Attention Fashionistas, Shoppers, and Champions for Good Causes! Fashion For Life is now open!- Silky Soulstar Reporting...



  The event opened at 6am Saturday June 7th and runs through midnight on June 20th to campaign and raise funds benefiting the American Cancer Society.

We really like that Fashion For Life inspires in-world collaboration and socialization for a great cause.  The FFL event truly is an example of the power SL can apply to our Real Lives.

Fashion For Life is one of the ‘mega-events’ associated with the popular Relay For Life, and is the only fashion-inspired SL event officially tied to RFL.  There are ten beautifully crafted sims to explore that feature more than 150 designers of clothing, accessories and poses.  All items are exclusive to the Fashion For Life event through June 20th.  You can’t get these items anywhere else!

Every item on sale at the Fashion For Life event is also a donation item.  Designers and creators donate anywhere between 15 – 100% of all sales to benefit the American Cancer Society. 

To Honor and Empower Wounded Warriors- Get Involved!


Support the Wounded Warrior Project on SL with a grid wide push this July!

Your generous donation to WWP helps thousands of Wounded Warriors - and their families - as they return home from the current conflicts. When a warrior faces challenges, the family experiences those challenges along with their warrior. We support family members who suddenly find they are serving as full-time supporters or caregivers.


The WWP RL group started by Frets Nirvana has always put the vets first and We strive to make sure every person we come across that we meet at the concerts and venue houses get to see how we work and see that the funds truly go to the RL WWP corp.
Hardcore (jardasius.ecksol): I been serving almost 11 years now and have friends that have comeback hurt and some of them have been helped by the WWP in RL and its good to see that after  238 years since the country was founded we finally have an organization to help out the wounded men and women who fight to keep us all free. All of frets reps work very hard and are so lucky and honored to be doing this for ALL of the countries wounded soldiers


If you would like to host an event in the month of July, or perform or get involved in any way, please contact Weeblewolf Pinion or Mark Ussy (markr356) and we will get you started.

Has the African American community of second life loss its unity? One woman’s prospective- Sunny Love Holiday Reporting



Recently I have ran across many articles addressing African American unity, or the lack there of, in our communities, in a professional setting, and even in our family structures.  Comments by the Owner of the L.A. Clippers Don Sterling  about NBA Hall of Famer Magic Johnson contributions to the African-American community were inaccurate…….but maybe a much-needed wake up call for us to take a look at ourselves a bit closer in both our everyday real life and our virtual world.

VAW: Virtual Attitude Wrestling- Entertainment and Voiced Ring Action in Second Life- Lanai Jarrico Reporting…



VAW also known as Virtual Attitude Wrestling is an interactive sport within the realm of virtual reality. VAM replicates real world wrestling and gives residents of Second Life the opportunity to experience this sport up close and personal. SL residents have a choice. Be a fan cheering from the stands or one of the heavy weight champions flying from the top rope and taking out their opponent.  I had the pleasure of meeting up with Vince Aftermath, the CEO and learning more about VAW and the excitement it brings to the Second Life community.

Tech Topic: Just Meshy! - Jessii2009 Warrol Reporting…

I was helping a friend in Second Life with mesh clothing. This particular friend had been a slow adapter to mesh and was purchasing her very first mesh outfit. 

As I was explaining the differences between  the different type of mesh clothing (rigged, fitted, and regular mesh), I realized that not many people in Second Life may actually understand the concept of mesh and this may have led to the aversion to mesh that still prevails throughout some sectors in Second Life. In this article you will learn about the different types of mesh for clothing and builds.

Batista's Restaurant and Mountain Resort - Piers Diesel Reporting



It can be hard to find a good restaurant in Second Life which offers you good service and also feels like you are experiencing fine dining. However, many of you may have heard of Batista the restaurant but not know about Batista the resort.

The owners DeAngelo Batista and Jennifer Batista were happy for me to walk around the resort and have access to areas which are private. Due to them being busy organizing 2 big parties one for 20 people and another for 50, their daughter was kind enough to show me around and  answer some of my questions.

The Jungle; a Place of Enchantment and Wonder




Begin your journey by entering through the Lion's Mouth Cave. It will prove to be one of the most relaxing, interesting, romantic sim experiences that you place your avatar’s feet upon.

There is no reality in The Jungle, only enchantment and wonder. The design was laid out with no expense or prims spared in the building of this sim. Explore and you will find yourself in awe of your surroundings.

Spotlight on SEYCHELLES ISLE- A place where Serenity, Tranquility and Prestige can be Experienced.- Lanai Jarrico Reporting…



Seychelles Isle was formerly known as Irish Estates until its rebirth in September of 2013.  Created by Irishgent Resident, it has become a dream that he has made a virtual reality; a close knit sailing community where everyone knows each other and participates in one another’s events and activities.






Seychelles Isle features a collection of islands surrounded by water, coral beds and magnificent beaches created and designed by the talented Ericaanne Hastings. Together with Irishgent’s vision and her hands on approach, together they captured the essence of all that defines serenity, tranquility and Prestige.

Sadly for womankind he is taken by the gorgeous and equally musically talented Jade, so you will just have to perve him from the audience.

Ms. Sweethearts Pageant- Ccoursey Reporting....



Forty two women in Second Life put their best foot forward to become the next Ms. Sweethearts.  This weekend four out of the five ladies chosen through the public vote all stepped forward to compete in the Ms. Sweethearts Pageant.



 Shannon Bramlington the owner and coordinator told me each applicant had to be over thirty days old, unaffiliated with any other club in SL, and a Sweethearts group member. They had to write a small biography to give the public a glimpse of their personality and to learn about them.

Observing Memorial Day in the Real & Virtual Worlds- Silky Soulstar Reporting...




MEMORIAL DAY observances ranging from the sublime to the obviously salacious abound in Second Life; and are open to everyone from all corners of the Globe, and from every space found in our cozy little metaverse.

I’ve always found it impressive when I meet people from just about any country you can imagine, and yet they KNOW very well about my USA holidays.  Monday, May 26, 2014 is MEMORIAL DAY in the United States.  It is a day of recognition of our past and present military servicewomen and servicemen.  And it is particularly a day of remembrance for our fallen heroes, like my own Uncle and Godparent.

Although it is celebrated with a special day of observation in the U.S., I find it touching that it is also acknowledged by my global friendships.  And for that I am grateful, as well as proud.

Our Avatars exist in a metaverse, but are guided by RL people with hearts and souls.  So it is with honor, really, that I write this destination guide for the SL Enquirer about how our unique virtual world recognizes the very REAL sacrifices made by living souls, working to ultimate ends to keep peace for global citizens.

At Veterans Isle (192, 201, 23) you will find an in-world replica of the Real Life monument that reads 

“HERE RESTS IN HONORED GLORY AN AMERICAN SOLDIER KNOWN BUT TO GOD”.

   If you are looking for a great place to spend a few moments of reverence this Monday, May 26th 2014, the U.S. Military Veterans Center is a must-see destination for your teleporter.  You can also donate to the Wounded Warrior Project while you are there.
      VETERANS ISLE SLURL: http://goo.gl/DzADaq

There are a host of other venues in SL well worth a visit this Memorial Day, 2014.  If no times are noted below, the event goes for the entire day.

Was your social networking account deleted because you were not a "REAL" person? Get Connected on Avatarhookup.com



Many of the most popular social networking sites clearly state in their Terms of Service that you will NOT provide false information or have more than one personal account. 

Therefore, many of the avatars you see on these sites are in breach of the most common TOS guidelines. Likewise, if you disregard those TOS guidelines, you are at risk of having all the work and effort you put into building your online network erased in one regretful moment! It’s happened to many avatars from SL, and it could happen to you. 

Now there is a solution.


At www.AvatarHookup.com, you CAN have more than one account for your alts and different grids.
