Hi friends, I would just like to draw your attention to a very talented Koinup member, CynU. I saw her work on flickr and only just recently realised she is here as well. Not only is she a fantastic artist  (see http://www.koinup.com/CynUltsch/works/ ) but she also makes wonderful poses, her store is at http://slurl.com/secondlife/Golden%20Las%20Vegas/126/116/23 (and no I am not on commission...damnit... hahaha). A truly multitalnted lady. Anyway the reason that I am posting this blog is that apart from her last piece which blew me away http://www.koinup.com/CynUltsch/work/66649/ I am not sure that her work has been seen by as many people as it should be seen by. (if that makes sense?) lol And also everyone knows by now I am a gobby cow and like to get on my soap box from time to time hehe.

Thanks chums xx

http://www.koinup.com/sim/Orkney/
http://www.koinup.com/sim/akashic/
http://www.koinup.com/sim/Tompson/

Have a look there or browse others sims here:
http://www.koinup.com/sims/in-second-life/

and then share postcards / or... btw....try to discover new place and be the first to share the slurls on Koinup

Discoverers will be featured on the "place front pag"e and have a lot of visibility!
