“I agree with you about the fake cops, but OTOH, it’s not clear what good ARing griefers does. They have nothing invested in the SL accounts they use to grief. I don’t equate griefing with terrorism, but like terrorists, griefers don’t care. If their account gets banned, they simply create another and carry on.” -Melissa Yeuxdoux
“I don’t get the whole SL Police thing, either. I was out exploring one day and came across a police station with 2 of them inside.. I stood around outside for a couple minutes trying to figure out if they were serious or not, and they actually came out and asked if I needed help, kind of implying that I should ‘move along’. The whole thing baffles me, but here’s a funny video I found on Youtube of an SL police force in training, and a griefer comes along.

After much resistance, Keeme and Nika both caved and joined Plurk, after abandoning Twitter. In fact, Keeme created a new group for the plurkers of SL. Search in groups for PLURKAZOIDS, or IM either Keeme or Nika for an invite. We will be moving the group to subscribe-o-matic very soon, so as not to take up people’s group spots. The idea of the group is to organize parties and meet-ups within SL, and to just have fun.

IyF - 4 - The Far Away
In a land far, far away…. well. Union, Illinois certainly SEEMS far away. But it’s really just a teleport away, or rather, a really cool build inspired by it is. It’s called the Far Away and it’s by AM Radio. With lots of interactivity, plenty of wheat, and blue dragonflies, there’s nothing about it that’s not interesting or fun or cool or… you get the idea. It’s one worth seeing. See how much someone can do with a little.
Some of the works seen in the build are for sale to benefit hunger via heifer international. Oh, yeah, it has a cool choo-choo.

Unless you’ve been hiding under a rock, you’ve heard about Second Life’s Relay for Life. The Relay is SL’s big charity drive for the American Cancer Society, and this year it kicked off with a huge clothing fair that began this past Monday. Today, we’re going to talk about the RFL Clothing fair, including the fashion shows taking place during the fair. We’re also going to talk about another show coming up that we hope will be the start of an exciting series!
GBDT - 19 - The One that got Away
No, the title of the show doesn't refer to our guest, TheDiva Rockin. It refers to the show itself. An interview with TheDiva is a lot of fun and very entertaining, but I can't remember what we were supposed to talk about. Perhaps it had something to do with her being the chief of Second Life's Fashion Police.
She's certainly seen her share of fashion "don'ts" on the grid, and she shares them with us in her blog SL Fashion Police. Sometimes the fashion faux pas are funny, sometimes they're raunchy, sometimes they're just plain wrong.
In any case, watch what you wear so that you don't get ticketed by TheDiva's crew!
GBDT - 18 - ZOMG! It’s caLLie cLine
On this episode of Going Broke, we spoke with one of Second Life's most famous avatars, caLLie cLine. Not only does she design clothing and furniture for her own store, caLLie cLine, she was also named one of Maxim magazine's Hot 100, and she worked with Pontiac on Motorati Island. With a schedule like caLLie's, we were sure grateful that she could take the time to talk with us.
Not one to read fashion blogs, caLLie designs what she likes, and has built a very loyal following doing just that. Her designs are fun, flirty, feminine, and quite colorful — not for the shy!
Join us as we learn about caLLie's journey through Second Life, and find out what she has planned for the future!

Daphne and I decided to do another fashion challenge, only this time we chose each other’s item around which to build three unique outfits. For me, Daphne chose SLink Boutique’s Leather Jacket in Blood. For Daphne, I chose Ingenue’s The Pencil Skirt, and she chose the Aubergine one.
Daphne was unaware that I had already blogged SLink’s Leather jacket in Toffee. I chose a semi-office-proper look that paired the jacket with SLink’s own Mid Thigh skirt. I also wore Enkythings‘ Pinson boots; Argyle’s Emily Velvet scarf; Miriel’s Beatrice earrings; Sheer’s Lace Mesh stockings; Fleur’s Vivant Feline skin; and ETD’s Luth hair.
Daphne’s first outfit is a cute date outfit. She paired Ingenue’s skirt with the Crocheted shrug and ANALU Silk top from MG Fashions. She also chose Sheer’s Nylons with Leaves; Maitreya’s Slinky stilettos; Muse’s Dauphine necklace and earrings; ETD’s Davinia II hair; and Layniewear’s skin from Another Fundraiser.
My second outfit was inspired by the shape of the jacket. I figured that since it looked like a biker jacket, I’d go for a chic biker look. I wore LF Fashions‘ Isabeaux Leather pants (on the underwear layer) and Shiny Things‘ Flowered Biker boots (the plain version). I accented my outfit with Dark Eden’s Harness belt; Artilleri’s Funky scarf (in leopard); Eat Me’s Aviator Goggles; Fleur’s gloves; ETD’s Wynn hair; and Tuli’s S5 Rebel skin.
Daphne’s second outfit is a fun party-girl outfit. She wore Hiccup’s Ruffly vest; Simply Spoiled’s Pearl choker and Pearl Knotted string; Maitreya’s Chichi shoes; Diversity’s Emmy hair; and Fleur’s Feline skin.
For my last outfit, I went for a sleek, fashionista look. I took a trip to Armidi for their Rainy Day dress and Kyoto boots. Then, I put on my Fashionably Dead Ultimate Bug Eye glasses that remind me so much of a pair of Chanel sunglasses that I would kill for in real life; my Paper Couture Boulevard bag and Vintage Black earrings; Creamshop’s plain tights; Calla’s Black Poplar hair; and Blowpop’s Mellie3 Dear Brigitte skin (soon to be released).
Finally, Daphne’s last outfit was more of an urban look. She wore Pushbutton Industries‘ Renfield turtleneck; Civvies‘ Wooly Holey socks; Artilleri’s Pyramid belt; Shiny Things’ Oxfords; Cake’s Wish hair; and Chai’s Midnight skin.
Next time we do a Fashion Challenge, we’d like you, our listeners, to get involved! Please suggest items for us to use! You can reach both of us in-world, or reach us by email at daphne.abernathy@gmail.com or tamara.kirshner@gmail.com.
