SL9 Birthday

I just found out my Zindra Vortex Speed Build Challenge entry for theme "party" is on exhibit at the SecondLife 9th anniversary. My entry is being used to represent the Speed Build because it shows a strong concept can win even if the build itself is simple. I used 2 custom textures and 11 prims. You can only use 70 prims or less, must stay within the build platform space 10m x 10m, and have only 50 minutes to build once given a theme. Builds that have dirty humor, move, or are interactive usually win too. What I also love about speed build is how the winner is chosen. This is the most fair system I have come across in SL. You are voted on by the same peers you just competed against. You can't vote for yourself. You submit a vote for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place. Speed Build also is great for learning new tricks. Because of my work at Speed Build, I have been hired to build live stage sets for The Rogue, Ellie's, and Beautiful Freaks. Speed Build is a lot of fun, and even a loss is a learning experience.
Speed Build theme: Party
My idea: Political Party
Injoke: Politics and elections can be very ugly, so I wanted to do a funny twist on a political party. I have submitted bunnies to Speed Build many times, so it's a long running gag for me. My first Speed Build win as a giant white rabbit. The Bunny logo is similar in feel to the donkey and elephant logos of US political parties. The US flag is altered to more gentle looking Bunny color theme. The podium was inspired by a famous movie poster for Citizen Kane. My slogan is an allude to a famous Herbert Hoover slogan of the 1920s, but altered to a bunny theme:  "A head of lettuce in every garden, and a carrot on every plate."

RMK Gothic: Bridal Fair

(click to enlarge)
Let's face it, at some point in your SecondLife you are going to need a nice suit. I can think of no other place that excels in stylish formal wear than RMK Gothic. The RMK Gothic sim has many stores that specialize in EGA (Elegant Gothic Aristocrat) and EGL (Elegant Gothic Lolita) fashion styles that hail from Japan.

Right now you can pick up a smartly dressed late-Victorian schoolboy outfit as a gift during the Bridal Fair event. The gardens are sprinkled with many couple poses, and the chapel is open to the public for weddings. 19 Stores participating in the event are: 
■参加店舗(順序不同)■, ARice by HELLOworld, NONKO ROMANKAN, ***Ambrosia**, Gallery fumiwo, AD Creations Doll House(海外), WORLD END GARDEN, FROZEN NIGHT, NAMINOKE, :: c.A. :: chocolate atelier, *RibboN*, Driaming Maiden, +:+WTG+:+, [ni.ju](海外), nukunuku pocket, poche, Down Down Down, Crie Style, +Theater Chain+, +RokumeikaN+.
I'd like to thank Aoi, and Rokia for answering my questions and giving me a crash course in RMK style; and the lovely Ms Milk for translating, and the lively conversations about music, fashion, movies, and Tex-Mex food.

The Last Days of the DV8 store

(Click to enlarge)
When I read DV8 was closing, it was like someone telling me an icon had died. I couldn't believe it. It had to be a joke. The first lucky chair I ever tried was at DV8. I often go there to scoop up the many freebies. But sadly, it's true. The store closes Sunday the 17th, and then the DV8 in-world store is gone. So grab your girlfriend, cyber goth buddy, or neko pet, and take them to DV8. Right now everything is priced at only 50L (except hair fat packs). Gacha have all been brought back too. While you're there, don't forget to grab the freebies bag, free diadem,  free bracelets for Petites, try your luck at the Mix and Match, and the last DV8 Lucky Board prize for men is +DV8+ Nuada - Blue. DV8 will continue to exist in the marketplace albiet with only with around 30 items. For those you wondering what will happen to the epic Twisted Hunts, The Torch is reporting the Twisted Hunts will continue. And the DV8 Dreadnought Roller Derby team also plans to continue. I wish the best for all people behind DV8. The 50L sale is nice finale for a legend in Secondlife.
