SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT — Pre Fabulous

*Pre Fabulous*

Pre Fabulous began in 2006 when Fornicola Butuzova and Amo Lambeau began creating buildings they sold, to earn spending money to support their shopping and partying habits in Second Life. Sale by sale their business grew until 2009 when they both decided that it was time to go full time and create homes, stores, and other buildings in Second Life for a living.

Pre Fabulous does not follow the “Features and Fashion” way of thinking about building in SL, they rather take a more narrative approach to serving the needs of Second Life residents. Their belief is that people come to Second Life to realize fantasies or express some other ideal of themselves. If they want to fall in love in a tropical paradise, be the toast of the Manhattan skyline, or the Lord of a mighty kingdom, whatever their dream maybe they need help.

Rather than chase trends, Forni and Amo, focused on helping Second Life players tell their story. They created buildings that have a reason for existing, buildings that convey an emotional connection to the story their customers want to tell. One of their core beliefs is “A house is made of bricks… A home is made of cracks”. It is the cracks that tell the story of a house that say something about why it is there, who lived there, of the experiences that were shared, between its walls.

Why not Try and see things from a different angle?

I’m a hetrosexual male, I need to make this clear before I go further with this post. However I’ve always found Shirley Bassey to be a great singer and in all honesty, she has a song that I feel is appropriate for Second Life users.

The thing is Second Life doesn’t advertise itself well, whenever I come to my own blog I see adverts for IMVU, I’d be much happier seeing adverts for Second Life.

Nebula Art Gallery Closing May 14th

The Nebula Art Gallery is going to close on May 14th. Where? I hear you ask … I asked the same question and it’s on my bloody land! Curator and artist Skye Donardson informed me last night that she’d be ending her rental on May 14th and then told me she had an art gallery, at which point I berated her for not telling me, called her names, poked her with sticks and then agreed to blog about it. What makes this worse is that my headquarters are based in this sim!

I should also point out that Skye is a sometimes commenter at The Alphaville Herald … so be nice! Indeed I’ve exchanged almost as many pleasantries with Skye on herald blog posts as I have inworld, she’s in the no trouble at all renter category.

So I popped to the gallery for a look, first of all this is on moderate land and there are one or two moderate themes, so if the sight of a willy is going to alarm you, don’t come here! However there are some nice displays of art here and some interesting concepts.

So I asked Skye to let me know what’s going on there and she sent me a notecard.

Talk to us, like Lovers do

Jezebel Bailey has taken up the Relay For Life baton from me, whereas I covered Fantasy Faire 2011, our Jezebel is covering the Relay For Life Home & Garden expo and to that end has already put the spotlight on two of the sponsors, Stonewood Homes & Interiors and Shameless Bits. I thought I’d inform you of this as an example of communication, because communication remains an issue with Linden Lab, most notably the blog, but also information that doesn’t get blogged.

Blog updates have been discussed by Tateru Nino, in a blog post that saw the strange appearance of the ghost of John Howard Galt, who has a strange view on communications to say the least.
