Second Pride Festival Starts Today

The Second Pride Festival 2016 starts today!

This is going to be so fun and exciting! I'm sure it will be "the best Pride ever", somehow that is mostly the feeling I walk away with at the end of every festival.

Just being there, meeting the people you like but still haven't seen much of since last Pride because our timezones are different and our circles don't overlap. Every year it is also exciting to make new friends - who may become "Pride friends" but, with any luck, closer.

Bock in SecondLife is going to be there - of course - and I will eagerly report back to you almost everything I encounter, but perhaps a bit more sparsely this year as I will not start my vacation until Midsummer's Eve, which is next Friday.

To celebrate the Pride Festival I have made a blog header of my own, I forgot to consult my clever and talented husband Tomais in time. I am graphically challenged but it will suffice for the coming nine days.

I hope to see you all at Bock in SecondLife's booth at Second Pride South or at the blog's event on this Saturday, 2-4PM SLT, when I and Kahvy are starting a new tradition - hopefully - with this event.

The Pine Valley Haunted Ball, Today 1-5PM SLT

"Starting with a stunning live performance by Inchino - Chi -Melson: 

Chi started her musical training at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London. While she performs many styles of music (including blues, soul and pop), jazz is her musical home. The heartfelt, deeply personal, story-telling nature of the music appeals to her inner poet, romantic and dramaqueen! 

This Jazzy singer has everyone mesmerized when she let's her honey-sweet voice dazzle the crowd! 

Her Rare performances are very much sought after! You can be there!

DJ Kahvy will give you a Ballroom Set after her dazzling performance! 

Special Halloween themed Ballroom Music for a great Ballroom dance that will entertain Couples and Singles all the same! 

A Ballroom Latin Dancer in Reallife, Kahvy has spent a lot of time learning about danceanimations in Second Life and the music to play with them. That means he can match the music to the stocked intan! From Quickstep to ChaCha, Kahvy Plays music for all 10 Ballroom Standard & Latin Dances! He'll grab you and your avatar, and make you dance! Dancing in Second Life never felt more real! It's an interactive experience rather then just listening to the Radio! He'll make you work for it, and enjoy it even more! 

When the Ball is done, we have a smashing Afterparty, SMITHBOYS Style! Campy fun Club mixes of all those famous tunes we all know mixed with some haunting fun music!!! 
Hosts Garrett and Kimly know just how to rock that party hard! Both have worked Famous Secondlife Venues including Secondpride, Boystown, Muddy's, the 80's Club and more, working with famous DJ's all over the grid!!! With the Smithboys pinch you will have a guarenteed PARTY! 

Special Give-aways from Powerdesign, one of SL's premier jewelry makers on the grid, including outfits, jewelry and fireworks! 

You can not miss out on this party!!!! Fun - Quality Goodies - Photography - Music ... All for your entertainment!!! 

Dress to impress but everything goes!!!! make it as wild as you can imagine!!! Try to keep scriptcounts at reasonable levels.

Pride 2015 - Day 2, The McMillan Parade Ball

Dancing with Tomais in front of the beautiful Pride Globe
that Jak Calcutt has built for Second Pride

The second day of the Pride festival opened with the McMillan Parade Ball, an event sponsored by this blog, so of course I had to be there in my family tartan with my consort Tomais at my side.

DJ Kahvy with his host and spouse Garrett gave all of us who were there a wonderful time and a great warm-up for what was to come later in the day.

The photos above are by my friend Gigi Swansen, with whom I had the pleasure of dancing a couple of dances before she had to go off to work.

After Gigi left I asked my sweet Swedish friend Helene Dragoone for a few dances. She did me the honor of leading so I could just relax and enjoy the rest of the event.

I had a fabulous time and I hope all the others had as fun a time too.

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 Today, 2-4 PM SLT

Big Momma's Ballroom (SLurl)

Don't forget your crown jewels...

A Man's Best Friend & Other Tinies

Spanki and Guyke start fooling around

Tomais follows their lead with his cute dog avatar

Dog notices man

Man notices dog

Dog and man get closer, the angry penguin joins

Dog turns into a furry bear and gets mans full attention, penguin fumes

Man turns into mammoth and dog into Halloween bear

Tootsie Nootan and I (in my tawny leopard tiny). This is the first time Tootsie is taller than I am

Millimina Approves!

I am studying my beautiful loved ones and trying to guess what is going on between them

Dimi & Mark Tarantello, DJ Sarco, Tomais and Millimina

Yesterdays SP Winter Ball took place in the beautiful ballroom that the amazing Jak Calcutt, SP Build Director, has set up in a magnificent castle over the Second Pride sim.

Jak must have had his little helper Karl Kalchek, SP Community Relations Director, polishing the floor for weeks. It was so shiny in fact that I was relieved that I did not go commando in my family tartan, which had been one of my clothing options for this illustrious evening.

Dej and I

Tomais and Guyke

My sister Millimina dropped in unannounced and unexpectedly to give Tomais the third degree. Both parties were extremely discreet, however Millimina later informed me that my chosen lover had been vetted and met with her approval. Jubilation!

Second Pride Inaugural Ball

Second Pride is having a Inaugural Ball on Sunday September 16, 2012, at 04:00 PM SLT.

This is a Second Pride fundraiser so bring your wealthy friends along! Here is your chance to meet the newly elected Second Pride board members and the newly elected Second Pride Foundation board members.

I am sure it will be a wonderful evening - for those on the American continents!

I was planning to go with my friend Carson Darkstone but when I realized that it starts at 1 AM on Monday morning (my time) I am afraid I will not be able to make it.

Your limousine to the ball!
