SL10B The 20+ Exhibition

My dear friends Vampi Twine DeSantis-McMillan-McMillan (honorary), Sergeant at Arms sirhc DeSantis-McMillan and Gittrika Mint also have an exhibition at SL10B. They had an opening party yesterday which I unfortunately could not attend because - of course - the two major events in my SecondLife have to coincide this year.

So I went to have a look at it today instead, you can also visit it here; Your limousine to 20+ (SLurl). It was an interesting experience and a lot of fun. I was not aware that Gittrika is a sculpture in SecondLife, so there was yet another revelation about a friends talents.

After having seen the 20+ exhibit I walked around to get a look at some of the other exhibitions when I was suddenly hailed by some other friends, Carol Morpork (nee Pixelmaid,) and her husband Timothy Morpork. It was good seeing them both again and we had a pleasant chat, among other things I and Carol compared notes on Timothy's kissing-abilities (Excellent, we both agreed) since I had attacked him on one of the previous Kiss-A-Swede Days and stolen a lovely kiss.

Butch Diavolo & Spanki Moulliez

Tor (tor.rhiannyr)

Yes, I know this is cheating on my own rules, but Tor was showing off some special talents so how could I not include him?

Retraction

On Saturday, there was a post on Bock in SecondLife entitled “At the Gay Nation Set” where we incorrectly stated that Mr. Butch Diavolo, the well-known SecondLife DJ and an extremely handsome, humorous and charming male avatar to boot, congregated at the venue with a multitude of ex-lovers.

Although our reporter at the time, through the documentation supplied to him, may have believed this to be true a closer examination of the documentation provided has shown that these allegations are entirely false. As far as we know today (through a source very close to Mr. Diavolo) only three (3) ex-lovers can be confirmed.

In this situation it is my duty and obligation as editor in chief of Bock in SecondLife to offer our sincerest apologies to Mr. Diavolo for publishing the false information. We are truly sorry for any pain or other inconvenience the publication may have caused Mr. Diavolo or his reputation as an honest and upstanding male avatar.

The story leaked to our reporter was obviously from a lesser man and motivated by jealousy over Mr. Diavolo’s prowess as a lover and/or success as a DJ. If it were possible I would fire the reporter, but he is the only one we have and he also happens to be myself.

We are sure that our readers and stockholders, who have always supported us, will understand that this was an honest mistake and stick by us now and look forward to a bright future together with them.

Good Nicknames for Andrew

I have a close family member in SecondLife who has recently fallen in-love in first life with a man named Andrew.

The only problem with this love is a silly minor detail, that he already has a brother named Andrew, who is called Andy He therefor needs to come up with a new nickname for his lover, so that he doesn't feel incestuous at those very special.moments in time when they are "close".

I am of course always at my friends side and try to help them as best I can, so here are a few of my best suggestions.

1. Androoooooo
2. A-man
3. Drew
4. Dru
5. Dre
6. Dewey
7. Dewbury
8. Big-A (or is it should fit better Lil-A)
9. Drey
10. Pumpkin
11. Pudding
12. Twinkle-toes
13. Sugar-bun
14. Sweetheart
15. A-darlin'
16. Pooh-bear
17. Bigboy
18. Crunchy
19. Oy-whadsya-name
20. Pandy
21. Toots
22. Bam-Bam
23. OhMy (Quote from George Takei)
24. Precious (Quote from Gollum)

He could also try this nickname generator "What Is Your Nickname"which - after receiving answers to a few questions - comes up with a suggestion.

This is what the generator suggested as a nickname for me: McAwesome

Do you have any helpful suggestions? I am sure he would appreciate all sincere suggestions!

Thrilling Observation

Since the operation of my eye yesterday I have realized that the world is a far more colorful place than I knew before.

I saw colors earlier also, but they were nowhere as strong and vibrant. As you may have observed I can also read well enough to blog without any correctional aid, although it is a strain on my eye and I get tired quickly. Once my eye has settled (in about 4-6 weeks they say) I can get a prescription for new glasses/lenses to correct my astigmatism and I will see better than ever.

SL10B - The Spanki Moulliez Exhibition

One of the best thing about SecondLife is the creativity that more-or-less  every avatar you know displays. Sometimes it gets very apparent to me that all my friends and  acquaintances are extremely talented in one way or another.

One such insight came to me the day before yesterday when I visited the Rhino Writers pavilion at SL10B with my friend Butch. It turns out that just across the road from that my friend Spanki Moulliez has an exhibition also.

I have known Spanki for ages, literally ages, but he has been hiding his light under a bushel, so I did not discover until Butch took me to his exhibition that not only is he one of the most handsome men in SecondLife but he is also a  master photographer, it completely blew me away!

I highly recommend everyone to drop in at SL10B Spanki Moulliez (SLurl) for a visit, and then go to his permanent exhibition somewhere else in SecondLife. (I will add the landmark to his permanent exhibition as soon as I get it.)

Spanki, do your thing in comments, please!
