One could
surely state that New York City, NY is the fashion mecca of America. Ranging from the high end shopping,
extraordinary fashion shows, and stylish apartment living, all fashionistas
from different cultures tend to look towards New York City at some point during
styling in their life. Thanks to the hard work of Joi Price, Owner and Dylani
Sweetface Chiantelle, CEO of NYC and all the brands under
it.
The New York
City sim in Second Life™ is no different.
I recently had the pleasure of spending a day shopping and exploring the
Sim and was pleasantly pleased with my experience. I left with the feeling that
everyone should take a trip to this sim. I couldn’t wait to get home, open my
laptop, and share with the readers of SLE as to why.
Since being
established on 11/11/2011, The New York City sim in Second Life™ has evolved
into one of SL’s hottest go to places for all of your styling needs. Even
spilling into your real life due to Joi Price’s Brand, Angels x Astronauts,
that releases new items both inworld and in real life simultaneously. There has been many well-known brands that
got their start on this popular sim, but the equally well known brands of
Animaux formerly known as Bellballs, LoQ hair, K-Code Legal Insanity, and Maki
Kato has pretty much been there since the beginning and hold down the fort to
ensure shoppers have the best to choose from.
If that
wasn’t enough, The New York City sim™ in Second Life’s staff also took over the
very popular fashion site, Fashion Feed Of SL, which has been noted as being
one of the largest and known fashion feeds in SL. Which I feel, and I am sure
most othesr do too, that this take over goes hand and hand with proving to be
the Fashion Capital of SL.
As my journey
began down Fifth Ave, the first thing I noticed was the authentic metropolitan
city lifestyle draped all around me. One
of my fondest RL memories is my shopping sprees in the big apple and I couldn’t help but to be amazed at how real
the shopping experience was as I walked from store to store. This sin truly
lives up to the big city feel but conveniently has tour guides located to
prevent that “lost” feeling one might have traveling in a large city.
I entered a
store that recently joined the New York commercial side by then name of Finest
Art Design. I was lucky enough to run into its owner, Trulove67 Resident, as he
was setting up shop for his launch. He was kind enough to take a break from his
busy work and express his feelings about his move to New York.
“All I can
say is I love New York. “ He boasted. “Its beautiful place to live and the
staff here is amazing!” After being a resident for some time and learning all
the perks that the commercial units comes with, Trulove67 felt it was a perfect
place to start his new business.
Shortly
after my run in with this excited store owner, luck found me a second time by
running in to the one and only Dylani Sweetface Chiantelle. After explaining my
conversation with Turlove67, Dylani explained why she felt her commercial
residents feel so much appreciation for the staff’s work. “Not to brag but one thing I can say about
our tenants. Everyone gets hands on treatment. When a store moves in we
actually market them on all of our social media. We give them a grand opening
event that we produce ourselves, and let them know they are not just money to
us but a team” She explained.
The perks
don’t stop at the commercial residents. Avies whom choose to live in one of the
luxurious residential units are treated just as special. Each unit was custom
built, so no one lives in the same style unit.
Dylani further explained, “Every unit is
furnished but I will actually get input from a resident and do the decor for
their style and taste. I actually update the furniture when new releases come
out. I try to make every unit feel like a home. Each unit has different decor
so everybody can feel like they have their very own space. But we are also
flexible. So when a resident wantd things removed so they can furnish their
units, we accommodate.”
Excitement
rushed over me when Dylani offered to show me around an available Brownstone
and studio unit, two of the most popular residential rentals. As soon as I stepped in the door I was taken
aback by the city view out the New York loft style windows and the modern
décor. I honestly can say there wasn’t much I would change or then the fact I
would need a nursery for my beautiful zoobie baby. When asked if Zoobie babies
was something they could accommodate, Dylani quickly responded saying “When
someone contact us about moving in, I usually ask if they have a family or not.
I’ve had residents with Zoobie babies and redid the units with a nursery and
whatever they needed. Pets are also allowed limited to cats/dogs at a limited
amount.”
If you have
not visit The New York City sim in Second Life™ for a shopping spree yet, or is
has been a while since you have been in the city, I highly recommend you plan a
trip there during this spring/summer with your family and/or friends. There are
many fun and exciting plans being made for the upcoming seasons. You do not
want to miss out on it. Perhaps you are
looking for a new place to lay your head. I can say with all the things offered
to you as a resident, there is no better place to do that then this Sim. Start
thinking with that New York state of mind!
