I stole the house I was squatting in

I stole the house I was squatting in

So says Harriet!!

Truth be told I have been following Sienna Foxdale on Facebook and her awesome rez builds she is doing and when I visited this one. I fell completely madly in love. Decided then and there to message her and impart some muller for the privilege of beautiful décor.

To be fair I have night on 192,000 (yep dont faint!) items in my inventory and despite having it all, nothing I can do in terms of décor ever can look this good. Im pretty useless at doing decorating as in reality Im very much minimal with plants or rather trees as my features. So my skill set is in that direction.

Howevee in pixel planet I do tend to admire the beauty of decoration and the best bit….no cleaning!!!!

If you want to check this place out. It was rezzed here but I cannot promise that Sienna hasn’t replaced it as yet. But please go check it out. It cost $5k in lindens and has if I recall around 820 ish prims in total.

Its my sky home now for Harriet and also a place to take beautiful inside photos for myself and friends.

Now the video…..

I’ll tell you what’s got my goat today

I’ll tell you what’s got my goat today

I’m currently going through one of those iffy phases where the emotional rollercoaster starts to hit and I’m a little bit wobbly.

It’s not surprising really given so much change has been going on recently and it’s change I haven’t really asked for or wanted.

Actually frankly no one has.

But seriously if I hear one more time on BBC One about “flattening the curve” and about how we must do this or must do that, I’m likely to lose my schizzle.

Oh and what the “science says”. I doubt half of those “professionals” even have much of a clue right now. So they refer to the “science”.

In my honest opinion I’m starting to believe that they really are spinning a story in the daily briefing and I’m now tired of hearing a whole lot of nothing really being said. We don’t need to hear this day in and day out. Day after day.

That being said, only those in the U.K. will know what I’m referring to. An endless time moment that happens each day that really tells us nothing.

Seriously why not just say “We have nothing to say”?

So this war paint look from A R T E nicely reflects my disdain at the moment.

On another note I’m rather fine, just annoyed with media and political confusions dampening our lives with no real answers. Don’t get me started on the selfish lot who ignore everything…..

The moment I lay my head

It’s Saturday night in the early hours if Sunday morning and I am just about to fall asleep.

I’ve not much to say because frankly I want to close my eyes and fall into a dream. In the meantime I’ll dance myself to sleep.

Goodnight and enjoy the video.

New kid in town

New kid in town

The Chimpanzee just did it for me!

Despite my classy look there was me jumping up and down like a banshee wetting myself with excitement when the chimp came out the box.

But then when the second one came out, my shrieks could be heard right across the meta verse.

You see for the past few years in Sansar I’m known as “her with the monkey”.

It became a special signature to me and I’ve always wanted to replicate it in second life but never met the perfect monkey. Till now.

So I may look a bit posh nosh but believe me I’m all down with the animals enjoying their wonderful animations.

So the chimpanzee is part of the HullabaZoo event. You really want to go. If you are like me and love all things furrie and cute. There’s so much more I’m going to show you over the coming weeks from both HullabaZoo and EQUAL10.

Now the video….

Hullabazoo 2020

Hullabazoo 2020

There is a new annual Shopping Event in Second Life called HullabaZoo!

It starts tomorrow on the 10 March and goes right through till the 31 March.

Its an event all about all sorts of creature avatars, pets, rideable’s, props and mods. You will also find accessories and mods for the creatures. There will be classes, a quest, photo moments, parties and much more.

One of the main aims of this annual event is to raise money for animal charities. This year the chosen charity is the Jane Goodall institute.

Community Centred Conservation: Contributing to the preservation of chimpanzees and their habitats by combining conservation with education and promotion of sustainable livelihoods in local communities.
Primate Care and Research: through study of primates in the wild, and sanctuaries for orphans of the entertainment and bushmeat trades.
Environmental and Humanitarian Education: through Jane Goodall’s Roots & Shoots international youth education program which aims to inspire young people to take positive action on the environment on behalf of all the planet’s inhabitants

I was invited to blog this event and of course you know me I had to do a video. I suggest watching through as right at the end there is a little random moment of mine.

As you can imagine I have had fun playing with a few avatars and over the up coming days will show you more.

The main bit of information you will need to know is the landmark and the website 

The team behind this new event are Duchess Flux, Cass(Brokenlovely), Dreamsphere Zeiner, Sugarfairy88 Resident, Lil Cinnamon (Leel1980), Julala Demina.

Friendships in Second Life

by Isabelle Cheren8 Comments on Friendships in Second Life
Friendships in Second Life

One of the great things about our virtual world is not just the romances and the businesses that people experience but the great friendships we make.

I have on my vast list 5 exceptional good friends. And a number of virtual excellent friends.

What makes a friend exceptional?

They’re the ones you meet in a virtual world and you take to your reality.

The ones you speak to outside of the virtual world on a regular basis.

The ones you are there for to listen in times of need or offer voice to when they need to hear a kind word. Not just on virtual life but on reality. Good friends.

So I start my little Friends in Virtual life series.

Today meet Rosie Helendale. Man does she know me well!!!

One of that handful that it doesn’t matter what I need to talk about she has an ear.

And her RL knows it too!! 😁

Rosies good traits are, kindness, gentleness and good advice. No BS and honesty. All the stuff I value in my friendships.

She also has a Youtube channel which you may want to check out because she is queen of interesting knowledge in SL. Check her out here

So my aim is to share my friends and what makes them important in the world we live in.

Do you have special friendships from our virtual worlds which also add importance?

I think she was admiring my outfit from Lunar in this photo.

Every now and then I will feature these people so that you too may see their intrinsic human value in my life.

Exploring Bayou Du Chat Noir

Exploring Bayou Du Chat Noir

There are some times I don’t actually want to appear in a video, especially when my virtual self is having a bad hair day. I will say of course, she never has a bad hair day ever.

However I always feel the need to talk. Though today, I decided I would do less of the chatter and let you enjoy the lovely Bayou Du Chat Noir in its  glory.

What a gorgeous place to visit. So full of atmosphere and I can imagine the deep south warmth of the summer and  Blues and Soul music  escaping  out the windows of homes as you slowly walk along the gravel roads.

Crocodiles hiding off the shores of the swampy waters and the smell of Cajun and Creole foods drifting in the air.

A shot of whisky on your travels and the dusk settling.

Now the video……

A moment

A moment

I had a conversation with my cat Bondi earlier. As you can rightly guess, he really didn’t answer me but to state he wanted food.

Let me take a moment and point out that I actually have two cats Bondi and Tippi.

They are these days the Ying to my Yang. My Ping to my Pong.

Despite the synchronicity between us I still don’t have a damned idea what that furry critter says to me half the time. She on the other hand, has nothing to say.

What I will tell you is that when I dress in the morning and look in the mirror, Bondi is the one to look at me and cast his approving eye over me. I could believe it is approving or maybe it’s with no interest. I’ll stick to the first idea.

After all, it’s him that snuggles up with me on the sofa.

Bollywood or bust

Bollywood or bust

The dance video this weekend I was trying to do a Bollywood video but with repeated freezing and crashing the past few days (nothing new) it turned into a bit of a mission.

The leading man is my bot as the man I had planned wasn’t around and so my bot had to do.

It’s not the same, as animation is harder in a non thinking answering avatar, who only understands sit and do. But it’s what I had to work with.

So here it is.

Cyberpunk meets Dubstep at Hangars Liquides

Cyberpunk meets Dubstep at Hangars Liquides

No Coffee chats today.

This week I promised myself and some good people I would spend my time raising the awareness of the amazing Hangars Liquides the largest and longest running cyberpunk city in the world.

The entire visual content is crafted in 3D, by artist Djehan Kidd, all the textures are hand painted. The sound design has been entirely created for the city by Laurent Mialon, composer and founder of Hangars Liquides.

Video Below featuring Tori Whacking dances from Paragon Dance Animations and Angie Bento 2 booty dances from MOVE Animations

Enjoy the video.

This statement direct from the page DJehan Kidd wrote :-

– THE MEANING OF THE ART WORK –

Hangars Liquides is a work evolving around our dystopian reality.

Throughout the city you will find illustrations and reminders of our dystopian reality. Historical facts that led us to where we stand now. 911, Tien An Men, Slavery, WW2 memorials, and so on, everything that highlights how humans are able to hate one another, can be displayed in the city. I want to push people so they have no choice but remember these things, for we all live in a consumerist environment, both online and offline : Pier Paolo Pasolini said that “consumerism spreads faster than fascism, so much we didn’t see it come”, indeed, what are we able to see of this world when we are too self absorbed about ourselves only, what happened to Narcissus. I think that this is what consumerism does to us, like a sedative drug, if we are blinded so much we wont see anything come. This is why I am part of a non profit organization, as an artist, because I intend to use online platforms to spread a message to the people, through art, in this case, the message is to open our eyes on our present oppressive dystopia, and even if we feel unable to act or do anything to change the world, at least we can try to come up clean in the act of intellectual honesty that consists into looking at ourselves for what we are, the city is a mirror of this.
