I’ve been considering a creative project for years now – making my own island paradise from scratch, as an OAR in OpenSim, in narrative format as I work through various problems and challenges in virtual survival and content creation. The ultimate inspiration is a mixture of Hawaiian, Victorian, and Steampunk aesthetics and values. Because that’s how I roll.
I’ve been thinking about this for a few days, and not seeing any mention on other SL blogs: Warner Bros. and Reese Witherspoon’s Pacific Standard are developing a film adaptation of SECOND LIFE.

Once a devoted wife and mother, Julia starts to lose herself in the lies she creates, jeopardizing not only her marriage, but her son’s safety. via {TB EXCLUSIVE} Psychological Thriller “Second Life†Set At Warner…

Very kindly he sent back this screencap showing off the vest! That was really nice of him.…

There are TWO mesh shirts, alphas for all, and the alpha textures if you need to…

After a long time away from my inworld home and friends, I made it back in time for bon temps in St John Parish. The party was held in the Maison Bleu club, hosted by the inimitable DJ Holocluck. The music was terrific and the typist got up and danced. I will be working on some new projects – sadly, I won’t be participating in STEAM X as a merchant, but happily I will be a hunter! I just felt I needed to improve my building skills, and I’ve taken a vow during Lent to try to do something toward…
