A Preview of Ms Sweetheart Pageant Finalists- Rere Sandalwood Reporting...

Muhammad Ali once said, “A rooster crows only when it
sees the light. Put him in the dark and he'll never crow….I have seen the light
and I'm crowing.” Like the rooster that crows in the light, the 2015 Ms.
Sweethearts Pageant brings forth a joyful sound that foreshadows Spring, and
all the wonderful things intrinsic in it.
The Ms. Sweetheart’s Pageant will take place on Saturday,
March 14, 2015 at 10 AM SLT. Established
in August 2010, the Ms. Sweetheart’s Pageant, according to organizer and owner Shannon
Bramlington, was started as a way to display the beauty of the female guests
that frequent the Sweetheart’s Jazz Club.
The winner of this pageant not only wins a prize of $100,00L, they also
win the Ms. Sweetheart’s Pageant crown, as well as a generous array of designer
gowns from SL’s most prestigious designers.
Bramlington asserts, “The Ms. Sweethearts Pageant is a search for the
Sweetest of Hearts in Second Life. We do look at beauty but the emphasis is on
class and grace, intelligence and the ability to represent Sweethearts as a
romantic venue.”
Dolly
Warden and LADYROSECHERRY SERENITY: The
Finalists That Keep Moving Forward
In keeping with the Pageant’s search for the Sweetest of
Hearts, there are five finalists that will compete for the Ms. Sweetheart’s
Pageant Title. One of those finalist is
Dolly Warden. Though Warden is still
recovering from the Real Life loss of her father, she continues to dedicate
herself to the pageant in his honor. Warden
explains: “I am a very hard worker….a
good leader who learns and leads by example.
I am very genuine with how I love Sweethearts, and how I feel about
being the best representative for Sweethearts that I can be. Most of all, I am not a quitter. My father
just passed away, we buried him yesterday; and although I had to miss some
things, I didn't let it stop me. It is a
positive thing that has helped me deal with the bad at this moment.” Like her Father, Warden is a US Veteran, and
is deeply committed to family and long lasting friendships. Warden contends that she “….was lucky and
honored to have such a great dad. The
funeral was beautiful with full military honors...”
What is amazing about Dolly Warden is not only her
willingness to share this information with the SL Enquirer, but her willful
determination to continue her participation in the 2015 Ms. Sweethearts Pageant
despite the loss of her father. Warden
reiterates her determination by saying, “I like to think my father would be
glad I didn't give up. He knew I was in
the pageant and was proud of me… all I can do now is honor him in every way I
can [because] good parents are the best blessing we can have.”
Warden’s persistence to stay in the pageant—despite the
loss of her father—is commendable, and mirrors the strong work ethic present in
all the Ms. Sweetheart’s Pageant Finalists. In fact, their work ethic is so
strong, that not even the Boston Blizzard of 2015 could stop them from
competing.
Rosie O’Grady, better known as LADYROSECHERRY SERENITY, epitomizes
this claim. Born and raised in Boston in
real life, Serenity’s endurance is currently being tested in the midst of a
blizzard so intense, that it has paralyzed major roads and completely submerged
cars in over 65 feet of snow. Serenity
says, “…we are having lots of blizzards here, [with] so much snow you can make
an igloo…and [to top it off], I have to shovel it. I am sick of looking at the
weather at this point….”
Yet despite being tired of the horrid Boston weather,
Serenity’s dream is to be the best model in Second Life. “[I believe that it is important] to never
give up and be the best that you can be.
None of us [are] perfect.”
Both LADYROSECHERRY SERENITY and Dolly Warden enjoy
meeting new people in their SL time, as well as love being creative in many
different ways. Warden explains, “I
really enjoy the fashion aspect of SL.
This pageant gives me an opportunity to have even more fun with fashion
as well.”
LADYROSECHERRY SERENITY echoes Warden’s sentiment, but
adds, “I enjoy helping newbies and people in general [in both Real Life and in
Second Life].
Ms.
Sweetheart Pageant Finalists and the Friends They Have
Gwennie Oldrich chuckles as she recalls her motivation
for entering into the pageant.
“Honestly, my best friend and I were joking around about how the pageant
needed an underdog who could add a fresh, new approach to being Ms.
Sweetheart's, so finally I decided why not and put in my application. Though once I was accepted as a hopeful, I
actually got serious and tried to be what I thought a good Ms. Sweetheart’s [contestant]
would be.”
When asked if she had expected to become a finalist,
Oldrich says, “Never in a million years.
I figured I’d get in the top 10 but never expected to end up in the top
5. [In fact,] I was completely speechless….”
Like Oldrich, BroadwayGirl1 Resident did not expect to
become a finalist either. “When I found
out that I was a finalist, I was so happy that I was in RL crying, and was
telling my family and friends on here [about my becoming a finalist].
BroadwayGirl1 also relied on the support of her friends
to aid in her motivation to enter the Ms. Sweetheart’s Pageant, just like
Oldrich did. BroadwayGirl1 explains, “I was curious about what it would be like
to be in a pageant. I never did pageants in RL or here. Also, with the urging
and support of my friends, I feel like they would support me throughout the
pageant and would support me no matter what happens…”
Since neither BroadwayGirl1 nor Oldrich had ever
participated in pageants prior, they both feel like they can bring a fresh
perspective to the Ms. Sweetheart’s competition. One of these fresh perspectives includes SL
hobbies; Oldrich loves playing SL Games, as well as routinely being around her
friends. “[In fact, I love] hanging
around [and] chatting with my friends at home and at Sweethearts.” She
continues, “[I also love] playing Greedy, raising
KittyCats and participating in 7 seas fishing tournaments at our Tiny Empires
Kingdom every chance I get.”
In contrast, BroadwayGirl1 demonstrates a fresh
perspective by describing her favorite SL hobby of all: hanging out at the
Sweetheart’s Club. “I love going to Sweethearts. It has been my home since I
started SL and it is the only club that I go to. I love dancing on the dance pads
with my friend and socializ[ing] with them. I love going to Sweethearts and
danc[ing] with my fiancé there as well.”
While both ladies have friends in and outside
Sweetheart’s, they have also successfully made friends with the other finalists
involved in the pageant. Oldrich says,
“I was friends with one of [the pageant finalists] before, and have chatted a
lot with another one since joining the pageant.
And yes, once we’re not all so busy, I can see [the creation of long
lasting friendships with the pageant participants] being a possibility.” In keeping with this comradery of friendship,
BroadwayGirl1 offers the following words of advice to all the finalists: “…just be yourself and treat others the way
you would want to be treated; treat others the way that they would like to be
treated, not only during the pageant, but also through their journey in sl.”
Finalist
BELLAROSE and Organizer Shannon Bramlington: Rising Up To the Challenge
Besides the comradery of friendship, another interesting
thing about the Ms. Sweetheart’s Pageant finalists is their ability to rise up
to the Pageant’s competitiveness. While
it is one thing to rise up to this challenge once, it is another thing entirely
to rise up to the challenge a second time around. BELLAROSE does this with
ease, moreso because she was in the Ms. Sweetheart’s pageant last year, and
came in third place. She says, “I love
the elegance and beauty of the pageant, and [have] always wanted to participate
in one!”
Organizer Shannon Bramlington reiterates this sentiment
by describing how the Ms. Sweetheart’s Pageant is not solely about beauty, it’s
about looking for the winner that embodies grace, elegance, intelligence,
maturity, and poise. “As the pageant creator,” Bramlington contends that “…it's
given me the freedom to invent new ways to challenge the ladies, to push the
pageant world out of its normal pretty box into a search for the total package...”
Bramlington continues, “I love watching what I see in my head come to life on
the runway…as the ladies walk by, I am so proud of them and the journey the
have been on for months…”
This pride could not be vividly affirmed enough than when
BELLAROSE found out she had become a finalist for the second time. “I was ecstatic, proud and very happy,” she
explains. “[In fact] I am looking
forward to the final competition [because] I love the challenge and
exhilaration of the contest.”
Like the other finalists involved in the Ms. Sweetheart’s
Pageant, BELLAROSE has also received more than the finalist title. “I have received many exquisite and beautiful
gowns by the fabulous designer, MARIANELA.
The owners, Shannon and Blake Hambleton, offered a free education in
modeling at REGAL ACADEMY, which teaches an assortment of professional modeling
and presentation skills, ones that are vital for anyone who aspires to be a
model.”
The recent addition of the Regal Academy to the
finalists’ winnings is one of many improvements implemented by Shannon
Bramlington. She also contends that the
Ms. Sweetheart’s Pageant has added, in the past few years, the runway aspect to
their competition. “We hope to grow the pageant even bigger every year
[because] it’s come a long way since being a photo contest.”
Besides aiming for the successful growth of the pageant,
Bramlington is also very interested in making sure the sole winner of the
Pageant is heavily involved in giving back to the SL community. Bramlington reiterates, “The Ms. Sweethearts
Winner is highly involved in our charity events for Alzheimer Dementia, as well
as for Creations for Parkinson's. We also donate anywhere from $100,000 to
$150,000 linden to each charity from the profits of the pageant.”
As impressive as these numbers are, it is even more
impressive of how each finalist embodies this sentiment. BELLAROSE states that as a finalist, it is
important to “….be true to your intention, and to do so, one must be true to
one’s self. If you are going to compete
for the star at the top, you must stay the path and never give up.
BELLAROSE continues:
“Second, one must realize that no person is an island. To be at the head of that community, we must
truly represent that community by being a part of it. To be a part of it, we must practice the
basic virtues of giving, helping, and being kind and caring to others. Why? Because without these simple virtues we
cannot lead, nor can we represent…”

A Trip to Educational Venues – Debby Sharma Reporting …

“Education is the most
powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”
~ Nelson Mandela
No matter the world
we live in, no matter the technology we use, it is education that has made us
who we are today. The thirst of inquisitiveness and the hunger to challenge
oneself has probably led to the creation of this world we share together.
Together we have built what we call as economy, supporting each other to have a
brighter future. The values of education cannot be measure but the fruits are
enormous. Second Lie has been an eye opener to many by being another podium to
impart education.
The list of
educational and cultural venues can be found in the Destination Guide under
Culture and Education category. Among the many located in Second Life, here are
a few:
Stanford University
A beautiful replica
of the original Stanford University, it has been developed by Stanford
University’s Libraries and Academic Information Resources (SULAIR). As seen in
the photograph, there is a library with a rare collection of books and first
prints of newspapers, Student Gallery consisting of articles about various
subjects. There are areas in the sim dedicated to history. One such is the History
of Mexico.
The Stanford
University Libraries Department of Special Collections held the exhibit
publicly, “In Folio: Rare Volumes in the Stanford University Libraries”,
featuring more than 30 titles, the exhibit
was on view at Stanford University’s Cecil H. Green Library, Peterson
Gallery, second floor of the Bing Wing, from August 4 through November 9, 2003.
Biographically speaking a folio is a book whose printed sheets have been folded
only once to form leaves of text or illustration; in contrast, a quarto is a
book whose sheers have been folded twice; on octave is a book whose sheet have
been folded three times. Generally speaking, a folio is simply a large book.
Each of the folios in this exhibit at the Stanford University is not only great
in size but also significant, being important editions of important texts.
These folio volumes have something else in colon as well, each has been used in
a class or academic presentation over the past two years. These volumes are
important as they are vital to the teaching mission of Stanford University. In
Folio, features titles spanning the first five centuries of printing.
Highlights include the 1469 edition of Pliny’s Natural History, a 1497 edition
of Dante’ Commedia, the first edition of the Nuremberg Chronicle (1493),
William Blake’s engravings in Edward Young’ Night Thoughts (1797), John
Dryden’s translation of Virgil’s works (1697), the Cranach Press Hamlet (1930),
the Foulis Press Homer (1756 – 1758) and Abraham Ortelius; magnificent atlas
(1595).
Coalition Island
Another important
venue to visit is the Coalition Island. It is a nexus of United States armed
forces activity and collaboration in Second Life. It links all the military
islands in Second Life that are a virtual replica of the reality with a
teleportation panel. More information about Military Lnads in Second Life is
available in the Wiki. Visit the link http://wiki.secondllife.com/wiki/Military_Lands
The venue is a
beautiful pentagon shaped Island with the wall covered with photographs of
armed forces busy in various activities. There are a few stories on the wall
that have made history like “The San Diego – based guided missile destroyer USS
Benfold (DDG 650) fired a missile on Thursday, March 26, 2009 during training
exercise Steilar Daggers in the Pacific Ocean. Benfold engages multiple targets
with Standard Missile -2 (SM -2 ) Block III A and modified SM 2 BLK IV missiles
The Benfold’s Aegis Weapons System successfully detected and intercepted a
cruise missile target with a SM – 2 BLK II A, while simultaneously detecting
and intercepting an incoming SRBM target with a modified SM – 2 BLK IV.”
“Education is our passport
to the future, for tomorrow belongs to the people who prepare for it today.”
~ Malcom X
University of Worcester
The University of
Worcester is one of my favorites. It features monthly learning seminars, a
teaching hospital and a library. There is also a lounge to relax or have some
serious conversations.
The Library of Bable
is a huge library consisting of books like:
·
Around
the World in 80 Days by Jules Verne
·
Bable
Volume by Axaxxaxas Mlo
·
Bable
Volume by Gray Labyrinth
·
Bable
Volume: The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy
·
Bable
Volume: The Plaster Cramp
·
Gulliver’s
Travels by Johnathan Swift
·
Metamorphosis
by Fran Kafka
·
Nonsense
songs by Edward Lear
·
Books
on Portuguese
·
The
Library of Bable by Jorge Luis Borges
·
The
Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde
·
The
Republic of Plato
·
The
Tempest by William Shakespeare
·
The
Time Machine by H.G (Herbert George) Wells
With such collection
and so many more books, who would like to leave this library? As this quote
says,
“Mind is not a vessel to be
filled, but a fire to be rekindled”

Want to Get Pregnant in Second Life? Let’s Explore this Question.- Lanai Jarrico Reporting..
Sunday, March 01, 2015
child avatar, culture, humor, maternity, pregnancy, prim baby, role play, second life, sl adoption, The SL Enquirer
4 comments
It has been a
while since I’ve binged on some candid articles about the culture of Second
Life so I decided to browse the events list for some writing inspiration and
came across this question…. “Want to Get Pregnant in Second Life”?
I’m no
stranger to this topic. Many of my friends have popped out prim babies, I even
had a stork (creator) drop one on me to promote and play with. Besides that
forced parenting experience I also own a zooby baby… or too. I won’t disclose
my baby daddy or anything but … I know the process.
Anyway…curious
to find out where the teleport would take me, I landed in a fertility clinic
but oddly I was ejected and banned after about 5 minutes with no warning
or explanation. Perhaps I should dig deeper into that particular clinic and see
if there is some shady business going on. I did nothing to deserve such a rude
boot.
With a little
light hearted humor let’s get back on topic here.
SL Family role
play is very popular as many know. Many SLers have experienced it for
themselves while others think it is just weird and ridiculous. Nonetheless most
of us have came across a pregnant avie, child avies or a loving parent cradling
a prim baby in their arms while subjecting everyone to the belly talking HUD letting bystanders know that Mommy loves her baby or something about
nasty stretch marks.
With family
role play comes the deed to creating prim babies for many couples.
When
these mates get intimate by using sexbeds, rugs, pillows, tabletops
and other objects containing sex animation, the act of making babies gets more
real but it won’t cause a pregnancy. Couples have to wear a fertility/
pregnancy HUD to achieve conception. (Mama-Allpa & Pooterbilt have good ones)
The next step is finding a clinic that
provides the OBGYN roleplay care expectant parents need. There are some pretty authentic ones out there like Hands On Maternity Clinic and Birthing Center. It is operated by real medical professional for a genuine experience.
The whole
experience can be interesting, costly and maybe even a bit complicated just to
add a little something extra to a loving relationship.
There are different
options for going about the whole parenting thing. One way is purchasing an
artificially intelligent prim
baby or finding someone
willing to dress up like a child
avatar and roleplay as your
offspring.
The child
avatar option adds more substance to the relationship between child and parent
but it is kind of strange when I see a child avie speaking like a 2 year
old and knowing it is really an adult. Nonetheless to each their own.
Artificial
intelligent babies get neglected more because they can’t complain about being
stored in an inventory for days or weeks whilst a child avatar might divorce
you as their parent and move on to another loving family due to neglection.
What happens
when you just want a baby without the “middle man”? Well Second Life offers
alternative solutions to child bearing. The clinic I landed at offers artificial insemination.
I’m left
with questions about how this process works since I was so rudely kicked out of
the clinic promoting it. I wonder if fertile avies choose from an ad
board of willing donors for a quick hud hook up-minus the flowers and candy or…
the deed is done in a more professional roleplay situation using a virtual
turkey baster while the patient lays flat on a cold hard table. The process
remains a mystery but hey the service is available in Second Life. Here is the
link to the Maternity Clinic Rodeo Drive. Sketchy name but you will have
to find out for yourself.http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Vice%20Beach/110/178/32
If sacrificing
your hourglass figure, child avatars or artificial insemination aren’t choices you like, adoption is an option.
Just remember,
becoming a virtual parent is something you might want to think about if you are
unsure about your romantic relationship(s) or if the time you have to spare with
your little bundle of prim joy is rare.
Just like having a child in the real world, you
have expenses and responsibilities. Also, nobody wants to see
pregnant women twerking in the club or bringing their babies with them to places
where adults go to get away from their own kids. It is not cute.
Adding a baby
to your virtual family however should be a special and joyous time. The whole
experience can be rewarding for some but not only enjoying the bundle of joy in
their second lives but enjoying the joys of SL pregnancy while still being able
to do some heavy prim lifting or enjoying a drink or two or three.
Congratulations
if getting pregnant in Second Life has changed your virtual experience for the better.

No comments
In 1948 the National Association for Stock Car Racing was
founded and held its first stock car race at Charlotte Speedway in North
Carolina. Today this spectator sport has a global fan base and has expanded to over 1,200 races at over 100 tracks across
North America per year. It is known widely as Nascar and has become a multi-
billion dollar industry for racing enthusiasts who love to watch race cars and
trucks whip around a track at lightning speed. Nascar’s Sprint Cup Series
schedule for 2015 kicked off on February 14th and will run until
November with the Championship Round. It is a very expensive hobby so not everyone
can easily join Nascar. Also, as tragic as it may sound the wrecks seem to give
the spectators a jolt of adrenaline.
Thanks to Second
Life you can easily join the race without worrying about experience, going
broke, being sent to the ER or worse.
In Second Life
R.I.R Raceway Stock Car Racing Venue is the most realistic racing venue in
Second Life that caters to beginners, advanced and pro class racing fans who
have a need for speed and want to sit behind the wheel of their own racecar.
Founded in Owned
and operated by badguy Boozehound and Co owner doobeedoo Littlething, together
they host 5 weekly races. Winners receive
Linden Trophies, points and bragging rights.
The SL Enquirer contacted Badguy to
learn more about racing in SL and how residents can join in the fun.
Interview
with R.I.R Raceway’s Badguy Boozehound
What
brought you to Second Life and inspired you to create R.I.R Raceway?
I originally came to Second Life looking for new chat
spots as Skype was closing Shoutcasts. Then I found a speedway I loved the idea
and fun involved in SL racing. Unfortunately the venue didn’t last long and
closed leaving me with a racing bug and wanting to continue. That’s when we
started building a basic track on a friend’s land and from there it expanded to
where the raceway is now.
Who
is part of the R.I.R Staff and what are their roles?
The Staff at R.I.R are just the 2 owners Myself and my
wife Doobeedoo Littlething. We are Sponsored By Black Lagoon Grafx Shop.
What
type of services does R.I.R. offer racing enthusiasts in Second Life? Is race
training provided?
There is a range of vehicles starting at a beginner class
& working their way up the ranks to pro Sprint cup class. We don’t provide
a training class but usually there is at least one racer practicing on the
track. All are very friendly and always
willing to help a new driver find their groove on the track. Also, there are free
demo cars which can be used in races for all the new people who come.
How
can SLers get involved in the races, is there a membership requirement?
No, just simply
turn up for the race and use the free demo car provided or purchase the modifiable
car that can be painted by the owner or their friends. The only thing is when
you go to get a paint job on a full version car we ask that you register a race
number not taken by another driver. Race Numbers already registered can be
found here on R.I.R Main Website. http://rirracingleague.webs.com
Do
you use an SL group that racers and fans can join for racing news and alerts?
Yes, we do all Race video footage and race notices are
posted there. Here is the link for the racing group for all the shin digs and
events.
secondlife:///app/group/68f84af7-d0d1-abc4-5321-b6cf854927f1/about
R.I.R
Raceway hosts 7 weekly races. How do the races work? Can you explain the
process from starting line to handing out trophies to the winners?
Yes, It is a fairly simple process for the drivers. The
race director does most of the work.
We start an hour before the race with an official practice
session for 45 mins. When that time is up, the practice times are reset and a 15
minute open qualify begins. Drivers start positions are in the order of fastest
time in qualify to least fastest time in qualify being the last driver on the
grid.
Being as we are on Second Life servers some of the small
tracks and race gate systems won’t handle more than 10 drivers so, we may have
to run heat race events to get to our top 10 drivers for the main event . These
are two 5 lap races taking the pole sitter and
5 drivers from the two 5 lap races. The remaining drivers who have not made a main
event ticket will be put out in what we call a consi race. This is the last
chance to make the main event and the top 4 finishers get this ride to the
money race.
The rest of the
grid will take 11th place and so on and be packing it up for the night and
hoping for that big break on the next race day.
Where
can I get the most updated race schedule?
The best place to get the most updated schedule is the
main race shop in world on the wall in the office.
Also a race schedule and calendar are available on the
main website
Are
there sponsorship programs for racers? If so how can SL companies get their
logos slapped on a Pro Racers car?
Many drivers are looking for race sponsors to help them with vehicle
purchases so they can get some paint on their racecar. Many of them have found that special sponsor
that gives them that opportunity. The best way is to show up on the race day
and scout out the drivers during a practice and give them your proposal.
When
a race is not happening, can anyone visit the raceway and get on the track?
Oh yes the tracks are open always for visitors to just come
and enjoy doing laps in their own cars as well as the R.I.R Product line
vehicles. We close down the track we
race at that particular day an hour before race time for official race practice
so all the drivers get 45 minutes of good drafting practice before qualifying
begins.
Do
they need their own car or does the track provide rezzables to borrow?
As stated you can run a demo car which is provided free.
These cars are no modify and lack the love of paint making. Usually drivers
want to get the full version and get creative with his race paint. These demo
cars have the same scripting quality of the full version car but are no modify.
You
have a car shop on the premises, is this where SLers can purchase cars?
Yes the cars can be purchased in the main race shop
located here on the main level.
How
can SLers order a custom racecar ?
All the cars are the same to keep the race series
controlled and monitored at all times. The class raced in that said day will
all weigh the same and have same scripting
but can be tuned via a dialog menu to adjust steering downforce wedge
ect.
We do have a custom painting booth as this is the only
thing allowed to be modded on the car. All cars are equipped with big brother
watching them at all times and will let
the creator and the driver know the car is not in tech.
Is
there anything else you would like to share about R.I.R. Raceway?
Just for some good hard racing come join the fun @ R.I.R
Raceway.
