Spotlight on Spiritfire Entertainment and Sher Salmson Allen Eppenberger Reporting...



Spiritfire Music Isle

I had the pleasure of interviewing Shar Salmson for this week’s Spotlight. She’s a lovely entertainer, whose company, Spiritfire Entertainment, acts as an agent for numerous musical venues and artists in Second Life.

Sher invited me to the interview on her island, called Spiritfire Music Isle, appropriately. It’s a relaxing place, playfully shaped as a guitar! There is a large stage placed where the bridge would be. A circular deck for the acoustic sound opening. A rough stone fret walkway leading up the neck. And six piers on either side of the head to complete the tuning keys. In addition, on other parts of the island, you’ll find an intimate bar, small shops, and hotspot streaming of various artists.

Spotlight on Avacar Bluestar, an Active Leader in the Gay Community. Lanai Jarrico Reporting...

Avacar Bluestar and Lanai Jarrico

It’s not too often I get to sit down with another Media CEO and share stories about what brought us to Second Life, let alone simultaneously conducting an interview with one another. Talk about an awkward first meeting set up by a friend...

We were both interested in interviewing the other but unsure who was doing the asking at the time. After breaking the awkward silence, we shared a mutual introduction. Avacar initiated the beginning of an interesting conversation by asking me questions about my history here in the virtual world. It turns out, his virtual world experience started much like my own. I quickly learned that we both have one starting point in common; The Sims Online. Avacar and I joked about making pizza as we sat in my office sharing our stories. He told me how he took over GWN operations when the founder suddenly passed away. At the time, Avacar was a leading writer that wanted to continue his friend’s vision. He shared his dedication and sacrifices and how some of it even created turmoil in his real life. Looking back I’m sure it was worth the effort, but it is now time for him to move forward to another media project. *gasps* Opps! Did I just let the cat out of the bag?

On the hunt ....

As most of us know there are a number of discount groups in and around Second Life, where we can buy a variety of things and depending on the group the discounted price is anything from L50 to as low as L25 for items bought on a certain day. I understand from vendors I have spoken to that these discount days are extremely lucrative.

Another SL phenomenon is ‘the hunt’.  The gifts made available on hunts vary in quality depending on who is organising them, so along came Titania Halasy and her 30L Hunt group.   This group morphs the discount phenomenon with the hunt phenomenon.

Titania explains “It’s a new concept: a hunt, traditional in its form, with hints and hidden items, where the focus is on quality rather than quantity.”

To all intents and purposes the hunt prizes will be of a quality level normally associated with full-price store items but sold at 30L each, when found. In all participating stores, Hunters will get a hint, with the hunt prize picture for that store and the landmark to the next store.

Hunters will need to visit each store at least once, as in a traditional hunt, to get the next landmark, but will have control on what prizes they prefer to hunt for.

Titania says “It's a great chance for fun and for Creators to promote items that will, after the hunt, be sold normally at full price in their stores.”

The 30L Hunt group is calling this hunt ‘The BLACK EGG Hunt’ and it is scheduled to run from 01 April to 08 April.   It is a circular hunt which means you can start it from any store.  The official starting point though is to be at TRIDENT (Houses, Furniture, Ships, Landscaping) which can be found @

Better Beauty in Opium Evolution™, The Story of Ramsa Luv and Veracity Afterthought, Amanda432 Cheviot Reporting...

John Keats once wrote “Beauty is Truth, Truth Beauty, that is all ye know on

earth and all ye need to know.” Beauty is not how you look on the outside or not

how you look on the inside. It’s a combination of both inside and outside. Of course

there is that saying beauty is in the eye of the beholder and sometimes when you get

up in the morning, you may look in the mirror and say “I look pretty good to be a

model.” You have the shape, the skin and the hair, what more does one need? Then

you meet two people like Ramsa Luv and Veracity Afterthought and realize

there is more to modeling than you may have imagined. That is the feeling I got when I met

these two individuals. One look at them made me think you’re seeing two people on

a European runway.

Why noBrix City Soars Among Merchant Districts -Troy Aristocarnas Reporting...

noBrix City

Like the impressive lady archer statue that meets a teleport to noBrix City , this new in-world commercial center appears right on target on establishing a firm presence in SL’s metaverse.

 In just a few months since its establishment late last year, this district ranked as the eleventh most visited sim in December 2011. Why such a lofty ranking in so short a time can readily understood. For one, the dreaded, soup-like lag of similar SL complexes is largely unfelt as one navigates through its quadrants of trendy fashion shops, modeling agency, club and setups for casual games.

As important, too, a significant number of the top SL brands have set up shop in noBrix, egged on no doubt by this establishment’s friendly and decisive management available for consultation 24/7 globally to serve their needs. Such professionalism is evident in the following cordial exchange of this deadline-beater with noBrix Wyx, the brains behind SL’s fast-rising merchants’ district.

BDSM In Second Life - Pandora Drezelan Reporting...

"Dominance and submission" (also known as D&s, Ds or D/s) is a set of behaviors, customs and rituals relating to the giving and accepting of control of one individual over another in an erotic or lifestyle context.

Compensating elements of the total dominance and submission are care and devotion complementing one another, therefore facilitating stable relationships. The consensual submission of the sub is sometimes demonstrated to others by symbols indicating his/her belonging to the Dom, such as wearing a collar and in some cases tattoos and/or piercings.

In general as compared to conventional relationships, BDSM participants go to great lengths to negotiate the important aspects of their relationships in advance, and to take great care in learning about and following safe practices.

Homeless In Second Life - Pandora Drezelan Reporting...

When I first came to Second Life, finding a virtual home was the last thing on my mind, however after a few nights of logging in and out of parks, info hubs and shelters I decided it was time to find my own place in Second Life.

After spending some time speaking to other people in Second Life and visiting them, I was amazed by their places and just how much effort went into setting up and decorating the ideal virtual home. I couldn’t wait to find a place I could call my own.

Spotlight Feature: Explore and Discover, Endeavour Cove - Lukes Lionheart Reporting...

Endeavour Cove

America has a space shuttle named “ Endeavour”. That name comes from good lineage. History buffs might remember something about Captain Cook and his famous sailing ship “The Endeavour”. For those who might not, here is a brief run down. Captain James Cook was a British explorer, navigator, cartographer and Captain of the famous exploration ship “HM Bark Endeavor”. He was the first European to make contact with the eastern coastline of Australia and the Hawaiian Islands, as well as the first recorded circumnavigation of New Zealand. In short, he was a famous explorer who made many remarkable discoveries. This is where Endeavor Cove derives their name. They, and I, would like to invite you to come “Explore and Discover Endeavor Cove”

Dream Seeker Estates going the extra mile

Second Life -21 March 2012:  As Fashion For Life, the multi-day opening event for Second Life’s Relay For Life season draws to a close, the Dream Seeker Estates Corporation announces various new programs to further its charitable engagement in Second Life.

Dream Seeker Estates Corporation today announced the establishment of the Philanthropic Society of Dream Seekers.  Membership to this society is open to residents and friends of any of the corporation’s estates including Dream Seeker Estates, Costa Rica Sims and Rockhopper Estates, and is to be coordinated by Harper Beresford.  It is the intention of the corporation to register the Society as a Relay For Life team and to engage its various communities through fundraising activities in support of medical research and natural disaster response.

 

Dream Seeker Productions, which under the leadership of Roe Woodford is responsible for the production of fashion shows, will work closely with the Philanthropic Society of Dream Seekers and will leverage the exposure that the fashion shows produce and the generosity of the fashion community to generate charitable donations in support of the current fundraising activities of the Society.

What’s more, following their well-received sponsorship of Fashion For Life with the underwriting of all 10 sims used for the event, Dream Seeker Estates Corporation announced today that it has reached an agreement with the American Cancer Society to become an official corporate sponsor of Relay For Life in Second Life.  Effective immediately, the corporation’s long running referral commission program is to be expanded to directly benefit Relay For Life.



For every new rental where the resident mentions they heard about the estate through a Relay For Life team or event organized by a specific team, the corporation will donate the standard referral commission to that team.

Keep your eye open for announcements of events to be organized under the auspices of the Philanthropic Society of Dream Seekers.

Spotlight On Pooky Amsterdam, CEO of PookyMedia, Machinima Production Allen Eppenberger Reporting…

            Pooky Amsterdam is amongst a handful of people in Second Life that have instant name recognition. She's prominently known for her Machinima productions and her production company, PookyMedia. She's produced clips for a variety of clients, including Linden Lab itself. If you do a search for television shows with her name, you get numerous returns. Her YouTube channel has received over 1.2 million views. One of her early experiences with VR has been Habbo Hotel, where she was producing videos as well.

            I had the tremendous good fortune to be able to sit down with Pooky on a Thursday evening for a chat about herself and her values in both her company and in Second Life. While my interviews are usually short and pointed, I discovered an hour had passed by the time we were wrapping up! She's a very open and easy personality to get to know, and I'm glad to count her as one of my friends in SL.
