BIL & Bock Teaser

Andrey Messmer, my darling brother in-law (BIL), and I will be celebrating our fourth rezday in SecondLife together on Saturday March 19th, 2011.

Everyone is welcome to celebrate this momentous day with us so you better be there or be square!

This party starts at 12:00 PM (noon) SLT (20:00 CET or 07:00 PM GMT) and goes on until next weekend or some point before that when we all get too tired.

I know there are a lot of other huge Swedish and International events going on at the same time, so it´s totally understandable if you cannot come or just drop bye for a glass of champagne and a piece of birthday cake.

For more information and updates please visit my sister Millimina Salamander, our party organizer together with my son Guyke , blog "Magasin Millimina".

I have already been asked several times what I wish for my rezday and my answer is always: "Something you made yourself!"

Here are a few suggestions
- a sonnet in my honor or to my beauty, boldness or whatever,
- a poem declaring your love,
- a picture of yourself (nudity is optional) or
- a colored ball or a cube or anything else you have made yourself.
Just keep it personal.

Touched by Ars

I had been dreading this day for weeks, the first anniversary of the day that my Ars/my Doug passed away.

Everytime I thought about this day my stomach bundled up into a hard knot and I got more confused and worried than I usually can be at my very worst.

It got so bad I had to delegate the planning of the details of this gathering of Ars family and closest friends to my son Guyke and my sister Millimina. The two of them of course did an excellent job, we think alike the three of us and our tastes are similar. They checked in from time to time about some detail, I always confirmed their ideas.

I shouldn't have been so afraid, Ars was watching over me and all the others of his family and close friends. We who had loved him and who had been fortunate enough to be blessed by his love.

The day started out splendidly when I received an answer to my invitation to Doug's sisters in real life to join us for the gathering. Sadly they couldn't join us but the mail was not at all a rejection, it was full of love, caring and shared emotions.

In anticipation of the gathering in the evening I wanted to be well rested, so I slept in long and took many catnaps during the day. Each time I dreamed of Ars. Well, I had one nightmare about a cat jumping up at my face to scratch my eyes out also but mostly I dreamed of my Ars. I heard his laughter and I heard his voice in my dreams.

When the time for the gathering finally came they all rallied in to support me and to be supported by me and each other on this day. 

Dejerrity, who came early to have a few moments with Ars by himself, Millimina, Jeb, Andrey, Sarco, Yannis, Guyke and Janttu. Orchid, Yannis wife, dropped in for a brief visit also.

We had a truly magical and wonderful evening as we shared many happy memories about my darling Ars and some sad ones to. A few misunderstandings were cleared up. We laughed a lot and I often had tears in my eyes. but the tears were both of joy and sadness. All of us who were there were loved by Ars in some way and we all loved him right back. He touched our lives and still does.

I never once wept - not until afterwards - and then it was more out of relief and when all the apprehension and tension left my body. 

I am so grateful to all those who were there with me at this time in my life. What could have been a terrible and lonely day, become a day of love, loving support, caring and sweet memories. My deepest gratitude goes to you all for being an important part of my life, I love you all dearly!

Ars forever, forever Ars!

For Your Information

Life is full of strange coincidences.

One of those is that my husband Ars passed away on March 12th a year ago, which is the day after my rezday into SecondLife. I have to deal with this fact and have decided the following.

I will not celebrate my rezday on March 11th - at least not this year - because I will not be in a mood for celebrating at that time.

There will be however be a rezday party at a later date, this is being organized by my son Guyke and my little sister Millimina. You will all be invited by notices on this and other blogs to join me and my brother in-law Andrey as we celebrate our fourth rezdays with a joint party.

Please respect my wish!

This should be a great party, I am so sorry I cannot attend it but fear not clan McMillan will be represented at the party by my amazing brother in-law Andrey S. Messmer.

Treat my BIL well, my friends and countrymen, for he is a rare gem and close to my heart!

My B-I-L Makes the Big Time

This is from my friend Eddi Haskell´s blog www.eddihaskell.com today, my darling B-I-L and his cute husband Andee prancing around in swim wear showing off their studly bodies.

...but now that Andrey has made it to the big blogs always remember you saw him here first, and in the buff too. Wooooooohoooo! Aren´t they a stunning couple?

Alpha Males II

Well my earlier post about Touko Laaksonen and his "Tom of Finland" turned out to be a major eye catcher among my readers, so I am now doing a follow up.

This time I will show you one of the "Toms" in my SecondLife, the fabulous, the loving and the forgiving Andrey Messmer! I am so proud to call him my BIL (brother in-law) again.

"The Cuteness that is Guyke" and "The Coolness that is Janttu" are going to be reinstated as my son and son in-law also as soon as this drama queen gets confirmation from both that its OK to do so.

Hell, I will not wait for confirmation, I´ll do the Nike-thing ...

Back to Andrey now. My BIL is a fantastic photographer in SecondLife, just look at these two examples of his work. WOOOF!

If he wasn´t family I would say he was totally lickable, but now I must be more modest and say instead "He looks rather nice, doesn´t he?"

Andrey showing off ...well himself I guess

Alpha Males

Something I read on a blog, made me think of "Alpha males".

That lead me on to think about the works of "Tom of Finland" who´s real name was Touko Laaksonen (1920–1991). Laaksonen was a Finnish artist best known for his stylized androerotic and his influence on late twentieth century gay culture. He has been called the "most influential creator of gay pornographic images".

I would think his work is in part the role model to a great proportion of the rougher side of gay life, whether the men know of "Tom of Finland" or not.

What the images and magazines of "Tom of Finland" was to the gay men of those earlier days was in a way what our SecondLife is to some gay men today.

This was not a coherent post, because I am a bit on the tired side, but I wanted it out of my system...sorry readers.

Ma Che Bella Serata

Ohhhhhhhhh what a wonderful evening anf night I had yesterday...

It started off with the 200th anniversary of "The Coffee & Pajamas Jazz Show with Elfay Pinkdot" at the beautiful "Circe´s Sunset Jazz Club". Elfay was inspired, the guests were intoxicated by her charming chat and the awesome music. If you missed it you really need to revise your priorities!

We actually started planning for the 300th show celebration in 2012, when someone said that that was the year the world would end according to some prophecy. Let me tell you now - if that propecy should be true - I know no better place to meet that end it than in the company of my darling Millimina, Elfay, Circe and listening to jazz!

After a brief nap - I am a bit tired these days, not really sure why - I loged in to a swimsuit party at Fride´s Beach. The music there was funkilicious and supplied by a great DJ melqt (pronounced Mel-Cutie I learned) Tennenbaum. As always at Mid´s parties, people were pleasant and all possibilities of drama dealt with in a charming way. Alas I was too tired to remember to take any pictures, but let me tell you two of the Apmels where there!

The youngest one is starting to look great - he may have started to work out - give him a few years and hearts will be broken left and right...

From there I moved along to the party at Club Erotes - The Den the wonderful aussie club and one of the friendliest clubs in Second Life. DJ Butch Diavalo entranced us all. I had managed to drag the sweet Adrina Welders out of her shoe-shop and after some convincing hauled Millimina over there too. The guys were all so funny and chatty I forgot to take pictures again..

My great evening ended at "The Week-End Club" where my darling BIL ("brother-in-law") DJ Andrey Messmer entertained some of the hunkiest guys in SL, with the help of his friend and host Ciroc.

This time I remembered to take pictures again, would you believe it... Look at my BIL after his recent makeover, isn´t he a perfect specimen of an edible hunk?

This is the amazingly hot and always loving and supportive Andrey Messmer. He is my darling BIL (brother in law) and I will love him always. Thanks so much for always being an important part of Ars and my life in SL!

Believe it or not, this brazilian hunk is one of the shyest and kindest men in all SL, I had to twist his arm hard to take part in this project.
