“THERE IS ONLY ONE LIFE IN YOUR SKIN.”

[CURRENTLY LISTENING: Lifehouse – “In Your Skin”]

[MOOD: Excited]

That’s right guys, the Around the World Event is gearing up and is almost ready to open, and let me tell you how excited I am. I am SUPER excited about this event because it seems like a really challenging one for the designers involved, so I’ve been anxiously awaiting the golden gates to swing open so I can could sneak in to take a peek at some of the stuff. If you don’t know what this event is, here’s a little insight for you:

Around the World will be a gathering of participating designers to come together and choose a region of the world. Not only will they create content that is based off of that region, they will bring it to life. Captivating culture and putting the very breath of diversity into the fingertips of a seller; shoppers will come to Around the World to experience the senses of these places. New or old, it will feel like they are being taken away, a haze of Africa clouding their sight; the bustle of Russia biting their fingertips; the heat of midsummer China sweltering along their collar. More than just an event, it is a milestone of celebrating equality in Second Life and culture in a virtual world.

Regions

North America

South America

Western Europe

Eastern Europe

Africa

The Middle East

Asia Major

Asia Minor

Australia/New Zealand

Sounds epic, doesn’t it? Needless to say, when I snuck past the gates this morning I was thrilled by what I saw and had to blog it asap! I’ll post with the slurl on the 15th, when the event opens, because I know if I do it ahead of time all you eager beavers will be going before you are supposed to. Naughty naughty.

Anyway, enjoy my first sneak preview look from the Around the World event!
