Pride 2015 - Day 2, The Pride Parade

Franny Dean had outdone herself again. There were something like 73 floats and balloons/blimps in this years Pride Parade, some improved from last year but many new ones too.

The parade is always a highpoint for me, I simply love them! This year there were some initial problems to get the floats and blimps to rez due to lag, but nothing major or unexpected considering the amount of avatars that had assembled on the East and Main sims.

Sadly enough many of the floats went on by empty, so finally I could not control myself anymore but had to jump on. I am a hands-on guy and cannot stand and watch. Please don't bash me for only showing mostly pictures of myself in this post.

Pride 2015 - Day 2, The McMillan Parade Ball

Dancing with Tomais in front of the beautiful Pride Globe
that Jak Calcutt has built for Second Pride

The second day of the Pride festival opened with the McMillan Parade Ball, an event sponsored by this blog, so of course I had to be there in my family tartan with my consort Tomais at my side.

DJ Kahvy with his host and spouse Garrett gave all of us who were there a wonderful time and a great warm-up for what was to come later in the day.

The photos above are by my friend Gigi Swansen, with whom I had the pleasure of dancing a couple of dances before she had to go off to work.

After Gigi left I asked my sweet Swedish friend Helene Dragoone for a few dances. She did me the honor of leading so I could just relax and enjoy the rest of the event.

I had a fabulous time and I hope all the others had as fun a time too.

SP Hugs 1

The Second Pride Festival is a great time to reconnect with old friends and make new ones, so I am going to continue my tradition from last year of - in my unashamed Swedish manner - going around hugging as many as I possibly can.

Kahvy Smith should have been first out, because I promised him a hug yesterday but I was too tired and forgot all about it. Instead the first one is of Petr Hastings-Vanbeek, whom I came across this morning as I was getting the SLurl for his store at the Festival.

Pride 2015 - Day 1

And we are off to a great start, the festival has kicked-off!

Yesterday I saw a pair of emerald shorts in my timeline on F*c*book that I simply had to have, they are so beautiful and only L$150. However, on Marketplace I saw that they were intended for the Niramyth mesh body so I put them out of my mind... for like 45 seconds. Then I went ahead and bought them anyway, but they didn't fit quite right with my regular body shape...

"Dammit!", I thought and proceeded to purchase the Niramyth body for something like L$2 766 just to get the shorts to fit properly. The rest of the evening - until the opening parties started - I had a team of helpers consisting of my hubby Tomais, my bro JJ Goodman and my friend Divos Titanium, for a short while we even recruited Stäväros Ğrăçємσûηт, trying to help me tint the damn body to suit my skin. After a while I got a new - more tanned - skin from Belleza (L$1 000) and a beard from EddiDesign (L$350) just to look somewhat presentable.

Well I was finally very happy in my beautiful shorts for only L$150, but to tired to take any pictures from the opening events, so I will direct you to some of my friends blogs instead.
