Please note: I found that several of the hunt boards giving out the group join, were actually the wrong group! If you touch the hunt board towards the back of the landing area it gives out the right invite ❤

I’ll be your mermaid
Caught on your rock
Coming for your aid
Isn’t it odd?
Isn’t it silly
Now that you know?
Someone this slippery
Can’t let you go

On Wednesday, June 28th, 10th, 2023, Linden Lab streamed a special session of Lab Gab as a part of the SL20b celebrations,  featuring Linden Lab board member and Executive Chairman Brad Oberwager (Oberwolf Linden), together with Linden Lab founder (and now Second Life Strategic Advisor) Philip Rosedale (Philip Linden). This is a summary of that session, with the video embedded at the end. Please note: The session was built around questions submitted in advance of the session, and as received from the audience attending / watching via You Tube. In order to try to offer some structure, this summary tries to offer questions and responses in terms of to whom they were directed (e.g. Brad Oberwager or Philip Rosedale or both). As such it does not follow the video recording (embedded at the end of the article) chronologically.

Premium Plus Ranch Theme – June 2023

On Monday June 26th, Linden Lab launched the first Linden Homes theme expressly for Premium Plus subscribers. As had been promised, the theme is “Ranch”, and comprises a total of seven styles. Also as promised, these houses are on 2048 sq metre parcels with a land capacity of 703 LI. For the initial release, a total of 28 regions have been established by LL, located in their own group alongside Bellisseria’s major Stilt Home regions.

The houses themselves are of various footprint, the smallest looking suitable for a 512 s m parcel, and the largest looking like they might feel a little squeezed were they to sit on a 1024 sq m of a Premium home. Here, however, they fit the plots well, although the little cabin-style units do – to my eyes – look very out-of-place.

Unlike the other summaries in this series, this article focuses on the work of the Moles and the projects they are currently working on and which have recently been launched or will be launched in the near future. Broader questions on individual interests, hopes for the future of SL, subjects (such as the SL20B Sweepstakes) covered in more depth in other Sl20B Lab Gab sessions are not included below…

If you look closely you will see the dreaded breakthough.

OK, now you’ve seen it ignore it lol. This is just because I’m wearing the Legacy Deformer Foot and usually other fits work just not in this case.

You do get the SLink, Legacy and Lara fits and because this is a S@bbia gift, free for you to try out and if you missed my last post they also have a lovely bikini as their other free Group Gift.

S@bbia.

Its time for a Cheeky Monkey Hunt! I’ve got two gorgy bikinis to share with you, both only 1L. Above is the Star Fish bikini from Ari-pari,

It comes with a Hud giving ten colours ! Hunt a little more in this store and you’ll also find the sliders to go with the bikini – also just 1L. Fits for bikini: Maitreya & petite, Legacy & perky, Kupra & Ebody reborn.

Starlight also have a 1L bikini ! Seriously can you ever ever ever have enough bikinis?!! This one is in a pretty pink with cute teeny yellow ducks all over – LOVE! Fits for: Maitreya, Tonic fine, Tonic curvy, Ebody curvy, Ebody classic, Belleza ISIS, Venus & Freya. Link to the Cheeky Monkey Hunt Blog below where you can see all the prizes and landmarks.

Happy Hunting ❤

LOVE it when I come across something which is just different and this is very different especially for me.

The costume is Maitreya only but pretty forgiving even on my Legacy bod. It comes with sandals for both high and flat feet, again Maitreya only and the flat ones fitted perfectly. I can’t say the same for the shin/thigh shields(?) which is why I’m not wearing them. The wings are a separate gift and I’m tempted to keep them and then topped off with a tiara.

All of these are at the LM for the Janka shop which is packed full of costumes for serious RPers or people who just don’t want to blend in.

You will find these on one of the walls at the LM…easy to find.

Jangka.

The hat is NOT a freebie.

I was only planning on unpacking and packing today today until I came across an old gift from Poets Heart and I just had to check and yes this shop is still here and yes so is that old gift.

I did spot newer gifts and I just had to show you one of them.

This riding outfit(?) comes in just the Maitreya fit but is a forgiving design for a lot of shapes. It also comes in bits, ie the bow, under blouse and if you really don’t like the jacket with the thick shoulders remove that and you do have a good pinstriped skirt to add to a jacket you may have…mix ‘n’ match.

There is also what I initially thought was a suit of armour, its not. However if you’re into RP and want a more “armour” style of outfit then…

So, around 30 minutes after I publish my unofficial guide to SL20B, an e-mail arrives announcing the SL20B Sweepstakes  – something which I admit I’d missed when visiting the event’s Welcome Area.

Why is this newsworthy? Because the prizes  – particularly for those in the United States – are pretty impressive, including as they do:

• A physical world Chevrolet Bolt EV car (US residents only).
• A physical world Asus high-end gaming laptop (US Residents only).
• A Second Life Lifetime Premium membership.
• A 1 Year Premium Plus membership.
• DAILY 1 Year Premium membership.

No purchases are necessary to enter the sweepstakes, just a visit to the SL20B Welcome Area during the festivities, and click on one (or both, in the case of US residents) Sweepstakes kiosks.

The National (US residents only) and Global (US residents + rest of the world) Sweepstakes kiosks at the SL20B Welcome…
