Celtic Connection Production: music with identity - Glossom Resident Reporting…


Not long ago we were celebrating St. Patrick's Day, jiggling and reeling in an Irish style to the sound of traditional Irish music.

But while outsiders listen to it as exotic and captivating music by the traditional instruments used and the “magic” sounds produced by those instruments, Celtic music transcribes many valuable stories that resume the cultural identity and heritage of the Celtic nations: souls abundant of emotions.

Geographically bordered, this music genre, covering a spectrum from pure acoustic folk to folk rock, etc, becomes global in this great little virtual world, bringing communities together to celebrate whatever occasion to the rhythm of the distinctive sound of bagpipes and the vigorous drumming. Better than an energy drink, it will make you dance until you fall off your couch.

To better understand what Celtic music and Connection Production is we have talked with the owners, Brielle Coronet and Rik Xaris, here as CCP, who also own Club Catalyst.

Paramount Playhouse is Moving it's Burlesque-style Shows from Sundays at Noon, sl time, to Fridays at 6 pm sl time!


Paramount Playhouse, which has presented a potpourri of entertainment on Sundays, including live singers, comedy and a play as well as burlesque programs since it's opening in December 2012, will continue to offer live shows and comedy on Sundays. 
 Pathmaker Campbell-MacGregor, part owner of the Paramount, said, "An occasional 'saucy act' might occur on a Sunday from time to time, but overall our Burlesque programs, which we think of as 'Stripping with Style and Class,' will now be performed on Fridays at 6 pm slt."
The first program being performed on a Friday at the Paramount will be "Summer of Love" which will premier on Friday July 12 at 6 pm sl time.  This program will be repeated on Friday July 26 at the same time, and subsequent Burlesque programs and plays will be presented at 6 pm on designated Fridays.

Stop Being Broke in Second Life – Glossom Resident Reporting…



Haven’t you ever secretly wished to come across a virtual millionaire who likes to drop some fat lindens into your account? That would solve your money troubles for a while but it is not likely to happen. Sadly lindens don’t fall from the sky and spending all day long walking down the streets of Second Life looking for some lost coins seems to be a complete waste of time. So how can we stop being broke in Second Life? When easy money is hard to get, hard working money seems to be the easiest call.

Imagine what you could have with some extra lindens: renewing the wardrobe or buying that gorgeous outfit that you have been anxious to get but can’t afford; giving yourself a complete makeover; refurnishing the house or getting a king-sized bed for that huge house that you have been sighing for… Now that I got you motivated, it's time to kick laziness away and to take action on finding a job.

Here are some tips on how to find a job and, above all, how to keep it.

TerryLynn Melody; A Sensational SL Singer- Tea Couturier Reporting…




When you have had a busy day and need to relax and listen to some live music, you don’t have to think twice when you see TerryLynn Melody's name pop up on the Live music section of the SL search.

TerryLynn Meolody to many of her fans is a talented performer that not only sings on stage but also connects with her fans. I was lucky enough to have a chat with Terrylynn and asked her a few questions over a cup of coffee.

Interview with TerryLynn

Pet Peeves in Second Life – Ccoursey Reporting…




What gets under an Avatar’s skin?  When you log in day after day is there something that makes you cringe?  

When you’re exploring Second Life do you have something that makes you want to just pull your hair? 

What irritates people that play Second Life is the question I went to find out.  It seems, everyone had a similar answer that even I can nod and definitely agree with; Griefers.

I have one right now that keeps sending me group notices.  I can’t decline it. I can’t  even block it, and he just repeatedly sends them.  Linden Labs has refused to help even though I’m a premium member. I hate a griefer!

Real-life pictures in Second Life © – Stareyes Galaxy reporting ….

In Second life ©, there is a bifurcation of the attitude to sharing one’s own real-life (RL) pictures. Many avatars are dead against such a practice, saying that SL and RL are two separate entities. Then there are others who freely share their real-life pictures, right on their profile. Furthermore, many design their avatar appearance to match their real-life looks. I interviewed some avatars to get behind the reasoning behind the different views of sharing real-life images.
The question of the day is “Does sharing real-life pictures enhance the fantasy, or kill it?” I met Anastasia at MIAMAI main store, where she works as a model. “It depends,” she answered.

SLE: How, and on what does it “depend"?

Anastasia: First and foremost, it would depend on how well and for how long I have known the person. I am not going to give out RL info or images to just anyone I come across.

SLE: Would you, at a certain point, insist on seeing that other person's RL picture, and would you be willing to share yours?

Anastasia: I don't know that I would insist on sharing RL pictures.  I have known many people in my SL for a year or more and we have never seen a RL pic of each other... With others whom I consider close friends or family I have shared a RL image, and they with me.

SLE: Does seeing someone's RL picture change your perception of that avatar?

Anastasia: I can't say for me personally it has. I get to know the person first and foremost, and I try not to judge a book by its cover.  If in a SL relationship of a romantic nature, it may alter perceptions, as you do get used to someone looking a certain way as an avatar which may differ greatly from their RL person, but the underlying person is still the same either way.

Second Life © Effects on the Real Life of Avatars – Stareyes Galaxy Reporting…



When you go In Second Life © (SL), it is quite clear that the time spent is taken away from one’s real life (RL); this being the minimum effect of SL on RL, what other consequences on one’s RL are there due to various encounters in SL? 







Stareyes Galaxy polled avatars on this subject, and also asked an expert for an assessment.
I had the pleasure of discussing the subject with Hondo Slade (Lone Wolf), who had a heart-breaking RL story, and thing or two to say about services to veterans in SL. In his opinion, the strongest effects of SL on RL are in relationships.

SLE: So, you mean, when you are with someone in SL, it will carry over to RL?
Hondo: Yes, it does. Have you ever had a partner that you trusted so much that you start to talk about your RL to your companion?

Hondo told of his experience with a girl in a neighboring country, with whom he fell in love. After two years of dating in SL and in RL, she dropped him cold. After a few months, he’s still depressed and gets less on SL than when he was in this relationship. “Bottom line: [in] relationships just like in the real world, [breakups] hurt after many years of being together.”

A peek into the Real Life of an Avatar- Orchids Zenovka Reporting…





The duality of existence is seen when we try to “escape” reality, creating anonymous virtual – selves giving us the freedom to unleash ourselves from self and society determined roles, and experience the world afresh. Yet, the “real” us sits behind a keyboard and types via our avis, thoughts in our “real mind. The thoughts we think about our own-selves, we project to the world. Unknowingly, we come to understand our First lives better. Second  Life does not seem  less “real” than a phone call. Experiences we acquire online be it good or bad, spill over and change our lives in the real world, often without our awareness. How can this be translated to improving the “real” me is the question. Because once the computer is shut down, that is what I have to face....

Today we have the "Real Deal"; the combo SL+RL fighter and the anarchist. Yet at the same time the softie who wouldn't hurt a dog's tail. This self described Jessica Rabbit is "Julya Lykin". This is the story of one Avi on SL who has shown me the true meaning of fighting to live for the right reasons. She has fought through heart disease and 6 surgeries and still believed enough in the goodness of this world to find her love in SL and now married to him over a year. She is certainly not the only one. There are wonderful people in SL and RL who fight to live each single day. This is a representation of all of you fighters out there; and also for those, looking for a reason to live.

And suddenly, out of the blue, SL makes sense....

Adventures of Snake III: I'm Done!- CCoursey Reporting…


         

       At this point everyone in my vampire family hates me except Snake. I was called for the first time by Amy to tell me what a slut I was, when I hadn’t looked at Snake that way once.  One he was introduced to me as Amy’s, two I wasn’t interested at the time in that stuff, and three his avi really wasn’t that appealing to me.  I had also experienced my first day as a stripper in the clan’s club…  Let’s just say I wasn’t so great on a pole.  One of Ophelia’s friends came to the club to teach me and a few others how to emote.  ‘Brutus’ is one of the most awesome emoters I know on Second Life to this day and the best part- he’s a really great guy.  So I sign on to SL where the clan that hates my guts ignores me, another stripper ‘Genie’ befriends me, and I go to the emote class.

Aussie Aussie Aussie Oy Oy Oy - Lacy Muircastle reporting ....

And Mr Virtual World 2013 is .... Erik Bayn - Mr Australia

Hats off to Frolic and the rest of you who put together this seamless event.

Once again our congratulations to the very dishy Mr Australia Erik Bayn who walked off with the title.


SL Business Interview and Advice - Orchids Zenovka Reporting….

Part 1:

Trying to practice Business without knowledge is like sailing an uncharted sea. I talked to some avis, who have managed to make a success of themselves in business in SL and yet have not forgotten who they were to start out with and have remained true to themselves. These are honest detailed interviews, though lighthearted at times. While it is true that business is dull facts and sheets, there is nothing to stop us from having some fun. Understanding the minds behind the ones who have made a strong business can sometimes be more rewarding than trying to look for easy “tips and tricks” to be successful overnight.
So here’s the candid and amazing Pixy and another secret avi for you artists out there … read on!

View of a Designer


Orchids Zenovka: αмαɭϮнєα Ɗﻉ ɭα Crσιㄨ aka Pixy.Snook ; you are a successful blogger and businesswoman in SL. Thank you for spending time out with us to talk shop :).

Pixy.Snook:  You are SO welcome! I'm honored really. I never expected to be doing an interview.

Orchids: Who’s αмαɭϮнєα Ɗﻉ ɭα Crσιㄨ?

Pixy:  I am me. I'm sugar and spice and everything nice. Toss in some sparkles, something shiny, lots of color, mix in some love, shake it all up and that’s me. The RL me has pink hair, piercings and tattoos - I know many in SL have these but are perfectly 'normal' in RL. I embrace this in RL and SL but I can. I've always held down a job, and had a relatively prosperous career WITH my pink hair but I also have the personality to back it up. I'm cosmo Goth geek, with a smidge of bubble Goth mixed in. I think this tends to reflect in my designs. Oh Ohhh and the name Amalthea - that’s the name of The Last Unicorn, a great cheesy 80's animated movie, the Lady Amalthea. Teenie bit a triva in there I guess and one of my favorite movies.

Spotlight on Lisisme Dubrovna: Grand Canyon, the Beauty of Simplicity – Glossom Resident reporting…




Carved by the hands of Lisisme Dubrovna, the Grand Canyon is one of the most powerful forces of nature virtually portrayed in Second Life.
Located on three outstanding regions with tremendous landscapes, it excels in all the opportunities it has to offer that outdo the expectations. Proficient in sports (radical sports, water sports and ground and air sports), it is also a place for relaxation, romance, shopping, art and for unforgettable experiences.

Technology: Mesh Studio- Jessi2009 Warrol Reporting...

 
So what do you do? Luckily there is a great and handy mesh tool that you can use to create mesh objects and that tool is…Mesh Studio.





Mesh Studio is the brainchild of TheBlack Box and Anjin Meili.  These names may be familiar to you if you have used the very popular Sculpt Studio, easy to create sculpt tool. The tool allows creators to create standalone mesh models or to create mesh models that can be manipulated and edited in real life 3D mesh creation tools.

Beach Wear for 2013- Tea Couturier Reporting...




With so many beach wear out there it can be hard to pick the right one or even know where to begin looking.

 I have looked around second life stores and little boutiques and created a list of a few pieces I feel not only appeal to budgets but still give you that summery look you are seeking.
