Mod Dress and Boots For 10 Lindens
BY STAFF WRITER ALBION SPITTELER Being a northern bloke interested in whippets, pigeons and flat caps whilst drinking pints down at t’Rovers, I’m pretty unaware of wimmins fashion in Second Life. But despite this poor level qualification, even I can recognise a bargain, and I feel I spotted one for all you modettes out there [...]
Torley Linden Amplifies My Awesome
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE “I amplify your awesome . . .” –Torley Linden If you’re a resident of Second Life and have not heard of Torley Linden, you’ve probably been living in a virtual cave. Torley Linden is arguable one of the most famous Lindens, because he’s made himself invaluable to everyday SL residents. I’ve [...]
Get Ani-Mated with Friends!
BY CHIEF STAFF WRITER PAYPABAK WRITER Over the years, I’ve experienced second hand various ways of getting linked together with others dancing. Chimeras and HUDs appear to be the main means of forgoing the dance ball devices in clubs, or particularly useful when you’re not in a club! Likewise, posing for various modeling assignments can [...]
My New Free AO
BY REPORTER MADAME1111 QUINTESSA As I started in Second Life, I found shoes with bling and a sexy walk. I was completely sure that this was the ultimative kick, but after watching myself with my hips moving from left to right, I felt seasick. Since that day I’ve been searching for animation overriders (AOs), bought [...]
Hot Ice
BY STAFF WRITER JELLIE ARROWMINT What do Sundays in Second Life mean to you? To me they mean the occasional visit to church, laughing at those who over-indulged the night before, and a bit o’ quality music time courtesy of DJ Ice Halderman. Ice is a modest, and perhaps under-rated fella who spins a wide [...]
Magical Mystery Field Moves to Penny Lane
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE For years Magical Mystery Field, owned by my good friend Marianne Shan, was at one location in Second Life. Recently, Marianne moved her field of happy Beatles and sunshine to the appropriate Penny Lane sim. We can now walk to see each other. The Penny Lanes are even closer than a [...]
WTF: Actually Helpful Tutorial
BY CHIEF STAFF WRITER PAYPABAK WRITER What the Fug is not above the fold on my iGoogle page but it is there and a good source of fun at the expense of avatars who really don’t seem to get it. It’s been a while since I checked the blog so forgive me if you’ve already [...]
Twilight Zone
BY STAFF WRITER ALBION SPITTELER Being a classic closeted Brit, I am unused to operating in the rarefied atmosphere of time zoning, but it is one of the most thrilling aspects of socializing in Second Life. Sitting having lunch whilst chatting with an Aussie who is set to go to bed for the night, and [...]
Free Scooter
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE For those who would like a scooter but are low on lindens, I’ve found a free one for you. Get it on Xstreet: Scooter Rétro
More than just another Steampunk Store
BY CHIEF STAFF WRITER PAYPABAK WRITER Inspired by the Sam Lowry video that has appeared Dusan Writer’s Metaverse and New World Notes, I decided to take a look at LPP SteamPunk and Cyber Doll, using one of the SLurls generously provided by Hamlet Au. I have to say the video is stirring–I am always inspired [...]
Self Indulgent Video Dedications
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE I didn’t get a proper post up today, so have decided to do a totally unprofessional departure and dedicate videos to Moonletters staff and friends. For Paypabak Writer (I know, so obvious!) For Jellie Arrowmint (See Jellie’s RL blog. She just wrote about this artist!) For Madame1111 Quintessa (Madame recently drove [...]
Ambrosia Dance Club
BY STAFF WRITER JELLIE ARROWMINT Ambrosia is defined as the food eaten by Greek and Roman gods; so naming a club after such provisions is either wishful thinking or spot on. This dance club, I am pleased to say falls into the latter category. Surrounded by shopping malls, this massive club is open 24/7 and [...]
The Silence of the . . . .
I just wrote a blog and then deleted it. Why? Well, I’ve written about a lot of things for this site, but the story of the cannibal who came to Moonletters HQ is just going to have to remain untold. I mean, even jokes about Hannibal Lecter and fava beans failed to make it amusing. [...]
SL Destination Guide
BY CHIEF STAFF WRITER PAYPABAK WRITER For the past few weeks I have played a sort of informed Russian Roulette with my destinations. Using the Showcase version of Search in the SL browser, I found a number of interesting places, or using the opening screen on Emerald. But no one has offered me the chance [...]
Where I Park My Avatar
BY STAFF WRITER ALBION SPITTELER Occasionally I log into Second Life and there are no flyers for super soul or mega mod events. The search tool fails me, and I can’t find something to entertain me, and I am bored of surfing, skydiving, skiing, racing, and pixelated copulation (hahaha, as if! Very odd that scene). [...]
A Quick One . . .
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE Wow, the whole day nearly passed without me posting. Just thought I’d touch base even though the day is nearly over. If I don’t I’ll have to wait until Wednesday, as Paypabak Writer and Albion Spitteler already have stuff scheduled for you for the next two days. What have I been [...]
Update on H@QZ Development
BY CHIEF STAFF WRITER PAYPABAK WRITER I wrote about the store my friends Abbie Quartz and Mikki Zheng opened in February this year. Leave it to these two wonderfully ambitious ladies to go beyond a mere store to create an island that is just begging for vendors and residents and visitors to descend on it! [...]
1 Prim Beds That Look Good
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE Thanks to sculpted prims, builders in Second Life are now able to make detailed items at much lower prim counts. This one prim bed from Low Prim Furniture @ Sampireun Design is a perfect example. If you’re thinking this bed might be a box with a flat texture on, you’d be [...]
The Kubrick rooms
BY STAFF WRITER JELLIE ARROWMINT Have you ever read ‘The Shining’ or seen the film? I’ve done both, and now I’ve even seen scenes from it and other Kubrick films in Second Life. Oh yes! Prepare to be scared. I certainly was when I landed in the corridor from The Overlook Hotel in ‘The Shining’ [...]
Bit o the Ol’ Ultraviolence
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE Penny Lane neighbor droog, Mankybichburd Marshdevil, wanted to fight, and I don’t back down if someone starts a bit o the ol’ ultraviolence. Violence in real life is not my bag, but in Second Life fighting can be kind of fun since no one actually gets hurt, and no pixels are [...]
Shadow Moon
BY CHIEF STAFF WRITER PAYPABAK WRITER While pondering the mystery of Linden Lab’s Moonbase, I did what I often do when curious and put “moonbase” in the search/places box to see if there was another one like it. I didn’t find one but discovered Shadow Moon. The profile said it was inspired by Tim Burton’s [...]
OMG I’m Simply Gorgeous
BY STAFF WRITER ALBION SPITTELER Real Life had a grip on me this weekend. A wake up at 4.30 am, followed by a six hour train trip to enjoy a couple of hours in Northwest London, before the five hour return trip and falling into my bed at around midnight meant Sunday didn’t really exist [...]
Why Most SL Fashion Blogs Suck
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE Most SL Fashion Blogs irritate me. This is has nothing to do with not being interested in clothes, because my inventory is full of them–but this is not due to fashion blogs. If my interest in clothing were based on these, I may just put my avatar in a gunny sack. [...]
The Clothes in My SL Inventory . . .
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE . . . rival that of Vince Noir. “The tie’s a multi-purpose accessory!”
A Rebel Hope Wedding
BY CHIEF STAFF WRITER PAYPABAK WRITER You’ve seen our pictures, read the posts, so here’s my contribution to Moonletters in regard to the recent elopement nuptials of Ms Writer and Ms Arrowmint … a review of a great fashion store! I have certainly exploited my interior virtual life before on these pages, but what went [...]

Intrigued? I am!
By Staff Writer Jellie Arrowmint I love hoodies. I have a vast collection that I should probably sort through . . . but I’m not going to! 99% are from Intrigue Co. which means Katharine McGinnis is partially to blame. Well, she shouldn’t sell such good stuff should she? Ever since I first set foot [...]
Free Fantasy Items
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE I came across an entire store of fantasy items, some which are quite nice: tables, chairs, torches, glowing crystals and balls, magic mirrors, etc. Also, several different types of thrones, for those who like to feel important when they sit down. Here’s the cool part. Everything in the store was just [...]
Create Your Own Zombieland!
BY CHIEF STAFF WRITER PAYPABAK WRITER Having written about the Girls with Guns Maze last time, I need to share with you the source of most of the fun. The Soup Kitchen [TSK] is where you can work out your own zombie-killing parties. (Or if you don’t like guns, buy the Beer Drinking Party and [...]
Why Fly When You Can Teleport?
BY STAFF WRITER ALBION SPITTELER … because it’s fun. Vehicles in Second Life should not be viewed as a means of transportation. This real life vehicle essential is utterly redundant in Second Life. Car, boat, plane, chopper; none will get you from A-B. I tried once. I was a virtual Lindbergh, piloting my small biplaner [...]
