Exploration around the grid should be done with all our senses. With so many various art forms to grasp always keep an open mind and ear to the latest and greatest creative minds. AVENUE is proud to feature many creative talents each month.
"LISP Bazaar"
Interiors | Page 196
Written by ShaiLi Alex & Photography by Brie Wonder
LISP Bazaar is a magnificent decorations and furniture store, tastefully created by Pandora Popstar. The store is composed of several rooms of decorated furniture that are ideal for all tastes, and excellent for people who appreciate the little details that always give a touch of charm and elegance. Each creation has something very special; a certain charm that makes us want to buy the whole store. Each decoration seems a work of art; unique, vivid colors that give harmony to the environment. Sitting for an interview, Pandora gave me more details about her personal life and the creation of LISP Bazaar. Read along and enjoy.
"Country club living at its finest"
Sim Review | Page 208
Written by Sensuous Soulstar & Photography by Brie Wonder
Luxury. Class. Immaculate living. Words that most equate with wealth and fortune. Yet, what if you could have these things without having the wealth? What if you could live in luxury without belonging to the upper echelon, but instead live with them? And what if you could do all of these things at some of the most reasonable prices in Second Life®?
"Lunamaruna: Dr. Seuss meets Van Gogh"
Interesting Sims | Page 224
Written by Sensuous Soulstar & Photography by Annough Lykin
The creatively ingenious writer known as Dr. Seuss once surmised: “I like nonsense; it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living. It's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope, which is what I do, and that enables you to laugh at life's realities.” And while this piece isn’t dedicated to Dr. Seuss, it is a salute to fantasy, to looking through the wrong end of a telescope and creating greatness. It is a salute to the creative geniuses that think beyond two-dimensional worlds and use their imagination, immense talent and creativity to bring to life a world of fantasy, a world of fun, and a world that brings a smile to everyone who passes.
"Music by Quanah: a teleport to euphoria"
Music Review | Page 270
Written by Jesika Contepomi & Photography by Paola Tauber
Quanah, known only by his first name, has taken the Second Life® live music scene by storm. Recently, some of the AVENUE staff and I had the amazing privilege to be in attendance at his debut show at The Village's Club Graffiti, and I must say, you honestly couldn't help but be mesmerized by his talent.
"Inside the mind of Iono Allen"
Media Mojo | Page 284
Written by Sensuous Soulstar & Photography by Tillie Ariantho
He is a man who needs no introduction. His work speaks for itself. He creates from his inspirations and turns art and installations into leading characters in his film. He is Iono Allen. To call him just a machinamator would be an understatement. He is a visionary who manages to turn art into a character in his film, whose only lines are the images that create stories in the viewer. Join AVENUE as we take a moment to explore the mind behind such astounding films as “Birth,” “A Question of Honor,” and his latest film, “The Red Zone.”

"I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn't say any other way - things I had no words for." Georgia O'Keeffe
Second Life offers us a truly different perspective on the world of art, creativity and overall visual inspiration. As we journey across the grid to find those with a voice, evoking thought and maybe even changing the world, we share our experiences with some of Second Life's most creative thinkers.
"Machinima for Deep Thinkers: A Journey into the Metaverse by Tutsy Navarathna"
Media Mojo | Page 206
Written by Isadora Fiddlesticks & Photography by Tillie Ariantho
While much of machinima is made to entertain, some are made to make us ponder. Upon watching Tutsy Navarathna’s new machinima masterpiece, A Journey into the Metaverse, my long-buried questions about how our Second Life® avatar and our real life selves connect once again came to light.
"Art for Life: the art.AVENUE experience"
Arts Feature | Page 228
Written by Tandra Parx & Photography by Annough Lykin
Every year the AVENUE of Life team presents glorious and fascinating events that combine fashion, beauty and art to create a symbol of the movement: our stand to support and help the millions of people that fight cancer every day. The American Cancer Society and the Relay For Life of SL have raised over $1 million since 2005, and AVENUE of Life continues to make all efforts to strengthen this cause with diverse approaches reaching out to every part of Second Life®, especially in the fashion, music and art communities.
"Clarity through Art"
Arts Feature | Page 240
Written by Sarahelisebeth Brenham & Photography Blaz Halfpint
“The truth shall set you free.” These simple words have been spoken since the beginning of time. For some people, it takes more than words to heed this piece of advice; that is where Layachi Ihen comes in.
"Zebra Thursday: Listen to the Voices in Your Head"

No words can do her work justice. She creates as she feels, and she lets the journey drive her creative force. One need only look at her work to feel a certain awe at the creations before you. Yet, there are often unanswered questions. What is the emotion behind the scene? Do I really understand what I’m seeing, and am I even supposed to?

Do you ever stop to smell the roses? Look around you and wonder how it all came to be? Each month AVENUE takes you inside some of the most stunning creations on the grid. This month we're proud to feature both lesser known spots and the massive creativity's from those more well known.
"Anna’s Many Murders A Descent into Madness Portrayed in Second Life®"
Interesting Sims | Page 160
Written by Spruce Canning & Photography by Tillie Ariantho
There are many sims in-world; some with heavenly scenes and tranquil gardens, and then there are those that resemble a horror film, such as Dance Macabre, that would bring nightmares to even the most jaded resident of Second Life®. Bryn Oh’s Anna’s Many Murders ranks in the second category. Not only does it chronicle a young woman’s descent into insanity, it also strips away the protective cocoon that the 21st Century man has constructed for himself in the form of smart phones, tablets, and other mobile devices with their myriad of applications that immerse the individual into his own private world, ignoring the collective world around him. I spoke with Bryn Oh about the sim and the grim message that it sends to man, and the potential loss of humanity that having mobile technology and programs to seal one off from reality.
"Décor to Fall in Love With"
Architecture & More | Page 176
Written by Augusta Carver & Photography by Brie Wonder
When I visit someone’s home in Second Life®, I almost always see something that I love; from a picture hanging on the wall, to the home itself. Renting or buying, there are way too many choices to deal with. Since my first days in-world, I have fallen in love with SL™ homes. The possibilities are endless. And for me, even though it seems overwhelming to find the right place to live or the right piece of furniture to complement a home, I can never have too many options. Buying a house or trying out furniture is like a mini SL adventure in itself. Sometimes you know what you want, other times you have no clue, but along the way you discover great textures, clean lines, and amazing details. Builder Froukje Hoorenbeek of Dutchie Furniture fell in love with homes and building herself, and has since created a brand that delivers inspiration and amazingly realistic furniture and homes within SL.
"Running the Course with the Avatar Games"
Sports & Recreation | Page 188
Written by Sensuous Soulstar & Photography by Ozz Larsson
While Bryn Oh is a name that never needs an introduction, her latest build just might. Given the serious, profound nature of the work that she has come to be known for, the LEA Art Games, or Avatar Games as they’re commonly known, is something a little more fun, and a lot more lighthearted from the mind of Oh. Participants make their way through an obstacle course while avoiding somewhat difficult obstacles and traps, and of course, dodging shots (both literally and figuratively!) from the audience and the commentators. This month, we take a moment to catch the famed builder and creative genius to get a better idea of this exciting new form of entertainment in Second Life®, and to really figure out if the virtual bumps and bruises are all worth it in the end.
"Virtual museums: the next incarnation of architecture in Second Life®"
Business Feature | Page 198
Written by Spruce Canning & Photography by Blaz Halfpint
When one talks of architecture in Second Life®, there is one place that comes to mind and that is the Virtual Museum, formerly known as The Frank Lloyd Wright Museum. According to Rosalie Oldrich, Exceutive Director of the Virtual Museum, the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation revoked the licensing agreement with the Virtual Museum in December 2010 for use of the name. The Virtual Museum is a virtual showcase of architecture from different historical periods, such as the recreation of Monticello, the home designed and built by the third President of the United States, Thomas Jefferson, as well as building styles from the last century and even futuristic concepts by contemporary architects such as I.M. Pei and others.
