The October Issue of Prim Perfect is now available!
Welcome to our Halloween issue of Prim Perfect – but this time we haven’t just gone for spookily scary – although you’ll find plenty of that too!
First of all, our inworld readers will discover that we have adopted a new format – the Intellibook. This will give you the exciting new choice of being able to link to the stores you see featured in our advertisements when you read us inworld. There are landmarks embedded – and there is the possibility of embedding postcards too. And if you look carefully, you’ll find free gifts embedded on some pages – this is a treasure hunt of a magazine!
Our region of the month is a quite amazing place called The Epic Toy Factory. Tricia Aferdita explored it for us and Scoitti Lyle has a fascinating interview with its owner and creator, Mayah Parx, who is our Designer of the Month. Java Jetcity highlights eight places you must see in the Toy Factory, while Suzanne Bisiani steels up her courage and discovers Halloween in the Toy Factory!
We haven’t neglected Halloween elsewhere in the magazine either! Various Prim Perfect reporters (and photographers) have bravely picked out their own favourite creepy places for you to visit – and there’s even a comic to show what happened when Rowan Derryth and PJ Trenton encountered some unexpected inhabitants in The Village of Nyght!
If you are inspired by all things Halloween, Ceejay Writer has some advice for you on Creating a Midnight Garden, while Miss Annechen Lowey has Advice for Newcomers on how to create a truly memorable Halloween costume!
Our Pathfinders this month, under the mentorship of Qwis Greenwood, have been exploring ideas for Opening Your First Store, with advice from GM Nikolaidis, former owner of the popular clothing store Spork, and now the owner/designer of HomeKraft, the stylish furniture and home store.
This month’s Linden Homes article features the fabulously chic Charlotte Bartlett of Scarlet Creations, who Ethan Westland interviews as she makes over a modern Meadowbrook home in inimitable style.
We’ve also paid a visit to Burn2.0, the art installation based on the famous Burning Man festival. This is the first year that it has operated as an independent identity, and experienced Burner Raven Haalan is joined by self-proclaimed desert virgin Beq Janus for a joint exploration of what is on offer there.
Jennaa Loire celebrates the opening of the fantastic SLHome and Garden sim – and all the opportunities that it offers.
Iggy O, our gridnaut, has been exploring the world of Reaction Grid; while in Charity News, Ethan Westland reports the recent successes of the Frank Lloyd Wright Virtual Museum, including gaining nonprofit status.
Then we have Spruce Up Your Space, the new and rapidly growing initiative to bring the work of top designers within the reach of everyone by adopting fun monthly themes for items to be sold at bargain prices, as they tell us about their plans for October.
Then there’s all the latest from the Designing Worlds and Metaverse Arts shows on treet.tv, while our team of talented photographers, led by PJ Trenton, Raven Haalan, Twisted Lemon, GM Nikolaidis and Alaex Aeon bring you some of the most romantic and artistic eye candy from across the metaverse!
All this with News from the Grid and more!

So how can I get Prim Perfect?
If you prefer to read the magazine online but not inworld, there are choices. Firstly, there’s the wonderful Calaméo system, which allows you to moves smoothly through the pages, giving you the feeling of reading a real magazine. You’ll find Issue 29 here – and please do leave a comment!
But, if you like to download your magazines to read as you commute to work, or in the bath, or wherever, you can also obtain a standard pdf for downloading and printing.
It is available through SL Marketplace (just search on the site for Prim Perfect). This will deliver you a copy in the form of an Intellibook that you can rez and read inworld.
We also have subscribe-o-matic kiosks throughout Second Life (these are taking over from our older vendors) – so you can just click to subscribe. You’ll be sent a copy of the latest issue, and then you’ll receive your issues regularly!
Another inworld option is to buy from our inworld vendors (located at various stores). Sometimes we have had problems with these, but you can help! If you see a vendor still selling an earlier issue, contact primperfect@gmail.com, and we’ll send someone to update it.
Or you can have it delivered to you each month as an IntelliBook, by joining the Prim Perfect Readers group inworld. It costs nothing to join and, apart from delivering the magazine each month, we won’t overload you with chat or messages!
In addition to delivering the Intellibook version of the magazine, you’ll also get a link to the online Calaméo version of the magazine, so you’ll be able to access that too.
