I know this is just a bug to be fixed in Second Life… BUT I LOVE IT!!!!
It doesn’t affect to our “normal” SL, but it makes us laugh a lot.
Fix the problems with friends list, groups, search, teleporting, login, etc… but keep this at least for a small time, please!!!!

Places to visit in Second Life #1: Imogen

Today i want to start a blog series: Places to visit in Second Life.

Lately i don’t have to much time to explore, but i will restart my trips. Sometimes just open the map and teleport randomly to any place can give you surprises.

Today i will talk about Imogen, one of my fav sims. Recently remodeled in a “California style”, some of San Francisco, some of Hollywood. Green sim, with hills and nice gardens and houses on them. You will find even a jail “Alcatraz style” in one of the corners of the sim.

You will find some shops in the landing area on the sim, i want to remark “Hey Joe”, the furniture store from Menno Ophelia, also one of the builders of the sim.

Maybe the most remarkable of Imogen is the giant “Golden Gate” that cross almost the entire sim, really nice done it gives you nice views in all directions around. Another remarkable thing is the Imogen big sign near the end of the bridge.

Before remodelation this sim was more commercial, right now is more residential, so if you visit it try to respect peace and intimacy to the residents.

Don’t want to write too much, i’m sure is better you visit the place.

Visit Imogen

Surprise!!! Is mah RL birfday!!!

Yesterday was one of the most wonderful days in my lifes (RL and SL ;-) ). Eric, my partner, and Terence, really dear friend, were all last week working in a big surprise party, finding friends, decorating, looking for the best cake. I was so emotive… well, some joy and happiness tears were out.

Here with Hiero, Jaid and Kota, snapshot moment ;-) , originally Flickr friends, now good friends in-world. Kota has some off her works in my art gallery, great photographer now is in a clothing project Savvy?, classy girl with a big heart, was there although the time zone difference we have. Jaid and Hiero (AKA Fox and Wolf), their “The tiny adventures of Fox and Wolf” are a must in the Second Life’s Flickr world, a wonderful couple, sweet friends with a lot of imagination and creativity. So nice having you near this day…Party animals

OMG! Was funny!!! Lots of friends there, all ready to have fun. In this image you can see almost all the people there. Eric had a lot of connection problems due to satellite, was all the time on and off, on and off, i know this was really sad for him, having this problems in my RL birthday party, specially after the work he had to do with Terence to have all ready. I love you, sweet Eric, thanks for all.

Mah birfday caek

The cake, OMG!!! And with surprise filling!!! Sammie was really kind and sexy being the “filling” of the cake, as you can see he was doing “pool dancing” for me and all the friends in the party. He is the fiance of my friend Rob Fairymeadow, of course Rob was there, taking care of “his man”, just in case someone wanted to eat too much cake. :-P

 

Old friends, big loveThe old buddies, Breannan, Rob, me and Terence. Breannan is a friend since my first SL days, he is my sweet vampire :-P , a creator out of SL, he has also a gallery with his work for sale. Rob and me were neighbours for a long time, always ready for a party, SL photographer too has his own gallery and has some of his work in mine also. And Terence, the biggest heart in Second Life, caring friend, funny… We are friends for a long time, were neighbours too. The party was in his home and he did a really great work there.

Sadly some friends didn’t had the oportunity to come, RL jobs, studies or problems… Thanks to all them too, you were in my heart…

Was a wonderful surprise. Thanks to Eric and Terence for preparing this party, the best gift in my life. Thanks to Kota, Jaid, Hiero, Bre, rob, Sammie, Kham, Ted, Roby, Athor, Jul, Sea, Dor, R2D2 and Beatrice the Birthday Bunny for being there!

Safety? Censorship!

Safety? Censorship!

This information is around Flickr, i knew about it thanks to Marquez Tone:
No flickr censorship with me!

If your Yahoo! ID is based in Singapore, Germany, Hong Kong or Korea you will only be able to view safe content based on your local Terms of Service so won’t be able to turn SafeSearch off.
In other words that means, that german users (like me) can not access photos on flickr that are not flaged “safe” … only flowers and landscapes for the germans …
We will not let this happen! Copy and upload this picture to your account – show flickr who we are! Thank you!

Well, you know all my thoughts about this. This double morality is invading the world.

It seems “somebody” thinks we all are underage and we can’t decide for ourselves, dammit!

In my mind…

Lately i was really busy, custom works for SLPride 2007, my exhibition area in SL4B, trying to make new products for my store, trying to spend time with Eric and friends…

Yesterday i had the time to analize my Second Life, just seated on my garden, when i took this image.

I’m not a really old resident, i’m here since Oct 2006, but lots of things happened and lots of things had changed. Loves, homes, some friends, projects, illusions…
Just as RL, the difference is this is really quicker, one SL month seems one RL year.

Now, just about to celebrate my RL birthday, i want to do a reflection, a reflection about friendship and love. Right now i have the best partner in-world, Eric, and wonderful, creative, caring, respectful and kind friends (surely you are one of them ;-) ).

I just can say to all them (maybe you) “THANK YOU”, for all the love, tender and funny moments, joy, smiles, tears, all they give me.

I love you!

P.S. /me is having a emotional storm, i’m sure you will understand :-)
