Kouse Singh

Kouse Singh - "My real name is Krystal J, and sorry, but that's all you're getting."  - is the proud owner of Kouse's Sanctum. A Second Life resident for over a year and 7 months now already, she joined after watching a story on Second Life on the local news, being highly interested and fascinated.  Although Second Life is the only virtual world she frequents, Kouse dares play the odd MMO.

Actually, any other time period goes too, if it grabs Kouse's fancy at that moment.

Of the lot. But I leave interpretation of my work to the consumers, I stare at my textures too long to be objective.'

When going to Black Swan, her favourite work of art there is the little piggy. Kouse just absolutely loves it, and may (or may not) have been heard squeing with delight upon first seeing it: 'Piglts are just too cute to resist!'  Her favourite quote as it comes to Second Life? '[Loading...]''
