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 11th 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 4th, 1776, the final draft was accepted, declaring the thirteen colonies free of the British monarchy. On the 8th of the same year and month, the declaration was announced to the public at Philadelphia Independence Square. On July 4th of the following year, the day was celebrated with bonfires, music, and reveling. In 1870, July 4th 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.

Commentary from SL11B- June 22-July 6th 2014- Lanai Reporting…



Can you believe that Second Life is just about to turn 11 years old? 

For those that do not know SL’s actual birthday, it is July 6th 2003. 

 On that day it will be precisely 132 months and about 3,960 days. In Second Life time that is a virtual lifetime! Through the year so much has happened and so many changes have been made. Creative people have come and gone and countless virtual memories have been made; many of which echo through the community when we are reminded of the past 11 years and who did what. We each leave are mark in one way or another. We build friendships that spill into our real lives and many even fall in love. We are a virtual world community and together we have made Second Life what it is today. It is a unity that breaks boundaries and crosses borders. This virtual world is a mixing and mingling of cultures and imaginations unlike any other. Each day is a surprise waiting to happen as none of us know exactly what each day will bring or who we will meet. It is an escape from the routine of real life and the stresses that are included; an ultimate creative freedom of expression. In Second Life we make our own rules, follow our own paths and meet each other from the inside out.  Our choices and decisions are what dictate our experiences, how involved we are and how much of ourselves we want to share with others.  We are the essence of what it means to be a virtual community so this celebration is for you.

Happy Birthday Second Life and cheers to the community that shaped you!

The SL Enquirer wandered around SL11B  and asked some of the guests what brings them to Second Life. What they do and how has it inspired them in their real life. Here is what they had to say….

Introducing Nightmare House- Would you like to see this artist in Second Life?



Producer Bio
I started making music when I was 5, and started producing electronic music when I was 14. When I was introduced to the first ever electronic song I had ever heard, I knew almost immediately that I wanted to be able to create something that sounded like what I had heard. I was given an iMac for Christmas in 2008 and it came with Garageband, a simple to use music production software.

I used Garageband for a few years, which was a surprise to everybody who asked me what digital audio workstation i used, because Garageband is known to not be that powerful of a program. I gave myself the name "Nightmare House" in January of 2013, and shortly after that had 2 remixes I had done put on the massive network "Dubstep.NET" after they were discovered by the EDM duo CLOUD. I released my first original song on Soundcloud in summer of 2013, with an updated re-edit posted in December of 2013. Since then, I have accumulated over 51,000 plays on Soundcloud alone, and over 65,000 plays on Dubstep.NET's website.

Bubbles has listened to almost all genres of music since she was a child and has a massively eclectic taste in music, with a very strong love of Rock music and ballads/Rock ballads. Many have said that there is not a dry eye in the house after hearing Bubbles deliver one of her passionate, emotional ballads, and that she stirs up many emotions in people when they listen to her sing. With an extensive song list ranging throughout many genres, decades and artists, you will be sure to enjoy her show no matter what your musical preference !!

A new kid on the fashion block - Lacy Muircastle reporting

It is always exciting to see a new designer arrive, it gives one hope that SL will in fact go on.

David Heather is said new kid on the fashion block, now to say that David Heather designs are unique would be a significant  understatement.

 The synopsis of what David Heather offers is as follows:

David Heather offers you a wide range of elegant, creepy, and unique high fashion couture apparel, accessories and skins to set your avatar apart from the masses.

My comment would be that the clothes are not creepy per se but the sim definitely is!  And as long as you are into red, black and white, then all is good.

Over to you to make up your own minds

Linda Lauren’s Color Forecast™ Explained:

As a 4th generation psychic medium and color consultant, one of my goals is to remind people that they have the personal power to make their days brighter.  I do it through teaching them to sense their aura’s reflection through the colors of the calendar, and how to use color to brighten the spirit and lighten the mood. Colors guide us to focus on what is most important. It can also tell a story so you can change the scene of any picture, so it can change something within you.

Spotlight on SL’s top model Sylphia Constantine - Tea Couturier Reporting...



Fashion too many can be viewed differently. However, being a model or  super model whether in SL or RL is the same. Dedication, drive, ambition and the love of fashion is what makes them successful.





In Second Life the fashion industry has changed. We have seen fashion icons come and then go as well as fashion houses. However, one thing that always remains the same are models and the demand for top models. I was lucky enough to bump into  Sylphia Constantine and talk about her modelling experiences and her rise to becoming one of SL’s top models.

Getting Connected with AvatarHookup.com; a new avatar social network available for virtual worlds- Lanai Jarrico Reporting…


Social Media plays an important role in how many people network and socialize in today’s technological age. It provides a digital place to share information, photo and videos with the masses at the click of a button. 

There are a variety of social networks available across the web that provide a presence for free and can certainly replace the high costs of advertising if you know how to use them. Facebook is the most widely used social media network available today but because of their terms of service, many virtual world residents are finding themselves locked out and unable to expand their following because avatars are not considered “real people”. Some would agree that avatars are not while the business side of virtual worlds disagrees as it hinders their ability to grow their business without this vital social media tool.

Xandria Winterwolf created a social media network that was designed to cater to Avatar not such in Second Life but in virtual worlds as a whole. It provides the same concept as the “real world” social media networks but it is a place where an Avatar name is just as important as a real one. Let’s find out more about Avatarhookup.com

Interview with Xandria Winterwolf

What's the Wildest Thing You've Ever Done In SL?- Ccoursey reporting...



I found out one thing when asking this question:  Everyone has different thoughts of wild.  The definition of wild is uncontrolled or unrestrained, especially in the pursuit of pleasure.  It seems some people were prone to stop talking and avoid the question completely, leaving me to only assume they thought I meant wild as in sexual. 






 It doesn't have to be, and the stories I ended up with will have you chuckling, giggling, or maybe thinking along the lines that "I've gotta try that".  Huge thanks to everyone who participated.

The man from this story agreed to participate as long as I kept his identity a secret.  So we'll call him John Doe.

Cris:  What's the wildest thing you've ever done in SL?

'John Doe':  Sex with me and five women- both pixels and skype all at the same time.

Summer Fashion and Fun Hunts for Couples in Second Life- Ccoursey Reporting...


It's always cute to mix and match with someone.  So dare your man to try to match you this summer.

  A lot of the hunts this month are making that possible.  The first outfit looks awesome on or around the beach, plus what man would not tell you that you looked great in just a towel.  Plus for my Aussie it was close to his favorite state- "The one were you don't have to wear clothes".  (Facepalm).  The Life's a Beach Hunt is only 2L an object, you are looking for sandals or thongs as the Aussie says.  This outfit came from B-Dazzled.  Hint for females is "Hope it Doesn't Get Dirty" and the male gift hint is "Check to See if My Shoe is on the Right Foot".  Textures and the colors just pop making it an eye catching find this summer.

Spotlight on ChicagoSax- Bringing real life musical expertise to the Virtual world, Sunny Love Holiday Reporting



Chicagosax Resident is one of the fastest rising stars on the Second Life (SL) live musical performance scene to date. Taking into consideration of his musical expertise, it easy to understand why. Chicagosax is known in real life (RL) as George Buetow, a founding member the 1960’s garage band "The Missing Link"s. 





This group of 4 talented musicians used self-development and discipline to work their way up the Chicago music scene, and opened for the Rolling Stones in 1965. The group was later reformed in 1968, and those members became the group known around the world as "Chicago". With all that musical background, it is no wonder why his venue, called Chicago's Place, is a popular place for music lovers to congregate.

Together with a team of highly skilled professional consultants, Chicagosax carefully planned out the venues design, sound business practices, and talent searches to ensure a high quality musical experience. Chicago's place currently has 11 performers. With only 3 of them being Djs, the venue is jumping with live performances featuring Jazz and Blues shows as well as Pop/Rock shows. There are also some exciting professional artists who are about to make their Second Life debuts in the next few months live at Chicago Place.

In the near future, The Chicago's Place exclusive VIP section will be open. This will be a place where performers will be able to have small private concerts, where the artists talks to their audience about their experiences in the music business. I was lucky enough to get a sneak peak of this VIP section along with a grand tour of the venue when I met up with Mr. Chicagosax earlier this week. Truly being humbled by the fact that he took time out of his busy schedule to show me around and answer a few questions.
