Mermaid Lake re-opening!

- OPENING – APRIL 10th 2009 01.00 PM PDT-

- INAUGURAZIONE 10 APRILE ‘09 h 22.00 -

Tala to all mermaids! I never forgot Second Life, as well as mermaids virtual way of life :-)

Tala a tutte le sirene! Non ho mai dimenticato Second Life, così come lo “stile di vita” sirenesco!

Mermaid Lake was always on my mind, together with all things this place remind me. That’s why, after leaving Al-bahr sim, I took my time and finally decided to buy a mainland lot and create a new mermaid place. I choose Darkover sim, a waterfront parcel with great views, especially at sunset!

Mermaid Lke è sempre rimasta nella mia mente, insieme a tutti i ricordi di questo posto. Per questa ragione, dopo avere lasciato a malincuore la sim di Al –Bahr, mi sono presa un po’ di tempo per decidere alla fine di tornare e prendere un lotto di mainland per creare un nuovo posto per sirene. Ho scelto Darkover, in una zona di fronte a una sim d’acqua protetta, con un bellissimo panorama, soprattutto al tramonto!

Mermaid Lake - Beach

The commercial area is practically a small spot on the beach. There, you can find cheap mermaid tails and tops, and a lot of freebies by Manuela Collas.

La zona commerciale si è ridotta praticamente a un piccolo angolo sulla spiaggia, dove potrete trovare code e top da sirena a buon prezzo, realizzati da Manuela Collas.

SLURL: Manuela Collas SHOP

The rest of the land is fully dedicated to underwater life and mermaids fun of course! You’ll love it!

You can ride a canoe ready to use exploring the other sims.

Il resto della land è completamente dedicata alla vita sommersa e al mondo delle sirene!

Si possono usare le canoe per esplorare le sim intorno.

An underwater mermaid photo stand is available for self-shooting (Ask Manuela Collas for professional photo book services if you’re interested in)

Un set fotografico sommerso è a disposizione per autoscatti (chi è interessato a un photo book professionale può rivolgersi a Manuela Collas)

There’s also a big cave which will host art exhibitions, painters and photographers who want to show their art are invited!

Inoltre una grande grotta ospiterà mostre d’arte: pittori e fotografi che hanno voglia di esporre le proprie opere sono i benvenuti!

The first Mermaid Fashion Show by 3star!

sfilatasirene01On the 24th of May, at Nuova Sicilia 4, Manuela Collas presented the first Mermaid Fashion Show! The fashionist of the 3star Tyne, one of the greatest SL fashion experts and my beloved friend!

sfilatasirene02 I was so proud to introduce her Mermaid Goddess Fashion Show, a very peculiar mermaid outfit collection inspired to the rl ancient goddesses all around the world.
She created her own avatar 3 years ago and is specialized in fantasy outfits such as fairies and vampyres, mermaid tails and asian skins.
Her shops can be find easily in her profile picks.
Our wonderful models!
sfilatasirene03 1. First of all, Inanna: Ellowyn Akina
Inanna is the most important goddess of the Sumerian pantheon in ancient Mesopotamia. She is a goddess of love, fertility, and war. Inanna figures prominently in various myths, such as 'Inanna's descent to the underworld'. In this particular myth she travels to the realm of the dead and claims its ruling.
2. And Now Oshun: Akasha Wachmann
Oshun, the Yoruban Goddess of love, delights in the creation of beauty and art, sensual delights and self-adornment. Her symbols are mirrors, jewelry, honey, golden silks and feather fans. Creativity in decorating home and temple is a way of honoring Oshun, who will bless any beautiful space created in Her honor. There is no object so common that Oshun will not appreciate more if it is made artistic and pleasing to the eye.
3. And Now Isis: Greylyn Ember
Isis Mother of Egypt! Isis, as mother of Horus, was by extension regarded as the mother and protectress of the pharaoh's. She was worshipped as the divine mother-goddess, faithful consort of Osiris, and dedicated mother of Horus.
4. And Now Hecate: Toya Watanabee
Hecate is the Greek goddess of the crossroads. She is most often depicted as having three heads; one of a dog, one of a snake and one of a horse. She is usually seen with two ghost hounds that were said to serve her. Hecate is most often mispercepted as the goddess of witchcraft or evil, but she did some very good things in her time.
5. And Now Eris: Lilianna Whitfield
Eris Goddess of Chaos! Eris is the Greek goddess of discord and strife. Eris is sinister and mean, and her greatest joy is to make trouble. She has a golden apple that is so bright and shiny everybody wants to have it. When she throws it among friends, their friendship come to a rapid end. When she throws it among enemies, war breaks out, for the golden apple of Eris is the Apple of Discord.
6. And Now Aphrodite: Katty Fizzle
Aphrodite, in Greek mythology, the goddess of love and beauty and the counterpart of the Roman goddess Venus. In Homeric legend she is said to be the daughter of Zeus and Dione, one of Zeus's consorts, but in the Theogony of Hesiod she is described as having sprung from the foam of the sea.
7. And Now Kway Yin: MeiXing Yu
Kwan Yin, Mother of Compassion in ancient Chinese culture, floats gently onto the stage, and should be welcomed as an eternal source of comfort and peace. Kwan Yin's values are about co-operation, sharing, balance, harmony and partnership; she is highly sensitive and aware.
8. And finally Gaia: Phoenix Bright
Gaia is believed by some sources to be the original deity behind the Oracle at Delphi. She passed her powers on to, depending on the source, Poseidon, Apollo or Themis. Gaia represents the earth, fertility and eternal love.sfilatasirene04

Good Mermaid Places to visit: Myradyl's Mermaid Sanctuary

Today I want to tell you about a very special place for mermaids: Myradyl's Mermaid Sanctuary. The images you see were made there. Here's the slurl
http://slurl.com/secondlife/Federal/29/43/31/?img=http%3A//bp2.blogger.com/_BhvkkBrpQvs/RyHtaNIjN3I/AAAAAAAAAEM/YRKmoS257M4/s400/myradyl1.jpg&title=Myradyl%27s%20Mermaid%20Sanctuary

It was the first mermaid place I met during my first days in Second Life. And I still love it! The land owner's name is Myradyl Muse, and she created the merpalace and underwater sanctuary. She's really great!
Inside the palace you'll find touchable paintings that will give you some notecards with her poems, very romantic and artistic.
Here's one:

The Mermaid's Dream... by Myradyl Muse: copyrighted
At center of the boundless sea
Strides marbled rock from out the Deep;
Crystal throne for she who glides
The ebbing froth, eternally.
Untouched by squall, by tempest's blast,
No hook, no spear, no net she plies
To lure them each across the vast,
That maiden of the turquoise eyes.A simple siren's song ensnares
Both corsair, dark, of treachery,
And fisherfolk of windswept hair
To mystic tidal sanctuary.
And on that perch amid endless sea,
As Midday's sun glitters aqua scales,
Mermaid dreams her secret dream,
Drawn from Book of Days and Ancient Tales.Perhaps of sailor she once well knew;
Mayhaps of seafarer, unknown yet, but true;
Yearning, searching, beyond veil of dreams
As mermaid tears tint swells deep turquoise hue.
Entranced, her dreamsong repeats, again, again...
Infinite, rhythmic as waves upon shore;
Bewitching, compelling, with its constant tug -
Mermaid ever captured by her dream of love.



Myradyl is a powerful builder indeed, she's been in SL for four years and I hope to reach her skillness level sooner or later!
Visiting her land is like a treasure hunt: there's a lot to discover, from the highest sky to the deepest sea, and all her buildings are fabulous with a special touch of style.

The water area is impressive, there, it's like to live in the myth, and it makes you feel proud of being a mermaid!
And finally, this is the underwater merpalace, a real masterpiece of mermaid art!
I've asked Myradyl an interview to talk a little about her, her "mermishness" and this wonderful place.
I hope she'll answer soon, and I'll publish my interview with her on this blog.
