SLCN.TV's Live Tonight & SLindy Hopping Machinimas

by Maar Auer

All rightie! Right after the rezzday party - btw, a HUGE thanks to all who showed up, it was a blast, what a fantastic evening! - I was invited as a guest in Paisley Beebe's Tonight Live Show in SLCN.TV . Now you can watch the entire episode here in SLCN.tv's pages. There was the lag of the century, you remember that dark and stormy night two weeks back... So forgive the at times jittery camera, SLCN staff made miracles just managing to pull the show through *raises her hat in awe*. My part starts a bit after half way point. You will see fantastic dancers presenting first the Charleston and then the brand new SLindy Hop : My favorite 'pas de deux' -couple Yoland Hirvi and Lord Lisle were accompanied by Darleez DeCuir and Davon Westland - and the result is truly a sight for sore eyes... ;)

If you'd prefer to see only the SLindy Hopping part of the show without having to listen to my bizarre finnish-english accent, you can watch a two minute cut here, embedded from youtube.


That's it for now - more machinimas may be coming at some point, consider this a warning ;) I'll upload them in this page in Youtube, if you're interested. CU inworld, have a lovely summer & happy dancings!

Dancers outfits were kindly sponsored by Patrick Rotunno / Cartunno Couture (Yolanda's beautiful red flapper dress in Charleston and also SLindy Hop) and Artilleri (all the awesome 50's outfits in SLindy Hop).

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.

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!
