Happy RL Birthday Jezmond!!

Happy RL Birthday Jezmond!!

So, my second life and real life beloved turns thirty-something today and seeing as I produce this blog I thought I’d give him a shout out. As regular readers will know, Jez very rarely bothers with SL. He’s a WoW fiend, and spends his time in dungeons twatting goblins and other assorted creatures. It’s been suggested that Jez is actually my alt, but that couldn’t be farther from the truth. When I first started out in SL, Jez and I lived over a hundred miles apart and had been conducting a long-distance relationship for a few years, and each weekend one of us would make the long journey across the M62 to visit the other. When I joined SL I encouraged (nagged) him to join so we could spend time in world together instead of just nattering on the phone. His move into SL was purely for our mutual amusement and when he moved into my home in RL a few months ago his involvement pretty much ceased. I don’t mind that really…he LOVES WoW and he’s an earnest gamer. I often sit on my laptop in SL with Jez sat on the opposite side of the table raiding dungeons galore. He doesn’t really ‘get’ SL if I’m perfectly honest, nor does he see the fun in ambling around SL like I do. I feel the same about WoW…why on earth would I want to run around casting spells, healing people and getting into all sorts of scrapes when I could be in Tesla nomming shoes, or dancing around like a loon at ‘Parkade’ or ‘The Crown and Pearl’?

However, he DID promise me last week that he would come to the Pet Shop Boys night at Parkade on Thursday ( as featured previously on this blog) so if you still question Jez’s very existence pop along and see him in all his glory! (Yes, by writing this here he has NO get out clause for not appearing, boy I’m a devious little minx sometimes!)

So a very Happy Birthday indeed my beloved. I adore you and thanks for making the last 6 years the best of my life, and if you’re a good boy I’ll make sure you get a happy finish later xxxxxx

Monday Must-Have-Gadget Day!

Monday Must-Have-Gadget Day!

Make no bones about it, to look your best in SL you HAVE to use a facelight. A facelight is the virtual equivalent of those fancy schmancy foundations that illuminate your skin and give you a flawless look,and just like in RL you can get cheap ‘n’ cheerful, or you can pay through the nose for an all singing all dancing number. Normally I’d tell you to opt for the latter. Seriously, a good face-light is an absolute must if you are in any way serious about your avatar’s appearance, and vain old cow that I am it’s an essential component of my wardrobe. I don’t leave the house without my face (light) on in the morning! It’s the essential avatar cosmetic…and you can get a GLORIOUS one for free right now from…Tesla. Yes, the Goddess of all that is shoeworthy herself has blessed us all with a freebie face light that’s perfectly optimised for our wondrous windlight world. Plus, because it’s a Tesla product you can be assured that she’s made a cracking job of it. You can get free face lights at various places across the grid, but some of them can be a tad garish and in darker settings make your face look like Times Square on New Years Eve. Tesla’s is just subtle enough to deal with unwanted shading, yet still make you look utterly radiant and defo worth one. Two if you’re lucky. I have no idea how long they will be available so my advice is go and get one NOW.

Oh, and have a look at the shoes while you’re there..just try not to cover them in drool. It really buggers up the virtual leather!

 

10000 HITS!!! YAAY!

10000 HITS!!! YAAY!

10,000 hits ahoy!!! OMG!! The site has surpassed 10,000 hits and I am STUNNED! I’m also absolutely thrilled to bits. I know I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again, thank you for reading my blatherings. I don’t really write with any particular ambitions (perhaps I should eh?) but what I do write comes from the heart. I’ve been a tad neglectful recently as I’ve not been so well in RL, but fingers crossed I’m turning a corner and I plan to start putting the effort back into the site that has been so lacking in the past few weeks.

If you want your event/clothing/hair/animals (I LOVE pets ) vegetables or anything SL related to be reviewed or featured on these pages then I’m more than happy to oblige, and should you require me to I’ll return any items once reviewed.I’d like to take this opportunity to thank some people too. Thanks to EVERYONE who have been so kind and asked me to review clothing and feature it on these pages..it’s been an absolute delight for me to be able to do that.

Extra special thanks therefore should go to (In no particular order) Lawra Fredrickson ( Nekorifik!) Ivey Deschanel ( Sn@tch) and Emmeriselle Theas (Orchid Dreams) I also want to pay lip service to Nikk Huett for establishing the fantastic Tribute Island, which if you haven’t yet visited you should be thoroughly ashamed of yourselves, all my wonderful chums at ‘The Crown & Pearl’ (The BEST bar in SL!) and my new friends at ‘Parkade’.

Finally, I want to thank my fabulous buddy Amanda Shinji for the heart-felt chats and the boogies (My SL is made so much better by your being there hunni) CodeBastard Redgrave for the nomminess, the opportunity to model and for her utter gorgeousness, and last but not least, Deedee Fadoodle for being my inspiration in RL:)

Here’s to the next 10000 reads!

AT BLOODY LAST!!! PSB’s Night FINALLY comes to SL!!!

AT BLOODY LAST!!! PSB’s Night FINALLY comes to SL!!!

FINALLY

As some of you may be aware, I run the PSB’s fan group in SL. Well, I’ve been meaning to organise a night to celebrate all the wonderful music that my heroes have produced, but alas RL intervened and I just never got my arse in gear..well, a thought struck me and seeing as Amanda is also a huge fan ( I only mix with those blessed with exceptional taste dahlinks!)then it seemed obvious to ask if we could organise something at Parkade…and last night we did…and look at the poster that DJNoNo made!

Don’t they look amazing?

SO, take this as your official invite!

 ‘Finally’ will be at the Parkade sim on Thursday 10th April from 2-6pm and features two of SL’s BEST DJ’s, DJNoNo Ulysees and Miss Cyberpink.  Hosted by me, Miss Kitty O’Toole, it promises to be an aural extravaganza of hits, album tracks and collaborations featuring icons such as Dusty Springfield and Liza Minnelli..and many many more!

(Someone better have Cicero or I shall cry!)
