Such a Fashion Faux Pas!
I snapped a shot of this lady avatar yesterday while I was doing some shopping. I won’t show her face, or say who she was; I won’t even say where she was, except it was one of the nicer places for casual daywear. I snapped a shot of this lady avatar yesterday while I was doing some shopping. I won’t...

It's More Real Than You Think....
People look rather askance at many of us Residents when we say that Second Life is more than a game. What they don’t realize is that we build friendships, community and joy into this virtual world. When something happens to one of those we know — and, yes, even love at times — we feel; and when s...

Hiding Intersecting Prims in SL Photographs
Cajsa Lilliehook at It’s Only Fashion writes about a trick I knew nothing about in the client — that you can edit and hide selected prims, making them invisible. This is especially useful for fashion photography, of course; Cajsa is showing how she edits out tendrils of hair that were poki...

Choice of Word on SL Official Site Prompts NWN Discussion
“Looking for counterculture? Second Life is also full of furries, ninjas, steampunk balls and an enormous virtual recreation of Burning Man. Thousands of vampires seek victims alongside wandering elves, marauding cyberpunks and club-going Goths. Come join the party.“

Casual Tuesday in Second Life
Most of my fashion sessions are in gowns; and I’ll admit that I love the swirl of silk and satin about me at night. (Which is a good thing, since Frank’s Place (SLurl, other articles) is my favorite club in Second Life.) “Gowns” is probably the second largest item in my Inventory after “Hair.”

Anglican Cathedral in Second Life Grows for Its Parishoners
One item of art I just discovered that’s not in the official exhibit: this fellow here. You can’t have a cathedral without a gargoyle, after all; it’s in the rules. You don’t have to worry about rain in Second Life, but a Gothic cathedral needs a Gothic gargoyle to be complete.

Second Life Openspace Crisis -- Nothing Fresh to Date
which is still a little early; at this point, it's still 8:25 a.m. in California, and I doubt anybody but the system engineers and techs are at work yet at Linden Lab. So, until then, here's what fresh blog writing I've found. (I shall attempt to summarize the pieces faithfully, but my own inte...
