We Owe Them Gratitude - SEMA 2011

Day in and day out, week after week and all year long they work tirelessly to give the rest of us in the Swedish community in SecondLife, and our International friends, a possibility to meet, chat, dance, listen to music, meditate and have a good time together.

We owe these avatars loads of gratitude and love for doing that!

Apollon Allen, Vira Broome and NE0 Timeless got together and created "The Swedish Event Makers Award" (SEMA). The purpose of the SEMA is to celebrate the creative and committed avatars for their efforts during the past year.

"The only thing wrong with the SEMA", said the Much Honored Bock McMillan, laird of Southern Charm and prince of Cascade Falls in an interview to CNN today, "is that I didn't come up with the damn excellent idea myself. Of course I will be there - and in full colors - to give back a little to all these these wonderful people!"

Party for Three Beauties

This was the party for which everyone in the  "Who is Who in Swedish SecondLife" turned out.for, and even a few of the up and coming SLebrities and some International guests. The only one missing was the third rezday girl, Gittrika Mint who had ISP-problems.

Apollon Allen and sirhc "Junior" Weatherwax did a great job to entertain us. Good music and great company are the two core ingredients of a party in SecondLife and you can even add a drink or two in first life to make it even better!

Lots of old friends, some sexy new studs I must confess but I kept my hands to myself - this time... When I left just after 11 pm the party was still going on strong. I should imagine some of them kept it up the rest of the night.

Bollywood 2011

Ewa Aska celebrated her fifth rezday in SecondLife with a Bollywood party, and what a party it was!

My buddy Butch Diavolo was kind enough to accompany me there after we had gotten him some suitable attire - which of course means that he was proudly showing a lot of his gorgeous skin and body. He refused to let me use a nice pic of his behind which was cute as hell.

At the party I had terrible problems with lag which doesn't happen that often for me. The lag prevented me from taking pictures during the first half of the evening and in the second half I only got one acceptable one but it´s a beaut! 

Doesn't it look as if Apollon Allen has been working out a lot lately?

Yeah there were also many wonderful women at the party and all of them in colorful silkdresses, but alas my camera was on strike. But I got picks of the two best onse!

As you can see from the picture with Apollon Ewa Hsad done great work with the scenography of the party venue.

Bara´s Release Party

The cloud is Chaplin Early. He doesn't like his picture taken.
as you may remember from my series "Naked avatars in SL"

Bara Jonson finally released his long awaited album "Lost in America... Somewhere" with a release party at the wonderful Gimle venue, owned and operated by Iendi Laville and Apollon Allen.

Bara sang and played his guitar to us who where there or listening in on the stream; some songs acoustically, some songs to back tracks from the new album and some even in duet with his son young son Kris. Let me tell you at once, this album was well worth waiting for!

You can buy the full album here.

The audience at the sim where mostly Scandinavians but we had a thoroughly great time.

(This post has been corrected according to the clarifications made by Bara Jonson in a comment)

Bara Jonson - Official Release Party

Today Thursday June 2, 2011, 01:00 PM the Swedish singer/songwriter - and my buddy - Bara Jonson will be singing live for us from his new album "Lost in America .. Somewhere".

The party starts at 12:30 PM (noon) n hour earlier though with DJ Apollon spinning for us - as he will continue doing as the party moves to the Grenouille Inn after Bara´s set.

Come to the Gimle sim or hit me (or any other sexy Swede you may know) for a teleport.

This event is presented to us all by Iendi´s transistor, Iendi and Apollon!

At Grenouille Inn

Let me first of all nip the rumors in the bud before they start spreading too far.
1) No, Blanche and I did not color coordinate before meeting at the inn for the Mannen Darkstone event.
2) No, I did not change my sexual preferences overnight or "bridge the gap for an evening" so to speak. However we did make up after our most recent run-in even if we didn't make out.

Mannens voice was beautiful and he sounded as great as he does on his websites, which wasn't strange because he unfortunately didn't sing live. This made me a bit disappointed at the time (So sorry, Apollon Allen) but the choices his closest and longest fans had made of which music should be played showed the wide spectrum of this amazing singer/songwriters talents.

I have some things to say to Mannen and I really, really mean this in the best possible way; Mannen, with your God-given talents you can have a great career in both SecondLife and in real life, but this will only happen if you can muster the courage to start doing it live, at the very least as "singback". I suggest you get some coaching and start in a small way, with your closest friends and the patient Swedes.

Of course you can also chose to be a strictly recording singer, Mannen, but then please see to it that the venue you "perform at" announces the event as such.

Lastly, if at all possible, get help with your scheduling and coordinating of real life with SecondLife so you are always at the venue 15-30 minutes before your time slot. There are a chosen few rock bands and singers who get away with being late to their sets. These are usually the ones where both the performers and their audiences are high as kites all the time. (This piece of my mind may be really unfair because shit happens to us all the time, but this was the first of your events I had myself come to in time - then again I am audience, we don´t count and therefore have that privilege.)

I look forward to listening to you really sing for me in the future Mannen and wish you the best of luck with your musical career.

Happy Rezday, Apollon!

Absolutely everyone seems to be having their rezdays now, so here is another one... my friend Apollon Allen!

I am sure you all recognize him as the winner of my earlier project "Naked Avatars in SecondLife" even if he happens to have clothes on in this picture.

Happy 4th rezday Apollon. Big hugs!

Iendi´s Surprise Party

Yesterday was the beautiful Iendi Lavilles third rezday. Her husband Apollon Allen secretly arranged a rezday party for her. Here are some party pics!

It all started out in an orderly fashion, but later in the evening we moved on to the Grenouille Inn where we all went crazy dancing on the counter - well some of us and yours truly included.

I think it may have been intended to be a slow strip, but I am not really "the most patient person in the whole of SecondLife" so I was stark naked in about four seconds flat. I may have to make a new visit to the Xcite store for another version of the X4, because the present dickie looks as if I am hung like a donkey.

I hope you had a happy rezday Iendi, because I did.

You know you need to shake your ass, so get it over there. By the way Iendi is promising to take us all to the Grenouille Inn for bardancing before her hubby passes out so just be there.

As you may already know Apollon is co-owner of the OneLove Events with the beautiful Iendi Allen.

Your limousine is waiting to take you to the party here.

Ohh What a Night..

Starting of with the opening of Iendi´s and Apollon´s OneLove (with some of the hottest women in SecondLife) and ending with Eddi´s and Jago´s second anniversary party (with some of SecondLife´s hottest men). I danced, danced and danced...

Well I know I sat through the wonderful show that junivers Stockholm and his team of beautiful women gave us together with the firemasters extraordinaire Jannne Janus and Ambrooshia DeCuir, but that was not for long.

It was during the amazing light show that I got this picture from Lelle Kidd ... proving once again that I don´t always look as hot and cute as I think I do....

But I felt a little better when I returned his favor with this snapshot of him.

Which goes to prove that you only know what you see on your own screen, others may see it in a completely different way!

All in all, I had a great time last night. Thanks everyone for making it heavenly! 

"I could have danced all night!
I could have danced all night!
And still have begged for more.
I could have spread my wings
And done a thousand things I've never done before.
I'll never know 

What made it so exciting.
Why all at once my heart took flight.
I only know when he
Began to dance with me.
I could have danced, danced danced all night!"  

P.S. HELL YEAH! I did try out dancing on the bar at the new Grenouille Inn, and I can attest to the fact that it is quite safe!

To All Lovers in SecondLife

To find love is great, wherever you find it cherish it always!

This song I dedicate to those who have had the joy of finding it in SecondLife
Iendi & Apollon, Vampi & sirhc, Eddi & Jago, Guyke & Janttu, Svessa &  Frost, Erestor & Gwennyfair, Bara & Nickel, Ziga & Emarald, Jeb & Shayne, Tymus & Truck, Bora & Lucky, Niven & Ferdy, Chade & Ronan and many. many more (the names keep on coming to me but I stop here and hope no one feels left out).

I think of Ars and thank SecondLife for my time with him.

Please feel free to complete my list with your and your loves name in the comments!

"OneLove Events" - Grand Opening

Well my friends tomorrow November 27th, 2010, is the grand opening of "OneLove Events", the joint venture of my friends Iendi Laville and Apollon Allen.

The party starts at 1.00 PM SLT (se program), and if I were you I would be there in time. From all accounts I am getting the sim will get overcrowded faaaaaast.

Dress code is: Flamboyant

For more information and updates please visit their website OneLove Events.

You have probably already seen a few sneak previews of the amazing work Iendi and Apollon have done on their new sim on some of the other Swedish SL-bloggs recently. Ofcourse all those bloggers claim to have been invited beforehand, but we all now that ain´t true don´t we... This blogger is, as you all know by now, a very timid and bashful person that does not go gatecrashing and disturb friends in their important work.

There is a reason people always tell me I am the most patient man in SecondLife! (And yes I can hear Ars, Guyke and the rest of my family in SecondLife and real life laughing out loud at this statement as they always do - but don´t pay any attention to them.)

Unfortunately I am logging into RL for a weekend of mahjong with three other fanatics, so I can cannot be there for the grand opening but I will for sure be there often in the future.

Grenouille Inn Re-opening

Great news on the blogs!

The wonderful "Grenouille Inn", that was torn down recently with a great party, has been rebuilt in a new location and will be re-opening again on Saturday November 27th 2010 at 1 pm SLT.

The new management will ofcourse consist of the amazing Iendi Laville, but now with the addition of her partner Apollon Allen, who I´m guessing will also be the inhouse DJ. (Both of them have naturally appeared in my project for art and peace "Nakna avatarer i SL".)

Iendi has assured me that I and perhaps also the rest of you will be allowed - nay, encouraged - to dance on the new inn´s bar!

Get there early, I am guessing the place will be stacked. Landmarks will be provided on the day of the opening, Iendi and Apollon have reportedly already had "unauthorised visitors" snooping around and disturbing the workforce (which consists mainly of Apollon, but still...).

What a Wonderful Night

Well, I thought I should report about my night out in real life yesterday. Let me tell you from the start

I HAD A S-P-E-C-T-A-C-U-L-A-R EVENING!

The company was charming!
The conversation was ebullient and sparling with wit and moments of serious talk!
The food - ohhh the godlike food - was delicious from start to finish, and in all it´s components!
The wine could have been better, but was satisfactory!
The service was sexy, cute, tall, blonde, hunky, charming and impeccable!

I am so happy I decided to go, in spite of my preliminary hesitations. It was so fun and enjoyable. The only part missing to make it complete was that I didn´t get kissed the way you see my previous post and there was no sex at the end either... But a man´s got to take such things in his stride, huh?

Well I did get a lot of pecks on my cheeks a couple of warm hugs, so my need of tactile stimulation was satisified a bit also.

...an added bonus was the fact that this was the night we switched back from summertime, so I got an hours extra sleep.

P.S. I did go into SecondLife for a quick visit when I got home and found the Halloween party at Tara Hill was still going on. Although I could not stay very long (because I was "tired") and wasn´t really observant I did manage to catch a few sweet remarks from DJ Apollon.

Thanks for those remarks,Apollon, you topped my great night and made it even better! Big hugs!

Au Revoir Grenouille Inn

Photo courtesy of Belze Fraker

Well last night was wild and crazy. Almost all the Swedish glitterati had assembled at Grenouille Inn for a send-off party before the establishment was moved to a yet undisclosed location (or I may just have missed that piece of info).

I was busy talking with two prominent members of the Norwegian SL-community, Mialinn Telling and Starry Sweetwater, most of the evening.

The beautiful couple Apollon Allen and Iendi Laville gave us all a wonderful party, with loads of beer and music from the 80´s.

As has become my (bad) habit at Grenouille I immediately jumped up on the bar to dance, and was followed by Ikaros String and Maffe Carlberg. We were soon joined by some of the other guys, Frosty Muggins, Frostland Beornsen, Jesper Prinz, Bejiita Imako, marcuz Palen and Sunshine and perhaps some more.

My conversation with the two charming Norwegian ladies distracted me greatly. After all I am a man and have very limited mutitasking capabilities. I can really only do one thing at a time. Suddenly I noticed there was an impromptu contest for "Best Male Avatar" going on and hurried to join and we were all losing articles of clothing to attract attention and votes.

Unfortunately I could not manage to get my darn computer to obey me, so I got no pictures on my own.

My modesty prevents me from telling you who won ... to his own surpirise, but Frostland and Frosty got up on the bar after the voting had already started otherwise I am sure one of them would have won, both of them seem to have been woring out a lot lately and they were gorgeous.

On Blanche Argus blog I found a picture which I show you a detail of here. I wonder where my hair went - LOL.

OMG I seem to have missed the most important news tonight...

Congratulations to the lovely couple 
Ms. Iendi Laville and Mr. Apollon Allen! 

I love you guys and wish you many happy years together!!!
