We’ve created a new category here on Slinkmag called The Weird, the Wonderful & the WTF a product of one of mine and Perdi’s (Perdita Muggins) brainstorming sessions held via IM in SL while she was flitting about madly acquiring parcels on the mainland and I was just as madly building sculptures on a beach in Gemini Elysia. I thought it best to inaugurate this wacky category with another collaboration – that of Eliza Quinzet, owner of Pygmalion Gallery in Second Life® and... more
Shoes, Glorious, Virtual Shoes
Maitreya Gold Salience Emerald I am a shoe freak. In RL I am an obsessed collector and have…well I won’t tell you how many pair I have because I honestly don’t know. Let’s just says lots.

Finding Poetry in the Temple of Sighs
There are hidden places in SL, secret places that hide magic and dreams. A princess seeking knowledge and beauty wandered for days and nights to find a place she had heard only in whispers. “Mayhap you will find The Temple of Sighs”, said the whispers. “Within that ancient and lonely place is an oracle, a beauteous goddess that relies on a magic sculpture called the Thirteen Winds.
