So my plan for today was putting a new vintage jazz set together for tomorrow's Tea Dance at the #SecondLife Timeless Vibes Lounge. When I was having breakfast, I switched on TV and saw a documentary about the #1980s, #NeueDeutscheWelle. Gosh... the MEMORIES! 🎹🎧💕

A collage of vibrant screenshots from the virtual world of Second Life, featuring an airshow in a scenic mountainous landscape. The top left panel shows three blue and yellow stunt planes ascending in formation with colored smoke trails (blue, yellow, green). The top right panel captures the planes performing loop maneuvers, creating colorful smoke rings in the sky (Brasilian Smoke Squadron). The bottom panel shows a dynamic wingwalker performance: a person in a yellow and black jumpsuit stands atop a red vintage biplane in flight, followed by more biplanes with wingwalkers, soaring above a detailed airstrip with aircraft, hangars, and a backdrop of forested mountains (Anemone WingWalkers). The overall atmosphere is festive and full of motion, showcasing virtual aerobatics and community creativity.

One of my personal highlights in #SecondLife is the annual Fly For Life Expo and the airshows they do. I tried to capture the magic, but of course it's better to see them in motion.

Airshows are over but the expo will go on until April 29, lots to see and do there. SLURL in comment.

This is the magic of alpha attachment order priority.

This has always existed in some form, but was codified into a set list in recent years along with overhauls to SL's backend.

Thanks so much for posting this, I had never heard about it before 👍

Just too bad I have so many unrigged shorter hair styles where I have no other choice than alpha masking my eyelashes 🙄

👍Couldn't agree more. I hate having to spend more and more time to check socials instead of just being inworld.

Plus, I've been wondering the same about Prim Network. They do have TOS and Privacy Policy - but who is behind the "we" besides an avatar with the name PrimNetwork?

A picture taken in the virtual world of #SecondLife: A female avatar sits on a cracked sidewalk in a dark, abandoned street, leaning against a worn metal fence. The dimly lit scene features ruins in the background, adding to the eerie, desolate atmosphere.

"What's the point?"

A digital screenshot from #secondlife features a female avatar in a flowing red dress, gracefully floating in mid-air as if dancing. The background is an abstract blend of blue tones, creating a dreamy, surreal atmosphere. The avatar's pose conveys elegance and movement, with the vibrant red of the dress standing out against the cool, ethereal backdrop.

Doesn't happen very often anymore, but sometimes, inspiration strikes while doing something mundane, like shopping. So this is what became of "I want a picture with this!" #secondlife #SLphotography

Mmhmm... I took this pic there last week 😊

Interesting location and interesting outfits, for sure. But I want to feed the models 🥺🙃

An SL user asks @philiprosedale.bsky.social if the company can just ban all AI bots from Second Life.

Philip says if that happens, "Will we all have to take a Voight-Kampf test every few days?"

Wow, congrats!
