Happy Valentines Day! Visit Isle of view on Valentines Day

So while I"m slaving away at work, those of you who are able to enjoy SL during the middle of the day(for Americans) you can go join up with some Lindens at Isle of View 2 for the annual Valentines Day hug and dunk a Linden event from 10am to 1pm SLT.    Lindens have been coming out to their annual V Day event en mass for as long as I can remember.   Sometimes the scenery changes, sometimes the Linden avatars present change, they've switched from kissing to hugging at some point, and sometimes there are free Linden bear giveaways. Regardless of the changes it's always been fun at the few I"ve attended in the past. I thought I'd go take a sneak peak at the sim tonight.  I landed on the beautiful heart shapes sim under a blood red sky. This year the layout is similar to last year.  There are two main pavilions,  the Dunking Pavilion, and the Hugging Pavilion, so get your cameras ready for some celebrity shots.  You can also find the swan boat ride, and it seems all roads lead to the Love Pavilion. There is even an area to play the LL game  Tyrah and the Curse of the Magical Glytches. Keep your eyes open for the pretty fireworks too.  Enjoy.  Here is a SLurl for the sim: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Isle%20of%20View%202/128/128/107

Happy Valentine's Day Week-Things to See and Do in SL

Happy Valentine's Day Week Everyone!  I think almost anyone can appreciate how much love, romance, and yes, sex, makes the world go round, even in SL where there are many fantastic places and things set up for Valentine's Day appreciation in SL, so I wanted to share some of my favorites with you all with easy use links.  There are so many great places and products and events I couldn't begin to get all that I've seen here and I'm sorry if I neglected even some of my favorites, but here at least are some I've kept track of to share. I might add more as Valentine's Day is a couple of days away yet.  Enjoy!
