Greetings from inworld! This is my web site for elLCee Tabak enterprises. As of 20 December 08, LCT-ent is in development mode with great plans for 2009. We have already reserved space in the Harbor Village Shops on MUSE Island for the release of our debut 2009 collection. In addition to clothing for "real people" inworld, we can offer assistance in SL orientation, event planning and guided tours.
It is part of our business plan, to enable shopping online here as well to better serve our RL business clients.
Please contact me, either inworld or in life, to let me know how elLCee Tabak enterprises can assist you, your business, or school with your virtual world needs.
elLCee Tabak
after a month’s total hiatus due to intensive RL training, and other significant RL transitions, I am back to trying to redefine my SL life. I am dabbling continually in the eMporium in the Scottish Highlands and looking for new SL employment experiences.
So much focus now on RL performative opportunities – good news of course – but that means moderation in SL activities. Still, there is always time for old friends.

you should really come and visit. Often when I want to a moment to – breathe – in Second Life – without the frenzy , the woot-hoot, and occasional idiocy of crowded encounters – this is where I come.
That’s when I make my way to Muse Isle Northwest – if I don’t pause for a spell at the swans on the pond – or stroll around the water’s edge, I will pop into the Mill and snuggle into one of its nooks. The music is the best in blues you’ll find – even when it isn’t live.

the Ciudad Mexico sim has moved ….. within the Grid, which meant some downtime. I had been skimming their notices and I read the info as it came in … but when just in a mood to groove como una chamaca loca, I TPed in to the only LM I had. Ninguna cosa estuve alla. Nada, oops. I forgot. Their build crew was slamming prims overtime to put the new sim up… but I had begun to have… CM withdrawal.

… I am not at liberty to discuss the news that has got me so down. Not just yet. But change seems to be intrinsic to Second Life just like 1st life. I keep telling myself that it won’t be so bad, just different. Most of the time that doesnt work very well. Not just yet.
It was Vampire Night at Alcatraz.... and afterward I went off to mope

this question was posed to me by an SL friend, interviewing for an upcoming discussion. it gave me great pause to wonder…. am I my avatar? or what? the first issue that had to be solved was… exactly who is EllCee? what makes her “her”?
Not Many Faces... and the Shape and Skin are SAME!
I am of many races … when I sculpted my SL shape, I went completely mestizo. and you can see – just different hair and I *seem* a different “person”. However, my experience is that the fluidity of the exterior only serves as a cleansing bath to clear away the confusion of the inner identity. By being so many “selves” on the outside, only helps me to have more clarity of who my “self” really is.

The Virtual Africa project of Uthango Social Investments filmed on their sim this morning as part of a plan to create short piece to be broadcast on South African (RL) television which is syndicated through Africa. The goal is to create positive press on potential for virtual worlds. Evidently SL has gotten only negative press in Africa. Come to think of it, there isn’t much press on positive things in SL in USA either.
Those of us who have had opportunity to meet up with Virtual Africa staff, and join their group, got the notice of the filming scheduled today. I got to be in several scenes, but who knows what will end up in the final cut.

I am just hoping that Alanagh Recreant is successful in this endeavor – and it begins to generate tie-ins to Virtual Africa sim from many places.

in Virtual Africa. Got a group IM from Alanagh Recreant who had some new rafts to test out, and was looking for brave souls to test them out. There *are* virtual crocodiles (or are they alligators) in the virtual river, after all.
I let my raft mates do the rowing, and took in the view.

there has been so much I have refrained from blogging about here that has happened in the last six weeks. I have done this out of my high regard for the others whom were involved. Hey, if you want a tell-all, go buy some Barbara Cartland. I have decided that as of March 1, 2009 I am officially no longer a newbie. It is certainly past the usual customary measure of 90 days. However, as we all know, physical (ahem – or should I say digital) age is only one measure of growth. I have passed into the understanding that, though nearly everything might be possible in Second Life, just like its real life counterpart, all our choices come with consequence.
I have learned a sorrowful truth about myself. I have a certain dream about my Second Life, that involves a lot of committment – in both time and effort. The life in my other existence has its committments. Between them all – I am pretty committed. Some other things that I might have wished most for in Second Life, may not ever be for me. I haven’t the time, and sadly, I have discovered, I do not wish to make the time. I do not really have a clue of why my own little SL dream of my store is so important to me – I just know that it is. I may therefore, be a most imperfect SL friend. I have to believe that those who truly care for me in all my lives, will still do so, and root me on. I guess I am about to discover exactly who these people are.

note to self: just like in the real world way-finding in virtual worlds is as, if not more critical. though the structures of events and their relationships have new opportunities, the way we simple human beings navigate them is not much different
Arrival – seek direction – choose path – travel – find destination
My question is: Just exactly how was I supposed to find out about all those fabulous vendor and poster displays at Memorial University that were related to the conference? eh? I went back to the web site – both the wiki and the vwbpe.org
Not one mention of this site – NOT ONE!
Finally found what I REALLY wanted to see at the VWBPE conference
If I were a sponsor or a vendor, and if I did not get much traffic from the conference at Memorial U – how interested am I going to be to return? An effective plan is needed.

the VWBPE – Virtual Worlds Best Practices in Education conference is upon us this weekend. The planning for certain aspects was very informally done, so I had no real idea until 72 hours ago that they even liked the idea of using Avatar Starter Wardrobe free gifts. However, through my SL contacts, the idea was gently reintroduced, and the timing must have been exquisite, because not only did I get to provide the bags, but I got a small spot in the main Visitor and Social area of the conference events between the Newbie orientation area and the Professional Vendor area. I am at the end of the “professional” lane so they have to cross right in front of my niche to go to any of the more unstructured spots.
Final Setup at VWBPE Conference
It was somewhat of a mystery what I was trying to design to fit into. Even at this writing, about 24 hours before the conference start, most of the Social area is still a green lawn.
Both of the committee members involved with overall conference planning have seen my setup, and thought it was very good. Evidently I will fit into an overall plan of some kind, though I’m clueless as to what it is.
No rest for the weary though. All the 100s of people coming through who potentially will get my Muse Island LM, theoretically might want to come and visit my shop. I’ve got some stuff for my low end Newbie upstair store, and its time to get back on track for my own work.
