Because Linden Labs are being such butt heads about people using their name I’ve decided to change the URL of my blog and move it over. My New URL is

the title is “GoSpeed Racer, a Second Life Avatar”

It was a late night indeed as I waited to hear if I had made the cut. I arrived early at event location at 8PM SLT and patiently waited for it to begin:
I also had the pleasure of meeting Keely from Flickr :
After a slight delay we sat down around the stage. At this point the mainland sim we were on filled to capacity! Yikes, now that Havok 4 is out won’t they boost that limit from 40 to something higher?
My poor friend Khitten could not get back in! Wisely it was decided to move to a private island and somehow we all managed to pile into the sim.
Now what happened next was a bit disconcerting to me. They began to go through the applicants alphabetically and give them a thumbs up or thumbs down. Some were publicly questioned on their applications in a manner that made me squirm a little bit. I dunno, maybe it should have been done in private. Of course this is SL and maybe they sought to recreate some of the drama that is present in RL pageants. 
It did add to the tension and excitement for the night.
Did I make it??? YES!!!!!!! Without any additional comment it was announced I was selected! YAY! Oy Vey!, after 3 hours of waiting I was exhausted and had to crash into my warm, soft bed.
Here is the full list of people who made it to the next round: http://missandmisterslebony2008.wordpress.com/
I’d like to give Celebrity Trollop a shoutout! Not only did she look gorgy, but she handled herself very well under scrutiny. A class act!
Also I would like to thank Sezmra Svarog of NORA Skins. She came by earlier in the event to wish me well. Thanks Sez! I really appreciate it! Mauh!

Oh boy! Here we go! The first round of the Miss SL Ebony 2008 is tonight at 9pm SLT. 58 have entered and only 30 will be selected this round. This is the first “legitimate” pageant I have joined (the Simone thing was a farce to begin with) and I have a good feeling about the organizers and participants. I haven’t met a meany or jerk yet.
Wish me luck and if you are online say hello!
