UNDER THE SEA EXPO by Oceania Breedables
A beautiful mermaid flicks her tail in exasperation as she reads over a piece of paper.
“What was Mishell thinking? I need that necklace for the dance! But I don’t have time to play these games. I have to get ready!”
Spotting you out of the corner of her eye, she waves you over. “I need this necklace for the dance tonight. Please help me get it back.”
Before you can respond, she is already back to combing her hair. You look down at the piece of paper.
The Lost Pearls of Hanalei
Alina’s little sister Mishell thinks she’s been spending too much time in the Mermaid Palace and not enough time swimming in the sea where they live. To lure her out of the palace, she’s taken Alina’s favorite pearl necklace and hidden the pearls in some of her favorite underwater spots! Alina is busy preparing for a dance and she needs that necklace. Will you help her get it back?
DETAILS
Hunters will visit the starting location on the Expo Sim. By clicking the starting shell, they will be taken on a guided tour around the sim in search of Alina’s Lost Pearls!
Every Under The Sea Expo Exhibitor has donated a prize to this event! Hunters may not skip ahead to find their prizes! One Prize per Avatar! Happy Hunting

Second Life – Looking Forward, Looking Back
Second Life turns 10! Let’s look at where we came from:
How long have you been in Second Life?
What have you been doing since you got here?
I logged into the Second Life grid in December 2007. Looking back and trying to recall my 1st impressions :
Lost most of the time. Sometimes frustrated. Totally in awe and fascinated!
I was going to wear one of Harper’s avatars but the state of the grid today made me leary, sooooo , I dug out some early photos to share.
This blog is so much a part of my avatar history, I owe that to my friend Alianna Logan. who pushed me to blog when I started to work for Opium Fashions and photoLIFE, and now operates a very busy blog feed herself! DesigningSL * BloggingSL * HuntingSL * LivingSL
I’ve been blessed to meet and work with some fabulous photographers and Second Life Artists!
It was an amazing time for me, I met some wonderful people, made some great friends and the really cool part, it is global!
There have been runways, magazine covers, store ads, and above it all there was fun and great people.
I spent a ton of time here learning :
and later as an instructor. I still direct new avatars to NCI.
I did the Mentor thing too, that was awesome!
I kissed a Linden once !
And searched for the Lindens Halloween Bear in the Cornfield!
I’ve been a huge Second Life music fan girl too! Guess who my favorite singer is !
The HAPPIEST day of my Second Life?
We partnered and partnered, and run a very successful Second Life business.
4 years and I have been thrilled by every moment.
I am also very fortunate to work as business manager for Stefan Buscaylet, creator of LUMIPro.
I am a staff photographer at BUSTed, which I love doing. The models and the others on staff are a great group !
So that is my Second Life to date! Looking back is fun and looking forward to even more fun!
So , that is my Second Life evolution. I know I’ve left tons out but this blog and my flickr are the memories of my Second Life.
Doing this post has made me smile!
Happy SL10B to you all !
Sometimes You Are Never Sure
If leaving a review really makes a difference. Of course I imagine all designers want to get glowing reviews on their products . Last month I blogged this really adorable outfit from Marketplace by !Soul.
What was not to love? It’s super cute fun and flirty, appliers were included, mesh and I did not have to adjust my butt for it too fit! The price was unbelievably a good bargain and it included boots as well.
Now as much as I loved this and was completely happy, the boots did not fit. I went and left a review.
Monday I logged in and the creator , Shannon Byron, not only dropped me a very nice note card but she also dropped me an entirely reworked product!
Boots now with re size!
Soul Mesh Mini Skirt-Mesh Boots-Lolas TangoShirt Navy pink.
You will receive:
- Template top ( can be worn with lolas or without) ;
- Lolas tango appliers huds for top;
- Mesh Mini Ruffle Skirt in 6 standard size options X X S, XS, S, M, L, XL;
- Mesh Boots in 3 standard size S, M, L ;
- Unrigged Mesh Boots (with resize menu);
- 3 alpha layers: just for skirt, just for boots and one which includes both (skirt, boots);
The items comes normal and in bright!
I was really always happy with the outfit, the quality is super, her work is good and her prices make shopping her store really favorable! The fact that she paid attention to her reviews, took the time to make her product better and was kind enough to drop me a complete fixed outfit makes me a very happy and very regular future customer!
Thank you Shannon!
I suggest you take a look, if you have not yet at her stores on Marketplace and in world.
Assis Gallery Sponsored by LUMIPro Presents
15th June @ 12PM SLT
Dress in costume !
Your theme for this opening is Rocky Horror Picture Show!
Gallery Assis hosts some of the BEST in Second Life.
Your artists are :
Burk Bode – “Neon”
Pablo Picasso said “Everything you can imagine is real.” He is right. Living in a world that is completely created from scratch just by the imagination of its residents you experience this. A place where you can invent yourself new every day and for a creative person a place where you MUST create yourself new every single day.
Whiskey Monday “Someone Else’s Light”
Exploring the idea of personal space, this series was shot in other people’s homes. The feeling of vulnerability while standing nude in someone else’s space was surprising. I’m thankful for those who opened their homes to me.
Gregor Tenk “Shoegasm”
A series dedicated to women’s obsession with shoes. What is this fascination with shoes, why the obsession? I’m a man and can offer no insight into the mind of a woman, nor would I ever dare to, but I can tell you there is nothing more pleasing then to see my woman in a new pair of shoes, the instant sex appeal of her freshly found confidence. Maybe it’s the heels, making her taller that instills the confidence when a new shoe is slid on. maybe it’s knowing it’s something new, an accessory to compliment the natural beauty? I have no clue, but this series is for woman, their shoes & the men that love them.
Floraclayflower Beeswing “Pulvarized – Part 2″
http://www.flickr.com/photos/floraclayflower/9028474079/
The story of a male embracing, dancing and slowly loosing himself and his identity into a cloud of dust. Finally he disappears completely. Nothing is left but an idea, a faint colour, a possibility. Out of that something re-assembles. A figure heaves and shakes and feels it’s way back out, but the body that emerges is the body of a woman.
My SL10B Newbie Makeover
Remember Ruth? She was the mother of us all. And she leads off this challenge I am issuing for SL10B and SL’s Tenth Birthday.
KT Syakumi, one of the co-leads of SL10B Community Celebration, asked me to sort out some of the library avatars she had found in a dusty archive. I couldn’t help but box them up, “advertise” their fine features and have a little fun.

Marianne is a delight to speak with. I have always found her to be someone who both takes Second Life™ seriously as well as playfully. That’s a sophisticated feat to pull off.
