Click here to visit The Last Forever, a new sim inspired by the small iconic town of Marfa, Texas. Inspired by a tip from master metaverse explorer Pepa Cometa, I just teleported there myself and was duly impressed. Rather than try photograph it myself, though, here's some pics of the place from Melusina Parkin. If they look eerily familiar, there's a good reason for that: Marfa was a backdrop in contemporary classic films No Country for Old Men and There Will Be Blood. In recent years the town has has attracted a rather large community of artists and hipsters, especially from nearby Austin, so I fully expect to see Second Life imitate real life with frequent virtual fashion and art photos from The Last Forever.
BTW I will totally blog any halfway decent No Country for Old Men cosplay, friend-o.
OK, if you're talking classic movies in Marfa, how can you leave out Giant? That film is such a classic it inspired a film about the aftermath called Come Back to the Five and Dime, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean. Then there was this documentary called Children of Giant about the legacy of the film in Marfa.

I'm happy you like the place and you shared it because it's beautiful and really special. :)
(By the way, I'm not a master for anything, I just enjoy exploring and sharing what I like, you are too kind ;) )
