Ok, shameless plug here; todays my second rezz-day. YAY! But what keeps me in SL with all the grid issues, complaints and griefing? Is it the ability to play with my avie's look, explore, special events and concerts? Besides the social aspect that SL offers me, I love having my own pixelated land, any house my lindens can afford, decorated any possible way imaginable.

From 4 awesome and amazing giant virtual doormat entries - probably a virtual first ;) - for Greenies Lawn by Desiree Whalen, Cherokee Landman, Clarrice Cinquetti and Shadoe Landman, Desiree Whalen's landed UFO doormat with hand-in-eye logo was most the most popular in our web poll. By majority of votes, this means that Miss Whalen wins 2000 L$, a Greenies Avatar of her choice, a Zapgun (Transferable Gift Box) and a Hooverboard (Transferable Gift Box)AND her Doormat was rezzed to stay at the Greenies Lawn Sim.

The creator of the winning doormat will receive 2000 L$, a Greenies Avatar of your choice, a Zapgun (Transferable Gift Box) and a Hooverboard (Transferable Gift Box). En plus, the doormat will be rezzed at Greenies Lawn. Go and VOTE for your favourite doormat - voting ends midnight SLT July 21th. You can choose between the following doormats:
