Mods on the Grid. Episode Three

Shauna is one of the coolest dressers on the mod scene, she's even cooler than me, blimey I know what your thinking..."How can that be?" but its true. As well as being a sixties fashion guru Shauna edits the long running and very fine Moonletters blog which is well worth checking out and linked to your right. There are some fine writers on the blog who offer cool tips, interesting thoughts and information on whats happening in the virtual world. Oh, I contribute some drivel too.


But, blogging isnt her only string on a many strung boiw, hmm does that make sense. There is also the Moonletters HQ which is stuffed with interesting things to do so why not pay it a visit. Shauna is a champion of the virtual sixties scene and I heard Slate cite her as one of the inspirations for the iconic Northern England sim which incorporated the virtual legend that is the Twisted Wheel. I cannot think of any higher praise than that. And besides she is a wonderful person and very helpful, I know Ive said that on all three of these pieces but its true. The virtual mod scene is exceptional friendly, small and tight knit but exceptionally friendly eager to welcome and assist newcomers to the great thing that is mod music and the virtual scene.

Name:  

  • Shauna Vella

Top Mod Clubs:

  • 5:15
  • AAI
  • Soul Mods
My Top Five Tracks Would Be:

Impossible to choose favorite tracks, but as far as mod groups I tend to favor the more rocking ones like The Who, The Kinks, The Small Faces, etc.

My Top Three Stores Are:


  • Barerose
  • LicoLico Mall (it's filled with stores, such as Canal Grande)
  • Umi Usagi.
What is great about being a Virtual Mod:

  • Mod music and fashion appeals to me. I don't like places that have Nickelback on the radio, thong wearing escorts, multi-colored flashing lights with loud walls and floors. Mods know how to have a good time while managing to listen to the best music, and look way cooler than any other subculture in Second Life. There tends to be dramas and fights among mods though, and I can't keep track of who is mad at who. But there's still a feel of belonging when you're a mod among other mods.
What would make Virtual Mod life better

  • It would be cool if good mod locations would stick around. Just when I start to feel at home in one it's often gone. Mods need a secure party hangout.
Best Mod Band:

  • My favourite mod band was or is:.The Who
Now those essential Smash Hitsian type questions, giving an insight into the inner pschye

My Favourite Colour is:

  • Red..................................

My Favourite Cup Of Tea is:

  • Earl Grey................................

Hob Nob or Digestive? Which one are you?



  • Mocker... oh wait, wrong question......................

    1. Hi Albion. I commented before but I don't think it went through. What nice you things you've written! I'm thrilled to be mentioned on the Ace Face's blog. ;)

      As for Slate citing me as an influence, I think I know what you mean. He and I were talking in Micio's club, but I believe he was citing Liverpool sim as the influence, not me personally. We used to go to Liverpool in the early days. You would have loved it as it was bigger than 1965 England, and had the Cavern Club, Stamps, etc. Was on a whole island.

      Anyway, thanks for making me sound so cool here. You rule! haha
