Avilion is a medieval/fantasy role-playing sim, and I thought I'd go for a visit today. I had a great time and ended up playing the elven drums as Lady Serra danced. I had a great time and I'm looking forward to going back! While in Avilion, I visited their store Avilion Mist, and ended up on the top for a rooftop view.
Greetings! I rather liked the look of the blue & white dress so much that I created a black version to wear as I continued my Victorian explorations. Tonight I went to Caledon Moors, complete with ghosts and fog and eerie graveyards. I also headed over to the Victorian steampunk sim of Babbage Square/New Babbage, where you may see me above playing the piano and organ at their conservatory.
Here I am at the sim for the real life Pueblo Ingles program.
I used to love classic Victorian novels, so when I found Caledon, I knew I'd like it. Caledon is composed of more than 14 linked sims, all with the theme of 19th c. Victorian life. I love visiting here, and thought I'd make a dress just to do so! The house behind me reminds me of so many of the houses that are in my RL home. Tonight I was in Victoria City, which is one of the main sims of Caledon.
Attended a Photoshop clothing class today at NCI. That's all of us wearing our avatar map templates by Robin Wood (used to correctly place and map clothing while creating them).
Here's a photo of me taken by Brace Coral, who teaches a great basic clothing creation class. She's wild and funny, so I didn't pass up a chance to go salsa dancing, which is one of my favorite things to do in SL! She's part of the Linxter crew and you can find her themed parties at Usability Island, usually on Tuedays and Fridays.
I love architecture and to me, SL has such potential in terms of replicating RL architecture for all of us to be able to easily visit. Tonight, I visited Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater (Kaufmann House). Here is a link to more info about the original.
I'm not a particularly religious type in real life, but remember, I love the quiet contemplative places here in SL that I come across in my wanderings as much as anywhere else.
Sage Duncan led a demonstration of traditional world singing and percussion techniques such as throat singing and instruments like the tablas.
I was assigned the 2007 Diversity Festival, hosted by Verum's Place--a community center that hosts discussions and classes--as part of my dry run to be a reporter for Second Life News Network (SLNN). The organizer Verum Vacirca (on the right in the middle photo, with colleague Nieve Glasgow), gave me a pre-tour of the site, which included interactive displays such as a "World Tour" representing every continent. That's me rolling out tortillas!
Popped in at a costume party. That's my friend Bruce dressed as Batman. Why he has two swords I can not begin to imagine...
Visited a new place called The Abbey and heard some live music tonight...
...And then, of course, I ended up salsa dancing at Valentine Moonlight Salsa.
Here I am at the Ginsberg, another major art gallery's, popular fireworks display.
Visited a Buddhist temple today. Here I am washing my hands before entering. Took a look at the golden Buddha and meditated for a while. I picked up a free Tibetan prayer rug (complete w/incense and "Om") with me.
Being a relatively new resident, I still participate in the occasional New Citizens Int'l (NCI) event and class at NCI South (they have multiple campuses).
