Elton and Edloe

Today was a special treat for two reasons! After an 8 month absence Star Yue returned to SL to perform at an SL Relay For Life event. Star Yue is a very talented Elton John tribute artist who can play and sing just like Elton John. Apart from lacking an English accent his ability to sing like Sir Elton is uncanny.

Here’s Star puckering up with Amanda Steadham, his in world manager and she also coordinates numerous SL RFL events.

Rav got a little some-something too. LOL, it was a kissing booth so he did do it for charity :-P

After Star Yue finished his set I fianlly made it over to Edloe for the SL Bloggers party hosted by Crap Mariner

Picked my Portrait

Thanks everyone for your input! After careful consideration I decided on the second one:
My official Portrait

Thanks Loki!

I owe a lot to Sezmra Svarog for how I look. She makes the best ebony skins in all of Second Life. Sezmra is moving from her private island of Sonata to a new location. If you are looking to buy a used island then please read her post here. Her new store is already open and can be found here: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Glenn/144/37/28
Nora's new store

Ha ha! I finally get one of those funny R and TM doo-hickies to wear (Thanks Crap)!
Trademark this!

Last night I was supposed to DJ at the Extra Innings Pub but SL decided to crap out big time. Darn those asshat servers! My 2 hour set was only 40 minutes since I could not log in at all. Fortunately Rav got on the mic and explained the troubles and even read from the LL blog. Oh well, how soon we forget the bad ole days of 2006 when the grid would close a lot.

I recently decided to have my portrait done and picked Loki Popinjay to do it. He impressed me with is picture he took of me last month.

We went to Rezzable Aloha and he snapped a bevy of pictures with me by the water. Here are the two I thought were the best, but I need to decide on just one:

September Rain

The other night I had the pleasure to see Heath Elvehjem perform at the September Rain sim. Oh my was I ever surprised! Tsk Tsk Alexandria , you should have invited me over sooner :) . The sim is a tropical paradise with large trees, glorious waterfalls and lots of nature sounds. You arrive near the west side of the island and can either go into the small village or go towards the main valley where the artist perform.

Here is the village :
September Rain 1

This is one of the many waterfalls and pools:
September Rain 2

This is the main valley. Uggg I just hate it when dance balls and pose can’t be hidden by the “/1 hide” or similar command.
September Rain 3

Ooooh, whats this?!?!
September Rain 4
A cave!
September Rain 5
Unbelievable!
September Rain 6

Say Hello to my “little” friend!

Friendship is…

Hanging out (literally :P ) with someone just as wacky as you are.
Diana Allandale and GoSpeed Racer at Hukilau

Being able to act up and be silly, and no one rebukes you.
Dancing for my dinner

Having somebody cover your back 100%.
A smile for a friend

Being accepted for who you are.

Wild Girl stalks the beaches looking for Louis Landon :)

After posting my article on the SS Galaxy I received a notice from Marta Jamberoo about an Easter Egg hunt on her island. Marta makes a lot of silks and “warrior” girl outfits and one of the eggs contained a very skimpy, sexy native warrior girl outfit. I put it on and was instantly motivated to go out and shoot a few shots. First off was Laguna Beach:
On the beach 1
On the beach 3

The place was filled with creepy horndogs who kept IMing me”hey baby, you are sexy”…. blehhh.

I recalled in my travels that Louis Landon aka Louis Volare had his own sim, right next to Hathead Rickenbacker. I TPed over and decided on the Moroccan style villa.
Landon Sim 1
Much nicer. No crowds and a nice landscape.
Landon Sim 2
Landon Sim 3

I recall that at Marta’s store I did find one of the special golden eggs. I am guessing it is a silk outfit but I am little afraid to wear it. It is all prims! They’ll take a bit of work to cover me and lordy, you do not TP or log out with those on. When you arrive at a place your prims can often be the last things to rez!!!

SS Galaxy - It’s HUGE!!!

OK, you’ve been there before. The dance floor at the stern is legendary in its size and grandeur. But have you truly realized how big this ship is? I decided to explore some more to get a better idea on its scope.

OK, it;s THAT Big. It even dwarfs the little corvette parked next to it.

Well I was supposed to DJ at Clockwork but the tuner was missing I could not change the media stream so I went over to Edloe and joined Crap Mariner in his sick little game called “Who Knows This Crap?”

It was a hoot! Thankfully I wasn’t too stoopid and I did not get orbited! YAY!
