For the second time in less than a month, the GA sim of Le Dome (GA Reserve) has received recognition from Linden Labs Destination Guide Editors! Close on the heels of the selection of ZOO WORLD as a favorite pick, the Editors have selected DARK ROMANCE as one of their favorites as well as a featured destination. Click here to go directly to the Destination Guide listing.
Congratulations once again to Benoit Lednev on creating a venue with a unique ambiance welcoming to SL Vampires, Lycans and all other residents who are drawn to dark, mysterious places when in-world. The setting is an abandoned cemetery at the edge of Le Dome shrouded in ground mists, shadows, monuments and crypts.
Another big 'thank you' to Benoit for sharing your brilliant creativity with us! Keep up the great work!
In June of 2011, Fabrice Snook asked me – almost begged me - to make again a calendar for the Gay Archipelago. I had my doubts as making a calendar is a time-consuming project if you want to involve 12 or more clubs, select models with contests and find enthusiastic photographers. I agreed with Fab's arguments that our visitors love to model and are fond of contests. It is also a great avenue for the clubs and shows the community spirit. So we decided to add an extra stimulus by asking sponsors for the presentation and to ask Theatre on the Hill to organize a combination of show elements and fashion.
Now my job as 'professional beggar' was created. Finding photographers was not as hard as I had thought. Some creators of last year's calendar were very pleased to be asked again. The models? They were as proud as a movie star winning an Oscar Award. The toughest quest was to find interested clubs and sponsors. I had confrontations with club managers who did not believe in this project and refused to pay L$ 1000 or more for a contest winner prize. I had similar experiences with some tenants who were not interested at all. That means, you will see a lot of participating clubs who were also partners of the 2011 calender. Hat's-off to the sponsors I found finally; they are 'formidable' !
For publicity reasons I have chosen a male calendar with a sexy touch. If you don't want to see male nudes, you better not take a copy or close your eyes if you see a calendar in one of the clubs.
As we all know, Fabrice did not see the results of this project. For that reason I delayed the calendar-release show, 'Forbidden Fruits' along with the planned fashion presentation. On January 2, 2012, we hosted a modest New Years reception and Oliver Elton showed curious visitors the new 2012 calendar. DJ Regi Yifu was to kind to help with tunes and it was great to see a lot of owners and managers of the clubs wishing each other a Happy New Year.
The calendar ( boxed in a green plastic bag ) has been given to the sponsors Regimade Jeans, J&D Design, Butterfly Beach, RG&DW, Cox Leather and Neon Coyote. Thank you guys and gal for your confidence and awesome goodies for the giftbox. Managers and owners of the participating role-play sims Romanum, Navan and UCG (Tabor and Nyundo) also got a copy. The same for the clubs The Engine, E2 Mediadrome, Badpuppy Beach Club, The Aqua Lounge, Arsenal, Gay Islands Club, The Bathhouse, Dorian Gray (now defunct), Gay Rivièra Beach and The Bunker. Some of them have rezzed the calendar and/or the giftbox in their shop(s) and loccations for you.
Thank everyone all for your help, unexpected donations and suggestions.
If you cannot find the boxed calendar; you can visit my library at the GA sim Thira to take your copy. Please also enjoy the 2012 Info Book with interviews featuring our superb models and a tongue-in-cheek view at 2012 by our ghost writer The Gay Whisperer.
January 2012, Othon Weiland.

‘What we call the beginning is often the end…..And to make an end is to make a beginning’ - T.S. Eliot
The end of the year, 2011 marks the end of a busy and active 6 months since the last activity report was filed. The current Council Team was faced with the immediate challenges and turmoil of situations such as the sudden disappearance of multiple estates as they left for another grid, the ‘retirement’ of Fabrice Snook, the world economic situation (yes, it does impact SL), and the continuing uncertainty behind and subsequent shifting of the ‘appointed’ leadership of this second half-year Council Team of 2011.
As the last active administrative member of this current term of the Council Team, I have taken it upon myself to file this half-year report to better inform you on the status of activities and projects which fell into this last half of the year.
GROUPS: As GA Groups manager/moderator, I am pleased to report that membership numbers have remained steady in both the GAY ARCHIPELAGO (2600 +-) group as well as the GA Events Info Group (733 +-).
