- About Virtually Olivia -
Welcome to the chronicle of places I go, and events I attend in my Second Life travels. I post lots of photos and landmarks to get to stops I recommend. Most of this blog - but not all - is dedicated to educational builds or places pertaining to education. I am an ardent Second Life traveler, and this blog reflects that.

An awesome day at the Relay for Life Clothing Faire! And my dear friend Cat hit a home run with her mention on Roland Zepp’s Fashion Sense Blog
Be sure to see her shop and donate to the cause by purchasing her gorgeous pink gowns.

Question the new rulings about adult content on Second Life. Although it perhaps started off with best intentions, it is spiraling off kilter.

mannequins ascending a staircase
I've recently joined a very fun group...
Thess's Mannequins Travel Second Life.. they try to find unique, gorgeous or totally wicked places and will stay there for a while.. could be 3 days.. or 1 hour.. all depends on the mood of the Mannequins.

new citizens area - sorry cannot recommend this area at all! I saw this recommended on the SLED list, so I tried it out. While there i was propositioned by vampires, land rentals, and sex sluts. I also was nearly run over by someone learning how to ride a simboard in the courtyard.

Locus
* ESHI - A DB Bailey and Eshi Otawara collaboration for the Stanford Libraries at Locus *
Designed by DB Bailey, this exhibition features fabric samples from traditional Japanese kimonos that date back to the late 1800's, combined with selections from Eshi Otawara's stellar Winter-Spring Collection that incorporates elements born of spring, power, strength, and light from within, while embracing softness, curves, blossoms, and lightness. Importantly, there are symbols from Japan within her collection, from airy blooms to powerful petals, all with a wonderful blend of coloration, patterns, and contrasts.
The fabrics belong to the prized collection held by the Stanford University Library. The full collection can be viewed at the Stanford site: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Stanford%20University%20Libraries/131/137/133
