Moonletters X is running a photo contest for Shauna’s Subculture line of clothing. Do not mistake this name for something to do with BDSM clothing. Shauna is much more into British Mod and Sixties fashion.
When SL ran it’s Mad Men promotion at Marketplace, they featured clothes from her store and rightly so.
I love this Starchild mesh outfit.

Hey. I think someone in your dictatorship has been fiddling with the NationStates classifications. lol

Yes, more often than not my government is described as “Corrupt Dictatorship” but I am proud that other descriptors say my Economy is Strong or Good, Civil Rights are Good, and Freedoms, well, er … Few. My regional influence is “Powerbroker,” which is hard to believe.
Thanks for your encouragement and for getting Penny Lane rolling. Wish we could get more people to play!
To clarify. Nothing wrong with making your store available to writers. It’s the control aspect that’s a little amazing here. Instead of being grateful to the writers who will be giving them promotion, they want to control how it’s done. When you do it that way it no longer becomes a sincere review but an advertisement. Agree with what both you and Seren have said.
Wow. Just read that. The whole thing reeks of arrogance. A store wanting writers to fill an application to review their stuff! They should be contacting the writers and hoping *we* accept them… not vice versa.

The more I think about it, you’re right. After all, is there a clause that if they don’t produce a certain amount of product in a given month, the obligation to scrape the bottom of their barrel just to review something is null?
But, I do like their clothes, so I’m not holding that against them.
Yay. Five years SL has been lucky to have Paypabak writer in it. Happy rez day, Pay, and great article.

Thank you, Shauna! So happy to have known you for most of that time and looking forward to more good times together!
Thanks for the kind words Pay. Awww! :) Also, I’m sure Karma will be thrilled you mentioned her blog. I really enjoy reading her writing too.

Easy to throw about compliments when they are deserved!—PW
I am totally biased about Moonletters.com. I love editor Shauna to bits and she gave me a place to get my writing chops honed. She did the same for a number of excellent writers (Jellie Arrowmint, Feral Mossrider, Lacewing Mesmerizer, Serendipidy Haven) as well as pointed others out (Emerald’s Eyes). Right before she kicked us all off her staff, she started posting the musings of Karma Avedon, whom I instantly admired. I truly felt that of all the blogs focused on Second Life, Moonletters boasted the best staff of writers on the Web. That is an amazing legacy!
But enough about the past! Karma has had to do like the rest of us poor castaways, put together her own blog. It’s a goody! She’s beautiful, wears great outfits, and has a fine eye for unusual sims. It would all go for naught, however, if she wasn’t a gifted writer. Read for yourself!
