Virtual Publishing Old School

By -
There's a new SL™ Magazine out. See if you can guess what it's called *winks*
It proports to be about SLs "Nightspots" and glancing through it, I guess this is so. Three articles on clubs, a DJ of the month, a Dancer of the month, and a cover story on (yay!) a live performer.  There's also a couple of editoral/columns (one on wearing clothing in SL -- Why would someone what to do that?) one article on shopping and another on fashion.  Just glancing through I'd say the articles are well written. I'm sure the information is well worth the price.

Okay, according to the website, the magazine is not really new. What is new is the sim they've built. I've known an SL publisher or two. It's a thankless job that they claim makes money for them, but knowing the SL economy and the amount of work it takes just to edit 8 features together (assuming you didn't have to write them too) I have never been convinced there is a profit to be made there. And yet, they have a whole sim to their headquarters.


So while I reflect on how wrong I must be, I'll play in their fountain a while.  Actually it's a very pretty sim. To celebrate their grand opening they had a sim-wide hunt and when i was looking around, several of the prizes still seemed to be lying around, so it's not entirely too late. The website heartbeatmag.co.cc is much more geared to *gasps* fashion, but I'm sure you can find good points there too.
Awe, aren't they cute?  Just gotta love the orcas. From http://slurl.com/secondlife/Sumerset/129/82/29 reporting for CMNF Naughty News, I'm Zimmi Warwick

Naturism

By -

While its always difficult to pin down the philosophy of a diverse group, most Naturists will agree that they enjoy life more without clothing. Naturists apparently enjoy the sun on their skin and sharing it with family friends and pets. For some it's a lifestyle with deep philosophical foundations. For others it's a skinny dip in a friends hot tub. But for just about all, it's not about sex. Unless we're talking about Second Life.™ In our little virtual world we have to constantly remind residents that naturism and erections do not mix. Even the best of Naturist sites are seen as pick-up spots by many of the patrons. Maybe not the regulars who know each other, but for the casual visitors it's a meat market with fresh meat. It doesn't really help that lots of the sites that list "Naturism" or "Nudist" are at best ugly sex markets for the newbies that make the Lindens cringe when they're talked about in media (waves) I really thin...

Streak 500 update

Just to let you all know that I'm back to working on that 500 sim Streak. I'm sure I've already done that, but this time I'm documenting it. It's all on Flickr  http://www.flickr.com/people/54350144@N03/   Check that out. This is an out take. I suppose that they want to limit the number of peoples having sex in their store, but I tend to take these signs as a challenge. That's just wrong of me I know, but it's my nature.

In Search of Torley

By -

EPOSTED FROM CMNF & NIP Girls BLOG, NO LONGER AVAILABLE: DATELINE: 7 January 2009 You all know him, you've seen his movies, you may even have seen him on the grid. Today I was assigned the task of tracking down the one and only Torley Linden. That's right the King of the SL tutorial, the Prince of Pink and Green, Mister Friendly Greetings! My first task was tracking down Mr. Linden's office. This is not as easy as you might presume, for though there are many wonderful searching aids in Second Life™, none of the doors at Governor Linden's Mansion are actually marked. Nudity is discouraged at the mansion, but that didn't deter me from my mission. Still, I had to be careful;  I've never gotten the impression that all Torley's cousin's were quite as friendly as he, so I was anxious not to get pinned down by the wrong Linden. Eventually I did find the correct door and popped my head in. Torley's office is a lot bigger on the inside than you ...
