SP Elections: Last Chance to Vote!

The Second Pride elections end today at 12 AM (midnight) SLT. If you want a chance to influence the selection of Marketing Director and Building Director you need to get your vote in.

The candidates for Marketing Director are
1. Jimmy Augustus-Gracemount (jimmmmmy) url or
2. Kaiden Brandt (Kalculate) url

The candidates for Building Director are
1. Sтαятєя Ɛνєηѕтαяя (starter232) url or
2. Dҽʋιɳ Kɳιɠԋƚ Dɾαƙσɳ (devindevin1111) url

(The url's lead to each of the candidates statements at the Second Pride website)

How to decide whom to vote for
So how do you choose whom to vote for?

There are multiple techniques used by voters throughout democratic history to decide on whom they vote.

A) Beauty Pageant/Talent Pageant
This technique is mostly used by people who are completely uninterested in politics or ideology. They look at the pictures of the different candidates and decide on that fact alone which candidate they will vote for.

"They have beautiful hair/eyes/body/nails/feet", "They are so sexy", "I don't like their eyes, they look mean" or "I would do them", are the answers you most often get when you ask the voters how they decided.

B) Relationship
This method is usually used by voters more interested in relationships than politics/ideology. They will rather vote for someone they or their friends known and like than someone they don't know, and definitely, rather than someone they or their friends dislike for whatever transgression/reason through the history of mankind.

"I know them, they are an asshole", "They are good people", "My friend says they are batshit crazy and drama-seekers", "Their partner is a friend of my friend and they are so nice" or "variations of "The enemy of my enemy is my friend".

C) Analytical
This method is used by people who don't give a shit about anything else than if the person is qualified for the job. These are the people that will read the candidate statements and decide based mainly on that, and maybe check their references or previous work history.

"I trust they can do the job", "They seem to be qualified enough", "I've seen their work before and they seem trustworthy", "They seem to have the right priorities", "I like how they think".

D) Haphazard/Lottery
This method is good when everything else fails and you still see the choices as equally good or if all the above methods fail.

Flip a coin, and let that decide.

"I don't know any of them", "They both look great", "Both of them see qualified to do the job"

There now you do not have an excuse not to vote. Get the f*** off your ass and teleport to the Polling Place (SLurl) at the second pride sim.

VOTE! VOTE! VOTE!

The 1920's Berlin Project - 6th Anniversary

Frau Jo Yardley is inviting us all to help celebrate the 6th anniversary of one of the best known and longest lasting projects in SecondLife, The 1920's Berlin Project.

I for one will drop by during the coming week and check it out again. I have been there before a few times and have always enjoyed the friendly atmosphere.

Besides, who knows whom you may stumble across when visiting and enjoying yourself there. It is well known that the venerable Frau Yardley has the attention of Ebbe Linden and probably lots of other important people and residents too. 

Frau Yardley's dedication and hard work on this project should be an inspiration to us all on what can be - and has been - done in our wonderful world.
On May the 30th 2009 I opened the door to a little very basic, noob build bar and let the public in for the first time. The 1920's Berlin Project was born!
Only 3 months after joining Second Life, barely understanding how to glue prims together, I had started something that would soon grow into a vibrant active community of wonderful people.
And there is more to come… But first we need to celebrate the 6th (!) anniversary of our little neighborhood and we’re doing this by organizing 6 days of fun events and inviting everyone to come visit.
You can find 1920's Berlin by clicking this link: Berlin (SLurl) 
We look forward to seeing lots of familiar but also new faces visiting us.
Prosit!
Jo Yardley

Several of our tenants will also the doors to their private apartments and an ‘Open House’ sign will show you where you can enter and explore how the people in the city live. 

The regular 1920's dress code is in place but being allowed to have a peek inside normally private residences is a lot of fun.

Saturday, May 30
01:00 PM SLTKids’ Pogo Stick race with prizes!

Wednesday, June 3
All day: Relaxed Rules Day. On this day we forget the 1920's Dress code for 24 hours and welcome all kinds of avatars. So if you are interested in visiting our sim but were not keen on wearing 1920's clothes or just don’t feel comfortable with a human avatar, this is your chance to walk around without our cops coming running after you.

But be warned! We also allow our tenants to ignore all the other rules of the sim and this usually means they will go a little nuts…

My First Pageant In SecondLife

Yesterday I attended my first pageant show in SecondLife. Marcus Lefevre, the owner and organizer of Miss SL, had kindly extended an invitation to Tomais and myself to be present at the press presentation of the event. The real event will occur in a fortnight.

As Tomais had first life duties to take care of, I went off to the event on my own. I was still there when I was joined by my Tomais three hours later. (The organizers have realized that the length of the event is a problem and are taking steps to insure that it will be substantially shorter for the final in two weeks time.)

Although it was an extremely long event by SecondLife standards, I must say it was both fascinating and enjoyable for the most part, even if I am not a true fashionista like my bosom buddy Apmel Goosson (who was busy attending another fashion event at the same time, the Penumbra Fashion Week).

The presenters at the show were a hoot with their fun bantering, my special favorite being Diana Balthaus who is an avid profile-perv like myself.

I took about half a million snapshots at the event, but in this post I will limit myself to just a few of the girls in the pageant, so as not to spoil your fun at the finals, and a little eye candy for gay men that I spotted in the crowd attending the function.

At the end of the function Marcus made a speech in which he - among other things - announced the upcoming Mr SL 2016 event.
This asymmetric dress was popular among many of the
contestants, in several imaginative combinations  
This turban/hat/bonnet was one of the most popular accessories among the contestants.
I am most certainly getting this red one or maybe the black for my Bocquerelle drag outfit.
One of my my favorites, Miss Japan

And now for the eye-candy that got me a bit distracted during the pageant.
My special favorite, the security guard (straight alas) *deep sigh*
A hot spectator
Marcus Aurelius, my Norwegian buddy - looking stunning

It's Saint Lucio's Day

And it's December 13th again, which means its the annual day for celebrating the saint Lucia from Syracuse in some of the Nordic countries.

In the Commonwealth of Southern Enchantment the day has been masculinized to Saint Lucio's day. This is the day when the laird runs around in the traditional white garb of the saint and wears the appropriate headdress with candles.
For those who wish to witness a more traditional Swedish Saint Lucia pageant you have the opportunity later today at Kicki's Jetty.

Kicki Springflower invites you all to her jetty for a proper Saint Lucia pageant at 1 PM SLT. After the pageant there will be some frivolous dancing.

Your sledge to Kicki's Jetty (SLurl).
