become well known. Both Carmen and myself do a lot of profile
perv’ing just to see who is in what
groups, or to see if something we
bump into has a store. We like to
think everyone once started off
small and give those stores a little
helping hand.
If they gain a few new customers from these events we feel
we have made a difference. All
of our sponsors promote the
event which causes a lot of cross
promotion. End of the day everyone from these events walks
away a winner. The sponsors, the
patrons, the DJ’s and us. Making
new connections and friendships
on SL is the way to achieve bigger
and greater events each year as
many sponsors re-contact us in
the months leading up to these
events to find out if we are running them again.

duce. As mesh is the new IN, we
try and base all our designers to
at least build with mesh. Old style
textured items no longer have a
place really on SL.
NVM: Carmen, with knowing all
the work that comes with a bigger event than the previous year,
why not play it safe and just repeat what you guys did last year?

CN: We have had so much success with our previous events and have felt so much love and support
from our sponsors we wanted to do more. Each
year our sponsorship list has grown and this year
we even had a few designers contact us directly
about joining. A lot of our sponsors have stood
behind us throughout the years and I appreciate
each and everyone of them for being there for us.
I just felt that we needed to give more to them
this year. This event is about cross promotions it is
not just bigger named sponsors it is for sponsors
who are just starting out on their journey. I know
that there are so many talented creators in Second Life and this is a place where their voices can
be heard. We just add in the entertainment value
to the event with live Djs, the fashion fair style and
our own spin to make sure that our sponsors are
getting the best promotions for their donations
of time and prizes.
NVM: During a promotional event for the X-Mas
Bash, we heard the DJ say that you guys have over
400k in sponsored gift cards to give away during
the course of the event, is that number for real?
RN: Actually, there is over 500K worth of gifts and
prizes that will be given away over the course of
the week long event. The number is 100% for real!
