The ADPoV shop is coming along nicely and now that I finally have my own land in SL, I’m very happy with the freedom I’ve had in the entire design of the place. QT and I are working on new product to sell in the place (me design and build, and QT makes the tech stuff happen) and I’m starting to enjoy SL again because of this entire project.
here are some snapshots of my new home away from home:

This is a view once you teleport into the area. I wanted it to envoke memories of a pivotal if not laughable time in the Saga. I try to sprinkle my sense of humor throughout the place, and the exterior is no exception to this.

An AT-ST (no, I didn’t build it) was chosen because bortQ had done a cartoon of one with the stickers all over it some time ago for my website when I had first opened the actual swag shop online at zazzle.

This just needed to be done, damnit.
Once you enter the Bunker (I do spend a lot of time in bunkers, don’t I?) you go down a ramp to the shop itself, and with a whoosh the door opens and you enter.

This is the first thing you see. My subtle marketing skill. The ultra hot Twi is none other then our own Niavi.

A look down the left side of the store. The windowed area is the listening room, but more on that later.

The MS Walk marketing/awareness machine churns onwards, even in virtual worlds. By clicking this poster, people are sent to my MS Society donation page. There are a few of these throughout SL put up for me by some super people, such as Drift Monde. In the background you can see ol’ Darth Vader himself pimping away for the ADPoV website. This is also a “click to load a website” type of poster. You click it, and adpov.net loads in your web browser.

Here is the current line of men’s shirts available. Eventually I’m going to try to design some other men’s clothing, but for now, T-shirts are all I got… Besides, T-shirts are manly enough.

The current selection of ladies clothing. Just Ts as well, but we are -very- close to releasing our swimwear line, which is leading us to learn more about how to make other garments as well. Ironiclly the “I like my men dirty” shirt is the best seller in the place. Go fig. QT is one of the models, as are Drift, Niavi, and TrooperFanGirl.

This is a new section for me. The accessories line. Mostly jewelry at this point, but also the custom Sandtrooper backpack I made myself is for sale as well. I really like the way the chokers and collars turned out though a great deal.

New to SL? Then my shop should be the -first- place you go. We give you a FREE shirt, as well as a notecard with tons of super useful info about getting started in SL written by the dutiful QT… Plus we have great big blue, glitter covered SNOOBS, see? What better reason do you need? More on them later.

The aforementioned “Listening Room”. The purpose of this area is to give people a place to hang out and actually listen to all the “A Different Point of View” (ADPoV) segments streamed directly into Second Life.

You can also look over the TeeDee comic strips by bortQ, and the wonderful “Show the Love” pictures sent to me from ladies across the net. And don’t worry boys, they’re all displayed in a slideshow, for hands free enjoyment.

Here’s what you find on 13’s coffee table.

And this little page turner to keep QT-pi running and happy.

And here’s the view back towards the entrance.
I hope to see many, if not all of you swinging by some time. It’s been a lot of fun making this place, and I hope it goes well because QT and I have other plans in the works for other businesses within SL.
One of them was even mentioned in a ADPoV segment a looong time ago.
The grand opening date will be announced here with plenty of time for you all to get SL accounts and be ready for the festivities. Much fun will be had, trust me.

That should be “LMAO!!”
Did I mention that I’m getting a transcription program? My carpal tunnel syndrome demands it. Now the computer can make stupid typos *for* me.

Hey TD! Love your show. How do I find your shop in SL? I tried searching for it and nothing came up. Or has it not launched yet? Thanks.

It’s not open to the general public, but I can always send you an LM for it. Just let me know what your SL name is and I’ll send it out, as well as add you to the ADPoV group if you’d like.
