Living Lights for Neko

Animations Rising released a Neko Tail and Ears set at the request of many Neko fans. This set comes with both pieces which work in conjunction with the Living Lights sets and responds to the set HUDs. If you prefer, the set can be worn separately and still adjusted with any of the other HUDs. Like all other Living Light sets, the tail and ears can be customized by color, speed, intensity and other options. It's a must-have addition for those Neko clubbing nights.

The two signs for for October are Libra and Scorpio. The weight of the scales and the sting to follow.

LIBRA

Libra is the only inanimate sign of the zodiac, all the others representing either humans or animals. Many modern astrologers regard it as the most desirable of zodiacal types because it represents the zenith of the year, the high point of the seasons, when the harvest of all the hard work of the spring is reaped. There is a mellowness and sense of relaxation in the air as mankind enjoys the last of the summer sun and the fruits of his toil. Librans too are among the most civilized of the twelve zodiacal characters and are often good looking. They have elegance, charm and good taste, are naturally kind, very gentle, and lovers of beauty, harmony (both in music and social living) and the pleasures that these bring.

SCORPIO

Scorpios are the most intense, profound, powerful characters in the zodiac. Even when they appear self-controlled and calm there is a seething intensity of emotional energy under the placid exterior. They are like the volcano not far under the surface of a calm sea, it may burst into eruption at any moment. But those of us who are particularly perceptive will be aware of the harnessed aggression, the immense forcefulness, magnetic intensity, and often strangely hypnotic personality under the tranquil, but watchful composure of Scorpio. In conventional social gatherings they are pleasant to be with, thoughtful in conversation, dignified, and reserved, yet affable and courteous; they sometimes possess penetrating eyes which make their shyer companions feel naked and defenseless before them.

Attol "OZ" Outback Sim : UMMMM Has Hit Again !

Will Ummm Kazan ever get tired of building? Apparently not. He's done it again, producing a new sim inspired by the Australian Outback. I gather he got tired of seeing inaccurate builds representing his home country, so he decided to express himself in this theme and throw in his particular insight into his own country using his much acclaimed talent as a builder.

Sims are about simulating the look & feel of a world with all of its components: terrain, construction, sound and effects. Ummm is inspired by towns in the wide-open space of the Outback. Space. There's lots of it. from eroded hills to open desert and the intricate shoreline. The town itself gives you the feeling it's temporary, built with what could be found or made locally--wood, or what can be recycled: bricks, sandstone and galvanized roofing. You get the feeling of a turn of the century installation (20th) built maybe for miners extracting ore, where all the inhabitants arrived in a short time-span. You even expect to come across Crocodile Dundee or Midnight Oil, at any corner. This is their Australia and Ummm has depicted it with great mastery, talent, respect of the land, unobtrusive architecture and usage of local resources.



I spent some time watching all the domesticated animals (hearing the hens crow - or was it a cock?) and wildlife (cockatoos, dingos, rabbits & roos...) and the typical Aussie Outback vegetation, which is rare in SL; the use of shadow is to be seen. There are loads of places to visit in and outside the town: events and live groups will be held in the local concert hall. The mayor's house -I don't know who he is yet - will stage exhibitions and receptions. Or you can get your beachwear and head to the shores, where the mix of colors becomes that little bit more magical - there's a zen grotto (Ummm says this depicts the Asian influence in Australia), places to sit, relax, watch the dolphins, swim, surf, kayak or even scuba-dive. This sim is clearly thought out and designed for discovery, chance encounters, events, or just sheer isolation. Ummm has managed to provide all that with just 3750 prims, which really shows his architectural and building skills. And if by chance, there's a radio on, don't you just love that accent? I do.

The building is on-going, I don't think Ummm ever stops, always finding details to tune-up. The overall impression is very striking in its color, intelligent prim usage and coherent building. What it needs now is to be used, so get down there, look around or even rent a place in this secluded original setting--there won't be many opportunities open.

If you want a truly original Aussie Outback experience, this is it! A whisper of the Outback lands--earth, water, wind and fire, aboriginal dreaming, sounds of the night--Attol is all of these things and more. "Come," she whispers. "Be still. The outback awaits."

As Ummm himself would say, "Ridgi didge! Blue, she will be apples :)). " Ask him for the translation.

Not Your Usual Halloween Site

While searching Second Life for Halloween sites to share, I stumbled across this unique find. Stephanie Marquez offers a site that steps away from the expected focus on gore and startle effects, instead providing a refreshing retreat with a romantic vibe. Bring that special someone to dance in the gazebo beneath the trees, cuddle in various places or kiss under the stars. Bring some friends for some great photo ops, or bring the family for some autumn fun. Even if you find yourself exploring alone, you'll find something here worth seeing. Stephanie uses a variety of decorations and activities to make this a stop for everyone, especially those ready to escape the hectic ways of this holiday.

Samurai-in-the-Storm ~ Limited Edition Release by Eshi Otawa

Wednesday 15th October ~ 4:00 PM SLT

Eshi Otawara, the renown artist whose works have been exhibited both in RL and in SL, announces her latest wearable fashion: Samurai-in-the-Storm. This will be the last limited release dress to be created under the "Chambre du Chocolat" label. Future releases will become know as the Eshi Otawara collection. This metaversal beyond haute couture dress was one of her early prim pieces of clothing creations, but was never before released, being saved for just the right timing. The dress was inspired from one of her RL paintings, which she made as her response to the destruction of hurricane Rita in 2005. From her experiences comes the courage to inspire and adorn, to delight the senses and surprise the eye; from tragedy arises beauty. All of these things come together in the designs by Eshi Otawara.

The Samurai-in-the-Storm is a rendering of a samurai spirit, and envelops the wearer in both the strength of armour (represented by the top portion of the dress) and the power of nature, as seen in the waves rising from the lower part of the dress. Raindrops caught in the wind encircle the wearer, showing the fortitude of the samurai to overcome obstacles no matter the nature of them. There is both power and softness in the dress; more a fantastical wearable art piece than what is typically seen in SL as a dress with billowy prims floating all around. This dress exudes strength from vulnerability, and will be unmistakeable to the wearer as an Eshi Otawara Original.

Only 7 of these dresses will be created; one has already been spoken for, one will be set aside for a future auction, and the remaining 5 will be made available for purchase for L$25, 000.

Eshi's creations are mostly not possible to wear in real life, which coincides well with her involvement with the NPIRL group in SL. Her designs in SL are, however, wearable, thus creating fantastic artistical experiences along with their clothing both for the wearer and the observer. Eshi's connection to fashionable art is also well known for having recently collected L$460,000 in a charity action by the Designers in Seclusion team for Relay for Life for her first SL dress, the Fishook.

Octoberville Revisited

As we wait for Ammon's spider story, I thought I'd send a reminder that the PixelTrix Team's Octoberville is hopping with still a little over two weeks left to find the 100 items in the scavenger hunt, solve the SLeuth game and bob for unsavory apples. Learn the reason why the town is overrun by various beasts and ghouls, and discover the secrets behind Professor Dalton's madness as you uncover clues hidden around the sim. This is worth a Daily revisit because it's entertainment that will keep you up all night. Oh, and there are spiders here too...

The best time to beat the lag is early in the day, but it's worth fighting lag to experience the attraction.

Upon landing, you notice signs asking you to purchase a watch. You must wear this watch to gain entry to the sim. This will ensure a fantastic journey.

Your adventure will begin with a treck across a bridge dodging a double sided blade pendulum. Don't worry, you'll make it through! You will then follow a long the path to view the most amazing art in Second Life. Only one word comes to mind when describing Black Swan.. AMAZING! A feast for the eyes and imagination, this sim is wonderfully crafted.
