Fanci's Deep Mer Mall

   

For Second Life residents interested in the more aquitic side of virtual life, one place aimed at them is the Fanci's Deep Mer Mall.

"When we opened the sim, there were to be three parts, all mermaid based - because the sim was built in honor of Fanci," Grace (GraceSWF Wrigglesworth), the head of the Safe Waters Foundation explained, "The three areas were  Residential Area, Mer Mall and the Safe Waters Foundation headquarters - sort of a full service concept. Our residential lands are always sold out. When a parcel becomes available - it rents within days. Safe Waters Foundation manages the area for the owners, and has grown to be quite a good resource. We've expanded into what we call aquatics because divers like our areas - as well as all sorts of creatures."

While the mall is made to look like "an old ruin," the build is "modern, high tech, great for fun and exploring." There's a teleport system that can take people to other places in the vicinity such as the "the Chat Pavilion, Cuddle Area, Free Merfolk tail, (and the) entrance to the mermall and residential areas."

Of the shops in the mall, "We have two of the top Mermaid AO makers at the mall already. Kami Hitoe is there,  and Tala AO. The aquatic clocks are one of my favorite shops. Tir Na Nog is there. They have lovely mer tails."

For a limited time offer, a special pricing offer is available for anyone interesting in getting a booth: two months for the price of one. The offer is valid until May 15, 2021 or until all the booths are rented (whichever happens first).

Safe Waters Foundation Meeting

 

Last week, I dropped in on a meeting of the Safe Waters Foundation. Run by Grace (GraceSWF Wrigglesworth), the organization aims to help out those whom prefer mermaid and merman avatars (or use them part of the time), such as allowing them to point out to one another events and places where they fit right in.  They also have a couple meetings a week to discuss various things. One is Wednesday at 4:30PM SL time. The other is Saturdays from 10 to 11 AM SL time.

Among the subjects talked about were the upcoming Fantasy Faire, "Start preparing and saving your Linden," a writing competition, a mer-dance that weekend, the Firestorm viewer, a photography contest that ends on March 31 (pictures have to be taken at the SWF HQ, posted on the group Flickr page, and some other rules), and some discussion about the organization itself in the near future. 

For those looking for more information about the group, check out their webpage: http://www.goldmermaid.com/SWF/ . They also hold some Relay events, so one may run across some merfolk in one.
