Over the past 18 years I have toured many sims in Second Life and it never ceases to amaze me. Every landscape and detail is like stepping into an artist’s masterpiece and being a part of their unique artwork. I had the pleasure of such a place that took me away on an adventure into someone else's imagination brought to life. Nocturne Estates is one of those places where you feel instantly at peace surrounded by nature and beauty. I had the pleasure of meeting Fiore di Luna and learning about this new venue. I have a feeling it will be a place where others will feel the energy and experience the awe I felt when I was there.

Interview with Fiore di Luna

SLE: Hi Fiore, it’s nice to meet you.  Can you share a little about yourself?

Fiore di Luna: In my "first life" I am a travel nurse. I spend around 48 weeks a year away from home moving from city to city, state to state. With WiFi, my gaming laptop, and Second Life I can take a little bit of home with me on assignment. My passion in Second Life is building, interior design, music and dancing, and spending time with close friends.

SLE: Being a nurse is a selfless profession. Your passion is reflected in the beautiful atmosphere you created in Second Life.What inspired you to create Nocturne Estates? Can you share with our readers what it has to offer guests?

Fiore di Luna: I have traveled throughout the U.S. both small towns and metropolitan cities. I felt most inspired by the forested landscapes, the waterfalls and hot springs, and gazing into the deep blue waters of Crater Lake. I wanted to be able to share this experience with others. Our mission is to provide residents with a haven of refined living spaces surrounded by natural beauty. There are waterfalls scattered throughout the islands, hidden caves, and nature paths to explore. At Nocturne Estates we look to cultivate a community of like-minded members who will enjoy gathering at one of our venues for an evening of live music or sailing out from the marina on an aquatic adventure.

SLE: Your vision is outstanding. While touring the various locations on the sim, I noticed a lot of detail in the beautiful landscapes I explored. Did you design this sim yourself?

Fiore di Luna: I had envisioned a community of sims based on the Pacific Northwest (U.S.) The idea of living in and surrounded by natural beauty is what inspired me to create Nocturne Estates. I was fortunate to have met Poppy Lemongrass and Vitani Frakenstein, the two incredibly talented women behind Catacomb. They were able to see my vision, collaborate, and work alongside me during the design process. I would highly recommend Catacomb to anyone looking for a sim designer. If you look hard enough you'll find their signature tombstone buried somewhere on one of the sims. I would also like to recognize someone that has been a confidant, a sounding board, and a partner in the intricate design and creation of Nocturne Estates, Celeste Pinkney. Sometimes it feels as though we inhabit a shared hive mind. Thoughts and ideas flow effortlessly between us, and we finish each other's design ideas with beautiful synchronicity. Together, we have transformed mere ideas into works of art.

SLE: I will have to look for that!  Do you currently have any rentals available? If so, can you share some information with our readers?

Fiore di Luna: At Nocturne Estates Rentals, we understand that where you live plays a vital role in the quality of your second life. We have an exclusive portfolio of meticulously crafted rental properties available. Each residence is designed with the utmost attention to detail, featuring unparalleled views and a commitment to luxury that defines the Nocturne Estates experience.

SLE: Nocturne Estates isn't just about luxury rentals and amazing landscapes, tell me about Nocturne Alchemy, Whiskey Road and the marina?

Fiore di Luna:  Nocturne Estates will host a marina located near the expansive sailing waters of Fruit and Eden Islands. Nocturne Marina’s breathtaking waterfall views and crystal blue waters create an idyllic backdrop for nautical adventures. Our marina will offer a range of boat mooring options from permanent slips to transient moorings each designed to accommodate boats of various LI.

SLE: That’s a perfect setting for a romantic date on the water.

Nocturne Alchemy is an unapologetically sophisticated nightclub aesthetically designed with eroticism and kink pulsing through every corner inviting guests to transform themselves.  Patrons should be prepared to unleash their inner savage as they revel in the music mixology and ambiance of Nocturne.  We have curated a lineup of top-notch live performers and DJs featuring a selection of EDM, ranging anywhere from heavy dubstep and DnB bangers, electro, house, and chill downtempo, all mixed for our guests aural pleasure.

SLE:  It sounds like you have a well rounded selection of music genres and atmospheres to just relax, people watch and have a great time. Are you currently hiring? If so, what positions do you have to offer and how can people apply?

Fiore di Luna: We recognize that there are many skilled and talented individuals in SL from DJs, live performers, graphic artists, photographers, videographers, designers, bloggers, and too many other talents to list here. We encourage people who are interested in contributing to this diverse and unique community to reach out to myself (divakadupul), celeste.pinkney, or one of our available staff members.

SLE: I’m excited to check out your events. What group can guests join to stay up to date with what’s going on at Nocturne?

Fiore di Luna:  We invite guests to join the group,  [ Nocturne Estates ] VIP. All of our events can be located on the SL Events calendar (search Whiskey Road or Nocturne Alchemy) as well as the monthly calendar located in our leasing office and discord server.

SLE: You have a grand opening coming up on October 6th, What kind of activities will be hosting?

Fiore di Luna: Beginning Friday Oct 6th through Sunday Oct. 8th Nocturne Estates will be hosting a Lollapalooza style grand opening.  We have had an incredible group of talented live artists and DJ mixologists to help celebrate our opening.

SLE: Congratulations on your grand opening!  Is there anything else you would like to share with our readers about Nocturne Estates?

Fiore di Luna: Nocturne Estates would like to send you a personal invite to the grand opening. Please reach out to divakadupul, celeste.pinkney, brooks.conundrum, pegasaurus.waifu, or kimmiewest for an invitation.

BBX Design- A Top of the Line Luxury Yachts & Homes Company for SL’s Elite- Lanai Jarrico Reporting…

When it comes to luxury living in Second Life, there is one company that stands out; BBX Design.

Living like a Lindenaire is achievable for those who have found their niche in Second Life. Many wealthy avatars want high detail and craftsmanship along with customer service they can count on.  Aymec Millet has mastered what the elite of Second Life want with his attention to detail, his use of high quality mesh textures and all the perks that the rich and famous in the real world would want.  

The SL Enquirer is a big fan BBX Design.  We have hosted celebrity style events aboard the Super Yacht Club complete with a fabulous red carpet entrance, live concerts, SLebrity guests and giveaways that would put the average venue party to shame.

BBX Design Yachts are extraordinary with features like a helicopter landing pad so you can arrive in style at your very own SLebrity parties.  Imagine you are dressed to impress stepping on deck with champagne in hand.  Your guests will marvel at your presence.  Raise your glass and toast to the good life as you welcome them to enjoy the luxurious atmosphere aboard your floating paradise. Show them what it is like to live SLife to the fullest by encouraging them to freely tour your yacht. Let the live entertainment create the atmosphere as you surround yourself with colleagues, business partners, associates and clients for networking conferences.

If you want to break away from business and enjoy some leisure time, gather your friends for a movie night in your fully loaded theater room. Impress a love interest with fine dining in your private classy lounge or just sit back, relax and watch the sunset as you enjoy your second life like a true Lindenaire.

After a nice yacht experience imagine retreating back to your mansion with the same attention to high end detail, you can continue living it up with all the amenities one would find living the elite lifestyle. Bask in your success as you walk through the threshold of your private headquarters with views of your beautiful beachfront property where your collection of cars sit displayed in your driveway and your Yacht and watercrafts waiting for you to play with them again.

Are you in the mood to entertain guests in the comfort of your home? Invite your friends and neighbors over for a couple drinks poolside as your personal DJ and chef provide a top notch experience that would make you the talk of the town.  

Don’t just imagine it. Make it happen!

The SL Enquirer sat down with Aymec Millet to learn more about BBX Design and what inspires the details he puts into his Yachts and Mansions.

Interview with Aymec Millet

Lanai: Hi Aymec it is a pleasure to meet you. I am delighted to be interviewing you and just wanted to say I absolutely love the Super Yacht Club and had plenty of successful SLebrity style parties and events on it. I am thrilled to be the proud owner of several yachts and mansions in your 2016 collection, in particular the latest version of the Super Yacht Club v4.0. Wow what a creation! Can you share with our readers how long you have been in business, what BBX Design stands for and what they can expect from your luxury creations?

Aymec: Hello , I am very honored and nice to meet you too !  When I started my creations in March of 2012 , I never saw any party boat in second life.  I started making big party boat and big cruise ships  for parties because Second life has a large ocean and boats are very important. I also noticed that people loved party boats.

I created the Super Yacht Club 2012 model but I updated it in 2013. I upgraded it to Super Yacht Club v3.0  and it was the best party yacht in Second Life because of the size, design and theme. Also, I included the option to make it drivable and added extra yachts and textures. This year, Summer of 2016,   I decided to make a new version for the 4th year So ,  Party Yacht Club v4.0—SYC V4.0 was launched. It is 100% Mesh, elegantly designed with tons of features :)

Super Yacht Club v4.0

My goal for BBX Designs &  Yachts is to continue to make LUXURY and REALISTIC models and not just for yachts.  I also create boats , clubs , homes , stores , buildings , cities and more. Also, full support for each customer always. That is very important.

BBX Friends will soon get Super Luxury Drivable and Static Big Party Yachts and super realistic houses and cities coming soon too. The BBX Design team is working hard on those new products as we speak.

Lanai: The detail you put into your yachts and mansions are awe inspiring. Where do you get your inspiration?

Aymec: From 2012-2014 I worked by myself. But after 2014 I created nice team and we are %200 better now. The BBX Design team is like a family. There are co-creators that work hard together.  Together we work faster, include more detailed realistic work. This is only possible with a dedicated team. We have creators , scripters and managers and everyone does their part. I think it shows in the products we sell.

Our medium size yachts is a hot item that sells great because they are so nice with features like HD quality and resolutions.  We look at customers reviews. If they need something specials, we make it. We also  look at  real life yachts and homes for inspiration for our new models. We really do work hard and nonstop to come up with new ideas for our products.

Lanai: Do all of your Luxury items come fully loaded with furniture and animations? If so, what items are included?

Aymec: We include fully furnished houses, yachts, clubs and more in selling contents and always with full support.

Our 2016 New homes models include fully furnished , low furnished , un furnished models so our customers have options.

We use clean textures too.  The fully furnished houses include animations and poses as well.  Some models have extra perks like yachts and cars in packs.

For example, the  newest homes included all of the above and aircraft too!

Lanai:  BBX Design is in a league of its own. Aside from the layouts, the amenities are fantastic! Can you share some of the perks that luxury seekers won’t find included with other yachts and mansions sold in second Life?

Aymec: Second life has tons of yachts, boats, homes, buildings and more.  I’ve seen lots of realistic models but second life creators use low resolution items generally.  If you zoom in on BBX yachts or homes you can see LOW land IMPACT and HIGH Resolutions.  Low Prim – High Details High LOD – very important.

SILENT House Model

Lanai: besides Yachts and Mansions, do you create other luxury items?

Aymec: I am happy you are asking me about luxury items because BBX Design only creates luxurious things. Yes, all our yachts and buildings very luxury. But we are trying concept models. For example the  SILENT Home model is very natural. It is a concept home that is warm and cozy , low prim  and very realistic.  We are currently making clubs, stores and cities too with great features.

Lanai:  Two of the important things that buyers look for are sizes and prims when deciding what would work for them. Can you share with our readers the various options for your most popular models?

Aymec: My Post Popular Models are low prim and high quality  Plus the Animations are very important. So together, Price , Prim , and Size is a  combinations that is important.

Queen Model

For Yachts, the top selling models are  VEN, Piranha, Taty, Princess , QUEEN , MTR A4 and MTR A2. For Homes it is HEAVEN , Calm , Xuri , and the Silent Home Sold nice too.

The best way to check out our selection is our marketplace page.  Search ‘’ NEW ‘’and customers can see how we developed.

Lanai:  Are your yachts stationary or they sailable?

Aymec: Both.  Big yachts +64 meters can’t be drivable because if you create objects, you can see maximum object size is 64x64x64 … So QUEEN is the biggest drivable yacht that we have. Also, maximum link distance for second life is 52 meters . You can't link 52 meters or more. Drivable yachts or boats are 20-50 meters. They are better for control. The big yachts or boats can't be drivable . But you know, I added drivable extras on it  FOR FUN and PARTIES!

Second Life needs more events on yachts. We will make the Super Yacht CLUB V5 in 2017 and The MTR A5 model will be AWESOME!

Billionaires House

Lanai: Great, I cannot wait to see it!  So, Do you have any suggestions for people who are shopping for a luxury living experience?

Aymec: Yes, browse our selection in world. Rez our models and so them up close. My best combinations are:

1. Billionaires House + Queen Yacht
2. Concept BW House + MTR A4 Yacht
3. Super Yacht Club v4 + Billionaires House / Concept BW House
4. Social City + Usable Yachts , and homes ( City is Modifiable )
5. Real Club + Super Yacht Club v3.0 + Heaven House ( all in one sim )

You can make different combinations. Pick what is best for you!

Please IM me before or after your purchase for full support .

Lanai: Customer Support is very important in Second Life. Do you have a specific support portal or group people can join for BBX creation?

Aymec: This is best important thing for me. since 2012 , I’ve sent the super and big gift packs to each customer . I  respond to all IM’s. If there are any problems. I solve it in one day. I also help with extras. Some of my customers need flags or names for their yachts . I  make and send them textures, usually in about  5 minutes. Also, if someone needs different colors. I can do that too but it takes a little more time. But  99% of BBX design customers are happy because of gift packs +25 items and full support for each one . I also have +2500 friends because I am very friendly and I  give discounts!

Also, HAPPY FRIDAYS means more discounts! Everybody needs to own a house and yacht.  I  help with that.

Lanai: Aymec, keep doing what you do. Not only are you very talented but you really do care about your customers needs. Thank you for taking the time to chat with me about BBX Design. Is there anything else you would you would like to share with our readers and what’s in store for your 2017 collection?

Aymec: Thank you for the chat. I am very honored!
