"No Vegetation" by JJ GoodmaNZ

Today my consort Tomais, my bro JJ, and I were loafing on the beach by the summer palace. When JJ took this pic I named it "No Vegetation". Sheree will know why...

Celebrating Christmas

Yesterday my twin brother JJ MercuryNZ and I celebrated a part of Christmas together. We had fun with those antlers with bells on, everytime we moved it sounded as if Santa was on his way.

A Fun Project

Yesterday I was part of a fun project in recreating The Village People's "YMCA" in SecondLife in both a photograph and a video.

Hanging at JJ's & Wayne's Pool

After a bit of motorboating with Tomais, JJ, Wayne, and Lazurus ("Call me Laz" his profile says), we ended up at JJ's & Wayne's pool in there new home. We were joined by Petr,

Heads from left to right, Tomais, Petr, JJ, me, Wayne & Lazurus

Lots of fun and laughter while discussing everything between heaven and hell (both non-existent), some friendly bickering, and informing Laz about the great benefits of having a Premium Account. Among other things, you get into crowded regions easier, which is worth a lot. Between motorboating and the pool, I managed to get into Ûber and buy the fatpack of Deadwool's new jacket. Beautiful textures and colors, as usual, Masa Plympton is a wonderful designer.

Social Distancing In SecondLife

So what do four gay men, from different corners of the world, do when they are together in SecondLife, in these the end times when world events will reach a climax and we will either meet our makers to attain redemption or be sent straight to hell or perhaps just peter out into gaseous steam into the all-consuming universe?

Well, these four men listened to music, danced and played with the "It's Not All Mine"-Cum HUD for Men (link to SL-Marketplace).

The creator of this HUD must have had a lot of fun when they got this brilliant idea. The user can disperse their cum at a selected body part in or on someone else nearby. The cum only comes off with Linden water (i.e. stepping into it or taking a shower) or if someone licks or sucks it (choice also available in the HUD).

Self-Quarantine

When the news broke that Prince Albert II of Monaco had tested positive for the novel coronavirus, The Much Honored Bock McMillan, Laird of Southern Charm, immediately went into a voluntary self-quarantine.

"Bock in Quarantine" by JJ GoodmaNZ

The laird and the prince had been cavorting in Paris during the weekend, so the measure was taken out of an abundance of safety. Neither the laird, nor his Prince Consort, are - as yet - displaying any symptoms of Covid-19.

P.S. No alas I am not singing to entertain my neighbors, my consort will not allow me...

The Laird's Lament

Commoners don't always fully appreciate what a burdensome undertaking it is to be a Prince of the Realm. 

Not only have I inherited two castles, three manors, 15 villas, and uncountable other domiciles, all over the world, but the upkeep and maintenance alone also takes a sizeable portion of my income. However, it falls on me as the head of clan McMillan to keep the lazy princes and princess, the staff and all the other greedy buggers who hang around with roof over their heads.

Bock with Tiara, by JJ Goodman

Blogger's & Twitter's modesty's sake. You can see the full-sized photo here)

In this beautiful picture of when I am taking my morning bath, by my beloved brother Prince George (aka JJ), I seem to be alone and in a pensive mood. Not true!

Truth be told we were surrounded by at least twenty courtiers and even more servants. There was The Sergeant at Arms, The Carrier of The Royal Chamberpot, The Royal Fluffer, The Royal Towel Maiden, etc. etc. Although I am only wearing the simple and unassuming Brandenburg Tiara in platinum with gigantic drop-shaped pearls, the crown is an essential attribute.

Sometimes being a laird is simply no fun at all.

A Straight Eye For The Queer Guy

I still haven't gotten over how truly stunning, fabulous and amazing I looked at the "It's A Party"-event, so I am giving you all another chance to admire me.

The fashion-forward CheerNo jumpsuit fitted me really well and kept me cool despite dancing nonstop for two whole hours.

Now that you've gotten your fill of the astounding me, why not surf on over to get The Not-So-Naked Apmel's report from the event: My Avatar's Name is Apmel: "It was Bock's party and notwithstanding Apmel's ass being there Bock's appearance would have made him center of attention at any party" (url). (Don't you just the lovely long title of that post?)

Party Pictures by JJ Goodman (Now With Longer Video)

A nifty thing my computer just showed me, I don't know how to edit or play with it yet and not sure it will work either.

Edited and added all JJ's awesome pictures and set it to music. Enjoy!

And here is my second try, a bit more energetic and with funkier music.

It's A Party...And You're All Welcome!

Please join us in celebrating Life, Love and the grand opening of Static Frenzy's exhibition at the Northmead Gallery, Southern Charm, SecondLife on Saturday, October 20th, 2018, at 12 PM (noon) SLT.

Music will be provided by the amazing Lee McKay. (By special dispensation, music by ABBA will be permitted - for the first and only time ever - on Southern Charm.)

SecondLife photographer Static Frenzy, as many already know, is renowned and loved for his vision of what it means to be an LGBT-man in a virtual reality with scenes from his everyday life, budding romances, and hot sexual encounters.

The Northmead Gallery also has its permanent galleries showing the works of JJ Goodman, Wayne Allan, and Tomais Ashdene besides parts of the Laird of Southern Charm's vast collection of  SecondLife artwork.

Wear whatever you feel like, but wear something. (The only one permitted to be completely nude is Mr. Apmel Goosson Esq., should he wish to attend.)

Remember, all the best parties should have at least one sim crash.

Here is your limousine waiting to transport you to The Northmead Gallery at Southern Charm (SLurl).

Chez Nathanael & Ophiel

The Much Honored Bock McMillan, laird of Southern Charm, prince of Cascade Falls, Sovereign Ruler of the Commonwealth of the Southern Enchantment Realm and Outer Territories and finally UN-appointed Protector of the Mount Whitney sim in SecondLife (that's me), yesterday made an official visit with mes chers cousins Nathanael Sommerfeld and Ophiel Er'el, Marquis of Montfort l'Amaury.

The official reason for the visit was that Monfort l'Amaury has recently received a complete redecoration into an 18th-century roleplay sim and is now going to open its doors to the general public, or the hoi polloi as we entitled people prefer to say.

Monfort l'Amaury, and his consort Graf Simon Hieronymus Casimir zu Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg
(Nathanael Sommerfeld) and finally Holter Rez., a prince of the realm. 
Missing from the picture is Wayne Allen, a prince of the realm.

The real reason, however, was to bring the diplomatic negotiations concerning the incorporation of Monfort l'Amaury (as a self-governing region) into the Commonwealth of the Southern Enchantment Realm to a successful close.

Welcome to my world dear cousins. You are hereby both granted the title of "Prince of the Realm". May our friendship last and may our cooperation be successful.

Identical Twins

My twin brother JJ visited our sim today.

"Monozygotic twins" by JJ Goodman

Tomais and I have been relandscaping Dej's parcel at Southern Charm (Well, Tomais really, but I have been overseeing his work.)

JJ, whose partner Wayne is temporarily away, has a lot of free time on his hands and uses it mainly to admire himself if you don't drag him from their sim. So I tempted him with the suggestion that he could come to look at me instead, as we are identical twins. He fell for it and could appreciate Tomais great work with the landscaping also.

As Requested

When I last published my Noche thong picture, my friend Petr requested I post pictures from the front and the back to prove that my butt is as firm, perky and manly as I claim.

Ladies and gentlemen may I present the visual proof, with thanks to my brother JJ for taking the pictures. The mesh body is Signature Gianni, with the butt size set to 100.

Enjoy!

Is Hot-Pink the Right Color For Me?

When I logged in today, Tomais was at Noche with JJ and Wayne, to check out the new thongs. I teleported over and liked what I saw. The bulge comes in four sizes, so as the humble and shy person I actually am I went for size three (second largest).

You can always use a good thong so I got the fatpack with loads of textures. Not sure if hot-pink is the best color for me though.

Today I was extremely talkative, sort of wired up, and a bit too blunt. I really must try and control myself when I am like this.

Sporty Shorty

Me on a wakeboard pulled through the Blake Sea by my husband Tomais on one of his contraband deliveries in the GTFO-game. This time i believe it was drugs to Half Hitch. My brother JJ took the picture.

An Exceptionally Wonderful Man

Butch Diavolo has been a good friend of mine for many years now.

Butch is also a squatter on my homesim and is appointed as the Royal Gardener of the sim. (Although truthfully he hasn't been building or beautifying much (except his own plot) the last year, but he has been busy having a love life and taking care of himself.)

I know Butch as a kind, intelligent, warm hearted, level headed, everso faithful, amusing and highly sarcastic man, who always tries to help out if he is able. The only thing I have found lacking is his lovelife and his - sometimes - worrying choices where men and partners are concerned.

Yesterday I decided to adopt him as a son, and he agreed (Let's see how long that will last...) to defer to me before entering into any future partnerships. Any prospective partner will first be vetted by me - and my swarms of spies all over the Internet and in SecondLife - before being partnered. Linden Lab has been notified of this requirement and have agreed to assist in any way possible.

Fun thing though, through other familial ties of both my sons Butch and Pook, Butch will now be both Pook's brother and his grandmother. SecondLife families are a seriously messed up thing. However, as Pook's "pappa" I shall now be humming this tune to myself:

"For your brother is your grandma,
but your daddy don't know.
Woe, is me, shame and scandal in the family
Woe, is me, shame and scandal in the family"

(For clues to this musical reference please listen to Shawn Elliott in "Shame and Scandal in the Family")

Snack, Anyone?

Well, when your brother is a skilled photographer and asks you to hop on a posestand, thats what you do.

Yesterday JJ got inspired while watching me trying out a new hair from Vango I had found at the Men's Only Monthly. (I'm not going to be wearing it much outside of a photo shoot, because without the magic of Photoshop it's really not blond but has a ghastly yellowish hue.)

"Bock home alone" by JJ Goodman (click name to visit Flickr page)

“A portrait is not made in the camera but on either side of it.”,  said Edward Steichen, and this time it was definitely made on the photographers side.

Thank you, bro, the portrait is really beautiful. Awesome work!

"naked with a chair" - An Art Project by Mind

You all know how it is. When you login to SecondLife you are overwhelmed by notices, note cards, IM's, invitations and more. Sometimes you just click away or discard, other times you mean to read and respond later.

Well, if you are as forgetful as I am, that "sometimes" means you don't get to read important and interesting stuff, like an invitation from min cher ami Mind Carlberg to join in a fun photography project. 

Sample from Mind Carlberg's Flickr

Luckily, I was made aware of the project yesterday as I am surrounded by great photographers much of the time. One of the guys suggested we go over and take a look, as far as I could see neither my husband Tomais or my brother JJ had made a picture, nor had JJ's husband Wayne.

So when Wayne logged off to enjoy his Friday and my hubby and bro went to model in a photoshoot, I stayed on to take a nudie pic of myself and take part in the exhibition.

This morning I got an email from Mind ominously informing me "you've been framed" and thanking me for my picture. He had accepted my picture although I had informed him that I am not a photographer, merely a snapshooter.

If you want to see all the naked women and men with chairs who have taken part so far, please visit Mind Carlberg's Flickr page (url) or visit the interactive installation at THE BURIED MAN/Love Land (SLurl). While you are there why not undress and take a picture at the chair that is set up there.

The exhibition has been extended, so go, go, go!

"It Is Considered A Fashion Faux Pas"

I and the guys visited the one year anniversary celebration of Achille's "Men's Nudist Beach" (a.k.a. MNB or Men's Clothed Beach) yesterday.

Holt, I, Tomais, JJ and Wayne 

After awhile I saw something on one of my friends that shook me to the core.

Old men all over the world do it without shame. Germans and Brits do it. Hell, even David Beckham does it! And in the fashion seasons of 2010 and 2014 some designers attempted to make it trendy, but - Thank the Babylonians! - failed. We are talking about wearing socks with sandals.

Now, according to Wikipedia, this is an age old point of contention in men's fashion. "Wearing socks and sandals together is a controversial fashion combination and social phenomenon that is discussed in various countries and cultures. It is considered a fashion faux pas."

So, one of my friends was actually wearing sandals with socks, believe it or not... Surprisingly it was the most fashion forward among us sporting this weird combination, the awesome and well known SecondLife fashion icon, fashion vlogger, film director and producer (link takes you to his YouTube Channel) and not least a brilliant photographer (link to his Flickr), Mr. WayneNZ Esq.

Wayne in socks and sandals

Ladies and gentleman, I am now going to ask you for your opinion, is it the combination of socks and sandals cool or uncool? Please take the poll in the top right corner and add any additional remarks you may have in the comments.

Winding Down

After a long and hard week it's become more or less a tradition to wind down at the Steamworkz Sunday Tea Party with DJ Lee McKay and host Jax Endriago.
