FIFTH AVENUE, New York City known for shopping and parades...is in the news this weekend for being the 'home' of Versu Richelieu, a virtual worlds builder from Millions Of Us (www.millionsofus.com) who is 'living her digital life' in public for 72 hours in a window at 39th & 5th courtesy of Intel(R) and Datavision's store at that locale. 
And, yes, Versu is a woman-- we always knew that the world was created by a SHE -- didn't we?
See that wording on the left in blue--That's how the Youtube.com video of this guerrila marketing/performance art project by Versu opening screen reads..

Check out this window to her world via the website set up for just that: nyclivewindow.com.

Versu (her name in www.secondlife.com is eating, sleeping and living in the store window-- and her exploits are being carried via webcam and video feeds from Second Life to the rest of us out in RL (real life).
