KittyKat Jules:\u00a0What does your store sell or what does your business do?
\nPandora Wrigglesworth : Curio Obscura sells a wide variety of strange and wonderful things including unique vehicles, strange hairstyles, fun things to sit on, outlandish avatars, teleporters, gadgets, and more. Some of my best known works are the Anywhere Doors (the animated teleporter), the Oui Coupe (the smallest vehicle in SL), Clockwork Automaton Skins, the Whiteboard Typing Override, the Deluxe Bunnygirl Outfit, and the Rococo Fantastico (the largest hairstyle in all of SL).<\/p>\n
KittyKat Jules:\u00a0 How long has your business been established?
\nPandora Wrigglesworth : Since January 2008
\nA Special note from the creator:
\n\u201cVisitors to Curio Obscura should please try to tolerate the broken remains of the other three shops which I crushed to make room for my own. While passing through the rubble, please watch your step as all of the weaponry on the front of the shop is interactive so a careless visitor might get crushed by a giant hammer, squeezed by a metal claw, or ground up in the grinder. (No, really, go try them. They’re hilarious.)<\/p>\n
KittyKat Jules:\u00a0 What made you want to start up your business and what drives you to keep going?
\nPandora Wrigglesworth : I honestly don’t know how to answer a question like that. It’s just what I do.<\/p>\n
KittyKat Jules:\u00a0 Any exciting happenings or new items you’d like to show off for us?
\nPandora Wrigglesworth:\u00a0 I recently released the Marionette Control and Strings. It’s the first set of marionette strings in SL that uses no particles and no scripts at all. The whole thing is fully mesh-based and the string bend and move with your movements very fluidly. If you come to the shop, you can try out a free demo.<\/p>\n

I have started a new line of diary-style typing overrides. The first three are the Diary of a Princess, Diary of a Vampire, and the Journal of a Superhero. With one of these, when you type, you will open a diary and start writing a new entry. The text for the entry changes every time and may include the names of nearby avatars, yourself, and the region in which you are standing.<\/p>\n

KittyKat Jules:\u00a0 What would your advice be to the new business owner in Second Life?
\nPandora Wrigglesworth : There are hundreds of other businesses in Second Life. If you want to be noticed, be uniquely yourself.<\/p>\n
KittyKat Jules:\u00a0How did you originally get started in Second Life?
\nPandora Wrigglesworth : I was bored and then I saw that Second Life episode of “CSI: NY” and I thought, “Hey, I can do that.”<\/p>\n
KittyKat Jules:\u00a0 Any hobbies besides running your business?\u00a0 What do you like to do in SL?
\nPandora Wrigglesworth :\u00a0 To be honest, I rarely do anything in SL except make new things. I’m not terribly social.<\/p>\n
