Chloe: When did you start on SL and how did you stumble upon it?
Orion: October of 2006. I found an article on SL in a business magazine at work and decided to check it out.
Chloe: Tell us what you do here in SL...
Orion: Owner of House of O and Needful Thingz, as well as Master and Trainer.
Chloe: How did you get started with that?
Orion: Seems like every relationship I was getting into in SL, the girls would ask Me to Master them even before I took on the role, so it came naturally. Clubs I started building within a few months of being in SL, have ran quite a few, among them Club Exotica and Deviant Station. Have also been a Manager over at Escort Alliance for quite some time. My store, Needful Thingz, came when I decided to create furniture with changeable textures.
Chloe: What advice can you give to our readers who are also interested in becoming successful in your field? Were there mistakes you made that they can avoid? Something or things you did *right* that catapulted your success?
Orion: First and foremost, NEVER go into the club businesses for the purpose of making a profit, this is why clubs come and go. Second keep a small staff not including dancers. Too many chiefs and not enough indians is always a club killer.
If you are going into business, create a store based on something you love to build or make, and keep with a certain theme; a variety tends to gives your customers mixed ideas or too much to look through.
Chloe: Approximately how much $L did it cost for you to start your business, and how long did it take for you to turn a profit?
Orion: Aside from the land I purchased, none whatsoever. I built My own store and club. Spent maybe 4k total on dance poles and tip jars, perhaps 2k on dungeon equipment. The store I spent maybe 1k on vendors to put My things in,the rest I built.

Orion: Yes it does, I designed the shape and was lucky enough to get a close skin, maybe dont have the 6 pack but close to being that tone.
Chloe: How do you feel about romantic relationships in SL? Have you had any of significance? Crossed over to RL at all? Horror stories?
Orion: Heh, they all end up horror stories. SL is a bad place to get rmotionally involved because people say things and do things they would never do in RL. It has been My experience that though they dont mean to be this way, when it comes to the actual RL of it, most people will shirk away. Perhaps out fo fear, who knows. It is sad where we live in a day and age where people are even afraid to give out phone numbers, whereas a decade ago, it was our main way of communicating.
Chloe: Biggest jerk, liar, or psycho you have encountered so far? Do tell!
Orion: bloodjewel Babii.
After 3 months of her being My slave and talking rl on the phone, I wasted $1000 rl money to go visit her. Not only did she NOT show up, but she was in sl joking to her friends about it.....waste of a trip, time, energy, emotions, and money.
Chloe: Do you have a residence here in SL? Do you rent or own?
Orion: Own of course, rent is waste of money when you can resell.
Chloe: Mind telling us what sim it's on?
Orion: Tridens
Chloe: Where did you get your house? Is it a prefab or did you have it built? If so by who? Mind sharing a pic?
Orion: Arwen makes the best houses!!! ~*AE Industries*~

Orion:

Orion: No
Chloe: Funniest thing you've seen so far:
Orion: teenies, AV's no bigger than your sl finger.
Chloe: Lamest pick-up line that's been tossed your way:
Orion: on first meeting...."can I be your slave?"
Chloe: To "Mute" or not to "Mute"? What makes you cut someone off like that? Orion: Never mute...I am strong enough to handle what anyone else can say. It's a cowardly act to mute if you ask Me.
