True story: A few years back, there was an impending family reunion and my mom said to me, “Hmm, do you remember that branch of my family that never attends these reunions? Everybody always gossips about them because they aren’t there. Well, I found out why.” I waited for her to go on. Finally she sighed and said, “It’s because they’re always on the road. They all joined a traveling carnival and they’re on the road all spring and summer, into the fall.” I was still boggling over this when she added, “Apparently they winter in Orlando. I guess that’s nice.” I regained some resemblance of composure and said, “Mom! We have carnies in our family!” A slightly pained expression crossed her face. I could only manage to say, “But that’s awesome!” She sighed again, more heavily. I’m still trying to figure out how I can catch the traveling show some summer. (Small town carnivals are an experience like no other–remind me to tell you about Rat Roulette.) But I’m not supposed to talk about it. Hey, my dad had a great-great-great-uncle or some such who was hanged as a horse thief. I guess there’s a skeleton in every family closet. (more…)

For those who have been hiding under a rock SL turns 4 years old this week. During all of our careers there have been many ups and downs – n’est-ce pas? – as we all go through our own growing pains in this surreal virtual space.
Within this anniversary week so much is in development or has occurred in the realm of culture relating to the Men’s Second Style blog as well as resident lifestyle in general.
Face of Asia Model Competition. Anyone who can coax those sliders in appearance mode to create a beautiful or handsome Asian shape is encouraged to enter this cultural modeling contest brought to us by the Asian Designers Summit. Contest guidelines can be found at the Women’s Second Style blog or by visiting the Men’s Second Style office, Casa Del Shai, Earthtones Boutique, Muse or Nicky Ree’s Boutique in-world. Face of Asia is open to all residents. Round 1 submissions close June 27, 2007 at midnight SLT.
Nora Body Skins by Sezmra Svarog. Since she teased audiences in mid-April with a sneak peak of her new generation of male skins in development I have been eagerly awaiting the release of her skins. This week, Sezmra displayed a more detailed vision of her skins – each appealing to a different segment of skin consumers: the toned “Hunter” and the svelte “David”. Nora is also offering up some SL4B freebies @ her shop and promises a rehaul of her store and sim.
Second Love Magazine. Tya Fallingbridge and Daphne Molinari announce this week the launch of Second Love Magazine on July 1, 2007. Second Love will be monthly PG publication covering a variety of issues affecting straight and gay residents whether in single, coupled or friendship relationships. The magazine will be accessible in-world and online. The launch party is set for July, 1st @ 7 P.M. SLT game time at Schmooze, Pixel Dreams (12, 146, 21).
As a reminder, if you are aware of any new designers or products that you discover during the week and would like to see included in this segment please look me up and IM me in-world.
