Prim Perfect Issue 10 now available!

Hi everyone – and welcome to the June issue of Prim Perfect!

This month, our magazine is a little different. Instead of featuring a single sim of the month, with residential properties, we are focusing on the opening of two commercial sims. Commercial? Yes. But Rustica and Elements in Design are sims that both offer tremendous experiences for the visitor – not to mention a wealth of goodies to buy. We have feature articles on both of these new sims, and interviews with their creators – Maxwell Graf and Gwen Carillon. And we also look at the opening of the new PRrim Designs store – and see how Prad Prithivi and Rrishanna Regina are moving in interesting new directions.

And our star competition will give two lucky readers a chance to win complete sets of furniture by Maxwell Graf and Gwen Carillon!

For the Landscape of the Month, Alesia Markstein reports on the utterly fascinating exhibition that was Not Possible in Real Life. And we feature interviews with three of the creators too.

And M0lly Dench embarks on a journey through time and space with a Time Lord and his intrepid assistant to bring back an account of one of the most fascinating builds in Second Life – the Etheric Travelling Cabinet.

Plus we return to the Galaxy, the fabulous three-sim liner designed by Bill Stirling, to find out what Bill and his team have been up to since we visited for the launch, a year ago.

Then we have news of a series of live concerts sponsored by Prim Perfect, Associated Northcliffe Digital and Radio Riel. All through the summer and autumn, we have arranged for the top live performers to pay tribute to their favourite artists on Tribute Island. Find out who’s playing, who they’ve chosen to pay tribute to – and when you can see them!

And we have the start of a new regular column that we’ve been promising ourselves since the magazine began. So far we’ve looked at lovely gardens – now we’re going to suggest ways in which you can create one of your own! This month, our new gardening correspondent Kaye Robbiani looks at two major trends in Victorian gardening – and the female gardener who drew them both together. And her article is illustrated by pictures from her own garden, as she shows you how you can achieve these effects in Second Life.

Then there’s also news of an important new group you can join – as Bailey Longcloth suggests a way in which store owners and customers can make better contact with each other through Homestyle Consolidated.

Our Charity News tells you all about the opening of Nonprofit Commons 2, the new island managed by Techsoup and the Wishing Tree, created by Sue Stonebender in support of kiva.org, the nonprofit making small business loans to entrepreneurs in the developing world.

All this – plus advice for newbies about megaprims, our regular Treasure Hunt, News from the Grid, a fun quiz by our own Moodyloner Korobase (who also solves several problems by proffering advice about SLetiquette) … and more!
