Celebrity Second Life User Drew Carey Tweets His Appreciation for One of Our Favorite Metaverse Designers

Janine "Iris Ophelia" Hawkins' ongoing review of gaming and virtual world style

Drew Carey loves Second Life, and Second Life loves artist and designer Nylon Pinkney, so it's only natural that Drew Carey loves Nylon Pinkney too, right?

Carey is one of SL's most vocal celebrity fans, and this week he made a couple tweets that caught a lot of Second Life users' attention... Including Nylon herself. Take a look:

If anyone knows Nylon Pinkney in Second Life tell her she has a huge fan :) (and to please make more men’s clothes) :D

Also looking for the music stream Nylon Pinkney uses at Tableau in Second Life. Love it. Thanks! #SecondLife

Seems like Carey's also a fan of Nylon's taste in music. Of course we're big fans of Nylon here at NWN, too. Tableau, a shopping and hangout location she co-founded along with her twin sister Polyester Partridge and their friends, is one of the most iconic and long-standing sims on the grid. It's also safe to say she's one of the designers I write about most often, not just for her Second Life work with brands like Nylon Outfitters, Ooh Lala, The Wrigglesworths and Paper Couture, but for her awesome offline stuff as well.

If you want to see wat all the fuss is about, swing by Tableau for yourself [SLURL].

I wonder how many famous people we've unknowingly run into in SL. I never think about that

[Amanda Dallin]

I wonder how many non-SL people now think Drew Carey wears pink nylons?

Tableau is one of the shopping sims I visit from time to time, since years already. Bought some cool stuffz there in the past. But not so much anymore. Anyway, who cares what famous celeb is behind any given avatar? Who knows, I could be like totally famous in RL. That's why I spend so much time in SL, right?

Love love Nylon's stuff, have since I landed in 2008. She also created some of the old starter avs in your inventory, gamer guy/girl; some old old ones too no longer included.

Her stuff is fun and iconic and it stands out from the rest even now. I definitely understand Mr. Carey's love.
