Just a brief intro to remind you that most of the pictures in Pink Point are connected with teleport links to the actual place in Pink Village. Click the picture to go there exploring the site!

In this issue we also introduce a new section: "Real Life News". Lacerta will be serving some RL news here, and like for the rest of PP, also she will appreciate your comment or suggestion.

Enough babble for now, go on with the 5th issue instead...:o)

What's New?

Citizens
June 5th:
19 PV citizens
2 PV friends

The new PVC
The new Pink Village Council is:
Eljay, Lacerta and Bille. Any suggestions, questions or comments are welcome to make PV the best gay community. Mail links are also at the local Post Office (at the Town Hall).

Rent a shop!
The 3 shops for rent are now ready for anyone that would like to offer some service to the other PV citizens and guests. In the shop you can have any pics, signs or objects you like, and of course a mailbox. You will not be able to build in the shop, but Bille will assist you within the limits of the full area. Pict-objects linked to your local server will allow you to change the contents whenever you want. The shops are free and can be ordered by mailing any member of the PV Council.

Post Office is full
The walls at our Post Office are now fully covered with the citizens' mail signs. This means that the latest registered citizens don't have any sign at the moment. We are working on solving this problem as soon as possible.

The World Clocks
Have you noticed that Eljay has added clocks at the
Active Map page? For a start you can now check out all Adelaide (Australia), Oslo (Norway), GMT, London and USA NH times there. Might be helpful when calculating the time differences.

PP has moved
The editorial office of Pink Point has moved from the Town Hall to the corner Trans Rd/Maze Str, 2nd floor. The new office has been equipped with 3 desks, and anyone who want to contribute in making this paper can get a chair :o)

If you know any lesbians that might be interested, please spread the rumour. Everyone loves AlphaWorld and any lesbian with some megabytes in her box will surely love Pink Village!:o)

Pink Village Council

Someone asked: What is the Pink Village Council (PVC) and what are they supposed to do?

PVC is Eljay, Lacerta and Bille. Briefly explained the PVC is meant to be a planning and administrating group for our community.

As PV grows there will be several tasks to take care of. Like the active map that Eljay already runs, and the girls pics that Lacerta is taking care of.

There are more pics, advertising and midi's that should be replaced from time to time, and we all know that most updating like these takes more than a minute. Besides there might be special requests, complains or suggestions from PV citizens - tasks that 3 brains will solve a lot better than Mayor Bille alone. Besides all this there will possibly be some contact with other AW communities or active worlds on behalf of Pink Village.

If you want to assist the PVC by taking care of one or more administrative matters at least for a while, you are welcome to do so by notifying the PVC. In the future there might be advertised services where your help is needed. If you come up with new ideas they are welcome, too.

When it comes to building new stuff in PV the PVC has no obligation more than all of us. Please keep building nice houses, parks or whatever to make PV an exciting and alive community to stay in and to visit by our guests!


Diva Museum

One of the arenas along the route of the PV celebration was the Diva Museum. The museum is built and administrated by OutLaw, PV citizen since April. Why a Diva Museum?
"I built it because I wanted to create a temple of worship for all those classic and campy women. If you notice, most of them are all larger than life...very strong personalities, and quite unique."

The gallery is both of entertaining and educative character. By clicking some of the Divas' picture you'll hear the Diva's voice. OutLaw is searching for more wav files for the Museum and suggestions are welcome.
"I'd really like to attach a wav file to Patty Duke as Neely O' Hara from "Valley of the Dolls". She is my favourite, the campiest of all. I also hope to link each Diva to a web site devoted to each of their careers, whenever time permits. That way, it will become a more educational experience....for those citizens who might not be familiar with a particular Diva's career."

Most of the Divas are now dead or hardly acting anymore, but OutLaw will work on a new section. In the future he will be adding some contemporary Divas as well, like Madonna, Sharon Stone, Streisand, and more. After the Diva Museum is completed, will PV get a similar museum featuring male Divas?
"A male Diva museum? Well, perhaps a male Idol museum. I'm open for suggestions on that notion."

Finally, OutLaw reminds us of the theatre that is located behind the museum. There is a stage for any performer and seats for the audience.
"I'd love to see a couple of PV citizens get up there and do some scenes form their favourite play or movie. How many times can I get up there and type lines from "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf" all by myself - for an audience of one? Oh well...it amuses me."

Let's hope that all seats are taken the next time OutLaw or anyone else performs in the theatre. Announcements can be made - it's all up to you folks to grab this challenge!:o)


Lilli by Steppi

The tiny Gallerie 2222 opened it's 3rd exhibition June 1st. "The Art of Lilli", which is the tittle of this exhibition, gives us fantasy and dream mixed up in delightful colours.


Left: the artist Steppi. Right: from the opening at Gallerie 2222.

This time the gallery is devoted to Steppi, who has been creating various computer manipulated pictures for 4 years. The model for these works has been his beloved wife, Lilli. Both Lilli and Steppi honoured us with their presence at the opening. The exhibition can be visited until July 25th.

More info on the artist can be found from the diary at Gallerie 2222.


Pink Village celebration

The PV gathering May 24th did include events at Rainbow Garden, Pink Avenue, Pink Parade Night-club, Cool Café, Diva Museum, Sky Forest and Dusk til Dawn Bar. There were two separate sections starting 11:00 and 23:00 GMT. Unfortunately the system was very slow for the first hour which made most of us feel like walking on glue or something:)

Anyway, the new PV Council was presented at the opening, and afterwards the group went playing at the Pink Avenue before there was dancing and more beers.


Eljay and Lacerta were introduced

At 23:00 the system was back to normal, and without knowing for sure, there was at least 12 people joining the group. At the Diva Museum we discussed the divas, and Joan Crawford and Liz Taylor was among the most liked. The group stacked together even at the men's room, must be a typical queer thing to do...

At Sky Forest Café, which also contents a large outdoor area, there were finally time for private chatting, before the remains of the group went to Dusk til Dawn Bar for cyber beer number 20...:)
