It’s amazing how
strangers come together as a community and help one family. Charities like
Relay For Life of Second Life fundraising for Cancer, Feed a Smile fundraising
for the children in Kenya or Join Hands fundraised for Nepal victims among
others. The community of virtual worlds have always held each other’s hands to
help the needy.
The Lexi Project is a shopping event fundraising for
Lexi Zelin, a Second Life Resident. Other residents have not only come forward
to donate items for sale, but few have also offered to donate their services
like Djs, live singers and other performers are raising fund to help the cause.
This doesn’t end here, Sim Designer, Serra Bellic has put a donation kiosk at
her new designed sim, The Fly Project, accepting tips that would be donated
straight to Lexi. Anyone can join the AngelRed Group to receive a donation
kiosk. Lexi is also accepting personal donations to her main account. However,
one may donate to TheLexiProject Resident.

The Lexi Project has come to life with the efforts
of Toxxic Rihannyr and Lexi Zelin, along with 360 other designers who have
stepped up to help Lexi in any way possible. The event began on 26th
July, 2015 and will go through till August 9th, 2015. On the first
day of the event itself, the total donations raised was 1,063,592L$. Today,
this event is on the Destination Guide. https://secondlife.com/destination/the-lexi-project . On the second day the total donations
added up to 1,424,024L$, which is roughly $5806.07 USD. More designers are
welcome to join in the parade by filling the designer sign up form mentioned at
the bottom of the article.
Lexi Zelin (Heather Crawford), is 28 years old with
a 6 year old daughter, was recently detected of Hodgkin’s Lymphoma at Stage 3
(Cancer) on June 30th, 2015, after she underwent a surgery on June
23rd. In Second Life, she had been running a successful clothing
store for the last 5 years, AngelRED Couture with 7500 return customers. She
entered Gofundme on July 17th, 2015. About 38 people donated at
Gofundme and raised $2870USD in 5 days before The Lexi Project started. She
would be needing a total of $12000USD to fund her treatment.

It is an amazing step put forward by so many people
to help Lexi and her daughter, Astrid. Everyone is doing the little they can to
help her. Such inspirations and community involvement somehow wipes the harsh
reality of life. Sometimes, knowing such real life stories that make a
difference brings a tear of pride. Such efforts are an example of what we can
achieve together not only in virtual life but also in real life.

Fashion Highlight: Mesh Head clothing - Becca Drascol Reporting
Thursday, July 30, 2015

1 comment
Mesh, along with Slink, Lola and other enhancements within
SL are the big thing. Normally what’s in, means that you have a variety of
choices but also a variety of price ranges and different fashion options. And
rather you shop for mesh online via SL Marketplace, or inworld via the store,
you can find many designers with great fashion. But if it’s great biker/rocker
mesh and a good deal you’re looking for, I completely recommend Mesh Head. The
main store is not only large with tons to select from, but has affordable
prices which is always a thumbs up to me. One feature I like of this store is,
a non-demo item will receive a refund if you are unhappy with the fit. This is
a bonus when dealing with mesh clothing. Unlike some people I rarely ever will
change my shape to work with an outfit. You can find the main store here: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Elara/13/159/24
And for shopping via marketplace you can find Mesh Head
here: https://marketplace.secondlife.com/stores/103109
It was while at the main store inworld that I chose to
inspect the sales floor conveniently reached by teleporter. Plenty of designs
can be found on the sales floor for 60 L. This makes a girl so very tempted to
spoil herself or loved ones with some awesome mesh. I also took note of at
least two free mesh clothing in the sale area. For sure not only tempting but
well worth it.
Becca Drascol: First
tell me a little about Mesh Head and the inspiration behind it
FrancescoCarrera
Resident: Have been doing it for over 2 years now, when the mesh clothing
was introduced into SL I thought I'd give it a go, I'm a designer RL so was
easy enough to do nice textures in Photoshop. I'm a bit of a rocker RL so
thought I'd supply stuff that I like myself to the rockers and bikers of SL.
It's quite a large target audience in here so as long as I make nice stuff I
figured people would buy it. I keep my prices affordable to everybody which
helps me sell a lot and people get good clothes at a reasonable cost without
having to break the bank.
Becca Drascol:
What trends do you see coming up for Fall?
FrancescoCarrera
Resident: I don't really do seasonal stuff, I just make whatever comes into
my head at that moment in time. I guess Autumnal colours would be the standard
earth tones and stuff like that, maybe warmer outfits.
FrancescoCarrera
Resident: You’re always safe with black and skulls for bikers and rockers.
Becca Drascol:
Right.
Becca Drascol: Do
you think there's something that makes your designs stand out from other
designers that do biker/rocker looks?
FrancescoCarrera Resident:
I try to be different in my range of clothes but I don’t really look at other
designers stuff, I like to make sure my textures are sharp and add little
extras like detailed stitching and quality logos. I think that's more of a
question for my customers, I just do my best and make sure they get a quality
product at an affordable price.
Becca Drascol:
Right. I actually took a moment to check out the sale floor while at the store,
and was pleased to see such great clothes at affordable prices but also felt
the normal prices were comfy.
FrancescoCarrera
Resident: I'm glad you think so. I add to the sale room now and again,
that's older stuff from when I first started. I like to think all the newer
stuff is a little better as things develop.
Becca Drascol: Lola
enhancement has become a big thing in SL, do your see yourself adding the
applier to you female line?
FrancescoCarrera
Resident: Not sure, it's something I've thought about but not got around to
it yet. Maybe the new mesh avis have made the Lola add-on redundant so I'm kind
of one the fence on that one.
Becca Drascol:
Understandable and perhaps something that is a little unique to you.
Becca Drascol: I want
to thank you so much for taking the time to talk with me and ask if you have
anything special you would like to add?
FrancescoCarrera
Resident: Not really, I can answer more questions of you wish but I'm good
so far :)
Becca Drascol: Oh
yes, I did want to ask if the main store is the only location right now?
FrancescoCarrera
Resident: I have satellite stores around SL, maybe 5 or 6.
Becca Drascol:
Very nice.
FrancescoCarrera
Resident: Not too many though, it's a lot of work keeping them up to date.
Becca Drascol: Do
you ever or have you sponsored clubs or other venues?
FrancescoCarrera
Resident: Yeah I do quite a few, send gift card and stuff. I sponsor Autism
Awareness and Relay for Life also.
Becca Drascol:
That's wonderful.
Becca Drascol:
And if one were looking to get gift cards how would they go about that?
FrancescoCarrera
Resident: I need to update to electronic gift cards but again haven't got
around to it so I basically hand out textures that are Trans, when the winner
of the event gives the card back to me with a notecard of what they want then I
hand over the items. Old way of doing it but that’s all I have at the moment.
Becca Drascol: I
think it's about what works for the creator, I'm sure a lot of time effort and
hard work goes into the creation of the fashion itself.
FrancescoCarrera
Resident: Yep, that’s the way I think also.
Becca Drascol: Again
thank you so much for taking this time to talk with me.
Not only did I have a pleasant time window shopping and
looking around the inworld store, it was pleasant to talk with Mesh Head’s
creator. He was easy to talk with, down to Earth and genuinely loves creating
mesh. Next time you guys and gals of SL want to shop for a biker/rocker look
with style and budget friendly, get on over to Mesh Head.

Avie Poll: Breastfeeding in Second Life: Should SL moms be able to breastfeed in Public? Something Taboo? -Becca Drascol Reporting
Monday, July 27, 2015

Having just
become an SL mom just two months ago, and with the RL controversy surrounding
breastfeeding in public; I got to wondering.
Should SL moms be able to breastfeed in public if they so chose and if
the venue were adult and family friendly? In our first lives it's more than
controversial for a mom to feed her baby in public if that baby is breastfed.
Even RL celebs have taken to posting and tweeting pics of themselves
breastfeeding their newborns. And yet a lot of the public would rather they
keep it private. When did something so very natural need to become something so
very taboo?
True that
Second Life is a virtual world...true that the babies are prim. But with the
very realism of being able to change diapers, bathe and even breastfeed our
prim babies it bears the thought, should we be able to breastfeed at adult
venues if we so wished to? Most SL
residents most likely haven't even thought of this. Perhaps the thought is even
a silly one seeing as our prim babies do not require care as they will not die
or get sick(for most types like Zooby) And yet, I am sure that most SL parents
became parents to add a form of realistic family to their second lives. With
breastfeeding being something that is not only natural but a joy to most RL
moms, it certainly is a joy to those of us who choose to breastfeed in SL.
While we could keep this private, a moment shared with our SL spouse or father
of our SL child, wouldn't it be lovely if we could breastfeed our child in
public at venues where it would meet TOS standards?
Becca Drascol: So if a venue were adult and family
friendly, Should SL moms be able to breastfeed in public?
DaeLove89 Resident: I don’t see why not....I feel like if there were
questions about anything
its a natural
thing..even in SL. People go to clubs and stuff and pay for the dancers to get
naked for fun..I don’t see a problem with moms breastfeeding.
Becca Drascol: If a venue were adult
and family friendly, Should SL moms be able to breastfeed in public?
ChantalRouge1684 Resident: I would say depending on where they
are. Like, I think there
should be a
place for that in case it is needed. And
if there aren't those then I would bring bottles with me.
Becca Drascol: If a venue were adult and family friendly, Should SL moms be
able to breastfeed in public?
Canaille Silverfall: I'm all for breastfeeding in public. Even in SL It's
a totally natural thing.
Becca Drascol: If a venue were adult
and family friendly, Should SL moms be able to breastfeed in public?
DragonMaster Mistwalker: Much as I feel RL if that's what they
wanna do why not.
scarelett
Corral whom I met through a close SL friend not only firmly believes in
breastfeeding in public in SL but also has her own Zooby adoption agency,
Corral Adoptions. A lovely family coziness is what I liked the most as we
spoke. The venue deserves a second look but for this time around the focus was
on SL moms. But to check out the babies up for adoption check out the SLURL
below.
So overall it
was my experience of those I talked with, of whom are parents or about to be
parents in SL...all were in support of breastfeeding moms. As a RL mom of two,
SL mom of one, I too feel a mom should be able to enjoy breastfeeding, even if
that were to be in a public place where it would be felt that breastfeeding is
what it should be, natural and a part of motherhood. For a lot of residents SL
is no different, we play it as we would do our real lives. We nurture our SL
children as we would a real child and show them the love and care that any
child would need.
For those
looking to get a zooby from Zoobyville you can find the SLURL below to the
newborn area of Zoobyville. http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Zoobyville/101/189/22

The Case for Male Mesh Avatars – Stareyes Galaxy Reporting
Sunday, July 26, 2015

No comments
Within the
last year, mesh avatars have made a big impact on the visual appearance of
Second Life (SL). While the female avatars were first equipped with mesh avatar
shapes, mesh male avatars have also become available. Retrofitting one’s avatar
with mesh is a major undertaking and causes much consternation among the males
in SL. I met with a makeover prospect, “Mr. Jay”, and went out to explore what
difficulties males can be faced with when fitting a mesh avatar.
“I started getting these hints that I
should improve my avatar,” Mr. Jay told me. “Especially
females with mesh avatar shapes seemed to feel out of place if I went somewhere
with them in my conventional shape. So I sought for a solution.” Mr. Jay’s
girlfriend prospect directed him to “The Shops!”, a shopping experience for
“The Mesh Project”. The Shops! is a one-stop-store to mesh up one’s avatar,
with full departments for either gender.
Mr. Jay
explained his shopping experience:
“Obviously I wanted to get quickly up to speed with the mesh shape but the
whole process took me about a week to complete.” He said that he had wanted
to go the extra mile to get all features, so he got himself “the deluxe” level
body and head. The body has 36 skin tone options, but as Mr. Jay fitted on the
head, it appeared all white. “I hadn’t
known I need to buy a skin for the head as well!” Having bought the skin
caused further frustration, as he had chosen the “01” skin which is all white –
so his problem seemed to have no solution. While he engaged the customer
assistance to replace the “01” skin with a more conventional skin tone, he
brooded over the sensibility of the whole endeavor. “I had spent in excess of 10 000 L for the makeover already, so I just
had to forge ahead,” he lamented. He ended up buying a “15” skin tone skin
for the head, and later, he received the “16” tone skin from The Shops!
customer service to replace the “01” skin.
The last
parts of the process involved applying a “retrofit fader” tattoo layer to the
line separating the body from the neck. “Then
it was up to finding the rest of the body parts to go with the mesh body,”
Mr. Jay says and smirks. He ended up with a conventional hair from Dura Dura. “The hair base for the hair, again, is a
tattoo layer that is not compatible with the face skin tattoo… so I needed to
puff up the hair with the re-sizer and move it slightly upward to hide the
piebald appearance that is a result of having no visible hair base.”
I returned
to The Shops! with Mr. Jay to see what could be done about the process. The panels
on the walls of The shops! describe a simplistic 1-2-3 process, but as was
obvious with Mr. Jay, the whole ordeal of fitting a mesh avatar is not quite as
straightforward. The shopping experience is conducted by use of a heads-up
display (HUD) that takes care of your cash balance deducting the purchases
until you need to top up the balance. The information that is necessary for
purchases is on the panels and on the HUD, but it is not obvious for instance
that you need to pay 1000 L for each skin tone option for the skin, when the
deluxe body already has 36 skin tones built in. To complete your appearance,
you need a set of eyebrows and a hair base as well, each at L 250.
I
interviewed Ms. Diorprincess, a live helper / personal shopper at The Shops! on
her perception of the mesh avatar market. She has soon worked a year at The
Shops! and is well versed on the subject of male mesh avatars.
SLE: Female mesh avatars have been
out there a long time already but it has come to my attention that the interest
in male mesh avatars has risen in the last
few months. Am I correct?
Diorprincess: Well, yes, because the Male avatar is
available just 6 months now, and we provide the only one that looks normal I
guess.
SLE: As a personal shopper / helper,
you must get a lot of questions from male shoppers. Can you relate to me what
concerns the male shoppers have overall? What are the most glaring problems
they run to adapting to the mesh avatar?
Diorprincess: The alpha HUD is giving problems at
the moment. But they are working on an update. At start males are a bit disoriented, but I noticed the men are very clever.
SLE: When I talked with “Mr. Jay” he
said he had a lot of problems with the "1-2-3" concept and didn't
realize he had to buy a specific skin, etc. Are these typical problems men run
into?
Diorprincess: Well some men don’t understand the
concept at all, don't even look, just do and then don't understand what they
are doing after all! The “1, 2, 3” concept is easy: 1. Get a body; 2: Get the
head; 3: Get the clothes or style up. But most people don't even read [the instructions on the panels].
SLE: How do you see the mesh avatar
market, and especially the ratio of female vs. male mesh avatar sales?
Diorprincess: Females spend much much more, also
because we need more, like make up and clothes. Men are easy: most wear the
same clothes every day. Females are looking good and expect her man to look
good also. And the males want mesh too. Mesh is the future!
The final
step was to put some weight on the avatar. The Shops! Beta avatars are fitted
mesh, meaning they fit on the conventional avatar shapes. Therefore, sliders in
the avatar appearance body editing menu can be used to change the shape. Jay
fleshed out nicely with some body fat and widening the torso. The Shops! sell
also shape styler packages, but these are optional if one knows how to use the
sliders in the body edit menu. The head doesn’t seem to change with the edit
sliders, though, so one is stuck with the Mesh Project supermodel head shape.
As already has been quite prominently evident with how female mesh avatars
carry themselves, the fitted mesh is compatible with “physics” of the avatar.
With proper discretion, the use of physics on a fitted mesh body can make the
avatar movement more fluid and realistic.
Fitting
clothes on the mesh avatar is a whole other exercise. Mr. Jay was able to put
on a mesh tuxedo by judicious selection of the alpha layers in the alpha editor
HUD. “This could really become a problem
down the line. Now I have no semi-formal or casual options!” Mr. Jay wailed,
before he got the hang of the alpha HUD.
The whole
concept of mesh avatars seems to extend the Second Life experience toward the
Kurzweilian view of “The Singularity” where the real and the virtual mix
effortlessly. The avatar styles may not yet be “real” or “realistic”, as the
male shapes seem to be more idealistic Adonis-inspired demigods. The same of
course may be said about the female shapes that obviously tend to accentuate
the beauty ideals of the fashion and adult entertainment industries. Fully
self-editable mesh avatars seem still to be a dream concept, perhaps reserved in
the near future for premium purchase for designers. In any case, from Mr. Jay’s
experience, it is advisable for any male avatar wishing to go full mesh, to
explore the process using the “free” options available at The Shops! first. The
decision to shell out over 10 000 L is not to be taken lightly, as it may be
that with the resulting wardrobe makeover, the aggregated cost can go over
anyone’s budget as the mesh requirement escalates. A further encumbrance may
be the load on the computer and the network that mesh seems to demand from the
hardware. When you get on the grid, it takes time for your avatar to rez
properly, and some parts of it may render before your clothing. The shy guy
should be aware of these sometimes embarrassing effects!

The larger mission of ASCI is nurturing the intersection of art, science, technology, and the humanities.
ASCI will be meeting in the Quat Gallery on the last Sunday of each month, at 10 am SLT.
Join the ASCI Group (it's free) to receive notices about our SL meetings.
