Mushroom Home
BY STAFF WRITER JELLIE ARROWMINT Check out this cute little mushroom home I came across while snooping around a new favorite shop of mine, trying to find things to decorate my room with. This excellent little house is very small and emits some cute star shape particles. For only 150L and 20 prims, you have [...]
My Favorite Emoter
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE Depending on where you go in Second Life at some point you will probably encounter what is called “emoting.” This is often used in roleplaying sims, and at places where ladies dancing on poles want to let you know what they’re feeling or doing. In the chat window it reads something [...]
Look! Up in the Sky!
BY CHIEF STAFF WRITER PAYPABAK WRITER I’ll fess up and admit I have the following costumes and/or AV kits: Sue Richards (Invisible Girl, Fantastic Four), Tank Girl, Ms Marvel, Seven of Nine, Leelee (The Fifth Element), Red Dawn (at left), as well as an old shape called Lynda Carter, Wonder Woman and one of the [...]
New Stuff at Moonletters Town
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE I’m building onto Moonletters town, adding more roads, back alleys, and a direct route to Magical Mystery Field on Shan Ave. I’ve also added a couple of new stores. Near the Moonletters motel you’ll find Sweet Hair (which I love, and wear myself!), and Hoorenbeek, which has high end shoes and [...]
The Fool On The Hill
BY FREELANCER LACRIMAE STARSMITH Misfits, square pegs in round holes, dropouts . . . ever felt that you just haven’t found your niche in society? Or maybe you feel that the world around you has changed and you haven’t? I suppose it comes to us all at some point or another in our lives – [...]
Banned Books Week In SL Events
BY CHIEF STAFF WRITER PAYPABAK WRITER I’ve already mentioned the Machinima Contest being run as part of the Banned Books Week events at ALA Island starting tomorrow at ALA Island. (ALA=American Library Association) I stopped by the Main Stage and clicked on their MechanizedLIFE Countdown Timer for an Info notecard on what is happening. I’ve [...]
Brave New World
BY FREELANCER LACRIMAE STARSMITH ‘O brave new world, that has such people in it’ – the words that spontaneously fall from the lips of John the savage, quoting from Shakespeare’s ‘The Tempest’ as he experiences the technological wonder and cultural sophistication of Huxley’s ‘Brave New World’. A phrase heavy with irony, since that same world [...]
THinventory
BY STAFF WRITER JELLIE ARROWMINT Right! That’s it! I’ve had enough! I’m going to have a clear out – a total sweep of my inventory and get rid of anything I don’t use apart from things of sentimental value. What has brought all this on? I was reading an email about an intellectual property notice [...]
Skin at Plastic Flowers
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE I am amazed at how far skin in Second Life has come. The default skin newbies enter Second Life with these days is much better than what we paid good money for back in ’07. I coughed up a huge amount to have decent skin back in the day, saving up [...]
Surf’s Up: The Tournament
BY CHIEF STAFF WRITER PAYPABAK WRITER So, I went to the SLSA event on Saturday at Mori Pwani and what a difference! The sim was cordoned off, and all spectators–believe me, there were more than thirty there at any one time–were put on a platform on the neighboring sim to keep lag where the surfing [...]
My Nuclear Reactor
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE Earlier this week Chief Staff Writer, Paypabak Writer, emailed me and casually mentioned she was hearing a noise in Moonletters HQ. At first she thought it belonged to Soul Mods owner Dugi Rubble who has a room next to hers which is decked out psychadelic. Turns out, however, the noise came [...]
Hair at Moonletters
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE Since 2007 I have bought hair perhaps three times. This is because for me I know what I like, have a specific look in mind, and if I find that certain something that works, be it skin or hair, I tend to stick with it. I have, however, found hair I [...]
Surf’s Up!
BY CHIEF STAFF WRITER PAYPABAK WRITER I just checked and cannot find a reference to Bora Bora amid the archives of Moonletters. I swear I wrote about it once, but maybe for ROLE … who knows? Anyway, one of the great things about SL is doing something I would never do in first life: surf, [...]
Home Sweet Home
BY FREELANCER LACRIMAE STARSMITH According to some psychologists (most notably, Maslow), in order to achieve any degree of satisfaction in life there are certain fundamental human needs that must be met before we can go on to achieve our higher goals. These, at their most basic, include, food, warmth and shelter. I think it would [...]
Step To It
BY STAFF WRITER JELLIE ARROWMINT So you’re in a club and the music and company are great. you feel good and want to dance the night away, but unfortunately your beloved is not there to join you; so what dance do you choose? Many clubs have their own dances that may be on the wall, [...]
And Now A Word From Our Sponsor
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE Ok, it is more accurate to say, “and now, a word about our advertisers.” I rarely mention advertisers in articles here, but I thought it would be nice to talk about them for a change. If you notice, Moonletters.com has banner ads. There’s the one on top, and some off to [...]
Another Gray-t Cause!
BY CHIEF STAFF WRITER PAYPABAK WRITER I remember buying a Wear Gray Day outfit from good friend Fianna Idora’s [E3] designs last year but didn’t really get a chance to write about it. (I’m wearing it in the photo of me at the landing site for the faire.) Now the event in SL is a [...]
Two Lives?
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE Many people say they don’t mingle Second Life with real life. Others do not see a separation between the two aside from one happens to be made up of pixels. I mostly lean toward the second view since the personality you see in Second Life is the real me, but I [...]
Viewer 3 Beta!
BY FREELANCER GRAZ FIRECASTER Now as most of you know, I have little or no second life attributes which could really be described as a “skill”. I can’t build anything more complicated than a box, I can’t find what I want in search, I don’t know how to breed bunnies, and sometimes my hair ends [...]
LadyT Grand Hotel: Classic Bellagio Build Is Back
BY CHIEF STAFF WRITER PAYPABAK WRITER The lovely and uber-talented builder Alix Abruzzo is back! She and owners Arctic and Minnie Trottier will celebrate the resurrection of Alix’s original Vegas hotel based on the look of the Bellagio with a grand opening the first week in October. I am guessing from hints she made to [...]
Here But Not Here
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE Though I’m rarely away, this week I will be out of town, and when I return I’ll be moving into a new place where internet will have to be sorted out. I’m hoping there won’t be too much interruption, though for a while my Second Life access will be limited. This [...]
What a View(er)!
BY STAFF WRITER JELLIE ARROWMINT OK, so most of us are aware that Emerald has been taken off the TPV (Third party Viewer) Directory, unless of course you’ve been away from Second Life for a while or hidden under a pixelated rock. I have received so many suggestions about which viewer to use . . [...]
Free 1 Prim Director Chair
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE If you like to be in charge, be it directing movies or just want to feel important–now you can. Floyd Mistwalker, the owner of Primsavers, has released this 1 Prim Director Chair on Xstreet to show off the quality of his work. In the old days of Second Life, we didn’t [...]
Machinima Contest About Banned Books
BY CHIEF STAFF WRITER PAYPABAK WRITER One of the things we all love about SL is how people can come together for a cause. Whether Relay for Life, Soles 4 Soles, the current Wigs 4 Kids Hair Fair, or for individual’s like the SOPHIE Foundation or Project Jason that are more about social awareness, the [...]
Bentham Manor
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE It’s not Halloween yet, but the folks at Bentham Manor don’t know that. If you’re in the mood for a haunted house, have a look. There’s ghosts and monsters everywhere, and most are for sale. Some are from films, some are not. This demon girl on the bed with the deep [...]
Phoenix Viewer (Updated)
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE Well, it happened. The most popular Second Life viewer, Emerald, is dead as reported on the Emerald Viewer Blog. A lot has been written about this already, so all I will say is that I am really sorry to see it go. I don’t know anyone from Linden Lab personally, or [...]
Hair Fair and STEAM: the Hunt
BY CHIEF STAFF WRITER PAYPABAK WRITER Okay, hold onto your hats . . . or maybe, get ready to take them off! The Fifth Annual Hair Fair starts today, September 4, running through the 19th. Just as the Truth Hair Sale closes, you can drag your worn out scalp to one of the Great Events [...]
Necessity is The Mother of Invention
BY FREELANCER LACRIMAE STARSMITH At least that’s what I’ve always been told, and I suppose that over the years it’s something that we may well have proved to ourselves time and time again. Whether it’s the emergency remedy for a wardrobe misfunction, (stapling your hem when the stitching goes, just before that big interview . [...]
Traces of Ourselves
BY STAFF WRITER JELLIE ARROWMINT I was reading a BBC article about the discovery of new archaeological sites – about the marks people had left behind, and it got me wondering . . . what do we leave behind? When we frequent places and befriend people in Second Life, we must leave some sort of [...]
From Dusk til Dawn
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE This may shock some of you beyond belief, and I know some will be thinking I really did have that breakdown after all, but I’m actually going to write about a place that advertises nude dancing, girls girls girls, and hot calientes. No, I’m not talking about Dear Prudence Rock Club. [...]
