The Purrl Ballroom & Casino and Champagne Beach 1st Anniversary


 February 24th will mark the anniversary of The Purrl Ballroom & Casino and Champagne Beach. Since launching, the sim has undergone many changes, including a new and more intimate formal ballroom, expanded beach area, romantic gardens, and the addition of a wedding venue.


In addition to extensive remodeling and renovation, we are also now home to the inclusive SL Diamond Flare dance exhibition team which does choreographed dance performances and cheer performances across the grid, and Provocateur Magazine, Trixie Brandenburg’s leading glamour magazine.


Due to popular demand, the beach is now clothing-optional before 5PM SLT daily - providing there are no visible “on duty” body parts, sexual, or kink-related items on display.


The sim is open 24/7 with teleporters for all our current venues, and we welcome all avatar types.


Come to The Purrl. You are home here. https://misskarlie.wixsite.com/the-purrl

JESIKA WIREFLY – WINNER SL ENQUIRER SINGER SONGWRITER OPEN MIC COMPETITION: JOSH BELLIC, REPORTING

For those of you who follow the music scene in SecondLife, you really need to attend the Monthly SL Enquirer Singer Songwriter Open Mic Competition.  These competitions attract the best of the best, some of whom are new to the SL music scene, and others who are proven veterans of the game.  This last month’s winner, Jesika Wirefly, brings her own distinctive sounds to the SL Music scene, and was recognized as the Top Performer during the SL Enquirer’s monthly event.  I was able to catch up with Jesika in the midst of a VERY busy performance schedule, and she agreed to sit down and chat with me about her experiences with the contest, and as a musician in Second Life in general. 

Josh (Thomas1 Bellic) (JB):     So, Jesika, Congratulations on your win.  It was well deserved.   Thank you for agreeing to chat with me.  To begin with, how long have you been performing your music, and at what sorts of venues?  

Jesika Wirefly (JW)     I have been part of the SL community for a while now but not always active. When I started SL; I sang for about 2 years. I had to take a break from SL due to Real life for about 9 years. When I returned, we had MESHH!! ... and boy, that was a huge learning curve. Since I have been back, I have been singing for about 4 years now.  As for Venues, those vary and can depend on bookings. For example, whether they want a one-time performance or bi weekly. I personally prefer a casual venue.

JB:     Who were your music idols, and those who most influenced your musical style?

JW:     Oh, I love Jazz and Blues... from Etta James, Amy Winehouse, Beth Hart, Natalie Cole, Corrine Bailey Rae, Shirley Bassey... that’s to name a few. Honestly, I love most genres and can give you my version of it.

JB:     What was the inspiration for the songs you sang at the contest, and why did you choose those particular songs?

JW:     I sang my favorite song, Gravity by Sara Barielles. This song is my feels song. It just resonates with me and my experiences. Then I sang I see Red. just to give them some sassy power. This song is my sister, Baileys's favorite song.

 JB:     How would you describe the brand that you now represent? To really stand out in the SL Music scene, you have to have something special about your performances. How do you define your music style?

JW:     I am not sure how to describe what I do as I sing such a variety of songs. I look for different tracks and listen to different styles. When I perform, I put my heart into it ... I sing with my soul and my emotions and I can only hope that is what shines through.

JB:     Are there any truly landmark performances you can recall?  “Best Memories” of performing, both in RL and in SL?

JW:     In RL, I remember when I was kid and we joined a talent show as a family… We did the 12 days of Christmas. It was four of us and we had such an amazing time trying to catch each other on the next day of Christmas. I think it was just about the fun of it!

In SL it was my first show after coming back... I had just purchased a new mixer and mic... and then my friend Sully was like hey... we have a cancellation at Zoffee's. Can you come?  I said what?... I haven't practiced or anything and he was like... “You don't need practice ... I promise! Well, I went and the experience was amazing!  I still perform at Zoffee's every other Saturday evening - 4 years later.

JB:     How did you take the news when they first announced your name as the winner?

JW:     I was definitely surprised as there was a lot of talent that evening! It was most definitely an honor. Thank you again for the opportunity.

JB:     Jesika, there are lots of budding musicians in SecondLife. What have you found it takes to be a successful musician these days?

JW:     It definitely takes patience. This is not something that takes off right away, if you are looking for an instant audience.  You need to be able to talk with your audience and engage them. Let them know how special they are and how much you appreciate their time and support!

JB:     Do you have any social media sites that folks can visit to see more of you and your work?

 JW:      Yes, I have my Soundcloud, Discord and Facebook where anyone can connect or follow me on. I have posted the links below for anyone who would like to take a look along with some YouTube Videos of me singing in various Venues.

JB:     Do you post your performance schedule for anyone who wants to catch one or more of your gigs?

JW:     I post my Gigs in my Discord and FB Groups along with many Inworld Live Music Groups. I will link my Group for anyone who would like to keep Up-to-Date with my Shows and my Calendar, which is always updated and reliable.

secondlife:///app/group/062bcdf7-c120-4470-25ca-3ed111f1451a/about 

Also, anyone is welcome to come to a show and Subscribe for info regarding performances if they prefer that to joining a group :)

 JB:     Is there anything else you would like to share with our SL Enquirer Readers?

JW:     If you're interested in Jesika singing at your venue or private party, please contact my manager, Baileyhope or me directly, Jesika Wirefly.

So, there you have it Folks.  Jesika is a proven talent in the SL Music Scene, and if you are looking for some great music from a truly inspired singer, I most highly recommend that you catch her act.  Her ability to mesmerize and audience, along with her dulcimer-sweet voice and powerful mastery of the lyrics is guaranteed to leave you wanting more at the end of her set.  I highly encourage you to click on the links above, find a venue of your choice, and go.  This woman is guaranteed to knock your socks off, so I recommend you take a spare pair with you when you go.  You are gonna love this lady.  And when you go, tell ‘em Josh sent ya. You’ll be so glad you did.

Be there!  Aloha!

JB
