Abranimations: Dances, Toys, Avatars, Games and Gadgets

Abranimations is the original content creator of motion captured dances, encoded and digitised for Second Life.  Abranimations has been in-world for as long as Second Life has been around.  In fact the original default animations in your library from Second Life of 13 years ago are the work of its creator Abramelin Wolfe.

Times have changed rapidly from the humble beginnings of Second Life and Abranimations is still the leader in cutting edge real life motion-captured (mo-cap) single and couples dances, with sophisticated HUDS, dance balls and animation overrides.

Inside the store, apart from dances, there are also hundreds of other Toys and Gadgets to try out. 

Whilst visiting London City you may have seen a tarot card table a mud wrestling pool, arm wrestling, spin the bottle, avatar cannon or an air balloon soaring in the sky.  All of these are available in the Abranimations London store.

With such an incredible range of Avatars, fun Accessories, Dances, AOs, Huds and toys, you can spend a good hour or two, just browsing this immense store and seeing what is on offer.

The Queen at 90

Happy Birthday to Her Royal Highness the Queen, who is 90 years young today.

Her Majesty's accession to the throne was in February 1952 and she was Coroneted in 1953.   Her 64 year reign makes her the longest serving British Monarch of all time, surpassing Queen Victoria's 63 years and 7 months, which ended in 1901.

The celebration of the Queen's Birthday will be held on Thursday 12th of May to Sunday 15th May.
For details see: The British Monarchy Website

Long may Queen Elizabeth II continue to reign.

A hundred thousand new users

We started counting New Residents born into London City a few years ago and not from the very beginning.  So although this is not an all time record, it is a modern day record.

And today we reached a milestone, the 100,000th New Resident in London City.

And here he is!

Thank you JuicyBalls for making the 100,000th new resident a memorable occasion for everyone.
