Eden, and their own webpages

If you read the Naked Dreams post (below), you'll find that there is a comment from Brenda Hoisin, co-owner of the Edenopolis group of sims.

Brenda mentions Eden's own webpages, which I was aware of but which I've failed to link to previously. No agenda, just forgetfulness. It's a must-read for anyone who uses Eden, and I'm more than happy to right my oversight right now.

The link to Eden's own webpages is here. It's an essential read for those of us who, as Brenda said in her comment, wish to live the naturist dream in SL.

For what it's worth, Eden is rapidly coalescing into THE naturist sim(s) in SL, as it endeavours to practically build a naturist world within the second world. A visit is well worth any genuine SL naturist's time, membership is cheap and so is housing. I can foresee a time when Eden does actually become an entity unto itself within SL, and exists semi-autonomously as a region where you can shed your clothes and live, shop and work naked all the time and becomes a place where all you need for your naturist SL is available. At some point in the future, later this year, I expect 'SSL' to locate an office somewhere in the Eden sim, to show that we, as a blog, are 'open for business' within a properly managed naturist environment, and also that, commercially, Eden is also open for business.

While Wild Coast remains possibly the focal point for naturist socialising (in terms of visitors), Eden has long since outstripped it in terms of things to do and see and a place to live. In a sense it is representing a new concept of thinking in Second Life (for which credit must go to Brenda and Elbag) as there is a clear vision behind the sims to create almost a 'country' within Second Life (well, an archipelago of islands, rather than one land mass). The point where 'Eden' pretty much becomes SL's first 'country' cannot, surely, be far away? (Yes, I know there are sims for 'India' and 'Ireland' or whatever, or we have 'Gor' type sims, but these tend to be visual representations of the geography and architecture of a real life location (or in Gor's case, a literary world). Eden is something new and different, and appears to be -whether Brenda and Elbag know it or not- nudging its way to a point where the sims exist as an identifiable 'country' not extant in the real world. And that, for me, represents a whole new SL philosophy that can be tapped. Have we reached a point now where we no longer have 'group tags' for Eden, but what are becoming 'passports' to a new imagined, thrilling and delightful nude world and life?

Maybe I've gone off on a rant here, lol, and it's not strictly speaking 'erotic' or 'sensual' matters that form the bread and butter of this blog, but these are a few thoughts on where the wonderful Eden is headed. Let me know if you agree or disagree with the sentiments I've expressed.

Edited to add....I've added a direct link to the 'Eden' webpages in the 'blogs that I read' section (to the right of the page) and have also added a link to Buffy's own webpages there too. If you've got webpages or blogs that you think fit within the SSL brief, please let me know and I'm more than happy to start assembling a 'links' page for 'out of world' pages that reflect and enhance our inworld experiences).
