Being in Shape

The Much Honored Bock McMillan, laird of Southern Charm and prince of Cascade Falls, firmly believes that being fit and healthy is a life long commitment that requires both energy and desire. Although it is easier to keep in shape in SecondLife than in first life the importance of a regular work out cannot - and should not - be ignored.

The task of staying fit and healthy has been greatly facilitated since I received a gift from my dear friend Carol Pixelmaid, proprietor, designer and builder of *Virtually Gorgeous*™. (*Virtually Gorgeous* Main Store (SLurl))

The *VG* Work Out Rug really helps me and is a fun way to exercise. Ever since I got it I have been doing my workouts twice a day.

My New Blogging Blanket

Working on my new blogging blanket

A few evenings ago my dear friend Carol Pixelmaid, proprietor and lead designer of *Virtually Gorgeous*™ in SecondLife, surprised me with a wonderful personalized gift.

As you can see on Carols blog Virtually Gorgeous (url) she is mainly a designer of women´s fashion, but occasionally her creative talents lead her into building cool stuff and beautiful furniture.

The gift I received is a blogging blanket with a laptop, coffee and cool animations. The special version Carol made for me has my blog on the screen of the laptop, which of course gave me a special thrill. I simply love it and sit on it all the time when I have nothing else to do.

The blogging blanket is now on sale in the vendor in Carol´s furniture store *Virtually Gorgeous* Main Store (SLurl) or on SecondLife Marketplace *VG* blogging blanket w laptop & animations (url). (The regular version is only L$350 but if you want the version with Bock in SecondLife on the screen it will set you back L$1,000,000 due to royalty fees to the McMillan Household, EU-taxes and tariffs surcharges etc. etc.)

Egg Hunt at *Virtually Gorgeous*

I got an IM from my sweet friend Carol Pixelmaid, fashion designer and owner of the soon-to-be-famous *Virtually Gorgeous* label and store in SecondLife.

"Hey Bock, I am having a little Mini Easter Egg Hunt at my store, and I wondered if you would pass the note on to your friends, or alts, the outfit is cute and the hunt is easy."

If I were you I would not believe the easy part of that message (I still remember with dread the time I spent five hours in Vampi´s shop trying to find another "easy" egg), but here are some more instructions for you.

"*Virtually Gorgeous* is having a mini Easter Egg hunt, throughout the month of April.

The Hunt consists of, 6 eggs, each containing a gift, that make up the "Sexy Chick Look" The Yellow Easter Eggs are hidden around the store! *Virtually Gorgeous* Main Store (SLurl) 

Make sure you join in the Easter Fun, and get yours!

Hugs, Carol Pixelmaid <3"

When you get to the store inworld, please note that Carol also has a store with furniture and more cool stuff next to the fashion store. I am hoping that,you have already noticed that I have a link to Carol´s store blog Virtually Gorgeous in my blogroll.

Ughhh this reminds me I need to start thinking about making Easter cards, with my blushing bride Iendi craving all my intention that will be difficult... Why are women so difficult to satisfy, I wonder?

UPDATE April 2, 2012: I can now proudly report that I concluded the egg hunt yesterday. It took me about an hour to find the first one, but after that - when I had figured out how the sneaky little Carol was thinking - I found all six eggs in about 20 minutes. It was fun!
