Pixel Dolls 25L Mega Sale!
BY STAFF WRITER JELLIE ARROWMINT Received a notecard from Dolce Blackflag of Pixel Dolls, and thought you bargain grabbers out there might like to see it. I’ve been thinking a lot about my current product line. It is a beast. There are SO many items, and some of them (while I still love them) are [...]
Urban District For Sale
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE Isis Diavolo, the lady who runs the ghetto section of Penny Lane, has been hard at work making a grungy urban district to sell in her store. While Isis was building it she teleported me up to have a peek, and since I was so impressed she sent me a copy [...]
Two Classy Retro Spacecraft
BY ASSISTANT EDITOR PAYPABAK WRITER It’s been awhile since I wrote about Spaceport but I am finally getting around to this and other articles stemming from it. Part of the reason this article took so long to get posted is I really tried to find an inworld store for these two ships (and to see [...]
A Different Way of Selling
BY WRITER LACEWING MESMERISER A while back I wrote a piece called More Hair! I didn’t, and still don’t want to, name the sim that prompted the feelings. Although it was one that pushed me to the point of writing, there were plenty more like it. I thought it time to point out an example [...]
The Most Annoying Instant Message
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE Instant messages can be a happy thing. If I hear from a good friend, I am pleased to see their name pop up on my screen. There is one particular IM that grates on me, though. It never comes from friends, but from strangers or people I do not know well. [...]
Reflections on SL Six-String Wonders
BY ASSISTANT EDITOR PAYPABAK WRITER Note: due to technical issues, Shauna rightly held back publishing this article, so some of my references to it in previous articles and articles that would have been subsequent were off. Sorry about that, I was offgrid for 11 days and tried to make it seamless. Oh, well! — Pay [...]
Who am I?
BY STAFF WRITER FERAL MOSSRIDER You might be forgiven for thinking that a great many people who use Second Life are suffering from some sort of identity crisis. Certainly, there are many for whom Second Life allows either an escape from the real world or the chance to explore and experience different lifestyles and alternatives [...]
From Me To You?
BY STAFF WRITER JELLIE ARROWMINT The recent Firestorm viewer has caused a few conversations between myself and others… ’If Phoenix is good why not stick with that?’ ‘It’s V2 compatible? Noo00oooo00oooo!’ I’m quite happy with Firestorm. Its graphics are sharper, things take less time to rezz, and I’m used to the Viewer 2 interface. There’s [...]
Derender
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE There’s this club I really like to go to. My only issue is the mass amount of lights spinning from their ceiling. When I try to cam around, I get caught on them and my camera spins me around in fog. Trying to work my way over to tip the DJ [...]
People
I’m a people watcher. If you come near me, even into the same sim, I’ll probably cam to have a look at you, and will read your profile too if I’m not busy. What do I find interesting about people? Everything! If I see a name on my radar, I inititially want to see what [...]

MystiTool
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE Before I tell you about MystiTool, I want to make it clear that I’m not usually a fan of HUDS. I hate having anything cluttering up my screen, and techy or complicated stuff can get on my nerves. I don’t usually go looking for items with a lot of bells and [...]
Legend Guitars: Myriam Beck’s Airship Store
BY ASSISTANT EDITOR PAYPABAK WRITER Okay, I thought I was done after writing up the reflections article (which will publish on June 25), and then the guitar museum post but there’s one more store, an honorable mention. Myriam Beck built all the guitars that Gibson Island gave away. That alone makes her a legend in [...]
That Ain’t Working!
BY STAFF WRITER FERAL MOSSRIDER Anybody who has ever shown any degree of talent or aptitude in any particular direction, especially if it’s anything in the creative arena, will at some stage have been on the receiving end of a comment along the lines of; “Oh, you’re so good… have you ever thought of taking [...]
Oh Hell
BY STAFF WRITER JELLIE ARROWMINT I’m going to Hell. Perhaps you are too? I’ve already been a few times and enjoyed it; I think it’s pretty cool! Hell Bop Clothing has quickly become THE place for me to shop. What’s so different about this place? Let me tell you, reader. The 1950′s inspired clothes you’ll [...]

Second Life Photos on Flickr
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE Image of a Beast (and a cute picture of an elephant too) Assistant Editor Paypabak Writer would be the first to tell you that I do not like loads of pictures on a blog. The exception, of course, would be a photo blog. Do I hate pictures? No! I love them [...]
Icing on the Guitar Cake
BY ASSISTANT EDITOR PAYPABAK WRITER So after writing about all these guitar stores, I find out that there’s the Hangout Guitar Museum (HGM)! I may need psychiatric counseling to get over this obsession with guitars but I made a hasty tour through this amazing collection of famous guitar players (picture with personal Website link given) [...]
Bohemian Dream Home
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE Moonletters reporter Madame1111 Quintessa recently showed me a place with some prefab homes for sale. One home in particular, Bohemian Dream, has a lot of beauty to it. It’s more Madame’s style than mine, and being in it makes me think of her (I’m more into urban victorian or steampunk), but [...]
Subculture and 60L Weekend
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE My store Subculture has become part of 60L Weekend. Each Friday to Sunday I will have one item for sale for 60L. This time it’s the unisex Bowler hat ala Clockwork Orange, modeled by my friend droog Karma Avedon. I’ve released a few other outfits this week too, along with boots. [...]
Meeroos
BY GUEST WRITER KARMA AVEDON Well, it finally happened. Anyone who knows me at all know that I am not a huge fan of “breedable” animals in Second Life. I have ranted more than once how the little fur covered bags of lag are ruining SL and are nothing more than a ploy to convert [...]
That’s Another Fine Mesh You’ve Gotten Me Into!
BY STAFF WRITER FERAL MOSSRIDER At last, it’s finally on its way! The announcement has been made that, all being well, the entire Grid will be mesh-enabled by the end of August. Don’t hold your breath though: mesh support was first announced in August 2009 and originally slated for implementation this May… the words ‘slippage’ [...]
Over Abandoned Land
BY STAFF WRITER JELLIE ARROWMINT Flying over abandoned land, it’s not the future in my hand, It’s a question I have on my mind, are there echoes from past times? When it’s dark and cold at night would a visitor get a fright? Are there echoes from the past that replay times, again… at last? [...]
Magi Take Shop
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE My friend Karma Avedon gave me a landmark to Magi Take Shop. She knew it was my kind of place. 1. Great quality. 2. Created by Japanese. 3. So inexpensive to be almost free. They have two floors of nice looking stuff for men, women, and unisex. Jackets, overalls, shoes, jeans [...]
Inworld Guitar Tours: Part Three
BY ASSISTANT EDITOR PAYPABAK WRITER I cannot claim to have visited every guitar seller in SL, but I think I’ve seen the cream of the crop over the past few weeks. And then there’s OverDrive (OD) Designs Guitars! Saving the best for last, I have visited the OverDrive Design Guitars store several times now and [...]
Dalek Loose in SL For Two Years
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE The daleks of Doctor Who not only travel across space and time to try to destroy mankind and annoy the Doctor, but they’ve found their way into Second Life too. Apparently a dalek I rezzed (yes, I rez daleks. I’m a geek!) did not “disappear” after a while as it was [...]
Inworld Guitar Tours: Part Two
BY ASSISTANT EDITOR PAYPABAK WRITER Here we go, continuing my overview of guitars in SL, I present two more stores, and they couldn’t be more different. Where they are alike is in quality and breadth of offerings. Punk Lives Here’s a store with an open feel to it and punky attitude. If you are a [...]
The Best Birthday Party Ever!
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE Just have to write a big thank you to those who made yesterday the best birthday I’ve had in years–in either world. I don’t think it could have been a more perfect birthday! The day started with one of my best friends Kira, aka Madame1111 Quintessa, who made a fuss over [...]
Talk is Cheap
BY STAFF WRITER FERAL MOSSRIDER Is the impact of these difficult fiscal times starting to be felt in Second Life? I ask because over the course of the last couple of weeks the writers for Moonletters appear to be showing a somewhat more guarded approach to matters of a financial nature than we are used [...]
After I Log Off
BY STAFF WRITER JELLIE ARROWMINT What do our avatars do when we’re not online? I recently wondered just this. As a child I loved to think that my toys would come to life as soon as I left the room or fell asleep – I wonder if the same kind of thing happens to our [...]
