Images from the clothing fair

And so the Relay for Life Clothing Fair 2010 has ended. It has been a great event and the organizers have done an awsome jobs. The sims creators put together some impressive work for this year theme : the fashion capitals ot the word. Here are some of the images I took: Milan, Rio, London, Melbourne, Paris, New Delhi, Tokio and New York, in the order.

I love the fair. Despite the lag and the undeniable feeling of being overwhelmed I think it is worth to spend time there and share the experience of so many talented SL creators, both for what concerns the clothes and the sims.

And as a side note,  the following picture of mine won the 2010 Clothing Fair Photo Contest (Male)

Some Images from the Winterfell Privateers Party

It was a funny event, with some great music from Miss Poppy and it was wonderful to see so many ships flying the Winterfell flag close to one another !

the Relay for Life Clothing Fair 2010

And it is that time again ! The Second Life Relay for Life Season has started. And traditionally, the first big event of the season is the Clothing Fair.

This year the organizers have done an impressive job: the theme of the fair is the fashion capitals of the world.

Here are a few images of the first sim I visited: Milan. There is an impressive replica of the Galleria, and you can take my word for that. I do not live very far from the real thing ! ;)

I already know that I will end the week, much .. much poorer! 
But it is a good cause  :))

Primtings Photo Contest



The Primtings Museum is unique in SL. It was born to explore how traditional 2D art can be directly adapted to the virtual world of Second Life by different SL artists. Primtings presents innovations in virtual world avant-garde art with each exhibit adding more than just a new 3rd dimension, but often also interactivity, and interpretations only possible in the virtual world, as envisioned by a range of master new media artists.

The Museum is currently running a photo contest, hosted by koinup, having as a subject the museum itself and the art displayed there.

In the widget above it is possible to see the list of work entered so far, with some great interpretations.

The deadline of the contest has been estended to the 21st of March, so , there is still a lot of time to visit the museum and enter the contest.

Some images from the Tradewinds Yacht Club Boat Builders Show

I am rather later blogging about this, since the event has closed by now, but I think it is still worth to give the people of the Tradewinds Yacht Club the due credit for being so much active in the sailing community.

the Tradewinds YC Boat Builders Show


The latest event that the YC organized was the Boat Builders Show, where many new or work in progress creations had the opportunity to be shown a a large audience.

The pivotal event of the show was surely the release of the opensource BWind engine by Becca Moulliez, a new sailing engine available for all to try.

The show has now ended. But a visit to the TYC is still worth, because these days they have on display the beautiful Schooner Ernestina, by RJ Kikuchiyo, which has already been the star of previous boat shows but it is always very nice to admire and visit, thanks to the exceptional detail of her >1600 prims (which also explains why it is so rare to see her rezzed)
