Who is Sol Columbia?
In Second Life I operate a clothing store called Luminosity and create mostly upscale casual styles for women with an occasional foray into other things. I’ve been in Second Life since September of 2005, but I’m still relatively new to clothing design, having started back in August of 2006. Prior to that I had made my second living as a scripter, primarily writing scripts for hair and fashion designers to make their work easier, along with an array of gadgets, vendor scripts, particle effects and miscellaneous stuff. I switched to clothing design to do something different and have been having much more fun ever since.
In the past, I’ve played most of the major MMOs such as EverQuest, World of Warcraft, City of Heroes, etc. and really enjoy spending time online. These eventually led me to Second Life and I haven’t logged a day in a MMO since, although I may again at some point.
What else? Mostly I like to keep my virtual life separate from my real life, although sometimes it feels like the virtual is taking over. I have degrees in Mathematics and Psychology and live and work as a DBA/programmer in Portland, Oregon.
There is no life I know to compare with pure imagination. Living there you’ll be free if you truly wish to be– Willy Wonka
