It’s a hard life making things for the metaverse.  You’re expected to dole out freebies to all and sundry, contribute to hunts, stuff lucky chairs full of nicies for little or no thanks, where’s the reward?

Think about it, being a content creator ain’t exactly the hotness that it’s cracked up to be really is it?

So with that in mind, I’ve decided to say ‘Thanks’, by awarding certificates to the very best fashion, skin and hair designers, content creators and concept architects from Second Life that I’ve featured upon these pages during the last twelve months.

I’ll be dishing out various certificates to all and sundry during the next couple of days…exciting huh? Of course I’d love to be able to hold an uber posh and swanky awards ceremony to accompany the certificates, as well as presenting cash prizes and statuettes..but alas I can’t..So you’ll have to make do with piss poor certificates that basically state the obvious; that you’re wonderful, that your contribution to Second Life has indeed made a difference, and should you need any encouragement to continue your hard work, well I hope that these wee certificates will perhaps show you that your effort and endeavours are indeed appreciated by this particular blogger, as well as a multitude of fellow avatars..

No drama, no fuss, just a sincere token of thanks from an avatar who is having the best adventure she could have ever imagined in this mad, crazy virtual world that she calls home:)

So, the categories are:

• Best Hair
• Best Skin
• Best Location
• Best Fashion
• Best Genre-related Fashion
• Best Interiors
• Best Dwelling
• Best Second Life Blog
• Best Newcomer
• Best Shopping Location

…and last but not least, the extra special award that is the ‘Uber Kitty Award’- the best of the best 2008!

Readers-I hope you’re as excited about this as I am! Stay tuned for the contenders and the results which are going to be announced over the next couple of days….woottt!!
