FASHION: Pimp Your Avatar - Pandora Drezelan Reporting...

Creating Your Second Life Avatar

When you first sign up for Second Life you will have a choice of standard avatars to choose from. Let’s assume that you choose a human avatar and then go on to entering the virtual world of Second Life.
Your ‘virtual you’ will be very basic and NOOBY to begin with and it is up to you to make your avatar look the way you want it to and to improve it’s style therefore making it unique.
I have seen many avatars in Second Life who despite the fact that they are years older than me still have a NOOBY appearance and clearly have done little or nothing to improve the appearance of their avatar.
Personally it doesn’t bother me if someone wants to live their entire Second Life as a NOOB however this is my set of guidelines of changes that people can make to their avatar if they wish to.
Not everyone can afford to spend real life money in Second Life and I will address that also for those of you who need a few freebies.

SLBR News: Live From New York Bill Kaye Reporting...

Hurricane Sandy battered the New York metro area and much of the Northeast with all the fury that weather reports predicted. Thus far, the storm has claimed 9 lives in my borough alone.
Here on Staten Island, wind gusts exceeded 70 mph. The 800 mile-wide hurricane rattled windows, tossed trees and pounded residents with storm surges. Downed trees, power outages and flooding have affected most of the borough.

What's Hot for Fall? CeciliaRosalie Resident Reporting...

 From the beginning the title itself brings about the ETERNAL subject, which is important for every woman: New season, New fashion, New trends.

 

When new seasons arrive, all the magazines are full of articles about fashion trends and catalogues. What makes this article different is that is not just a catalogue or a list with nothing else to say. We will have a closer look on what's in fall fashion; the color pallet, and several styles.

 

Let's start with colors this fall.  Keep your eyes on these pantone shades: French Roast, a rich brown hue; Honey Gold, a burnished yellow hue; Pink Flambé, a vibrant pink hue; Tangerine Tango, a retro orange hue; Ultramarine Green, a cool blue-green hue; Bright Chartreuse, a cool yellow-green hue; Olympian Blue, a patriotic blue hue; Titanium, a cool gray hue; Rhapsody, a grayed-down purple hue; and Rose Smoke, a veiled rose hue.

 

Now that we have got the main idea about the dominant hues, we can move on to the specific and unique clothing styles which will be worn this fall.

A song bird of note

 By wish813 Resident

Out of Southport, NC comes AMForte Clarity with a sound that is very down to earth and welcoming to those who are just beginning to experience her music.

With songs such as "Concrete" and "With You and Me", AMForte has the tendency in her material to express a warm and vibrant array of lyrical notions that tell stories of a hopeless romantic. The other side to the tail is the quick and up-beat personality of AMForte, expressing herself with a blunt facade as she inquires about her recently failed relationship in a song titled "Are You Happy Now."

The SL Enquirer recently caught up with AMForte for an exchange of questions and answers; the song-writer had this to say:

Sandy Aftermath: Reporting from Northeast Pennsylvania

Sandy sure packed a powerful punch as it made its way over the eastcoast region of the United States. In Pennsylvania we prepared for what forcasters were saying would be historical. In deed it was. It devastated lower Manhattan, sucker punched the Jersey shore, ripped out the Atlantic City boardwalk and bodyslammed Pennsylvania as far in as Philadelphia, among other states in its path of desctuction. I'm glad to report, power has been restored to 41,000 in my area but 160,000 are still without power. Schools have been closed since Monday due to outages. There is some flooding and lots of debris remaining. Life after Sandy is in clean up mode.

Spotlight on .... Mimi's Choice

Mimi’s Choice is an extremely well known fashion outlet in Second Life and Mimi Juneau herself is considered the Doyenne of SL fashion.

Mimi decided very early on in her SL that she wanted to be a reseller of some of the best brands that SL has to offer and I think that most of you would agree with me that she has achieved exactly that.

Mimi’s Choice has been on the grid for 6 years and is still going strong and in Second Life this is no mean feat, bearing in mind the fluidity of the commercial side of things and in fact of the community as a whole.

Mimi’s goal, in fact her passion, is to make sure that the avatars of SL, both male and female alike look gorgeous.

IGFL Broncos Stadium: More Than Just Football Games

IGFL BRONCOS

(OCTOBER 25, 2012)  Mysa Masatada, freelance writer
Whoever said the fight begins on the field have never met the Broncos.  As members of the Independent Global Football League (IGFL), football is more than just a game; it is legacy which began as members of the Second Life National Football League (SLNFL) where the Broncos obtained glory as the 2010 Super Bowl Champions.  That winning spirit continued in 2011 when the Broncos became IGFL AFC Champions.

Step onto Champions Realm, home of Broncos Stadium, at any time, and you will find players hard at work in the gym. With high motivation and a strong workout ethic, week after week the Broncos players continually max out their workout requirement several times above league expectations.
