Staff Reporter • Thursday, June 03, 2010

It seems a bit presumptuous to call someone an ‘old timer’ when they are a mere 32 years young and extremely beautiful their real life, but Lanai Jarrico is one of the original pioneers of the now vast Second Life media circuit. She’s just celebrated her fifth rezz day which coincides with the fifth birthday of her long running and much loved newspaper ‘The Second Life Enquirer’ which she brought to SL after its initial conception in another virtual world.

Each week over the past five years, ‘The Second Life Enquirer’ has reported on all aspects of SL and the numerous activities of its millions of residents ;consistently building a solid reputation as the paper that is always first with breaking news. In its long history, SLE (as it’s known affectionately by all its readers) has reported on both the humorous-and tragic, and has also been responsible for some serious investigations into the more shady side of our virtual community, helping to expose real life criminals and griefers alike.

On Saturday May 8, 2010. I was invited to attend “Alice in WonderSland”, a production put together in SL by the Avatar Repertory Theater.
It's definitely a MUST SEE from start to finish for those into the performing arts. Everything from receiving my ticket, falling down a rabbit hole and feeling like I was seated at the Mad Hatter's Tea Party, til it was all said and done. I was at the edge of my seat. It was well put together perfectly and the cast delivered a fantastic performance that captured my imagination. Despite having a griefer show up, That only meant, this crew is doing something right. 




After Receiving my ticket and NC of instructions, I teleported to the entrance where I was greeted by Art Usher JadaBright Pond. I handed him my ticket and was lead to a giant wooden door.
Intrigued I teleporting to a dark shadowy domed room . A spotlight was shining against a worn black and white checkered floor with seating for the audience built right into the scene.

The first scene started in the woods where Alice begins her wondrous adventure. She spots a white rabbit and curiously follows him into his hole where she falls for what feels like an eternity, landing at the bottom looking at many doors. One being very small...

Lanai's Diary: 5 YEARS LATER. Lanai Jarrico Reporting...

Staff Reporter • Monday, May 17, 2010

I literally woke up one day back in October of 2004 and decided I needed to be a virtual world journalist because I wanted to write about what was going on. Also to throw a little salt on the issues that lingered in that primitive virtual culture..

Moving the paper to Second Life from The SIMS Online in 2005 during the great TSO migration, I just continuing what I was doing and ended up on the throne this past week celebrating a milestone while waving like a drama queen in a popularity contest. But I'm not complaining...

5 Years later, not much has changed with my delusions of grandeur except for tons more readers to the newspaper, loads of inquiries and a host of creative friends who share this same shameless virtual world addiction.

On Mother's Day, (May 9th) my avie turned 5 and I didn't even log into SL. I pretty much let it slip by like all the other years. Except, this year it happened to be a real holiday and I happened to be dining out of town and celebrating with my RL family. After logging in the next day I got to talking to Sir Brennen and mentioned never having a Rezzday party....

SPOTLIGHT FEATURE: Steve Beck- The Model Maker- Persia Bravin Reporting...

Monday, May 17, 2010-

Ask any woman in Second Life what her most treasured possession held in inventory is and chances are it won’t be the extensive collection of shoes, love letters from ardent suitors or even special photographs, but something far more basic, yet central to a woman’s identity-her shape.

In our virtual world, the shape you choose to wear gives reveals vital clues about our real life tastes far more than any other accessory. It is ultimately what defines how others see us, reflecting how we want to appear in our pixilated world. There are thousands of shape designers in Second Life and as a keen social observer (ok-nosy journalist) I can now enter a room and after a quick scan, match shapes to designers in seconds. While the majority of shape makers stick to producing wave upon wave of standardized variants on your typical ‘model’ silhouette, one man has very cleverly, used real life scientific research into what constitutes classical ‘beauty’ and transferred it into SL to produce a breathtakingly beautiful selection of shapes.

SPOTLIGHT FEATURE- A Mother on a Mission. Project Jason & Garden for the Missing ~Lanai Jarrico Reporting...

Staff Reporter • Monday, May 10, 2010

Virtual worlds can be viewed as a time consuming “game” to many who have never experienced what an international community can achieve while working together. But according to 51% of our readers. Second Life is an extension of their real life.

There are still those people in our real world who are ignorant to this new social networking generation and are quick to pass judgment before realizing Second life is much more than a video game or waste of time.

As a virtual journalist, I view this platform as an ingenious media tool. With access to countless resources and networking communities all over the world.

The ability to help pass along news has always been my way of bringing awareness to many fundraisers, organizations and resources that help people or, at least try to influence others to be a part of some of the great and well known Humanitarian efforts in the world.

From The Red Cross, The American Cancer Society’s “Relay for Life', West of Ireland's “War Child”, Toys for Tots to Project Jason.

According to reports by organizations across the country, there are over 2,300 people reported missing daily and over 900,000 cases a year. The majority being adults with close to half of those being juveniles under the age of eighteen. These numbers have rapidly increased from 25 years ago when numbers averaged roughly 150,000 annually.

These numbers are staggering and leave many families and loved ones to wonder, Where can these missing people be?

Feeling helpless, many stop there, but for the loved ones it is a daily struggle with unanswered questions, hopes of recovering their family member, and beginning to heal.

These heartbreaking stories play on for many around the world. These people need our help and support. 

How can We Help? Let's begin with one mother who has been on her mission since June 13, 2001.

Staff Reporter • Monday, April 26, 2010

Lanai's Diary- Entry- 4.26.2010

I have to begin this entry Thanking my sidekick organizer “O” . I won't say his full name after the whole Easter bunny incident because I think it made him camera shy.

Anyways, Him and the family, held down the SLE camp while I was gone with my powercord issues.
So before I ramble on. They needed to get some props. Love you guys, thank you!


Wow where do I begin, a lot has been going on since getting my new power cord. OMG and thank goodness internet withdrawals are no joke. I almost picked up a gambling addiction and cigarette habit.

Stepping back into the SL media circus even after 4 days felt like trying to hop on a treadmill as it's rolling full speed ahead. My drive to continue on this creative journey has turned me into an admitted Avie with OCD and ADHD. But who needs meds when I kinda manage to get back on track because of it. Even if I look a hotmess holding my tiara and sprinting in glass slippers.

Staff Reporter • Monday, April 12, 2010

Virtually speaking some really don't understand the stresses that occur behind the scene in building a virtual world media empire until they try squeezing their feet into my glass slippers and even then good luck making them fit. Many have walked away from the attempt of creating a virtual newspaper, magazine or blog within just months of launch due to time to invest, the fast paced nature and high demand situations we journalists, editors and publishers constantly place ourselves in.

Sequence of events

Staff Reporter • Monday, March 29, 2010

Please use caution when doing your Spring decorating this season or something like this can happen to you too...

On Sunday while sprucing up the media center for Spring I decided to dig thru my inventory for some butterflies to add to the place.

Locating a mystery box simply named “BUTTERFLYS” I snatched it from inventory and drop it to the ground. All of a sudden a swarm of butterflies were forming a giant particle halo around the center...

Some butterflies had peace signs in there wings and others in a joyous colorful displays big and small.

Immediately I was overwhelmed and could no longer stand to see this or risk going into a virtual panic attack or worse some sort of graphics seizure the XBOX warns gamers about.

In the Spotlight: Model/Host-Manager Jovial Jewell talks about her modeling work and being a Host-Manager at Bella Vida Velvet Jazz Lounge



Today’s SL Enquirer Spotlight falls on nearly-three year old avatar Jovial Jewell, who spoke this afternoon/evening with SLE staff reporter Ramon Federal about her two SL careers, one as a high-fashion model and one as Host-Manager of Bella Vida Velvet Jazz Lounge.

Jovial, who sat for her interview in a flowing white dress, was trained by Ewing Modeling School, where she “learned…about styling my outfits and how to walk the runway,” and has also been an instructor there. “I have been in many shows for designers like Chez Gabrielle and Fierce Designs. Also Hotlala Designs.” 

Being a model in Second Life is very satisfying for Jovial. Asked what she likes best about the work, she said, “I love the fashion industry, love the fashion industry. I've always wanted to be a model in RL, so this lets me live that out a bit.” She also mentioned that she usually gets to keep the clothes she models, no small perk when working for the designers she has.
