Cultural Misunderstandings
BY SHAUNA SKYE One of the cooler things about Second Life is that you can be in a room full of people, and every one of them could live in a different part of the world. SL provides a medium that breaks down barriers, and so long as everyone can speak the same basic language, [...]
Dancing Cow
BY SHAUNA SKYE Yesterday, I got this old dancing cow attachment out of my inventory; something nonsensical from my early days in Second Life. Basically you “wear” the cow and it has a menu allowing you, and the cow, to do a little dance. You have the option of music and to make the cow [...]
We Will Rock You
BY SHAUNA SKYE My better half and I were in London yesterday to see “We Will Rock You” the Queen musical. We had fun in general — we were celebrating our upcoming anniversary — but afterwards we both had criticism for this show. The story takes place in the future. Earth has become the iplanet, [...]
Vince’s Wardrobe
BY SHAUNA SKYE This scene from the Mighty Boosh reminds me of Second Life. 1. Huge wardrobe, and trying to figure out what to wear. 2. Talking gorilla. 3. Guy who wears just one outfit (we all know a few of those).
Half Price at Subculture
BY SHAUNA SKYE I’ve put four outfits for half price at Subculture. Will keep them displayed over the weekend. If people like it, may do more random sales like this in the future. Visit Inworld: Subculture
A Confession…
I am going to confess something here that may shock people, and I may get some flak for it too. It’s something less than a handful of people have a clue about, and from that tiny handful there’s only one person I’d even feel comfortable to discuss it with. The confession? At various times in [...]
Bling, Baggies, and Bums
BY SHAUNA SKYE What constitutes ugly fashion is a matter of taste, and I’m sure to some people I’m the fashion victim. (I really hope so!) This being my blog, though, I get to put stuff here that I find ugly, so here we go . . . . Bling: If you want to make [...]
The Kingdom of Moonletters
BY SHAUNA SKYE I used to play a game called NationStates a few years ago. It came to mind again recently, so I thought I’d go to the site and start a new game. NationStates allows you to create your own country, and you can run it how you like. Do you prefer a democracy, [...]
Adam Steele’s Video Log

Noobs
BY SHAUNA SKYE Most of us have this niggling thing inside of us that tells us we should treat others the way we want to be treated. It’s called a conscience and, I believe, is probably what keeps most of us from simply annihilating SL noobies. If we have a baby in first life, that [...]
Phoenix-like Interface To Be Future Option in Firestorm
BY SHAUNA SKYE It’s good to know that if all Second Life V1 viewers are eventually phased out by Linden Lab, the team at Phoenix are working on providing an alternative choice with the Firestorm Viewer. Firestorm Future! Flexible Interface! Wow! this is exciting news! We told you in the past that the V2 interface [...]
Soul Mods 1pm SLT
BY SHAUNA SKYE Hey everyone. I’ll be DJ-ing at Soul Mods tonight at 1pm SLT (9pm UK time). Will be spinning The Kinks, The Who, The Small Faces, Stones, a dash of ska, a touch of soul, a bit of motown, and a pinch of this and that. If you’re not busy come have fun [...]
The Words Coming Out . . . .
BY SHAUNA SKYE I admit it. I’m not “down” with a lot of acronyms and abbreviations. Unless you use actual full words to talk to me, I’ll often not understand you. I am not talking about unintentional typos or less than perfect grammar. Most of us make mistakes during conversations, and one might even argue [...]
Happy Valentines Day!
BY SHAUNA SKYE Hi gang. I made a floating Red Heart Balloon and put it in the doorway at Subculture. It’s copy/transfer, and my gift to you for Valentine’s Day. Will keep it out today only, so if you want it, go grab it. Visit Inworld: Subculture at Penny Lane
Church of Penny Lane
When I downsized Moonletters town, one thing I wanted to keep was the church. Many, including myself, appreciated having it; so if you’ve looked around and wondered where the church went, it’s been moved by the pond. The Church of Penny Lane does not hold services or meetings (at this time), nor do we have [...]
Unsubscribing
BY SHAUNA SKYE It just hit me. Every time I log in to Second Life I have to close loads of notices, most of which I never read. I am used to doing this, but have decided I’m putting an end to some of it. Back when Linden Lab gave us less group slots, I [...]
Flea Circus
BY SHAUNA SKYE Yes, I like whimsical things. So much so I searched “whimsical” to see what I’d find in Second Life. Many places came up using this keyword, but one in particular drew my attention. It’s called Wilber’s Whimsical Wonders. I am happy to report that creator Attica Bekkers, the owner of Wilber’s, knows [...]
Hurt Feelings
BY SHAUNA SKYE It’s bound to happen in Second Life. Someone will say or do something that will actually hurt your feelings at some point. It happens to nearly everyone at one time or another, and no one is immune except for sociopaths. Because of that, I thought I’d share this little rap from Flight [...]
Some Good Karma
My hillbilly cousin Karma Avedon has started a blog. She’s not really my cousin, but I thought it would be cool if she were. She’s not really a hillbilly either, but is from the southern USA. Ok, well, maybe she is a bit of a hillbilly. She’d probably describe herself more as a “hippie rave [...]
Lupo Once Opened For The Kinks!
BY SHAUNA SKYE Lupo Lexington, the mod from Madrid, has been hanging around more lately so has been on my radar. Thought I’d give his band a plug since it’s cool to see what people from Second Life get up to in their first life. Recently, at Dugi’s Soul Mods, Lupo mentioned he opened for [...]
Lag and Crashes
BY SHAUNA SKYE Are you experiencing huge amounts of lag lately? Nearly everyone I know is. It’s not just at certain sims, with certain internet connections, or even certain browsers. It’s seemingly everywhere. Buildings are half there, objects are not rezzing, not to mention the fuzzy people, the grey people, and the cloud people . [...]
My First Fashion Influence
BY SHAUNA SKYE Since I make clothes in Second Life, you might be under the impression I’m very interested in fashion. Well, yes and no. I know what I like on sight, and I’m extremely choosy about what I wear, but if you ask me about designers and brand names, I’m often clueless. I also [...]
The Moon
BY SHAUNA SKYE My little place on the Moon I guess you could say I have a thing for the moon. Though I’m fascinated by the universe in general, the moon being our nearest neighbour in space, holds particular interest. I’ve had fantasies of the moon, and as a kid I hoped by now we’d [...]
Chill Days
BY SHAUNA SKYE I find that events and parties are a lot more fun if they do not happen every night. I look forward to events on Thursday and Friday at Dugi’s Soul Mods since we tend to “chill” on the other nights if possible. Often my friends and I hang out in The Killing [...]
Copycats
BY SHAUNA SKYE A friend of mine wanted a logo for a particular thing in Second Life. He found something distinct too from an artist, and paid a fee to be able to use the image. All was done legally, with respect to the person who produced the original image. This happened a few months [...]
No More Land Available
BY SHAUNA SKYE Hi gang. I put the word out about a couple of parcels of land opening up at Penny Lane, something that rarely happens, and not long after I did they were purchased. Thanks to those of you who showed interest, but there’s no more available. I still have some cheap rooms for [...]
