The Laird Bestows Princehood on Pook

In a solemn ceremony at Southern Charm today The Much Honored Bock McMillan, laird of Southern Charm, prince of Cascade Falls, Sovereign Ruler of the Commonwealth of Southern Enchantment Region and Outer Territories and finally UN appointed Protector of the Mount Whitney sim in SecondLife bestowed princely honors upon his son Pook Cypher.

H.R.H. Pook, Le Prince du Nord 

Pook, as you all may know, is a result of genetic experimentation whereby the DNA of the laird, his consort Tomais, Bre Czaroux and Erik Czaroux were mixed in a perfect combination.

Attending the ceremony were most of the princesses and princes of Southern Charm and all four of his fathers. 

At the ceremony the new prince also received the title of H.R.H. Pook, Le Prince du Nord.

Project -15: The Work Begins

On Wednesday my landscaper Samuel Fallen, of Lytton & Fallen, started work on the project. I first noticed that because I started getting offline messages about returned objects. Later on I also received a shopping list.

I was eager to log in to my SecondLife to see what had been done, so a few hours later I did just that. I am not lying when I tell you that you I almost fell out of my chair out of surprise and joy when I saw the master landscaper had been working on.

Samuel had in his very first day done accomplished everything I needed - or could have wished for - to justify my hiring of a professional landscaper.

Just look at the stairs leading up to the main entrance from the duck-pound. I hadn't even dreamed of anything like those stairs, but once I had seen them, they made p-e-r-f-e-c-t sense! I loved the rest of it too.

From now on I will put my worries aside and completely trust Samuel's instincts and professional ability to see what can be achieved and how it should be done.

We haven't yet found a perfect system for how to see to it that Samuel uses my objects so that I can work the HUD in the future. Our present system is that I buy the stuff that Samuel tells me to buy and I follow after him and replace the objects he has put out with mine. This means that Samuel has to do the same work twice, which is unfortunate and time consuming, because he then has to resize and replace my objects where he wants them to be.

Tomais Shows "Miscellanea" - Opening Today 1PM

Today, in about 30 minutes, there will be a grand opening of Tomais' exhibition "Miscellanea" at The Nilsart Gallery (SLurl). Musical entertainment by DJ Helene.

You are all  welcome!

Tomais Exhibits at The Nilsart Gallery

The talented photographer Tomais Ashdene (whom I am happy to refer to as my hubby) will have an exhibition at The Nilsart Gallery, owned and operated by Nils Ophelia and cyberserenity Vella.

The exhibition opens on Saturday January 10, 2015, and continues until March 31, 2015. The opening of the exhibition will be on Saturday 1 PM - 3 PM.

Musical entertainment at the opening will be provided by the charming DJ Helene Dragoone. Light refreshments and champagne will be served.

This is what Ms. Anna Lorentzson, blogger at "We create new worlds" has to say about the artist in her blog post today We create new worlds: The new exhibition at Nilsart gallery. Tomais Ashdene.:

Sometimes you find a artist that you just want to show to the world. Tomais Ashdene is such an artist. In his work I find more than just pictures of the Second life world. There are stories. What happened before or what happens after. It is not just the perfection in the technical work but the way he makes the image continue to explore his virtual life and the world around him. There are many good photographers in Second life but very few that make the pictures relevant even beyond the virtual self.

I couldn't have said it better myself if I had been asked, which of course most likely is the reason why I choose to quote Ms. Lorentzon.

The exhibition is called "Miscellanea".

#Dej3000Days

The Much Honored Bock McMillan, laird of Southern Charm, prince of Cascade Falls, Sovereign Ruler of the Commonwealth of Southern Enchantment Region and Outer Territories and finally UN appointed Protector of the Mount Whitney sims in SecondLife, today issued the following proclamation. 

"It is with great pleasure We today congratulate Dejerrity Mycron, Our brother and Our dearest friend, on his first 3.000 days in SecondLife.

Although Our sweet, crazy and supportive brother first rezzed into SecondLife on October 23rd, 2006, he doesn't look a day older than 2.000 days, We are certain that you will all agree.

It is therefor a great joy for Us to - in honor of Dej - proclaim this day a day of celebration of "Oldies but Goldies", in all of the territories under Our benevolent rule.

Though We cannot command it, We express the hope that all other realms who wish to maintain good relations with Us in the future follow us in this.

Happy #Dej3000Days to you all!"
