Have you seen The obScene?

Thursday, August 14th, 2008

Did you catch the relaunch issue of Aspire magazine? It’s a great looking magazine with plenty of summer time content, including a well done swimsuit pictorial.
I have to admit a healthy bit of cover envy with gorgeous beauty Keely Huet looking summer fun perfect. She’s a striking model, but I absolutely had to go check [...]

Lively: Second Life killer?

Wednesday, July 9th, 2008

Google publically launched “Lively” which everyone and her grandmother is comparing to Second Life. This is not the right comparision - Lively is actually far more similar to IMVU than Second Life.
There’s no user generated content. There’s no economy. And while embedding a 3D space on your website is kind of fun and novel, [...]

November 8th will be another great day in the Swedish multinational clothing retailer Hennes & Mauritz. Following designers such as Karl Lagerfeld and Victor & Rolf, now Roberto Cavalli is about to launch a special designer collection for this company.  On a newsfeed earlier today I read that during a launch party in Rome, Sharon Stone [...]

What men and women want out of online friendships

Saturday, October 20th, 2007

Have you ever visited the Daedalus Project? It’s run by a researcher at Stanford University named Nick Yee. Nick runs online surveys about behavior patterns exhibited by players of massively-multiplayer online games. It’s generally more focused on games like World or Warcarft, but from time to time, Second Life creeps into a survey or [...]

What you’ve been missing at Fashion Week

Tuesday, October 16th, 2007

The EFA Fashion Week has been running at 11 am SLT this week which I know has made it difficult for North American readers especially to attend the shows. I’ve been shooting some of the outfits featured during the shows and posting them on my Flickr stream. Yesterday’s show featured designs by Quinlan Quimby and [...]

I spent most of the day wrestling with the email software called Dada Mail. It seems to be operable now, so I made two lists. One of them is Second Style News related — here I will send announcements via email when we publish new magazines, new podcasts, new contests, fashion events in Second Life [...]

If you’re a fashion shopper, which one is a better shopping experience? If you’re a fashion designer, which one do you pick to showcase your items out-of-world and why?
Please [...]
