Harriet Parker has been enjoying her life as mum looking after Harriet junior. She finally managed to get her out on a staycation break in Second Life.
She is wearing a cute summer dress from IM Collection and just enjoying life.
After all that’s the only holiday the year 2020 is allowing.
There is no plot to today’s video. No outcome, no message.
Only that it’s fun to pretend and be someone else now and then in the current environment.
Harriet is slowly coming to reality…..but now the video.
I’m sitting here in basically the same position as my virtual image, drinking coffee and watching the news. I start work soon and although it’s Yay it’s Friday I’m also feeling exhausted.
You see it’s summer, and if you follow me, you will be aware of my previous moans. The cats!!!!
3.30am, 4am, 5am etc till I got up , MEEOOOW!!!
I’m soooooo weary and already feeling hot as we due to have 33 temperatures today.
Would it be ok you think if I sat in a ice bath working?
Sometimes I think the best works are the ones we don’t think too much about.
This dance video I just knew I wanted something warm, and with a romantic feel where I could dance. Along came Rosie and rezzed this for me,
The rest is in the seeing.
I always feel incredibly fortunate to work alongside Jonny the owner of Paragon Dance Animations.
I’m not the best videographer out there, mainly because my machine is feeling it’s age lately . However he keeps me close and I will always be around to film the new dances coming out.
Freestyle dance performance capture by social media star Sara Lopez, who combines elements of all her years of training of ballet, contemporary, jazz, flamenco, hip hop and funk into her personalized style of heels dance.

I have been in my own zone this weekend. Relaxing from the virtual world and just doing me.
Today I’m introducing reality me to the throw but with a twist.
I’m doing a social experiment in real life and I wanted to tell you all about it.
Yes you will have to watch the video, as that is the whole point. You have to see the visual behind this experiment to understand the actual experiment.
Let me know your thoughts after because I sure have many myself.

I credit my mum for the cheekbones as its a family trait.
I also credit my mum for my amazing hair and chirpy disposition despite all things that are in the world to bring us down.
My youthful skin is courtesy of regular use of Oil of Olay and using baby bum wipes to wipe makeup off.
My eyes are a result of eating all the carrots I was told to when I was younger under the belief I would go blind if I didn’t. Fact though, I’m still as blind as a bat!
Essentially I credit myself for just looking amazing on an app. After all I had to push the buttons!!!!
Mostly I credit the company who came up with the FACE APPwho have now confused me and made me think about this social experiment just to see how far it will go.
I’ve been awake a few hours but decided to have a luxury lay in and just relax a bit before I leap up like a ninja to the day.
Yesterday I took my break from SL, only logging to check a few things. It feels good to take breaks as often saturation can also be a negative, no matter how good things usually are.
Lately I’ve had a few angsty moments which I won’t discuss, but suffice to say sometimes you need detachment in order to feel better about situations.
So, I enact detachment in order to let things reassemble and feel better.
I do this in reality as well often, because removing yourself from a situation is often the best way to see the perspective. Try it sometime, it does work.
Today I’m not sure what I have planned. I decided to make none. Let things just flow and see what the day brings.
But first, time to make a coffee and see what’s for breakfast.

Today starts the wearing of masks which have become compulsory now in shops and closed spaces.
Bit late in the day if you ask me,
I’ve sat here wondering why it wasn’t considered as imperative last week as it suddenly is today.
Who am I to ask such a question?
Boris chuckles Johnson must know what he is doing? Surely?
He must have had inside info that today the virus suddenly can jump into our faces whereas last week it couldn’t?
I’ve got a box full of those bad boys which I am not looking forward to wearing. But will when I am supposed to.
I’m glad in our virtual worlds we can feel a little more relaxed and safer meeting up with people and sharing hugs. I frankly am quite glad there is somewhere to escape from our stark reality.
I’m home again today for boiler trouble. That old gift that keeps on giving.
Honestly I’m just one boiler away from deciding to give up this modern life and just live with cold water and no heating.
People do it . It used to be normal. So maybe I should adopt that as my new lifestyle anyhow. Saves all the trauma if I just get used to it. Plus it would save on bills that are lets face it getting astronomical.
But as I’m not the only one living here. I can’t.
Alas chained to modern life partially kicking and screaming. Also slave to my own desire for comforts. Aren’t we all!
When they walk the Mile, it’s the walk to the inevitable.
There is no choice and once that path is set it’s towards the end.
Whatever reasons many have walked that path, the outcome is often very questionable given it’s the finality.
There have been many who have faced that finality that should not have. Innocent but found guilty.
The subject of the death penalty certainly is one that has many different reactions. There is no real wrong or right. But certainly when man takes the decision to kill another for justice, is he always right?
Sergio Delacruz has replicated this in Sansar. All I can say is wow!!!
It’s an amazing build and you certainly should check it out and you will understand the feeling you get.
I am never one to vlog usually avatars or such like. Mainly because I tend to be the most useless soul when putting things together.
I cannot ever pretend to be an expert, just in case someone comes bellowing and asking me how I did such and such. Frankly some days I tend to wing it.
Really, The truth.
Today I am showing you Alexa a Transgender Bento avatar full Bakes on mesh in second life. Pretty impressive and frankly, I dont think I have seen another full version of one in Second Life to this standard.
Dont take my word for it, try the demo if you want to.
I wont ramble in this blog post as I think the video is more important.
