Josie and George in SL


Visit Josie Anderton's official blog spot for more info. schedule, and other things she likes and does in SL here: http://josieanderton.com/
I met Josie when I was pretty new or about 5 plus years ago.  She was into making beautiful photos in SL at that time and was just getting started singing in SL at the encouragement of friends.  I find it amazing she's not had any formal musical training yet sings like a bird.  After these few years she's one of SL's well known and highly sought after singers for events.  She sings to back tracks and has a great personality which adds to her show.  She has back up dancers now in matching outfits and some traditional songs like the can can song where regulars switch to their purple showgirl dresses and dance along.  Even her longtime boyfriend, George Downs, puts on the dress, which is quite fun since they are tiny little dresses, his complete with long braided hair and full feminine outfit. (so wrong it was right/from both sides) And he wasn't the only guy who went along with this.  Always fun times with Josie.


Speaking of George, Josie threw a great birthday party today for George who is super supportive of her shows and is also a big part of the fun with the regulars.  I stopped in and got these photos from the party.   I noted at one point there were 68 people in the sim.  It was a great party turnout.  Josie always draws crowds and she and George are well loved by many.  I've blogged her before several times but felt it was time again.  She even pretty regularly sings "In My Life" substituting Second Life at my suggestion a long time ago and does an amazing job of it.  Anyway, it was a great show and party today. Happy birthday George!

Flickr Collaborators and Posers (FCP) was a longstanding group, now mostly inactive, that comprised a large number of SL residents who met weekly Fridays and/or Sundays, accommodating various time zones over a 3 year period.  The group was founded around February 2008 by Katiya who also organized many of the photo shoots.  A pre-selected theme and location was arranged and announced in the in-world and Flickr groups then people would get together and pose for group shots in costumes, poses, and props fitting the selected theme and sim.  

Many of the former FCP members have become exceptional SL artists and this exhibit showcases works from just a few of the “regulars” to FPC.   We thank the artists contributing to this Skywalk Gallery exhibit.  Last month’s exhibit “Technochory”  by Bryn Oh and Sina Souza will also remain in place for an extended time.  Please enjoy the exhibits and explore the entire sim. 

The Station boasts a variety of fun things to explore in the sky and on ground level including 2 clubs, 2 theaters (one can be booked for free/contact sim management) many rides (various carnival rides, a human cannon that explodes shooting the rider into the air opening on a steampunk bird glider to fly around, a sling shot ride from sky to ground, trains, trolleys, a mechanical bull, floating balloons), a fun house, zeppelins, numerous hidden locations for hanging out, dates or photography, a gambling hotel with various games to play for free, stores, rentals, underwater area, freebies in various locations and much more.  Look for future art exhibits, live music, and club events to come.    (Sim owner/builder: Enigmatic Deir, Sim Manager: Sonrisa Seminario)

Talk about versatility.. My friend Josie Anderton seems to do it all. Anyone who knows me knows I love the variety in SL and I think my blog reflects that. Well today I learned Josie has yet another talent to add to her repertoire. We all know Josie for her friendly, sweet and humorous personality and her great voice when she sings live around the grid, but she also blogs, is an amazing photographer and makes machinima. Today I noticed she has opened a shop with clothes she makes. I rode in on my balloon pony that I just got at the Community thrift event, and chatted with Josie about this her latest venture and took a couple of quick snaps of her at her shop for this blog post. She said she is making clothes for her store but may add a few other types of things soon. In the past I commented on some super cute jeans she was wearing and being the person Josie is, she immediately gave me a copy telling me then that she made them herself. I should have anticipated she would be making more clothes soon. Check out her store when you get a chance.. and don't forget to pop into her shows from time to time.

Josie Clothes Josie sent me this tank with my "It's A Trap" (my group titler) on the front and my name on the back and these are also some of the jeans she makes. Very cute stuff... Thanks Josie!
