AuntVagina has taken my pass to the Second Life Valentines Shop & Hop and is looking for things Yorkie can buy her. After all it’s Valentines and romance is in the air.
The Event is open to the public from February 5th from 9am SLT to February 17th.
The Second Life Birthday Group will get early access to the event on February 4th from 9am PT/SLT onwards
All landmarks to the event will be found here on opening day
I won’t lie. My favourite character to be was always Harriet Parker. But these days Aunty VaGina is it.
Number one the actual avatar is just adorable but character behind avatar is what sells me. Even though that’s almost like saying I simply love me.
Then again, what’s wrong with that?
Today though I’m out of love with me because me woke up today and somehow pulled my neck during the night.
So now as the day goes on I feel like I’m already in a neck brace unable to turn properly. I’ve taken medication and lord all it has done is made me feel out of it.
Moral of the story? There isn’t any, I’m just whining and making you all aware that reality is currently being disproportionately unkind to me.
By the way Happy Aussie Day. Remember who was there first in your celebrations.
This a fun & playful light Twerk groove performance captured by Jasmine Shannon.
Paragon Facts: In the USA, Twerking is a popular booty shaking style of dance that evolved from the New Orleans style of hip-hop known as “bounce” from the bounce music scene in the 1980s. The word “twerking” first appeared on record in the song “Do the Jubilee All” by DJ Jubilee in 1993, in which he chanted, “Twerk baby, twerk baby, twerk, twerk, twerk.
Originally danced to “Big Ole Freak” by Megan Thee Stallion. Tempo = 71.50 BPM

When we last left Yorkie and VaGins, she had gone on her knee to ask a very important question.
Two days later, Yorkie moved away. VaGina being the positive woman she is, assumed he had gone to Sims land for some work and he would be back.
However Marika her sister got in touch as she had seen a video on YouTube and Yorkie had in fact moved. He even showed the entire world the new home he was creating.
So with the new address in hand VaGina went to explore the new address…….
Aunty had an email glitch and never saw her emails until yesterday.
There sat an email that had been sitting for months!
Stupid iPhones. They don’t bring down the email when they should.
Being a work ethic advisor she jumped on the camera to answer that message. Anonymous better late than never. The advice says loudly and clearly hydrate and plug it in!!!
I never did do a blog post for my most recent Va Gina video. That’s totally remiss of me as I know some folk in my blog are not virtual players and are not in my virtual Facebook feed to see the update.
For that I apologise. Life has been very hectic for me trying to keep up with work, what’s going on in the world, union activity and frankly my own self.
Anyhow I released it over last Saturday in the very early hours of U.K. time whilst I was asleep.
Yes the scheduled button . Marvellous thing that. Only thing I have noticed that WordPress pretty much sucks at it’s scheduling and that was pretty disappointing to see with another I scheduled. But that’s not for this post.
The video I made with the help of my lovely good friend Yorkie who happens to be the love interest of VaGina.
Yorkie is definitely the most loveliest of souls I have met online and I seriously would use my handbag and swipe someone who would ever attempt to hurt him. Just saying. I adore him and Rosie as good people are very rare nowadays.
Anyhow I digress. (I’m good at digressing). So the video came out and if you follow the story of Va Gina then you understand she is a lady who is fiesty, confident and comfortable in her own skin. Though she likes to spend too much time in the sun. Contrary to dermatological advice,
I enjoy her character at the moment because she is about me and about throwing away the stereotype of what is expected to see of a virtual woman.
Often I wish to change my avatar completely to her but unfortunately SL creators are still stuck in their belief that all women wear one body. (No pun intended).
So I was a little surprised when someone watched my video and made the comments that I was making fun of being fat and using stereotypical humour. I guess fat shaming?
Now that actually did make me question a number of things but certainly not myself at all.
For you see, each character I create are different aspects of me and I reveal those through my characters.
I would never ever fat shame anyone ever. Because I’m not slim gal. I’m “big boned” too!!!
So it is rather ironic that such a comment is made. I don’t consider it nasty or anything and can see the logic of why that person thought to, although on the wrong track.
Va Gina is my way of showing the world that not all women have to be skinny bimbos to be in this world and be seen. To be noticed and to be relevant. Big girls and men can be present in social media for being themselves and not for the over sexualised fantasies of men or women who like big people. Let’s be honest, there’s a whole lot of that in social media at the moment.
So it saddened me to see that kind of comment because, I seriously am the last person who would do that.
But let me add, will it stop me being all of my selves? Errr nope! Because at the end of the day, I do what makes me happy and I respect my own decisions and interpretations.
I want those “big boned” virtual characters to have as much highlight as the Barbie look avatar images. Because reality is about all types.
I want second life to reflect that just like reality all people who are good and decent are beautiful in their own ways.
My Va Vagina is beautiful. She has the sass of the most confident woman but also the vulnerability of the woman who can be insecure. Me. And let’s face it, she has Yorkie!!!!
Now wouldn’t all the women and men out there want that!!
