image retrieved from slnewser.com

 

Although not as many real life businesses have an inworld presence as a few years ago, some continue to do some work in Second Life. One I hadn't heard of doing so was Raytheon, at least until I stumbled across a Youtube by accident.

Bonetto Club and Designs, the Sim that Love Built Lukes Lionheart Reporting...



Welcome to Bonetto's Club

 Lynnie Michigan had decided that this particular night was going to be her last night on SL. Though she had become a successful singer on SL and had many friends, let's face it, SL is not always sunshine and roses. Just like in RL there are knuckle heads around that can ruin all the positive things about SL. That is when a mutual friend introduced her to Porkie Bonetto. As she told me: “I was ready to leave sl. The night I met Porkie I was silently saying goodbye to sl because I found no purpose to being here. I was at this one club, in fact it was the old club that was where our current club is, and landed next to him. He was so cute there dancing with his arms and legs flying every which way lol. I noticed how he talked to people in chat. It was so real and he treated everyone with respect. It was just his mannerisms and the way he worded everything I could tell he was genuine. I had inquired who he was and she told me to say hi and I said noooooooooooooooo! I was rather shy. Finally she got tired of answering my questions and told Porkie to say hello to me. He did! I guess you could say he truly "Had me At Hello". That was June 18, almost 3 years ago.”

Interview with the Easter Bunny Lanai Jarrico Reporting...



Lanai Jarrico at EasterTown

      


     Easter is a holiday that is observed on the first Sunday after the full moon by Christians around the world. It consists of a feast and celebration of the resurrection of Christ. For others, it's a trip to the mall with the kids for pictures with the Easter bunny followed by a quick stop at a convenient store for cheap baskets with excessive fake grass and jelly beans. To each his own.

In Second Life©, Easter and other religious holidays are observed in a variety of ways. Avatars can go to Sunday services at a church, worship in a synagogue, temple or other sacred places with their virtual family and friends. For Easter, activities include, special services, Easter egg hunts, holiday themed parties and concerts to raise funds for Charities and other humanitarian causes. Besides that, lots of things go on sale, and in the role play community, it's fun to just use your imagination.

Spotlight on Spiritfire Entertainment and Sher Salmson Allen Eppenberger Reporting...



Spiritfire Music Isle

I had the pleasure of interviewing Shar Salmson for this week’s Spotlight. She’s a lovely entertainer, whose company, Spiritfire Entertainment, acts as an agent for numerous musical venues and artists in Second Life.

Sher invited me to the interview on her island, called Spiritfire Music Isle, appropriately. It’s a relaxing place, playfully shaped as a guitar! There is a large stage placed where the bridge would be. A circular deck for the acoustic sound opening. A rough stone fret walkway leading up the neck. And six piers on either side of the head to complete the tuning keys. In addition, on other parts of the island, you’ll find an intimate bar, small shops, and hotspot streaming of various artists.

Spotlight on Avacar Bluestar, an Active Leader in the Gay Community. Lanai Jarrico Reporting...

Avacar Bluestar and Lanai Jarrico

It’s not too often I get to sit down with another Media CEO and share stories about what brought us to Second Life, let alone simultaneously conducting an interview with one another. Talk about an awkward first meeting set up by a friend...

We were both interested in interviewing the other but unsure who was doing the asking at the time. After breaking the awkward silence, we shared a mutual introduction. Avacar initiated the beginning of an interesting conversation by asking me questions about my history here in the virtual world. It turns out, his virtual world experience started much like my own. I quickly learned that we both have one starting point in common; The Sims Online. Avacar and I joked about making pizza as we sat in my office sharing our stories. He told me how he took over GWN operations when the founder suddenly passed away. At the time, Avacar was a leading writer that wanted to continue his friend’s vision. He shared his dedication and sacrifices and how some of it even created turmoil in his real life. Looking back I’m sure it was worth the effort, but it is now time for him to move forward to another media project. *gasps* Opps! Did I just let the cat out of the bag?

Meet The Flying Tigers! Lukes Lionheart Reporting...



The Tiger in Flight

  Just when you think nothing on sl can surprise you anymore, you find yourself in the middle of a WWII aviation reenactment as a side gunner on a Japanese bomber with a white wolf wearing angle wings as your pilot. No kidding, but I digress. What started out four years ago as a small group of nomadic aviator friends flying around the grid for fun has evolved into a multi sim operation, the largest aviation group in sl with over 2400 members and a bunch of downright fun folks to hang out with.   Meet “The Flying Tigers”.
