Last week, the latest bar product of Esperanza was put on sale at our main store and web shopping services like SL Exchange and OnRez. Named “Horizon Bar“, this new line was designed specifically for clubs, lounges and pubs of the metaverse. The first series of Horizon Bar line includes four different models: Horizon Bar - Blue, Horizon Bar - Fuschia, Horizon Bar - Pinky and Horizon Bar Aqua. Each model has its own unique marble texture and stool design.

Marble textures was created in detail, while for the bottles rack, images of more than 50 popular liquors and drinks were cutout and composed on a realistic shelf image. For every model, the bottles rack has a different outdoor background image and the bar back has different wine posters. Stool designs also made unique, suiting the special marble texture of each bar. We can say one thing for certain: You’ll never see the same textures elsewhere in Second Life!

For long, I have been thinking about launching a new blog that would become a bridge between my Second Life activities and web presence. Since the very first day I joined SL, I have been very enthusiastic to the idea of publishing an in-world magazine but was eventually curbed by technical difficulties (e.g. lack of a good publishing format like PDF to be used in-world, there’s only Thinc Book which is not very practical.) In February 2007, when I noticed my SL business was going much smoother and better than I thought before, I switched to another project: a regularly updated blog that would promote and support Esperanza, my stores chain in SL. But unfortunately I have never found the opportunity to do this for a long time.
