Holiday casuality

By way of an early present for you, stop by the store, right-click on the chalk outline and buy one of your own for L$0.
Cheers!

Happy second rezday to me
December 4, 2008
In what appears to be becoming an annual tradition (and something that will make you say WTF), here I am parading around in my birthday suit, complete with my homemade “pixelated privates” attachment. Because I’m all about class, don’t you know.

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens

Edelweiss makes some of the nicest quality maid / governess / Japanese schoolgirl uniforms I’ve come across in Second Life. Not that I’m in the market for those things, you know, but I’ve seen that stuff in my travels. Really.
What makes Edelweiss really interesting, though, is that it takes up a veeeeeeery small portion of Mont Saint Michel island, the rest of which is devoted to a magnificent Swiss city on a hilltop.
The interesting thing is that this is a Japanese creation. Okay, that’s not so interesting, but it is kind of odd to see what appears to be a Japanese ode to The Sound of Music. Then again, there are probably Swiss fans of Akira, so I suppose this serves to keep the universe in balance somehow.
You can fly around, but you’ll be most rewarded by walking around and getting lost. And get lost you will, just like in any old European city. The build is sometimes not very detailed (many of the houses are boxes with no windows or entrance), but turn a corner and you find yourself in a graveyard or a garden.
The cathedral at the top of the hill is definitely worth looking at. Inside it you’ll find on of the oddest things I’ve ever seen..
It’s a little skull in a golden case. I’m guessing this is supposed to be a kind of holy relic. Maybe it’s the skull of Saint Ruprecht the Very Tiny.
You have to fly up to the tower, but it’s worth it for the view.
And waaaaay up top you can get a look at the sculpture on the spire. That’s quite a bit of detail for something you can barely see from the ground. It’s a nice touch.
Oh, near the rez point there’s a Japanese version of one of those photo booth thingies. It’s a nice change of pace from the usual one you see around.

Burn, baby, burn

In what must be one of the ultimate examples of niche marketing in Second Life, I happened upon a store selling cremation devices. Where do you go after cremation roleplay? Afterlife roleplay? Reanimation roleplay? (Just add water!)
Okay, I’m sure that there are some clubs and roleplay areas where this actually fits in well. Still, I wonder if it isn’t telling that in all my travels the first place I’ve run into this setup is in the store where it’s sold.
That said, it’s actually a nice piece of work, along with the morgue and autopsy equipment nearby. And outside they sell tombstones. If you’re into death, they’re really trying to… urn your business.
