Elfay At Pride

The one and only Elfay Pinkdot.

There are very few things that can convince me to crawl out of bed before 9 AM (12 AM midnight SLT) on a Sunday morning, my Ars was one and the divine Elfay Pinkdot doing a set at Second Pride is another.

Despite the early hour I was happy when I got there and was looking forward to two hours of good music, pleasant company and a fun chat. My expectations were indeed surpassed!

Not only was it a good crowd of humorous like-minded people that stayed on after the previous set or came in but also some long missed friends. Among those I want to mention Circe Broom especially, the iconic and generous megastar on the SecondLife live music scene from almost the start until the end of last year. Although Circe isn't feeling well and the fact that it was 3 AM local time for her, she joined us in good spirit and with her usual charm. It was so good to see her again!

Joetonight Starship and Ryce Skytower were also there, adding a bit of male beauty to the starving masses, i.e. me. Longtime readers of this blog will remember Ryce from my series "Naked Avatars in SL" where he stunned us all with his beauty; see Nakna Avatarer i SL 67 (url)

Even if Elfay had a sexy drawl at first, coming straight from bed to do the show, she soon warmed up and so did the crowd, both the regulars and her new fans. We really had a ball.

The best thing is though, that at the end of her show Elfay mentioned that she had agreed with the organizers to do a second set during the coming weeks. I will of course be there, I do not like missing Elfay.

Here are some more pictures from the event.

“Being crazy isn't enough”

Joetonight dressed in lightning

The quote in the title is by Dr. Seuss, and sometimes I think that may be true. Other times I, like Albert Einstein, ask myself  "Am I or are the others crazy?”

I think I may be hanging with a beautiful yet crazy crowd of people. 

First there is the sweet Millimina Salamander, who every time I happen to mention I  am going to log off starts talking with me frantically to keep me there, while when she herself wishes to do the same she just says good night and exits promptly thereafter within 10 seconds flat. Tonight it actually took me 6,5 minutes before she acknowledged my good night and let me log-off. 

Then we have Joetonight Starship, with whom I seem to have a mental connection, because whenever I think of logging off Joe sends me an IM inviting me to a cool party with him and his hubby Dalimar. Every time when I tell him the party starts at 3 AM in the morning for me and that I am sorry that I cannot come, he at least wants me to see his cool costume for the occasion. Usually something half naked - we gay men like to show skin.

Lastly we have the sexy stud Butch Diavolo, who knows very well that I am worthless at multitasking, but still insists on saying his goodbyes when I am chatting with someone else and goes POOF within 5 seconds after his "Slaap lekker".

If I didn't love them all so much I would perhaps start looking for a slower crowd that lets me set the pace, but then again I think I may be bored stiff if I did. 

I am happy to have these wonderful people in my SecondLife although they sometimes drive me crazy.

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.

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.

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.

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.

And right in the middle of the show my Internet Service Provider  was taken down by lightning...

Grooving at Sunset

Almost every Sunday morning 10 AM - 12 PM (noon) you can find me and a gang of friends hanging out on Circe´s Sunset Jazz Club for the "Coffee and Pajamas Jazz Show with Elfay Pinkdot".

I go there for the good music, the excellent chat and banter in local and of course the wonderful music Elfay´s plays for us. Ars always used to say that Elfay is one of the best professional DJ´s he heard in SecondLife. We went there together all the time and it´s always a great comfort for me to go there.

Today I had a slight headache when I went there, fortunately Elfay was spinning excellent mellow guitar music, so by the time we finished my headache was almost gone

Neither Circe, Carol or Joetonight were there today but I am hoping they will all be there next time.

 

Well now...

Well guys and girls, I am too tired for much blogging today so I thought I would give you something to feast your eyes on instead.

This picture was taken by my court-photographer Joetonight Starship during my visit to his beautiful treehouse before Elfay´s "Coffee and Pajamas" on Sunday.

All I can say is, it takes a lot of hard work and maintenance to look stunning, but we all have to try and keep up with Apmel...

The Weekend in Pictures

Well it started of badly on Saturday with me all dolled up and ready to go to a wedding of a friend and his partner. When I looked closely at the invitation - to get a clue where to teleport - I suddenly discovered that the wedding was on Friday, the day before.

So instead of going to that event I sent my excuses to my friend together with the wedding gift and my hopes that they had had a great time without me.

As I started complaining in the Swedish chat about my confusion I was told there was a spontaneous party starting at The Grenouille Inn, run by a friend of mine Iendi Laville.

Here you see me exposing myself to an angel on the counter of Grenouille Inn. (The angel is Iendi Laville.) This time there was a bet on about how fast I would get undressed, so I stretched it out a bit to tease the onlookers and it took me a full five (5) minutes.

On Sunday I as usual went to Circe´s Sunset Jazz Club for The Coffee and Pajamas Jazz Show with Elfay Pinkdot and the best chatters in local anywhere in SecondLife.

This is a picture of the sublime Miss Pinkdot.

We were celebrating the 29th anniversary of Circe Broom´s 21st birthday in real life, and looking at Miss Broom one wouldn't have guessed she was a day older than 21.

At the Sunset I met Joe´s fairy (yeah, yeah he is an elf but I prefer to say fairy) husband Dalimar for the first time. They looked really hot on the dancefloor.

Look at those moves woohoo!

















The weekend ended with my usual run to the other friendliest club in SecondLife, yeah there are two tied for that position, Vampi´s OrmDricka. There I met DJ Lucien Maven again, I really must say that man has impeccable taste! Here you see some snapshots of us together.

Fourth Rezday Party Pictures - UPDATED!!!

Sorry for the delay with this post but I have a real life too ya know...

The pictures are mostly the gracious gifts of my dear friends Diana (surname withheld) and Joetonight Starship, one was stolen from my darling sister Millimina Salamanders blog and a few are my own.

All did not get captured on film by either Joe or Diana and they had - alas - both left us before the hunkalicious men from Club Erotes joined us. At a fast glance I can also see we missed taking pictures of Stirred, and many, many more but we were over 35 avatars a good while so...If anyone has more pictures and don´t mind sharing them with me, please send them to me!

Update 11 PM SLT (7 AM CET the next morning): I have now added a few pictures stolen from Apmel Goossons blog, that include Adrina, Sarco, Svessa, Vanadis, Chade, Volker and ush...

Update 10:30 AM (6:30 PM CET); I have added a picture of Apmel´s buttock cleavage on his insistence and for your comparison.


My deepest thanks again to everyone who came and to everyone who could not come due to real life or other reasons, but most of all to my wonderful family who convinced me this was a good idea and arranged it all with the wonderful surprise performances by DJ Andrey (my BIL and the other rezday boy), Strum Diesel, Bara Jonson, legendary DJ Sarco and last but in no way least Apmel Goosson for showing cleavage.
