Second Pride Was On Fire!

Late Saturday - or very, very early Sunday morning for us Euros - the hawt, sexy, stunning, mouth-watering Men in Motion set Second Pride on fire (at least the gay men and the bi men and women) with their shaking, rattling, rolling, jumping and even more sensuous movements.

Well, my friend Si de Brit, who is a dancer in the company and choreographed two of the dances (Hint: Look for fire!) convinced me to stay on. I didn't regret it one bit.

There were quite a few of the SL-glitterati along with some sexy and creative security personnel. (Congrats to the sim at LEA, Levi!)

I had to leave at 4AM my time to "take care of business", i.e. go to bed before I fell asleep with my head on the keyboard. (It gives you such a strange look the day after...)

Pictures!

On the Levi’s Outlook on life the sim is divided by  a diagonal gradient from total abstract pixels that flow out of a visualised ‘ fountain'  transforming in to shapes and  letting SL-realism emerge.

On the second abstraction level their is a walk way indicated by arrow - although note perfect it illustrates how i see different ways o view life.

It's Pride Week!

The Second Pride Festival starts today!

I will be there and to flaunt my pride and my colors, to meet old friends and new ones and to enjoy as many of the events as I possibly can - given the restrictions set by timezones. However, as I have wisely planned my vacation to start at the same time as the festival I should be able to be on later than usually.

You can find the festival schedule of events on the Second Pride website here. (Please note that the schedule is subject to change, so check it every day to make certain there haven't been any changes affecting your plans.)

The events of the first day include the opening ceremonies with
4-6 PM - DJ Wes at the main stage (SLurl)
6-8 PM - DJ Shep at the main stage (SLurl)
8-10 PM - DJ Regi at the main stage (SLurl)

Besides these scheduled events there are lots of other things to do and enjoy on the three sims.

The Second Pride Parade is tomorrow Saturday 10 AM-12 PM (noon).

The parade starts after one of the most important events of the Pride Festival, which of course is The McMillan Parade Ball, 8-10 AM at the main stage (SLurl) with The Smith Boys (DJ Kahvy and host Garrett).

This is a formal event so dress to your teeth! Tartans are highly encouraged, but not required. This event is sponsored by Bock in SecondLife.

The Place to Be Tonight

Celebrate 12 hours of New Years Eve with most of the gay population in SecondLife and our straight friends at Ty & Regi Yifu's Bashaversary Three.

The party starts at 12 PM (noon) SLT. Your extended limousine awaits, to take you to Times Sq, New York City, N.Y., SecondLife.

Forgotten Items

Here are two pictures from the Pine Valley's Paramount Ballroom's "Samba Party" that have never been published.

I am the one in the red outfit, with one of the hand held feather-thingies from Regimade attached to my ass and my personally fitted Prestige-boots from Bax. I am sure Regi Yifu never imagined that happening when he created the feathers. My son Guyke is in a cool outfit from Miamai.

Life Is A Cabaret @ Spinners

Yesterday I gave ya'll the prologue, well parts of it, because I said nothing about the many, many hours I spent shaving my face and every nook and cranny of my body. In some hard-to-reach places I even had to beg for assistance by an unnamed hair-remover. But let's forget about those traumatic moments now, suffice it to say that it takes some pain to be pretty.

Guykita, Butchette and the radiant Bocquerelle arrived to the venue on the specified time only to find that we were the only three in full drag, well except for Andy Long and his beautiful husbands, Story and Sutry. Not only that but - to add disaster to discomfort - it turned out there was an alpha layer on the ballroom floor that made Butchette's and my amazing gowns from Paris Metro disappear. "Alpha on alpha, just doesn't work, as every noob knows!", said Butchette (or something to that effect) as we moved on to the stage (which was non-alpha).

Isn't it amazing what can be accomplished with highlights and lowlights? Just look at Butchette's wonderful bosom, who would think that if you saw him from the side he was as flat chested as he always is.

Kharissa, Pieni & Larz Kas

Poor little Pieni, was threatened by Butchette to be skinned and made into shoes. Brave little Pieni was not frightened by the bully because - as I was told later - "Lol he wuld have been in real trouble then. I has sharp teethies and twelve protective uncles. AND aunties and cousins. Hehe".

After a grueling two hour period eventually more and more people started showing up in the requested attire, although some were still not confident enough.

We even had the pleasure of being joined by the renowned SecondLife
performance artist SaveMe Oh for a while (before she was kicked out
for creating lag with her sheep and meadows rezzed all over the ballroom)

A dazzling beauty whose name I am afraid I have forgotten.
I am not even sure if she was in drag or is a woman.
