I’ve Become Imprudent About My TPV
BY CHIEF STAFF WRITER PAYPABAK WRITER Seems like the people behind the wonderful Emerald TPV (Third Party Viewer) have given me enough doubts about their trustworthiness that I have changed my passwords and taken up once again with the Imprudence viewer. For an example of the bad press Emerald is receiving, I link you with [...]
There Are Places I Remember
BY FREELANCER LACRIMAE STARSMITH So begins one of the most poignant Beatles’ songs, (who can forget that scene from ‘The Tall Guy’?). It’s a song that plays in my head whenever I allow myself to have one of those moments of wistful, nostalgic melancholia that we’re all prone to occasionally. I guess it’s just one [...]
Sixty Linden Weekends
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE Just a reminder to everyone that every weekend several stores participate in pricing designated items for just 60 lindens. This is often stuff that costs a lot when it’s not on sale, so if you shop sixty linden weekends you can sometimes get real bargains. The kind of things you’ll find [...]
Wickedly Clever Kittens!
BY CHIEF STAFF WRITER PAYPABAK WRITER Wicked Kittens is a great new store with Neko fashions and accessories. Bren Dovgal and Jadell Nihilist have added some new twists to designing tails, ears, and paws that look intriguing. I was lucky enough to run into one of the owners when I visited the store. Paypabak Writer: [...]
Make Those Blobby Objects Look Better
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE Have you ever seen an object in Second Life that appeared like a blob? Other people said it was a chair, but all you saw was a round thing? If so, you’re probably looking at a sculpted prim. Scultped prims are a big part of Second Life now, allowing creators to [...]
It Wasn’t Built in a Day….
BY STAFF WRITER JELLIE ARROWMINT Rome, that is. Not the exemplary piece of furniture I managed to construct ‘pon my first attempt at building something. You more experienced people there are probably sniggering right now, but jellie has never built anything before; jellie has rezzed a couple of boxes by mistake, but this was the [...]

2ndHub Goes Mobile

Mason Kingsford and Taliesin Llanfair of 2ndHub fame have created a personal HUD to use with your avatar to interface their great social networking site with Second Life. Here’s a notecard I got with the beta test version: 2ndhub Mobile is [...]
S.O.P.H.I.E and The Sophie Lancaster Foundation
BY FREELANCER ALEXXIS ZABELIN In one of my previous articles I focused a bit on the lifestyle I lead. I am totally aware that I am not the only person pursuing a gothic lifestyle. It is hard for all goths to lead this lifestyle sometimes; I wrote before about receiving abuse in the street, getting [...]
Men’s Suit at Barerose
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE While searching the vast men’s section of Barerose, after nearly exhausting the vast women’s section (no joke), I came across this suit for men. I should say four suits, as if you buy something from Barerose you generally get the item in a few different colors. The jackets listed with this [...]
From Dirty Cute to Filthy Cute!
BY CHIEF STAFF WRITER PAYPABAK WRITER Another wonderful find by DJ MihoAndromeda Boa from her Pink Spider – Second Life Website, I knew I’d found something special as soon as I rezzed! (I just noticed that Emerald’s opening screen also carries a Visit Hachiman screen.) There’s lots of great hand-drawn textures of this “Cutie” cartoon [...]
Scooters
BY FREELANCER LACRIMAE STARSMITH Virtual worlds have their advantages, particularly when it comes to travel. Distance has little meaning in Second Life and unlike our real life equivalent, travel across town, or even continents, is reduced to a click of the teleport button . . . no queues, check-in, struggling with suitcases or problems at [...]
SL Forever
BY STAFF WRITER JELLIE ARROWMINT I use Second Life as a form of escape, to help me wind down and to keep in touch with others. But what if Second Life becomes our first? I’m not talking about the obvious addictive effects of the virtual plain, but real life technological advances that may one day [...]
Lacrimae Starsmith to Write For Moonletters
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE I’d like to welcome Lacrimae Starsmith (aka “Mae”) to the team of freelance writers here at Moonletters. I have been reading Mae’s blog regularly, and enjoy it because she puts a lot of thought behind her words. I find myself checking to see what she’s written, and looking forward to reading [...]
A Pearl of a Store
BY CHIEF STAFF WRITER PAYPABAK WRITER I saw the treehouse on XStreet, pretty sure. So I went to Blue Pearl and had my heart broken. I love the place but it’s too big! But Blue Pearl has something for just about everyone. Beach houses for basic 512 plots, 39-49 prims at $L 500-650-750; 1024 plot-sized [...]
It’s IMs O’clock
BY FREELANCER GRAZ FIRECASTER Instant messages, or IMs for short, are a facet of Second Life that I have a real love/hate relationship with. Now, before I go on I realise I run the risk of offending some people who know me with what I am about to talk about. So let’s be clear. I [...]
Mod Earrings
BY REPORTER MADAME1111 QUINTESSA Micio Braveheart runs a small mod shop near her club, The Good Mixer. I found these terrific TWIGGY earrings there for only 5 lindens.

Version 2 Viewer Quandary Grows
BY CHIEF STAFF WRITER PAYPABAK WRITER A Lexi Morgan plurk from last week was resolved for the good but points out a sticky problem among users of all the various viewers that are out there for visiting Second Life. While so many people hate Viewer 2.0, there have been improvements and additions in functionality in [...]
Ejected From Moonletters or Penny Lane?
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE Posting this here to try to get the word out to those not in the Moonletters group. If you were recently ejected from Moonletters or Penny Lane this was an error. One of our residents activated security on their property which crossed over into town, and who knows where else. It [...]
1 Prim Cats
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE If you own or rent a place you’ll know that prims are something you will have to count. How many prims you get depends on how much you pay, or how much the person letting you stay there is willing to pay. Prims can equal money in Second Life. If you [...]
Second Life, You are Great
BY STAFF WRITER JELLIE ARROWMINT Second life, you are great You gave me a wife and a new best mate You’ve given me laughs and I’ve danced all night And you’ve sent me vampires who’ve asked for a bite You’ve shown me furries and nekos and things And before I found love I had the [...]
2010 Shoe Fair Is Going On Now
BY CHIEF STAFF WRITER PAYPABAK WRITER The 2010 Shoe Fair started last Saturday and runs through August 22. As with so many SL fairs, this great event is linked to an equally great charity, appropriately enough Soles 4 Souls. The theme of the four-sim event is farm-related with mini stores in barns, product vending machines [...]
The Brightest Bling Since ’07
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE Last night I was in the attic of Moonletters HQ with Evelyn Hitchcock, when I saw someone nearby on radar. Nothing unsual about that as it’s a busy place, but I zoomed my camera out of curiosity just to see who it was. I got an eyefull of the brightest bling [...]
The Old Mermaid Inn
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE I’ve been spending a lot of time lately at a quiet sim made to look like a Cornish fishing village. It’s called Blots Plot @ THE OLD MERMAID INN (created by Blot Brickworks) and I initially found it while searching for Victorian stuff and English pub furniture. I’ve been going back [...]
Moody Clouds
BY CHIEF STAFF WRITER PAYPABAK WRITER I was a day early for the latest Themeory Project offering at Pink Fuel, a cute little store I discovered recently. But I did find these great Mood Clouds!

The Killing Moon
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE Moonletters town has been more like a real community lately, with a mix of homes and stores. Recently arrived are the Mod Squad girls and their sixties fashion store, and Slate McLeod’s scooter shop, which features the nicest looking scooters you’ll find in Second Life. Want a scooter that looks just [...]
Beautiful Dirty Rich Moves
BY STAFF WRITER JELLIE ARROWMINT In April of this year I did a write-up about one of my favorite shops Beautiful Dirty Rich. On a recent visit I discovered Cameron Velinov has changed locations and thought I would share this news with you. When you land in the new store the vast layout is right [...]
Friends in Profile Picks
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE There’s a saying, “don’t sweat the small stuff” which is basically something you’re advised to do so you don’t worry about unimportant things. I find this to be true. The wisest people overlook insults, and often get along better in life than those with hot tempers who show their annoyance at [...]
Exodi Eyes Have It
BY CHIEF STAFF WRITER PAYPABAK WRITER I would have to say that Ryker Beck’s Exodi eyes have been a constant for my avatar with the exception of when I need Neko eyes (and then I’m wearing Tokeo Plastik brand). If Ryker ever makes Neko eyes, I would most likely find them as irresistible. For the [...]
2ndHub
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE Back in March, staff writer Jellie Arrowmint wrote about a Second Life related social networking site that had just been launched. Her article was called 1st Facebk, 2ndhub. A little time has past since then, so thought I’d mention the site since it’s becoming more active, and popular in particular with [...]
