Popscene
BY STAFF WRITER JELLIE ARROWMINT Ok, we all need a little bit of a makeover from time to time, a fresh new look and perhaps a little laser treatment? Popscene has done just that! Recently reopened this large UK-inspired club appears to have been nipped, tucked and even had its innards seen to; and oh [...]
You’re so Vain
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE You probably think this post is about you.
Bryce Is Nice!
BY CHIEF STAFF WRITER PAYPABAK WRITER So I just added a comment to Albion’s article on men’s shops that he had left out Bryce Designs and I thought, let’s back this up! So I ‘ported over and there’s an Up the Chimney hunt or some such thing going on, so I find a gift-giver book [...]
Five Ways To Be Boring In Second Life
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE Recently I wrote an article called 5 Tips For Making Friends in Second Life. A few people told me they enjoyed it, so thought I’d do another, but this time advice on how to be boring. Yes, you heard me right. Unlike the article on how to make friends, this one [...]
Men’s Classic Suit “Mods”
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE I’ve been buying clothes at Umi Usagi for a couple of years now. Went there today and and found that Usagi has made some men’s classic suits, mod style! Very cool. Very sharp looking. The only down side is the suits are rather expensive. 500 lindens! They do come with neckties [...]
A Christmas Carole…err I Mean Albion
BY STAFF WRITER ALBION SPITTELER Once upon a time your major Yuletide risk was avoiding the “birdy dance” at the office party. That and possessing a cunning ability to smile about unwrapping a fifth pair of uncomfortable socks. But now there is a new hazard on the Yuletide horizon, the Virtual Christmas party. My virtual [...]
The Customer Is Right, Always!
BY CHIEF STAFF WRITER PAYPABAK WRITER Add Tyr Rozenblum of Tyranny Designs to my short list of designers who apparently don’t have time even to acknowledge customer requests. (And by the way, Nemnem Savon, the proprietress of Cumon about whom I wrote has yet to respond to mutliple IMs and notecards, which I have sent [...]

Gossip of the Week
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE The thing with gossip columns is unless you follow one regularly like a soap opera, or unless the people being written about are famous or someone we know, they tend to be dull. Even the ones with people I know tend to bore me, particularly if I’m not included in the [...]

Looking This Good Aint Easy
BY STAFF WRITER ALBION SPITTELER Mod fashion relies heavily on retro design and as I have roamed the grid I discovered as with most trends that’s pretty straight forward if you’re a hip young girlie thing; there’s a raft of specialists shops providing you with everything from a nineteen fifties bobbysocks ensemble or hippy chic [...]
Hypnotic Spaceships!
BY CHIEF STAFF WRITER PAYPABAK WRITER Just what I didn’t need! I confess I saw one of the Aerospace line of fighters built by Cunningham Capalini for his Hypnoville Store and got the strongest desire to fly off into SL’s Deep Dark Night! Reasonably priced at L$500 each, these ships carry out various mission slots [...]

The Ruins Spoils No-one’s Day
BY STAFF WRITER JELLIE ARROWMINT If you like live music and amazing scenery then my friend, I know just the place for you! I may sound like an Estate Agent, but this place sells itself. I arrived just as Starzya Button got up to do a set. I’ve heard her sing before, so her gentle [...]
When Pigs Fly – Visit D-Lab
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE While I was out exploring I visited a sim that had a giant hamster nibbling cheese. It rocked so much I had to know who made it. Found out it came from a place called D-Lab. D-Lab is responsible for me going a bit nuts. When I got to their store [...]

Whacky Wednesday
BY STAFF WRITER ALBION SPITTELER Sometimes your virtual life is trundling along quite nicely when its serenity is kicked into touch by the twin demons of virtual existence. Technological failure, i.e. the fecking computer packs up; or real life interferes and decides to kick you up the @rse. Often it’s nothing major, just the demands [...]
Living Art
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE Recently I’ve take a liking to animated art in Second Life, and while searching for some I found the Living Art Gallery. The images in the Living Art gallery are more to my taste than some of the cartoon, jokey stuff in other places. I found a few suitable for the [...]
Poseballs Are So ’07
Nothing can ruin the look of a club more than a bunch of single danceballs covering the floor. Even worse, if you get on one of them you usually find out the dance is some freebie-thing that’s been circulating Second Life for years. You end up dancing like a dork; and not just any dork, [...]
5 Tips For Making Friends in Second Life
Contributed by Shauna Skye I met a lady the other day who tried Second Life a few months back. She said she only lasted a couple of days when she first logged in because she couldn’t find anyone warm and friendly. Wherever she went people hardly noticed her. If she attended an event she might [...]

Contributed by Jellie Arrowmint That time of year again eh? Time to put the decorations up and make your place all festive. Now I know Christmas can be expensive, but it doesn’t need to be. I know a little place that sells all you need and more to decorate YOUR little place. Ok, so the [...]
Shabby Chic at Plum Berry
Contributed by Shauna Skye I’ve been on a shabby chic furniture kick this week, so did a bit of searching and ended up at Plum Berry Boutique. I was struck by the beauty of this furniture, and returned more than once to decide which set I was going to buy. The quality seemed far superior [...]
Happy Dysfunctional Holidays!
Submitted by Paypabak Writer (Again adapting from Cortex News Service report): Does your Christmas look less like Norman Rockwell and more like Norman Bates? Does your family put the “Diss” in “Dysfunctional”? Does your Uncle Fred use the Andy Williams’ Christmas Albums for target practice? Well, welcome home, Buckaroo! The actors of the Avatar Repertory [...]
Watch the Birdie
Contributed by Paypabak Writer During a Fifty Linden Friday event on Black Friday, I came across this wonderful way of packaging the item I bought: When I clicked on the bird, not only did it rez in my hands but a folder was placed in my inventory with the items I bought, which were tattoos [...]
It’s a Mod’s Second Life
Contributed by Albion Spitteler Evening all. In a corner of the grid a quiet, understated and typically British revolution is taking place. The generic male t-shirt, tattoos, jeans and big boots are being replaced; the throbbing engines of huge daemonic chopper bikes are being sidelined while the guitar screeching rock of eighties spandex has been [...]

Contributed by Shauna Skye Slate McLeod’s creation, the 1965 England sim and Twisted Wheel club has a home again. Anais Sciavo, who used to manage the place, is now the owner; she’ll be opening the doors to the place officially soon. I had a look around. There is little change from the old 1965 England [...]
