On the weekend of June 14 & 15, SL residents will be given a chance to step back in time to relive the classic American high school prom in a totally immersive setting—set in the middle of 4 islands of over262,144m2, complete with car shop, working classrooms, chalkboards,offices, libraries, gym, locker rooms, shower and lav, and virtually every detail you can think of. This memory lane-invoking high school is built by CaSimone Aquitaine, who owns the Second Life designer store Topaz Square and has a background in engineering in RL. Inciting her inspiration and drive, she recounts the moving story of her friend Marianne Thompson, dearly known as "Mickey", who passed away due to lymphoma, but did not get the chance to attend her high school prom, "I had no clue why this build was so important to me, and in my tears I finally knew there was a purpose to what seemed a state of creative madness."For more details on this event, please contact TigerLily Koi, CaSimone Aquitaine, or Ina Centaur
