Big Brother
Every night I watch the UK version of a tv show called Big Brother. If you’re not familiar with it, the show consists of a group of people put into a house together, cut off from the outside world, books, tv, computers, etc; and they have to live there and interact with each other 24/7. [...]
River of Life Worship International
River of Life is a privately owned area that’s open to the public: “A place for you to rest, have prayer, find a quiet moment or just enjoy the beauty around you.” There’s loads to explore. The whole sim is a beauty spot, and they seem to have a lot going on. Also, I enjoy [...]
Jellie Arrowmint Tames Zorro
Jellie Arrowmint has gotten the highest score riding Zorro the bull this week. Congratulations, Jellie! Will send your prize out today! Inworld: Ride Zorro
Brighton
There have been occasions when I’ve visited the SL version of a real location before I seen the place in first life. Brighton in the UK is one of those places. Well this week I went to first life Brighton. It was cool seeing the real pier my virtual feet had walked on. My husband [...]
The Dark Knight Rises
Ok, just about everyone and their grandmother may disagree with this, but I was totally disappointed in the new Batman film, The Dark Knight Rises. We saw it today after many great reviews from strangers and friends, but left the cinema wishing we’d seen something else. I should have realized it was not going to [...]
Summer
Those of us in the UK have not had much of a summer this year. It’s been cold, wet, and rainy for the most part. Pretty much the only sunshine I’ve seen has been in Second Life. The last couple of days, however, have been warmer, and it’s made made me think of a tune [...]
Statue at Eton
The old Liverpool sim used to have these “iron men” statues by the water. Well, yesterday we were walking around Windsor and then made our way to Eton College. We saw this on one of the buildings. I posted this picture on Facebook and my friend Bettyboolean informed me that “Thats an Antony Gormley, same [...]
Zerg Rush
Go to google and type in zerg rush. Let me know what you think.
United InshCon
United Inshcon Mainstore has loads of things, particularly medieval style prefabs and outdoor decorative stuff. They also have a discount area where you can find freebies, and great looking items as low as 25L. I got a lovely house, a horse, a cat with a fish in his mouth . . . . Their non-discount [...]
NationStates Update
A few of us from Second Life play NationStates on the side. How it works: You are the ruler of your own country. Each day you are presented with a question (or two) about a political issue, and your answer determines how your country turns out. Things can changes daily, usually with extreme or hilarious [...]
Betty Wins!
This week Bettyboolean rode Zorro the bull longer than anyone. She will receive her prize as soon as I see her. Congratulations Betty! As most of you know, riding the bull is free. All you have to do is “sit” and Zorro decides if he likes you or not. I hand out a prize every [...]
Almost Free Dress From Subculture
Hi gang. I’ve decided to give one of my dresses away for just one linden! Doing so allows me to be nice to newbies who don’t have much cash yet; and it’s also a way to get the word out about the store. It’s called “The Vella Dress” and is flexi and menu-click resizable. Collar [...]
The Second Letter
Whenever I’m tempted to use Moonletters as a means to vent personal feelings, I think back to a blog I used to read where a girl ranted about her experiences in Second Life. I found the blog quite interesting, and had a genuine desire to understand her and put myself in her shoes. But to [...]
Shaga Realistic Eyes
I’ve tried out a few different eyes (all blue) but have to say Shaga Realistic Eyes is my favourite so far. I would have happily paid for these since they’re the nicest I’ve had, but you can get them for just 1 linden on the marketplace. More colours are available for 10L each or 75L [...]
R.I.P. Jon Lord of Deep Purple
Today I learned that Jon Lord has passed away. Jon was an English composer, piano and Hammond organ player best known for being the founding member of Deep Purple (but also his work with Whitesnake, Paice, Ashton & Lord, The Artwoods and Flower Pot Men). Here’s the notice on his official site. It is with [...]
The Free Dove
I’m not usually a fan of freebie places, but for people new to Second Life who have no lindens, a nice place with no-cost items can be a welcome sight. One place I visited as a newbie is The Free Dove. The store has been around for seven years and you can find a variety [...]
Dance Personality
No two people are exactly alike. We all have different tastes, talents . . . and yes, we’re unique right down to our dancing. In fact,if we all looked the same and there were no names above our heads, I would still know who my friends were by how they dance. Some dances are so [...]
Ed Starspear Wins Bull
This week’s bull winner Ed Starspear caused more than a little suspicion due to his score being the highest we’ve seen on Zorro so far. In all these weeks the highest has been 53, so seeing Ed score 58.757 was mind blowing. “I suspect cheating,” one rider just came out and said. Well, I assure [...]
JTL Designs and the Depart. of Gov. Cheese
I’d like to give a shout out to creator Johnnytreadlightly Nightfire from JTL Designs and the Depart. of Gov. Cheese. I’ve liked his buildings for a while now, having bought the stone chapel from him as well as a Victorian schoolhouse at one time. The sculpted items from the schoolhouse were particularly impressive and low [...]
Future
In a couple of months my first life situation will change. While I’ll still be around, the times I’ll be available will be different. I’ll save the details for another time, but let’s just say I’ll be going back to a schedule more like the one I had when I was new to Second Life. [...]
Penny Lane Apartments
I’m remodelling in Moonletters Town so pardon the mess. One thing I’ve added is Penny Lane Apartments for people who would like more prims and space than what’s on offer at Moonletters Motel. Regular apartments are 100 prims for 200L per week, while the penthouse is 200 prims for 400L per week. These are meant [...]
How To Run Multiple Viewers at the Same Time
Now and then I (still) get asked how to log more than one avatar in at a time. Thought I’d bring out one of Torley Linden’s old tutorials to explain it.
A Thought About Builders
I’m amazed at the artistic, creative people I come across in Second Life. No two are exactly the same. My friends Karma Avedon and Serendipidy Haven are both good at making park areas with woods and a lovely nature setting. And yet each have their own style, and are certainly not limited to those things. [...]
Jellie Wins Again!
Congratulations to Jellie Arrowmint for having the highest score on Zorro this week. You will receive your prize today Jellie! Try to Win: Zorro The Bull
Sky Sculptures Gallery
I have a shop at the old fashioned sim of Bop Street, and noticed right outside some guy was talking on a phone and spilling his drink. This guy was not a rocker–or even a mod! Who was this new riff raff owner Gene was letting in? Actually, the guy isn’t a real person. He [...]
Haircut
Yesterday I wrote about getting new hair in Second Life. While it usually seems that Second Life imitates first life, today it is the opposite. I got a real life haircut that looks quite similar to the bob I’m now sporting in SL! My husband likes it. He says it looks better, that I look [...]
Raw House
I don’t change my hair often, but I was in the mood to wear a bob, something I used to have back in the 1990s. I’ve always loved bobs. They’re so retro modern, trendy yet classic. And yet, I usually look better with long hair. At first I wore this just for snapshots for Subculture, [...]
Being Lied To
One thing that can damage a friendship at best, or else just completely ruin it is when people tell lies. Recently I had someone who was supposed to be a good friend lie to me about something quite big. They told me that another person we know had died. Not some symbolic death of an [...]
U.One
A few months ago I told you about a place called Popart Furniture where you could get some nice looking stuff for practically free. Well, I recently paid them a visit again and discovered a store right beside them called U.One. Here you’ll find female skin and mesh outfits for just 1 linden. Though I’m [...]
