Last month she toured the grid wearing the most exotic styles, and now NWN fashion correspondent Iris Ophelia is taking executive action: later this month, she'll be showing off her favorite business wear for the professionally-minded avatar. (Now that real companies are holding actual job fairs in SL, it's no longer just roleplay.) To model them, she'll be visiting the most spectacular and innovative SL locations for business. Not necessarily sites owned by real world companies, or places that imitate RL business settings-- as long as they're ideal for bottom-line meetings and presentations, or simply settings which complement a sharp suit, we want to know about them. And since this is Second Life, those could include, say, the boardroom on a steampunk airship or the penthouse office in a cyberpunk metropolis.
Suggestions in Comments are welcome, those with SLURLs welcome even more. Iris' itenerary is open until next week.
I recommend the Blue Horizon (new business horizon's office park Blue Horizon/128/128/47) - I took a tour there last week,it's really well done, and a 'virtual office park' kind of blows my mind that it (needs) to exist!
Also, Phil's supermarket ( Food 118, 94, 28) is a pretty neat business concept.

I recommend the giant flowers of BamBam Sachertorte. You can find them in Obscure:
Giant lotus and lily: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Obscure/54/229/46
Giant Dahlias: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Obscure/113/123/96
Flower Pools: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Obscure/39/239/263
Sky Island & Pool: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Obscure/241/28/142
Many of these open and close (touch 'em) and most can change color (find the ladybug inside, touch that) - so you can change them to suit the clothes!

How about some of the educational venues? We, fifty-somethings, can't always run around with our navels exposed "at work!"
Education Island, or Eduisland II, or Info Island, or NMC, and so on.
