GA WinterFest Today: The FIGB Benefit Party

Fire Island Gay Beach, RGF Estates and Master S&M Estates invite you to party with us to celebrate the Gay Archipelago Winter Festival 2013 at the festival main stage.
We have DJ Korvon Zaver Staheli spinning the tunes for you from 9am to 12pm SLT with host Coy Nolan who will be pleased to welcome you.

After the party we join the live performance of Jaynine Scarborough, sponsored by Essences & {S0NG} mainstores.

The donations and tips of the party will be forwarded to the Lefevre & Hernandoz Foundation for the Aids-Hilfe Essen e.V. as with previous events too.

I first misread this and thought that this event was at 9PM SLT and was sad to miss it, but now I know its at 9AM I most certainly will be there!

My sincere apologies to the organizers for the late publication.

The New Gazebo

After the ball at SP my lover Tomais took me to look at a gazebo. I fell in love with it immediately and have now set it up by the ice-skating area.

To get away from the cold we teleported to Tom's place, which is located at a milder latitude, and prepared our Holiday photo. I was able to follow part of the work-process when Tom shared his screen with me on Skype. 

 

It had been a long day so Tom tucked me in and put me to bed around 2AM (my local time). There are a couple of noteworthy things in the picture below...

A Man's Best Friend & Other Tinies

Spanki and Guyke start fooling around

Tomais follows their lead with his cute dog avatar

Dog notices man

Man notices dog

Dog and man get closer, the angry penguin joins

Dog turns into a furry bear and gets mans full attention, penguin fumes

Man turns into mammoth and dog into Halloween bear

Tootsie Nootan and I (in my tawny leopard tiny). This is the first time Tootsie is taller than I am

Millimina Approves!

I am studying my beautiful loved ones and trying to guess what is going on between them

Dimi & Mark Tarantello, DJ Sarco, Tomais and Millimina

Yesterdays SP Winter Ball took place in the beautiful ballroom that the amazing Jak Calcutt, SP Build Director, has set up in a magnificent castle over the Second Pride sim.

Jak must have had his little helper Karl Kalchek, SP Community Relations Director, polishing the floor for weeks. It was so shiny in fact that I was relieved that I did not go commando in my family tartan, which had been one of my clothing options for this illustrious evening.

Dej and I

Tomais and Guyke

My sister Millimina dropped in unannounced and unexpectedly to give Tomais the third degree. Both parties were extremely discreet, however Millimina later informed me that my chosen lover had been vetted and met with her approval. Jubilation!
