2014 ART: VIDEO: The Drax Files: World Makers: interior design magazine in the digital universe

The Drax Files: World Makers: 
interior design magazine in the digital universe
Scroll down for News and Notes (including articles about new TOS)
"Second Life helped me discover what I am good at and what I would like to pursue" says 23-year old Edi Clarity, who runs a successful interior design magazine in the digital universe: "I am not a creator, but I create spaces that hopefully inspire people!"

Edi also met his husband, who hails from Chicago, in SL in 2009 and the two have been together ever since.  The power and agency over identity and the possibility to reveal the true self at one's own pace contributed - according to Edi - to a stable relationship that has been lasting this many years.

Adds Edi: "SL taught be that I can be who I really am, no matter what!"
No doubt, that he [and Rico] can be proud of who they are, in-world or in physical reality.
