Visiting Prim Perfect Halls on the SL5B Exhibition

by Darleez DeCuir

Happy 5th Birthday Second Life! The SL5B two weeks’ celebration and exhibitions all over the SL5B sims are worth of visiting. The SL5B exhibitions are open until 6th July, so hurry! Well, Metaversal Arts does not have its own exhibition area, but there are lots of fabulous and exiting things to see. We warmly recommend you to visit at least the Prim Perfect’s one at SL5B Hippos. If you look carefully, among other interesting and beautiful creations you might see there something familiar from Metaversal Arts too!

When you enter the Prim Perfect Hall you get an Exhibition Catalogue and a notecard telling all the details about the exhibition and what all the settings are about. In the courtyard you can find a Prim Perfect vendor, just take your own copy of the magazine for free! There is also a wonderful wish fountain, seating arrangements from Maxwell Graf of Rustica and Gwen Carillon of Elements in Design. I have Gwen’s DeVine in my own garden too and I can tell you that this is the seat I sit in most when I’m in my garden.

SS Galaxy - Queen of the Sagittarian Sea

by Darleez DeCuir

SS Galaxy, anchored in the Sagittaria Estate, celebrated its 1 year anniversary in June 21st – 22nd 2008. SS Galaxy is a creation of architect Bill Stirling - it is the only full size, full scaled, and full featured virtual cruise ship in Second Life. It spans 3 sims with more than 8 decks of fun and entertainment.

Read more about the ship and the activities it has to offer on the SS Galaxy website.

As I currently hold a position as a Stage Manager on the Meta Makeover Show (for SLCN TV) production team, I was honoured to celebrate the 1 year anniversary as a VIP Ticket holder on board together with the Prim Perfect Publications staff. Thanks to the whole team for this wonderful experience, and especially to Saffia Widdershins, the CEO of Prim Perfect Publications, Editor of the Prim Perfect Magazine and Hostess of the Meta Makeover Show who invited her staff to celebrate this magnificent event.

Saffia Widdershins, Davon Westland, Kittie Munro, Darleez DeCuir, Matelisse Criss and Perry Applemoore ready to celebrate in the Black and Gold Gala featuring Paisley Beebe Trio.

During the anniversary weekend there were also lots of fun stuff on board; fireworks, skeet shoot competitions, helicopter rides around the ship and more. And what did I dare, yes – take the helicopter ride…

Here we fly and admire the gorgeous views!

After the helicopter ride I was enjoying a wonderful concert, Mia Maxted playing and singing live in the Zodiac Ballroom.

Well done Galaxy, I hope many more years to come for this luxurious ship. I also want to thank the friendly and helpful staff I met there. I am so going to visit The Galaxy soon again and encourage you to do that too!

Me and Meta Makeover today in TV!

by Yolanda Hirvi

Meta Makeover? Huh?
SLCN (Second Life Cable Network) has joint it's forces with Prim Perfect magazine and created a reality show that is shown every other Sunday at 12 pm SLT. The idea is that in each show, they take a house and make it over by one or more designers - who might tackle a room each, or a floor, or a garden. The designers will be interviewed about why they’ve made the choices that they have - with the delighted (or appalled) owner having a chance to say what they love or loathe about their new home. The show is presented by Editor of Prim Perfect Magazine; Saffia Widdershins.

Well guess who is the designer in the show today? It's me!
I decorated a fisherman's cottage in Orkney Islands, and boy did I fell in love with those sims! My part with Saffia was taped couple of days ago and today owner of the house Solanghe Sarlo and owner of the Orkney sims Tim Mersereau will be live in the studio. You are welcomed to join to live audience (but please be there at least 15 minutes earlier). And there is also a small gift bag waiting for you. So tp to the SLCN studios in Northpoint and see how the tv-show is done in SL-style!
How to watch SLCN ?
Easiest way is to go to the web page here. You can also watch the old editions of Meta Makeover there.
