Whats your favourite location in SL?


If you have been in SL for a long time, you will have a favourite place. This could be a location where you like to hangout, your home, work, or even just a beauty spot. I have a number of favourite locations, my house is one of them, and my own land of course. But outside that, i like areas such as Armidi, Cetus and Mill Pond. But, what is it that actually makes a place in SL, your favourite. Is it socializing with the people there?, the experience?, the things there? For me, its places with alot of socialisation and media. Like Cetus, its a great art district in SL, and has alot of people here to socialize with. Thats why i put the HeadQaurters of Pineapple magazine there. What im trying to do, is to gather peoples thoughts on where there favourite places are, and what makes them their favourites.

Please e-mail your places, and the reasons why you like them to pineapplemag@gmail.com. It is your choice whether to include your avatar name, as some will be published when received.

Is there more for women than Men?


After being in Second life for almost 2 years now, i have constantly been hitting the stores for clothes, hair, accessories etc.. and have always found one thing, there always seems to be more items aimed at women than men. This has always intruiged me. Im however not the only one that has noticed this, but can it really be called sexism. Are women just better designers than men?, or are there more women that shop than men? We dont know, but im going to try and get to the bottom of this problem, and see what the real reasons are for more things targeting the female market than the male. Over the next few weeks, ill be heading to a number of malls and stores around Second Life, to find the answer to this problem.

If you have the same thoughts, please comment or send an e-mail (pineapplemag@gmail.com), and we will post your thoughts.

This weeks Real Life story, With a Twist.

'Drunken Winnie Bego Driver'

Two cops are set on a regular mid afternoon patrol on the 101 in North Hollywood. Of course, like a lot of American cops, they are eating the doughnuts and drinking their coffee, picked up from the last diner they passed. The Driver, Pablo, originally from Mexico, so really not a guy to mess with. And then there’s the other, CJ, born and raised in Van Nuys, California. There both pretty big guys, as are a lot of the US cops. During there patrol, they are having a general chit chat about the game the night before. Untill Pablo’s eyes get drawn to this Winnie Bego, which anybody would really, as it is swerving in and out of the fourth lane. Now… anybody could tell, this was a drunk driver. But hey, this is LA, anything happens in LA. Pablo takes his doughnut out of his mouth, and places it back into the box, whilst CJ, is gripping his coffee firmly, taking a good look at the licence plate of the vehicle. As Pablo gets nearer, the drunken guy doesn’t seem to notice, so he puts the siren on for a few seconds. After 5 attempts at this, the drunk ass finally recognises that car behind him is, LAPD. As the driver decreases his speed, he suddenly opens his door. At this point, his vehicle is practically rolling along the 101. However, the driver doesn’t seem to realise this, and begins to step out of the driver’s side, obviously. Pablo and CJ are following behind, also travelling around the same speed, 2mph. Pablo immediately says in a quiet voice, with and Mexican accent, ‘What the hell is this guy doing’. As Pablo, and other passer by driver watch in amazement, this guy steps out of his vehicle, and puts his right foot on the floor, only to be dragged along, as it is still in motion. Whilst he brand new Nike shoes are being scraped along the floor, he still has a firm grip on the door handle. Pablo stops the cop car, and runs out to stop the vehicle. After they got this guy out of the road, they found out, this is not the first time he’s been hanging around winnie begos.

Dannylee Ashbournes quotes

Some of Dannylee Ashbournes most important, self-created quotes -

'Tommorrow is the new today' - The meaning of this, is that i find more and more people are becoming lazy. Which is not good for the world, and for themselves. So, i sumed it up in 5 words. As very popular parent to son line is, 'Can you tidy your room today please' 'I'll do it tomorrow, promise'. I dont see the point in that, as better things could be around the corner. I have found out by personal experience that getting things done on the day you think about doing them, really helps you get on with whatever else needs to be done.

'You only spot and act when you know its one' - By looking a tthis one, you probably would'nt know what it was about. But if you think carefully, you will understand. I thought of this by watching a movie, and if you watch it carefully, you can really tell its not as good as they make it. Because you always will have in your head its an act, and not real.

'An Answer is like a planet, it takes a while to find' - This is a very simple one to understand i guess. I am always looking for answers in my Second life and Real life. But... you should never give up, as from personal experience, you always find the answer your looking for eventually. Just take alot more time to discover than you want it to.
