BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE Second Life was down for hours yesterday, leaving thousands scratching their heads and trying to make sense of this alternate RL Viewer we were supposed to adapt to. “The RL Viewer was user unfriendly,” said one member of the Dagger family, who asked to remain anonymous. “It was awkward, and everything [...]
A Note From Jellie About Her Wedding
BY STAFF WRITER JELLIE ARROWMINT On January 23 of this year Chief Staff Writer Paypabak Writer offered me a teleport and asked me to help her explode things for an article she was thinking of doing–how could I refuse?

Are You Looking At Me?
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE VIDEO TUTORIAL BY TORLEY LINDEN Today a friend of mine jokingly asked if I was spying on him. I was about 80 meters away, and he said he could see that I had my camera fixed on him. Well yes, I was looking. I was about to IM him, and so [...]
Linden Moonbase?
BY CHIEF STAFF WRITER PAYPABAK WRITER I did it again! Saw an intriguing looking place on the Emerald viewer opening page and went there. I discovered this abandoned Moonbase that kind of made me think of the site for the artifact in the old movie, 2001: A Space Odyssey. So I wandered around and noticed [...]
ScouseLog Stardate 26-4-10
BY STAFF WRITER ALBION SPITTELER Master builder Slate McLeod has a cool exhibition running showing example of his exceptional building craft. I am constantly astounded at the abilities of builders, as I can barely create a box, and Slate is one of the best British builders on the grid. His creations are wondrous replicas of [...]

Svarga’s Back: What Does It Mean?
BY CHIEF STAFF WRITER PAYPABAK WRITER I am so happy to report that my post of a bit over a year ago requires some amending. Svarga, Svarga is back, minus the repetitive name! Jels and I visited it as soon as I learned about it from New World News. We rode the amazing wasp tour [...]
Slate McLeod’s Famous Builds Exhibition
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE Yesterday I received a landmark from Slate McLeod, the creator of the 1965 England sim. The title of it? Slate McLeod’s Famous Builds Exhibition. Slate is an awesome builder, so I’d say his use of the word “famous” in the title is probably accurate. Well, his work is famous among Second [...]
M.K Is A-OK
BY STAFF WRITER JELLIE ARROWMINT Oh my goodness, I ADORE trainers/sneakers/tennis shoes, whatever style you like, and whatever you want to call them–and I know just the man who can sell you some pretty good footwear quite unlike any other I have come across. Let me introduce you to M.K Fashions run by 2ndhub’s and [...]
Busy With Penny Lane
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE Hi gang. I almost didn’t get a post up today. Would you believe it slipped my mind? I’ve been so preoccupied with the Penny Lane sim . . . just call it a brain freeze. The Moonletters HQ has been moved, as you know. We’re now on the the northwest corner [...]
Lunamaruna Swoona
BY CHIEF STAFF WRITER PAYPABAK WRITER Sorry if I’m behind the times with recommending that you take a look at Lunamaruna but for you stragglers out there, this is another chance!

Free Women’s Clothes
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE Multiple Personality Designs offers two large floors of free clothing for women. Ok, so it’s not totally free. For most outfits you pay 1 linden, and possibly 5 lindens for a fat pack. There’s some decent stuff here, including some outfits with boots, as well as costumes. My favorite was the [...]
Best Dressed Homeless Hobo in Town
BY STAFF WRITER ALBION SPITTELER Shauna invited me over to Moonletters HQ to have a look around before it was relocated to its new sim.

Arys Palen Returns!
BY CHIEF STAFF WRITER PAYPABAK WRITER “My heart seeks you out/With my sins behind my eyes,/And I’ll always hang myself/With our burning binding ties” is a strong refrain from a wonderful poem that marks, for me at least, a dramatic return of the poetess, Arys Palen, of whom I wrote more than half a year [...]
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. Though I’ve been known to be fond of urban grunge ala Maddison Mokeev of Cloud 9, and the cyberpunk settings fit for roleplaying and science fiction, when it comes to where [...]
Item Not Received
BY STAFF WRITER JELLIE ARROWMINT Ok, so you’re shopping online and you don’t receive what you paid for. What do you do? Do you let the seller know, or do you decide to forget about the whole thing? I guess if the product was cheap then it would be easy to fall into the latter [...]
Won’t You Be My Neighbor?

Vanity Drivers
BY STAFF WRITER ALBION SPITTELER As a postscript to Pay’s great article on Racer’s Island, I thought I would add my two penny worth and advise all you hot shot racers to get yourselves kitted out in an uber cool racing outfit. I have several of these. Some are old, like the FREE Mercedes racing [...]
Free Texture Organizer
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE Do you have thousands of textures in your inventory, but dread trying to view them? I know when I open a texture it seems to take ages for it to rez. Not good for my short attention span, and not helpful when I want to find a texture fast. The Ceawlin [...]
Get Your Heart Racing
BY CHIEF STAFF WRITER PAYPABAK WRITER Visiting Racer’s Island brought back some great memories when Alidar Moxie and I would get out her monster motorcycle and I would get my Elle’s car that she gave me, complete with pink poofy hearts! We joined the Rat Racers and raced on a great track that shared part [...]
New SL Viewer Called ‘User Unfriendly’
BY ‘ANON’ Note: This review of the new Second Life viewer was written by a friend of mine who is quite active in Second Life, and who wishes to remain anonymous. And no, this is not one of my evil alts writing. I’ve already said how much I hate the new viewer. –Shauna Skye With [...]
The meaning of (Second) Life

Prims For Dummies
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE If you’re new to Second Life, or if you’ve been around a while but never owned or rented property, you may not be as familiar with prims as you could be. What are prims? How do they affect you? Do prims really equal money? I remember a guy who had a [...]

BY CHIEF STAFF WRITER PAYPABAK WRITER For a great Neko attitude check, I make my way to Sassy Kitty Designs! On my most recent visit, I discovered they had redesigned the store and now have quite a few camping chairs on the top floor. Ranging from 40-80 minutes, you can scroll through vendors above each [...]
High Adventure on the Stormy Seas
BY STAFF WRITER ALBION SPITTELER . . . from the comfort of your armchair. While logging in using the Emerald viewer, I occasionally make a choice to log in at the image shown on the viewer. It’s all random and wholly mood dependent, but sometimes it uncovers real gems. One such is the sea monster [...]
Mod Subculture in Second Life
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE Subcultures can exist in all facets of life, and virtual life is no exception. For me, the subculture I find myself to be most part of is that of the Second Life Mods. Most would immediately know what a punk or goth was, but those who have no love for sixties [...]

Good Friday in SL
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE For those who are Christians, the Easter Holiday can mean something special. According to Christian beliefs, Jesus, God in human form, offered his life to take the punishment for the sins of the human race so people can be reconciled to God. Though being crucified doesn’t sound like a “good” thing [...]
Beautiful Dirty Rich
BY JELLIE ARROWMINT Take a look in my inventory. Trust me, it’s fine–all organized. Perhaps my name should be ‘Monica’ cos I just gotta have everything in order.
