SL ARTS & LITERATURE: The Martians Invade! to Benefit Susan G. Komen and Breast Cancer Research

Halloween is coming and Seanchai Library is getting into the spirit of the season, planning to raise some hairs, chill some bones and tingle some spines with a special production of War of the Worlds radio play written by Howard Koch and made famous by Orson Welles and the Mercury Theatre On The Air in October of 1938.Welles created mass hysteria with a production that mixed news reports and radio programming, voiced by skilled actors, to replicate the events H.G. Wells wrote about in his 1898 novel. The Seanchai Library will be presenting War of the Worlds in three public performances on the grid October 22nd through 26th, with guests invited to join the Seanchai Library in supporting Susan G. Komen for the Cure.

Dirty Virtual Business Part 2- What avatars are saying about virtual businesses in Second Life- The SLE Business Survey




Last week I wrote an article about Business in Second Life©, mainly from my perspective being involved and observing how others conduct business. I sent out a survey through the SL Enquirer Media group and listed some questions in Part one for readers. The responses were interesting.



A lot of the times I hear that time zones and availability seem to be the hardest thing to overcome when trying to build an active staff on an international platform. The other complaint is that Second Life is still a very unstable business platform due to the lag and crashing. These virtual world natural disasters like the ones described can really disrupt business and can cause people to lose faith in Second Life to help them sustain an income they can count on.

FASHION NEWS: Designer Dossier : Dashwood Muircastle


Dashwood arrived in Second Life in 2008, she says the Universe was telling her something when first her mother suggested that she have a look at SL, then it was featured in an episode of CSI:NY and finally a friend watched a programme on MSNBC on SL – she had no choice now did she?
Dashwood came to SL with the intention of creating fashion and intending to sell her designs. But like all of us she had much to learn about SL before she did that. Her first day in SL was just like anyone else’s she reckons possibly even worse, she says “I could barely control my avatars movements let alone change my clothes - so it was a long road to being able to create my own designs.”
After literally "GOOGLING" "How to create clothing in SL" Dashwood began learning.... She quips “I opened up a tiny shop on a small mainland plot - and watched as NO ONE came. But I kept making clothing. Then I attended (in RL) SLCC in 2009 and that sort of changed things... I began to change my product a bit and really FOCUS my designs to my personal point of view and here we are. We moved the store to this larger area last Winter and have since expanded the Bridal Line, launched a line for Girls and now have a JUST for Bridesmaids line of much more RL style Bridesmaid dresses in a selection of colors - which are customizable upon request.” The DASHWOOD ~Collection~ specialises in Trendy/Elegant, Classic with a twist and "Girly" or "Sweet" designs.

SWAN Ballet at The SL Enquirer Media Center @12 Noon Saturday October 15th



Come join in a magical presentation of story, music, and dance . . .
With Swan the Independent Ballet Company weaves together the magic of original choreography with classical/ fusion music, live storytelling of an original story written especially for the piece, performed against a backdrop of original SL art. The story explores the conflict of the quest for power and knowledge with the wisdom of the natural world as one man attempts to find out the secrets of a group of ancient magical beings - swans. There is a lake and there are swans, but this is NOT Swan Lake!


PRESENTED: Story In Voice, Music in Stream
ADMISSION: Free, tips accepted
CONTENT: Traditional Telling, Theatre, Dance



What audiences are saying about SWAN:

"It really is the most technically accomplished performance I've ever seen. Believe me it makes a difference"

"It was loads of fun . . . It's very well done indeed."

"Amazingliy realistic - Bravo! Oh - it was so beautiful. I sometimes had to look twice - to see if it was RL"

"Stunning choice of programme… thank you ㋡"

"I didn't know this kind of dance was possilbe in SL"!

"That was very very beautifull ... well done ...XXX"

"I was mesmerized by the realism of this ballet. I've never seen anything quite like it"

"Was spectacular, never imagined something performed in sl would be so beautiful"

SL ARTS & LITERATURE: Samhain Festival 2011 Benefits the Make A Wish Foundation

Once more, the old year turns. The new world comes. Samhain is the end of the natural year and the birth of the new, a time to release the past and prepare for the future. Once again, we are celebrating this time with a month of live music, literary events, exhibits, vendors, freebie hunts, story telling and themed dances.  Fox Ravenheart and Serene Bechir (aka The Wild Roving Foxes), who brought the grid last December’s atmospheric Yule Festival have done it again with Samhain Festival 2011 which began October 3rd and continues through the end of the month in Talisman.  This is the Second Samhain Festival they have presented, with all donations from this year’s event benefiting the Make A Wish Foundationhttp://slurl.com/secondlife/Talisman/28/182/22

From the Desk of Dragonheart Spiritweaver- Imagine Magazine


It seems no matter where you turn these days, there are negatives. We all spend a lot of time focusing on what isn’t going right, even dwell on it. Not me. *cough* Heh, but if you do it the other way around, and focus on what is good, what feels right, things seem to just flow better. Not to say that you don’t get knocked upside the head at times with truths you’d be happy not to have experienced, but it does take the ‘edge’ off the sadness and slows the cycle of despair down a notch or two. Let’s face it, evolution is painful and what I have been observing is unsettling around the grid.

 First, there has been a mass exodus of creative people from SL at an alarming rate or who are downsizing their operations drastically. The land barons are turning back in “grandfathered” real estate with ‘fully rented’ Sims in their advertisements. And vendors are giving back their land deferring to Marketplace to sell their wares to reduce tier costs. More and more a person can get around SL without spending any lindens at all. Unfortunately, those are not good trends. And the live music venues that need the extra income aren’t getting it because the sims that were surrounded with shops seem to be dwindling with the inclination of SL residents to be online using online access to shop.

Dirty Virtual Business. How do you see virtual world business? Part One- Do the survey! Lanai Jarrico Reporting...



Back in 2005 when I rezzed into Second Life©, it was a relatively new frontier for “Noobs” to explore. Many avatars fresh out of beta testing spread out across the grid finding their own creative outlets and building businesses. The fact that there was an in world currency (Lindens) with real monetary value and ability to convert and transfer into electronic banking accounts like PayPal, it became an obsession for many that dreamed of making an actual living in a virtual world.

It is not an impossible goal to have because Second Life did made some Millionaires but it wasn’t without their preexisting knowledge and skills along with the time, patience and persistence to succeed.

In the Know with Clothing Designer Caelia Bellic

There are many things I like to do in-world, but two that stand out are perform and find hot clothes to wear. As a part of the group Unity Productions, I'm able to do both in our latest production, The Misfits. Not only do I get to dance and strut my stuff on the stage, but I'm also able to wear the grunge-tastic wares of clothing designer Caelia Bellic, owner of Cae.B designs. I was a fan of Cae's clothing before the production, and have spent time with a friend going to Cae's mainstore [slurl] and waxing philosophically about the artistry of Cae's designs. How much do I dig Cae's grunge couture? There is a folder in my invy marked "ALL CAE.B." And it's stocked!

As a lover of Caelia Bellic's clothing, I sought her out to ask a few questions about what inspires her to design her wares...among other things. And she graciously replied...



Duche de Coeur and the Academie Royale de Musique. Mehseti Resident Reporting…









 Have you ever visited a sim that opened you up to a virtual experience of your real life dreams?


Recently, I visited and was impressed by the Duche de Coeur's Academie Royale de Musique's program at the Duche du Coeurs Languedoc Region. I am now a regular guest at a place where I could imagine my dreams.

Do you want to feel the atmosphere of France in the last half of the 18th century?” If you said yes, then put on your best gown and visit the Duche de Coeur's 14 regions. You won't regret it.

Many creators try to incorporate real life into their creations. But the creators of the Duché de Coeur, Bedrich Panacek, SkyeRyder Varriale and TatianaDokuchic Varriale achieved their goal. The splendor of the sims' architecture conveys a sense of high-society and royalty.

Venue Review: Rockers Nightclub rocks its Roadies!! Shay Dalek Reporting...

 
 
August 20th was certainly a night to remember, that was the night Rockers Nightclub closed its doors on its former sim to reopen at a brand new location. Let me say, if you have ever been to the old Rockers, the new location is absolutely incredible. Roadies had been teased for weeks about the upcoming move and the build was kept strictly out of prying eyes. The anticipation was enough to make a grown man squeal and when the evening finally came around, Roadies descended upon its new club in droves.

SPOTLIGHT FEATURE-Move over Bunnies and Horses, a new technology is in town. From the creators of Shark Club Gaming comes a new concept in virtual world technology; Buildables. Lanai Jarrico Reporting…





Lanai: Batrastard, thank you for taking the time out to show me this very interesting project you have been working on. With beta in its final phase, it is time to let the robot out of the bag and introduce SLE readers to "Buildables". You have teleported me to the secret location on a couple of occasions and I got to browse the collection.  I must say, this new concept is very impressive. I can’t wait to see them hit the market and in the hands of many avatars across the grid.  When will they be available to avatars?



 Batrastard: Thank you so much for the compliment!  And on behalf of the whole "Sharkclub" team, it is much appreciated!   Beta is planned to end on Sat. Sept. 24th.  Then we will take a couple days to get some last minute things in order, set up vendors, and such, than open the sim to the public on Wed. Sept. 28th!  We might take an extra day, so don't hold it against me if we have to open on the 29th!
