The New Barn at SC

All landowners feel the need to improve their real estate properties from time to time. This is also true for the Much Honored Bock McMillan, laird of Southern Charm, prince of Cascade Falls etc., etc.

The laird and his consort have entertained themselves with a project at the parcel in North Western corner of the Southern Charm sim, the barn.

The agreed upon goals before the project started was to beautify, modernize and - hopefully - cut down the LI ("land impact", i.e. in the old days "prims").
The old barn was replaced with a new one in mesh, some of the old stuff with nostalgic connotations were kept and reused, while others were removed and in some cases returned to their owners as the rights to move them had been lost.

One particular benefit of the new barn is that the new barn has a proper attic, which has been insulated for comfort both in hot and cold weather and has central heating and cooling installed. The lairds blogging office can now be used all year and not only in spring and fall.

Tomais Saves Zeus

After having attended a wonderful masqued ball at Dimi and Mark Tarantello's Venetian palazzo yesterday, I felt like being alone with my husband for a bit of heavy breathing. Little did I know...

When we arrived at our summer house we changed into appropriate attire, i.e. buttnaked, and decided that we would go out into the woods to play. As we arrived at the camping site my ever alert Tomais noticed that something was wrong and pointed it out to me.
The strait between the Zeus sim and our summer home was completely covered by globular prims that had been rezzed by a griefer - and kept on rezzing. The huge spherical prims went far up into the sky and deep down into the ground, covering most of the strait and much of the Zeus sim.

As Tomais started searching for the source of the attack (which was later located to a corner of the Zeus sim that was empty and listed as for rent), I pointed out to him that he was naked and would need to put something on before going over to handle the emergency.

My valiant and fearless superhero went right into the middle of the mess created by the griefer and located the source and also came up with a working solution on how to solve it.

The solution in this case, after it had turned out that Tomais despite having managerial rights could not return the objects belonging to the hacked account, was for someone to rent the parcel and with owner rights return the prims and disallow building.

Later when I talked with Tomais' brother Nikolai, he asked me if Tomais was wearing one of his superhero outfits while performing the heroic deed. I had to confess that he had not.

I made a mental note - as the superhero's official sidekick - to be more specific in my instructions in the future. Instead of just reminding him to get dressed I had to tell him to wear his Superman, Batman or any of the many other superhero outfits in his Inventory.

Rhino Writers to Attend SL10B

The gay SecondLife-bloggers group Rhino Writers will  attend the celebration of SecondLife's tenth birthday on June 23, 2013.

The Rhino Writers involvement in the celebrations came about through the ingenuity of Avacar Bluestar who sent in an application which was accepted by the organizers. Yesterday he, together with teno theriac, went to claim the parcel our group has received for the event.

Avacar has called the group to a meeting next Sunday June 2, 2013, at 12 PM (noon) SLT at the Rhino Writers HQ in SecondLife. The purpose of the meeting is to discuss and decide how we want to present ourselves at the event. Be there or be square!

It is a little unfortunate that this event happens to partly coincide with the Second Pride Festival, but hell we are men we can do it all!
The SL10B Community Celebration is Second Life’s 10th anniversary resident-run gala celebration, and it happens from June 16 to June 29. This year there will be 20 sims filled with art, exhibitions, information and events.

The theme for this years celebrations is "Second Life – Looking Forward, Looking Back".

For more information on the event please visit the official webpage SL10B Community Celebration (url).

Two Hot Blonds and Hundreds of Birds

I had never been to my buddy Ziggy´s new home since he moved recently, so I decided to crash him today. Due to past unfortunate and rather embarrassing experiences, I first checked the World Map to make certain that he wasn't "entertaining".

Ziggy shares the sim with two buddies, the partners Larz Kaz and Aeschylus Shepherd, but has his own parcel. The parcel is a beautiful tropical paradise with about 496 colorful birds all over the place and some huge turtles too and a lot of other creatures too I suspect although I did not spot them. It is a truly amazing place and very different from Ziggy's previous home in Second Norway

After Ziggy had shown me around his new house and the parcel we sat down by the fire for a nice chat. I was too lazy to plug in the voice so we talked in local chat for awhile before the lateness of the hour caught up with me and I had to log off to prepare for bed. 

One of the wonderful things Ziggy had laying on the beach was a huge tree trunk which was stacked with many great poses that I tried out and a lot that I did not even dare to try. The  tree was made by the famous and imaginative creator Regi Yifu of Regimade. The trunk was a complete beach home in itself and - as those who know Regi's work must already suspect - a sex-gen plaything also. We did not try any of those poses though, knowing Regi's work I am however certain that they are both sublime and thrilling.
