ROLE OPTIC

ROLE Magazine is pleased to announce the publication of our July, 2009 issue. July was a hectic month for the ROLE Magazine staff as we were chosen as an exhibitor for the SL6B Celebration which required a build to suit the futuristic theme. We celebrated the 6th birthday of Second Life in style with a live performance by the talented Winston Ackland and a photo contest for SL6b revelers.

We welcome new staff contributor Salvatore Otoro and anticipate his upcoming articles on role playing sims including his first in our magazine on the City of Lost Angels.

Our controversial on-going discussion of what makes art "art" continues with thoughts from Kee Llewellyn. Aldwyn Zanzibar unravels the mysteries behind three in-world pose tools and weighs in with his thoughts of the merits of each. Keeley Huet hops about the grid in search of the dearest prefab houses for our consideration. Paypabak Writer bowls us over with her in-depth look at the sixteen sim fantasy world of the Great Alliance.

As always, our fashion spreads are lush, exceptional and artfully inspired. We think you'll agree that stylists Keeley Huet, Felicity Blumenthal and fashion photographer Zoe Demar have outdone themselves once again. Ana Lutetia gently nudges the guys towards the finer things in Masculino, male fashion and Cayce Newell and Tomoyo Breitman bring us Hot Finds and a Mix & Match feature that continues to delight and inspire those itching for a weekend shopping spree.
