Christmas in Caledon!
November 23, 2007 by primperfect
Christmas is a-coming - and Prim Perfect is preparing to help you celebrate with a bumper edition due out on December 15th, and packed with goodies, prizes and competitions - as well as places to go and events to attend over the holiday season!
And the exciting news is that our Sim of the Month is going to be … well, rather a lot of sims, actually, as we shall be celebrating Christmas in the lovely 19th Century steampunkVictorian Independent Republic of Caledon.
The Caledon sims are one of the longest established groups of roleplaying sims with a coherent identity. Their style, elegance and friendliness are all famed across the grid, a lot of it down to the man they call the Guvnah, Desmond Shang, whose vision has created, fuelled and driven Caledon.
It’s also notoriously difficult to buy land on Caledon - and there’s a long waiting list for new residents, so popular are the sims. So that makes it all the more exciting that this month’s competition is to win a home on the exciting new sim of Caledon Morgaine - so new that it doesn’t even appear yet on the map!
As always, the star competition in the magazine carries a month’s free rental of this exciting home - but there’s more too! The Guvnah has said that, if the winner of the competition wishes too, after the month is over, she or he will be able to remain in their new home, simply paying tier. That is truly a memorable star prize!
~~~~~~~~~
Over the next few days, we’ll be telling you about some of the goodies we have lined up for you for Christmas - but to start, there’s an opportunity to win a prize from the Prim Perfect treasure cupboard (and publication) for the best Christmas poem and short story we receive before December 6th. There will be two categories - one for stories and poems related to Caledon - and one for the rest of the grid!
So get writing - and send your entries to primperfect@gmail.com byDecember 6th 2007.

Hard Headed Cecil Publishing Group announces the much anticipated launch of There Ain't Nothin' Like a Dame, the book by 1wuz Gray. This tome commemorates the heroic efforts of its subject, Lapin Paris (created Dame Lapin by Her Lyonesse, the Vicereine of Caledon) in her capacity as captain of Team Caledon in the Second Life Relay for Life (which said team placed 9th in overall team amounts raised -- more than 1.3 million Lindens -- on behalf of the American Cancer Society, the entire event having raised more than 32 million Lindens) and contains many good wishes and congratulations to our wonderful new Dame.
The author felt moved to express his deep admiration of the former Ms Paris and felt that including as many people as possible in the project was appropriate. THiNC books were the perfect medium and the otter set to with furvor. Here then is the result, presented for the pleasure and edification of the good folk of Caledon
The volume will be on display in the Caledon Library's Vannevar Bush reading Garden for four days, and free copies will be available to visitors.
