The Freak Show and Thunderstorm Entertainment presents the Prodigy Tribute Concert Friday September 12 at 5pm SLT

The Prodigy are an English electronic music group formed by Liam Howlett in 1990. The current members include Liam Howlett (keyboardist and composer), Keith Flint (dancer and vocalist), Leo Crabtree (drums), Rob Holliday (lead guitarist) and Maxim (MC and vocalist). Leeroy Thornhill (dancer and occasional live keyboardist) was a member of the band from 1990 to 2000, as was a female dancer and vocalist called Sharky who left the group during their early period.

Along with the Chemical Brothers, Fatboy Slim and other acts, The Prodigy have been credited as pioneers of the big beat genre, which achieved mainstream popularity in the 1990s and 2000s. They have sold over 25 million records worldwide. The group has won numerous music awards throughout their career, including two Brit Awards—winning Best British Dance Act twice, three MTV Video Music Awards, two Kerrang! Awards, five MTV Europe Music Awards, and have twice been nominated for Grammy Awards.

The group's brand of music makes use of various styles ranging from rave, hardcore techno, industrial, jungle and break beat in the early 1990s to big beat and electronic rock with punk vocal elements in later times. The Prodigy first emerged on the underground rave scene in the early 1990s and have since achieved popularity and worldwide renown.

A kind-hearted blue-blood, a look into Marcus Lefevre’s Life -Mikile Vinciolo Reporting…

When you think of blood-blue, the gentry, the thought evokes rich, well-mannered, courtly, moneyed and, of course, the possible uptight attitude that gives the genteel permission to look down their long, lofty noses at those of us scramble to make ends meet. When meeting Marcus Lefevre, he changes one’s perception of this privied gaggle of fine-feathered geese. He does possess the money, fame, manners and regality that conjures the spirit of a powerful king, but he is the opposite of snobby, and he comes to understand us “regular” folks, as he was once one of us. He, in the words of pop rapper Drake, started from the bottom now he is here.

 He made his fortune the traditional approach, through hard-work and diligence. He climbed the corporate ladder in the Realty industry and has never looked back with his sheer tunnel focus. Now, he luxuriates in the lap of luxury, continuing to work on his legacy, carving an imprint on SL that will sure outlast the impermanence of the physical accoutrements that this kind-hearted blood-blue worked so arduously to acquire.

What is Individualism? Mikile Vinciolo Reporting….

Individualism can be classified as a state or stance of being independent in every aspect of life-morally, politically and socially. Individualism is not to be confused with the state of being alone, but a separately functioning entity in a realm of collectivism and notions of group think. Individualism is about pulling away from the crowd in the sense of establishing oneself as something of a sovereign entity. “Individualism allows one to follow their own dictates, often motivated by inner intuition rather than outer influences.  Listens to their inner voice and interacts to outer stimuli based on these feelings and ideals that are produced as a result. Often unique, from those observing them, and sometimes mainstream however this too would be the result of their own singular choice,” says Indea Vaher.

Geekspeak for Geeks to Speak- Mikile Vinciolo Reporting…

Never in my life as an upcoming nerd or geek would I have imagined it being cool. Being a nerd and/or geek was shunned in my formative years as a student in lower education institutions.

Talking about gaming, technology, intergalactic activity and a desire to participate in aforementioned list made us an automatic target for wedgies, revile conversation, smear campaigns, and, in extreme cases, having to defend ourselves in courtyards after-school. 

Being nerd also had its perks, especially in the realm of academics, which is all that really was of consequence to us gain of mega-brains.

We excelled at subjects that other found difficult to wrap their diminutive brains around making us favorites of the Academia. We were doted over by teachers, counselors and the school for raising their national rankings on the catalog of premier schools. We were often sought out by fellow classmate/schoolmates for help with homework or test tasking tips to help the academically ailing cure their stupidity "disease".

Celebrating Independence Day in Second Life

Pool parties, endless sunshine and fireworks is what Independence Day in the modern day is all about. However, at its original inception and the times prior, Independence Day holds a deeper significance on the timeline of American history...it represents the day that America declared its emancipation from the reign and taxation of the British Isle.

The original thirteen colonies grew weary of having to pay taxes to King George III as a voiceless entity in the British parliament. The colonies convened on June the 11^th forming a committee that would pen a document declaring independence from the reign of the British monarchy’s tyranny.

Jefferson and his colleagues drafted numerous copies of the declaration of independence until it was perfect. On July 4^th, 1776, the final draft was accepted, declaring the thirteen colonies free of the British monarchy. On the 8^th of the same year and month, the declaration was announced to the public at Philadelphia Independence Square. On July 4^th of the following year, the day was celebrated with bonfires, music, and reveling. In 1870, July 4^th was proclaimed a national holiday in observation of the thirteen colonies gaining their independence.

The tradition of celebration continues to this day with grand scale firework displays in lieu of the bonfires, and the continued reveling with barbecues and picnics.

Spring Forward: Street Fashion and Style- Mikile Vinciolo Reporting…

Spring fashions this year round still follows a trend, as always, and so do avid patrons of the industry. However, for the majority of individuals, it is more about the freedom of expression through the medium of style and clothing.

The mainstays of fashions seems to be: floral and other fun patterns, pastels, light fabrics that catches hold of the spring breeze and allows for "breathing". There is also the mix of jackets, thin sweaters, and other Fall essentials in spring colours mixed in.

You also include shorts, sandals, and tanks as well to completely shed any items reflective of the winter past.

Get Prepared. April Fool’s Day is Tomorrow- Mikile Vinciolo Reporting…

With March headed to its finale at midnight tonight, I’m thinking of how quickly this month has past, beginning a new one.

With the arrival of April, we traditionally expect showers for the entire or the prevalent part of the month. There is also Easter, celebrating the death and resurrection of the Christian God, which is symbolic of the winter's departure and the arrival of spring.

April also happens to be the month of April’s Fools. April’s Fools day is celebrated by some and dreaded by others. It falls on the first day of the month, a prelude to the joyous nature of spring. It happens also to be a day for pranksters to revel in their madness and put their best prank foot forward.

But, for those such as myself that are inquisitive about the creation of this day, I have discovered that the origins of this day is highly debatable.

According to Discovery News, there are several tales as to how April’s Fools day began. One such story began with Pope Gregory XIII creating a new calendar for adoption. The new calendar ultimately changed the celebration of the New Year from the first of April to January 1st.

April’s Fools day rooted from pranks being played on individuals that refused to recognize the new calendar change, by those who had.

Another variation states that the Roman Empire celebrated the arrival of the god Attis, on a day labeled Hilaria, or Roman Laughing day.

In India, the equivalent is Holi Day, or the colourful celebration where revelers are showered with coloured powders, and celebrate their Hindu beliefs jovially. The Hindu also are known to poke fun at non-Hindu believers during this festival day.

With this day celebrating the prankster in us all, I wanted to know how others celebrate the day, and what would be an ideal prank to play on a family member or friend.

So I asked a series of individuals, "How do you celebrate April’s Fools day?"

Opium Evolution: A Fashion Show Well Done- Mikile Vinciolo Reporting...

It was Saturday morning March 22, 2014 as I pulled up a seat at a bistro-style table, awaiting for a fashion show themed for the Great Gatsby.

I was able to get a seek peek of the models behind the scenes. I examine the gowns, suits, and dresses that were on the mark with the era and the costumes of the movie released in 2013. The runway room was dark with white accents brimming the edges. It was very film noir.

AVIE POLL:Oh, Boy! What an Adventure!- Mikile Vinciolo Reporting…

With spring’s arrival and summer’s soon-to-be debut not too far beyond, outdoor activities are in full swing.

The birds are chirping, the grass is deliciously green, the trees are taking foliage, the sky is become a scene worthy of a painting, and people are coming out of hibernation.

With the scraping away of the snow and severely cold weather, adventure is definitely the smell in the air.

 An adventure for me is something that involves the outdoor, mostly. The outdoor voyage can be various in lengths, place and activity, but as long as it is outside, I can be put down for it. I love the smell of the outdoors, when it is not perfused with rancid, putrid smells of....uh!...nevermind.

Take a Trip to SL Jamaica; a Virtual Beauty to almost rival that of "true" Jamaica- Mikile Vinciolo Reporting…

I grew bored of my mundane Second life, living a virtual life in an average family community sim with a slowly diminishing population can cause an avie to want to break free.

I needed an immediate break from the ordinary, so I packed a bag, or two, or three, and I took to the nearest airport and SL Jamaica was on my travel itinerary.

I knew that this paradise had to exist somewhere on this virtual platform, and I had finally found it, or should I say, it had finally found me.

Meet Ava Jhamin- Taking Charge of a Censored Fashion Industry- Mikile Vinciolo Reporting…

Second Life’s fashion industry is one of the biggest on-grid industries, following suit of the Real-World fashion industry. The industry has developed into a mass market, generating buzz offline in glitterati circles brimmed with big Real-World fashion names. Within this ever-growing mega industry, few individuals that sashays to the forefront of the fashion industry, takes off with it.

Second life fashion industry has catapulted the careers of designers, fashion bloggers, and most importantly, its models. One name in particular that takes the cake for me is the fabulous and humble Ava Jhamin. Miss Ava has graced over 200 fashion show runways within the Second Life platform. She started her career as most SL models tend to-fashion and model-specific academic training; as second life is filled with a cornucopia of fashion-specific academies to accommodate the further blossoming of the Second Life fashion industry. She attended a number of schools to hone her craft, but as she paints her past with the number of academies she attended she only found one in the lot that was satisfactory, after having spent 60,000L as part of her adventure to find an academy with a substantial curriculum. As I expressed my complete shock and disgust, she soothes my pain with the mention of her own venture with fashion academia-L’amour brand.
