The 1st LUXE Paris LOOK of the DAY: PARIS SAINT LAURENT!


It was in a whirlwind of fashion, love, and excitement that the first LOOK of the DAY competition, the most beautiful LUXE Paris look in the audience, took place on Saturday. Paris Saint Laurent took the crown in a sumptuous red silk gown, the Amore dress by LUXE Paris, perfectly in keeping with the theme of the event, entitled FASHION as a LOVE POTION.

Top models Melinda Bayn and Athena Fireheart also shone, taking second and third place, respectively.

"Wow, I can't believe it, I've always dreamed of being a model," exclaimed Paris, who can now count on the support of LUXE Paris to make her dream a reality.

"That was fun," added Melinda, highlighting the friendly and uncomplicated atmosphere of this new competition.

"I'm going to keep participating to win," declared Athena enthusiastically.

The LOOK of the DAY competition will indeed take place at all LUXE Paris fashion shows, culminating in a grand finale in 12 months.

Participants simply had to attend the FASHION as a LOVE POTION show in their finest LUXE Paris look and be present in the audience at least 20 minutes before the show, allowing the jury to select the winners before the runway came alive.




FASHION as a LOVE POTION
24 Supermodels in Seductive Mode

Then the spotlights shifted from the audience to the runway, where 24 supermodels presented their best LUXE Paris looks to seduce! There was the femme fatale, the diplomat, the libertine, the gentleman of the night, the extrovert... and more. The LUXE Paris models overflowed with imagination and took command of the stage with extraordinary presence, in a captivating choreography by Eyema Straaf-Hooly Lionheart.




The second part of the show was just as exciting, featuring the world premiere of LUXE Paris's new Beachwear collection. More than twenty creations dedicated to the joys of the beach and garden parties culminated in a spectacular finale reminiscent of Baywatch!




Then came the LOOK of the DAY podium, and the winners were revealed. Paris Saint Laurent, winner of LOOK of the DAY, took home L$5,000 in cash, while runners-up Melinda Bayn and Athena Fireheart each received a LUXE Paris gift card worth L$2,000.

In short, the FASHION as a LOVE POTION event, organized by LUXE Paris ambassador Aria Absinthe, was a resounding success, with over 80 attendees leaving with their heads full of beautiful fashion images and the thrill of the experience.

“THE PINK ROOM 2” : A MONIQUE’S GOSSIP STORY SERIES




Hey Second Life Babes, this is your girl Moniques coming to you with Part 2 of our drama filled story "The Pink Room”. 

LINK TO PART 1: 

“THE PINK ROOM” : A MONIQUE’S GOSSIP STORY SERIES ~ The SL Enquirer Warning: Mature Audiences Only. 

LAST TIME ON THE PINK ROOM … 

In the virtual world of SecondLife, Monique navigates a world of mystery and unexpected twists. When Monique introduces her two friends Ron, the gentlemanly Night Club owner from Germany and Joan, the nice American girl next door. Their undeniable chemistry led them to become an SL couple.Their fast-lit relationship comes to a halt when Joan takes a one week break from Second Life. 

During Joan’s absence, Monigue notices a mysterious new avatar lingering at Ron’s club named Emerie. Intrigued, Monique finds out Emerie’s identity and that discovery leads Monique to The Pink Room, a strange and secretive place that raises more questions than answers. 

Monique begins to uncover unsettling details that leave her questioning the truth about Ron and Joan’s relationship. In a web of complicated secrets, the drama unfolds, pulling Monique in a situation where she is in a tough spot. She is torn between revealing the truth to Joan or keeping the secrets she’s uncovered, that if revealed, could change everything! 

Read Part 1 for the details … 

THE CONFRONTATION 

I saw Ron appear online. 

That is when I knew all Hell was about to break loose.

“I am definitely going to confront him.” Joan firmly stated. 

All 3 of us teleported to the Club (Joan, Tina and I). 

Joan wasted no time confronting Ron. As soon as she Rezzed she walked towards him. 

“What did you do yesterday?” Joan asked Ron. “I was here?” he answered apprehensively. Ron was definitely caught off guard. 

“Doing what?” Joan asked bluntly. 

“I was here, at the Sim, I was here at the club.” Ron answered frantically. 

“Here at the club making out and cheating on me with your fake fucking teen daughter!?” Joan cried. Joan yelled to the point where the high volume distorted her audio. 

Then there was an awkward silence. The silence was the longest 8 seconds I have ever heard. There were 4 avatars a few meters away from the club and even they stopped talking, probably to listen in on the drama. 

Joan, Tina and I all stood there in formation staring at Ron for an answer. “Making out with what daughter?” Ron replied awkwardly. “I wasn’t making out with anyone.” “Look Ron, I saw you!” Tina butted in, “And you told Monique that girl was your daughter.” “That is true, he did tell me that. “ I confirmed. 

There was a brief silence. 

“Well, if you are going to be a Cunt about it, here is what I think!” Ron exclaimed. BOOM! 

My feet were in the ocean and I was unable to get back to The Club because of yellow Boundary Lines. I was shocked, I have never heard Ron yell let alone even cuss. 

His gentleman image cracked. 

THE CIRCLE OF GOSSIP 

The three of us girls regrouped at Tina’s house.

There was hot steaming tea and chocolate chip cookies on the coffee table but everyone was holding large wine glasses. Two other of our friends showed up and we sat there in our little circle of gossip. 

We had come to the conclusion that Ron felt embarrassed and ganged up on and that was the reason he kicked us off the land. Ron disappointed me, my expectation for him was to handle the situation more maturely. I checked my Friends List and Ron didn’t delete me, surprisingly. 

Joan informed us that she and Ron were planning to meet up in real life. She said that they would stay up late talking all night for hours. Ron had a Passport and owned his own successful business where he could schedule time off to meet her. Joan lived with her 19 year old daughter and she was also a grandmother to her daughter’s 1 year old baby girl. 

“Look, I fell in love with Ron and I trusted him. But if he is cheating on me in Second Life and he has a teen daughter fetish or into pedophilia, I definitely can NOT trust him around my kids.” Joan stated sternly. Everyone in the circle collectively agreed. No man was worth the risk. 

There was a wash of relief that came over me. I wasn't originally aware Joan and Ron were that serious about their relationship. To me, it was all a SL fling. I got to keep the Pink Room Secret while Joan still kept her family safe. I wouldn’t have to live with the regret of not telling Joan the secret, then finding out later that Ron did something heinous to her family. 

Side note, in case you were wondering why I kept the secret, here it is… 

Number one Ron was a good friend, he showed me the room in confidence. Secondly, when I was presented with “The Pink Room” there was no hard evidence that he was using the room to have sex with Emerie, even though my gut feeling was telling me that he did. And lastly, Second Life was a fantasy world where people had the opportunity to explore their fantasies, desires and kinks. If Ron was doing that with another consenting adult privately, who was I to expose him for that? Me leaking that kind of information could be very damaging to his reputation. So, before I made any decisions regarding The Pink Room, I definitely wanted to speak to Ron one on one for him to at least get the chance to explain his side of the story first. 

The circle of gossip lasted for over 3 hours. The girls all agreed on one thing, Joan meeting Ron in real life was off the table, even if they were great together. Joan just wasn’t going to risk it. 

“I will message him tomorrow and just let him know I’m done.” Joan said. That night I turned off SL with a wash of relief. 

THE BREAK UP

A few days drifted by and it was quiet. And based on the drama that occurred a few days before, I felt it was a little too quiet. I reached out to Tina in her Inbox, she was closer to Joan than I was. 

Monique: Did Joan officially break it off with Ron did you hear anything?

Tina: She did, but Ron is not taking it well 

Monique: Sad, but it was for the best I think 

Tina: Yeah well, Ron is threatening suicide now cause he refuses to live without her. Monique: You’re kidding, that's really sad. They weren't dating that long lol Tina: Nope lol 

Initially, I felt bad for Ron, but then I wondered, were the suicide threats just to gain control? He always wore authority uniforms, owned a BDSM club and his teen daughter fetish were all aspects of power and control dynamics. When Ron lost control, he ejected everyone. Perhaps Ron wasn't the nice gentleman I thought he was. 

THE TRUTH ABOUT EMERIE 

A few more days passed, I wanted to finally get a hold of Ron. I mentally prepared myself and messaged him a simple “Hi”.This might sound silly, but I wanted closure on his true character. He replied with a quick teleport to his club. 

When I arrived, he was standing by the bar alone, wearing a white Sea Captain's uniform. 

I didn’t want to be confrontational, so I simply said, “Ron, I heard that you and Joan are no longer together, how are you doing?” 

Ron said, “ I understand why she was upset, but we had an entire future planned out. I was going to take a month off work and see her,” Ron said sadly. 

I empathized, Ron honestly seemed to care at that moment. I decided it was time to push the boundary and I said, “Ron if you cared about her so much, why did you cheat on her with that Emerie girl?” 

Ron’s voice went slightly higher pitched, offended, “I did not cheat on her, Emerie is my Second Life daughter. That is not what happened! I will bring her here, ask her yourself!” he cried. 

I did not believe Ron entirely, but I did agree to meet with Emerie. In a few moments, Emerie arrived and once again she sat in the chair in the corner. 

Ron then said, “Go talk to her, ask her anything you want, I have to go AFK.” Ron then went silent. So I did what Ron insisted and walked towards Emerie.

Monique: Hey Emerie! How have you been? I don’t know if you are aware of what has been happening. 

Emerie: Hi, yah I know. Hehe 

Monique: I know this might be a bit personal, but are you Ron’s daughter or are you two dating? 

Emerie: Yah, No he’s my Dad. 

Monique: Ok, someone told Ron’s Ex-GF that you were making out… Emerie: yahhh crazy hehe, Ron is my Second Life Dad, no making out hehe, not dating Monique: It is, are you from the United States out of curiosity? 

Emerie: yah, I am from Michigan. I went to MSU hehe 

I stopped typing for a moment, something was off in my gut. 

My instincts told me to pull up my former messages with Ron. 

It was full of:'Yahhs’, ‘hehes’ and ‘yah crazy’. Ron also said a high pitched yah in a German accent very often verbally over microphone. 

It dawned on me…OMG Emrie is Ron’s Alt Account! I am literally typing to Ron. Girls from America do not type “Yah” like that! This would explain why Ron and Emerie were never present to talk at the same time or one of them was always AFK or gone. 

Damn, what should I do now? I thought. 

Now I am met with another dilemma, should I ask Emerie if she is Ron? And if she answers yes, should I tell Joan and the gang? 

How can I handle another messed up secret? 

And was Ron intimate with Emerie as himself in “The Pink Room”? 

What should I ask next? 

Cue Dramatic Music… 

To be continued… 

Stay Tuned for Part 3…

CHIPPER CARVER – SLE OPEN MIC WINNER FOR MAR 2026 – JOSH (THOMAS1 BELLIC), REPORTING


One of the many ways that SecondLife Enquirer contributes to the vibrant life on the Grid is to identify up-and-coming musicians through the monthly SL Enquirer Singer Songwriter Open Mic competitions. Up and coming, as well as established musicians across the grid compete for a L$5,000 prize, along with the promotional value of being featured in the SL Enquirer, with our QUARTER MILLION views each month!  This month’s winner, Chipper Carver, managed to impress our judges and walked away with the top prize.  I was able to catch up with Chipper, who is naturally shy by nature, and managed to get him to answer a few questions for our SLE Readers.

Josh (Thomas1 Bellic) (JB):     So tell us, Chipper… How long have you been performing your music, and in what types of venues?

Chipper Carver (CC):     I have played guitar and sung for many years, but the vast majority of that was just for myself and occasionally for family. I had a two-person garage band back in high school.  We had cheap equipment and a handful of Beatles tunes we tried.  Then I got on with living life and only picked up the guitar now and then.  Fifteen years ago, or so, I started playing a lot more, but still for my own enjoyment and sometimes with a group of friends in a circle.  Around five years ago, I started joining open mics here in Second Life and muscled my way through audience anxiety and lots of mistakes.  Eventually, I must have gotten a little better because venues started offering me gigs.  I have played gigs at various venues like The Merry Prankster, Cafe Kismet, Blarney Stone, Pirette's Music Cove, Guthrie's Folk Club.  I've also enjoyed playing for protest rallies because music has an important place in the fight for democracy.

JB:     What is your favorite Musical Genre?

CC:     I have very eclectic musical tastes including Folk (Don't Think Twice, Circles, Can't Help Wondering Where I'm Bound), Pop (American Pie, Dream a Little Dream of Me, Good Time Charlie's Got the Blues, The Boxer) , Rock {Sister Golden Hair, Take it Easy, I've Just Seen a Face),  Country (Gentle on My Mind, Me and Bobbie McGee, King of the Road).   People might not agree with my classification there. I just care more about it being a good song than what genre it's in.   

I was also a teen and young adult in the 70's, so I love music from the 60's and 70's. 

JB:     Do you perform in RL as well?

CC:     I've played in some guitar circles and open mics.  I am a poster child for introversion so promoting myself isn't at the top of my list. 

JB:     What has been the most memorable performance of your career so far?

CC:     I performed at an open mic in a brewery in McKinney Texas.  I was playing the Bob Dylan classic, “You Ain’t Going Nowhere”.  A fellow performer jumped up and joined in the chorus, but he didn't know the song that well and it went horribly and we botched the whole thing!  I was relieved we were in a brewery.

JB:     Who were your musical idols and those who have been the greatest influencers of your musical style?

CC:     Oh, the list is long, and I won't include them all here, but probably in order:  Glen Campbell's musicality on guitar and with his voice made him an extraordinary crossover talent.  John Denver's writing and performance spanned ballads, social issues, down home fun. The Beatles - What can you say?  Nothing about them I didn't like.  Eagles and America were so emblematic of youth in the 1970's.   Gordon Lightfoot was among the best singer-songwriters ever and was so revered in his native Canada (John Prine called him his hero), Pete Seeger, in addition to his encyclopedic knowledge of world folk music, was a great and courageous American. And John Prine...well if you don't know him, go find his music.  If you don't admire his humor and awareness, I'm not sure what to say...  But there were many more.

JB:     What has been your biggest challenge breaking into the Music Industry?

CC:     When my family was living in Germany in the 1960's, my sister saved up some money and we walked to a German department store where she had her eye on a guitar.  She bought the guitar and it was her pride and joy. When I wanted to borrow it to learn how to play, she didn't hesitate.  I bought a book of Beatles songs with a chord chart in the back and slogged through teaching myself how to play.  I never took lessons, which was a huge mistake (if you're learning, take lessons).  From there, I had a series of progressively better guitars.  But I am not an attention seeker (this interview is awkward).  So most of my playing has been for my own private enjoyment.  It wasn't until Second Life that a friend coaxed me into playing in an open mic.  It wasn't a disaster, so I kept at it, and now it feels pretty comfortable.  As for breaking into the music industry, I'm not sure I've actually done that.

JB:     How would you describe the brand that you now represent?

CC:     The perfect combination of song variety and mistakes.  I also dabble in songwriting.  My favorite original is “I've Got a Fabulous Watchdog” which can be heard on Sound Cloud.   I have a wonderful dog named Maple, and I noticed one day that she almost always sits and watches me play and sing.   The song just popped into my head and I had it written in under an hour.  If they were always so easy!

JB:     Where would our SL readers go who want to hear you live and in concert?

CC:     Currently, I am performing at  Pirette's Music Cove every other Saturday and The Blarney Stone every other Thursday.  I am also listed in the SL Live Music schedule, so you can find me there. Come check it out.

JB:     Do you have any Social Media Sites out there where readers can learn more about you?

CC:     I don't.  Humanity isn't ready for social media, and it's eating our lunch. But I would love for you to join my group.  Just give me a shout and I'll add you.

JB:     Chipper, there are lots of budding musicians in SecondLife.  What advice would you give to any aspiring musicians out there today?

CC:     Find open mics to play and don't be afraid to ask for help.  The streaming mechanics can be daunting at first, but it's really not so hard.  Don't be afraid to perform. There are people performing at all skill levels doing it.


So there you have it, folks.  Nobody has said it better. You really do need to catch this guy’s act.  He really is quite amazing. Go check him out at Pirette's Music Cove, or at The Blarney Stone.  You’ll be glad ya did.

And when you do, tell ‘em “Josh sent ya”

Be there!  Aloha!

JB

Introducing ღ亗Dяєѕι ℓιgαтι亗ღ (dresella.joubert); New Events Coordinator for XRadio, a Worldwide Superstation- Lanai Jarrico Reporting…






If you don’t know…You'd better ask somebody!   XRadio, the Worldwide Superstation, is an internet radio freeform music station streaming live at XRADIO.ZONE is popular in virtual worlds like Second Life. The forty-meter Tower of Power spreads its signal throughout the metaverse. Auto DJ programming includes rock, rap, rave, and remixes. For more information, visit XRadio.Zone. With that said, let's turn our attention to Dresi; XRadio’s new Events Coordinator. She may be new to XRadio, but she isn’t new to Second Life. With over 18 years of virtual world and owner of  Biology Club for over a decade, Dresi brings expert event knowledge to the airwaves.  The SL Enquirer caught up with Dresi for a chat.



Interview with  ღ亗Dяєѕι ℓιgαтι亗ღ (dresella.joubert)


Lanai: Hey Dresi, it’s been a while, how are you?


ღ亗Dяєѕι ℓιgαтι亗ღ (dresella.joubert):  Hey Lanai!  It sure has been a minute.  It’s great to reconnect with you.



Lanai: Likewise! Before we get all into this very exciting news,  can you tell our readers a little bit about your experience in Second Life?


ღ亗Dяєѕι ℓιgαтι亗ღ (dresella.joubert):  Oh gosh… So much in 18 years.  I started in the club business as a host almost immediately after joining SL, realizing that I was going to need some income to do anything.  After having learned how clubs work in SL, I opened my first club.  I was owner or part-owner of several successful clubs, beginning with Prohibition, Xtinction, Safari Club and all of that led me to my club of the past 10 years, Biology Club.  About 4 years ago, I was approached by Ennie Minotaur (enya.footman), Station Manager at XRadio, and asked if I was interested in being a station DJ.  I jumped at the opportunity, and it has been one of the best experiences of my SL and my RL.  This opportunity catapulted me into a RL DJ business as well!



Lanai: I’m so excited for you! With the Biology Club being a staple venue in the Second Life community, what have you learned to keep the crowds coming?


ღ亗Dяєѕι ℓιgαтι亗ღ (dresella.joubert):  Oh it’s quite an ebb and flow in the club business but, in general, consistency, longevity, and always looking for new, interesting engagements for our guests.

Lanai: It’s working for you, girl. So.. A little virtual birdie told me you are now the new events coordinator for XRadio! That’s so exciting. XRadio has been around a long time and has a big following across the metaverse. How did this opportunity come about?


ღ亗Dяєѕι ℓιgαтι亗ღ (dresella.joubert):  Yes!  This is something that I am so excited about.  Station owners, Jude Connors and Darkmantle made an executive decision to push the station in the direction of “doing good” and giving back to the community at large.  Given my experiences working with Rock Your Rack, Multiverse Fair, and Relay for Life, as well as my years of planning and executing successful events for my clubs, they felt I would be a good fit in a management role with the station as its Events Coordinator.  Jude approached me with the idea and I was honored to have been selected for the role.


Lanai: They chose wisely. In my years of knowing you., you’ve been a professional in your field and a driving force in virtual world venue entertainment.  With you as the New face of Events for XRadio, what can the SL Community expect?


ღ亗Dяєѕι ℓιgαтι亗ღ (dresella.joubert):  Well, I’m so happy you asked this!  XRadio has an INCREDIBLE Affiliate program that offers a good many opportunities and benefits for venues across the SL grid who play XRadio when they are not engaged in an event.  Benefits such as ad production and airtime, XRadio kiosk with a variety of useful tools for venue support, and - here is where I come into the fold - roaming events at our affiliate venues with XRadio DJs, event promotion and production with full coverage of each event being broadcast live on XRadio.  You can also expect to see XRadio in a more visible role in such charities as Beats for Humanity - our upcoming keystone event to benefit the International Red Cross and Rock Your Rack, Jamee Sandalwood’s fall event to benefit the National Breast Cancer Foundation.  XRadio will also host various major holiday events as well.





Lanai: I love that you all engage in Charities to help those in need of life saving support, even from a virtual world.  Tell our readers about the upcoming charity event for the International Red Cross. 



ღ亗Dяєѕι ℓιgαтι亗ღ (dresella.joubert):  We are so incredibly excited about our upcoming collaboration with the International Red Cross!  As the WORLDWIDE SUPERSTATION, XRadio wanted to make sure that we were doing good globally and the International Red Cross was the perfect charitable partner for us to collaborate with.  The event is taking place May 8-10 on the beautiful Solstice Isle, home of the XRadio headquarters.  We will have a website that you can visit to make donations and kiosks across the event venue where donations can be made.  We will have vendor booths available for rent, a stage area for our musical events, and we will offer promotional packages for our sponsors.  100% of all event management and staff, vendor packages and benefits, and kiosk donations will go DIRECTLY to support the International Red Cross.   REACH OUT TO DRESI LIGATI (dresella.joubert) in world or in Discord (@dresiligati) or via email (djdresi@gmail.com) if you are interested in SPONSORSHIP PACKAGES OR BOOTH RENTALS!

Lanai: Where can Second Lifers find out about this and the other events you set up?



ღ亗Dяєѕι ℓιgαтι亗ღ (dresella.joubert):  We will broadcast them on our station, XRadio.zone, in our Discord Server (http://discord.xradio.zone/), in our Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/search/top?q=xradio) , in our XRadio group (secondlife:///app/group/81bb86c4-1cc3-0afc-547e-6dd92e1039fb/about)  in world, as well as in the Biology Club groups - inworld (secondlife:///app/group/3d42ad19-fc0a-f717-eeaa-c37072c88328/about) , on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/groups/BiologyClubSL/) and in Discord (https://discord.gg/7CHBAMxvJ).



Lanai: Thank you for sharing all those outlets to learn more about your events. How can Venues be a part of XRadio?


ღ亗Dяєѕι ℓιgαтι亗ღ (dresella.joubert):  Venues AND interested DJ personalities can go to the XRadio website at XRadio.zone and complete the application for Venue or DJ, respectively.  You will be contacted by our station manager, Ennie Minotaur (enya.footman), and she will guide interested parties through the process.



Lanai: That sounds simple enough. Is there an in-world group SL residents and venue owners can join for up-to-date XRadio events?


ღ亗Dяєѕι ℓιgαтι亗ღ (dresella.joubert):  yes, indeed!  Search for XRadio inworld and join the group OR visit the XRadio Headquarters inworld (http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Solstice%20Isle/158/150/25) and tap the Group Joiner.


Lanai: Readers, make sure you drop by and check it out, join, and be part of this movement across the metaverse! Dresi, is there anything else you’d like to share with our readers?


ღ亗Dяєѕι ℓιgαтι亗ღ (dresella.joubert):  Actually, yes.  I want everyone to know that if they have ideas or information about anything that they would like us to develop into an XRadio event, charity or otherwise, or if they think they might want to collaborate with XRadio on an event or occasion, they can reach out to me inworld (dresella.joubert) or in Facebook (Dresi Ligati) or in Discord (@dresiligati).  I can’t wait to hear what events you would like to see XRadio producing!


Lanai: Dresi, it’s been a pleasure sharing this exciting news with our readers. I look forward to what you bring to the table for 2026 and beyond!
