Oh Boi!

A friend of mine, Temoren Drathman, is a respected artist and a staffer at Oh Boi! Magazine, an in-world publication dedicated to "the strong and beautiful lesbian lifestyle" and I thought she was kidding when she asked if a reporter could contact me to do an article about me for the magazine. Maybe I have a wee bit more vanity than the average girl (or way lots more ... dunno), figuring it would really be just a short bit to tie into the feature covering Janeforyou Barbara, owner of the Isle of Lesbos and my boss, so I said "yes." As I spoke with Indygo Criss, the reporter, it dawned on my that this was going to be more than a sidebar.

Lo and behold! It's a feature! Check it out on the Web, starting on pages 20-21. The pre-interview questionnaire I filled out was rather geared toward in-world merchants, but Indygo drew out much more during our one-on-one and the piece became more than just about what I build or where I work. It grew into a profile filled with information I don't exactly hide, but that I don't wear on my sleeve, either. Who says therapy doesn't work?

I'm rather happy with the piece. And it does compliment the feature about my boss (starting on pages 12-13). Another bit that tickles me is that pictures I took for the spread are featured. Would I do something like this again, though? Probably not. Even with my vanity I'd say this has been enough fame.

SL7B: The Isle of Lesbos

The Isle of Lesbos is at the Second Life Birthday celebration for the third year in a row and once again features art, but this time the pieces come from within the Isle sisterhood as part of the event theme of Unexpected Collaborations. Also featured is a nice swing nestled in a fantasy meadow that has a great view of the surrounding builds. If you want to relax, cool off with one of the lagoon's floaty toobs. These are free to copy as is some of the art that is on display.

Of course, the art is the focus and below, in order, are some previews from Temoren Drathman, Airethilien Banach, Angela Seale, and Jenshae Werefox.

Some of my art is on display, too, and I have to put in the disclaimer that I built the exhibit, too. I would have had a much harder time, though, if it weren't for my wonderful wife and Build Assistant, Angela Seale.

The exhibit should be one of the many fine builds listed in the official Destination Guide (Web) but check out official SL7B blog (Web) for information about the whole event.
