Pictures From The PBC Women's Conference

 

 By Bixyl Shuftan

 

 

 On Saturday March 8, the Firth Annual International Women's Day Conference took place in Second Life. The day is to support the equality of women around the world, as well as celebrate the accomplishments of women.

 

 The event was hosted by JardenAlexis at the Premier Business Center. Dozens of people attended.

 

 This included a few Newser reporters and the wife of one. I'd just missed the prayer by Monrocie.

 

 There were a few speakers, one was Rhyme Gardner, who would talk about the history of Women's Day. Linda Satureau would be the keynote speaker.

 

 

Jarden would also say a few words. 

 

The discussions were in voice, so there is no text record. They were about the importance of women's rights, not just the right to vote but being treated fairly in the workforce, and the accomplishments individual women have done over time. 

There were also some gifts available for anyone who wanted them.

Following the speakers, there was a live performance by the Changhigh Sisters. 

Jarden herself would get into the act. 

 

Following the performance on stage was a dance party, with JaaJaaHaris Phily playing the music as the DJ. 

Happy Womens Day

On Friday February 21, a great 10 day event opened at the Bellisseria Fairgrounds for a wonderful cause. Belliforlife, our Bellisseria Relay Group is sponsoring 10 days packed full with events to raise money for the 2025 American Cancer Society. The money raised goes for research, help for Cancer patients, caretakers and survivors. It is used not only in the United States but in other countries too.

Cica Ghost created this cute build for the events. It is so charming. Be sure to visit. One of the first events held was Hollywood Squares game. Madori, Wendi, and Derrick Linden occupied a square as did our faithful Moles, Abnor, Alotta, Spiffy, Star, and Briggantia. It was a hot game to be sure with heckles and fun from the attendees and the game was battled out. Becca Ordinar , our Captain in the Group was a wonderful MC and it gave lots of enjoyment to us all and tried hard to control the whole group. A sample of the chat lol

Winter Burn Aurora

 

By Gemma Cleanslate

 

Winter Burn Aurora opened at 5 Friday and will be open until after the Effigy burn and dancing on Sunday at 12:00 . Be sure to visit to see the spectacular builds , and attend the fun parties on the ice at the glowing stage by Ben Tenk. Saturday the stage event begins at 10 am slt.

Outside the gate before you enter check the gifting table. Also near by you can learn more about Burning Man and Burn2 , a regional in Second Life. Then enter the majestic entrance and see the Burn Effigy in the distance. Inside Cuga Ragal has some fun sleds to rezz and slide on around the regions, or stop and grab an art car to travel.

There is a massive skating pond where you will also find the lovely crystal stage for parties. The pond winds over the playa which is usually dust. All the builds fit the winter scene but with twists, There is a lovely half globe containing a winter lounge with comfortable seating around a fire where visitors can warm up and have a hot drink and converse. Under another half globe I found a steaming hot tub so it is not all cold thought I suggest one dress for the frigid weather outside. I saw a few avatars that looked like they were on a sunny beach and shivered. Get there early to enjoy the skating and more.
