Let's Visit Info Island International!




Second Life has loads of exciting places. When I'm not designing clothes, I spend most of my time on Info Island International. I serve as a greeter and as the day-to-day manager for the island, which was created as a gateway to international experience in SL. I took this picture in the German House, which has a cozy Musik Salon upstairs, lined with portraits of notable German composers. If you click on any portrait, you get a lengthy biography of the composer. Pretty neat. It would be a great place for a music history professor to bring a small group of students. I like to just come and relax or play a little Bach on the piano.


The skirt I'm wearing for this visit is one I call "Country Lace." It's made of a grass-green linen fabric with a wide Irish lace border at the hem. It's a nice everyday skirt, one that you can wear shopping or visiting friends, or if you decide to take in an afternoon concert. I sell it with a deep green V-neck blouse that has a narrow piping around the neck. I think green looks terrific on a redhead, don't you?


On the other side of Info Island International is Mi Pueblo, a southwestern-style cantina that features a dance floor and a bar where you can get a wonderful margarita and all the tapas you can eat. My friend, Marimar, has special events here almost every month. (Yes, that's snow in the background, but it isn't cold. This is Second Life, after all.)


When I visited here today, I decided to wear my long cotton "Floral Spring" skirt. Don't you love the watercolor flowers? I think they have a very soft, Spring-like feel. The pastel colors and wide flexi panels are very showy! I like to wear this skirt with my pale yellow keyhole blouse. The neck has a wide border around it and it's closed in front by a brass ring. I sell the skirt and blouse separately, but they go well together, don't you think?


I'll show you more of my favorite island in another post. Don't wait for me, though. Visit today. There are places to learn about many world cultures and languages, and quiet parks where you can sit and watch swans or hang by your heels from the branch of an apple tree. The people are friendly too.
