Two Holiday Pop-Up Stores Open at Dench Designs - Sheristrawberri Reporting



                                             


Holiday pop-up stores for both St. Patrick’s Day and Easter are now open at Dench Designs. Each store offers holiday-based items ranging from décor to an array of animesh characters. These are two of five different seasonal pop-up stores that Amanda Dench uses to provide holiday-based items for her customers.

“I have Valentine, St. Patrick’s, Easter, Halloween and Christmas,” said Amanda.

Amanda came to Second Life in early 2007 and later that year she had begun building furniture. By the middle of 2008 she had opened up her first store to sell her creations.

In all that time she has remained successful because she listens to her customers. In fact, it was her customers who requested the St. Patrick’s shop.

                                             

                                            



“I opened it mostly because people were asking,” she said. “It’s not something that’s celebrated much in England these days,” she added, speaking of her homeland.

“I used to put St. Patrick's Day and Easter creations in my main store but not a dedicated space,” said Amanda. Then, as the number of creations for each holiday grew she decided to give each a dedicated space. That happened in 2018.

Amanda said she uses Irish music for a lot of her inspiration for the items in the St. Patrick’s Day store, especially the animesh characters. She pointed out that she loves an Irish jig and has some traditional Irish songs in the store. Both “Danny Boy” and “The Pub with No Beer” by the Irish Rovers greet shoppers


                                                  



The St. Pat’s shop has a lot of animesh characters. When asked how many there are Amanda laughed and said, “Too many for sure. They are very high in land impact.” She said she pays Linden Labs for extra prims so that she can open these pop-up stores and create new characters for them.

“The two new ones are the Riverdancer and ‘Paddy’s lost his clothes,’” she said. She doesn’t worry about Paddy being mostly naked, though. “To be honest, he’s not a looker,” she chuckled.


                                                  


“The Easter shop will have lots of bunnies, flowers and some religious builds,” said Amanda. At the time of the interview, she hadn’t put out her new Easter builds.

“At least Easter is later this year so got a lot of time,” she pointed out.

Amanda regularly creates original sounds and voices for her animesh characters. In fact, the wandering bunnies on the second floor of the Easter store feature her altered voice. And the drunk Easter Bunny’s voice is that of her RL husband. She was quick to point out that he didn’t need to get drunk to do the lines.


                                               



“He’s very good at acting,” she said. “I'll tell him what I need him to say and how and he usually does it in one take.”

In addition to offering items for sale, Amanda plans on showing her generosity by providing themed group gifts for each store.

“I haven't done one yet for the Easter shop. There is last year's gift for the FabFree group but that will need changing.  I've not done one for St. Patrick's because I usually send it on the day via the group messages,” said Amanda.


                                                   



"I like giving lots of gifts," said Amanda. "I like making loads of gifts because I know they are appreciated and make people smile. That is my main purpose, putting a smile on peoples' faces."

She has been putting smiles on people’s faces for 17 years now through here furniture, décor and animesh creations. That includes plenty of St. Patrick’s Day and Easter items now available at her two holiday pop-up stores.

A Look At The Fuzzy Side- Zantic Fenrir Reporting on GYC and Inclusion




                Ahh, furries… We are the crazy adorable animal people you hear all about roaming the grid. Strange, weird, and colorful, we’re well known for keeping to ourselves, rarely being seen outside of ‘our spaces’, places created for furries. However, especially in recent months, several of these spaces have begun to cater to human and other non-furry users, prompting a major shift in many long-standing SL codes of etiquette. To better examine this dynamic shift, I want to bring your attention to one of the largest furry clubs on the grid, GYC.



                Founded in 2001, GYC is a massively successful, long-running club that has historically catered nearly exclusively to furries and furry-adjacent users. Billed as a premier LGBTQ+ Club, many of the users who congregate here fall into the community, including users who are gay, lesbian, transgender, and all shades in between. Whereas many other clubs in this community can come off as very cliquish, and not welcoming to new patrons, GYC has always tried to welcome any who walk into its doors, with many users reaching out to welcome and assist others. Patrons here feel like one big mosh pit of friends and family, instead of small groups keeping to themselves. However, until recently, this hospitality did not apply to non-furry users.

                Historically, furries have often been seen as a ‘taboo’ in many of SL’s major populated areas. We are ignored in public, if not outright harassed by other users. As SL’s code of conduct has grown over the years, we have seen a shift away from this form of exclusion and harassment, but ask yourself: The last time a furry walked into your club, did you or others go out of your way to make them feel welcome? Like they were included? This practice isn’t just exclusive to human and popular clubs, as many furry spaces, GYC included, have had a history of similar exclusion. It’s always easier to ignore the oddballs, those who don’t fit in, rather than extend a hand and make them feel welcome. However, many spaces are going out of their way now to prevent this.

                While many of the patrons at GYC would argue otherwise, the management has declared that anyone and everyone is welcome within the club, regardless of how you identify or present, human, furry, gay, straight, etc. Staff, including hosts and DJs will happily welcome and shout out any who shows up, no more so that GYC’s popular and interactive mixed set DJ, Surfurry, who always manages to draw a massive crowd from all kinds of users when he plays. The dance floor explodes into a massive throng of avatars of all kinds dancing together and for a few hours, it feels like borders and boundaries no longer exist.



                Behind our screens, each one of us is a human being wishing to be seen and accepted. Many of us came to SL for that exact reason, and the freedom to create an avatar of what we want has been a liberating experience for us. When we started dividing and labeling ourselves due to aesthetic differences and lifestyles, we put ourselves back into the same boxes of isolation we were trying to avoid. However, when we look beyond the avatar at the person behind the pixels, whether human, furry, neko, angel, demon, or whatever, we find the same thing: another human being to connect with and forge friendships with. While it’s been such a long period of time for the furry community to be divided from the main user base, changes are slowly happening and acceptance, both towards and from the community, is slowly happening. So before you judge and ignore that rabbit person in the corner, take a night and walk in our shoes (or lack thereof), take a moment and get to know them, you might be surprised. In addition, if you ever want to take a walk on the fuzzy side, places like GYC have you covered with open and welcoming arms!

HOLIDAY MASCOT SERIES: Interview with Cupid 2025- Lanai Jarrico Reporting…

 





Recently I met up with Father Time who seemed annoyed but still did an interview.  He reminded me why Cupid and I had a falling out so not only did I go on my quest to find him but I wanted to apologize for last year. I really didn’t mean to beat him to a pulp with a fist full of roses. I don’t like to get startled. With that said, I search across the grid and found him minding his own business at  Japanese Tempura  Island where he was taking a Tai Chi Class.



Lanai: CUPID! Long time no see! Let me apologize for last year. I really didn’t mean to attack you with roses. I’m sorry *makes a pouty face*


Cupid: OMG, it’s you! Stay away from me. You are like a sour patch kid commercials amplified!  Can’t you see I’m busy!



Lanai: Don’t tell me you are still butt hurt over what happened. It’s been a year, let that shit go. You shouldn’t have startled me. You know my swing reflex is something different..


Cupid: Something different?? That was totally a manic Karen episode! To top it all off you were trespassing in MY garden!


Lanai: Cupid, you know you love me so stop putting up a front. Father time told me all about your holiday date switching plan to avoid me. That’s not how you treat your FWB.


Cupid: Oh he did? So you tracked him down too? You are supposed to stay at least 500 yards away from me.




Lanai: Yea.. that expired.  And stop acting jealous. You didn't have to get the other mascots involved in our personal business.


Cupid: Ohh they have their own reasons for avoiding you. Do I need to remind you what you did to the Easter Bunny on April Fools day? He had to wear a furry pink onesie on Easter and  spent the rest of the year hiding so his own fur would grow back in. He looked like a giant overstuffed mole rat with big ears. I never want to see a grown Easter Bunny ugly cry ever again in my life. It’s horrifying.



Lanai:  It was kinda funny… at the time. Don’t tell me you never switched someone's shampoo for Nair before. Live a little.


Cupid: NO!!! That’s a terrible prank.  What about the time you caused a vicious fight between Larry the Leprechaun and one of Santa’s helpers. They accidentally sewed the wrong ear onto the other. I don’t think they ever found the other missing ear.


Lanai: Hey, that had nothing to do with me. I was at The Blarney Stone having a couple drinks while minding my own business when I heard them arguing about who’s taller. All I did was say, Larry had about a centimeter over the elf. That's when the ear tugging began and well. Yea , that wasn't my fault!


Cupid: MMhmm. Ok what about the time you put cannabis oil in Mrs. Clause’s brownies and  Santa got pulled over while delivering Christmas presents. Good thing everyone loves Santa and they let him off with a warning. Mrs. Clause broke an ankle trying to dance on the table and slipped.  You nearly canceled Christmas for everyone!


Lanai: Wasn’t me.


Cupid: Lanai, you dropped your medical marijuana card and Mrs.Claus found it in her kitchen… Why do you think you got coal this year?




Lanai:Oh, I was wondering where it was. About the coal though,  I collect rocks and figured it was a thoughtful gift! All I was doing was adding a little jolliness to his long night. Lighten up, Christmas was a success. I heard even naughty kids got presents this year.


Cupid: SMH. Why are we having this interview again?


Lanai: Because Valentine’s day is coming up and I wanted to know if you had any words of wisdom for all the lovers out there.


Cupid: Well first of all to any guy who has the slightest interest in asking you to be their Valentine should think twice. Your reputation for being a heartbreaker is probably the most frequently used search term on the internet next to Drones in New Jersey.


Lanai: Anyway…You are just mad that I wouldn't be your Valentine. Remember the time I caught you trying to play a harp at my window while humming a rap song? That was really weird. Of course I threw a shoe at you and turned you down.




Cupid: See. You can’t even appreciate a kind gesture after an amazing time. You… You… heart of stone Queen! I totally regret that night.



Lanai: Not the night before though… lol.  Stop spreading fake news and work on your name calling…



Cupid:*facepalm*  Lanai, you have a way of making people love and hate you at the same time. I’m not sure where this interview is going but I need to pick up my arrows and get ready for Valentine’s day. I have Love to spread.



Lanai: So do I.   I’ll see you later. *winks*


Cupid: *rolls eyes* You are something else. Want to Netflix and chill?


Lanai: Are you asking me out?


Cupid: No…


Lanai: OK, come over.

AN EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH A RECOVERING SEXBALL ADDICT- Lanai Jarrico reporting...





The best part about being a Journalist in Second Life is it’s kinda like a box of chocolates… you never know what you’re going to get. While minding my business and staring at the walls of my media center, in strolls an avie who looked a bit worried and confused. I approached him like I usually do to visitors and asked if he needed any help. He began to sob and admit that he had to get something off of his chest and heard I was the perfect person to talk to about his troubled mind. We found a spot and I let him talk it out.



Interview with a Recovering Sexball Addict




Lanai: Thank you for agreeing to sit with me for this very important conversation. I know you wish to remain anonymous so I will just call you S.A.. Is that ok? So what seems to be the problem?



Ex Sexball Addict: Thats fine, yeah. Well I used to have an addiction to Sex Balls in Second Life and would do whatever I could to cure my cravings.



Lanai: Can I ask.. Since there are a variety of Sex balls in SL. Some are pretty Vanilla and others are well…beyond freaky. What are we talking about here?


Ex Sexball Addict: Oh all sorts…against walls, on beds, in hammocks….you name it!


Lanai: OK I got it… It takes a lot of courage to admit you have a problem and even more to express it boldly to me. Let me start by asking… When did you realize you had this serious problem?


Ex Sexball Addict: Well it all started about 12 years ago when I walked into a club and people were pixel humping about the place.  I watched for a while and got propositioned by a woman and we found an unused bed upstairs and started doing stuff on the pose balls.  I won’t go into graphic details but you can imagine the sort of kinky fun we had.  After that I started wanting more and met with this lady a few more times, but she disappeared so i had to get my fix elsewhere.



Lanai: Yea let’s not get into the graphic details. I don’t want to be responsible for your relapse. So tell me, Why did you consider yourself a sex addict when it seems everyone across the grid gets their freak on. According to the annual avie baby census. Birth rates have skyrocketed in the past 6 months. Have you fathered any children during your addiction?



Ex Sexball Addict: Well the sky rocketing has nothing to do with me (laughs).  I learned of Mama Allpa after a year and I believe I have 6 kids across the grids.  But they were all one night stands and the momma’s never wanted to hear from me again so I let them be.



Lanai: Well good thing child support isn’t enforced in Second Life or you would be screwed (no pun intended). So what was the catalyst in you realizing you had a serious sexball problem and needed help?


Ex Sexball Addict: (laughs) this is true.  Well the catalyst was when i started paying for sex, i would spend upwards of 10K to get my kicks and would frequent loads of sex only clubs to do so.  When i couldn’t pay my real life bills that’s when I knew something was wrong and had to stop and seek help.  



Lanai: Well damn 10k! Was that all in a day or over a span of time? 


Ex Sexball Addict: It was over a week and at several different places.  I had my favourite spots so to speak and would usually do the rounds of 2-3 clubs


Lanai: Hmm 10k over a week span tells me that you went for the low budget escorts.


Ex Sexball Addict: That’s how it started, then the prices rose, soon it was 25k a week.



Lanai: Yeah, that is a serious problem.  With the epidemic of gender imposters, do you think a few of them slipped through the cracks with you? 


Ex Sexball Addict: Oh probably, but if they presented as female, i took them as female, so to speak.  I didn’t care I just needed my jollies and i needed them THEN.  I have to admit something, I met a woman at the old SLE offices and we had pixel sex on the desk.  It was dangerous but we never got caught.  Sorry about that, but i think it might have been YOUR desk.


Lanai: FFS… Good thing we have cameras.. I just never knew who those two were… I respect your honesty though. If it makes you feel any better. It’s a good thing STDs don’t spread in Second life but I have heard of people getting severe carpal tunnel and tennis elbow from vigorous masturbation. Have you experienced that?


Ex Sexball Addict: No not really, I’m not the one that had to worry about that.  She was great though, lemme tell ya!



Lanai: I don’t even want to know if she was an employee, the camera quality was pretty gritty…. Anyway,  Perhaps it will happen later on in life… SO what have you done to break yourself of this addiction?


Ex Sexball Addict: Well I have a photograph if you need proof (laughs) Anyway I found a group in SL and they helped me immensely.  They had a 5 step programme that effectively weaned me off of poseballs and sex clubs and taught me shame, humility and a sense of respect.



Lanai: Yes! I’ve heard about that program. The furry community has really stepped up their game to help the SL community aside from doing whatever it is they do behind the scenes. Tell me more about the 5 steps. 


Ex Sexball Addict: Well there were Furries there who had the same addiction so we all helped each other overcome this nasty affliction.  Step 1 is realization, admitting you have a problem and coming to terms with it.  Step 2 is the shame, the shame it brings on you and others.  The other steps i can’t quite remember


Lanai: MMhmm. I see… Sounds like an Alcoholics Anonymous program.


Ex Sexball Addict: Well i never been to one of them so i wouldn’t know


Lanai: Well, from what I heard they really put you through it and you have to call a sponsor whenever you get the urge.  So Anyway,  now that you are recovering from your sex addiction in Second life, do you mind if I ask…..Did you remove your ummm *points at his packet*. I figure it's the first step in the program…


Ex Sexball Addict: No, I still keep it there for posterity.  That and it helps me tell the time and find water. (laughs)


Lanai: LMAO. OK then.


Ex Sexball Addict: (laughs) no I still have it in my inventory for that special lady when the time comes to settle down.

Lanai: Well, that brings me to my next question because Valentine’s Day is right around the corner and we all know what’s on everyone's mind on that day. What are your plans?


Ex Sexball Addict: I don’t know in all honesty, I'm not looking for love in SL right now, or anything else for that matter, but who knows?  Maybe that special someone is right around the corner and we can have a lasting relationship with or without pixel humping.


Lanai: Lasting relationships in SL are a myth. You have more of a chance finding a Unicorn in a thong.  So basically you are telling me that you are practicing abstinence for the rest of your SLife?



Ex Sexball Addict: (laughs) That’s not the attitude they taught on the programme.  No, just til the right woman comes along.  Until then, I’m being a good boy and remembering what the programme taught me.


Lanai: Well, all I can say is I wish you the best of luck in your continued sex sobriety.


Ex Sexball Addict: Thank you, that means a lot.
