Boredom should never be a word used in SL. There are way too many things going on to keep your SL social calendar crammed full. My first advice is to join your full (or near full) capacity of groups. Search for things you like to do, places you like to go, hobbies near and dear to you in the groups section to find other people and events that share your interests. Once you join these groups their events will be sent to you in the form of notices that offer details and teleports to the social event planned. For instance, I wanted to check out the Holiday action taking place on the 4th of July....so I entered "4th" in the events search tab and pulled up loads of events taking place, from treasure hunts to parades, to dance parties....the amount of fun going on was vast! I checked out a couple of places, but my favorite spot to party this fourth was an impromtu dance party held
on the back porch of the White House at the Land of Lincoln Sim. No period dress was required for this event and the music and company were high quality. The attendees were even treated to a fireworks display at the end of the dance...great fun! (BTW - If you can find a nice Civil War era ballgown to wear, there is a historic Ball event planned for Land of Lincoln on Friday night July 11th!)For the regular event seeker, and to get a glimpse at the newest fashions making their debut in SL, I recommend searching for the word "fashion" in the events tab to locate fashion shows going on. Your best results will be on the weekends of course, but some of the fashion shows involve charity fundraisers with auctions and other great coordinating activities. And don't forget the "notify" function at the bottom of the event description to have reminders sent to you before the event begins!
Just last weekend I searched for "fashion" and came across a fashion show that I missed, but when I teleported the event location anyway, there were still models hanging around and I was able to learn about a neat new period gown designer...definitely worth the teleport! My second fashion show listing described a show that was in progress on the S.S. Galaxy cruise ship! What an experience! The ship is huge with several decks of mall shops and a very nice fashion runway on the upper level. You can even rent rooms and take a cruise - honeymoon suites available :-)
The people and models can make you lag a bit, but take a seat and relax...the models make several trips up and down the runway to allow for the rezzing drag.
What a great way to see the new designs on actual avatars! And as they stand around after their run, you can zoom your camera in to get close-up views of the clothing quality. Definitely a fun and informative way to spend some weekend time in SL!
Enjoy!
