The new sim Cascade Rezzable, slideshow from the grand opening and fashion show

Slideshow: Arm Strom

Hot and icemelting fashion show at "Cascade", the new Rezzable sim in Second life

The Cascade iceberg with interesting spots and shopping center, was opened with a fashion show on the 21.04.08.

Text and snapshots: Arm Strom.

The impressing mountain is designed by the architect My Mackenzie and the volcanos by Foolish Frost. Botany Black is also among the constructors. 6 persons have been working with the sim.

Some fashion designers mentioned: Moxie Polano, Forda Fairlane, Collie Cline and Trysta Lacey. All the hair worn with the "Rezzable line" is created by My Mackenzie. Emee Flanagan hosted the show, and Dj Aryon did play the music.

From the local chat: "Applause, applause", "Great job", Great show", "Big thanks to My Mackenzie", "Great music", "Awesome job", "Great job to everyoone", "Rezzable rocks", "I love that outfit", "That was great, i am bloody freezin though", "Now i love a drink with ice", "Awesome sim", "My is the great builder", "Well done My, it is really clever and original", "Great music deserves a tip", "Want to build a snowman Fort?", ....... "I am gonna go explore".

It was a great experience. I have to see the mountain from more angels, and from the outside too!

Grief seeking by starlight?

'Sofian the SLiberator' in aerial combat with a dragon?

SLaH offices continue to receive reports of Sofian sightings. Most of these seem to be from cranks and attention seekers. However, the editorial offices do consider that the photographs shown here may be genuine. (Look closely to see a figure with hot-pink hair... is this Sofian?) The following message was sent along with the images.

Translation of the above message:
I was woken up by a terrible noise! I looked out the window and I saw a dragon and a woman dueling in the night sky!
I took a couple of photographs on my phone to show you. I think this is the mysterious grief seeker Sofian looking for trouble.
What do you think?

Is this Sofian?

Sofian the SLiberator?

Rumours abound! Some say the Editor in Chief of Second Life at Hand has been kidnapped and a huge Linden dollar ransom is being demanded. Others have heard that she has retreated to become a Buddhist nun. Yet others suggest that she has become addicted to camping and is snoozing in a shopping mall.

The most recent suggestion is that she was following a hot lead as part of her research into griefers. Her usually very tidy office desk was found covered with a pile of blog posts which all made references to griefers. Amongst these was a page of scrawled hand writing with a slurl so badly smudged it was unreadable. This same page had the words 'griefers? griefers? griefers?' written all over it.

The theory here at SLaH is that Sofian followed this lead and has somehow met up with the SLiberation Brigade. We believe she has joined them and is now fighting SLinjustice, avatar imposters and grief to make Second Life a better place for all.

The photo above was taken by an anonymous source using disabled camera constraints at an unnamed location. Close examination of the original photograph makes us 27% certain that this is indeed ‘Sofian the Sliberator’.
