Gallery Assis - Experience Erotica

On Sunday afternoon (local time) I visited Eli Wallace's art gallery "Gallery Assis - Experience Erotica" (SLurl) in SecondLife.

The first thing to take in when you get there is the futuristic and beautiful architecture of the gallery itself.

The second is to make sure you find all the wonderful art photography that is exhibited there. The interior of the building is wonderfully confusing and made me think of the refrain of an old Dr. Hook song:
"And when your body's had enough of me
And I'm laying flat out on the floor
When you think I've loved you all I can
I'm gonna love you a little bit more"

The gallery exhibits many artists without bias towards sexual orientation. Yesterday there were at least three-four gay or lesbian photographers and even more heterosexual and/or unclear ones. I will show you a little of what can be seen there, but not any individual piece, because I want you all to visit and experience the gallery and the art for yourself.

Meanwhile, at The Red Square in Moscow...

Pyotr Pavlensky, a Russian performance artist, today stripped naked and nailed his scrotum to a Red Square cobblestone. The performance is called "Freeze".

The artist sitting naked outside Lenin's Mausoleum in
Moscow, Russia, before police covered him with a blanket.

The Saint Petersburg-based artist said in a statement posted on the Grani.ru website that he was trying to draw attention to Russian society's development into a 'police state'.

Update 11/12/13: The video is taken down by YouTube with a peculiar statement of reasons.

Pyotr now faces up to 15 days of administrative arrest for disorderly conduct.

A Child Is Born

The most loveable badboy of the SecondLife gay community, or the part of it that I know, Ziggy Starsmith yesterday revealed a sensational story on his - yet again - reborn blog "Ziggy On The Edge Of Second Life....".

Believe it or not, but Ziggy is now a father! Although Ziggy on his blog claims that the wonderful 11lb (5 kg), blond and blue eyed, bundle of joy is adopted, rumors have it that Ziggy actually gave birth to the sweet boy himself. The delivery was supposedly gruesome until the gay-hating doctor finally relented and allowed a cesarean to be performed.

Its a wonderful world when miracles like this occur. Ziggy is said to be contemplating writing a book or a blog entitled "From Wild to Mild. A gay single father's guide to responsible parenting in SecondLife".

I am not a rumormonger so I will spare you from the speculations about who the father may be, suffice it to say that it is a fact that a certain well known blond male avatar lives in the blue mansion ("Villa Kakelbont") you see in the picture above, incidentally just across the road from Ziggy's home...

Meeting A Unicorn

Today I had my first meeting alone with a unicorn. Well, to be honest, we have met briefly before and I have known and admired him from a safe distance. He took me for a ride and I am hoping it was not the last time.

A few hilarious things happened (that I am not going to tell you about) but the basis has been laid for a long and beautiful ride.

Actions Have Consequences

My brief modelling career for a poster for the BM Ballroom turned out to have some unexpected ramifications. When I was leaving the photo shoot I poked my modelling partner Eeva Rasmuson and the demon photographer Kahvy Sands.

Both of them now claim to be carrying my unborn children. This is what Eeva tells me in an offline message, "Bock you should really be careful when you poke...now see what you did!!!"

[07:37] Paternity test: Processing......

[07:38] Paternity test: Congratulations! The father of your unborn DAUGHTERS is: Bock McMillan!

[07:38] Ⓔενα: omg

[07:38] Kahvy Sands: Wait... daughterS?

[07:38] Ⓔενα: He has been busy poking us 

[07:38] Kahvy Sands: You're having twins!

[07:38] Ⓔενα: OMG

[07:38] Ⓔενα faints

Perhaps I should consider wearing a condom when I poke in the future, but I was thinking this was just some innocent fun... Who would have thought it would come to this?

Visit to Mirromere

Today I went for a visit with my Ars. I had some things to think about and Mirromere has always been the place I feel closest to him. I had a good think through there and some things were settled in my mind.

Afterwards I took a walk around the beautiful sim and found a place I had never seen there before, high up in the tree tops, and just relaxed and enjoyed the wonderful view of Mirromere glowing in all its autumn colors.

Please, Say It Ain't So

Today I woke up after a wonderful nights sleep, made coffee and sat down by my computer to read the morning paper where I had a bad awakening.

One of the top headlines, just a little after reports of the super-typhoon Haiyan and its distressing path of death and destruction in Southeast Asia, there was an article with the headline "Fältskog Open to ABBA Reunion".

Seemingly the Swedish singer Agnetha Fältskog, in an interview with the German weekly Welt am Sonntag, has let it slip that a reunion is "of course something we are thinking about" to celebrate the fortieth anniversary of the band's song Waterloo (with which they won the Eurovision Song Contest in 1974).

The world of music has scarcely had time to recover from the last time they were around. It seems we must hope that Benny Andersson stands firm in his resolve. Benny a year ago said,"No, we no longer exists. We have not been around since 1982."

I always thought that Benny seemed like the sanest and most level headed of the former band members. Stay strong, Benny!
