My Silent Hero

My business partner here in Manhattan, Sebastiaan Obivate, never ceases to amaze me. Sebastiaan is also the designer for the lovely Sebis Fashion label for men and women fashions. I have always admired his designer skills, so of course I would jump at the chance to work with him in any capacity. Sebastiaan is very talented, but never toots his own horn about his designs. Always the gentleman and a joy to have on my side, is how I would describe him.

This weekend Sebastiaan had a fashion show with the JOL Agency in secondlife to showcase his work. I was very surprised, seeing as he never mentioned it until showtime. Just another example of his silent graciousness. I wanted to shout about it from all the roof tops and out of all the windows. I was very proud. The show was a success. The setting was a walk in the part, with a nice park setting for the models to parade around on. I was trying to take a lot of pics but they came and went so fast. Plus, we all know SL and slow rezzing. I was like, ughhhh, but did manage to get a couple.One of Sebastiaan and I  watching the show and one of one of the "Trendy" Models, Sarlah Maggs, in one of the outfits. Sarlah was working it!

Sarlah Maggs is pictured in Sebastiaan's Cynthia outfit. I could explain it, but,will repeat what the runway announcer said about it, which is a better rendition...." Cynthia, is entering the runway, styled by LusciousSarlah. A total runway design, totally Manhattan look. Again another, office, to night out outfit" now isn't he handsome too! I might have a crush, LOL.

Taxi's service in Downtown New York

Downtown New York, Februari 26

After darkness comes sunshine, after shuffling roles Downtown New York is getting more and more into the picture again. With Moka leading everyday business i finally have the time to explore some creativity and share ideas with new potential people... Today i met Masgalih Resident, here is what happened.

masgalih Resident, "What is a virtual life without a virtual job? Today i started out as cabdriver in one of the biggest and most beautiful virtual city on Second Life. After having an job interview and introduction with Mariadelcarmen Bekkers, one of the founders of this big city i took her for a test drive through the city. We went from SOHO to her Fashion Exposed office. The trip was fantastic and she gave me a good tip as well! Life is good!"

MariadelCarmen Bekkers, "I am happy to announce that our initial transportation plan will get a chance after all. In our meeting Masgalih gave me the confidence to be abe to handle the traffic needs of a virtual city. With good social skills Masgalih will give our customers a happy feeling and an interesting tour around the city."

Make sure to take advantage of this service! A ride with Masgalih is guaranteed pleasure....

Ralphs is the Retro Place to Hang - Totally!!

Hey everyone,

Do you enjoy the 1980’s? Like to hang out in an old dinner? Get waited on by a waitress dressed in 80’s uniform? Then you have to try Ralphs.

I was just down there sipping on an ice cold coke through a paper straw, swinging back and forth on the swivel chair, feet dangling. It was soooo dreamy!! Some guys came in and started to play the juke box. (I got a brand new pair of roller skates, for real??? Can you believe it?)

Next thing they were asking me to dance. Party time!! It was a hoot. Get some retro and come to the meet and greet at Ralph’s. Bring a date or meet someone there. Jeans and tanks but remember Disco is like way out!!

Girls especially, don't forget. It is the 1980's and guys pay for everything!!!!!

Visit Ralph´s over here

Virtual Adventures Official Press Release

Virtual Adventures (VA)
Official Press Release
February 25, 2011

Virtual Adventures is proud to announce that an agreement has been reached with "Mokalatae Blinker" to administer the Downtown New York sim. The steady development of Manhattan City gives us the confidence that MokaLaTae Blinker and her team will do an excellent job in managing Downtown New York to the high standards we all expect.

VA has long been a leader and ground breaker in SL and RL development and the administrative burden of managing Downtown New York (former Nederpoort) had become an impediment. Now with the excellent ability of MokaLaTae, VA is free to develop and implement other virtual possibilities. Javabox Kawanishi and MariadelCarmen Bekkers (current CEO's) will focus on a healthy development of VA In-world and VA as a real life company.
VA will keep a close eye on the daily development of all sims it has founded. It is to our collective benefit that the high VA quality standards remain intact.

MariadelCarmen Bekkers, CEO, states “It’s a delight for me to be able to say that we reached a satisfactory arrangement for both parties that benefits all of our community members. Going forward, I will have time to focus on future VA projects. My interest remains in virtual community development and the fashion business. My first focus will be further development of Fashion Exposed!!”

Javabox Kawanishi, CEO, observed “This is a new step in our virtual career and logical growth step. After building and rebuilding this entire Virtual City and making it an authentic and livable city experience for the SL community, it’s time to move on. The city is now in a state where it can only grow. More hangout places, good stores, and an environment that makes you feel you are really experiencing a city. By turning over the city to Moka, Maria and I are going to focus on other VA related business in world and in RL. This will in time will benefit the city projects as well. More about this will be announced in the next press release”.

MokaLatae Blinker, CEO Fly Chick Enterprises, states “I am very honored that the Downtown NYC owners have faith in me and my Manhattan City team of workers to control and manage Downtown New York. By doing so,everyone benefits and the high standards that we all have and use in our current cities will continue to be on going and stable. This new expansion also helps me to fulfill my goals of successfully running and maintaining vibrant virtual city. Maria and Java, thank you again for putting your trust and faith in me and Manhattan City to take care of yours in your time of need. It is very much appreciated”.

Role Playing in the Red Light District

I happened to have logged on early this morning and noticed this red light girl almost asleep. She was waiting for dawn and maybe her last chance to make some money.

She seemed a little down; did she need a fix? Maybe she has a small child needing care? Is she waiting to be rescued? She seemed so soft and nice for a girl in this business.

I had to go on to shop in SOHO just a few blocks away. But as I was leaving some guys came up and began talking to her. The entire time I was shopping I could not help but wonder what happened to that beautiful girl. We all know it could have been us.

How did this role play work out? Could you have joined it? Would you like to try something else? What have you imagined? Only you know for you. Come role play here soon; lot's of situations in the city that never sleeps.

Keep watching ok?
