What a great year 2010 has been for us. 



THE A LIST! tries to network everyone's business interests here in Second Life by providing a vehicle of transparency. We allow you to use this group for your needs. We even allow you to form your own group by using our resources to network. We do not restrict much except for the big no no's. We want our notices to be informative without drama or unsavory language. And, most of all, we respect you as business owners, group owners, club/venue owners, and artists/musicians.



The benefits are great for us, too. We get to hang out with you and attend great parties when we have the time. We go to your events because we really want to; not just because you are in our group. We applaud joyously for our musicians. We believe in you and we truly enjoy your music.









What we hope is that you all understand that we are doing the best we can with the limited resources and man-power to blog and social network your interests. Please do not allow your feelings to fester. Communicate with us if you see a problem or criticism. We are not perfect. And, real life often interferes with our schedule, so sometimes we can not be where we want to be with you.




We have also started a new flickr group called THE A LIST! Virtual. Please join us and share your photos. We want to tell everyone about your personal and business interests. Help us to spread the word about you!










Please feel free to post or comment your info on our virtual sites:

Notes from editor: I want to take Frolic's message one step further. For all of you who have been hurt by recent changes in search rankings or by the economics of the grid, his suggestion of changing something to make your product or service better is a good one. I would also suggest testing your keywords or changing them to better fit the new criteria for search. And for retail, have some inexpensive items at your store for those of us who are on a tight budget. Change the old textures or scripts to better suit the modern grid or network with your colleagues for a promotional tie-in. And, most important of all, provide excellent customer service because "word of mouth" is the best seller of your products! 



Thank you to Frolic Mills, BlackBarbie Bravin and BOSL for their submission of this raffle info for THE A LIST! blog.

Fashion Resources

Oh the jeans! I am completely addicted to these jeans for three simple reasons.

Reason one: The textures are absolutely fabulous!

Reason two: They don't show my butt in any shape or fashion. Despite what folks might tell you, crack is not sexy or appealing in any way!

Reason three: Oh my goodness! Someone made jeans without rips or tears in them!



P.S. The store behind me is called What Next and has some very cute, quality furnishings that are low prim and best of all low cost!

It's becoming a habit with us... Tuesday nights with Syriana Paine. But, tonight Syri wasn't feeling well, so Rocky stepped in to do the honors.





Rockridge Constantine kept the promise from last week to do a total Madonna set tonight at Jakes Club Resort. Woot!





Baz Ceawlin sent out a shout so off we went. I saw Vixie Durant from Ministry of Motion there dancing along with everyone.



For a Tuesday night, the party seems non-stop... and that's a good thing!
