Thank You, Everyone!

I wholeheartedly support this message that was posted on Google+ by my hubby Tomais today!

Thank you to our friends  Kip Ashbourne and +Chaz Longstaff of Blue Balls for donating the party favors. You guys are awesome!

Thank you to my dear brother +JJ Goodman for the wonderful pictures from the party and to our friend +Lee McKay for helping with the lighting.

Thank you also to our friends Rylan Sirnah for supplying great entertainment for two hours and to Nikolai Warden for giving everyone at the party a fish fetish for life (Yeah, yeah, I actually do know that dolphins are mammals even though they live in the sea...)

Finally but not least, thank you so much to all the generous donors and to the wonderful and imaginative guests! I love you guys, thank you so much for helping out. I transferred USD 145.17 to the +Ali Forney Center on behalf of Tomais and Dej.

Party pictures will not be posted until tomorrow.

R.I.P. Avacar Bluestar

This morning when I opened my email, I received the extremely sad news, in an offline group notice from SecondLife, that my friend Avacar Bluestar has passed away,

It brings me great sadness to tell you all this. But as of Friday the 14th  Avacar passed away in rl  dued to complications from heart surgery.  He will be missed by all and even more so by me.  I have shared 2 and half years with this man in sl.

My thoughts and deepest sympathy go to Ricogenu, Avacar's longtime partner in SecondLife, and to Avacar's families and friends in both lives.

Rest in peace, Avacar, with the certain knowledge that you were loved by many in both our worlds.

The Transfer of Donations from the Rezday Bash

For reasons that will become apparent by my next post I will not blog much today.

However, I wished to report on the transfer of the donations to the Ali Forney Center that were made at the Dej & Tomais Rezday Bash without delay.

The guests at the party were extremely generous and the final amount of the donations were the fabulous sum of L$36.000.

I got the conversion rate from L$ to US$ on the SecondLife website.

That exact amount was then immediately, on behalf of the rezday boys, donated to the Ali Forney Center on it's website after which I received the following receipt (I have redacted my first life name and exact address).

Reminder: Duo Rezday Bash Starts at 1 PM SLT

Your personal cryopad to the party (SLurl)!

Happy 6th Rezday, Tomais!

Six years ago today my darling Tomais rezzed into SecondLife.

I am very happy that both he and I have manipulative and meddling friends who thought we might be suitable for each other and maneuvered to get us to meet. And yes, Rylan and Ziggy, I am indeed thinking about the two of you!

Tomais: "Well, isn't that a fortunate coincidence, seeing that I am mostly confused..."

Happy sixth rezday, my darling!
