Björn Borg Says Da!

The Björn Borg Company (men's underwear) is now moving into the Russian market, starting with e-commerce. They have therefore an opening advertisement in today's Moscow Times, which is a business daily that is distributed free at 500 locations in Moscow and is primarily geared at traders.

"[The] opening ad is a way for us to reach the Russian public opinion. We have long advocated the equality of all levels. It is a human right to love and to love whoever you want, and we will mark it with the advertisement in the Moscow Times today", says Lina Soderqvist, Marketing Director at Björn Borg in a press release.

Happy Rezday Holter!

My friend Holter first rezzed in SecondLife on September 24, 2011, so this is only his second rezday.

Holter's partner Wayne invites everyone who knows Holter to come celebrate with them today at 6-8PM SLT.

I wish I could have celebrated this kind and caring man, but timezones are a bitch and I have to work tomorrow.

The Second Pride Rebuilding Project

After the Second Pride board meeting yesterday, which was calm and uneventful, those present were invited to a tour around the building site by the interim Build Director Jak Calcutt and his handyman Karl Kalchek, the Community Relations Director.

Thanking the genius while his husband jealously looks on

I was so impressed by what I saw on the tour that I later insisted on taking Butch and Dej back with me to take another look. (Do not expect any revealing pictures of the amazing buildings in this post because I have promised myself not to do that until the project is closer to being accomplished.)

Although I fully sympathize with and understand Karl's difficult position as overseer, source of inspiration and menial handyman to the brilliant builder during this harrowing process (as I had much the same role during the recent rebuilding of my own palatial mansion) I cannot help but falling in love a little with the brilliant and truly humble genius of Jak. 

Everything he does is extremely well thought through and inspired to be an even more beautiful and more functional new home for Second Pride itself and the non-profit organizations that are also housed there. I am so looking forward to seeing and showing you the result when the time comes.

I would like to take the opportunity to thank Jak and Karl again for their patience and for taking me, Dej and Butch on a new tour so soon after the first one.

Celebrating Marcus Steeplechase

On Monday September 23, 2013, at 7-9PM SLT, the first life birthday of Marcus Steeplechase will be celebrated with a two hour Special Cabaret Night in his honor.

The Marduk Theater has been put up again and you are invited to spend an evening with Marcus' friends and family to celebrate his life.

Marcus Steeplechase
★ October 20, 2006  -  †August 3 , 2013

Marcus was a friend and mentor to many in SecondLife and made friends easily. He was involved in many things and in his community. Marcus was also the co-owner of The Ironworks sim and club. One of Marcus' passions was theater and putting on Cabaret Evenings. The organizers have put together some of his favorite musical numbers and brought together some of his close friends to perform for you.

Take me to The Marduk Theater! (SLurl)

In October the Ironworks Club will be brought back and there will be a weeklong block of parties to celebrate the life and times of Marcus in SecondLife on the week of his rezday.

The organizers are looking forward to seeing you then as well. Look for future announcements!

The organizers have also informed me, that if you cannot attend the celebration, and wish to have something said or make a dedication you can send a note card to Sasch Petrov. Sasch will then read it on air for you.

Pair of Photos - A Photography Exhibition

When my ex-wife Iendi Laville, after the tragic annulment of our marriage, moved on to straight men she happened to stumble over the gorgeous Holy Archer (but only after I had pointed him out for her - or so I like to tell them both). It was a match made in the SecondLife heavens and the two are one of the loveliest couples I know.

They soon discovered that they both had a passion for photography in first life. When they compared their individual pictures they found some striking similarities between their works and as they looked further and deeper they found even more. The coupled photography of their combined work will now be exhibited together at Aake Roffo's art gallery on the Yadkin sim (SLurl).

The exhibition opens tomorrow, Monday September 23, 2013, at 12:00PM SLT, and continues until the end of October.

All the photography can be bought for 0 (zero) L$, but any contribution to the Relay For Life kiosk at the gallery is encouraged and welcomed.

Final Glimpse of Bocquerelle

While I was in the process of transforming from the radiant Bocquerelle to dull old Bock I just couldn't resist taking a final shot of myself in my Prestige Boots from Bax.

Just look at those gorgeous legs in the well fitting boots! I would like to thank the extremely pleasant, humorous and competent shop assistant Peace at the Bax Main Store for her invaluable assistance in fitting them.
