Bourque77 posted "sappy show alert ... last night in the Gilmore Girls, Logan referenced Second Life in a description of Internet renassaince (sp?) ... in that real money was being exchanged for virtual goods. our guilty secret is out." This made me laugh out loud and caused a few co-workers to give me some strange looks

Hey - I just happened across this. You all may want to check it out. It's a database that lists everything for sale in Second Life (outside of a vendor). The problem? You may not know items you own have been set for sale. Clio, Konnie, Trena, Dimity and Rose at least all have stuff for sale - as do I. I wasn't bothered as it's something that was kind of disappointing (beach lounger - pretty but boring) and it had been set to sell at the original price ... until I realized anyone clicking to look at it would teleport right into the backyard. And ... I imagine Clio's cosmopolitan set is *not* in her backyard so they'd be landing in her living room (though maybe I say that too quickly lol). Hopefully they will update the database before the garage sale for Relay and all *those* items will show up for sale, and not just our mistakes! ETA Oh, and Nikki's excellent sandals are for sale at some club! Hopefully, Nikki, you are getting the linden from sales so this database is doing some good.

Konnie, I don't think that can be a donation. The slurl takes you to the lofts, not the site of the garage sale.

Pics from a recent trip to Sleezywood. I know some of you have been there but if you haven't, its worth a trip. Oh and they do have a nice roller skating rink there. The first pic is after Arol, Konnie, and I tired of roller skating and our mock roller derby and decided to take a break and play with the drums.
The next pic is at the Sleezywood junkyard. Arol has the beer handy.
And of course the best form of transportation around Sleezywood was the good old garden tractor which I think is seldom used in Sleezywood. I told Arol not to drink and drive!

Hey everyone!! We'll be moving the time of the 2nd half of the BBAUS 2006 Finale to 8:30PM SLT tonight! The viewing will be hosted by Ms. Dimity and will take place at the Lofts, in the sky. The TP to the skybox is located in between the umbrellas by the pool on the beach. Hope to see you all there!!

I've been asked for an update in my saga of being a blonde in Second Life. In case I didn't make it clear before, everything I share here is the truth and nothing but the truth. I swear,I am NOT making this stuff up. I apologize in advance for the length of this report. Thanks to my newfound popularity with some of the boys in SL, I've been doing some SL dating. G-rated dating as in dancing, or surfing or skydiving. Good wholesome fun, with maybe a little kissin' and cuddlin'. But that's it. I am an old-fashioned SL girl. Overall, this kind of junior high dating has been a lot of fun. I certainly enjoy the attention, and dating a different boy every few time zones around the planet sure keeps the boredom away. There's always a new cutie just about to come online and keep me entertained. As anyone who has dated multiple people in Real Life can tell you, juggling ain't always easy. Even when you are open and honest about seeing other people, things can get a little touchy. Jealousy, competition and hurt feelings are always lurking, just waiting to ruin the party. And a guy who seems totally cool with the situation at first can suddenly go Noah's Ark on you and expect you to couple up with him and ditch the other guys to drown in the Flood. Which brings me to the day I want to tell you about. This is what happens when I play around with the Almighty Power of the Blonde Mojo when I am not experienced in its use. Please excuse the football metaphor to follow. I was feeling a bit bored. I didn't want to do anything productive, and my first-string boys weren't around. Being a risktaker with a self-destructive streak, I decided to bring a second-stringer in from the bench to see what he could do. Junior Varsity, we'll call him. I messaged Junior and he was thrilled to be getting the call. He had to see me right away! So, being the naive, gullible Neo-Blonde that I am, I teleported him to my house, since we had hung out together several times and I trusted him enough to show him my house. We chatted away, having fun innocently flirting. I was kinda liking this guy and was considering moving him to the varsity squad, when all of a sudden I looked up and through my ceiling, unannounced, comes Bachelor #1, my favorite bachelor. Let's make him the Quarterback. Feeling caught in the act, I stammered and stuttered and introduced them to each other as if it was not at all an awkward situation. Being gentlemen, they pretended as well and went through the motions of being friendly. I was reminded of dogs circling one another, just looking for territory to mark. Eventually, Junior Varsity moved on when it became apparent that the Quarterback was not leaving the playing field voluntarily. After he left, I reminded the Quarterback that he was not allowed to just "pop in" to my house unannounced, no matter how sweet and cute and dreamy he may be. He was appropriately sorry and was forgiven...this time. Suddenly, in the midst of some innocent forgiveness activity, I received an instant message from Bachelor #2, the Backup Quarterback who I had been out with the night before. He was freaking out. It seems that when he had logged in to Second Life, he had SOMEHOW landed in my bedroom upstairs and had heard all of my conversation with the Quarterback downstairs. And let's just say he wasn't happy with the plays that were being called. Even though he's been well aware from the start that I'm a free agent and he has no exclusive rights to my pass receiving abilities. Needless to say, I was mortified to think that he had overheard my private conversation. I was also furious that he thought I would be HAPPY for him to show up in my bedroom unannounced and uninvited. For the next few hours while out in SL with the Quarterback, I kept getting major drama from Backup guy via IM about how hurt he was to hear me with someone else...blah, blah, blah. Not a lot of mention of the fact that if he hadn't shown up in my house, he never would have heard anything in the first place. Eventually he calmed down and stopped whining after I agreed to talk things over the next day. I finally said good night to Quarterback and headed home, looking forward to peace and quiet and NO BOYS! When I arrived, the sight that greeted me was something out of an Austin Powers movie. There was Junior Varsity from that morning, IN MY HOUSE UNINVITED. He was dressed in a tuxedo and dancing to music from my jukebox. When I asked him what the hell he was doing in my house, he replied that he didn't know how he got there and that he couldn't stop dancing. Combining his lame story with how ridiculous he looked while trying to be so suave just about made me die from laughing. I asked him to go home, but he said he couldn't seem to be able to teleport out of my house. Funny, but as soon as I teleported the Quarterback over to assess the situation with me, Junior suddenly managed to not only stop dancing, but found his way off of my property tout de suite! I learned several valuable lessons from this ONE day. The top three... 1. Never include your bedroom when giving a boy a tour of your house. They just might set a landmark so they can return and "surprise" you. 2. Just because a boy SAYS he's cool with you dating other people doesn't mean he really IS cool with it. Or that he will remain cool with it. 3. Investing in a good SL home security system is money well-spent.

LMAO, Chris! This just made me SO happy that I'm "coupled up", so to speak. What a nightmare. Although I'm sure the "thrill of the chase" is fun and all, I don't know how I'd feel about SL men popping in my bedroom every now and then, LOL!

Oh my gosh, christine! I giggled through every bit of your story. and girl, your stories just aren't long enough, lol! You really do need to write a book, you are fantastic at taking us through and SHOWING us what happens in your escapades. I could truly visualize it. Thank you for sharing, I LOVE your stories. Now, this story begs a question for me... in secondlife dating, is playing with the excite toys expected generally? I've often wondered about that... I don't even know how to kiss and hug in secondlife... lol

Let me tell you..there is no such thing as a friendly hug in SL! I have one and it looks like we need to get ourselve a room and fast!! Arol seems to be really into the sleezywood scene recently! Heres a picture of her dumpster diving. I got some ratty underwear! Am not sure what Arol got but it must of been good!! Look at her in there! Sorry but I forgot how to post a picture on here.

Hmm, to kiss in SL go to Bits and Bobs and buy pose balls. They come in sets where pink is for girls and blue for boys. Oh and there are many other pose ball animations too if you get my drift. Don't ask me how I know this I just do .

Yesterday was another eventful day in SL. As I was out on the lake most of the afternoon in RL, I didn't get in SL until much later in the afternoon and what did I discover to my great surprise? Noved finally put her house up! Since Peabody and I missed actually seeing her virtually, we decided to go check out her house ourselves... Much to our surprise, we found that she knew how to lock her front door. Well it being the "Hood" and all... we didn't let that stop us...and it was a good chance for me to teach Peabody the fine art of SL housebreaking First I created the main tool needed for breaking in...
And scooted myself right in..
Then I sent it back out for Pea
And it was worth breaking into see...what a beautiful house it is! Later MamaP came to look also and what do you know...we found out that the upstairs door was unlocked and we went to all that trouble for nothing! So remember the first rule of SL housebreaking...check ALL the doors first!

Next Peabody came up with the idea that we needed SL Toe Rings! So she did a search and off we went shopping for these little beauty's. When we got to the store we found there were no PINK toe rings....! Well of course we had to have PINK so the owner of the store was nice enough to create some for us..and she gave them to us as GIFTS! Four different styles..in gold and silver! Woo Hoo...we are now the proud owners of the finest TOE PINK RINGS in all the land! Besides the fact that SL Avie's have the ugliest feet possible...aren't those rings beauty's?
And while we were out shopping we were invited to perform as a Barber Shop Quartert...only Love crashed before she had a chance to join us.
And here I was actually singing the yodel from the Sound Of Music!
And how was your weekend?

Well I know what I am doing today. I will be shopping for toenail polish. I know my feet looked dirty but remember I was barefoot all day because I forgot to put on shoes. Which makes me think....has anyone ever looked at Fab's tootsies. She never wears shoes!! Belle is a fountain of knowledge. Beware in the "hood".

Thanks Belle, you just taught me the fine art of breaking into houses! How have I been on SL this long and not learned that yet? Pea, you can buy pedicures (aka nail polish on feet) and manicures at Awesome Designs in all colors. You just wear them like socks and gloves on your hands and feet.

I think I need to begin writing a saga of living next to a blonde Christine in SL. Well actually, this is not Chris's fault this time. I had just signed on to SL and was in my house when all of a sudden my front door opens and some guy walks in. Luckily, the new security system that I had just installed the previous night and didn't think was working right actually did work and bounced him to kingdom come. Well, not really, but it did bounce him into Chris's yard. Chris, who is much friendlier than I am, has a nice conversation with him while I go to work building a fountain for my yard. So I think whew got rid of him. Soon I see him approaching on radar. But this time he is smart enough to realize he can stand on the sidewalks outside my yard and talk to me. He bows to me and tells me he is at my service. Soon he is giving me roses and asking me if I have a boyfriend. Well, stupid me, all I had to do was say yes but did I think of it at the time...NO. Next, he is offering me friendship and asking to take me dancing. Well, not being a stupid blonde, I realize he has probably been through this whole routine with Chris moments before. Next he gives me a meditation pillow and proceeds to demonstrate it to me in my yard which of course he is then bounced away again by my security and I am ROFL thinking this guy will not be back this time. But no, he reappears and wants to give me a dress to wear dancing and has the nerve to ask me to try it on right there out in the middle of my yard. Well, this time I did refuse and told him I'd try it on later. Ok, so why is it so hard to tell someone in SL that you have no interest in going anywhere with them or in being their friend? So Chris has not even moved in yet and already I am sharing her boyfriends. No not really, I will not be going anywhere with this guy anytime soon. If he wants to stand across the street in the park and talk to me while I am safely protected by my security system in my yard then so be it. Oh, and by the way, everyone in 3LOLS or TVCH are in my security system and you will not be bounced from my land so have no fears. I will just bounce all the guys into Chris's yard. This guy actually thanked me for bouncing him into her yard because she was so nice and he made a new friend.

Daisy is amazing!!! After following a trail all over SL we were finally able to locate a kissing booth and dunking booth for the "Relay for Life" festival the TVCHERS will be having in SL on May 5th. They are currently located at the "hood park" for anyone wanting to test them The Dunking Booth
The kissing booth
Just having fun

ATTENTION: I have an important question guys that I need an answer for (at least from those that plan to go to the BBAUS viewings). I am thinking of ways to make this easier on everyone, but mainly EST'ers who can't really stay up that late on a weeknight. Wednesday nights should be our "normal" viewing night where I show the eviction and nomination shows each week (except for THIS week, where I'll be showing the opening night special and another special that they ran this week). Each Weds. night should run us a good 3 hours of BB. That seems like a LOT, but trust me, it's SO WORTH IT and anyone that watched the BB06 Finale that we ran last week can attest to that, I think. What I'm wondering is, would 5pm SLT (7pm CST/8pm EST) be too early for you guys? This would mean that we shouldn't run ANY later than 11pm EST, give or take some time if we start a few minutes late. IF that doesn't work, I'll be starting at 6pm SLT instead, which'll just run us an hour later. I'm trying to make this as easy as possible. I want you guys to really enjoy this because honestly, once you see a foreign BB (and I'm talking beyond the BBUK celeb, which is run a tad bit differently I feel), you will be HOOKED! I gaurantee it. And, incentive.................the boys are yummy and the girls (for any guys wanting to come see!) aren't so bad themselves. So, let me know!! Either way, we are showing the opening of BB07 Australia TOMORROW night (Wednesday, April 25) at Autumn & Brent's! Time will be decided upon as soon as you guys let me know if 5pm SLT would be too early. Thanks!

The earlier the better as far as Im concerned. I will love watching the opening night special but will not be able to stay for the 2nd part. Truthfully...3 hours in one stretch is just too long for me in one night...

Well honestly it was either show everything or just bits n pieces and have everyone completely lost, lol. OR show 4-5 nights a week and with everything else going on in SL, that's not possible. So you guys can stay however long you want, doesn't matter, it's whatever you want to do. But to me it's no different than having the feeds up for hours, lol.

I plan to attend just for the fun of it, however, since I'll be viewing on my own anyway I'll be there when I can ... or go to sleep it if gets too late... so this is one east coaster you don't have to schedule around!
