A fashion show with a twist - Lacy Muircastle reporting .....

As part of its Community Engagement initiative to embrace the greater Second Life community, Street Whores will be presenting a fashion show extraordinaire as the opening event for the autumn festival on the sim.  The girls will be strutting their stuff on a specially designed runway presenting a range of autumn fashion.

The festival kicks off at 1:30pm SL time on Saturday 12th October with the grand fashion parade. For the past few weeks, the girls have been excitedly preparing and as the climax nears everything is coming together.

Three of SLs’ “up and coming” fashion houses are presenting their autumn lines for this festival, those being Shadys’ Gear, Kennedy’s and Needfull Pixel.

Event coordinator Elvira Avedon said that the festival week will start with the grand fashion show accompanied by a music and social event held in the Club Radiance at Street Whores. She believes there is something for everyone in this event which is aimed at boosting the fun for all SL residents and providing a milestone in the SL year. Elvira and other event organisers have visited some of the SL Fashion week events to get ideas and learn how it’s done. Elvira says this is not a competition with established SL fashion events but a fun take on the scene to spread involvement by all sectors of the SL community.

Come along to the Street Whores sim at 1pm SLT |Sarurday 12th October 2013




Nobody Likes Busted Looking Toes: If you have Feet Problems, Do something about it!- Introducing Mesh Feet- Tea Couturier Reporting...


When we buy skin we go for the realistic look. For our face and hands we do the same, however if we look at our feet they can appear unnatural and lack detail as though they were painted on.



So when mesh feet came onto the grid residents were happy that they would be able to show off their toes and feet when they slipped off their shoes. However with so many on the market now it can be daunting if not hard to find the pair that will not only look good but also not cost you a lot of Lindens to create the natural look. 

 I have comprised a few of the mesh feet that I feel not only look good, but also are a good price for all budgets.

The Story of Miss S.: How She Lost Everything on SL and Won it Back – Stareyes Galaxy Reporting ....


One hears horror stories of people getting the short end of the deal on Second Life™ (SL) many times. You wouldn't think it happens to seasoned SL veterans until you hear of one, especially someone who’s closer to you than just a casual acquaintance. This is the story of “Miss S.” who lost her life savings as well as her firstborn. By prudent record-keeping, she was able to win her assets back, and is now happily reunited with “J,” her baby boy. Here’s how it all happened.

Miss S. says she was looking for a family, a long-time aspiration of hers on SL. She met a gentleman who subsequently changed partners, and became friends with her new “mom”. She in turn had a son whom she introduced to Miss S. They hit off so well that Miss S. and the “son” partnered in August.  Miss S. tells: “We clicked together and he was so sweet person. I heard his voice once or twice, but never heard the mom and the son talking on same moment. We talked on Skype.”

Beach Etiquette in Second Life (C) - Stareyes Galaxy Reporting


One of the great features of Second Life © (SL) is that no matter what the real life (RL) weather, you can pack a rucksack and go to the beach.

At the many beaches of SL, it is possible to relax, swim, do watersports, and socialize with friends or previously unknown avatars. Beaches come in all categories, “G”, “M”, and “A”, and it may be confusing as to what is expected of a beach visitor at locations tagged with one category or the other. Stareyes Galaxy trekked some of the beach resorts to find out what the beach etiquette is and how it is observed in SL.

I started with beaches that advertise clothed-only policies. Kona Beach one beautiful location with surfboarding and big waves in the sea set as a curved beach. I met Glowdiamond, an ardent sunbather and asked her a few questions.

Postcard from Paris 1900’s – The Beautiful Era - Glossom reporting ....


Dear friends,

I must confess that I thought I may fear the time machine, but I did not!   The buzzing and shaking of the machine did not cause the anticipated apprehension but rather an intense excitement and eagerness to have a new fascinating place right in front of my eyes. Destination: Paris 1900’s, The City of Light.

The Legend of the RMS Titanic in Second Life- Orchids Reports



“Though she sank in 1912 the RMS Titanic lives on in the minds of millions. Movies have been made, Museums erected, books have been written... 


Within Second Life you are only limited by your imagination. Come join us sometime on the Ship of Dreams, as she floats upon an ocean of memories...”

Titanic –“gigantic” takes its origins in Greek Mythology. The “RMS Titanic” or the Royal Mail Ship (RMS) indicated that she carried mail under contract with the Royal Mail. It was an Olympic-class ocean liner built at Belfast, Ireland; the largest vessel of the British shipping company White Star Line's fleet.

SL TOS a storm in a teacup? - Lacy Muircastle reporting ....

Is it all just a storm in a tea cup, or is it far more ominous than that .... Recently much has been written in various blogs and in various forums about the latest changes to the Second Life TOS by Linden Labs and in some cases the reaction to these changes have been to the detriment of the Second Life community at large, most notably is the recent resignation of Bryn Oh from the Linden Endowment for the Arts committee. Bryn, who is a brilliant artist and content creator in her own right, but who also has been an advocate for other budding artists and content creators in SL is quoted as saying  "After the new TOS came out I had to decide if I still felt comfortable being associated with the LEA, not the members but rather the concept.  One thing I do in both first life and Second Life is try to convince artists that they and their art are worth something.  You see, artists are quite often taken advantage of.  Anyway, long story short I have decided to resign from the Linden Endowment for the Arts due to the current TOS."

Does your avatar have a private life? - Lacy Muircastle reporting ....

Have you ever considered what your avatar does when you log off?  Strawberry Singh poses the question in her latest meme challenge.  Many of you will know Strawberry Singh as a brilliant SL photographer and avid blogger. She runs regular meme challenges and this weeks Monday Meme struck a chord, so I decided to share it with those of you who do not subscribe to her blog.
Go on have a bit of fun with this challenge:

Avenue Autumn/ Winter Fashion Week Ended October 5th- BLVCK ANCHOR Review- Tea Couturier Reporting...


This was an invited only event due to its popularity. The place was packed out with buyers/owners from other stores to just journalist/ bloggers, The who’s who of the fashion world, who were all awaiting the Autumn/Winter collection from BLVCK ANCHOR.


For those who are not familiar with Blvck Anchor, Blvck Anchor specializes in menswear influenced by the laid back fashions of the American West Coast. Whether it's L.A. street swagger or Oregon hipster chic, this line takes casual coolness and injects it with masculine confidence.

Firing Employees on Second Life©-It's Not Personal, It's Business- Nomad Aries Reporting…


 

The firing of employees on Second Life© seems to be a law unto itself. There is no set protocol for firing an employee for incompetence or any other offense.
 
In the real world or at least where I live, there are set laws and procedures that must be adhered to before and during the process of firing an employee. Not so , in the virtual world. On Second Life©, the firing of an employee, the reasons for it and how it is done is strictly up to the owner or manager of a business. This is surprising to me to be honest. If you are going to run a business venture on SL or be part of an organization, you will inevitably have to fire someone at some point in time.

What is Second Life™ All About? – Stareyes Galaxy reporting ...


We all have our reasons for being on Second Life ™ (SL). Some of us are online 24/7, some less frequently, interacting with other avatars, or sitting quietly in a cozy corner listening to music. Stareyes Galaxy chatted with avatars from all around the globe asking the deceptively simple question. “What is SL all about?”

One of the first avatars I talked with was from Egypt. “Second Life has a special meaning for us Egyptians,” she said – and then it really dawned on me what that is. Ancient Egyptians preserved the bodies of the deceased for their journey to the great beyond. Second Life today of course is concurrent with our real lives (RLs), and The Second Life Enquirer regularly runs features on the parallelisms between SL and RL. I went to clubs and other popular spots to get answers, and here is what I was able to find out.

The Scottish Highlands - Inverness revisited - Lacy Muircastle reporting ....

Sims come and go as we all know so it is always good to be able to report that some sims are in it for the long haul.  One such sim is The Highlands of Scotland.  I wrote a spot light on them back in 2012 and thought it would be good to revisit the Scottish themed sim.

Lauraclaire Benelli strives hard to make The Highlands of Scotland in SL replicate the Highlands in RL.
There are lots of things to see and do across the SL Highlands.  Experience the numerous events that take place celebrating all that is unique and special to the region. Expect a warm welcome from Lauraclaire and her staff and enjoy the best of The Highlands rich heritage and culture including spectacular music, storytelling, and of course the world famous ceilidhs.

Current and Upcoming Fashion Shows and Competitions in Second Life- Tea Couturier Reporting...

In SL, there use to be a time when you were inundated with fashion shows to attend. Some shows were simple while others where more elaborate. It was hard to pick and sometimes your schedule would be booked solid with shows to attend.


In 2013 the fashion world changed.  It has become a platform for anyone to be a designer, which is good and now new names are getting through the fashion door instead of just peering in. However, as the fashion industry has changed so has the number of fashion shows being exhibited. Fashion competitions enable anyone who wants to be a model to enter and stand a good chance of winning even if they have not trained at the top SL modelling academy’s or fashion schools.

Here are a few which have caught my eyes.

Autumn Decorating for your Land or Home on a Budget- Tea Couturier Reporting...



Autumn is  here and it is time to start (if you are like me) decorating your sim/land for autumn.  It can be fun and  done on all budgets.
