I am remiss!

Almost a week since my last entry and I am feeling guilty. Not that I have many faithful readers, but I do worry I have alienated a few of them. Of course it would be nice to have lots of comments screaming at me to post. Or just comments in general to let me know you readmy blog.

Of course there are so many things to write about, that I never know where to begin: men, my girls, russian fashion, SL fashion Maitreya Shoes, politcs religion, sex and ethics.... Well, you get the Picture.

I sometimes have the inclination to debate the finer points of an intellectual premise, and SL's Socrates Cafe is a wonderful outlet for this. A group of avatars sitting around a fire, debating topics is a far cry from typical SL entertainment, but it does show that SL is a forum for all manner of activities. What is wonderful is I can be a hot philosohy girl one day, and then be a hot poledancing girl the other. And what I really love in SL is that I can define myself as hot two days in a row. I don't think this has ever happened to me in RL, ever!

SometimesI have my utterly girly moments, and nothing ever feels more girly to me than pink. God I know it is a stereotype that has been socialized into me from birth, but dammit, pink makes me feel pretty. I am a horrible feminist sometimes, kicking through glass celings with pink heels. I did not do the cleanest photoshop job on this picture by here are the pink star sandals.

A word about Veto Keen. Veto is a regular at some of SL's best sims-of- ill-repute. Veto is one of the most unique men I have met in SL, with a wonderful sense of humor, and the capacity to be truly nice. When I first met him, his typical incarnation was as a crusty, overweight, cigar smoking dirty old janitor, mopping floors in a sex club. This was brilliant! His avi was so wrong and unsexy that I was immediatly intrigued. Well as the months have passed I have seen many other incarnations of Veto, and while he is certainly part of my circle of friends, I still find him sexy.

The other night we were at Viv's new place and we were icking on Veto's fashion sense. Here is a shot of the business end of his boxers. Unfortunately the screenshot does not do justice to his digital butt. I am going to have to start running SL in high rez again.

Yummy. Evern more Yummy is knowing what a slight tug can do.

Lest I be accused of doing this only for the buttshot, here is Veto, looking dark and brooding, with a touch of mystery, and an ugly gangsta hat:

Well this is all for now, as I am back to Photoshop the rest of my pics for another post.

Friday's Child

Friday night was a good one for me, as I got to see all my girls. I even got back on the stage and danced in Hard Alley. I have never been good at the dancing. I cannot type fast enough to really work the stage like Sarah does, and I get too distracted by IMs. Still,it was quite fun. Ultimately I have had some difficulty with SL and stability (what else is new), so I crashed before I could delve deeper. Still it was a fun evening. Me and my girls on a rampage, turning Viv into a latex fetishist.

The purple platforms. I am not a huge platforms fan, but these go so well with the latex fetishist in me:

Here are the danger girls on our way out. Left to right: Tars, Sarah, Me (yes, green hair!) and Vivian. Don't we look good in purple latex? This is how we hit the Alley before my stage return (which did get me money!) and our demonstration in support of Megz's cleaning skills, hehehehe.

After our purple Latex adventures we went back to the pond and changed into something more normal (and my favorite pink Sylfies) and danced for a while, drawing the attention of at least one hot Aussie guy.

This is Viv and I, before dancing. Just so you get the full on latex impression:

And this is me as I ended the night (note the killer dance moves, and of course, another change of hair!):

Girls on Film

Last night was nice. The Internet is back up and I was finally able to log on. My momentary white heels obsession seemed to fade as my wardrobe had become more or less random as a result of the Internet problems. So I had to put something together quickly. I settled on a white skit, a bandanna halter top and my new red heels from Redgrave. I love the details on these shoes and I both them in both Black and Red, and really I should get the brown, but my wardrobe is lacking in that particular neutral. These shoes do deserve a better picture, and I will post another, but here they are for now.

Ok, for all those of you who might be curious. There is sex in SL. Why Virtual Sex works and goes beyond watching cartoons bumping pixels is hard to explain. I suppose the principal is the same as it is for cybersex: invest something into it and the action becomes greater than the sum of its parts. I must say that for a long time the erotic exploration of my psyche was a powerful force in my SL experience. I travelled down so many roads that I would never walk in real life. But ultimately, I find all that I have done in SL has increased my self awareness and confidence in RL. I have watched my own transformation as keenly as I have watched those of my Friends.

So last night, no sooner had I logged on, but I was teleported by Sarah, Tars and Viv, to Neva Naughty. Neva Naughty is a lag fest orgy room filled with newbies wandering about having sex randomly. Some of it is good, most of it is bad. And I if I had not heard a girl beg for someone to "mount me" I would have considered the sojourn there a total failure. But Vivian is new to SL and should be introduced to all the aspects of society my girls and I move in: we are not always ballroom dancing socialites after all, and everyone should have a small taste of SL's sordid underbelly.

So there we were in Neva. The photos are risque, but offer a small taste:

This is Vivian, with Sarah just behind her. Vivian is flat out stunning, and created her face all on her own. She is new to the world, but is a rather cheeky girl at heart. She has this quietness about her, but she is always paying attention. Suddenly I find myself surrounded by Aussie women, and I rather like that.

The other missing part of the puzzle is Tars. She is not an Australian, but is a dedicated explorer. Her journey through SL has been as dramatic and diverse as my own. But to see her last night, elegant and empowered, well I felt a bit self conscious. Its hard when all your friends are more beautiful than you are. God that sounds more shallow than I intended it. I revel in my friends beauty, but we as women, I think, have a hard time shaking that girlish curse of self image. The scary truth is that it is very hard to always be 100% confident in yourself, and for me, at least, a lot of insecurity can attach to body image. Having been a stick of a scrawny girl all my life, sometimes I am, even in Virtuality, confronted with my awkward inner girl looking back at me. Ah but no matter, Tars is wonderfully beautiful in all the right ways. See for yourself:

I am coming near time to end this post, which like many, never ends the way I think it will start. I have more to say about last night, so perhaps you will get another post for today. I am less brave than I though when it comes to talking about my scandalous behavior. I don't want to be too shocking. But I will close on this note:



My favorite shoe designer in SL is Sylfie Minogue. Her Prim Seduction store is mecca for shoe lovers. What I like about Sylfie over most of the other, very good designers in SL, is that her shoes walk a wonderful balance between classic and edgy and yet remain firmly planted in whimsy. I will do a whole post on Sylfie some day.



When I first met Tars and SarahJ, they were confined to the early stages of shoe awareness. They were both much too beautiful for those awful shoes that SL provides. All women deserve good footwear, and so I bought them both a pair of Sylfies. Last night, they were both wearing the shoes I had given them.

I leave you for now, with a promise of more later.
Enjoy!

No posts yesterday, I was out in the field getting gawked at by construction workers. Am I a really bad girl if I bask in this attention. I mean officially I am a professional and a feminist, and officially the wolf-whistles and eyeball-undressing should offend me, but there is a secret part of me that loves the attention. I love that I can be a distraction to these men, and interrupt their daily routine, just to stop and check me out.

Of course, guys, if you do this with the expectation of getting a positive introduction, forget it. It might make me a hypocrite, but really, as much as I like being the object of wolf-whistles from strangers, once I know you, its a liability. So its safer to not do that and intrigue me in other ways.

On the other hand, if we are on a trolley, and I catch you watching me play with my foot-stare goddamit! :) I guess maybe I like to be the obvious one in the relationship. But being appreciated is sexy. For those of you in second life, please, please don't IM me and tell me how beautiful you think I am. Say it in public. Whenever I get IMs in the game, I feel like the guy is hitting on my friends as well, and trying to keep it secret.

Don't get me wrong, you should hit on my friends, they are all very sexy. But really, I like making them jealous, and its nice when someone publicly tells me they think I am beautiful. All the attention will go to Tars and SarahJ, and Viv, and Megz, and, well I cannot fill out a list so long, but hey, We girls have egos too.

Now on to better things. Megz, one of the heroines of many yet to be posted entries, now has her own blog. You want to see the first entry, as retro lingerie is very appealing. Her link is: http://megzling.blogspot.com/

Also her friend Mary Baphomet also has a blog worth checking out, as Mary has a great sense of style. So check out:http://marybaphomet.blogspot.com/

Last Week in Hard Alley

Well another new post as I steal internet from my neighbours. I am such a 21st century Danger Girl. I suppose I should add bandwith pirate to my resume.





Last week, when I started this blog I was in the strip club in Hard Alley (the best place for hedonism in SL. I wanted to test out my new Shiny Things white slingbacks and meet SarahJ and hear Megz voice, which is seriously hot. I wish I could gather the courage to voice. But somehow my SL experience is dependent on the anonymity. I cannot do what I do in voice. I have tried, but there is too much reality there. I choke up and find my own limitations over and over.

In any case, voice free, here are the shoes:

Megz, me, SarahJ

I love how funky Megz heels are. She always gets these killer wardrobe combinations right: like classy/punk/schoolgirl. Megz styles in layers, never entirely one thing, but touching on a few things. Sarah is just always dead sexy.

I would comment more on the rest of the night, but alas I did not get photographs. I ran into summer and we went to the girls school, and failed in our efforts to seduce a new faculty member. It got late, and my cable modem let me down.
