I have been having a blast being involved in The L Word Island project in Second Life. It is a really interesting project that I think is the perfect proof of concept for how an entertainment property can work with a virtual space to build and support actual community. To be fair, The L Word is a special case, and not many television programs can boast such a lively, eager ( and downright demanding!) fanbase.
This is a photo taken at a Starlette Sunday party held in The L Word Island in Second Life.
You can see the avatars getting down (one of the most popular activities in SL is dancing, because it's actually really funny to watch) in front of a video screen with a live feed from a parallel real live dance party

And this is a picture of Wanda, the super cool host of the Starlette Sunday party dancing for the friends in SL at Orchid Lounge in NYC.
I have been very impressed with the entire Electric Sheep Company crew but the ladies of Electric Sheep really, rocked this special event. With camcorders and cables and laptops in tow and looking totally glamorous, in their classy evening ware, they managed to keep a live feed running from the club into SL 'till the wee hours of the morning.
