Best Formal attire for those Classy Occasions in Second Life…. By Tea Couturier.


Sometimes it can be hard to find that perfect outfit when you have an event to go to or you and your partner are heading out for a romantic night out.

Well never fear, here is a list of some lovely formal wear and where to shop for them.

SHEY - Janelle Extraordinary Gown
I love this dress. It comes with a HUD which can change the texture of the dress so that you can keep the same design but have it in different 16 colors. It is an elegant mesh gown which will look lovely for any event. There is a demo available to purchase to try before you buy it. It costs only 599L also so this is a definitely one for the closet.




Celebrating World Goth Day SL style - Lacy Muircastle reporting ....


Second Life offers everyone the opportunity to be who or what they want to be, it also offers a place in which you can belong to any group you so choose without prejudice or discrimination, basically offering those who wish to be a little different a safe haven from the harsh realities of RL.

AVIE POLL: Why Does One Log In to Second Life?- Ccoursey Reporting...






What is it you can't live without in Second Life? What makes it worth logging in day after day ?  Hmm, ever thought about it? 


 Everyone has their own reasons for logging in, whether it be to have some fun, make some extra cash on the side, or just have a bit of social interaction.  To actually enjoy and reap the benefits of Second Life I've seen time and again someone has to have a reason to log in and make the best of their Second Life, otherwise what is the point?

 I've seen too many new people log in and get bored, leaving the game and missing great experiences and opportunities Second Life has to offer.  When I first started Second Life it was my friends and photography that kept me coming back.  I may have had my hand in a few different things, but it wasn't what I was logging in for.  Times have changed things a bit, but there is still pictures and true friends with me for my journey in this virtual world.

 What do others log in for?  It isn't like we are all here for the same thing...

The Mother of Baby Products Trace Corbets- Piers Diesel Reporting...



With this past Mother’s day now behind us, the baby products industry in Second Life is still as competitive as in any business in Second Life. 




 SLE set its sights on what the parents in Second Life want and need to make sure they have a complete parenting experience and how they keep their little ones happy.

Many of us have heard  GOOCCI GOO and are aware that it is one of the leading baby brand names in Second Life but we do not know much about the creator Trace Coberts.
Trace has worked hard in building her business to what it is today and SLE thought it was time to shine our spotlight and find out a bit more about her . This interview is not only for our readers but also for her loyal customers who have supported her and have helped Trace’s business grow.

Avi Poll -- Detecting Gender Imposters in SL- Silky Soulstar Reporting…



Real life gender always seems to be a topic of hot debate, especially for those with something to hide.  But even though there are those who always say that gender just does not matter, there are times when it does without a doubt. So how do you detect the gender imposter?

First let’s send away the argument that RL gender does not matter.  Sometimes it may not, but other times it does unmistakably. Motives behind males masquerading as females can be scary enough, or even predatory in nature. Lesbian women in particular struggle with protecting their rights to congregate in a safe environment.  There is an odd and sexually-charged fascination certain men have with women in same-sex relationships.  Lesbian women need the space to fully experience and keep their relationships in a harassment-free environment.

Technology: What is the SL Go Viewer?- Jessii2009 Warrol Reporting…




If you have heard of the new SL Go viewer, then you probably have heard the negativity surrounding the launch of the project. 

The biggest gripes were the cost of the program. When SL Go was first launched, users had to purchase access via minutes. This type of pricing model was something that had not been since the early 90’s and was reminiscent of old internet dial up plans. Linden Labs and OnLive actually listened and now you can enjoy this great application for the low cost of 9.99 USD a month. So what is SL Go?

Meet Debi Palmira; Second Life’s Renowned DJ Manager- Piers Diesel Reporting...


Have you ever wanted to know what it would be like to be a music manager in Second Life?

 It can be a tough and demanding job especially when you are Debi Palmira who managers Dj’s in Second Life. I took the opportunity while she wasn’t busy to chat with her about her work and to find out a little bit about her when she isn’t busy working.










Piers: Can you tell our readers a bit about yourself?

Debi:  I am born and raised in Minnesota. Been on Second Life since Dec 2008. Music was a big part of my family's life whether it be playing an instrument (I played flute lol) to whatever was put on to listen on the stereo. So really, it's no surprise I gravitated to the music scene not long after starting SL.

Lanai celebrates 9 years in SL in style - Lacy Muircastle reporting ....





















The 9th of May saw the ninth anniversary of Lanai Jarrico's rezz day into Second Life and just like the lady herself it was celebrated with great style and panache.

History of Mother's Day (May 11th): How is it observed in SL?


Today is that special day where we honor our mother’s or mum’s in my case. So how did this special day come about? The concept of Mother’s Day in the States is attributed to two different women: Julia Ward Howe and Anna Jarvis. In 1870 Julia Ward Howe called for a special day to encourage pacifism and disarmament among women. This day was held in Boston for about 10 years. In 1907, Anna Jarvis held a private Mother’s Day celebration in memory of her mother in West Virginia. Based on this event, Anna would organize “Mother’s Day Work Clubs” to improve the stability of the area where she lived. Anna would soon launch a state wide, then a nationwide campaign to expand this concept.

Fishing in Second Life-Jessi2009 Warrol Reporting…


There are many things to do in Second Life and apparently one of those things is fishing. Yes fishing, complete with rods, fishing line, boats, and of course fish! 

A really good friend of mine, John, is a fisher in Second Life and he took the time to explain to me the various types of fishing systems from both a fisher and land owner standpoint.


We were standing in the 7Seas Area on Tribute City, which definitely did not smell “fishy”.  As John explained, “Fishing in Second Life is very similar to real life fishing, without having to actually clean the fish. There are many systems available. 7Seas, Neo Realms, Fish Hunt, Magic Fishing, and Star Fishing are the most well-known fishing systems. There is also Evo-Fishing, which I really don’t know much about”.

“Each fishing systems have their own ups and downs”, John continued. “I have fished them all. My personal favorite is Fish Hunt, but I really enjoy hosting 7Seas and Neo-Realms”. We teleported down to the main area of Tribute City, which is fishing central. I noticed buoys, vendors, and what looked like bait barrels.

New Dating Service Grand Opening for the Dominant and Submissive Community



FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

New Dating Service Grand Opening for the Dominant and Submissive Community

Zurich Hillside, Secondlife (May 7, 2014) - Long time Secondlife resident, Jen Tafler, has opened a new matching service.  This service is dedicated to the Dominant and Submissive Community in hopes of bridging the gap between not knowing where to meet their ideal partner and the constraints of RL timezones and life in general.

"This is a great example of how you can integrate a void in service availability using multiple disciplines to provide the best solutions for the community," said Jen Tafler, Owner and CEO at DS Matching Services. "In creating this venue, we are providing an opportunity for people around the world to connect through another avenue not previously available or known thereof.."

DS Matching Services is an inworld dating system designed to provide Masters, Mistresses, FemDoms and Submissives with the ability to connect with each other based on a Profile Board Notecard.  This notecard is designed with opened questions that outline key information a potential suitor would like to know to make choices on their best possible partner match.  The system allows the Profile Board Owner/User to also outline their ideal partner, thus a better matching connection for future meetings and dates.

Take Part in Combat; Show Your Brutal Side- Piers Diesel Reporting...


Real life is rarely on the verge of mortal combat. Even when war takes place, most just watch it on television. No one joins the army. This leaves a void in many. The desire for all-out fights never gets fulfilled. The monotony of life takes over us and the pent-up aggression begins to show up as defects in our personalities. This may explain some weird behavior in real life.
But thanks to Second Life, we have a few places where we can release our pent-up emotions. These places let you indulge in your brutal fantasies at no cost to real life.

Here is a list:

THE WAR OF SECOND LIFE MUSIC TALENT- Lanai Jarrico Reporting…


“Music produces a kind of pleasure which human nature cannot do without.” 



It has been brought to SLE’s attention that an SL Musician has been at verbal war via Facebook over a comment he made in regards to karaoke singers in Second Life. Freedom of expression is what allows us to speak our minds, particularly on social networks with today’s technology while receiving instant feedback. The only problem is in doing so, it opens the flood gates for others to voice their own opinions and ideas in agreement or against the comments being made.

 This particular incident has caused a verbal war of words between some musicians, Karaoke talents and fans alike who share the same entertainment circuit in the virtual world.
This type of social media friction is threatening what was once a thriving community of various talent who once supported each other in the name of music. Now it seems virtual rock-stardom has gotten to some heads and have shot up their ego way beyond  the atmosphere of rational virtual thinking. Could relationships between entertainers be resolved or will this feud continue and cause a collapse of support for SL music entertainment? Let’s not forget the fans as they are the ones who will ultimately decide.

It’s Cinco De Mayo! Do You Know What it’s Really About?


Cinco De Mayo means the 5th of May in Spanish and is a national holiday observed in Mexico. It is the anniversary of the Battle of Puebla in which a victory against Napoleon III’s French forces occurred in 1862. 

In Mexico, this day is celebrated with parades and reenactments of the battle. In the United States, Cinco de Mayo is observed with week long festivities including music, dancing and lots of great food!
Avatars from around the globe in Second Life like to join in the festivities by throwing parties of their own. Here are some locations  where you can celebrate Cinco de Mayo, virtual style.

AVIE POLL: Catching Avies off Guard – Glossom Resident Reporting



What If a stranger contacted you to ask you something that makes no sense? Would you ignore it, reply nonsense back or would you try to understand?  Are second lifers humorous or grumpy? To which side the scale weighs more?




The SLE’s PE (SL Enquirer’s Private Eye) took action on finding the answer to those questions and went around asking avatars some very off tilt questions to see if and how they would respond. The result was simply hilarious.

With a stained reputation and a big label on my forehead saying “Crazy”, I have a feeling of mission accomplished. Today avatars will login to a more confused and hopefully humorous Second Life.

Given the nature of this mission, we will keep the participants names anonymous. Sit back, enjoy and try not to laugh. I challenge you!
