Linda lauren's Color Forecast™ for June 30, 2014

  

What is Linda Lauren's Color Forecast™?  Click Here!

A new kid on the fashion block - Lacy Muircastle reporting

It is always exciting to see a new designer arrive, it gives one hope that SL will in fact go on.

David Heather is said new kid on the fashion block, now to say that David Heather designs are unique would be a significant  understatement.

 The synopsis of what David Heather offers is as follows:

David Heather offers you a wide range of elegant, creepy, and unique high fashion couture apparel, accessories and skins to set your avatar apart from the masses.

My comment would be that the clothes are not creepy per se but the sim definitely is!  And as long as you are into red, black and white, then all is good.

Over to you to make up your own minds

Linda Lauren’s Color Forecast™ Explained:

As a 4th generation psychic medium and color consultant, one of my goals is to remind people that they have the personal power to make their days brighter.  I do it through teaching them to sense their aura’s reflection through the colors of the calendar, and how to use color to brighten the spirit and lighten the mood. Colors guide us to focus on what is most important. It can also tell a story so you can change the scene of any picture, so it can change something within you.

Spotlight on SL’s top model Sylphia Constantine - Tea Couturier Reporting...



Fashion too many can be viewed differently. However, being a model or  super model whether in SL or RL is the same. Dedication, drive, ambition and the love of fashion is what makes them successful.





In Second Life the fashion industry has changed. We have seen fashion icons come and then go as well as fashion houses. However, one thing that always remains the same are models and the demand for top models. I was lucky enough to bump into  Sylphia Constantine and talk about her modelling experiences and her rise to becoming one of SL’s top models.

Getting Connected with AvatarHookup.com; a new avatar social network available for virtual worlds- Lanai Jarrico Reporting…


Social Media plays an important role in how many people network and socialize in today’s technological age. It provides a digital place to share information, photo and videos with the masses at the click of a button. 

There are a variety of social networks available across the web that provide a presence for free and can certainly replace the high costs of advertising if you know how to use them. Facebook is the most widely used social media network available today but because of their terms of service, many virtual world residents are finding themselves locked out and unable to expand their following because avatars are not considered “real people”. Some would agree that avatars are not while the business side of virtual worlds disagrees as it hinders their ability to grow their business without this vital social media tool.

Xandria Winterwolf created a social media network that was designed to cater to Avatar not such in Second Life but in virtual worlds as a whole. It provides the same concept as the “real world” social media networks but it is a place where an Avatar name is just as important as a real one. Let’s find out more about Avatarhookup.com

What's the Wildest Thing You've Ever Done In SL?- Ccoursey reporting...



I found out one thing when asking this question:  Everyone has different thoughts of wild.  The definition of wild is uncontrolled or unrestrained, especially in the pursuit of pleasure.  It seems some people were prone to stop talking and avoid the question completely, leaving me to only assume they thought I meant wild as in sexual. 






 It doesn't have to be, and the stories I ended up with will have you chuckling, giggling, or maybe thinking along the lines that "I've gotta try that".  Huge thanks to everyone who participated.

The man from this story agreed to participate as long as I kept his identity a secret.  So we'll call him John Doe.

Cris:  What's the wildest thing you've ever done in SL?

'John Doe':  Sex with me and five women- both pixels and skype all at the same time.

Summer Fashion and Fun Hunts for Couples in Second Life- Ccoursey Reporting...


It's always cute to mix and match with someone.  So dare your man to try to match you this summer.

  A lot of the hunts this month are making that possible.  The first outfit looks awesome on or around the beach, plus what man would not tell you that you looked great in just a towel.  Plus for my Aussie it was close to his favorite state- "The one were you don't have to wear clothes".  (Facepalm).  The Life's a Beach Hunt is only 2L an object, you are looking for sandals or thongs as the Aussie says.  This outfit came from B-Dazzled.  Hint for females is "Hope it Doesn't Get Dirty" and the male gift hint is "Check to See if My Shoe is on the Right Foot".  Textures and the colors just pop making it an eye catching find this summer.

Spotlight on ChicagoSax- Bringing real life musical expertise to the Virtual world, Sunny Love Holiday Reporting



Chicagosax Resident is one of the fastest rising stars on the Second Life (SL) live musical performance scene to date. Taking into consideration of his musical expertise, it easy to understand why. Chicagosax is known in real life (RL) as George Buetow, a founding member the 1960’s garage band "The Missing Link"s. 





This group of 4 talented musicians used self-development and discipline to work their way up the Chicago music scene, and opened for the Rolling Stones in 1965. The group was later reformed in 1968, and those members became the group known around the world as "Chicago". With all that musical background, it is no wonder why his venue, called Chicago's Place, is a popular place for music lovers to congregate.

Together with a team of highly skilled professional consultants, Chicagosax carefully planned out the venues design, sound business practices, and talent searches to ensure a high quality musical experience. Chicago's place currently has 11 performers. With only 3 of them being Djs, the venue is jumping with live performances featuring Jazz and Blues shows as well as Pop/Rock shows. There are also some exciting professional artists who are about to make their Second Life debuts in the next few months live at Chicago Place.

In the near future, The Chicago's Place exclusive VIP section will be open. This will be a place where performers will be able to have small private concerts, where the artists talks to their audience about their experiences in the music business. I was lucky enough to get a sneak peak of this VIP section along with a grand tour of the venue when I met up with Mr. Chicagosax earlier this week. Truly being humbled by the fact that he took time out of his busy schedule to show me around and answer a few questions.

Studio 777 Goes Public- Interview with Luke Slingshot - Piers Diesel Reporting




 Studio 777 is like the Vegas of Second Life. It is an institution in SL business which offers the residents not only the option of skill gaming and winning money but also entertainment. Studio 777 also offer residents the chance to find virtual employment not only with the company but with other companies in Second Life as well.

It is not surprising when Studio 777 announced that they were going public allowing residents in Second Life to be shareholders. Finally residents were able to buy shares.  60% of shares were sold out within an hour on that first day. The owner of Studio 777 Luke Slingshot and his team surprised but also knew that residents who were buying shares could see that this was a business to invest in now and for the future.

I was able to chat with Luke about the success of going public and also about Studio 777.

Managing Mercury in Retrograde by Linda Lauren

This blog entry is being repeated because we have just entered a retrograde and I would much rather see everyone plan ahead day by day, rather than panic and make things worse for themselves.

From June 7 to July 2, 2014, the planet Mercury is in retrograde motion. That usually strikes fear in normally rational individuals because someone told them that we were in “mercury retrograde” and that somehow is negative.

Mercury is the planet governing communication, transportation and truth. When it is in “retrograde” it’s movement appears to be streaming backward in the skies, and that backward intention affects all forms of communication: whether that be via computer or person to person. Just because there are more misunderstandings and bad judgment calls made during Mercury Retrograde periods than any other time, does not mean that Mercury is singularly responsible. I am beginning to suspect an uncomfortable pattern. By the very virtue of the Universal Law of Attraction, many people are actually encouraging the frustration experienced during this time, rather than working with the blessings and magic of it.

We don’t have negative planets; we have negative people who use the planets as a great excuse for negative thinking, and in some cases, even negative behavior. So let’s clear the decks and get a better understanding of this phenomena and how best to flow with it.
  • Unless it involves something already in the works, avoid signing new contracts or any other important agreement papers while Mercury is Retrograde.
  • Back up your computer files regularly because Mercury wreaks havoc with any form of technology, whether that is a computer or a toaster oven.
  • Avoid travel, and if you can’t, then give yourself a lot of extra time and confirm your itinerary several times and check all reservations.
  • Be extra mindful of your words. Be clear and concise about what you are conveying and don’t take things to a personal level. Even the most innocent requests can take on total miscommunication.
The late spiritual writer and teacher, Vernon Howard said, “What gets your attention gets you!”  And that is very much like the Law of Attraction.  If you focus too long on the negative you will soon find yourself connecting with more of that until you are drained of positive energy.  Don’t do that to yourself and never allow anyone else to influence you in that way.

Some suggested activities when Mercury is in Retrograde: editing, revising, reviewing, research, relaxing, and regrouping. Also, cleaning out clutter, organizing and catching up on paperwork are highly favored during this time. Above all, remember that this is a magical time to reconnect with the past while revisiting abandoned projects and renewing old relationships.

Have a magical retrograde!

A- List Service to the Grid- Interview with Xavier Theibaud- Tea Couturier Reporting...




Knowing what is happening in Second Life and keeping up with the trends can take a lot of time joining so many groups just so that you do not miss a thing.


However, if you could just join one group, one group which kept you informed on the top parties, the best stores and what is hot and trending in SL, this would allow you to cut down on your group numbers. Is this possible?
 Yes, it is once you join the A List group. The A List is a well-known group which has been around in SL for many years. However, not much is known about the founder Xavier Theibaud. After attending a concert in SL I bumped into Xavier and as we got to talking I asked him if he would be interested in informing the SLE readers about the group and also about himself, which he was happy to do.
