The Zindra unZipped Expo is the first real attempt to promote all that Zindra has to offer. A few months back Linden Labs moved all content they felt was Adult to a new Continent Called Zindra. This move, for many businesses, has been hard due to the fact you have to be Age Verified to access Zindra. Last month I did a write-up on how to Age Verified , it is easy,  It in no way puts you at risk.  It is all done through a third party verification provider.  But people doing the verification process have been slow. Well, if you have not Age Verified and like to have the freedom as an Adult now is the time.  The Zindra unZipped Expo looks to be a great way to find all the Adult areas SL has to offer.  Below is all the info on the event and the cool ZINDRA Flag Contest. I hope to see you there. Stop by the BDSMNews booth and say hi.

Welcome to the Zindra unZipped Expo on the ADULT Zindra continent between April 23 and 29!

Zindra unZipped will showcase the best this exciting, beautiful, an for many unknown continent has to offer.

There will be a wide range of events spanning from the Zindra Flag Competition with a L$ 10,000 award, to shows in the Red Light area, hunt and exhibitions.

Zindra is ADULT territory 

-- meaning you have more freedom to express yourself, indulge and experience more than anywhere else in SecondLife.

Zindra is BIG territory

-- it consist of 348 full sims. The expo spans 3 full sims.

Zindra is HUNT territory

 -- you can hunt all sorts here, but we particularly recommend the Zindra Swag Bag Hunt.  Check the hunt info sign by the main landing for details.

Zindra unZipped Expo will offer you a rich and varied program with elements such as merchant stalls showcasing adult content and items, special offers, exhibits from adult clubs, roleplay groups and organizations, information on Zindra land purchase and rental plus Zindra as a destination. 

To visit Zindra and Zindra unZipped, you may have to account verify if you have not already done so.
