Community certainly rhymes with Orange in Second Life.
On Wednesday (26th March), Radio Riel hosted a very special ball on Orange Island 4.
Orange Island is a community of 4 sims owned by the British multimedia company, Orange, which has established a presence in Second Life to share, engage, and build community.
One of the ways Orange seeks to meet these goals is by holding events that enhance the lives of Second Life Residents.
Orange is also interested in exploring community development opportunities. You can learn more about Orange Island and their events at http://www.orange-island.com.
The ball was a traditional formal Victorian Ball with 11 dances and dance cards, with Victorian attire requested. Music and commentary was provided by Radio Riel – who also supplied the build.
Sometimes, beautiful builds can be achieved surprisingly quickly.
This one was glorious – an open air Victorian ballroom with a beautiful checkerered floor, a gallery, and romantoc gardens around, complete with gazebos and weeping willows. All this was constructed (by Gabrielle Riel, Edwina Heron and Roberto Viking) in the space of a couple of days – and it will be up for a little while, so you really should take the opportunity to see it while you can!
Certainly it inspired Paolo Bade, the Prim Perfect photographer, some of whose pictures of the event appear here.
More about the Orange Island projects will be coming shortly.
