Apologies Kitty readers as this week I haven’t had much in the way of clothing shoppage to report on.  That’s because I’ve been spending all week running around like my bum was aflame completely re-jigging my island.  From installing a beautiful new house, to buying furniture and placing it, it’s incredible how much time it takes! Have you ever noticed that strange phenomenon where you log in at say 9am and next minute it’s the afternoon? That’s been the story of my week.  It really never ceases to amaze me how engrossed I still become in-world.  Just like real-life, you find yourself doing one thing, you get distracted, and end up doing something else entirely! .  (Of course  I’ve already touched on the phenomenon of bumping into friends in the most unlikeliest of places this week, but sometimes the parallels with reality are just astonishing)
One thing that always makes me snigger in a completely juvenile way are the sex shops.  I haven’t been to Strokerz Toys since I first joined, and having re-visited yesterday I can assure you  it’s still as entertaining as ever.  The sex rooms that this kind of store tend to offer are always packed with noobs there for their first taste of virtual naughtiness.  I wonder for how many it’s their last? Virtual sex can be entertaining in a funny way, but I can count the times that I have participated on one hand- once the novelty of contorting your virtual self into all sorts of positions you couldn’t achieve in real life has worn off, I find myself concluding that, like Boy George, I’d rather have a cup of tea! However I must confess that I did treat myself to an ASTONISHING bed and accompanying furniture for the master bedroom of the house.  This is where I confess something..I didn’t buy it for the fact that you can engineer every position under the sun using this bed, oh no.  I bought it because the sheets can be moved and you can look as if you’re sleeping underneath them. 

There is NO hope for me is there? Only I could buy one of the biggest and best sex beds in SL purely because you can cover yourself up, not because of the hours of virtual rumpy pumpy this bed can proffer. 

I’m off to put the kettle on..Fancy a brew?

1. No stupid daft money grabbing estate agents, you go and find a house you like, take it home, rez it and voila! Easy as Pie:)
2. Should you grow to dislike aformentioned house, you get another one.  Simple.
3. The boxes you use can be deleted after you’ve unpacked rather than re-cycled or thrown into landfill! (Eco Kitty ahoy!)
4. No issues with damp/double glazing/central heating.  No need for any dodgy electricians or plumbers. 
5. If you don’t like the colour/texture of *ANYTHING* in said house you can change it (Provided it’s Mod/Copy.  I know copy ain’t a prequisite on that but PLEASE make them or you will cry. Lots.)
6. You will NEVER have to dust/vacumn/do the laundry/cook breakfast/boil a kettle/make the beds or do anything remotely domesticated UNLESS you want to.  (This is why tonight while I’ve been re-arranging my furniture in my happy shiny new love house I’ve laid out cooking paraphernalia that would put Nigella to shame.  Even though I HATE cooking and Jez cooks every night for us in RL. I also have an iron and ironing board in SL..go figure that one out, because I hate bloody ironing.  The day they invent truly creaseless clothing will be the day I run around my town centre stark bollock naked screaming ‘Hullabulloo!’ at the top of my lungs.)
7. You can put completely mad/random things in or on your house and *no-one* will batter an eyelid.
8. Re the last point, it doesn’t even have to be a house.  It can be a teapot. A Wellington boot. A giant purple llama. Whatever floats your boat!

I’ll be posting pictures of my new residence shortly.  It’s ever so exciting- I love arranging the furniture and objects.(Although I swear I’ve lost some stuff from my inventory over the past couple of days..anyone else had that issue?)

Re last point I was RIGHT! Check this out, but alas it hasn’t made a pootle of difference, so I’m going to have to raise a support ticket.  Remember my posts on Kaneva recently? Let’s see how good to go the Lindens are at dealing with inventory issues….
