Lighthouse #1 – Broken Lighthouse @Lagom

Lighthouse #1 – Broken Lighthouse @Lagom

I’ve been living in a Lighthouse for years now! And admiring Lighthouses in my travels across the Second Life Grid. And today, I finally decided to start cataloging them!

I was heading over to Lagom to shop for some interior decor (apparently even retired virtual performance artists can get a side hustle as interior decorators) and on my way up to the shop I came across this once majestic, now beautiful in a different way, broken Lighthouse in shards and tatters strewn across the beach.

On the beach at the teleport hub for Lagom and ABC is a broken lighthouse.
The shards have a beauty in their brokenness. A bit like Robert Smithson’s 1967 essay “A Tour of the Monuments of Passaic, New Jersey.”
“Sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground.”
A tour of the monuments of Second Life.

1542 – 1576 – 2014. Having your brother order your husband to murder you is a lot. If anyone needed a reboot, it was me. In SL I'm all about education: body, mind, soul.

Hi! I'm Butter, a new Second Life avatar from Firenze, Italia! I'm an SL supermodel (at least in my own mind) out to look great, shop hard, dance wildly, and have all the fun (and none of the drama) that SL is famous for.
