What will bring us the year 2009? Do the true inhabitants of the large house return?

Will we finally fetched from a second parent ship? What is 26 x 2?

Do we become acquainted with new habits and hobbies of humans?

 Do we turn blue, if we stay longer on the earth? 

And how highly can a cockroach jump? Questions over questions!

The green guys know only one thing for sure. They will celebrate the New Year with a fantastic firework show and  DJane Sarlah Maggs!!! Friday, 2-4pm SLT. Everybody is invited and get a small gift!!! Join us and have fun on a gigantic extraterrestrial scale.

Something that always astounds me about the talent of creators, clothing designers in particular, in Second Life is how they have the power to make you believe. A commonly uttered phrase about SL (admittedly normally about whatever drama is happening on the Grid that day) is “It's just pixels”. True enough, but when the pixels we are treated to daily in SL have been treated with as much love and care as these, who are we to complain? I have no graphical, or mechanical skill whatsoever (when I once tried to play with flexi in Second Life, all I could do was make a scary tentacle, which now proudly terrorizes visitors to my friend's garden), it's really quite shameful, but I really am quite excellent at suspending disbelief when I see something beautiful. A good amount of my friends are technically minded, and when they see something cool in SL, they'll say “I wonder how they did that?”.

The cold season just started and our green friends celebrate Christmas with the help of their new friends from all over the world. They decorate the house, bake cookies in the big stove and play christmas elfs by making lots of gifts. The Greenies also found a new hobby ... winter sports like hoversnowboarding or icecreamball fighting. They do it with lots of passion and enthusiasm cause snow and ice are unknown things on their home planet.

Lets accompany the Greenies on their journey through Christmas and winter time, have fun with the lil green guys and take lots of memory pictures from their experience with frozen stuff and Santa Claus.

A special "Greenies Winter Experience" photo contest starts December 22th 2008 and ends January 19th 2009. We have 3 categories in which you can proof your photographer talent:
