OK, the hour is drawing near for the first tour sponsored by Ivillage.com, and I’m nervous and terribly excited at the same time.

The theme for the kickoff tour is going to be “A brief history of SL” - the first stop will be visiting the Beanstalk, one of the oldest builds still standing in SL, and speaking with its creator, Steller Sunshine! Stellar was one of the very first residents of SL - her born date is 3/13/2002, that’s right, she’s older than most Lindens you’ll see! She’ll be meeting with us to talk about the good old days of SL - I’m so excited to ask her some questions myself :)

After we visit with Steller, we’ll be headed over to Pixeldolls to speak with Nephilaine Protagonist, another long term resident and one of SL’s most outstanding examples of a successful SL businesswoman. Bring your questions and your extra spending cash for this part!

Finally we’ll head back to the Ivillage loft, where we’ll enjoy live music performed by Cylindrian Rutabaga, chat about the tour, and check out the free goodies donated by the wonderful folks at Second Style magazine and a host of talented and generous designers waiting under the christmas tree! Woo its a full night :)

Again, this starts at 6PM SLT, just head over to Sheep Island (SLurl) or look up “Ivillage” in Search. Grab a tour HUD from the pink champagne glasses and tag along - I’ll see you there!
