[Juliana and Ariella Moonstone contacted me when I was on vacation and wanted to pose. As you will soon see, it was an easy sell because they are two wonderfully creative people. It is an honor and pleasure to introduce the beautiful and talented sisters as this weeks Post 6 Grrrls ~Timothy Morpork]

What seems like years ago, a Bwangi’Kr’il trader came to our planet. It was the first such vessel anyone on the planet had ever seen, and while there had been stories of visits from people from beyond the stars, they were thought to be legend and superstition. Our planet is a remote and primitive place in a remote galaxy with nothing worth having except pride and honor.

My sister and I were prepared for the visitors. While our elders debated the existential, we took our swords and our axes and our smarts and talked our way aboard the ship. We have been traveling from planet to planet, from space station to space station, learning new things and representing our people to the best of our ability.

Early in our journey, in the belly of a cramped transport to the Citadel Space Station outside Telos IV, my sister and I heard another traveler speaking of The Force. Our ears always alert to learn, we have heard much of this Force in the weeks since, and now we seek one of its priests to further us in our understanding. We now seek to become members of the Jedi.

How’s that for fun?
I’ve been in SL for years and never tried a roleplay. A few weeks ago, my best virtual friend and shopping enabler suggested we go full nerd and give one a try, so we made new avies and here we are. Neither of us know enough about Star Wars to do anything more than just make shit up as we go, so that’s what we do. It is the most fun I’ve had in Second Life in years.

Will we become Jedi? (Jedies?) Will the dark side get us? Will we get stung by a radioactive spider and get superpowers? Will someone please start making some really good fantasy clothes? For these answers and more, check in with us, we’re making this up as we go and having the time of our lives. Jedi Masters, please call!

Thank you Herald, for having us, and thank you Timothy for the chance to be here and the fantastic pictures!

[Fannie Carter originally posed for Post 6 in September of 2007, and I leapt at the chance to feature her again when she introduced herself the other day. Based on a very limited sample, I have to agree with original photographer Justine Babii’s assessment that Fannie is “scary smart” as she kept me on my verbal toes throughout her photoshoot with scintillating conversation. It is an honor and a privilege to introduce a fascinating woman, Fannie Carter. ~Timothy Morpork]

Hello Everyone,

It has been three years since I last appeared here, and I really can’t believe it. Time sure flies when you’re logged in! Truly, I find that Second Life is an interesting beast when it comes to time- an hour’s conversation on SL seems like something that would last far longer in 1st Life- kind of the virtual equivalent of dreaming, where a dream that seems to go on for years is really over in a matter of seconds, realtime. They should make a movie that deals with this phenomenon, maybe add some explosions, crumbling dreamscapes and Leo diCaprio. Could be a hit? ?

Stream of consciousness babble about summer movies and this lady’s perception of time in virtualspace aside, it is a great pleasure to pose here again. I was a Herald junky from the time Justine Babii introduced me to it. I love Timothy’s work as much as I love all the rude comments he draws, so to be part of the fun is a thrill.

I don’t do anything phenomenal in Second Life. I have been a blogger, I have done a few builds, I have designed clothing lines, but at present I just hang out. I think the Lindens have discovered that this is what people like about Second Life- hanging out, which bespeaks the switch back to Philip’s leadership? Please feel free to discuss.

That’s not to say it’s not up to being used for greater things. Second Life- our imaginations drive the car, so if your car wants to get the word out about raising money for cancer research or to grow a positive idea, I’m all for it- I’m just saying that now, at my age and place in life, I think it’s nice to have a “game” where I don’t have to be stressed that I’ll be eaten by an ogre or feel that I have to save the world with some noble cause. It’s nice to hang out.

As I think I mentioned, this isn’t my first Post 6 rodeo, so I’ve felt ok with leaving out the details as I think I hit the high spots back the first time. If there’s more you want to know, give a holler. Thanks to all of you for being so entertaining with your comments, and I hope you like these pictures as much as I do. Thanks Timothy for having me back!
