Frog Museum And Burn 2's Whimsy

 
By Gemma Cleanslate
 

Out on the road Circuit La Corse there is a new museum. I have been to so many museums in sl. There are art museums, sculpture museums, Bear museums, Butterflies and more but now there is a Frog Museum. It formally opened on July 17th. Frogtacular Museum is the name and they have Ribbit Readings.That is also the name of the group if you would like to join and get notified of that readings and other activities.


I walked in greeted by the notice in chat “Welcome to the Magical Bog home to Ribbit Readings & The Frogtacular Museum! Feel free to Hop around and explore. Our Story Schedule is located in the main building. Please keep it PG-13.“


ЯedѠƦαէɧ Қαяu (RedWrath Resident) must love frogs and has created this quite little froggy paradise . There are also loads of mushrooms around for them to hide under . It is a good place to stop and have a picnic if you are traveling the road. She also says, “Do you like frogs? Yeah? So do I! Visit one of the largest frog collections in SL! Is there a froggy item I am missing? Care to donate or share, contact me. “ Drop by and rest a while.
 

Burn2 is celebrating the summer burn ,Conception. It is called Whimsy and will be whimsical in builds. I stopped over to take  a look and check that all is in place. Artists are still putting up their installations . Deep Hole is ready and the saloon is open.


I ran into Maia Antarra (Psiberangel Resident) at the gift table . She admired my horse so I showed her where she could rezz a horse for riding on the playa. She was worried it would not fit but it did! 
 

Anyone visiting can rezz  their own horse and choose which one to ride .


There is a sign in front of the Ranger station advertising the fact that we are looking for more Rangers to join us in being helpers to all who visit the playa . Read about Rangers and contact Leondra Larson if you are interested. It is a great experience and the training is the same that the Black Rock Rangers go through  for Burning Man, adjusted to second life of course.

Rather join the Art car riders? There is a rezz area right inside the gate where one can rezz an art car of their choice and buzz around the playa. The opening will be at 5pm Friday and there will be a Lamplighters walk and parties at the main stage . See you there !

WonderlandZ

 
By Gemma Cleanslate
 

Sorry , I have been AOL(away on leave), sort of. I moved in real-life and had no internet most of the time. And the internet I could connect to was spotty. I even missed my duties as Greeter at the SL21B most of the time. Now I am back and ready to explore!


My friend RainDaze along with her partner Sanka (JaylenGA Resident) have created a magnificent region filled with memories from childhood with all the creatures of fables and fairytales we have stored away in our minds.


It is called WonderlandZ and is on the Shine of Love. That is an appropriate name for the wonder you will experience.


When I landed I was met by Tweedledee and Tweedledum standing by a tall house and Mockturtle peering out the window. In the distance I saw Alice talking with a Caterpillar. The Cheshire cat watched from above. To my surprise right next door I spotted a tree house that turned out to be Barbie’s home! I wondered where she lived. And near the beach was the Heart’s Queen and of course the white rabbit.


The entrance area offers a notecard of information and a teleport door to get you to so many interesting places if you choose. I enjoyed walking the paths and seeing the foliage along the way and the mushrooms that bow and smile.. There is a tall gate that says “Follow the White Rabbit” guarded by two Card Soldiers and so I did.


It was fun to come upon places I recognized as favorite memories, Cinderella’s home was the first stop. Her coach was there along with one slipper lying on the floor. Following that stop I walked on to the Fun House and entered a whole area of fun and games. Have fun in there ! Try that bouncy house.


Nearby is an Art Gallery that I would say is a work in progress since Raini will be adding photos taken by visitors and more. I believe it is called the Lunatic Asylum .There are three floors of art pieces room for more. and also... Wellness? You decide.


I passed a funeral pyre with a closed casket and after peeking inside I think the Prince did not get here in time. The three little pigs also have a really damaged home. There is so much more to see. I want you all to go find all the little nooks with surprises and other buildings and explore. See some pictures below and have a wonderful time!

A Few SL21B Exhibits

 
 By Bixyl Shuftan


The Second Life Birthday, the SL21B is underway. The "Meet the Lindens" events are over, but there's still the music at the theaters. And there are course the numerous exhibts. Yours truly has been busy, but did manage to get the time to see a few of the many there. 


Antiquity Estate at SLB Glamorous (187/135/22)




At SLB Glamorous (187/86/22), this exhibit looked interactive. Maybe later I can see what's inside.


I came across this hospital.
 
 

 It was a Brazilian children's clinic.
 

 

I took a look inside this colorful building at SLB Fabulous (62/193/22).


From inside, it looked trippy

The colors kept changing.



SLB Marvelous (96/161/22)




That's all the exhibits we have time for right now. Hopefully we'll have more soon.
