Natalia Zelmanov's most excellent adventures!
Posted on: March 10, 2007
Here comes my praise for super-explorer Natalia Zelmanov, who's been enriching Second Life Resis 'cross the grid with her adventures and teachings. The former, because she updates her Diary Blog so frequently and even keeps track of the days! The latter, because in addition to being a beauty pageant winner (which I didn't learn about until today), she also makes tutorials which serve as a shining example to those who come to learn… and I hope there are a lot.
As you know, one of my specialties is looking for holes, voids where nascent seeds of opportunities can be grown: Natalia took the initiative in sharing "Creating Particle Effects Part 1". Anyone worth their pixelflesh who honors the name of particle wizard Jopsy Pendragon knows good particle tutorials are hard to come by, and suitably, Natalia's illustrated hers with helpful pictures and an easy-to-follow narrative. In addition, since I've been high on Video Tutorials, it makes sense I found out about her "Creating Prim Hair Part 1 + 2 + 3", with the 3rd possessing a full-fledged video.
As Natalia sez:
Help me…Im addicted to blogging and I cant stop!
I can relate! She was so kind to post about the Texture Tools page on our Public Wiki, which I hope you'll contribute to if you've got usefulness to share!
Synchronicity has a habit of bringing good things together: incidentally, I learned Natalia's also Avatar of the Week in the latest AvaStar. I smile upon reading the last paragraph, happy that I've helped inspire positively, and unto new generations of avatars, Natalia now carries the torch brightly, lighting the way for a second lifetime of discovery and wonder!

Natalia's blog is an excellent way to find places to visit in SL. I have found several great places due to her suggestsion. On a side note, if anyone is interested in religious sites in SL, there is a comprehensive site listing them by Drown Pharoah: http://www.bayyinat.org.uk/secondlife.htm

@Natalia, you're super-welcome, and OK… I really blush hearing that.
It's because in part, when I go around, I do so presuming that you don't know me, and I come to know you first. Sounds kind of silly (and I am deluded that way), but keeps me hungry for discovery.
Keep doing more tutorials, now that is really inspiring!
