Burning Times

Hello people,
Well.. the cat is buried .. found a really nice spot, so that is dealt with.
I am soothing my through various losses lately somewhat broken emotional self by trying to find some new areas of SL that I can explore.. and what may be better for this quest than the Burning Life Festival! It is close to its end... so .. go soon.. but I can tell you... it's worth it.
You can find builds and set-ups of various different groups and organizations on a vast area of 22 SIMs. There is so much creativity and talent to be seen there.. just as a lot of great humour and serious weirdness. just teleport in.. which will probably take you to Center Camp .. and use the Map or your feet or wings or whatever to take you around the place! You will see all kinds of great, weird or simply breathtaking builds.
I took some pictures.. only in the very close vicinity of Center Camp.. go and look yourself to get a real impression!

You can find some good old family entertainment

Odd music machines

artistic prim arrangements

Displays that deal with environmental and political topics

shiny people posing on a train

Marshmallows taking hostages

and the grueseome results of attacking killer tomatos!

Well, this is just a very small amount of what can be found.. so come and look! Explore! Trust me on this one!

RIP

I have to solemnly announce the passing away of one of my fluffy roommates. She was a lively, talkative six year old cat, streetsmart and with the biggest green eyes you can imagine. She died by euthanasia this morning due to the uncurable suffering caused by an undisclosed obscure disease which caused her to be excessively anemic, puke all over the place and stop eating and drinking about 4 days ago. I am very sad, and don't feel like writing funny things right now.
Burial will be in a very private setting tomorrow in the countryside. She will get a nice restign place at the edge of the forest where she can look over the land.

Greetings

Hey people..
I will not be as elaborate as you might expect from me today, the reason is that I am typocapped... the cat bit me. My middle finger swell to double its size overnight, the family doctor sent me to a surgeon right away and now I am sitting here with a fixed middle finger in a short time cast... so big that I can write whole sentences with one stroke of the keyboard. Unfortunately they would look like this: rfujrt üöopei pasdfui. Meaning is rather low... so I have to go back to ancient times and type with less fingers, which takes ages. So... on to the topic: I took part in the audience of a
SLCN live TV show: Meta-Makeover. As an interior designer I do follow that show and liked the idea to have a look at the live thing. The current one is not the most exciting, since they talk about the building of their own studio, but it is spiced up by the fact that I can be seen in the audience from time to time..*G* just look for the wild red hair. If you go to the SLCN website you can watch the show.
SLCN is.. if you don't know it yet - an in-world TV program with a lot of interesting programming. You can pick up a free TV to watch it at Northpoint or get one on SLExchange. If you want to check it out you can also have a peek at the one I just put up at Arthur's Bar & Cafe. I set it to the regular live channel, you might be able to change channels if you want.
I also spent some money at pillow talk, one of the better places for poses... and bought a few really relaxed sit poses. I will add them to my furniture on sale over time, and of course beautify the old couches at Arthur's with them.

should you be interested in having nice pictures made of yourself: On the roof of the Rimutaka Park shop you can find a N30 Photostudio which you can use. The modeling table is equipped with a lot of nice poses. IM me if you need male poses... Iwill put them out then. I can also take pictures for you and photoshop them a little... for a small fee - of course. If you want to pay me in natural goods .. that can be negotiated.. *G
Wow...such a lot of text with only 8 fingers. I am amazed myself...

PS: I will add links later... finger is complaining. SLURL doesn't work for me anyway at the moment.... Does anyone else have that problem? Is there something I can do?

slow times

Hello people, I am not coming forward as much as I wish with this blog, which mainly has to do with the fact that I don't have too many interesting things going on in my second life right now. I am continuing to try and get Arthur's Bar & Cafe running, most of all by hanging out there myself (which hopefully draws in people when they see me there shaking my little butt..) and by trying to make the place interesting by keeping up the contest business.. at the moment there is a poetry contest going on - use all four words provided (bishop, puppy, maroon, fear) in a 4-liner... we already have a bunch of contestants and most of them provided really creative entries, so don't hesitate to go and have a look. The contest will run until October 3rd, noon CET, so you still have a chance. Or just go and vote.... the poets will be happy!

The Stingray main shop is slowly growing, besides creating a whole bunch of recliner chairs in cutsie colours I am still continuing to make new carpets and decorative items.
The Gallery received a whole new series of abstract paintings which are probably more decorative than artistic in nature, but those who know me understand that I never draw the line there too strictly anyway.
Kirani acessories is in the process of bringing out glasses in 5 colours, with small shiny pearl as a decorative element.
So piece by piece I am enlarging the amount of goodies... and don't forget the 4 lucky chairs that can be found in Rimutaka park and in the Stingray dependance in Bay City... some of what I consider not of use for me at the moment may even make its way into the Dumpster next to the Bay City shop, ready for diving.
After giving it some thought I decided to keep the small branch shop in Crack Monkey Cove, at the House of Divaz, mainly because the little mall there has by now acquired several high quality shops for interior decoration into which my products fit very well. I am a great supporter of branched malls, since it makes shopping life so much easier. If you have good LMs to branched areas (meaning... all shops sell items of a related nature...) please tell me so .. I would be happy to explore (and recommend, if they are worth it.)
On a personal note I have treated myself to two new skins, one of them massively freckled (as you can see on the accompanying picture...) and - remarkably - red-eyebrowed. Which is a sure rarity. I had to look around quite some time for a good red-head skin. This one certainly is (*CS* Charmed Skin Auburn). The other one is a photorealistic skin which is not as suited for photos as my other skins, but which has some amazing details, including moles in just the right places (Estelle Pale, by Insolence). Additionally it came with a shape I actually tried and then tweaked to suit me.. I do think the result is nice.. if maybe a little more conventional than I used to. I soothe myself by wearing the old shapes from time to time and even hanging out in my plus size shape sometime.. which goes amazingly well with both skins and made me think that maybe I should opt for a side-career as a plus size model (for which there is a market, which a little effort in search and Google will tell you.. Not all of SL is full of Bling Bimbos with wasp-waists.. *G*)

Well.. I will continue tinkering - and should I come up with interesting things - I will certainly inform you here.. *G*
