Strawberry Singh asks us to make our avatars into movie characters

I clearly missed my calling in life as an actor. Not only do I play one in Second Life (Romeo in Romeo + Juliet, Eve in Paradise Lost in Second Life), but I also just love dressing up my many avatars as characters from the movies and television series. It was with delight that I read […]

Looking ahead to 2015 in Second Life

I don’t need a calendar event like New Year’s Day to motivate my planning muscles because I’m a planner by nature. I do, however, see the start of a new year as a useful ‘line in the sand’. A calendar year is a handy unit to measure our lives by, so it’s as a good a time as any […]

Best wishes for the holiday season

Two of Diamonds

A few weeks ago, Vanessa Blaylock, promoter of Virtual Public Art in Second Life, and Editor behind the still going strong iRez Salon, asked me – and 53 other virtual world denizens – to create a selfie playing card for a 2014 Avatar Selfie Card Deck. And it’s now time to pass out the cards! Come to the party, […]

“I’m going to give you some tough love here, Missy”

Every Wednesday I choose a topic for the Basilique Chat Salon. About a dozen people gather to discuss it over 2 hours. This week’s subject was Creativity – where does it come from, and where does it go, when it seems unavailable? This is the fourth part of that conversation. In case you’re hopelessly lost, here […]

Maligned ducks, nasty reviews, and the pressure to create

Every Wednesday I choose a topic for the Basilique Chat Salon. About a dozen people gather to discuss it over 2 hours. This week’s subject was Creativity – where does it come from, and where does it go, when it seems unavailable? This is the second part of that conversation. In case you’re hopelessly lost, […]

Creative blocks, untamed monsters, and other obsessions

Every Wednesday I choose a topic for the Basilique Chat Salon. About a dozen people gather to discuss it over 2 hours. This week’s subject was Creativity – where does it come from, and where does it go, when it seems unavailable? I wasn’t sure how this topic would go because I handled it differently […]

The Mean Reds

Holly Golightly: You know those days when you get the mean reds? Paul Varjak: The mean reds, you mean like the blues? Holly Golightly: No. The blues are because you’re getting fat and maybe it’s been raining too long, you’re just sad that’s all. The mean reds are horrible. Suddenly you’re afraid and you don’t […]
