Ballet Pixelle presents "Immortal Waltz"

Ballet Pixelle in Second Life
"Immortal Waltz"


November 2, 2011 Final Show
Quat (45, 10, 107)

There is a ballet company in Second Life called Ballet Pixelle, owned by Inarra Saarinen. The productions have been sometimes challenging as each dancer is not on a pose ball but an animation designed specifically for this dance.

Lag today was quite tolerable but I fear that is because of the date, Wednesday, November 2nd.

Join Ballet Pixelle so that you will know what is happening with their ballet company and future productions.

So nice... dancing with my baby again! That's right... we are back on the Second Life grid again.

Tonight, we stopped off at PeKashee for a romantic dance to dj Bodenhall's cool, smooth tunes of RnB, Blues, Jazz and Lounge music.

I missed my baby very much in this place called Second Life... so glad to have him in my arms again!

Partnerships and Friends

Happy Summer to everyone here at THE A LIST!

Our focus of unifying the grid has been a very difficult process. A process that sometimes caused us to almost give up on the hope of making peace within the business and creative communities. We worked hard for you and the majority of our group appreciated the small ways we tried to help.



We created internet properties to bring our photographs, words and promotions for the varying interests here on the Second Life grid. Sometimes, we could not do everything due to a lack of resources and manpower. The successes have been remarkable, though. We see many of you networking together, creating new groups, new offerings and working together in a cohesive way. That is our main success.

We also saw a few that did not support us no matter what we did. And, that was disheartening. Networking is complicated and sometimes people did not see the positive unless their name was up front. That can not happen as there are many in our group and each of you have an important interest here in Second Life.

Our focus now is to move forward, continue to network our group and to provide a vehicle for your interests. Here's to prosperity at the end of this year, 2011! Economy in the US is showing an uptick and that is a very good sign for the entire world. Cheers!

For any questions or concerns, please contact Raftwet or Xavier for further information.

THE A LIST! - Borked Communications!

Hello everyone! Just want to say how difficult posting has been recently for the group, THE A LIST! The new updates to the viewer have been a bit borky for me. My notices are not showing up at my desktop when I am online. They sporadically show up in my email offline, but even there, I am missing quite a few.

xavier and raftwet in second life

When I am online, the notices will come and then some are missing, so posting up to FaceBook has been problematic as I am trying to post for each notice.

Also, as a reminder, I want to let everyone know that only 420 characters are allowed on status post. Make sure you include the slurl or at least the region and the coordinates (that takes less characters than the long slurl). And, I don't want to get into notecards as many of us will not open an unknown link on Facebook! Nooooo! LOL!

xavier and raftwet in second life

Anyway, please have patience as the grid works out the problems within groups and communications for THE A LIST! . I am sometimes not receiving notices... even when I am in-world! So, please do not feel that we are slighting you in any way.

Sigh... the grid is morphing and updating and changing. We will be patient as the LR brings the grid up to speed with all our group needs and communications.

Costa Rica Sims is proud to present the TOP SIX FINALISTS for the Mr. Costa Rica event!


From (left to right) Angelik  Lavecchia, Brendan Marcarthur, Didier Rascon, Pheonix Reyer, Xavier Midal and LesPaul Ibanez (update: Phoenix Reyer is the new Mr Costa Rica Sims!)


The competition is tight and our winner will continue on to the Mr. Virtual World competition. During the competition each finalist has worked hard to achieve his goal in being crowned Mr. Costa Rica Sims 2011.  These are hard and challenging times and each contestant on his own has proven to be a great choice if they were the winner. This is an exciting time for our finalists and we wish you for you to join us to reach the finish line and finding out who the new crowned Mr. Costa Rica will be.


We are very excited to announce the Mr. Costa Rica Sims 2011 official judges. The judges this year will have a huge part in selecting who will represent the entire Costa Rica Sims. Each judge will critique appearance, presentation, and the final question response for every finalist. Ultimately, their decisions will reflect who will walk away with one of the Costa Rica Sims highest honors.

The Mr. Costa Rica Sims 2011 Judges are……


mr costa rica sims judge: KYRA DELUXE 

Kyra is proud owner of Deluxe Makeup & Skin Studio.  She spends her time in Second Life as an Executive Assistant and Model  for Danae Magazine. Kyra has modeled for several others including Miss Virtual World.


mr costa rica sims judge: MAXIE DAVIAU
Maxie describes herself as being “Just a normal girly Brit”, she has been a resident of Costa Rica since the beginning of her Second Life adventure.  She has modeled and also reigned as the Miss Costa Rica 2009.  She still enjoys shopping and keeping up with the latest fashions, reading blogs and finding new great places to shop.


mr costa rica sims judge: SAFFIA WIDDERSHINS
Saffia Widdershins is the CEO of Prim Perfect Publications, the media company which produces Prim Perfect magazine, The Primgraph magazine , the steam punk web comic The Quest for the Golden Prim, and - in association with treet.tv - Designing Worlds and Metaverse Arts. The organization is shortly officially opening its beautiful new headquarters in Costa Rica Sims, located in San Jose. In her spare time, Saffia likes parties, music, meeting people and exploring beautiful places. She is also working with treet.tv on the telethon that accompanies Relay for Life of Second Life.


mr costa rica sims judge: SERENE FAITH
Serene’s  journey in SL began in July of 2009. What began as a simple curiosity grew to a challenging, fun, and a great second life that gave me an opportunity to meet great people from all over the world. I began pursuing modeling late 2009, attended several academies and contests. My goal was not to become "famous" or "popular", or a "SLebrity", but rather to have fun, face challenges, to learn and maybe, if the time was right, be able to reach some success. This happened in December of 2010. After experiencing several castings and contests, finally after over a year in the industry, I won Miss Morea Style 2011 and Miss Virtual World 2011.


mr costa rica sims judge: TRAVELLER BADE
Traveller is owner of Sartoria, a brand created in 2007.  This brand brings a fine men’s clothing line to Second life, with it’s details and style.  Sartoria is a valuable line of clothes, pants, jackets, ties, shirts and coats, made according to the highest Italian tailoring tradition. The tailoring of clothes is designed to be used in times of gala receptions or business meetings, but their versatility and combination with other pieces from his casual collection also make them more suitable for informal occasions.


mr costa rica sims judge: WK GANESVOORT
WK Ganesvoort was born in 2007. He quickly learned to shop and sought out all the best that SL had to offer. After about 6 months he discovered Costa Rica Sims and fell in love! The exotic beauty of Costa Rica and the surrounding nature, have kept him here, building and developing his estate and decorating his mansion. His home, Ganesvoort House has won 3 awards on SL for design, landscaping & interiors. It has been featured in “Prim Perfect Magazine” and on “Designing Worlds“. Now that his home is completed, he enjoys entertaining and giving fabulous theme parties, such as, The Great Gatsby ball and Sunset Boulevard event for his many friends on Costa Rica Sims and SL. He is also involved with SL charities and organized a successful home tour during the Christmas Holidays, featuring the finest homes on SL. He loves to open his home for the SL community and welcomes visitors to come and enjoy all the beautiful things he has acquired on SL. He is honored to be a judge for this year, Mr. Costa Rica Sims 2011.

MAD Agency presents DEREZZED ~ Tron Legacy Fashion Show

      
          "The Grid, a digital frontier. I tried to picture clusters of information as
            they move through the computer - what do they look like?
            Ships, motorcycles, where the circuits are like freeways.
            I kept dreaming of the world I thought I'd never see.
            Then one day, I got in!"

                                                                                        Flynn from Tron Legacy

As well as a musical passion, Tone also has a passion for technology and the internet. A long time digital electronics tech since 1979, Tone is equally at home behind a computer as he is behind his guitar.
Although a cover artist, Tone also writes, records, publishes, produces, and owns all his original music. His record company, TRU Blues Records and production company, TRU Productions in real life are his primay concerns as an artist.

Tone also owns and performs in his own venue in Second Life called Blues Heaven named after his Blues Heaven group. Join the Blues Heaven group for a heavenly blues experience in Second Life. Here is the landmark. ô€€™

Reviews:

Here is what Tone's real life favorite blues DJ, Marty Kool (his actual name) had to say about Tony Uribe aka Tone Uriza and his band Tony & the Torpedoes in the real world,

 "When I think of the great bluesmen like Albert Collins, Albert King, Freddy King, Muddy Waters, B.B. King, and so many more, I notice a recurring theme. Along with endless creativity and musical talent comes the fact that they play the blues because they “gotta”. Like John Lee Hooker says, “It’s in ‘me, and it’s gotta come out”. That’s the sign of the genuine article. Tony Uribe falls into this category. The feeling he projects through his soulful singing and tasteful guitar work is completely sincere. Tony takes his music seriously. Every note is honest and heartfelt, burning with passion. This is contemporary blues, built on a foundation of respect for tradition. On this foundation, and out of this respect, Tony has developed a style all his own: a style with style. I mean style like a ’58 Buick ragtop has style. That’s class!

   Whether it’s lowdown, or uptown, Tony and band aim the beat at your feet. When they take the stage, dance floors fill up. They don’t just dance where he plays; they follow him wherever he plays. This is “feel good” music. When the band feels good, the crowd feels good. And his band always feels good. Tony’s conduct as a gentleman of the blues, his gracious invitations to young up and coming musicians to sit in, and his commitment to quality have garnered him the respect of his contemporaries, too. He’s shared the stage with bluesmen as diverse as Homesick James and Ronnie Earl, while the area’s top musicians jump at the chance to fill in whenever the opportunity arises.” – Marty Kool  (DJ host of the Saturday evening Blues Review every week from 6 to 9 pm on Tucson’s KXCI 91.3 FM Community Radio.)
