Where Have You Been? S02E15: Hello Kitty Tribute
In this episode of our original series, “Where Have You Been?” we visit the 4- region “Hello Kitty” tribute theme park on the Astralia regions. Hello Kitty is the little adorable white cat character who is numbered among the highest grossing media franchises of all time.
Astralia Creations is a clothing and décor creator in Second Life, featuring a wide variety of products, many of which feature a graphic style and color palette similar to the popular Japanese character Hello Kitty and the additional characters that make up the Hello Kitty brand.
Hello Kitty is a prominent part of the cuteness culture, or kawaii aesthetic, of Japanese popular culture which includes entertainment, clothing, food, toys, personal appearance, and mannerisms. In Kitty’s world there are at least ten characters, including Kitty herself, and a host of other objects and details in that world’s signature simple style.
This episode airs on Wednesdays and Saturdays from July 27 to August 6 inclusive.

“Where Have You Been?” visits Svarga and discovers SLRPS

In Series 2, Episode 9, we visit a fabulous location from the dim past: Svarga. It was created in 2006 by Laukosargas Svarog, and even in those days it was a must-see destination — an excellent example of the virtual builder’s craft. It’s immersive, and uses a rich mixture of shape and texturing to evoke the world of the Gods from Slavic mythology.
It’s one of the regions preserved by Linden Lab as being of special historical interest — and we also discuss the SLRPS (Second Life Region Preservation Society) and some of the other historic regions preserved under its banner.

Where Have You Been…? Jurassic Park! Tribute
In the latest episode of our original series, “Where Have You Been?”, where we suggest places to go and things to do around the Second Life Grid, we visit the Jurassic Park Adventure, the latest experience from :oxygen, created by Justice Vought. It’s a tribute experience with several different levels: there’s a cave of dinosaur fossils, plus helicopter, Pteranodon and jeep rides, all highly exciting and immersive — and (especially at the “dangerous level”) scary where traps await you! There are peaceful vegetarian long-necks, but there are also Velociraptors — and of course, T. Rex! Fans of the movie series and thrill seekers alike might like to consider a visit to Jurassic Park!
