Last week’s Sweethearts Jazz Club shopping plaza featured vendor was
Jewelry by Jake. The ever so charming
Tjake Kearny let me take a peek into his Second Life.
His human self is Italian born but has been transplanted to
the USA. He said “I LOVE football! WATCH EVERY GAME... and yes MY GIANTS are
going to take it all the way this year!” He came to Second Life with a very
beautiful lady he met from another game.
It was nothing like SL but that is what brought them both here.
I asked him how he got into the SL jewelry design business
and he said “When I began in SL.. it was quite a while ago.. we were allowed to
gamble.. camping paid a lot more than it does now.. but unfortunately I talk a
lot!.. and since I was not making a great living, Sommes told me to go out
there and get a job!.. Like real avi's.. I'm kidding!.. Actually Sommes was the
inspiration behind me beginning with jewelry design. I began very small.. Earrings.. necklaces.. bracelets.. and umm.. wait a second that is exactly what
I do now...”
