Pro Posers Hunt

BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE I heard about the Pro Posers Hunt from Taliesin Llanfair of 2ndhub.com, and since I just opened a small photo studio this tip came at the perfect time.

Share and Share Alike

Share and Share Alike

Motion Stands and More at Kuso

Maschienenwerks for me!

Maschienenwerks for me!

BY STAFF WRITER JELLIE ARROWMINT This place with a funny name is one of my favorite freebie finds in Second Life. Ok, so the creator has decided to put a price tag on a few things, but seeing everything is such a high quality and he has rent to pay, who can blame him? From [...]

The SILK ROAD Hunt: First Semi-Annual Asian-Themed Hunt.

BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE I’m not usually into hunts unless it’s stuff I’m interested in, and the hair/skin/barbie clothing hunts don’t generally appeal to me as they do the masses. But I LOVE Asian stuff in Second Life, so posting this for you here. I am just starting on this hunt myself. THE SILK ROAD [...]

Skin at Plastic Flowers

Skin at Plastic Flowers

FORE! Part One

BY CHIEF STAFF WRITER PAYPABAK WRITER It’s been at least two years since Alidar Moxie mentioned playing golf in SL to me. I have always wanted to try it. Last year she even gave me clubs and a HUD. We knocked around some balls from her skybox, but that was about all. So finally, I [...]

Ozimals

Ozimals

BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE There’s a bit of a craze going on with bunny rabbits lately.

My New Free AO

My New Free AO

BY REPORTER MADAME1111 QUINTESSA As I started in Second Life, I found shoes with bling and a sexy walk.

All Victorian Houses

All Victorian Houses

BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE I love old fashioned Victorian style houses. I find a beauty and warmth to them lacking in most contemporary styles.
