Happy Halloween
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE Happy Halloween everyone! I’m certain today will prove even more interesting than usual in Second Life, with many people running around a bit different from their regular self. Funny, if you think about it. For many of us, every day in Second Life is like Halloween. Nearly anything goes already! And yet we grow used to [...]
Queen Karma For a Day
BY STAFF WRITER KARMA AVEDON As the “Darn You Have Been Logged Out” graphic on my viewer mocked me (ie. “It Sucks To Be You.”) I closed my eyes and thought, “If only I was Queen, this virtual world would be such a better place.” It was a line of thought that remained stuck in [...]
60L Weekend
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE Hi gang. It’s that time again; 60L weekend sales. My store Subculture has the daisy blue dress on sale for 60L (normally sells for 170L). I’ve had some good comments on this one, so thought I’d put it on offer this weekend. In case you don’t know, Subculture is not the [...]
Know What I Meme?
BY STAFF WRITER FERAL MOSSRIDER I’ve come across a fair few articles recently in various places bemoaning the fact that Second Life is becoming more and more like those dreaded social networking sites – insert Facebook, or other favourite site you love to hate here – everyday. These merchants of doom argue that things like [...]
L.O.L.A Lola
BY STAFF WRITER JELLIE ARROWMINT One of the great things about Second Life is the opportunity it gives you to discover music you may not otherwise have heard, and this was particularly the case for me when I became a regular at Dugi’s Soul Mods (which has a DJ playing every Thursday and Friday at [...]
Halloween 1L Gift From Subculture
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE Hi gang. I’ve put a gift out for Halloween near the Subculture entrance. It’s a menu-click resizable flexi dress with skulls. Fishnet stockings and black boots included. I’ll keep the dress there until after Halloween. It will then be set to regular store price, so get the treat while it’s there! [...]
Back From Holiday
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE Ok, I was away for a just a week, but it felt like ages. I guess if it had been warm where I went, I wouldn’t have noticed as much since I’d have been taking long walks, something I enjoy. Rather, I was in north of England around Blackpool where things [...]
Costumes, Latex, and Ninjas
BY ASSISTANT EDITOR PAYPABAK WRITER Ninjas have always held a fascination for me. The foundational concept of utilizing anything as a weapon and concept of misdirection in ninjutsu makes an interesting counterpoint to the tenets of the Samurai, with their rigid code of honor. So I came across this latex ninja outfit from MdC Vanilla [...]
Kirstins Viewer Update
BY STAFF WRITER KARMA AVEDON UPDATE: This week, I wanted to give a brief update to a recent article I did on the status of the Kirstins Viewer. As you might recall, the situation looked bleak, with creator Lee Quick shelving further development to focus on some RL issues, mainly working full time and assisting [...]
Mankind Tracer Mega Concert
BY ASSISTANT EDITOR PAYPABAK WRITER Since Shauna is off the grid and gave permission to post an extra article, I’m taking the opportunity to share a notecard I saw about Mankind Tracer, who is apparently quite a SLelebrity and might be of interest to our readers: On November 6, 2011 12-2PM SLT Mankind Tracer is [...]
Faster than the Speed of Thought.
BY STAFF WRITER FERAL MOSSRIDER Way back in the days before computers, typing was a bit of an artform – it was considered a special skill; the preserve of those who took the time and made the effort too btain a typing qualification. Successful typists were measured in words per minute, with both speed and [...]
Up North
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE Hi gang. As you read this I’m up in the north of England in my first life, by the ocean or likely roaming around Blackpool. I’ll be checking email when I can, but you won’t see me back in Second Life until the 25th. If something is urgent you can let [...]
Another Inspired Halloween Special Event
BY ASSISTANT EDITOR PAYPABAK WRITER Beaverhut Death (Chicago, IL) By Pierce Laurel A woman died yesterday at St. Jude’s Hospital after choking to death on the mega-pickle garnish of her beaver burger.

Innsmouth
BY STAFF WRITER KARMA AVEDON “Searchers after horror haunt strange, far places.” ~H.P. Lovecraft One such strange, far place you may want to visit in Second Life is Innsmouth, a sim based loosely on the writings of Lovecraft himself. With Halloween approaching, I wanted to write about some the scarier places in world and, for [...]

Changing Clothes
My friend Serendipidy Haven has written about smelly socks, and this has got me thinking about clothes, and how often we decide to change them (or not change them) in Second Life. I have to say that since I started my own clothing store, it’s not likely you’ll find me wearing the same thing two days [...]
For Free, or Not For Free? … That is the Question!
BY STAFF WRITER FERAL MOSSRIDER Karma Avedon’s article about Kirsten’s Viewer last Sunday raised some thought-provoking questions around the subject of Third Party Viewers (TPVs) in my mind; thoughts that I’d like to share with you, if I may? Second Life is somewhat unusual in that the majority of its users don’t actually use the [...]
Lag: Your Animation Overrider
BY STAFF WRITER JELLIE ARROWMINT When I saw the above title the other day, I thought it was some witty comment about how lag affects our AO, and there was a whole one and a half hours dedicated to the discussion. Further reading told me this was not the case and it was, in fact, about how AOs [...]
Films at Moonletters Theatre
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE Hi gang. Recently there have been updates in the cinema at Penny Lane. If you’ve not visited yet, The Moonletters Theatre is a where you can watch youtube, Second Life tv, listen to internet radio, etc. Well, now you can rent films as well. If you rent, the money doesn’t [...]
Blue Galaxy: Out of this World!
BY ASSISTANT EDITOR PAYPABAK WRITER I was wondering where this landmark turned up and as I was going through my Hair Fair 2011 folder noted the [BG] Goodies Gift bag* … hmm … BG? Blue Galaxy is amazing!!! Yes, three exclamation points’ worth of amazing; very cool clothes, incredible outfits and accessories for outer space [...]
Why I Rarely See Musicians in SL
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE When I was new to Second Life, I was excited by the idea that one could go see a “virtual concert.” It seemed like an indie musician’s dream come true, so in those early days I did attend a few live events. However, my enthusiasm for live music decreased soon after. [...]
Farewell to Kirstins Viewer . . . For Now?
BY STAFF WRITER KARMA AVEDON As everyone knows, there are many popular third party viewers we can use to bring us through the door into our Second Life. One of the more popular viewers was Kirstins Viewer, designed by coder Lee Quick (Kirstenlee Cinquetti in SL). Many third party viewers focus on different aspects [...]

Want a Store at Moonletters?
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE Hi everyone. Just to let you know I have converted the bottom floor of the SerenJellie motel in Moonletters town into small stores to rent. Here’s some info. Benefit to the Store Owner: 1. Located in Moonletters Town at the Penny Lane sim (which gets pretty decent traffic). 2. Moonletters town [...]
SLevolution
BY STAFF WRITER FERAL MOSSRIDER A recent trawl through the less explored regions of my inventory turned up a few interesting finds. In much the same way that anarchaeological dig reveals our prehistoric history, dredging up the distantremnants of avatars and outfits past can provide us with a window into the Second Life evolutionary progress. [...]
Judging A Book By Its Cover
BY STAFF WRITER JELLIE ARROWMINT I met someone the other day who made me think about the sentence ‘Never judge a book by its cover’. The lady in question was dressed somewhat provocatively, and her group tag gave me a reason not to want to go near her or to talk to her. I judged [...]
One Prim Bedroom Set at Moonletters
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE Hi gang. I wrote about the amazing one prim piano recently. Well, you may be interested to know that the creator, Ample Clarity, has put his new one prim bedroom set on display in Moonletters town. He’s rented a room next to Jellie’s Gestures at the motel, and has a bed there [...]
Does Drama Define an SL Family?
BY ASSISTANT EDITOR PAYPABAK WRITER Lately, I’ve been caught up in targeted skydiving as part of our G3 Spartens Army tournament. I’ve been involved for about a year now, and am the captain of the Falcons, currently in FIRST PLACE. FALCONS RULE!!! Everyone else drools! Rah … er … um. */me slaps herself and shakes [...]
Porkie Pies
BY EDITOR SHAUNA SKYE porky pies Cockney slang for “lies” I rarely suspect people of being dishonest. Really. Not until it’s blatantly obvious, or if I have to find out the hard way. This is probably because I, myself, would rather not speak at all than have to tell a porkie. I have gotten into [...]
