LETTER FROM THE EDITOR<br />

Welcome to the first issue of <strong>360</strong> <strong>GRADI</strong>, the magazine in Italian<br />

and <strong>English</strong> on Second Life, readable both on Yumpu and inworld<br />

wearing it as HUD.<br />

I thought of a magazine that would be quickly accessible to<br />

anyone and, at the same time, interactive.<br />

I am sure that <strong>360</strong><br />

<strong>GRADI</strong> will evolve<br />

together with its<br />

contributors and<br />

readers, creating a<br />

community that loves<br />

to read, that is curious<br />

and attentive to new<br />

things, eager to share<br />

information, and that,<br />

above all, helps each<br />

other.<br />

The respective link accompanies any reference to places, people,<br />

and objects, also clickable by HUD, which will give the reader the<br />

possibility to zip, open a web page, pick up an item, watch a video,<br />

and much more.<br />

I believe that the usability of a magazine on Second Life directly<br />

inworld is the key to effective communication and can be the<br />

beginning of creating a community that loves to confront, discuss,<br />

and grow together.<br />

I’m sure that <strong>360</strong> <strong>GRADI</strong> will evolve together with its contributors<br />

and readers, creating a community that loves to read, that is<br />

curious and attentive to new things, eager to share information,<br />

and that, above all, helps each other.<br />

I could conclude with the classic phrase that you read everywhere:<br />

“no drama,” but I think it is taken for granted and that those who<br />

read me know it all too well. <strong>360</strong> <strong>GRADI</strong> aspires to a constructive<br />

community and not demolishing the projects and ideas of others.<br />

I can afford an exceptional team of collaborators who, I can assure<br />

you, are seriously committed to this communicative project.<br />

I also expect collaboration from readers. I would like the were<br />

an active part, suggesting, commenting, and expressing their<br />

thoughts. I want to thank all those who have supported us on<br />

social networks by spreading the news of the <strong>360</strong> <strong>GRADI</strong> birth.<br />

Happy reading, for now, I hope to have your news soon!<br />

WELCOME<br />

<strong>360</strong> <strong>GRADI</strong> is an interactive magazine<br />

available on both YUMPU and<br />

INWORLD.<br />

VIOLET BOA<br />

My responsibilities include planning, implementing, and managing PR<br />

strategies and organizing and managing various PR activities.<br />

I use different channels to optimize the outreach and success of a<br />

campaign, with a customer-oriented focus and assured delivery that I<br />

represent unequivocally. I carry out the interests, wishes, needs, and<br />

expectations of my clients.<br />

Violet Boa,<br />

MARKETING<br />

Head Column<br />

A natural part of my work involves arranging interviews and<br />

coordination, researching and collecting opportunities for<br />

partnerships, establishing and maintaining relationships with<br />

journalists, influencers, and bloggers, and supporting the team<br />

members of my client in communicating and running a campaign.<br />

Through years of experience with social media management, which<br />

always requires excellent communication, presentation, leadership<br />

skills, and excellent organizational and time management skills, I<br />

have become self-critical and am still interested in new impulses.<br />

Learning, be it self-directed or through knowledge of apt sources, is<br />

part of the daily process.<br />

Observations and reflections (self-reflection) of the external and<br />

internal situations give me the chance to recognize problems and<br />

change them positively.<br />

I am a positive but also critical thinker and analytical problem solver<br />

who - with a lot of empathy - accepts conflicting interests, personal<br />

(in) tolerance, and others’ opinions. I am very adaptable and willing<br />

to compromise to get positive alternatives that make everyone happy<br />

and lead to the desired success.<br />

My top ten topics of interest are fine art, photography, design, digital<br />

art, music, performing arts, literature, science, mindfulness, and a<br />

positive attitude.<br />

I feel very honored and proud of the trust that Oema has placed in<br />

me and invited me in my role as PR to act for magazines from the first<br />

publication of their classy, stylish and elegant <strong>360</strong> <strong>GRADI</strong> Magazine.<br />

We have an exciting and excellent task ahead of us, and I am looking<br />

forward to it!<br />

FLORENCE<br />

AT LOW TIDE<br />

The region was built by Iska (sablina) and is the home of Gnaaah<br />

Xeltentat and Tomaso Franizzi.<br />

Among the most<br />

beautiful destinations<br />

in Second Life recently<br />

realized, certainly<br />

Florence At Low Tide<br />

stands out.<br />

The region was created<br />

by Iska (sablina) and is<br />

the home of Gnaaah<br />

Xeltentat and Tomaso<br />

Franizzi.<br />

Among the most beautiful destinations<br />

in Second Life recently realized,<br />

certainly stands out Florence At Low<br />

Tide.<br />

Maybe it’s because the style is Italian,<br />

as the name suggests, perhaps it’s<br />

because I like environments that<br />

enhance nature in a particular way, in<br />

Florence I feel at home.<br />

I confess that I had fun with the same<br />

enthusiasm as a child in making this<br />

article’s photos. Going to Florence,<br />

The creator designed Florence for photography: this<br />

is evident not only for the Flickr group specially<br />

created for the images taken there but also for how<br />

she positioned the objects that decorate the region.<br />

16 <strong>360</strong> <strong>GRADI</strong>


The visitor can<br />

walk through<br />

the region or get<br />

up in the air.<br />

listening to the<br />

environment’s sounds<br />

relaxes me as if I were<br />

really in that beautiful<br />

context.<br />

The region was created<br />

by Iska (sablina) and<br />

is the home of Gnaaah<br />

Xeltentat and Tomaso<br />

Franizzi.<br />

The region has its group<br />

for fans called the Lunar<br />

Sea.<br />

The author designed<br />

Florence for photography:<br />

this is evident not only<br />

for the Flickr group<br />

specially created for<br />

the images taken there<br />

but also for how she<br />

positioned the objects<br />

that decorate the<br />

region. The author has<br />

created angles from<br />

any perspective and<br />

angle, giving life to an<br />

autonomous scene, easy<br />

to frame, making the<br />

mind and imagination fly.<br />

The visitor can walk<br />

through the region or get<br />

up in the air: I chose to<br />

explore it on foot to allow<br />

me to catch corners that<br />

would otherwise have<br />

escaped my attention<br />

with a hurried flight.<br />

The choice of vegetation,<br />

houses, and furnishings<br />

is made with care to<br />

make the Italian setting<br />

credible.<br />

Also, the general light<br />

settings and colors’<br />

intention is convincing<br />

and facilitates the<br />

realization of beautiful<br />

<strong>360</strong> <strong>GRADI</strong><br />

The houses, in typical Tuscan style, are the<br />

splendid creations of 8f8.<br />

images, even without a<br />

particular graphic correction.<br />

If the pc allows it, I suggest the<br />

reader explore it using Black<br />

Dragon Viewer and Advanced a<br />

RenderVolumeLODFactor equal<br />

to at least 4. This correction will<br />

let you see all the meshes well<br />

without losing the definition in<br />

the distance.<br />

The landing point is located in<br />

the southern part of the region<br />

and facilitates access to the<br />

main road that allows the foot<br />

visit.<br />

The choice of vegetation, houses, and<br />

furniture is made with care to make the<br />

Italian setting credible.<br />

Walking along the dirt road,<br />

you will see the typical Italian<br />

vegetation: apple trees, grape<br />

crops, pines, firs, and many<br />

plants that have covered<br />

themselves with the colors of<br />

autumn.<br />

Bridges, little rivers, small boats<br />

left on the shore without any<br />

particular order: these are all<br />

details that make the Italian<br />

landscape credible.<br />

Besides the vegetation, the<br />

fauna is rich and relevant to<br />

the landscape: cormorants, red<br />

crown cranes, horses, rabbits,<br />

deer, and seagulls cheer the visit<br />

to Florence.<br />

Another corner of the region<br />

that I enormously appreciated<br />

is the car repair store. When<br />

my visit is empty, I hope that<br />

the author will also enrich this<br />

part of the area with details.<br />

However, I realize that being<br />

a homestead, Florence cannot<br />

18 <strong>360</strong> <strong>GRADI</strong>


host a sufficient number of<br />

primes to define it as detailed as<br />

it would deserve.<br />

The houses, in typical Tuscan<br />

style, are the splendid creations<br />

of 8f8. Ancient crumbling walls,<br />

simple but emotionally impactful<br />

home settings make Florence<br />

one of my favorite Second Life<br />

photography regions.<br />

Emblem of mental<br />

THE SIGNIFIED<br />

STRUKTURO creeps into the mind to “break the patterns,” to<br />

destroy any residual conditioning, the habit of thought, dogma, or<br />

existential referment resulting from a pre-packaged truth and not<br />

consciously chosen.<br />

Among the most exciting<br />

destinations in Second<br />

Life in September, there<br />

is, without a doubt,<br />

STRUKTURO.<br />

The creator is Tia<br />

Rungray (tialer.mimulus),<br />

Japanese, who calls<br />

himself an “artist of<br />

classical music and noise”<br />

in his profile.<br />

I confess that this is a<br />

definition that I had never<br />

heard before and even<br />

the musical art of Tia<br />

Rungray is utterly new to<br />

me.<br />

Before exploring<br />

Rungray’s destructuralist<br />

thinking, I warn those<br />

who decide to explore<br />

STRUKTURO to activate<br />

sounds: since it is a<br />

sound installation,<br />

listening is essential.<br />

As the author himself suggests,<br />

STRUKTURO is the emblem of mental<br />

deconstruction.<br />

As the author himself<br />

suggests, STRUKTURO<br />

is the emblem of the<br />

destructuring of the<br />

human mind. The very<br />

fact of uniting classical<br />

music with ferocious<br />

noise, blending them,<br />

makes us realize that<br />

the sound installation’s<br />

theme is destructuring,<br />

the antithesis of<br />

harmony, serenity,<br />

and peace of mind.<br />

The listener finds<br />

himself immersed in<br />

madness because he<br />

<strong>360</strong> <strong>GRADI</strong><br />

33


finds himself listening<br />

to splendid classical<br />

music interrupted by an<br />

annoying noise that, of<br />

course, has nothing to do<br />

with the harmony of the<br />

classical piano.<br />

What is meant by<br />

destructuring, and what<br />

does the artist want to<br />

communicate?<br />

By destructuring, we<br />

mean “the abandonment<br />

of specific structures<br />

conditioning an organism<br />

or a mental dress to give<br />

life to a more rational<br />

organization or attitudes<br />

more appropriate to<br />

the changing times”.<br />

Since the destruct to<br />

which Rungray refers is<br />

mental, the reference<br />

to mental dress<br />

abandonment seems to<br />

be the most suitable to<br />

this destabilizing sound<br />

experience.<br />

STRUKTURO creeps into<br />

the mind to “break the<br />

patterns,” to destroy any<br />

residual conditioning, the<br />

habit of thought, dogma,<br />

or existential referment<br />

resulting from a prepackaged<br />

truth and not<br />

consciously chosen.<br />

To better understand<br />

STRUKTURO, we should<br />

begin to ask ourselves:<br />

why do I behave in<br />

this way and not,<br />

for example, in this<br />

other, perfectly suited<br />

to another person?<br />

The answer will be<br />

something similar<br />

to “because I have<br />

certain values, ways<br />

of thinking, mental<br />

habits that result from<br />

years of education and<br />

experience.”<br />

I want to point out<br />

from the beginning<br />

that when we talk<br />

about mental habits,<br />

we are not referring<br />

to considerations of<br />

value, such as “I behave<br />

like this because I<br />

am a good person,<br />

while Tizio behaves<br />

like this because<br />

he is a bad person.”<br />

More than ever in this<br />

sound experience, it<br />

is essential to detach<br />

from considerations<br />

of a generic and even<br />

trivial nature like those<br />

just mentioned. Instead,<br />

it becomes imperative<br />

to open the mind to a<br />

broader vision, which<br />

also embraces the<br />

reasons for a particular<br />

way of thinking and<br />

acting. It also becomes<br />

essential, in my opinion,<br />

regardless of value<br />

evaluations, because<br />

the value is often the<br />

most tenacious anchor<br />

to mental habit.<br />

STRUKTURO is, therefore,<br />

destabilization, breaking<br />

mental patterns. The<br />

first thought that comes<br />

to my mind is the need<br />

to “break old habits of<br />

thought” in the name<br />

of an adaptation, and<br />

adaptation to a rapidly<br />

changing era. “Who stops<br />

is lost,” in short.<br />

Sometimes, I imagine<br />

how my grandparents<br />

would live today if they<br />

would adapt to modern<br />

thinking. The answer is<br />

obvious: no. I remember<br />

my grandmother, who<br />

resisted longer in life<br />

than my grandfather, not<br />

adapting to the changing<br />

times and suffering a<br />

great deal watching the<br />

news. She told me that<br />

my great-grandmother<br />

could not see the<br />

information on television<br />

because she cried as<br />

soon as she heard some<br />

crime news.<br />

So STRUKTURO suggests<br />

to adapt to the times<br />

and become insensitive<br />

opportunists, without<br />

empathy and values to<br />

follow? Here too, the<br />

answer is no. Having<br />

an open mind and<br />

understanding that<br />

34 <strong>360</strong> <strong>GRADI</strong>


there are infinite reasons<br />

behind a behavior or a<br />

way of thinking does<br />

not mean “losing one’s<br />

compass of values” to<br />

adapt to the changing<br />

times. If anything, it<br />

means broadening our<br />

empathy to embrace our<br />

understanding of mental<br />

structures that we do not<br />

share, without expiring in<br />

pure and straightforward<br />

judgment.<br />

Finally, I leave the useful<br />

references for those who<br />

want to explore more the<br />

communicative capacity<br />

of Rungray.<br />

Modern times perhaps<br />

require a broader analysis<br />

and understanding<br />

of events than our<br />

grandparents were used<br />

to do.<br />

I don’t know what<br />

impressions the reader<br />

will have. Still, after a few<br />

minutes, I had to turn off<br />

the sounds during the<br />

article’s writing because<br />

the disharmony of the<br />

noise that interrupts the<br />

classical music hindered<br />

my concentration.<br />

Tia Rungray has a<br />

interesting channel on<br />

Youtube where you can<br />

hear some of his sound<br />

works. I have chosen<br />

one that I propose here<br />

as an example of the<br />

peculiar work done by<br />

this Japanese artist.<br />

“Art does not reproduce what is visible but makes<br />

visible what is not always visible.”<br />

(Paul Klee)<br />

I don’t think that there is an absolute definition of<br />

Art. Still, this short, famous quote represents the<br />

path that I will propose in this section dedicated<br />

to Art: together we will know the artists active<br />

in Second Life and their works, we will discover<br />

the study, the conceptual elaboration, and the<br />

artistic technique that gave rise to the creations;<br />

each of us will be able to listen to the whispering<br />

stories, awaken dormant memories and provide our<br />

interpretation, find the essence that goes beyond<br />

the visible.<br />

I am sure it will be a fascinating journey!<br />

SHAPES AND EMO<br />

“The passion for photography and the<br />

curiosity of experimenting led me to<br />

create in 3D what I had done years<br />

before in 2D”.<br />

“The passion for<br />

photography and a desire<br />

to experiment led me<br />

to reproduce in 3D the<br />

artworks I made before in<br />

2D.”<br />

In this short sentence the<br />

artist expresses his entire<br />

universe, he does not need<br />

more words to describe his<br />

long artistic journey because<br />

it is really the passion<br />

that costantly inspires<br />

him and shines through<br />

his artworks; from the<br />

moment he joined Second<br />

Life, completely unaware of<br />

what this virtual world was,<br />

that seemed mysterious<br />

enough to him to suggest<br />

his own name… “Mistero”,<br />

his strong motivation<br />

towards photography and<br />

Images opened incredible<br />

52 <strong>360</strong> <strong>GRADI</strong>


TIONS<br />

horizons for him, allowed<br />

him to evolve his art to the<br />

fantastic mesh creations<br />

that we can now admire.<br />

I wish to thank Mistero<br />

for giving me the freedom<br />

to interpret his artworks<br />

by observing them, this is<br />

the true meaning of Art:<br />

to realize something that<br />

allows the observer to<br />

interpret, to imagine, to<br />

create something original to<br />

himself/herself.<br />

The digital creations of<br />

Mistero are veritable<br />

sculptures and tell countless<br />

stories: everyone can find<br />

their own story awakening<br />

memories and dormant<br />

feelings, or imagining a new<br />

one created by their own<br />

sensibility.<br />

Even the titles of his<br />

works are very evocative<br />

and are an integral part<br />

of them: they were born<br />

spontaneously or were<br />

inspired by listening to a<br />

song, as well as for the<br />

particular name of its land “I<br />

live and walk upside down”,<br />

Every detail therefore offers<br />

a reason for interest and<br />

involves the imagination.<br />

LIFE... WILL WANT TO LEARN<br />

Observing his creations we<br />

cannot remain indifferent:<br />

the essential naked bodies,<br />

white or delicately colored,<br />

that offer contrasts of lights<br />

and shadows do not allow<br />

distractions, you focus your<br />

attention on the shapes<br />

and poses that bodies take,<br />

caught in a moment of life,<br />

you are enchanted by the<br />

vision of some parts that<br />

disperse in fragments, or<br />

are chained in thin threads<br />

like cobwebs while your<br />

mind follows unexpected<br />

thoughts, your feelings<br />

awaken and reach a surreal,<br />

dreamlike dimension.<br />

The digital art of Mistero<br />

gives us emotions through<br />

the composition of<br />

evocative scenes, the<br />

enchantment of the bodies<br />

shapes and the intense<br />

expressions of faces:<br />

anger, hopelessness, pain<br />

associated with a loss or<br />

separation.<br />

It explores the essence<br />

of the human condition:<br />

loneliness, lack of<br />

communication but also<br />

encounter, passion and love.<br />

A magnificent celebration<br />

of life, grasped in all its<br />

aspects, this is therefore the<br />

art of Mistero.<br />

His artworks are exhibited in<br />

his famous gallery Digital Art<br />

- Cammino e Vivo Capovolto,<br />

Retrospect.<br />

From there, taking the<br />

teleport, you can reach the<br />

ground level where you can<br />

walk and interact with his<br />

art immersed in a charming,<br />

evocative atmosphere<br />

where water is the<br />

dominant element, reflects<br />

the shapes and caresses<br />

them with drops of rain.<br />

Recently Mistero opened<br />

another exhibition space,<br />

absolutely not to be missed.<br />

MUSIC<br />

Head Column<br />

If I were not an architect in life, I would probably be a<br />

musician.<br />

I think in music.<br />

I live my daydreams in music.<br />

I see my life in terms of music.<br />

Since 2009 in Second Life, I try to share this emotion<br />

with others.<br />

As editor and music consultant for <strong>360</strong> <strong>GRADI</strong>, I would<br />

like to shed light on an often underestimated world, but<br />

which is instead one of the main activities in the “second<br />

life.”<br />

The message in music arrives more efficiently at its<br />

destination, touching the most intimate and personal<br />

chords, without the need for other intermediaries in<br />

communication.<br />

In the variegated musical world of Second Life, I will<br />

deal with emerging artists and those who are now well<br />

established and often do not know each other well<br />

enough.<br />

I take advantage of this space to give some point of<br />

reference in the music scene of Second Life because<br />

“people consume music as if it were a handkerchief for<br />

the nose.”<br />

ALEY KAT<br />

The impeccable voice of Aley Kat cheers the<br />

evenings of many fans in Second Life. Let’s know<br />

this extraordinary voice artist better.<br />

E SINGER<br />

I consider Aley Kat one of<br />

the very few professional<br />

singers who perform<br />

inword, placing her in a<br />

hypothetical and very<br />

personal chart, certainly<br />

in the top positions.<br />

<strong>360</strong> <strong>GRADI</strong><br />

ALEY KAT<br />

SINGER<br />

Aley, with its varied and original<br />

repertoire, is always a guarantee.<br />

I have been following her in SL for<br />

several years. However, I try to find<br />

some notes out of place every evening,<br />

always she represents a confirmation<br />

without any defiance, neither<br />

technical nor interpretative.<br />

Behind a successful performance<br />

and the interpreter’s skill,<br />

there is creativity, imagination,<br />

technique, talent, and a lot of<br />

commitment.<br />

Aley Kat (aka aleylia resident)<br />

known more simply as Aley, is<br />

known and appreciated in SL for<br />

her unfailing dedication to the<br />

music she plays.<br />

In short, Aley, with its varied and<br />

original repertoire, is always a<br />

guarantee.<br />

I have been following her in<br />

SL for several years. However,<br />

I try to find some notes out of<br />

place every evening, always<br />

she represents a confirmation<br />

without any defiance, neither<br />

technical nor interpretative.<br />

I consider Aley Kat one of the<br />

very few professional singers<br />

who perform inword, putting<br />

her in a hypothetical and very<br />

personal ranking, indeed in the<br />

top positions.<br />

Anyone who reads well<br />

knows that carrying out a live<br />

performance is always like<br />

throwing yourself into fish, with<br />

74 <strong>360</strong> <strong>GRADI</strong>


So we can hear her go<br />

from the classic theatrical<br />

musical, sparkling and<br />

representative, to more<br />

intimate and sweet tones of<br />

the soft and reflective genre,<br />

from the famous cover to<br />

the less established song<br />

that seems to have come out<br />

of her writing.<br />

<strong>360</strong> <strong>GRADI</strong><br />

75


all the accompanying<br />

criticisms that often<br />

tease the listener.<br />

In attending an evening<br />

with Aley, from the very<br />

first greeting notes, you<br />

immediately feel at ease,<br />

with her irresistible<br />

giggles here and there,<br />

spontaneous and<br />

friendly, which confirms<br />

how calm she is and has<br />

fun, even before worry<br />

about making a good<br />

performance. Therefore,<br />

this naturalness affirms<br />

the goodness of her<br />

preparation, certainly<br />

made of personal safety<br />

and her remarkable<br />

discipline.<br />

But the fact she performs<br />

flawlessly isn’t enough.<br />

It is necessary to instill<br />

sensations and emotions.<br />

Indeed, misperceptions<br />

are often compensated.<br />

Her distinct voice, her<br />

tone, excites.<br />

Her repertoire, which<br />

it regularly offers in SL,<br />

often changes according<br />

to the land characteristics<br />

that hosts it.<br />

So we can hear her go<br />

from the classic theatrical<br />

musical, sparkling and<br />

representative, to more<br />

intimate and sweet<br />

tones of the soft and<br />

reflective genre, from the<br />

famous cover to the less<br />

established song that<br />

seems to have come out of<br />

her writing.<br />

I have particular<br />

parameters to establish<br />

when a singer is valid: one<br />

of these is to participate<br />

in one of her evenings<br />

and after a while, iconize<br />

the SL viewer and start<br />

doing other things on<br />

the PC, listening to the<br />

headphones.<br />

I had confirmation of her<br />

professionalism with<br />

Aley when immersed in<br />

something else I forgot<br />

I was in SL, and I felt<br />

like I was following a<br />

radio where songs by<br />

official singers and artists<br />

are generally programmed.<br />

And when I remembered<br />

to pursue instead a live<br />

singer performing in SL, I<br />

immediately came to say,<br />

“these songs looked like<br />

records!”.<br />

This one is one of my<br />

parameters of judgment.<br />

When a piece is the result of<br />

the most profound emotions,<br />

then the right “key” has been<br />

found to interpret author’s<br />

music: walking, hand by<br />

hand with the listener, on a<br />

very particular avenue of the<br />

senses, built from “single<br />

portions” music that makes<br />

the whole message.<br />

Aley’s message comes<br />

straight and without<br />

difficulty.<br />

Aley lives in the United<br />

Kingdom and is a refined<br />

artist with uncommon<br />

sensitivity, with<br />

heterogeneous sounds<br />

that have their roots in her<br />

popular tradition but with<br />

an ever-vigilant look at new<br />

trends and what the musical<br />

world offers at the moment.<br />

We at <strong>360</strong><strong>GRADI</strong> met her<br />

and pleasantly put her under<br />

pressure:<br />

Van: Aley, before starting<br />

the musical discourse, can<br />

you give us a description of<br />

yourself? Personal details,<br />

76 <strong>360</strong> <strong>GRADI</strong>


where you live, hobbies,<br />

work... what do you think<br />

about yourself?<br />

Aley: I live in the UK and<br />

I love singing in SL. My<br />

shows are scheduled in<br />

my evenings whereas<br />

for a lot of SL residents<br />

they listen to me in<br />

their afternoons (12pm-<br />

5pm SLT). When I’m not<br />

singing in SL, I really<br />

enjoy listening to other<br />

artists, playing virtual<br />

golf or games with<br />

friends or making my<br />

show outfits- playing<br />

barbie with my avatar!<br />

Van: Three adjectives to<br />

describe your singer’s<br />

work in SL.<br />

Aley: Invigorating- I<br />

always feel refreshed<br />

when I finish a show, it<br />

takes a lot of energy but<br />

it’s invigorating at the<br />

same time and clears my<br />

mind.<br />

Uplifting- My aim is<br />

to make people feel<br />

uplifted and happy both<br />

during the hour and once<br />

my show has finished<br />

(sometimes with a couple<br />

of sad musical theatre<br />

songs in the middle for<br />

balance!).<br />

Dedicated- committing to<br />

shows nearly every day<br />

for all these years takes<br />

a lot of dedication and<br />

real life does have to take<br />

a back seat sometimes<br />

for special events that I<br />

book.<br />

Van: If you were not a<br />

singer in SL, what would<br />

you be?<br />

Aley: I would probably<br />

run a venue and most<br />

likely a Sim. I don’t have<br />

the time or funds at the<br />

moment but I absolutely<br />

loved building and<br />

running a Sim, Seven<br />

Seasons, a couple of<br />

years ago with my best<br />

friend Damien.<br />

Van: When did you<br />

start singing? Do you<br />

remember what land you<br />

were?<br />

Aley: I do remember!<br />

I started in January of<br />

2016 at a place called<br />

White Satin. Amazing to<br />

think when I started I had<br />

zero idea I would still be<br />

doing it nearly 5 years<br />

later!<br />

Van: Three songs you love<br />

and why.<br />

Aley: One of my favorite<br />

songs that makes me<br />

instantly feel happy<br />

is September by Earth,<br />

Wind and Fire... as soon<br />

as I hear that intro I’m<br />

dancing in my chair. I<br />

also love singing You<br />

raise me up by Celtic<br />

Woman... the way it<br />

builds throughout the<br />

song and the message it<br />

conveys never fails to hit<br />

the spot. It’s difficult to<br />

pick a third but it would<br />

probably be a musical<br />

theatre song like With<br />

you from Ghost, Someone<br />

like you from Jekyll and<br />

Hyde or maybe All I ask<br />

by Adele. I don’t sing<br />

those songs very often<br />

because they are full of<br />

the feels but sometimes<br />

it’s really cathartic to feel<br />

the emotions through<br />

them.<br />

Van: The duet of your<br />

dreams, with whom real<br />

artist would you do it?<br />

Aley: Hmm.. I would love<br />

to sing with Michael<br />

Buble actually. He has a<br />

natural smooth quality<br />

to his voice and great<br />

tuning... I think our voices<br />

would blend well and<br />

singing some of the jazzy<br />

classics together would<br />

be awesome.<br />

Van: What do you like and<br />

what do you dislike about<br />

your SL performances?<br />

Aley: The people! I<br />

love the people that<br />

come to my shows.<br />

They are wonderful,<br />

<strong>360</strong> <strong>GRADI</strong><br />

77


loyal supporters of my<br />

singing and always<br />

make me laugh in local.<br />

They are always really<br />

friendly with each other<br />

and welcoming to new<br />

people. Honestly they’re<br />

the best thing about<br />

singing in SL.<br />

The thing I dislike is I can<br />

never hit that US evening<br />

crowd as for me it’s 3/4/5<br />

am in the morning. I’d<br />

love to be able to sing<br />

when the main crowd<br />

in SL is relaxing and<br />

listening to live music.<br />

Van: According to musical<br />

connoisseurs’ widespread<br />

opinion and not, your<br />

performances are very<br />

high in the inworld music<br />

scene. Are you aware<br />

of this, or do you not<br />

pay much attention to<br />

success?<br />

Aley: I feel extremely<br />

lucky to have the success<br />

I do in SL and I am always,<br />

always grateful to the<br />

amazing people that<br />

come and listen day after<br />

day. They support me and<br />

support the venues and<br />

keep music alive in SL. I<br />

never take it for granted...<br />

my manager and hosts<br />

will tell you I’m always<br />

nervous (still!) that no<br />

one will show up to the<br />

venue to listen and I work<br />

really hard to always<br />

deliver to the best of my<br />

ability. I take my job as an<br />

artist in SL very seriously.<br />

If I’ve made the venue<br />

owner and the people<br />

listening happy with my<br />

performance then I view<br />

that as a success.<br />

Van: A prerogative of<br />

your performances is<br />

the covers of famous<br />

and/or successful songs.<br />

Customizing a piece is a<br />

natural process for you, or<br />

do you need a thorough<br />

knowledge of the author<br />

of that song first?<br />

Aley: No, generally<br />

all I need is to feel a<br />

connection to the music.<br />

If the music resonates in<br />

me then I think I can do a<br />

good job covering it and<br />

interpreting it in my own<br />

way.<br />

Van: Your repertoire<br />

is vast both in terms<br />

of musical genre and<br />

diversity of artists. You<br />

can quickly move from<br />

rock to soul, from R&B to<br />

musicals with masterful<br />

interpretations. Where<br />

does your knowledge<br />

come from, and what are<br />

the musical influences?<br />

Aley: My parents both<br />

had very diverse musical<br />

tastes so as I was growing<br />

up I was exposed to all<br />

sorts of different styles<br />

of music and that has<br />

continued into my adult<br />

life. My dad loves reggae<br />

while my mum is more<br />

into soul. So I had artists<br />

like Bob Marley and<br />

the Wailers alongside<br />

soul legends like Aretha<br />

Franklin- it was great. I<br />

also grew up performing<br />

musical theatre (as many<br />

of my listeners will tell<br />

you I love singing!) and<br />

being a 90s kid I also<br />

listened to a lot of pop.<br />

I think everyone would<br />

find something they<br />

like to listen to on my<br />

songlist- it’s definitely<br />

eclectic! I’ve even<br />

recently added some rock<br />

covers! Have a look on my<br />

website and see if you<br />

can see anything you’d<br />

like: www.aleykat.com<br />

Van: Would you like to<br />

sing together with two or<br />

three other established<br />

singers in SL? If yes, with<br />

whom?<br />

Aley: I absolutely love<br />

dual streaming with<br />

other artists in SL. In<br />

the past I’ve sung with<br />

Maximillion Kleene, Toxic<br />

Darkmatter and Djembe<br />

Dragonfire among others.<br />

I’d love to sing with Tony<br />

Slade in the future- he’s<br />

a newish singer on the<br />

scene and our voices<br />

78 <strong>360</strong> <strong>GRADI</strong>


would definitely go great<br />

together.<br />

Van: What message<br />

would you like to convey<br />

to your listeners?<br />

Aley: Gratitude. When I<br />

started singing I never<br />

dreamed it would<br />

become what it has in SL.<br />

It’s down to my listeners<br />

and I will be eternally<br />

grateful to them all.<br />

I hope I can continue<br />

to earn their loyalty<br />

throughout my shows in<br />

the future.<br />

Van: How do you react to<br />

an evening that didn’t go<br />

well?<br />

Aley: My bestie would<br />

tell you how much I beat<br />

myself up over it! If I<br />

haven’t sung well I feel<br />

absolutely terrible that<br />

I’ve let everyone down.<br />

I’m trying to learn not<br />

to be so hard on myself<br />

but I constantly strive for<br />

perfection in my showsmaybe<br />

it’s the brit in<br />

me? Everything has to be<br />

proper and correct!<br />

Aley: The live music<br />

industry in SL is vastly<br />

unfair now with the<br />

disparity between<br />

earnings of singers and<br />

venue owners. Having<br />

run a venue myself<br />

I’m also aware first<br />

hand how expensive it<br />

is- even when singers<br />

don’t put out tip boards,<br />

listeners always tip<br />

them. I wish there could<br />

be a system where the<br />

venue owners also get<br />

tipped the same amount<br />

(or more!) to offset their<br />

rising costs of renting<br />

land, running a venue<br />

and hiring singers.<br />

experience, what should<br />

change and what should<br />

remain in SL’s musical<br />

world?<br />

Elisea Carter is a high fashion<br />

the advent of mesh and had the<br />

stubbornness and talent to adapt to<br />

the changing times.<br />

Dear readers, I am pleased<br />

to interview Elisea Carter:<br />

many of you will know her for<br />

the beautiful dresses she has<br />

created for years in SL.<br />

With the advent of mesh and<br />

bento she had abandoned,<br />

she wanted to return with<br />

stubbornness, and I assure you<br />

that her dresses are fantastic.<br />

I enjoyed bringing one of her<br />

dresses to the fashion show<br />

recently: you can admire her<br />

creations in the magazine’s<br />

photos and her mainstore.<br />

Miso: Can we start the interview,<br />

Eli? In the meantime, thank you<br />

for accepting.<br />

Elisea: Thank you and all the<br />

staff of the magazine.<br />

Miso: You were born as a<br />

designer when everything<br />

was still in prim: you were<br />

very famous and very loved by<br />

Americans. What do you miss<br />

from that period?<br />

Elisea: I don’t miss anything<br />

from that period for the creation<br />

of clothes. In the past, you<br />

With the advent of mesh, the<br />

approach to making clothes<br />

and their performance has<br />

changed. Now it is much<br />

because the clothes are very<br />

realistic.<br />

could improvise to be a<br />

designer; it was much<br />

more straightforward;<br />

you just needed<br />

Photoshop basics, know<br />

the build of the platform,<br />

and a bit of imagination.<br />

You could create clothes,<br />

often a bit arranged,<br />

and I dare say almost<br />

simulated. With the<br />

advent of mesh, the<br />

approach to realizing<br />

the clothes and their<br />

rendering has changed.<br />

Now it is much more<br />

creative and stimulating<br />

because the clothes are<br />

very realistic. Indeed,<br />

it is no longer possible<br />

to improvise because<br />

you need confident<br />

professionalism and<br />

excellent knowledge of<br />

various 3D software in<br />

making them.<br />

Miso: How do you think<br />

SL has changed from a<br />

human perspective in all<br />

these years?<br />

Elisea: Because of my<br />

work, I have always lived<br />

very little Second Life.<br />

But as far as I could and<br />

can see, I think nothing<br />

has changed, humanly<br />

speaking. As in reality, or<br />

maybe more than reality,<br />

life here takes very<br />

much emotionally. Often<br />

you are without masks;<br />

it seems a paradox,<br />

considering that there is<br />

no visual approach, and<br />

everyone can be what<br />

they want, but that is<br />

precisely why you are<br />

what you are.<br />

It comes out the most<br />

intrinsic door that is<br />

inside us. And this can<br />

be damn fascinating<br />

and, at the same time,<br />

destructive. I have<br />

witnessed great loves,<br />

beautiful friendships,<br />

but also intense<br />

disappointments, breaks,<br />

and inconsolable tears.<br />

Perhaps here, the soul is<br />

touched.<br />

And that’s why living<br />

on Second Life changes<br />

our lives, swallows our<br />

existence. It’s like living<br />

in a fairy world where<br />

everything becomes<br />

possible, where dreams<br />

and fantasies can come<br />

true, but on the other<br />

hand, it can be harmful<br />

because, at the same<br />

time, it takes us away<br />

from reality.<br />

Miso: Your look is that of<br />

the designer who creates:<br />

do you think that the<br />

models who now show<br />

your new clothes can<br />

convey what you want to<br />

say with your creation?<br />

(I ask you this because,<br />

in my opinion, the model<br />

must represent who has<br />

created leaving aside<br />

the beauty of the avatar<br />

(necessary), but that must<br />

not excel. It is a question<br />

that does not ask for<br />

names, but a general<br />

opinion.<br />

Elisea: Often not; they<br />

can’t convey what that<br />

particular garment<br />

means to me. The outfit<br />

is fundamental, as<br />

well as the poses and<br />

movements, and it is not<br />

enough to be good at<br />

editing accessories or<br />

using poses. Many people<br />

lack imagination and<br />

good taste. It is very well<br />

perceived that they often<br />

have the basis for the<br />

“history of the costume”<br />

and, therefore, the<br />

various periods classified<br />

a particular “style.”<br />

Miso: What do you<br />

suggest to those who are<br />

thinking of becoming a<br />

stylist in SL?<br />

Elisea: Even if we are<br />

not in reality, you should<br />

always be updated on the<br />

fashion of real designers,<br />

always look not only at<br />

their creations but all the<br />

outfit that composes and<br />

gives style to the dress.<br />

We are history, and only<br />

knowing the past can we<br />

think of a future.<br />

Miso: Think about the<br />

models when they show<br />

88 <strong>360</strong> <strong>GRADI</strong>


your creations.<br />

Elisea: Listen to Jazz and<br />

let yourself be captured<br />

by the emotion that<br />

the notes, one after the<br />

other, transmit and then<br />

immerse yourself in that<br />

atmosphere. You will find<br />

the inspiration to wear<br />

my clothes!<br />

Miso: They say that<br />

Fashion in SL is losing<br />

charm. What do you<br />

think?<br />

Elisea: It’s true! And I<br />

think I also know why!<br />

In reality, imagine the<br />

Italian fashion and<br />

not invaded and then<br />

overwhelmed and<br />

imitated by the many<br />

Chinese clothing stores.<br />

This one is more or less<br />

what happened in Second<br />

Life.<br />

Hundreds of kids who<br />

know how to use the<br />

various 3D software,<br />

coming out of college<br />

they decide that until<br />

they find a job; in reality,<br />

they use their knowledge<br />

to glean some linden.<br />

They skillfully and very<br />

skillfully copy everything<br />

that the real world’s<br />

casual clothing offers and<br />

sell on Second Life, often<br />

with low and competitive<br />

costs.<br />

This factor has destroyed<br />

haute couture and forces<br />

designers who are still<br />

trying to create new and<br />

classy clothes to sell at<br />

low prices and affordable<br />

to all. Otherwise, nobody<br />

buys them. Unfortunately,<br />

this is a sad reality!<br />

Miso: Thank you, Elisea,<br />

for your kindness; the<br />

readers of this new<br />

magazine will also know<br />

you as a woman and not<br />

only as a designer. It will<br />

serve to look with other<br />

eyes at your creations.<br />

Elisea: Thank you for the<br />

honor you have given me<br />

with this interview. I hope<br />

to be clear and heartfelt;<br />

also that my speech can<br />

reach all the women who<br />

live in this world so that<br />

the charm of fashion will<br />

be reassessed again.<br />

PHOTOGRAPHY<br />

Head Column<br />

Writing with light, from the Greek φῶς, φωτός, “light” and<br />

γραϕία, “writing”, this is “photography”.<br />

Now I know that talking about photography in Second<br />

Life will surely make purists curl their noses or smile at<br />

the most benevolent professionals and enthusiasts. Still,<br />

once there were film and exposure meter, then came<br />

digital cameras and files today. We also use phones to take<br />

pictures, and thanks (maybe) to them, photography is now<br />

within everyone’s reach.<br />

Here then is that a “viewer,” with all its peculiarities<br />

techniques can become a perfect means to “write” with the<br />

virtual “light” the encounter between the subject and the<br />

eye of the photographer, from which a new possible vision<br />

is born.<br />

The imagination of reality, albeit virtual.<br />

This one we will do in our journey among the<br />

photographers of Second Life: we will talk about<br />

technique, composition, inspiration and<br />

passion, hoping to convince skeptics that our images,<br />

although depicting a world of pixels,<br />

can rightly be considered “photography.”<br />

SKIP<br />

STAHELI<br />

Skip Staheli’s images are compositions.<br />

It is a complex creative mode, in which<br />

several different elements blend into<br />

the scene.<br />

I remember the first time I saw<br />

Skip Staheli’s image: I think<br />

that was the moment when<br />

I realized how fascinating<br />

photography could be in Second<br />

Life. I’ve always had to deal<br />

with photography because, as<br />

a blogger, I believed in making<br />

the most of the art galleries I<br />

visited.<br />

However, Skip Staheli’s images<br />

were quite different: first of<br />

all, they are compositions, so<br />

he assembled several other<br />

elements to create a single<br />

scene. It is a complex creative<br />

mode: I worked on photographic<br />

compositions (real-life and<br />

virtual images), so I know<br />

the difficulty in creating an<br />

image that convinces that it is<br />

not a jumble of elements put<br />

together.<br />

In addition to creating credible<br />

images (in the sense that the<br />

viewer does not realize that<br />

it is a composition, because<br />

the elements harmoniously<br />

blend into the scene), Staheli<br />

has the talent to excite the<br />

viewer. I honestly believe that<br />

this last aspect is the secret<br />

of his success. If his<br />

creative ability and skill<br />

in Photoshop are not<br />

in question, it is also<br />

true that there are now<br />

several photographers<br />

who take care of their<br />

talent in creating<br />

breathtaking images but<br />

do not have the same<br />

ability to involve the<br />

viewer emotionally.<br />

Beyond my thoughts<br />

on this professional<br />

photographer, I wanted<br />

the reader to have the<br />

opportunity to get to<br />

know Skip Staheli better<br />

by hearing directly from<br />

him the narration of his<br />

experience. I asked him<br />

some questions, probably<br />

the most immediate ones<br />

that anyone would ask<br />

him. From his answers<br />

shines a person who tells<br />

himself with simplicity<br />

and who does not give<br />

importance to success<br />

in the virtual world<br />

of Second Life (in my<br />

opinion, rightly so).<br />

Moreover, it points the<br />

attention on an important<br />

aspect: nowadays,<br />

many photographers<br />

professionally realize<br />

images, just because<br />

photography is one of the<br />

most appreciated activity.<br />

We know Skip Staheli<br />

better in this exclusive<br />

interview for <strong>360</strong> <strong>GRADI</strong><br />

Magazine.<br />

“ I am 100% selftaught<br />

in photo<br />

editing and using<br />

Photoshop.”<br />

Skip Staheli<br />

Oema: Did you already<br />

know how to work on a<br />

picture before joining<br />

SL or learned because<br />

of your photographer<br />

activity inworld?<br />

Skip: No, I didn’t know at<br />

all.. the first year, I didn’t<br />

work with photoshop,<br />

but just messed around;<br />

a bit later, I had a very<br />

old version of photoshop,<br />

and had a laptop from<br />

work, with a lousy<br />

graphics card.. and did<br />

all the painting with my<br />

finger on a mousepad...<br />

I’m 100 % autodidact<br />

in photo editing and<br />

photoshop.<br />

Oema: Why choose to be<br />

a photographer in SL, and<br />

when you understood,<br />

you became famous?<br />

Skip: One of the<br />

questions most asked, I<br />

think, I never choose to<br />

be a photographer in SL,<br />

it just happened.. one<br />

day, I found out about<br />

making snaps inworld,<br />

and saw some cool<br />

talents on Flickr with SL<br />

work.. I was inspired to<br />

also do nice jobs, just<br />

for myself and later<br />

for friends.. but soon<br />

friends of friends asked<br />

for photo’s, and at some<br />

point, it seemed I was a<br />

photographer.. so then<br />

I just decided to own<br />

a photo studio “Photo<br />

Studio Purple Cows”<br />

since 2008.<br />

Famous, lol.. that’s a bit<br />

funny, I think.. how much<br />

famous can you be in SL,<br />

and what’s the worth of<br />

it?<br />

Maybe I was lucky that in<br />

my beginning SL time, not<br />

so many photographers<br />

were around, and working<br />

with the right designers<br />

and loads of models<br />

for their model contest<br />

pictures put me on the<br />

map... I don’t think it’s<br />

still happening at this<br />

time, those many photo<br />

contests for models.<br />

Also, by now, all avatars<br />

are mesh, so making<br />

lovely pictures isn’t that<br />

difficult anymore... So<br />

it’s hard to stand out in<br />

such a huge amount of<br />

photographers.<br />

But I certainly don’t<br />

feel “famous” lol. When<br />

people act like I am, I’m<br />

96 <strong>360</strong> <strong>GRADI</strong>


like, please.... it’s just<br />

meeeeeeeeeh!<br />

Oema: Which is the most<br />

exciting part of your SL<br />

work?<br />

Skip: Still the photoshoot,<br />

the contact with my<br />

clients... old clients (some<br />

visit since 2008! and still<br />

come) and also the new<br />

clients, getting to know<br />

them, to talk with them...<br />

Find out about their<br />

wishes and a bit about<br />

how they are...<br />

Just as exciting is their<br />

reaction when I deliver<br />

the photo, mostly they<br />

have to wait long, cause<br />

I never rush work, and<br />

when RL is a lot, that<br />

always goes first, so I<br />

always tell upfront it<br />

can take a long time<br />

before turn back time of<br />

the photo... I am not a<br />

factory; I cannot create<br />

when my head is not right<br />

for it.. It can really touch<br />

me when the photo’s<br />

outcome makes my client<br />

happy and how they react<br />

to it. Feedback is very<br />

important!<br />

Also exciting is that<br />

during the shoot, often<br />

many ideas pop up... I like<br />

to share my ideas with<br />

my client, and it’s great<br />

when they are just as full<br />

with enthusiasm as I am..<br />

And when I start editing,<br />

what I feel with work, and<br />

how it slowly becomes<br />

a true piece, with the<br />

feeling I was going for... I<br />

can feel a true rush goes<br />

through me when I’m on<br />

the roll with editing, pure<br />

excitement.. and can be<br />

so pleased with a newly<br />

created piece, that I keep<br />

looking at it for a long<br />

time, and enjoy a lot.. lol<br />

It can make me feel super<br />

satisfied, I think it’s an<br />

addiction...<br />

Oema: Would you like<br />

to thank someone who<br />

helped you during your<br />

path?<br />

Skip: My clients!!! It all<br />

wouldn’t be so much fun<br />

without them, and then<br />

my photo studio wouldn’t<br />

be here anymore, I think,<br />

after so many years.<br />

Oema: What are your<br />

programs for the future?<br />

Skip: What programs?You<br />

mean programs I work<br />

with, or how I think my sl<br />

photo work will be in the<br />

future?<br />

I work with PS cs6, with<br />

my Wacom drawing<br />

tablet, some plugins<br />

like Filter Forge, NIK<br />

collection, Alien Ware,<br />

PS lightroom. I’m a green<br />

<strong>360</strong> <strong>GRADI</strong><br />

screen photographer,<br />

so I don’t shoot in<br />

scenes inworld, but<br />

only in my studio on<br />

the green screen, and<br />

create the whole piece in<br />

Photoshop... I don’t see<br />

myself change this in the<br />

future..<br />

Also, the way I’m working,<br />

I don’t see that change a<br />

lot, as long clients keep<br />

coming, and I can do it<br />

RL wise, I keep going<br />

on... There were years I<br />

was’n active, or much less<br />

active, depends a lot of<br />

RL. So that might change<br />

now and then, but I’m not<br />

planning to quit yet... ;)<br />

“...when I start editing,<br />

what I feel with work,<br />

and how it slowly<br />

becomes a true piece,<br />

with the feeling I was<br />

going for... I can feel a<br />

true rush goes through<br />

me when I’m on the<br />

roll with editing, pure<br />

excitement.. .”<br />

Skip Staheli<br />

Oema: Thank you, Skip,<br />

for your sincerity and<br />

for being so helpful in<br />

responding. The staff<br />

of <strong>360</strong> <strong>GRADI</strong> Magazine<br />

wishes you to go on for<br />

as long as editing the<br />

images will make you<br />

happy.<br />

CITY FESTIVA<br />

Noir’Wen is a unique destination, a<br />

giant festival of art and shopping, where<br />

the visitor gets lost between culture and<br />

stores, between sacred and profane.<br />

Less than 10 nautical<br />

miles from Noir’York City,<br />

Noir’Wen City was born<br />

out of the forced exile<br />

of two young people<br />

at the end of the 18th<br />

century whose families<br />

had refused to marry<br />

for obscure reasons of<br />

social prudishness and<br />

conflicts and who had<br />

been expelled. They<br />

had disembarked in a<br />

makeshift boat on this<br />

inhospitable and sparsely<br />

inhabited small island<br />

and they settled there.<br />

They then founded a<br />

family out of wedlock<br />

and became the emblem<br />

of one of the first “free<br />

union” assumed and<br />

claimed.<br />

L<br />

The first half of the<br />

19th century saw<br />

the beginning of the<br />

development of the city<br />

and its small harbor with<br />

the development of a<br />

sex toy industry whose<br />

reputation quickly spread<br />

around the world. The<br />

number of people living<br />

in Noir’Wen city grew<br />

rapidly early in the 19th<br />

century.<br />

Fervent in the Second<br />

Life cause, the city of<br />

Noir-Wen played a major<br />

role in supplying all kind<br />

of very creative sex toys<br />

among which the famous<br />

“pink dildo”. Then, with<br />

the development of<br />

the digital and virtual<br />

economy, the workshops<br />

and factories closed<br />

one after the other and<br />

the small city fell into<br />

oblivion.<br />

It is only in the first<br />

decades of the 21st<br />

century that two<br />

descendants of the<br />

young immigrant mythic<br />

couple, Belice Benoir and<br />

Nieuwenhove, decided<br />

to launch with a group<br />

of friends and artists<br />

the regeneration of the<br />

city and bring it back<br />

to life and to desire.<br />

They have experienced<br />

a renaissance as an<br />

exceptional destination,<br />

attracting creators<br />

and artists, and they<br />

offer visitors into an<br />

exceptional postindustrial<br />

urban<br />

aesthetic, a free city,<br />

open to creativity, to<br />

fantasy and to freedom<br />

around a new form of<br />

“permanent fetish fair”<br />

with more than fifty<br />

stores, galleries and<br />

workshops of young and<br />

renowned creators with<br />

its spaces for shopping,<br />

Furniture in Second<br />

Life is one of the most<br />

exciting activities to the<br />

point that it has become<br />

a business.<br />

I am referring to the<br />

creation of furniture and<br />

the related bloggers or<br />

magazines that deal with<br />

them and a multitude<br />

of people who offer<br />

their services as interior<br />

connects people who<br />

need decorators with<br />

people who do this<br />

Not everyone earns<br />

money, but some are so<br />

professional that they are<br />

in great demand.<br />

Besides, the site Love to<br />
