Raul Crimson’s experiences in Second Life®
Holiday Jam
Dec 24th
Some weeks ago Chou Skinstad and Kali Marville asked me to collaborate with them in a project they had for a Xmas special issue of Uncover, of course i didn’t knew what was about exactly, but knowing them i said: “ZOMG yesh!”, i knew the result would be great… and it is!
Chou and Kali joined together a crazy group of residents to help them making this (in magazine from page 34 to page 105) and some really funny letter to Santa too. As always the magazine edition is really good and i’m sure this is the best gift we can receive: fun moments, smiles, etc…
Thanks to Chou and Kali for letting me be in it, to the Uncover team for making every month a so good magazine, to the rest of the people in the project for making it so fun… and to you all… Merry Christmas!!!
Patron by Eliza Wierwight
Dec 20th
Patron (SLurl) in the personal project of Eliza Wierwight, a beautiful place to visit, a mix of an art gallery, a furniture store and something else.
Not only the place is beautiful, moreover it has personality, surely the personality of Eliza. Personally i really like Eliza, she is a really interesting woman, creative, and with a wicked sense of humour (yes, and beautiful).
Some time ago Eliza asked me to participate in a show in Patron, with no special theme, just the pictures i like the best of my own. Since i don’t use to sell my images, except for good reasons, we decided to give 100% of the sales to Amnesty International-E to help them in their projects.
She must be quite proud, since right now Patron is in the SL Showcase (as The Patron in the Arts section). And Patron deserves that for sure.
I wanted to ask Eliza about what’s Patron for her, she said:
Patron is my creative heart and home Inworld after finally settling into my own design style. It’s the environment I HAD to create , it’s the build I HAD to endure as my insatiable desire to express myself in my own time , on my own terms, evolved. Patron found it’s own momentum unraveled beautifully before me almost instinctively. To keep that momentum over 5 months was exhausting , I don’t regret a single minute though.
One thing I’ve learned about creation Inworld in the last year thanks to the experience of creating Patron and her surrounding enviroment and contents, is to stay true to yourself, your passions. Patron is Eliza, Eliza is Patron. So many stories, people , friends, lovers , revelations and histories of mine all united.
If I’ve learned anything of the experience and the joy I’ve had in sharing her and including the Art and creations of the smexy talented people whose creations & Art that I’m honored also to represent at Patron, is to never deviate from your own dreams. Patron continues to evolve, I never want to see her stuck in a time warp of ambivalence. I want her to reflect my personal best as I continue to learn and grow as a Creator. When I find time to sit back, when I see Patron and especially the contributing works of those I respect and adore gracing her, I just kind of resonate with charmingly smug happiness and guess what, it’s contagious ~winks~
The end !

Some like a fashion post #8: I ♥ Tom of Finland
Dec 13th
Yes, i confess… I ♥ Tom of Finland. I find it extremely erotic, and i know the drawings are from the 70’s, and i know it uses cliches and all… but although all that it keep being so erotic, and sometimes i think the drawings created the cliches, instead of the cliches created the drawings.
I’m not into BDSM, nor in SL nor in FL, but i like the aesthetics, the concept. Is some like a distorted vision of masculinity and sexuality. Sexuality is natural, but all this distortions make sexuality human. All mammals have sex, but only humans do that, that’s what makes all this so interesting for me.
Also, is not easy to find a fashion blogpost about this kind of clothes, so that’s something i wanted to do… and damn, i look really hot! 
List:
Hair: LH hair13 rabi black
Beard: distort – dB-Beards – Fidel (jet)
Glasses: [Armidi Gisaci] Lifestyle Aviators – Light Silver
Cigar: {Gentleman} Collector Gigar Leaf
Harness: STN-Full Harness Set
Gloves: Drawmachine Bikergloves
Chaps and thong: STRAPS – Wide Waist Zipped Chap Set
Boots: Kboots – black
JAZZLIVE in Second Life
Nov 9th
Some time ago my friend Arahan Claveau told me about a project he was working on, some like a cross-reality event, about Jazz. Finally he sent me some information about the project… and i think is really interesting! Let me paste some of the info:
The real and the virtual interact as digital artwork on a monumental scale provides a stunning virtual landscape while real-world jazz gigs, broadcast live from a small London club, are injected into the cyberspace. …
… JAZZLIVE at the Crypt presents a short season of jazz concerts celebrating the wealth of talent in the UK jazz scene. The concerts will be broadcast live from the Crypt into a virtual venue in the virtual world Second Life. …
… Those attending the concerts in the Second Life venue will also be exposed to great artwork commissioned especially for the events by some of the virtual world’s most respected artists DanCoyote Antonelli, Oberon Onmura and Juria Yoshikawa. Those attending The Crypt will also experience the art show, as it will be viewable on big screens in the venue. This two-way interaction is an essential element in the project. …
… Also to be screened are excerpts from a forthcoming film about JAZZLIVE by multimedia artist Steve Millar (also known as Arahan Claveau in SL). …
So if you like Jazz and Second Life don’t miss the next fridays at 08:00 PM in London, in The Crypt (RL side) or at noon SLT in Second Life, in the Jazzlive sim (SLurl). Or why not… in both sides at the same time!
Find more information about this project in the “JAZZLIVE in Second Life” webpage.
The Corn Field is opened… and other Halloween stories
Oct 28th
So here i am, Dr. Frank-N-Furter (my Halloween costume for this year ), exploring the dangerous sim… the darkest prison in Second Life, opened to the public for the first time… THE CORN FIELD *tchan tchan tchaaaaaaaaaan (thriller music here)*.
This Halloween Linden Lab decided to open to the public, for the first time, The Corn Field. And… what’s The Corn Field? Well, according to the SLwiki is:
The Corn Field is a region of mythological status where once naughty avatars were sent to think about what they had done. “The corn field” is a vast star-lit field of corn and was cut off from communication with the rest of the world (a reference to the classic Twilight Zone episode, “It’s a Good Life”).
It is located at the North-West tip of Orientation Island 1 and closed to the public. Perhaps one day the prison will be open for viewing?
So… ZOMG!!! It was the prison of Second Life!!! I should confess i always wanted to visit it… some like a “forbidden place”, and finally i’m there!!! 
Anyway, once the Halloween ends they should keep it opened and close in there all the copybotters in SL… so they will have nothing to copy.. but corn Oh, if you want to visit, here you are a SLurl.
The other place in the grid dedicated to Halloween specially this time is… The Channel Island Asylum!!!
This building, integrated in Bay City, is opened to public always. Is, under my point of view, one of the best works of the LDPW (Linden Department of Public Works). An abandoned asylum in an island, full of weird sounds and some surprises… but this time is even worse, totally ready for Halloween. This is the SLurl.
Happy Halloween!!!!!

It’s my 3rd Rezday!
Oct 26th
Today, Oct 26th, it’s my 3rd Rezday!!! So, when i logged in Second Life this morning and i saw there were none of my friends online (becuase they are working or sleeping) i decided to have a rezday cake only for me! This is the moment when i’m just about to jump over it and eat it all. But no worries! I’ll make another one for my friends!
Three years in here… wow!… Actually that seems a lot! But well, there were really good years, where i learned a lot about myself, about others, and where i learned… in general. 
Is good to have the wonderful friends i have in Second Life and to have the oportunity to share all this with them, the creativity, the experiences and everything (including the LOLs, of course). This is the best rezday gift!
