One Day My Prince Will Come

One Day My Prince Will Come

The phrase 'you gotta kiss a lot of frogs' before you find the prince never much appealed to me in real life let alone in SL. In SL you're expected to go a lot further than kissing before your prince will reveal himself and that doesn't much appeal to me either.  I'm not judging. If [...]

Look for the Bare Necessities

Look for the Bare Necessities

Everyone's a critic! I've noticed it a lot this week in Second Life particularly. Now, I believe constructive criticism is important.

Ready to Take a Leap of Faith?

Ready to Take a Leap of Faith?

Finding that special person, your SLife companion isn't easy. You just have to look at facebook or talk with a group of friends about past relationships to realise how many frogs there have been before there is any sign of the birth of a Prince.  When you have been stung badly by someone who has [...]

You Can’t Make Greed Look Pretty – The Flickr Bump Row Continues
