CN: Rattis and I met on here when
I first started Second Life almost 5
years ago. We both were DJs on here
as well as in real life. We shared a lot
of common interests and developed
a very close friendship. Rattis was
hosting events with sponsors before
him and I became partners, but on a
much smaller scale. I discussed with
him how I loved his work and was interested in doing one of these events
with him. So in Christmas of 2013 we
had our first Christmas bash together.
At that point in time we never would
have expected to be we are today.
It was Second Life and our connection as friends and business partners
that brought him and I closer together. Rattis and I decided to
meet in real life almost 2 ½ years
into our SL partnership. We had
a very close connection after his
first visit to America. We loved
every moment of his 3 month visit. We then decided at that point
that we wanted to take our relationship to the next level. Early
June, 2015 he packed his bags
and made the trek from Australia
to me in the USA. June 13th, 2015
Rattis and I got married in real life.
NVM: Rattis how do you guys
pick what sponsors you want for
a specific event and have there
ever been some sponsors you
perhaps didn’t want to ask because maybe their work was not
representative of the style or
quality you guys want to bring to
your events?
(You can answer this one without
giving the names of the designers)
RN: We like to mix up sponsors
from big name designers to the
small unknowns. For us it’s all
about networking. Sometimes it’s
the small unknowns that actually
make top quality stuff but they
haven’t had the exposure yet to
