Some time ago, early September to be more exact, I had scribbled down a little entry about the Luna Galleria, which had been at the time my first real “shopping experience” in Second Life. I must admit, I haven’t really come back there a lot since then, not due to lack of interest, but mostly because I’m usually too caught up within my own activities that it doesn’t leave much room for shopping time – these days, when I want to buy something, it’s after having seen it advertised by its designer (such as on the forums), and thus I always know where to find it; no need for much window-shopping.

This very morning, I was browsing the SL forums, and noticed an update in the “Announcements” thread regarding the Luna/Busy Ben’s lottery. I had signed in the associated thread for participants, the week before, but never really expecting to win anything (I’m not that lucky when it comes to contests/draws/lotteries). Yet, to my surprise, luck was on my side this time. I will soon be the proud owner of a little prim-space in Luna. Not sure exactly of what it entails, but it’s just nice to have won something for a change. And Luna still remains a place dear to my heart, as a fond memory, because I remember I liked to hang there, at the fountain.

I have no idea whether it is (still) a trendish shopping location, but I just don’t care. It sounds fun and nice no matter what.
