STILETTO MOODY BARE ©
____________________________

Stiletto Moody BARE © Is more than just a new season, its an evolution of shoe design in Second Life. The fully sculpted foot-in-a-shoe eliminates the need to suffer the “… Flintstone foot, that ungainly lump at the end of my avatar’s leg,” as Stiletto Moody puts it.

“It’s been the bane of my existence.” she adds, “Every time I designed a shoe I needed to compromise its proportions to it fit my avatar’s foot. So I created my own foot and ankle system allowing me to design the shoes that I really want to make, worn on a foot I really want to have.”


The Stiletto Moody BARE © system offers a myriad of configurable options through its scripting technology and built in menu including:
- Color matching to any avatar skin
- Ankle resizing to avatar shapes
- A full range of nail polishes on every foot.
- Toe rings options for both feet
- ColorSet fatpacks
- Changing metal colors where the shoes have buckles
- Heel click sounds, a sexy walk and bling where appropriate
- Powerful menu to control all features

More features will follow in 2009 as the line expands and the new range is easily identifiable by the familiar Stiletto Moody heart logo undersole embossed with “BARE”

To celebrate the introduction Stiletto Moody will be opening her new BARE room at Stiletto Moody's store to accommodate an expanding line of fashion-progressive women’s heels in 2009. At launch Stiletto Moody will offer two gorgeous strappy high heel sandals using the BARE system allowing avatars to show-off almost naked feet in beautiful towering heels, and a peep- toe pump. Now avatars can have a foot to be celebrated rather than hidden. This new visual standard for women’s shoes in secondlife will offer an evolutionary and proportionally correct shoe true to real life fashion. The new styles flatter the leg and show off the high arches. With a refined catwalk balance – they are feminine yet dangerous – so walk strong – walk sexy – walk elegant – walk woman - in all Stiletto Moody BARE ©, a sublime and sensual foot shape and shoe.

This time Working Worlds will have some of the biggest employers in Europe present and they will be interviewing candidates in their virtual offices. GAX Technologies has made its mark in Second Life with their hugely successful in-world Career Fairs. Every six months the Working Worlds/ GAX Technologies Career Fair is held and each fair has been larger than it's predecessor, thus making the sky the limit for the Working Worlds Career Fairs. To help job hunters learn more about the fair and how it will benefit them there will be conferences and e-learning sessions at the Working Worlds location in-world. Working Worlds offers everything possible to help ensure the success of the job seekers.

This months career fair is off to an exciting start with 3,500 candidates from all over Europe who have submitted their CVs online. In order to participate as a career seeker go to the Working Worlds' website www.working-worlds.com and register your CV it's a very easy process and gets you well on your way to finding not just another job but to finding a career in the field of your dreams. The fair that was held May 2008 brought 2,900 visitors, 2,767 candidates who filed their CVs and 600 official interviews that took place. The previous one before that brought 2,000 visitors, 1,500 candidates who registered their CVs and 300 interviews that took place. As you can see the difference in the numbers between the first and second events were astounding. The amount of candidates grew immensely and the amount of interviews doubled.

Cornelia den Hartog, Managing Director of 'GAX Technologies' and organizer of the Career Fairs is entirely convinced; 'The need for companies to attract new profiles from beyond the territorial limits is becoming more and more important. 'The 'Working Worlds' Career Fairs are in itself the most efficient solutions currently available to these companies without having to deploy significant resources. Our partners will be directly in touch with candidates who will not have to travel, but who may meet their future employer "Live" on Second Life'.

The Working Worlds sim gives a career seeker the opportunity to do something they cannot do outside of a virtual world. One can get up out of bed, walk over to the computer, and be interviewed without having to change clothing or pay travel expenses to interview with recruiters from prestigious companies for a job that he/she is qualified for. Having such a recruitment tool like a career fair in Second Life definitely makes the impossible seem possible and places the world of opportunities at a career seeker's fingertips. As we have stated before, it really does not get any easier than this and the results can be just as rewarding for both the employer and the job seeking employee.

SL Shakespeare Company :: Twelfth Night

The SL Shakespeare Company Returns to Shakespeare with Twelfth Night— In Their Usual Trademarked Extravagance…

Shakespeare, Second Life: The SL Shakespeare Company (SLSC) will perform a full ensemble performance of Shakespeare's Twelfth Night: Act 1 in a special short-run advance miniseason as part of their Fall Season 2008 repertoire. Opening on SLSC Thursday, November 13th (following a "sneak peek" on November 12th), the full-length Act 1 is the first part of the culmination of a summer's worth of rehearsal-performances in SLSC's tag-team staged reading series of Twelfth Night.

Maintaining the Company's tradition of excellence in visual and theatrical extravagance, the miniproduction also introduces the usage of multiple rotating sets, incognito animation preloading, global lighting and weather control to SLSC stagecraft technologies. Live dynamic camera control by a director finetunes the performance with a cinematic appeal, while international subtitles, the SLSC's "Pay as you Will" philosophy, and the play's location in the confluence of four island simulators of the SL Globe Theatre make the performance accessible to as many as possible.

Directed by Ina Centaur and Voice Directed by Enniv Zarf, the production stars MadameThespian Underhill, Joff Fassnacht, Prospero Frobozz, Ludo Merit, Maedin Tureaud, and Lorne Harlequin, and also a motley cast of "silent actors" who create a different variation of a background crowd each time.

Miniseason schedule (All times SLT or GMT-8):
Wednesday, Nov 12 - 11 am "sneak peek"
Thursday, Nov 13 - high noon
Friday, Nov 14 - 1 PM
Saturday, Nov 15 - 2 pm - (ticketed)*
Sunday - no show
Monday, Nov 17 - high noon

* Most of the shows at the SL Globe Theatre are free, but VIP/ticketed shows charge a nominal admissions fee of L$500. The smaller audience may entice.

>>> ABOUT The Company: <<<

The SL Shakespeare Company (SLSC) is a resident-funded and resident-supported professional theatre company that embraces the best of what Second Life (SL) has to offer. Since 2007, we have been making history by providing extravagant and unforgettable theatrical performances on Second Life.

Their vision is to make live Shakespearean theatre available to anyone anywhere with a computer to create new possibilities in entertainment, culture, and commerce for residents of a diverse, unbounded geosphere. Those are the side effects of our mission: to make Shakespeare cool again!

However, to give it platform it deserves, they will be holding a great party in honor of the participants as well as the winners. On Sunday, October 19th at 1pm SL time, you are cordially invited to the party of the weekend!

Not only will they be announcing the winner of a prize pack worth over 70K lindens, but they will be releasing 10 new makeups! That’s right, Lion has outdone herself while on holiday and created some beautiful new makeups that surely dare to impress. Bold explosions of color sprinkled across the flesh to make fur fun and excitement.

Not only have they prepared some of the most unique makeups to hit the metaverse, MADesigns has most graciously agreed to create new shapes for this launch. Developed to fit perfectly with the skins, Maddox DuPont has managed to exceed expectations yet again, and construct brilliantly executed shapes to coincide with the release of the skins. This release is styled to perfection by model/writer/stylist Thalia Jie from MAD Image who brings elegance and realism to MADesigns Shapes.

So please, if you would, take the time to join us on Sunday, October 19th at 1pm SL time. DJ Kromus Korobase will be providing the entertainment. We hope to see you all there. For any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact Olyvia Zenovka, Lionskins Manager.
