Meeting Beelly

Yesterday I met my nephew Beelly Blanco for the first time in-world. Lets see how do I explain best how we are related in SecondLife?

You already know of my Ars´s brother Andrey Messmer, my BIL (brother in-law). Well, Beelly is the son of another of Andrey´s brothers, hence he is my nephew by marriage. Got it?

I was very happy when I got an IM from Beelly while I was at a celebration of Sweden´s National day before my own upcoming happening (The 1st International Kiss-A-Swede Day in SecondLife).

Beelly had seen my posts about this on Facebook and wanted to collect on his kiss early because he lives in Australia and it was getting very late for him. Of course I was very happy to oblige him, so I immediately sent him a teleport to where I was.

As soon as he landed I pounced on him and gave him a nice big kiss, to our and the rest of the guests enjoyment. Then we had a pleasant conversation for a few minutes before I sent him off to bed.

The International Kiss-A-Swede Day in SecondLife

Well the long awaited day is finally here, today is Sweden´s National Day and I have also declared it to be the first annual International Kiss-A-Swede Day in SecondLife.

My beautiful sister Millimina and I have been moisturizing, lubricating and exercising our lips the last few days to give you the kiss you would expect.

The two of us -  and perhaps a few more Swedish avatars (untrained) - will be waiting for the world to come to us for a kiss between 12 (noon) - 2PM.

Oh, I just remembered, there may also be very sexy short Gothic styled hausfrau/security officer/club owner if she is able to secure permission from her hubby "the Big Cat" to take part...

Welcome all!

Take me to the kiss-fest! (SLurl)

To see how a real kiss is done, you can always WATCH THIS! But any and all improvisations are welcome...

Grooving at Sunset

Almost every Sunday morning 10 AM - 12 PM (noon) you can find me and a gang of friends hanging out on Circe´s Sunset Jazz Club for the "Coffee and Pajamas Jazz Show with Elfay Pinkdot".

I go there for the good music, the excellent chat and banter in local and of course the wonderful music Elfay´s plays for us. Ars always used to say that Elfay is one of the best professional DJ´s he heard in SecondLife. We went there together all the time and it´s always a great comfort for me to go there.

Today I had a slight headache when I went there, fortunately Elfay was spinning excellent mellow guitar music, so by the time we finished my headache was almost gone

Neither Circe, Carol or Joetonight were there today but I am hoping they will all be there next time.

 

Second Pride 1st Annual Photo Contest

I have earlier informed you that the board of Second Pride had started a photo contest for Second Pride 2011. 

The day before yesterday this notice was sent out in the Second Pride group: 
Second Pride invites professional and non-professional photographers in SL to submit their work to the 1st Edition of Second Pride Annual Photo Contest. Traditional, contemporary, avant-garde, creative and experimental works that include old and new processes, mixed techniques, and challenging personal, emotional or political statements are welcome.

What are the hallmarks of a winning picture in SPAPC? Technical quality, clarity, composition but also a flair for the unexpected and an ability to capture a picture-perfect moment. Enter photographs in any of our four categories:
-        Festival sim
-        Events
-        Outfits
-        AIDS Quilt

Then, you can compete to win cash prizes as well as the opportunity to have your work printed in Prism magazine (+ an interview) and exhibited in an SL Gallery.

The contest is open until June 30th, 2011 at 12:00 PM SLT. The Second Pride judges (the Board) will post the best of the incoming entries in the photo Gallery of our web site. Finalists will be announced on August 1st, 2011. Winner will be announced by September 15th, 2011.

It seems the board has now decided to make the contest annual and alsoto offer alternative ways to submit your contributions to the contest.

Both of the boards decisions are excellent!

I actually created an account on Flickr for the purpose of submitting my pictures to the group. Everytime I tried to do that I got a message from Flickr that I wasn't allowed to do that for several specific reasons that made no sense at all. I am sure I screwed up in some way so I had given up on the idea after 20 tries. Now I may reconsider.

Did Y´all Hear the ★THUD★...

...when my brilliant idea yesterday about making June 6th the International Kiss-A-Swede Day in SecondLife hit the ground?

Well, it didn't really fly with the Swedes this year it seems, because I didn't get any volunteers for my little project - not yet anyway.

Although that was a bit disappointing let me tell you straight away, I will take on the kiss-starved masses of SecondLife on my own if must be. We McMillan´s don´t quit easily and it was not by chance that I stayed happily married for more than two years to a man who proclaimed himself to be the most pigheaded man in both worlds.

So Monday June 6th between 12 PM (noon) and 2 PM I will be on the northwest corner of the Southern Charm sim (SLurl will be posted on this blog on Monday) to make my self available to any human, demon, angel, furry, dragon, ghoul, orc or whatever may come around to celebrate the first annual International Kiss-A-Swede Day in SecondLife.

The radio will be streaming the awesome music of DJ Sarco.

Calling All Swedes in SecondLife

So I was a bit bored and came up with this crazy idea that we should do something special for the Swedish National day, since I haven´t heard of anything else being planned.

I know someone else has created a Kiss-A-Swede Day on a date that no Swede could ever remember (April 24th I think) but to my mind the real International Kiss-A-Swede Day has to be on June 6th, that´s the coming Monday.

I am now calling on all Swedes in SecondLife who would like to share the pleasure with me of kissing every International guest that comes to the party between 12 PM (noon)-2 PM.

As I am guessing many of them will be heterosexuals I need both men and women that are just that - or can play act well enough - and also lesbian women. More gay men would be great too - so I have someone to share the burden of servicing the gay guys.

I was thinking the event would take place on my sim Southern Charm in the northwest corner where the party-barn is.

If you are willing to have some fun please drop a note card on my profile or send me an e-mail at Bock´s e-mail with your full SecondLife name a.s.a.p.

I will try to get back to you with more information at the latest on Sunday (I will be away in RL on Saturday). Please feel free to inform your friends and groups of this event in any way.

Bara´s Release Party

Bara on stage

 

The cloud is Chaplin Early. He doesn't like his picture taken.
as you may remember from my series "Naked avatars in SL"

A guy named Galen Spot (Great legs huh?)

My beautiful sister Millimina and I having a good time

Bara Jonson finally released his long awaited album "Lost in America... Somewhere" with a release party at the wonderful Gimle venue, owned and operated by Iendi Laville and Apollon Allen.

Bara sang and played his guitar to us who where there or listening in on the stream; some songs acoustically, some songs to back tracks from the new album and some even in duet with his son young son Kris. Let me tell you at once, this album was well worth waiting for!

You can buy the full album here.

The audience at the sim where mostly Scandinavians but we had a thoroughly great time.
