SL10B The 20+ Exhibition

My dear friends Vampi Twine DeSantis-McMillan-McMillan (honorary), Sergeant at Arms sirhc DeSantis-McMillan and Gittrika Mint also have an exhibition at SL10B. They had an opening party yesterday which I unfortunately could not attend because - of course - the two major events in my SecondLife have to coincide this year.

So I went to have a look at it today instead, you can also visit it here; Your limousine to 20+ (SLurl). It was an interesting experience and a lot of fun. I was not aware that Gittrika is a sculpture in SecondLife, so there was yet another revelation about a friends talents.

After having seen the 20+ exhibit I walked around to get a look at some of the other exhibitions when I was suddenly hailed by some other friends, Carol Morpork (nee Pixelmaid,) and her husband Timothy Morpork. It was good seeing them both again and we had a pleasant chat, among other things I and Carol compared notes on Timothy's kissing-abilities (Excellent, we both agreed) since I had attacked him on one of the previous Kiss-A-Swede Days and stolen a lovely kiss.

Preparations

The day had come for the most fabulous event of the year in SecondLife, the annual Miss Wigstock contest at Gay Riviera.

For some crazy reason I had rather hastily declared that I would go to the event in drag, but when I took a look at what I had of drag-outfits I started feeling like Cinderella, dreary and not fit to go anywhere in. In short I had a-b-s-o-l-u-t-e-l-y nothing decent to wear among guys dressed up to kill.

Action was needed and action was taken, I went out to shop for fantastic and amazing outfits despite my double-payment problems.

If Kahvy Sands had not forcibly enrolled BM Oh to assist me, I would still have been out there looking. My newest friend is a "diva assoluta" herself and of course knew all the best shops where I could find everything I needed. Halfway through we were joined by my friends Diana and Carol for added - and valued - consultation.

Do any of you know how many things any decent woman needs just to get out of bed, even in SecondLife? Well, there is nail-polish (both fingers and toes), lipstick, eye-shadow, mascara, eye-lashes, blush, heels, gowns, jewelry (earrings, necklace, rings and bracelets) and much, much more.

Did you even know that since the tattoo-layer came to SecondLife it no longer matters which eye-shadow your skin has? You just put an optional eye-shadow over it and whammo you have a whole different make-up!

Well, we had many busy and fun hours but when we were ready I was dressed to slaughter the competition even if I was not in The Miss Wigstock contest.

Thank you so much BM, Diana and Carol, I could not have done it without you! I looked absolutely fabulous even if I have to say so myself!

Miss Wigstock 2013 (LM added)

Prepare yourselves for the event of the season! Today is the day for Glamour, Bling & 'Cha-Ching'.

The 5th Annual Miss Wigstock contest is being held today, 12 PM (noon) SLT, at The Theater on the Hill (SLurl) at Gay Archipelago.

I am going in elegant, award winning at OrmDricka 2010 or 2011. drag attire with a few minor adjustments (but I cannot find the post I did on that victory) and I am looking forward to seeing you all there.

Rumor has it that the SLebrity Mr. Eddi Haskell is going to be one of the judges at the event... so if for nothing else you should come to take a look at that sexy piece of man meat!

...shit, only 8 hours to get ready why am I wasting my time talking with ya´ll?

P.S. Guyke, ma´ buoy, get your ass in gear! I need high-heeled shoes that fit my feet!

P.P.S. I went wild and crazy and have created a completely new look with the help of my new friend BM Oh and Diana and Carol!

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.

A Whole Lotta´ Kisses

The long awaited day was finally here, it was time for the second annual International Kiss-A-Swede Day in SecondLife!

You can send out invitations, but if you don´t ask for R.S.V.P´s you never know how many may turn up. I knew from the start that it was an awkward day and time for many non-Europeans. After all the Kiss-A-Swede Day hasn't been made a holiday in most other parts of the world, not yet.

Too my great pleasure many friends and other people did come to the event and quite a few from the American continent too. Actually they came in such droves that I wore out my kissing-HUD. It simply stopped working halfway through the event. Luckily for me many of the potential kissers had HUD´s of their own.

I would like to than all for who came to join in the fun and especially FelineFemme, who was an amazing DJ at the event, and my sexy buddy Butch Diavolo, who helped me out with the hosting.

Here are some pictures from the event, please enjoy! ... I should also have some of me kissing with my CTO Vampi Twine and with Helene Dragone and Fia Wycliffe, but somehow I cannot find them. (I was too busy focusing on my own kissing, but I heard and saw quite a few others going at it on their own - hopefully I will be able to link to other blogs later.). As always you can click the pictures to see them enlarged.

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!

The Last C&P Show

When I got the news that Circe Broom was shutting down the Laurel Arts sim I was devastated. I have spent many hours of my SecondLife there enjoying poetry, live performances, comedy acts and last - but in no way least - "The Coffee and Pajamas Jazz Show with Elfay Pinkdot" (C&P) together with Ars, with friends or on my own.

Circe Broom, owner of the Laurel Arts sim

I first knew off C&P and met with DJ Elfay Pinkdot at the Saturday and Sunday shows that were held at Second Pride Festival of 2008. I was blown away by this chatty DJ who played great music while having an interactive banter with those at the show in SecondLife or listening in on radio and who were sending her messages by text or mail.

DJ Elfay Pinkdot in action

Everyone didn't get or like the format of the show, which relies heavily on audience participation and Elfay´s communication with us throughout the show. But I was thrilled and excited as many of the regulars who lovingly came week after week for Elfay, the music and the other regulars (in that order). Circe herself and her lover Vince were almost always there. Circe acting as a safe anchor and participating with the rest of us.

Margo, Carol, I and Diana

After Ars passed away I rarely left the home sim for a long time except for sets by Bara Jonson and Strum Diesel or events at OrmDricka and the C&P. These places I felt loved, welcomed and fairly safe. I cannot say how I would have managed without them, but I am happy they were there when I was in need.

Margo, Carol, I, Joetonight and Diana

As I was preparing for the last show of C&P at Circe´s Sunset Jazz Club I was sad but at the same time happy, because although I knew this was the last time I would be going there I would also meet the other regulars who had become my fiends, Circe, Elfay, Diana, Carol, Joetonight, Margo, Ex, Mari (who unfortunately could not be there this Sunday), DoubleDown Tandino (whom I meanly have renamed DDT for short) and more, many more.

It is sad when good things come to an end, but I for one will relish in the sweet memories of those days until I lose my mind or die. The last show was a Valentines Day celebration, if you should wonder about all the hearts.

Reflections on a Monday

Sunday was a hectic day for me. My feelings were all over the place, swinging from sorrow to happiness and then back and forth a few times. All in all it was a good day though.

Can one actually celebrate a wedding anniversary if the spouse is dead? That was one of the things on my mind early in the day, but I soon decided that "Hell yes, sure I can" because it was one of my happiest days in SecondLife. "Honi soit qui mal y pense" (which in Bockese directly translates into "Bugger those evil minded bastards who think ill thereof")

Then I was reached by the news of Whitney Houston´s death at an early age in tragic circumstances. The first song that came to my mind was "I Will Always Love You" from the film where she starred against Kevin Costner, "The Bodyguard". Not very original I know but...

The last Coffee and Pajamas Jazz Show with Elfay at Circe´s Sunset Jazz Club brought laughter and sad and happy memories. That club and that show and Circe, Elfay, Diana, Margo and Carol, Mari and Ex and all the other regulars there, meant a lot for me during a difficult time. I cannot even begin to explain how important it was for me to have that place to go to every Saturday (and later Sunday). It was a sad parting of sorts but still not because they will all remain in SecondLife and hopefully we will all keep in touch.

The Sunday ended on a very happy and festive note with the birthday bash of my buddy Ziggy Starsmith and his studelicious man Holter. All the gay hunks of SecondLife where there and I should think some more came after I left at midnight (my time) to catch some sleep before work today.

In between the show and the party I had good conversations with my sister Millimina, my brother in-laws Dejerrity and Andrey...hmmm sorry I mean D R E Y. My avatars soul was after further investigations proven to be in mortal peril and was finally saved. 

But more about the last show, the birthday bash and the tests and the scary treatments I had to undergo to save my soul in future posts. I need to gather more energy for that.

Ohh I will also reveal the identity of "my vampire", the most beautiful vampire that has ever existed, including that silly Tom Cruise´s rendition.

A Whole Lotta Kissing!

The time for the 1st annual International Kiss-A-Swede Day in SecondLife finally was finally here.

Before it started I was wondering how the f**k I could come up with such a crazy idea, but that feeling passed once I had Millimina and Vampi at my side and we together waited for the kissers to start coming come to us.

Kissable Vampi in a beautiful furry skin

 With an event like this there is no knowing who and how many will come, you just have to take it in your stride and go with the flow and most importantly just have fun!

People were coming and going all through the two hours, which is just as it should be on this kind of event, many I had missed seeing in a while showed up and some I thought might come didn't but thats to be expected also. Things happen in real life and in SecondLife, we just cannot be everywhere - and of course sometimes we don´t want to be at a particular place either.

The main thing is that those of us that were there had fun, and I myself for sure had an excellent time and kissed like crazy! There was only one dumbass loser who declined my kiss, it did not spoil my fun although I wondered about who shows up at a kissathon and refuses to kiss?

Anyway we were close to 25 avatars for about an hour and about 15 the rest of the time. I had an awesome time.

Thanks to everyone who came and special thanks to Vampi and Millimina for helping kiss a few!
