Today’s Fast Five includes a fabulous real life/Second Life art gallery opening. You will want to dress up to attend the SL show so the RL folks can marvel at your style. A blogger is back from six month hiatus and there are great photos to check out.

1. Uberverse: Art From a Virtual World. Ballarat Art Space in Ballarat, just north of Melbourne, Australia is opening a showing of Second Life art. The opening event is 9:00PM – midnight SLT on Friday 8 March at b1 sky gallery and will be streamed onto a big screen in the RL gallery.
2. The Body Was Willing: Caoimhe Lionheart’s photo for this post are stunning. She is a great stylist and the bold use of light to blow out these photos make this an almost impressionistic explosion of color.
3. Siren’s Song: With the release of the amazing sirens from The Erare Project, there have been many mermaid photos. Shawneese Offcourse does an exceptionally sexy and dangerously alluring siren.
4. Play Ball: Cherryblossoms Resident has a cute, playful outfit that would make her the chicest basketball player in the universe. I love her boots.
5. Brushed Chiffon: Lily Eggstar is back to blogging after a six-month hiatus. She has not lost her skills one tiny bit.

Five great posts today! From high concept couture to cute and cozy, there’s a lot of variety. The non-fashion posts include a good tutorial and an example of amazing self-awareness and self-examination.

1. Thanatos: This is one for the guys. Carthalis Rossini shows off some new skins from The Men’s Department that are so striking and high concept that they make me want to see something similar for women.
2. Roxi Bluewood: Roxi Bluewood contributes a brutally honest self-examination to the Connecting: 365 SL Lives project. If only we could all be so honest with ourselves. 
3. Tips & Tricks: Winning the Inventory Cleanup Battle: Hamlet Au wrote and article for New World Notes after reading this extensive and comprehensive tutorial on inventory cleanup. Hamlet points out that the difficult work of managing our inventory is another reason to charge for excessive inventories. I will leave that debate to the comments on his article, but I did want to encourage folks to check out the tutorial.
4. Persephone: Dantelicia Ethaniel’s post features a beautiful and moving picture. I always am excited to see what she posts because she is the most free and experimental of all SL fashion photographers and bloggers.
5. Simplicity: Naraelina Ordinary’s post is adorable. I love the photo and the epistolatory format of her post. It feels like getting a letter from an old friend, cosy, confiding and casual.

Today’s fast five includes advice for selling lindens that sounds like good advice for buying lindens as well, a fabulous post that was shot with real imagination and some other worthy things to check out.

• How to Sell Lindens: Gogo explains how to maximize your money when selling lindens, though clearly the advice would also be useful for buying lindens, too. 
• Underneath This Adolescent Sky: Magenta DeVinna blogs about the Pilot Dollhouse from The Arcade Gacha. You have to check out her photos. She used such with and creativity, that I am sure this is the best use of the Dollhouse ever.
• Like Sisyphus, Only Not: This is an oh, wow! photo from Whiskey Monday. I know I just highlighted a post from her, but this is so good you don’t want to miss it just because I want to avoid repeating myself.
• Blasphemy: From our own Hybie Minx, for her fabulous travel blog. This post makes me want to go shoot there right now. I particularly love the last picture. It’s so bold and graphically striking that I can see it as a fabulous background for a photo featuring an avant garde dress.
• DJ Exclusive: Interview with…: Piedmont Cartauld has another exclusive DJ interview and you will never guess with whom. No clues, you have to go look.
