Bobbo Gets Ruthed by Lelani Carver Only 20 minutes or so into our exploration of Etopia… or maybe this is the Garden of Apollo…. Bobbo had a little Ruth problem. I told him he now had a decent shot at getting virtually laid but he might not like it. I would like to take this opportunity to say that I personally think cybersex is not a good idea unless your level of trust is grounded in RL togetherness. But here again, Bobbo is a special case.

Embodiment of Spam_001 by Lelani Carver This spamvertising chick really got on my last nerve. I was at NCI Kuula the other night watching an "Oldbies Build" contest, which had a theme of "Games." It was really starting to get interesting, as the contestant on the right hand had constructed one of those tube-and-bead toys, and there was a chess set going on the other side, and behind me someone had constructed a DDR machine that light up when you stepped on the pads (the eventual winner). The host had donned a Space Invaders avatar for the occasion, and kept…

quintonatstonehenge_002 by Lelani Carver I have no idea why I took this perspective shot; I was fiddling with the camera and liked the drama of the guy in black standing up on the sarsen, gazing down like a dark angel. And then a couple of seconds later, his computer crashed and he slumped over.

quintonatstonehenge_001 by Lelani Carver Here I am, chillin’ at Stonehenge in sneakers and jeans, while a musician name Quinton performs, and his biggest fan dances beautifully in midair. Note the be-buckeled and be-booted woman to my left, who looks like she came direct from the Bad Fashion Show. I was feeling bad about being a little casually dressed – after all, it’s a house of worship to the large community of SL Druids that I inferred from the size and condition of the henge. But then I decided it was a beach resort as well, and I could have been…

Johnny99Miso_001 by Lelani Carver Darn, I didn’t note the name of the club this was at. JohnnyMiso99 performed a one-man blues-rock show that was also simulcast to a website, so that people that weren’t residents of Second Life could watch the show. Music was good, I danced, and eventually I wandered off somewhere, but first I had to get a shot of yet another insanely detailed guitar. The Bob Marley One Love T-shirt was also nicely done.

Meet Bobbo by Lelani Carver My friend Bobbo… he’s a special case. He’s a RL friend who stubbornly refuses to get with the “anyone can look like a supermodel” ethic on Second Life. So he made himself a ludicrously fat shape and found some ridiculous US Flag pants and figured out how to apply clown makeup. He’s a little disturbing to look at, my friend Bobbo. I hesitate to take him around to meet my friends. But we have a good time (usually talking on the phone at the same time) on his very occasional forays inworld. Bobbo is a…

Headspinningt_001 by Lelani Carver This is a somewhat older photo – it’s on the dancefloor at Etopia, and I was whirling around on an animation poseball that wrapped my “Elven dance outfit” up in knots around me. The outfit is actually a combo of this goofy lingerie set called “in the mood” and… a lacy black outfit complete with headscarf “suitable for mosque.” The textures are huge and bumpy, and I haven’t worn it in a long time, but it IS fun to dance in. Especially with a beribboned tambourine. ::eyeroll at my own folly::
