Wirxli ON THE SPOT!

SPOTTED! Wirxli FLimFlam once again makes an appearance in the SLebrity gossip section of The Avastar on Page 16 of Issue #36.

This is from the German language edition of The AvaStar Issue #36.

Hey there SLebrity, Celebrity and assorted fans of a spotty variety!

Well, I was trying to take a brief vacation from blogging but sure enough, the media's limelight...er... the spotlight always seems to find me and manages to successfully illuminate my pink hair and drag me back into the fray.

So, as you can see from the above evidence, the tabloid media-zine known as The AvaStar found me speaking on a panel at the xxXtenXion festival in Regensburg and even successfully squeezed a soundbyte from me where I admitted that the magazine itself helped to shape my identity....and despite what you usually read in the tabloids, this time what I was quoted on saying is 100% accurate! For the record, I REALLY said that the AvaStar has molded me into who I am...in fact, they are the core and essence of my very being! Wow!

Check out these other photos below for additional mentions of me that help to further illustrate the excesses of my roccoco ego that is swirling and spiralling out of control (ok, that part is a tabloid-esque lie) within the sassy media frenzy known as SLebrity Life....

This is the full page spread of the "a-stars" gossip column.

Here are Evo Szuyuan (videographer - seated on the pic's left hand side) and Miulew Takahe (coordinator - seated on the pic's right hand side) from the Avatar Orchestra Metaverse previewing the new and improved machinima document of my recent in-world orchestral composition, SLippery SLope. They seem to be watching this sneak-preview at Ian Ah's lounge on Odyssey Island.

Here is Evo's personal nomination for me as the "Best Performing Artist"... Please visit this link here and vote for me on Enniv Zarf's Krystal Epic website.

Wirxli in the Travel section of The Ava-Star!

Interview with Wirxli Flimflam - Avastar Issue #12, Page#21 - Travel section.

Here is the German language version of the same article.

Hey performance art and travel fans,

Once again, an exclusive interview with me has been featured in The Avastar. This time, Leider Stepanov has interviewed me for the travel section.

Below is a sample of the cover - I think this is the first time that my name has been mentioned on the cover of the Avastar. Once again, I am seen as female... I am so pleased with myself that I have chosen to be a gender neutral avatar.
I can appear in both the Womens' and Mens' special issues ;-)

"WACKY" WIRXLI STRIKES AGAIN!

Wirxli Flimflam in his/her third celebrity (also known in-world as a SLebrity) appearance in the German tabloid known as The AVA-STAR. This newbie celebrity feature was written by the AVA-STAR reporter, Carrie Sodwind.

Hey folks!

Yes, once again, I appear in the German tabloid, The AVA-Star. It looks like Carrie has interpreted my official gender as being "female" which is fine by me. The more gender-ambigious I look, the more I feel like "myself"... hehheh! I am still not sure what gender I should be...it all depends on the context of the moment, I guess. To read the whole issue, click on this PDF here. For this issue, I am on page #29 (apx. page 16 on the PDF draft). To read about my previous appearances in the AVA-STAR, click here.

In the meantime, here are a couple of souvenir photos from the past week to hold you off while I prepare to blog all about my brand new PR Office on Sugar Seville's Odyssey Island...


Speaking of The AVA-STAR, their headquarters designed by Aimee Weber happens to by one of my preferred drinking holes and social haunts. Here I am with my good friend Nyko Nakamura. We are hanging out for a drink together in the official Ava-Star bar and lounge.

STRANGEST CULTURE WITH SECOND FRONT

Here I am with some members of Second Front. Sitting next to me with the tan hat is VR Community pundit, Howard Rheingold. Howard appears to have nodded off during the screening of Lynn Hershman Leeson's movie about Steve Kurtz for the Sundance Film Festival. For some reason, I thought "Penny Proost" with the red hair and green dress in the back row (obscured by the trademark "Wacky Wirxli" hairstyle) may have been the Second Life avatar for Tilda Swinton. To view official press coverage from this screening event, please click on this link from Stanford University.

In addition to Stanford's media list, there seemed to be adequate press coverage by the Metaverse Messenger at this screening. M2 Staff photographer, Phedre Dumouriez took an official photo of Second Front but I have not see it published quite yet. M2's staff reporter, Untamable Wildcat was also there but so far has only reviewed the screening itself and not Second Front's performance there.

More details of this screening performance with Second Front can by find by clicking this link here and also this link here.
