From Smart to Tart

Wow - 10 months since I last posted anything here! Time flies.

 

I've not been very active in SL over the last few months. But I have been enjoying following the activities of others on the SL feeds. The quality and fine detail in so many of the pics now posted on the feeds is stunning and presents such a contrast with the quality of the graphics when I first joined SL back in 2007. However, it does rather frustrate me on the occasions when I am inworld that my now rather old PC does not allow me to appreciate the enhanced graphics to their fullest extent.

 

Seeing the many shots that appear on the feeds showing the latest fashions and trends in SL and the many pics that are posted on "Topless Tuesdays" has really brought home to me how much I enjoy the ability that SL affords me (and, indeed, others) to switch from dressing smart to be a "tart" (in the nicest possible sense, of course). 

 

Over the years, I've taken pleasure in dressing smart...

 

 

and swanky...



 

But the greater pleasure for me has always been to play the tart.

 

Oooh...

 

 

Oo-er...

 

Another month....

 

....has now passed and Keira seems to be taking an ever closer interest in me or, as the case may be, certain things about me.

 

 

 

She likes to keep me, or, as the case may be, certain things about me, close at hand!

 

 

 

I, and certain things of mine, are rather fond of her close attention.

 



Keira...

....was most insistent that I create a blog entry featuring her!

Pictures.....

.....speak louder than words...

.....or so it is said.


And that is perhaps no bad thing given that I seem a man of few words as of late.

All Change!

No, my train hasn't just pulled into Crewe railway station. Instead, not wishing to deprive my girlie fans any longer of their need to run their eyes (and other things) over my gorgeous avatar, I have this weekend ventured away from my island retreat and back into the world of SL. And how things have changed in SL Dublin!

The management team at Dublin has been completely re-structured and, purely coincidentally, the sims are now using a new security system which is, it would seem, controversial.

For my own part, I'm content to accept the assurances given that this system does not (as some allege) invade privacy by collecting and logging IP addresses. You can perhaps take some comfort in this respect by asking yourself whether I've ever been proved wrong? When I asked myself that question, my answer was positive.

My web-browsing has also disclosed to me that as a result of his support of the new security system, Smitty Boyau, the long-standing Dublin Security Manager, is gaining a certain notoriety over at SLU .

I've also been given a list (sadly much too long to publish here) of the partnerings, un-partnerings, and re-partnerings that have taken place in Dublin over the last month. Well done to all those who've managed several entries on that list!

In the midst of what can appear to be quite radical change, it's comforting to know that things such as the SL partnering merry-go-round will always continue unabated.  

A Day to Remember

It's exactly a month since my last post. You might assume that in that month I'd been so busy inworld that I'd been unable to find the time to post and, if so, you'd be wrong.



For reasons I'm presently discussing with my psychiatrist, I've become a recluse, rarely venturing from the confines of my SL island home. Believing myself to be Dr. Doolittle, my principal communication in SL now consists of exchanging chirps with my meeroos. Chirp, chirp, birt, as they say! Too funny, huh? I tell you, they sure know how to tell a joke! As you might perhaps have anticipated, I've also discovered that their artificial intelligence and communication skills compare favourably with the intelligence and communication skills of many SL residents. 

During my period as a recluse, I've missed out on all the Halloween events. I even managed to forget that 3rd November was my 4th rez day! However, I have (notwithstanding my mental state, chirp, chirp, birt) remembered that today in the UK is Armistice Day (being the anniversary of the armistice which ended the First World War), our equivalent of Veterans' Day in the US.

In contrast with Halloween and my own rez day, 11th November is, I think, a day well worth remembering.   

Nina

As soon as logged into SL this evening I received an IM from one of my my fans, Nina Brandenburg. I like Nina because she appears to agree with me when I tell her that I'm a normal man in a world full of idiots.

Nina told me that she was about to stand in for a green frog who couldn't make it and invited me over to join her in the Blarney Stone pub in Dublin. An image of Ninja Nina flashed across my mind. However, when I arrived I saw Nina, sat on a stool on the stage, holding a microphone in her hand. There's wasn't a frog or turtle to be seen.

Nina sings! And very nicely too. Usually at the Savoy Jazz Club, when I'm asleep in bed.
