% if I fight solely teens and Asians.
One way I supplement my income is by doing model work for wrestling magazines. It's not technically porn, although I do get stripped a lot. Like I said, I'm not really that tough.
For February's issue of Battling Girls, they had me fight Barbie. I'm not sure if it was a Barbie vs Malibu Stacey doll fight. I'm pretty sure that Malibu Stacey isn't 5 feet tall and French. Either way, this Barbie was my size, so I may actually win one.
Pick up a copy of Battling Girls (which also has a gang of other fights, including what I believe is the last fight of the late Susan B. Breen) at these fine locations.
***That picture isn't from the magazine... it's from another one of my fights, against Manda Aries. Guess which one I am?

RFL NEWS: Relay For Life is back in Second Life!



For immediate release

It’s February! And Relay For Life® of Second Life® is back for some more fun and fundraising!

Teams’ registration for the seventh annual Relay For Life of Second Life opens on February 14 in preparation for fundraising from March to July, culminating in a 24-hour walk around a virtual track.

MamaP Beerbaum, the RFL of SL 2011 Event Chair, said: ‘We’re ready to go! The 2011 committee has been busy working behind the scenes and we have an amazing group of passionate volunteers who are going to make this the most fun and successful Relay For Life that Second Life has seen.’

The revolution WILL be televised...or whatever you call SL

As-Salamu Alaykum!!!
If a revolution is happening somewhere, there must be equivalent hysteria in the SL version of that country, no?

Now, I'm the Sports Editor here, and usually don't cover events of great gravity and importance. For instance, the article I have lined up for Tuesday has me wrestling nude in it. However, I was the SL Reporter who was on when Mubarak stepped down in Egypt, so it fell to me to go to Virtual Cairo and sample the mood of the people.

Hey... most people in America learned of John Lennon's death from Howard Cosell, so eff you, hater!

Valentine Town Stacey Cardalines Reporting...



Sports fans are pretty much right at the top (trailing only bachelors and Alzheimers people) of the list for People Most Likely To Forget Or F*ck Up Valentine's Day Somehow.

Part of this is my fault. The ratio of Sports: Romance in this column is hopelessly lopsided, which is amazing when you consider that the author is married and speaks a Romance language.

However, we have you covered today. I'm writing this early, because you want to strike early with Valentine's Day. We'll handle where to take her in a future article, but today we are focused on Where To Shop For Her Beforehand.

Start off at Valentine Town, a shopping mall with a Valentine's Day theme. A very cute Bubble Pit serves as the fountain for this mall. It is surrounded by a wagon-train of stores that cover flowers, necklaces, chocolate, lingerie, cheap stuff and even gag gifts.

Even a total moron spouse should be able to gather up some sex-worthy Valentine's Day goods in one stop here. This frees him or her up to watch more Sports, and it was good.
By the way... it's the 14th, dummy. You're welcome.

TRAVEL & INSIDE SL - Pictures from Art Maze 2011 - Shon Charisma Reporting...



Last week, while traipsing through Second Life, I received a notice about Art Maze 2011. The notice mentioned evil clowns and well, I just couldn't pass that kind of notice up. I took the limo to Art Maze, and all I have to say is wow. Just the parts I meandered through made me feel like I was on a psychedelic trip of epic proportions. The colors, movements, images almost attacked the senses and definitely, at some points, had me on edge--especially the evil clowns. There was even one point where Ms. Charisma had to run...and run fast.

Super Bowl Stuff To Do On SL



While SL is generally viewed as an alternative to the real world, what kind of Sports column would this be if we slept on the Super Bowl? As it turns out, SL has plenty to offer the Football Fan in the virtual world.

First of all, the Super Bowl provides me the chance to add to my totally unnecessary huge pile of cheerleading outfits. Off the top of my head, I have the Celtics, the Patriots, the Red Sox, the Saints, the Puckettes (maybe 25 varieties), the SLCS, the Bimbo Cheerleaders, and several that are sort of generic but I liked the color.

I went with Green Bay this year, more due to the fact that I needed some pom-poms in the Green Bay color scheme thaan to any particular allegiance to Wisconsin. My Saints pom poms could pass for Steeler pom poms in a pinch. I also didn't want to wear a Ben Roethlisburger jersey, as he was involved in a few date-rape cases and a serious fan like myself can't be bothered with answering complaints while the game is on. I might end up having to kill someone.

Either way, you can make that decision yourself while visiting Flashpoint Fashions. They have hundreds of teams covered, cheerleader-wise. I'd like to use whatever clout this column wields to have them make a BC cheerleader outfit, as I have a degree from there.

If I come around on the Steelers, I may get a nice Hines Ward or Troy Polamalu jersey from the Sports Fan-Attic. Another good spot is Violations Inc.

Now that we have you dressed up, you need somewhere to go, no? Why not watch some virtual football? The SFL has a game this weekend. Watch the Polano Chargers take on the BOSL Browns Saturday at 3 PM SLT.

Here's the link to the SFL stadium.

That, my friends, is a full slate of Super Bowl fun and activity! Enjoy the game!

FASHION - MISS EAGLE’S RAVE FIRST SEMIFINAL

Last Friday, the 28th of January, Eagle’s Rave Temple hosted the first semifinal of the homonymous beauty contest, the first Miss Eagle’s Rave 2011. The show started at 12:30 pm sl time, and saw on the catwalk five girls, non professional models, showing all their abilities to conquer the first two places, giving access to the final on the 25th of February. The five models have been requested to parade in three different outfits, in order to give a complete and adequate judgment on the whole. The lingerie outfit was meant to show the avatar proportions, the combination of skin and shape and the whole avatar appearance. The casual and elegant outfits on the other hand were meant to judge how the model combined the dress with the different accessories; that is hair, shoes, jewels, and yes, also the different AOs and poses used for the outfits.
