I went around my friend and neighbor Thom's whole void sim "next door"...
And smoothly glided by Vittorio's Egyptian obelisks on the point of our island...
Before chilling for a while in my bikini and T-shirt from the old Roma "Ars Amatoria" Sex in Ancient Rome exhibit T-shirt. Hee! That was fun!
Stopped to marvel at this tower at the White Lebed Visual Thoughts exhibit...
And looked at the dioramas at the PrimTings exhibit, which was really fantastic...
I also stopped by the Luskwood exhibit, which was interesting to me as a builder as it discussed the evolution of the look and builds of their sims...
The SL5B Dwell sim seems to have a theme of RL communities and cultures within SL such as this exhibit by the SL Portuguese speaking community...
And this exhibit about Florida...watch the gators!!
Dia has created a barber shop there. I love the "No Sweet Mullet-y Goodness" pic on the wall! I'm coming back for a trim on Monday so you will want to check here again then to see what happens...
Dia invited Des (the Guvnah of Caledon) over and before we knew it the barbershop had filled up with the likes of builder and texturer Persephone Gallindo, the head of Darkmere--Lucifer Baphomet, Caledon's first steward Khashei Steinbeck and Jun Karoda, who is sitting off to the side in this pic. We teased Des that his hair was getting a little long in the front and maybe a mohawk would suit him. There are also a few bowls in the corner that Dia uses for "extra-special" haircuts...
For those of you who question the connections we make in this world...think about this one simple fact: There was a time when I thought I'd never see him again. Not because he would've chosen to leave, or over a fight, but because I--nor anyone else--would have seen him anymore inworld or in RL. So when I saw him standing there, I didn't know whether to cry or what. All I could do was hug him over and over again...
I laughed as he put on (and kept on) a clown nose...
We didn't talk about the accident beyond how much longer he'd be in (weeks yet) and how unattractive one of his nurses is ("A face only the bedpan would love"). We talked about fun things like cute guys and the land and the other neighbors throwing huge parties. Vittorio was using Caspian's computer and teasing him mercilessly, making him turn red in RL...
You all just don't know how utterly relieved I am to see this face in my life inworld once again. Get well soon babes!
Came across Crap near his podcasting exhibit in the SL5B Hippos sim and his ankles were toast! NUMMY!
Partied with a huge group of mostly Japanese residents to a Japanese band named Yanagi...
And took a look at some art...
Which included this huge pink rabbit that rivals Lady Amber's Harvey! Lunar and I just...couldn't...look...away...
What I found were two sims filled with fun and whimsy...
And lots of great rides and things to do!
I was even called "adowable"...
As far as I'm concerned, a whole culture's been maligned due to a few individuals. I could sit here and argue sides, but I'm not. The thing to remember is that these are not kids in RL and RL kids should not be encouraged to be in SL at all. Look, all that I know is what I saw, and what I saw were folks enjoying themselves and recapturing a time period in their lives when fun and whimsy were your most important goals. If you can't understand that very basic concept...well...
Although celebrated in other parts of the world, it is considered one of the most important days in the Voodoo/Vodun religion, and the St John's Eve rituals of New Orleans' voodoo queen Marie Laveau used to draw a crowd of thousands. No drumming and crowds of thousands at this gathering...we just danced...
And turned to look up at our beautiful Tower and sighed, knowing that it had to come down...
And come down it did! Kheph and I hit the "trigger" and pieces went flying everywhere! Crap Mariner filmed it and Madcow--as carrotdino--came to watch...
We even convinced Madcow to demolish his as well, and creature pieces fell from the sky...
...And onto the psychedelia of the grounds below. What once was is now no more, but it was a great run while it lasted.
The Rezzable Garden of NPIRL Delights officially closed tonight. I stood on my skyplat reading and responding as the group and Gardeners shared their thoughts and spread the love. I know that for me--and I think I can speak for Kheph too on this one--my sending Bettina the proposal for the Tower was one of the best things I've done while in SL.
I had a really great time dancing with Baube and the Laval Sisters worked it! Here we are being joined by another one of her frat brothers, Kaino Hotshot...
A view of DB BAiley's "Purgatorio"...
And the cuteness that is Yoa Ogee's "Happy Humans!"...
There was something calming about Seifert Surface's "The Sky is Falling"...
Good thing I'm wearing red already at The Messenger's "Narrow Path to Infinity"...
Looking at Madcow's big toe at "Heterotroph"...
On a sleep orbital at Poulet Koenkamp's "Zero Gravity Garden"...
So many more I could post. Take a look at my flickr Garden set for more...
Later I saw some folks setting off fireworks and thought I'd see. They recently renovated the tree platforms here and it looks really nice...
We rode the log flume, which was so much fun we did it twice...
And one of the Scrambler rides. Nothing like having it in mouselook to make one want to hurk in RL...
And this ride was no better...
We had so much fun we were hungry. Wait...Baube, did you wash your hands???
