Spotlight on TenderLove: an Animation System for Loving Couples-DoctorKaren Kanto Reporting…





Full disclosure: I own TenderLove and have for some years now, and I love it. TenderLove is a sex animation system with some very special features that come together to allow a couple to do more than have sex.

It allows them to make love. Where most animations are separate and involve jerky jumps from one to another, TenderLove allows for sequences that are smooth, flowing and graceful. Where control of the animations is usually with only one of the parties involved at a time, TenderLove provides huds to both parties at the same time, allowing the process to be much more interactive.

Co-developed by Kizmet Kidd and Menwar Skytower, I was able to spend some time with Kizmet at her beautiful home in SL, where she told me that Menwar was the animator and scripter for TenderLove.

Men’s Fashion Accessories: Watches. Tea Couturier Reporting...



While out shopping around Second Life, I noticed a really nice watch for myself. Then I realized not many men in SL wear watches and wondered why.

I decided to ask some of my friends as to why this was. Most of them informed me it started when they first came into SL when the men’s watches where over sized and either over blinged or had the time glowing above the watch or even both. That can be very unappealing for those looking for something realistic.



 Times  and designs have changed since then, so I decided to find the 5 top watches for men in Second Life and share them with our readers.

Spotlight on King Izzy’s Camping Adventure (KICA)- Lanai Jarrico Reporting…


Camping in the real world is a recreational activity that takes place outdoors.  It is usually away from the hustle and bustle of city life and in the woods, mountains or near a lake. 

Camping is a chance to be one with nature and enjoy the fruits of the earth. It is not a past time for everyone; one must have some skills to spend time in the wilderness. Building a fire, fishing and knowing the difference between poison ivy and berries from resource that can be used, is important. Just be sure to bring plenty of water, insect repellent, a good pair of hiking boots, comfortable clothing and a rough sack full of camping essentials.
In Second Life, camping can also be a fun an exciting way to explore virtual nature. Many of the activities that are done in the real world can be mimicked virtually and King Izzy’s Camping Adventure is just the place to explore the wild.

Izzy’s Camping Adventure is a full sim built by Jules Fetuccio in honor of her Second Life grandparents; Mysti77 and KingIzzy. Starting at the landing point you will see a map with an assortment of activities, locations for cabin and tent rentals and if you click on the map it will give you a note card and map to keep with you.

Spotlight on Savannah Coronet; A Second Life Performer…By Tea Couturier Reporting.



On New Year’s Eve I decided to go to a venue to ring in the New Year. The live performer that night was Savannah Coronet. Everyone at the event enjoyed her performance so I decided to contact Savannah and ask her bit about how she got into performing in SL. We sat down at a café and she shared who inspired her and what to expect for 2014.

Spotlight on Castle RidgeTale: A Place of Entertainment – Glossom Resident Reporting…



Somewhere in the middle Age something majestic rose in the sky. Like a king in his throne, Castle RidgeTale sits high above in a stunning forest surrounded by beautiful and grand mountains.




To not let down the legendary title of a place of entertainment, the Castle and surroundings feature essential attractions such as the Events Hall, a place dedicated to music events in an acoustic environment, parties and special celebrations like Royal weddings, birthdays, among others. In a place that appeals to history and tradition, one can revive the medieval times and have magical and fascinating experiences that transport us to a very distant past.

HAVE YOU SEEN ME? MISSING PERSONS IN SL


I was recently approached by a friend inquiring about the whereabouts of a mutual friend. It took me a second to realize that this person being sought after hasn’t been around for quite some time.  Due to our busy lives, sometimes it is difficult to keep track ofall our friends and  months might pass before we realize..Hmmmm… What happened to so and so.

This seems to be the case with our dear friend Jax Streeter.  Once a dominating rock star across the grid, he quietly slipped away leaving friends in Second Life bewildered and wondering where he could have gone. Some are speculating he has gone incognito under an assumed ALT due to obsessed groupies, others fear he has given up on Second Life and high tailed it to the real world.  The SL Enquirer is putting out an Avie Alert to see if anyone out there has seen or heard from him. If you have any clue where Jax Streeter is, please contact us immediately!

Are you looking for a missing avie? Email us and we will post an alert for you.

New Year Resolutions: Happy 2014 – Glossom Resident Reporting…



"Here's to the bright New Year, and a fond farewell to the old; here's to the things that are yet to come, and to the memories that we hold." -- Anonymous

New Year, New Life! To not jinx the new year and being true to tradition, every end of the year we strictly follow a ritual at the stroke of midnight to enter the New Year on the right foot: wearing something white or blue or wearing something new, jumping on the chair, eating raisins or lentils, jumping from a bridge or swimming on cold waters to wash away the evil, just to name a few. These rituals are part of cultural and religious beliefs, to each country their own.

What would you like 2014 to bring you? The arrival of a new year brings high hopes and prospects of a better life and of new opportunities. It is time to reflect on ones actions and behaviors in the past year and to make promises of positive changes in one’s life.  Without further ado, let’s get a sheet of paper and pen and wisely note down this year’s resolutions, hopefully achievable ones. With a little luck we will not fall into old habits.

SLE went around Second Life asking residents what are their New Year resolutions? 

Thank you all for participating.

Celebrating 2014 in Second Life- Lanai Jarrico Reporting…



On December 31st, 60 seconds before midnight EST the famous Time Square  ball will begin making it’s 141 foot descent  on New York City’s Time square.  This tradition was first organized by Adolph Ochs; owner of The New York Times Newspaper on December 31, 1907. 

 Every year besides the wartime blackouts in 1942-43, the streets of  Manhattan, New York are filled in every direction with onlookers waiting to ring in the New Year with confetti, cheers, kisses, proposals and resolutions. For many it is a reflection of 2013 and what they can do to make 2014 better. Hopeful eyes fill with tears as they spread the emotions of change and celebrate with the world.

In Second Life, residents have the opportunity to stand side by side with friends from around the world as the ball drops upon the hour like a domino effect in the different time zones.  Sims across the grid are prepared to ring in the new year with glitzy parties, live music and events that will attract thousands. Whether you have plans in real life or unsure what to do, the parties will ripple across Second Life!

Here are some places around the grid that are celebrating the New Year in Second Life style.

Stalkers in Second Life: Welcome to the Dark Side – Glossom Resident reporting…



A few years ago we incredulously witnessed the news of a SL romance ending in real life stalking, attempt kidnapping and crime of virtual passion. Cases like this are increasingly recurrent.


In Second Life stalkers see their art made easier with more ways to torment people and with more amenities to hide behind the screen, a supposedly safe and consequence-free place to impetuously pour out their frustrations on others, therefore, exacerbating their actions.

A Virtual Christmas Tale – Glossom Resident Reporting…



Once upon a time, in a virtual virtual world, and on a cold and snowy winter day there was a young Nicolas who, driven by sadness to observe such poverty around him, threw a bag of gold and silver through an open window to feed and to warm up the poorest ones’ bones. The streets were filled with laughter and happiness as Nicolas shouted “It is in giving that we receive”, in perfect synchrony with the sound of coins rattling on the streets.

For spreading good fortune and joy, Nicolas came to be known as Saint Nick. With a lump of coal for the price of gold and a nice piece of the finest meat (turkey) unreachable before, inhabitants gathered together around a warm fire for supper and fed their poor stomachs in celebration to the generosity of a young man. It was an unforgettable day whose story and joyful spirit passed on from generation to generation, the day of the masses, gatherings of the dear ones and the day of giving.

Avie Choice Award 2013 Results Are In and SLE Fans Have Spoken!- The SL Enquirer was Voted Favorite SL Media Source!

The soapbox speech

When a rock star friend told me I was going to win the Avie Choice Award for this category, I was unsure because I was up against some very talented sources. I stood here  for a while thinking about what to say after learning that SLE took home the award and a goody bag.



 It is an absolute pleasure to be a part of Second Life and do what I love; provide you all with continuous news from within SL and get to meet some of the coolest people from around the world.

 Looking back to 2004 when I was in The SIMS Online and thought it would be a neat idea to create a newspaper website for my circle of friends, never in a million years would I have thought that my work  and the work of a full blown Team of writers would be recognized as the most favorite SL Media Source in Second Life but here we are!
