Postcard from Second Life. Making like a tourist in Gion Visit Gion (204, 160, 27)

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

Bald and Beautiful_001 by Lelani Carver Sometimes, things go awry in Second Life, and stuff that’s normally attached to you.. .like hair… just refuses to come along to the party when you manage to log in. Earlier tonight, I ended up on the roof of a music-and-art club of some kind, completely hairless and unable to attach anything on my head. So I stepped into a nearby kinetic sculpture to just deal with the moment…

Evening Prayer_001 by Lelani Carver This is how I spend some of my time on Second Life: in church. Yes, I’m weird. And I’ll twitch my tail and flick my kitty ears in irritation if you think there’s anything wrong with that. Hee! I’m a LOLcat! In church. Yep. I often attend services at the Anglican Cathedral on Epiphany Island. Lately, we’ve gotten a lay adminstrator and we’ve got music going, plus a weekly Bible…
