Ghee

 

For today, Netera Landar writes about a women's wear store in Second Life: Ghee. Owned by Sophia Paez Serendipity, it's noted for clothes made by Warm Clarity. By joining the store group, one gets access to a number of good outfits for practically nothing. But the place offers more than bargains. Netera found some classic styles that stood out and looked great.

Cartoon of The Day: Flowery Outfit

 

 

 Taken at the Happy Vixen. Someone was sporting an outfit made to look like a poinsettia, a flower associated with Christmas. This was a punch line I couldn't "leaf" out either.

Cartoon Of The Day: Standing Tall

 

 

 There's a stereotype about the average SL resident being a seven foot blonde. While not everyone is such, there can be some big height differences between avatars sometimes. But with this lady, maybe there's something under her dress giving her a boost.

Cartoon of The Day: Coffee Kick-In

 

 

 Taken at Club Xanadu. Coffee is usually a great pick-me-up. But there are *those* days in which it seems to take forever to work.

Cartoon of the Day:

 

 Taken at the VWBPE volunteer appreciation party. The colorful rings on those retro-future dresses reminded me of something seen today, which were usually smaller. Which got me thinking of how such a dress could have come about by accident.

Reader Submitted: Stingray's Dress

Stingray Raymaker had stated if a certain fundraising goal was met, he'd take a lap around the Relay Track in a purple dress. Well, it was, and he did. And after the fact, he posted this pics in the Relay Discord group, "Proof that I paid my debt!!" And yes, he gave others the okay to use, "run with it! You all earned this one!!!"

Dress For Success

Syndra's Fashion story today is a little different than most. This time she offers advice about how to dress when looking for a job, or rather, how to look when applying for a job. Besides clothing, you also have to think about your hair, and with the development of mesh, things like one's hands are now details. These things can be even more important in adult entertainment where clothing isn't always involved.

Cartoon of the Day

Hamlet Au (James Wagner), the head of New World Notes, has been quite a rival for the SL News audience, at least in the past. Lately though he hasn't been reporting on Second Life as he once has. In April 2011, we both dropped in on a Japanese charity event, and to my surprise he was in the Japanese schoolgirl avatar. He told me he was testing the "basic mode" for newcomers on the official viewer at the time, and he somehow got stuck as a girl due to a glitch. My response was over a minute of laughing gestures, "Oh you are SO cartooned!"

So after three years, here you go Hamlet.

Tales From Podex: Dressed to Thrill

It was a typical day in late February in Cutlass. Earlier in the month, people had kept coming in to get Lindens to get something special for Valentines Day. With the holiday gone thought, people still came in, such as guys whose sweethearts were busy at the time. But Valentines Day wasn't the only reason people were getting things. And of course there were other events.

The tellers had a number of customers coming in to do business, and between people coming in found time to chat. They talked about various Valentines Day events and places, such as the Island Isle of View being available for visitors again and the various romantic-themed hunts. There were also people starting new businesses, a little more confident after Linden Labs had gotten a new CEO, and needed capital to help fund their efforts.

While they were talking, a visitor came in. This was a female with dark hair and blue, almost purplish, eyes. She was dressed in overalls, as if planning to do some work that day. Seeing her, one of the tellers spoke up, "Hello, can we help you?"

"Yes," she spoke, "I'm going to be heading to a New Orleans place this Tuesday with some friends for the Mardi Gras, and well, I need some cash to get something a little more ... partyish than this."

"Oh, well we can certainly help with that. What currency will you be exchanging for the Lindens?"

"Oh, just good 'ol American dollars."

"Certainly. Just fill out these forms here."

She went up to the desk, and began taking care of the paperwork, "Maybe there is one other thing. My friends want me to check out this place called 'InWorldz,' but I don't want to be without spending money there as Lindens won't be good there."

"No problem. We recently opened an office there. Just head over there to exchange global currencies over there just as people come here to exchange them for Lindens."

It didn't take long to process the paperwork, and soon the Lindens she wanted were hers, "Thank you for your business, please come back again soon."

"You're welcome. It'll be nice wearing a party dress for a change. Oh, the guys tell me half the girls are going topless anyway, that bare breasts for beads stuff. But that stuff ain't me. If I want some northern exposure, I'll head to a Canadian area."

They exchanged a few chuckles, and the woman went on her way.

The Podex Exchange is located at the Coda sim at (45, 218, 61), with a website at http://www.podex.info/. Jacek Shuftan is the CEO.
