And the second winner in this 3-week celebration of Mer Betta's 3rd anniversary is Clifton Monday, who purchased Halimede on August 22. Congratulations, Clifton!
The third winner will be selected on Aug 30.
And here's another contest:
Mer Betta has a full-page ad in the latest Second Style Magazine issue #38. Same contest rules as the machinima with a few differences: You must leave a comment in this blog entry with the following information before August 31 at 11:59pm:
* the name of the tail I was wearing in that ad
* the page number where you found it
* your SL name
The comments in the blog are moderated. So, to make it fair, I won't approve the comments for publication until Sept 1.
Again on September 1st, I will pick three names randomly and the winners will get their choice of any Series 3 add-on pack (Intimates pack, Mutation Alpha pack, or Merkini+Bettakini pack).
That's a total of six winners on that day, for a total of 9 winners in this three-week long celebration.
Good luck!

Mmmmmmmmm... Mer Betta!
Mer Betta's very first machinima ad!
This has been in the works for a long time and I've set it aside many times in favor of other projects. But it's finally done and released! It's not as smooth as I hoped it would be, but I think it's a decent first-try effort.
I'm very very excited about this machinima. Not only because it's the first machinima I've ever made, but also because of its historical significance.
It's a collaboration with my dear and long-time musician friend, Capos Calderwood (Alex Whitmore irl). You can learn more about him at www.alexwhitmore.com. I've known Capos since January 2007 and have been going to most of his shows since.
This song, which we titled "Mermaid Fantasy," is a re-recording of his original song "Spanish Fantasy" with new lyrics, and Mer Betta has exclusive rights to this mermaid version. I have an agreement with Capos, so I'm setting up a vendor to sell the full-length version for personal non-public use, which is the same as the typical music rights.
The 30-second ad will be aired in future MODA Fashion Spotlight shows that are taped by Treet.tv, due to the generosity of Jujudoll Dancer, CEO of MODA.
I'll have to check my facts, but I'm almost sure we hit a lot of firsts with this project:
* The first theme song to be written and recorded exclusively for a commercial business inside Second Life.
* The first song targeted towards and about a specific roleplaying group/species in Second Life (or maybe even in any MMORPG).
* The first niche machinima ad to be aired on a mainstream television show.
And Mer Betta is three years old!
This month is Mer Betta's birthday, celebrating three years in Second Life. No new tails this month, unfortunately, because of other projects and commitments. But, yes, there is a sale!
And I'm making up the details as I write this. So, here it is:
* The sale will be for three weeks, starting today.
* During those three weeks, one of the Series 3 tails (base pack only) will be on sale for 333L (regular price is 650L). Every couple of days or so, I will change up which tail is on sale for that day. If I make a mistake, I might have two on sale on the same day. If I go crazy, I might have three, who knows. I will not announce which tail it is or when I change it. You'll just have to swing by and check.
* At the end of each week (Sunday midnight), I will look through the sales for that week and randomly pick a winner, who will get a rebate of 300L (effectively getting their new tail for just 33L). I will announce the winner each week through the group notices.
* The sale will only be at the main store.
And here's a contest: View the machinima on YouTube.com and leave a comment with the name of the tail that I'm wearing and your SL name before August 31 at 11:59pm.
