Hollywood, The Event.... March 30 through April 14th, 2013!

Today I went to the wedding party of Annalise Cyberstar and Treon Bikcin and this was the perfect opportunity to wear my "Red Carpet Gown" by Sassy.  Sassy really has so so many fantastic outfits in their store from formal to casual and they fit amazingly well. I have a ton of their things so when I saw this gown on the blogger wall for "the event Hollywood" I knew it would be great, and it is!  This gown enhances the body shape and moves very well dancing.  I love it.  Be sure to check out "the event, Hollywood" and Sassy!

Lost Treasure of the Inca Warrior Game-Madpea

Visit here: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Hoshi%20Island/128/128/49
MadPea has their latest  "Lost Treasure of the Inca Warrior Game" up and running.  This is an amazing adventure that starts in this boat then the hud and info provided guides you on a tour of some impressive SL sims and through the caves and tunnels with clues and tasks along the way.   Watch out though, as it's totally boobytrapped and I ended up getting killed many times.


"Get immersed in an epic adventure, solve puzzles and dodge deadly traps as you navigate your way through the Devil's Cave and crack the vault where precious treasures are waiting to be discovered."




So I successfully went headlong through many of the tasks and areas then ended up in Virtual Decay and got worn out looking for the next clue and then when I was distracted by friends, I remporarily aborted the quest for a change of pace.  So this is where my adventure ended for the night. I'll get back to it another time.    Here is the MadPea web site with a lot of great info. and pics. : http://madpea.blogspot.de/

Socially Meme

Strawberry Signh seems to be on a roll with these weekly Monday Memes and I'm trying to keep up, but I've been very RL busy lately, so I'm a day behind on this one.  This weeks meme is about social media, something most bloggers can really relate to. Here I go:

What was the first social network you joined using your SL Avatar?
Flickr in May 2009. http://www.flickr.com/photos/karatrapdoor/

Which social networks are you currently on using your SL Avatar?
Flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/karatrapdoor/
Facebook  https://www.facebook.com/#!/kara.trapdoor
Twitter https://twitter.com/KaraTrapdoor
Plurk http://www.plurk.com/KaraTrap
Koinup http://www.koinup.com/KaraTrapdoor/works/
Second Life Profile https://my.secondlife.com/kara.trapdoor
Association of Virtual Worlds http://network.associationofvirtualworlds.com/profile/KaraTrapdoor
Moolto http://moolto.ning.com/profile/KaraTrapdoor
Second Friends http://www.second-friends.com/profile/KaraTrapdoor
MAG http://slmachinimaarts.ning.com/profile/KaraTrapdoor
Youtube http://www.youtube.com/user/KaraTrapdoor/videos?view=0

There are probabaly more that I can't think of right now.

Which network is your favorite?
Flickr hands down.  I really love to see everyone's SL pictures there and I've made some great SL friends through there.

Which network is your least favorite?
Plurk.. haven't gotten into it yet or whatever.  I don't really get it.

Which network do you have the most amount of connections?
Facebook 2,402.  And I am not into FB that much either.  I friended about 15 friends I know initially when I went in and now it's just escalated from there with requests from others.

How/Where do you usually read/use most of your networks?
Home, after work, on the couch, laptop.  I used to love to get into Flickr on work breaks/lunch, but they block it now.  I just need to get it on my phone, but I've been lazy about that since I'm really there to work and don't need to be even more distracted.

What are your favorite social networking apps? (if applicable)
'Haven't done that yet but plan to.

What do you like most about social networking sites?
I'm nosey and curious by nature......'helps feed that.

What do you like least about social networking sites?
Some of the stressful controversial posts make me a little nervous, especially when the trolls surface.  My blog is more of a cheer leading blog in that I blog what I like and cheer on everyone in their great products, builds, etc.   Once in a blue moon I'll let out a rant, but it's rare.

Do you feel social networks are a good way to promote you/your brand/your work?
Yes, but I also am not thrilled with people who over advertise their things on social networks. Spam.  Bleh.  I want to see and know things but not like 400 times on the same site.  Way too self serving.

What is your main reason for using Social Networks?
Mostly for the fun of seeing what everyone is up to and what I can then get up to. I like to share the fun too and they are good for that.

LEA 6 Fuschia's Fantasy Land, LEA6 (131, 189, 21) - Moderate

Visit here: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/LEA6/128/128/6

Fuchia's Fantasy Land is a great explore. I know it's been over here at LEA for a while and has been blogged before, but I just got to it today and my friend Brian and I quickly donned the free outline fairy avatars offered at the landing spot. There are some nice dance and pose places too in the magical environment for the special avatars. Another must see and experience sim.

Another Meme for Youyou

Strawberry Singh started another meme today.  It seems a lot of bloggers are having fun with it, as am I.  Here is my "Procrastination meme" for the week.  It's not about procrastination but rather she called it that as it is something to do rather than what was intended to be done.  So it's more info about me based on her specific meme questions. Here goes:

*********************************************************************************

 

1.What is the rez date for your current SL Avatar that you use most often?

   Kara Trapdoor March 18, 2009-Today 4 years ago!

 

2.Where was the first place you made friends as a newb and got to know people in Second Life?

  The first places I went were some freebie places a mentor recommended when he rescued my avatar from 2 guys in the initial new avatar landing area who were also new but obviously alts already on the prowl and double teaming me for some “fun”. After that I went to Dance Island as he had suggested I find a dance club to start. I hung out there totally enjoying the music and dancing my avatar but was not inworld all the time like I am now. Soon I realized my cool Barbie avatar (Ruth) did not look as cool as the avatars around me, and when I started making friends and learning how to look a little better I started to move out more shopping a little which led to exploring amazing sims and I was hooked. I still went back to Dance Island off and on then, but after other noobs kept asking to go to some very naughty places I searched and found the Eternal Creations sims which was a large area where cool Christians of all denominations went for club dancing, games, socialization with others less likely to just be on the “make”, activities and a lot of fun organized safe stuff to do and come back to after I’d go out exploring or to live music. I made some good friends there I still consider some of my best. Eventually I needed to explore more and more of SL and what was going on all around. That EC area is no longer in SL as in everything the expense of running such a huge area became too much, but some of them have a somewhat similar newer place that I really don’t get around to much, and those I was closest too don’t either. There is a time and a season for things.

 

3.Where do you spend most of your SL time now?

  I am home more than I used to be to blog or just work on things, but then I run to as many sims to explore, events, arts, music, clubs, etc. as possible in between everything else. I really move around a lot.

 

4.Who is your closest friend in Second Life? (only pick one)

   There is no way I could pick just one. I have a handful of people I consider close.

 

5.What is the most favorite thing in your inventory? (only pick one)

    I love my Kara Kong and some of my crazier or fun costumes, but of course they don’t get as much use as many other things I wear or use regularly.

 

6.The last thing you purchased in Second Life?

  A club building.  HUGE SPOILER ALERT HERE  (stay tuned on this subject)

 

7.What color clothing does your avatar wear most often?

  Red and black.

 

8.Do you prefer to walk, run or fly? I usually run cuz I suck at flying and I’m too impatient for walking. (same as Stawberry!-see my prior meme)

 

9.What is the craziest thing you’ve ever done in SL?

  Hmmm, so many to choose from.. maybe that silly rap and dance machinima I did with my bloom doll. Or it could be the time I totally tp’d right on stage during a dance show production while they had a full house and it was being recorded. At that point the best I could do was walk off the front saying, “And that folks was my audition for this wonderful dance group” I did apologize to the camera man and group owner who said it was no problem at all as the they edit. The rest of the group I guess just found it added to the entertainment. Since I’m a permanoob that could easily happen again, but I am a bit more careful when I am intent on a show not to do that. I wish I’d have had my bow animation back then though. Probably my alt has Kara beat on this one questoins though. Idk on this #9 one…... so many to choose from really.

 

10.Who would you like to play YOU, in the movie of your SLife?

  Sandra Bolluck

 

Now that you've read about meme, let's hear about you you.  Here are the instructions per Strawberry: "Meme Instructions: Create a new post, copy paste the following ten questions into your post, delete my answers and input your own about your SLife!"

Fashion For Life-Awesome Final Events Yet To Come Today!

Visit here: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/FFL%20Event%20Sim/128/128/10


Fashion For Life is coming to a close later today and this amazing fundraiser for Relay For Life has raised approximately $25,000 real life dollars thus far.  But Mr. Frolic Mills of BOSL just announced that he will also still be auctioning off the cover of BOSL magazine at 12 noon SLT today.  This will also include an article by editor in chief Persia Bravin.   The grand finale will all begin at 9am SLT today.  The 9 sim builds by some of SL's top artists are amazing (see prior posts for credits and names of involved).  The clothing sales and all the events have been a lot of fun. Persia Bravin has done a great job with promotion and all the organizers, bloggers, designers, and so so many people have made this a huge success.  But it's not over yet!  Hurry on over to the sim for the final day and don't miss out on this huge event for a great cause.


(Mr. Frolic Mills, BOSL-at FFL)
The Relay for Life kiosk provides this information in part..."Relay For Life is the signature event of the American Cancer Society.  The Relay For Life of Second Life is the largest, most successful fundraising event in the virtual world, raising more than $1.6 million US since its first event in 2004.
We invite you to join an incredible group of volunteers who donate their time, talents and energy to fight back against cancer and together we will let the community know that this disease can be beaten and press on with the fight until a cure is found.

Virtual Ironman Football League Season Kicks Off

Seahawks a video by Kara 2 on Flickr. (partial video)
This marks the first week of regular season play for the Virtual Ironman Football League.   Their league information, schedule, and other info. can be found here: http://theviflblog.wordpress.com/

The teams have had a great pre-season and this week I hit the first season game for the Seahawks as my good friend Kathy is a cheerleader for their team.  I used to cheer for a football league and found it to be a great way to meet people, have fun, and look amazing dancing in cute little cheer outfits!  The guys (and now girls too) play the game with a fully scripted field so they do actually PLAY the game with strategy and skills from practise.  I have also played with the guys during practise and it is a lot of fun.  Kathy's team blog can be found here: http://viflseahawks.wordpress.com/

Some shots of the first game:

Hamlet's Blog Talks Of Linden Lab Offering 50% Sim Discounts to Some Select Non Profits and Educational Groups

Check this out: http://nwn.blogs.com/nwn/2013/03/second-life-education-non-profit-discount.html
Hamlet's New World Notes reports today that Linden Labs has quietly been offering sim discounts to some selected non profits and educational groups who have previously given up their sims.  Apparently LL used to do this regularly but discontinued the practise .  According to his blog feedback there is a ton of controversy around this subject.  It is well worth reading.  I won't repeat it here, but just send you on over to New World Notes for the scoop. 

7 Facts About Me..me

Well known SL blogger Strawberry Singh, who is oh so helpful with her SL tips, interesting blog posts, and who makes amazing photos, started a SL meme: "The 7 SL Facts Meme".  For more details check it and her great blog out here: http://strawberrysingh.com/2013/03/11/my-seven-sl-facts-meme/

The gist of it is to list 7 not-so-well-known facts about yourself, blog or Flickr them and then the info. gets around.  A meme is an idea, behavior or style that spreads from person to person within a culture.  Spreading here:

My SL Fact #1:
I'm a major perma-noob.  My good friends know this of me and it becomes painfully clear quickly if around me at all.  Although I've been in SL around 4 years, I am usually still the first one to fall down stairs, run into a wall or the ocean, forget a shoe, etc.

My SL Fact #2:
My SL pet peeves include bad avatar toes, difficult fingernails and eyelashes. (among other things I can't control such as viewer issues)

My SL Fact #3:
I'm very lazy in SL. I do a lot but am lazy about it, so don't be surprised to see typos everywhere. And I won't even mention anything about my completely unorganized "abyss".

My SL Fact #4:
I've only really ever had 2 SL crushes in all my time in. But my contact list is closing in on 600 and I do have many good friends of all types.

My SL Fact #5:
I sometimes explore with an alt in order to get uninterrupted time or remain anonymous for various reasons.  OK, whatever, tons of people do.  How do you think I ever have time to blog?

My SL Fact #6:
I'm a pose ball junkie.  I've heard most people start to ignore pose balls after they've been in SL for a while, but the pose balls and animations scream out to me .... "Come Kara, try me".  

My SL Fact #7:
I run.   Nuff said.  My peeps know this.

Ok,these are not so interesting and most people know this stuff about me if they know me at all.  If I think of something more interesting I'll change them out, but in the mean time spread the game. 

Explore Betelgeuse in SL and Remember Douglas Adams Today!

Visit here: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Betelgeuse%205/128/128/21

3-14-13 Addendum:  So, I've been hanging out in Betelgeuse some because it's just that awesome and I've been showing it off to friends.  During this time I've met the owners and found out the build is about two and half years old.  It intially was the home of Onagh Ashbourne and Bennynatural Carter who developed it and later opened it to the public so as to share with everyone.  Onagh had been very inviting and friendly to myself and company and it's obviously been a true labor of love making the place what it's become today. I have to say I'm very impressed with it all.



I found this amazing sim. It's huge and it has many places that are unique, varried, and so well put together. I will show some photos I took, but be sure to check it out for yourself.


The sim information states:
"Welcome to a small planet somewhere in the vacinity of Betelgeuse"
"* B5 - A Small Planet Somewhere In The Vicinity Of Betelgeuse * B5 is a CCS sci-fi cyberpunk &fantasy dark RP combat sim on a strange alien planet with diverse environments & hidden secrets inspired by Douglas Adams' The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy"   I went all over exploring and had a fun time of it. Be sure to read all the sim information and rules.  The land indicates it's group owned with sim owner being Onagh Ashbourne.  Later I met Claudy Deed who is one of the builders.   

The funny thing is, when I landed at the default landing it appeared to be a cyber type environment, but I ran headlong up some passageways into what appears to be a full out fantasy area so donned my fairy outfit for some pics. In this area I found glowy, colorful foliage, giant light snails, cuddle areas, beautiful plants and lights and small buildings around a watery area.  I noted gateways around to other areas and a note card that indicated it was a RP sim so to be mindful.  It was only later when I teleported back to the landing to head in a different direction that I did find a cyber city looking area.  I also found a very good art gallery area, some fun underground tunnels to some creepy places, green gooey sewer systems, a club, shops, various dwellings, tubes and tunnels, a church, and so much more.  The sim is loaded with interesting nooks to explore, wonderful colors, builds, poses, textures, and lights. I even found an enclosed area with two avatar (bots I assume) monster type beings apparently having their human lunches.

It's Douglas Adams birthday today--author of the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy! So it is very ironic I happened upon this sim late last night/this morning wandering aimlessly as I often do in the wee hours of the morning, and now I am back really exploring it today. Douglas died in 2001 at the age of 49, but were he still living this is his birthday. Today he is the subject of the interactive google doodle. Google and click the Douglas inspired doodle today!






(This was what the google doodle looked like.. it was interactive.)

FASHION FOR LIFE 2013  March 9th – March 17th

Fashion For Life opens March 9th and !YES! I have already seen the 9 sims.  They are as amazing as I've heard and I can't wait to post some pics and get back in.  Fun, Fashion, Entertainment and Art....what more can you ask for?  I picked up this Masoom Kumi dress off the blogger's board this time and I'm sooo loving it.  It moves and fits well in mesh and is a very sweet looking short dress with zipper up the back. .

FASHION FOR LIFE 2013 opens to the public at 12pm SLT on March 9th and runs for a whole week.
Visit the 9 sims and see the latest SL styles and accessories, party in the event zones and watch fashion shows produced by a range of top agencies.
FASHION FOR LIFE is helping to raise funds and awareness on behalf of RELAY FOR LIFE, so shop until you drop and help support this good cause.
