6 Tips For Selling On The SL Marketplace
I’ve been selling on the SL Marketplace for a couple of years now and have nearly 400 items listed. While the Marketplace will never replace an inworld location for me, I can’t imagine not having it. Sales are good on the Marketplace. It’s the way people tend to shop now, and some creators claim it’s [...]
Soul Mods Tonight
I’ll be DJ’ing at Soul Mods tonight, 1pm Second Life time (9pm UK time). If you like 60′s mod, ska, motown, and soul, swing by for some fun and banter. As usual I’ll have lots of The Kinks, The Who, and of course the Small Faces. Visit Inworld: Dugi’s Soul Mods
Bieber Fever
It’s seems Graz and I have both been experiencing the “I have no inspiration from Second Life so will have to write about first life” syndrome. Ok, that’s not entirely true. I do have some inspiration from Second Life. DJ Slate Mcleod recently took a family member to see — are you ready for this? [...]
Bread, Love and Dreams
This has nothing to do with Second Life, but I just had to give it a plug anyway. If you have Netflix search for a tv show called “Bread, Love and Dreams.” If you’re not on Netlfix I found a link where you can watch the episodes for free at the Drama Fever site. The [...]
A Thank You to Graz
Just wanted to take time out to say thank you to Graz for sending articles to Moonletters lately. He’s had something each Monday for three weeks now, and I really appreciate it. Though Graz’s head may get bigger hearing this, I have to say he is one the most genuine people I know. This comes [...]
Eye of the Beholder
Ok, I admit it. I am not one of those people who when asked what kind of music I like give the “I like all music” response. When people say they like all music I usually think. 1. They really do not and 2. They don’t know what they’re saying. Come on! Who likes ALL [...]
Inspiration
Creativity can be unpredictable. At one time in my life I wrote compulsively, but this was when my focus was fiction. I’d sit for hours typing away, slipping into a realm of fantasy. In my late teens I constructed a world in space with eccentric characters, flamboyant aliens, crazy plots — and if anyone walked [...]
Want to Be a Model?
As a promotion for Subculture I’m inviting models (or wannabe models) to submit photos of themselves wearing a Subculture outfit. RULES 1. You should preferably wear the full Subculture outfit in your photo, but if you choose different shoes or add accessories please note where you got them so credit can be given. 2. Photos [...]
Humour
Humour in Second Life. It brings the fun, and without it we’d have a pretty gloomy time. It’s also individual and subjective. Others might roll laughing at something while we roll our eyes. Another time we may erupt into fits of giggles only to have those around us not crack a smile. I often know [...]
Mighty Boosh
Hi gang. Someone has posted all the episodes of The Mighty Boosh on youtube. If you’ve never seen this show it’s British and full of total nonsense — I love it. (That “Nooooooooooooooooooooo” gesture you may have heard a few of us do in SL was taken from this series.) So if you’re up for [...]
When I Was a Noob
Thought you might want to see my “noob” picture for a laugh. Back in 2007 I had bad eyebrows, naff skin, freebie hair, and no AO — and in 2007 having no AO meant you walked like a duck. Here’s a photo of me from 2007. Believe it or not this was after I “upgraded” [...]
Inverse
I’ve been meaning to mention Novocaine Islay’s store Inverse for ages now. I’ve held off because I wanted to give a bit of space to talk about it, but rather than writing loads I think I’ll just give it a plug and let you see it for yourself. Inverse has many things for sale within [...]
Wayne
Wayne spent most of his adult life as a property lawyer. Though he was successful in his work he’d gone through two rocky marriages, one child custody battle, and a bout of illness. He was now settling in to early retirement. He should have been happy to have no nagging wife around to tell him [...]
Why Shopping Inworld is Still Cool
In the old days of Second Life (you tired of me saying that yet?) if you were going to go shopping you’d visit an inworld location you found in search, from a friend’s landmark, or from the picks section of a person’s profile. These days shopping is a little different. Most people use the SL [...]
Future Vision Art Gallery
I found an art gallery worth visiting. It features several floors of art showcased by a handful of artists, each very different from the other. Most is for sale between 400 – 500 lindens. Visit Inworld: Future Vision Art Gallery
DJ’ing Soul Mods Tonight
I’ll be DJ’ing at Dugi’s Soul Mods tonight, 1pm Second Life time, 9pm UK time. Will be playing stuff like the Kinks, Small Faces, The Who, ska, motown, and soul. Join us for some fun and banter! Visit Inworld: Dugi’s Soul Mods
“Might fit if your ava is anorexic”
Got a review of one of my dresses. “Might fit if your ava is anorexic. . . ” With a statement like this I knew I needed to bring out the big guns to defend. Here’s proof that non-anorexic people can wear clothing from Subculture. I rest my case!
The Popups of SL
Since I’ve decided to see Second Life through fresh eyes and explore more, the inevitable has happened. That’s right, I’ve found something to complain about. (Hey, what’s the use of having a blog if you can’t whinge a little?) And I was all set to start, too, but then found out I already complained about [...]
Cult Man
For the last few months there’s been a certain avatar parking himself at Penny Lane. He doesn’t speak but has been known to spend days at a time logged in, unmoving except for the artificial breathing and blinking Second Life gives to make our virtual personas more lifelike. A few of us have marvelled at [...]
The Annoying Dream
Just woke up from a vivid dream. In it I was spending time with friends — Second Life friends, though my brain did not make the distinction between the so called “real” world and the second. Everything was mixed in with people I know and places I’ve been — and locations that do not exist. [...]
Mod Target Night
Would like to say thanks to DJ Slate McLeod for promoting my dress at Friday’s “Mod target” night at Dugi’s Soul Mods. A few of the ladies showed up wearing it — thanks to them too! Here’s a quick snap I took. L-R: Gemma Undercroft, Aston Mindes, Dugi Rubble, Lupo Lexington, Shauna Vella, Slate McLeod, [...]
Dreamscapes Art Gallery
On my search for art in SL I managed to find something I liked: Dreamscapes Art Gallery. At first I thought I was surrounded by lovely paintings of landscapes, nature, and the sea — but on further inspection realized the images came from Second Life photographs. The artist/photographer Carlotta Ceawlin has done a wonderful job [...]
Museums and Art Galleries Anyone?
Am I the only one who puts the words “museum” or “art gallery” in as keywords when searching for new places in Second Life? In the past there used to be loads of things, everything from classical art to a Museum of Robots. Now? I put keyword museum in and hardly find anything worth mentioning. [...]
Graz and His Typewriter
Yesterday Graz hacked into Moonletters HQ with a monkey wrench and wrote an article for the site. The cheek of it! Since he went to all that trouble I figured I’d “accidentally” leave the door unlocked and let him write something again soon.
Mesh it Is
Mesh in Second Life can be great adding realism to buildings, clothes, and even avatars. It often lowers the prim count of objects too, which is good for land owners. Once I was actually able to see mesh (I was on a viewer that couldn’t for a while) I became a fan of it in [...]
Seeing SL With Fresh Eyes
When I first entered Second Life it was an exciting magical new world to explore. My only experience with virtual worlds before it included the game Runescape and a place called Cybertown — and neither can be compared to Second Life. I wanted to see everything when I was new, experience everything, and find out [...]
Hero and Villain Event Tonight
DJ Slate McLeod is hosting a Hero and Villain event at Dugi’s Soul Mods tonight 1pm SLT (9pm UK). The premise is simple. Come dressed as either a hero or a villain. I should be sneaky and not tell my costume until the party, but what the heck. I’ll break that rule and give you [...]
Breaking the Hiatus
Hi everyone. I have decided to break the extended hiatus I put Moonletters on. Though I did sneak a couple of things in during this hiatus (I know, that’s like cheating the hiatus) I was never really “back” so to speak. I must say, this is the longest I’ve ever taken a break from Moonletters. [...]
