Miss Belgium Second Life 2007-2008

Yesterday, the elections of Miss Belgium Second Life 2007 took place at the New Mardes Club in the Belgian Sim.
As expected, a lot of people attend the show, or at least tried to attend, as, you can imagine, the lag was terrible.
I was asked to sit in the jury, which was an honour for me, together with Spinneke Jewell, owner of the Spin Lounge Club, and Ron Curtes, of the Mardes Club.
As I was sitting on the stage, I could see everything from the first row. That is what I thought. But as soon as the crowd was getting in, the lag was enormous. Ron did crash several times, and I even missed the first part of the show, I did not even knew how many contestants there were.
I could not move, could not take any picture, and even Spinneke did not want to talk in IM, afraid as she was for crashing in the middle of the show.
When AnnSophie, organiser of this event, asked to start voting on the contestboard, the board crashed, and everyone had to vote with a notecard.
Nevertheless, we may say, that it was a major event in the virtual history of Belgian's Second Life, with a great success and a beautiful winner.
Everyone will have to take his lesson after such an event, to take precautions, when possible, for the lag, and certainly forbid the repeatable gestures, which were very annoying some times.
Congratulations though to the organisation, because it was a very beautiful event, and congratulations to all the contestants, but especially to the winner, Ninake Benelli, miss Belgium Second Life 2007.

You will be able to see all the pictures of this event at my flickr stream, in the set of Miss Belgium 2007.

Contest at the New Mardes - Victory !!!

The contest at the new Mardes Club is finally over. A month can be very long, I can assure you that. But at the end the victory taste good.
I would like to thank this way in the first place, Yum Yum, who pointed the place out where I could make some beautiful pictures. And she was right.
Of course all the people who voted for me, and in particular Wilma and Flok, who did a great job as campaign leaders. Without them, I doubt if I had won.
I also would like to congratulate all the candidates, as their pictures were all really good, but especially Vint and Angillilah, who finished second and third in the competition.
And finally, and I hope I did not forget anyone, I would like to thank the organizers of the contest, AnnSophie, Vacature and Secondlifecrew.be, as they did a marvelous job.
When you would like to see the results, look here.
I don't know when the awards will be handed over, but I will surely report it on this blog.

Thank you all for your support !!

Grensgeval @ the New Mardes Club

Yesterday evening, there was a concert of the Belgian group "Grensgeval" at the new Mardes Club.

As they are becoming, or already are, one of the most acting group in second life, I thought it must be worthwile to see and be persuaded of their talents.
As I could see that Freggeltje Food, their manager, was singing every song word by word, one could think that they didn't know the words, but that was just for the show, I can imagine.:))
