As many of you know, I have been lamenting about being the only Sansar fashion blogger. Well, I now have some company!
Everybody, please welcome Ivonna and her new Sansar fashion blog, called Ivonna’s vrBLOG. Congratulations, Ivonna!

Why Second Life Users Haven’t Been to Sansar
Draxtor Despres, in his Facebook group 114 Harvest, asked the following question:
Second Life friends: have you been to Sansar? Why not?
Because both Second Life and Sansar are made by the same company, Linden Lab, it seems possible that many curious SL users would want to at least visit Sansar. (Linden Lab has made it very clear that the two products are separate platforms with separate development teams, and that Second Life will continue to be developed over time.)
Many SL users answered Drax’s question. To summarize the responses:
- I’m a Mac user, and there is no Mac client for Sansar. (I have addressed this issue here.)
- My computer is not powerful enough to run Sansar.
- My Internet connection is not fast enough to run Sansar.
- I prefer to build using the in-world tools in Second Life, rather than use external content creation tools like Blender.
- “There’s nothing to do in Sansar.” or “There’s more to do in Second Life.”
- Second Life is more fully-featured than Sansar.
- There are not enough avatar customization options in Sansar.
- I can’t bring my SL inventory over to Sansar.
It was interesting to read through all the comments!
HoverDerby, Week 4!
Another fun tournament day for HoverDerby! Congratulations to this week’s winners, SaintOfMirren and Syn!
Here’s a group photo taken in the VIP Lounge after the games:
Linden Lab Enters Into a Partnership with Livestreamer UmiNoKaiju
Remember how I said that Linden Lab needed to develop some more relationships with popular Twitch and YouTube livestreamers to help promote Sansar? (Actually, I said it more than a few times; the link is just to the most recent time I said it in this blog.)
Well, according to the new Sansar community manager, Eliot:
So if you haven’t seen it already, Twitch streamer UmiNoKaiju is doing a partnership with us! She made a video of her customising her avatar, and I bet you will recognise a few of her items 😉
It’s clear from this video that UmiNoKaiju is excited about all the avatar outfit options, and being able to dress up your avatar! UmiNoKaiju has a YouTube channel (with 3,586 subscribers) and a Twitch channel (with 60,080 followers).
