I have been using Second Life for eighteen months or so in one Avatar or another. Second Life is definatly my second home. I love it and I love the people and the variety of life on it.

Like lots of people who visit here for the first time, I began life as an exotic dancer in a sex club. I met some of my best friends there, some of who I still keep in touch with. It was there I learned how to use Second Life, how to dress and alter my avatar, as well as a host of other things I prefer not to mention now!! (I still blush!).

Without the help and support of others, Second Life can be a lonely and miserable place. It can be bewildering and I am sure that without help many new visitors give up after only a few hours or even minutes. Its hard to teach yourself. Even now I learn new things every day. Second Life changes regularly and keeps me constantly busy.

I have moved from dancing and stripping, to modelling and catwalk. I enjoy the finer things of the grid now. I enjoy sailing, sky diving, scuba diving, golf, horse riding etc etc.... My aim is to introduce Second Life in all its fullness to anyone who is interested. I have learned to build, although far from an expert I could knock up a nice house! I am learning to make clothes, program scripts and scuplties.

I am far from being an expert at anything, however I have learned by mistakes most of the time and can save a newcomer a lot of frustration by guiding them away from my follies. I may not be an expert in any field, however I know lots of people who are so can signpost those seeking the best help. (I am working now on training Lindens and knocking them into shape...... They walk around like they own the place!)

If I can help I will. I am not ALWAYS available so please do not take offence if I sidestep your request. I will not ignore it, but may sometimes ask you to wait or suggest someone else. It will be nothing personal. (I will always answer emergencies if I can!)

Best Regards and happy Second Life
