A Horrible Start

After having troubles with rezzing my avatar yesterday I tried to take off everything I could and then set it to the male test avatar again. My work was interrupted by a surprise visit from a friend in first life. He had a bottle of wine and  some pizza.

I woke up early today and the picture shows you what I encountered when I logged in-world, "The boy next door"- male avatar with a couple of remnants from the pool party at Regi's Warehouse #69. Luckily I am getting to be an old hand on this and could soon get my regular self into place for a visit to one of Sarco Halderman's sets with my friend Jared Palianta.

The Big Friday Splash @ Warehouse #69

When the party at The Shipwreck ended another Gay Archipelago party started at Warehouse #69. The great DJ Karl Karlchek was at the deck with The Yifu's (Regi & Ty) as hosts.

I have only had the pleasure of hearing one of Karl's sets before and was expecting another awesome set. I was thrilled out of my socks.

Unfortunately the party was marred by the most horrendous gesturbation I have yet encountered outside a Bara Jonson performance of the Crashtest Dummies "mmmm mmmm mmmm"-song, but at those occasions the gesturbations cease after the song has ended, here they continued throughout the whole party.

It was impossible to see anything on the screen, so I reconciled myself with the facts that it wasn't possible to take pictures and that local chat was lost.

Jared in swim trunks, what a beautiful sight

I settled in to enjoy the great music and pleasant Instant Messages and used the opportunity to get better acquainted with handsome Jared Palianta. I also got involved with the upcoming funeral of a friends pet rat, which had passed away three years earlier and had been stored - carefully wrapped up - in the freezer until her boyfriend at long last lost patience and demanded a more suitable and permanent arrangement.

The best praise for Karl's music and the party was when my friend Butch said that he now felt human again, but what a pity it was that it happened at 1 AM.

I answered him, "Anytime you feel human is a good time you brilliant and sublime man!"

Opps! I missed this one of the threesome; not quite sure what is going on there...

The Finals of Mr. Gay 2012

Well, that was an ordeal I that will not forget soon.

Everything started out well. With the kind assistance of Garth Raleigh I got the landmark to the venue and arrived early to secure my spot an hour before the contest started.

I chose a seat close to the refreshments because one can never know how long these things last and the bar service is usually slow. if you can get any at all.

As usual the rest of the crowd started dropping in after the official start of the event, some gay men always need to make "an entrance!", it´s a sort of compulsive behavior that I believe could be connected with being gay. Either that, or they had been to the sim N District before and knew that it was lousy. 

With only 40 avatars on the sim and after 15 crashes or so and three sim restarts the event finally started about an hour and twenty minutes late.

Our MC for the evening was the always delightful Ms. Kharissa Indigo. She did a great job at handling everything that happened with her customary charm and calm.

My viewer kept acting up throughout the rest of the event.

I couldn't save pictures to my computer and crashed eleven times more, the first few times because I tried taking pictures and the rest of the time for no reason at all. Alas this meant that I could only take a few snapshots with lower than usual quality.

The final line up consisted of eight gorgeous guys. All selected by the patrons of a gay club in SecondLife.

We were presented with the guys in swimwear, fantasy outfits and formals intertwined with the men´s answers to - prepared or unprepared - questions at previous interviews.

The judges boiled the competitors down to the last three guys.

From left to right, Mr. [N] Club Geremy Pallis, Mr. Sexology Willstar Galatea and Mr. Warehouse #69 Ty Yifu.

Before the final declaration of the winner by the judges I had made up my mind of the order I placed the last three guys in. I had Ty as winner, followed by Willstar and then Geremy. Well that only goes to show, I should never be a judge at these competitions, because the winner was Geremy.

Ladies and gents, I present you with Mr. Gay 2012 Geremy Pallis! He was a little too boyish for my taste but I believe he won the contest with his excellent answers in the interviews.
