NWN IN '04: ARTISANS AND ENTREPENEURS

Going through my entries for this year, I notice some coverage on land speculators, casino moguls, and fashion designers who make a tidy profit in Linden Dollars from their trade (not to mention those who convert those dollars into actual cash)-- but not much else on all the scripters, architects, vehicle engineers, and other tradespeople who keep the in-world content flowing. So I'll make my first resolution a vow to give them more coverage, in 2005.

Meanwhile, if you wanna read about fashion designers, you've come to the right place...

- MARKET FORCES
(A brief, illusory disruption in the Linden Dollar's market value creates a great springboard for interviewing the world's most successful entrepeneurs, real estate brokers, and fashion mavens.)

- POST-WAR RECONSTRUCTION
(War hero, abroad; unemployed vet, at home; casino and real estate tycoon, in-world.)

The New World Notes Fashion Expo was my attempt to give the Second Life fashion industry and some of its top designers their due...
