Update

Have notbeen very active lately. Neighter on this Blog nor in Second Life. Sorry to my friends for beeing online so seldom. I had to take a break - somehow SL was getting on my nerves.

But I will be online more often, so look out for me and say hi :)

Advertising in SL

I was a bit wandering around in SL to see, what kind of advertisement for in-world events is used. In a German speaking region I run across some signs.

One particular interesting sign was an advertisement for first life jobs at Festo one of the top industry and process automation companies (from Germany). They really know where to find their future staff...

They have also a blog for job trainees, which also blog about that second life action.

My First Linden

Happy St. Patricks Day everybody.

I have been with a friend listening to a Space Rock live performance in Serenity Woods. After that there has been a Paddy Day event (find the treasure of the Leprechaun). And guess what happened:



SAW MY FIRST LINDEN!!!

Sorting Inventory

In SL it is hard to keep track of your inventory. Sure you can drag everything around with you, without worrying about size and weight, but it is just so easy to lose track.

A major annoyance from time to time is the change clothes, especially if you are a stripper :) So I want to share with you three tips:

a) you can type "worn" in the inventory to filter the Inventory for wearables and attachments you have currently on.

b) you can click on folders to add or replace your current outfit. It is usually best to add a folder with a new dress and afterwards go to the old folder and take off all items from that. That way you can change quickly and never stand there nude.

c) have folders for each outfit, use the copy function to make a good collection. Move unneeded and seldomly used stuff you want to keep around to archive folders. Move all new folders you get after shopping or collecting freebies into sub-folders so the overall folder structure in the inventory is not too flat and fat.

Hope that helps.

Conferences

A little known Feature in Second Life are conferences. So you can talk to more then one person by IM at the same time. You don't need to set up a group chat for this, or use the spatial chat. This is especially good if a group of girls go shopping.

You simply select multiple friends (it only works for friends and only in the friends list, not the IM list). You can select multiple by pressing the Ctrl-key, like you are used from other windows programs.

Once you have selected more than one person, you can teleport or IM them.

State of the Nation

So how are things going you ask? Well I still have a lot of fun doing stripping, teasing boys and hanging around. My Workplace St. Pauli has moved to a much bigger venue. It still has that retro flair and a cool spinning stage with a Motorcycle. However the room is bigger, so it does not remind so much of an shady red-light bar.

Things have been a bit slow money wise, since I have been less often working and most often at the wrong times.

Update: my (former) Boss kicked me out of his establishment, because he thinks I was working as an escort for another club. Well I actually will - its more kink friendly and the lady-boss has a crunch on me - however that place is not yet open. Well he could have at least talked to me, pretty bad style. But I can understand that he needs to enforce his house rules with all the other freelancing girls around.

Griefers

Some People like to cause Grief - and are the reason it is hard to do Business on Second Life. Well, some Griefers seem to have at least a message.

New Poles

Hey Guys, I am so excited. Our Boss moved some walls and we have now two BIG rooms for private pole and lap dance. This will be so much fun to tease you, so step by, say Hi, and buy yourself some time which a girl who really needs to tease you.

Woman at work

Today is my third day at work, after we have opened our gates. I am curious what the day will bring. So far I head a great first day (Opening day) with two private strips and good tips, and a second day which was somewhat less good, but I was only there for two hours.

I noticed that the number of people present in the club vary between none and full quite often each day, so persistence is the best method to get some money.

My new Job

Have been mentioning my Job for quite some time. So let me tell you now, what it is and how I got it: I work as a Stripper and Dancer in a Gentleman Club. It is called St. Pauli, and you can find it in the Sim Moewenklippe (Mature). The Club is under German/American Management. Besides the Strip Club (with private Dance and Escorts) we also have a few Poker Tables.

The Grand Opening is Today (Friday 2/9/2007 12pm PST) so step by and say hi.

If you wonder how I got it, a employee of that Club saw me, and asked me if I want to join. I had an Job Interview with my Boss. He asked me some questions (how old, how much SL Experience, Dancer or Escort) made me Strip before him so he could check my appearance. He checked if my English (and German) is Ok.

I had to get a new Skin (used a Freebie one at that time, it had all the Features you need as a Stripper but not much Makeup). But he liked they Way I can communicate with People. I only wish he would stop complaining about my small nipples.

Well, hanging around there for a few days, I have seen quite a lot Job interviews, and I can give you a list of things not to do:

• walk into the place passing the boss without greeting (take some time to read Tags and Profiles)
• walk into the place and complain how empty it is (especially if you have to pass a big sign reading "opening party later this week")
• run around in Newbie Skin or Hair and apply in Sex Business
• having no Excite Equipment and apply as a Escort
• beg for a Job ("I need money and will do anything"). It is especially bad if you show up everywhere without informing what they do and need. You wont do that in 1st life, eighter.
• Have an up-to-date profile (picture, info, language, interests and possibly picks)

Besides that, it is a matter of luck and sympathie.

As a Dancer or Escort, you usually get a big share of your tips as Payment (50-100%). In our case the dancers get a fixed percentage and the escort depending on the turn around they have. Dancers need to work at least 4-5h a week.
