Having had a troublesome week and severe inability to do anything I am ploughing on and getting some odd things ready for next week. I was very naughty *grin* a couple of hours ago... I bought some more land ;0)
With the provision of a little more ground space I have been able to do some shifting and poking, pushing, lowering and pulling. The secret thing in the sky is now... no longer in the sky! wOOt!
Ok ok I'll get to the point :) I have been trying to rez a few items unsuccessfully and started feeling a little annoyed about the time I was wasting until 'return of the little blue dialog box' (does that need a ® or a ™ ?) GGGrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr now I'm blowing steam and turning a nasty shade of green. I would add a picture of how I feel but the advice is not to change clothing, attachments or appearance ;p
Is it just me or is this happening wayyyy too often? Who wants to bet this happens on the day of the parade... errrmmmm no no I'll take that back because it may be interpreted as wagering!!

Trademarks & Political Correctness

Fashion from VR Designs - Spring 2008
The models are employed and the date is set! VR Designs mania is set to sweep around the world and cause hysteria. Life for me will never be the same again! I'm quite used to having sexy male undergarments thrown at me, but will I ever be able to move for paparazzi photographers snapping away at my every movement! I'll need to be careful who I mix with now because although I will cope with the media exposure, others may feel uneasy about it!
*giggles*
OK "/me comes back down to (virtual) earth" the parade is going to be on Saturday 5th April at 1pm (Second Life® virtual world time of course!). Most of the outfits (almost all) are going to be brand new & unreleased. Do you want to be the first to wear one? I will be setting up 16 bidboxes alongside the catwalk (figure and location correct at time of release) to start and end during the event. At the end of the parade all outfits will be going on general sale with many colour options planned.
The event is listed in the search database, set a notification, but don't trust it to work GRrrrrrrr to be more sure, join my group ~ VR Designs ~ (include the ~ in search or select and join from my profile) as I will be sending out notices and Group IMs as a reminder.... if they work on that day! We all love the Second Life® virtual world!!! Keep popping in here because there *might* be some very sneaky 'sneak previews' over the next couple of weeks!!
** a little message for my regular stalkers.... you *might* catch me wandering around wearing (test driving) some of the new outfits between now and Saturday 5th so pay close attention :))

You can stick your teleports up your.........
So I'm happily minding my own business - I do that a lot! - and I need to teleport to another sim to help someone out.... I don't have to, but I'm a good sort and I like to be there for others if they have a problem. Good old community spirit!I help a stranger in need and return to my 'home' location - currently my parade skybox; because that is where I am spending most of my time!
What the hell? I'm bald, what's that sticking out of my ass?? Oh no, return of the 'stick it up yer ass' teleport bug. Let's take a closer look at what I have collected up my ass today :
- One High Heel Shoe
- My Hair
- Two VR Designs Lovey Dovey Earrings
- My Engagement Ring
- My AO
- A Crystal Gadgets Radar
- A Facial FX HUD
- My Xcite HUD
- A Flight Assisting Nipple Ring
- My 'Be Happy' Add-On
Clearly I have a very big ass to fit that lot in!!! Time for a reboot I think!
We Luv the Second Life® virtual world!

Under Construction *AGAIN*
Sometimes it feels like all I ever do is build and rebuild. I call myself a fashion designer but feel like I do more building than I do designing! One day I'll be happy with my store *maybe*, but until then I'll probably continue with this endless feeling job.
I'm on a pretty quiet little sim, lag is usually not an issue and after looking at the *small* details that I wish to change I finally decide that the time has come to get this project pushing the boundaries of architecture. I don't know exactly what I'm doing or how I am going to do it... but here goes! I have put the boards around my development area - better than closing the store down completely, that's what all the big RL stores do isn't it?
I'm getting started on the work and before I know it I have to stop for a while and tend to RL....... ok back now! I really should be finishing the photoshoot I started.... it'll take maybe 20 minutes out of my busy building schedule. Once that is done my 'things to do urgently' list will be looking a little better and I don't have to feel guilty about moving some walls around in my possibly already *adequate* store.
Photo number one comes up trumps, I'm just about to take number two and................ OH NO not NOW. My region will be restarting in 5 minutes. I can't really move because these 6 pictures have to be identical poses in an identical position from an identical angle. I best rush through them or I'll have to start over. I don't have time to waste.
Hold on, only a mere 30 seconds has passed and I have another of these irritating blue boxes.... Region restarting in 3 minutes. Are minutes in the Second Life® world much shorter than RL ones?
Luckily I got the 6 pictures I needed just before my time was up. In panic i'm scrambling around with my mouse trying to get on to the map to TP away before the land is ripped from under my blingy prim shoed feet. Everywhere around me will be restarting too I suspect..... quick.... think of a sim, any sim... just not too local to here.......... Got one.... right, where do I want to land.... Clickety click...TP QUICK
Phewww I did it! Having lived a very boring life recently I can only think of one sim name in a very, very split second.... but I'm there! I've landed in a classy, executive looking courtyard. I'm surrounded by crazy paving and palm trees on the edge of a tropical looking sim. Behind me is the deep blue ocean... I walk forward and see a great sight, Smith Jacobs; a skelleton, clearly he's been camping so long that he's dead! (how many points do I get for working that out?) the hover text reads "Smith Jacobs earned 239l$ so far - time: 27 years 54 days". Now that gives me an idea... I'd like to vaporise all soul-less campers because they drive me mad! I refuse to rent a shop in a mall full of campers because the land traffic figures are nothing more than a fraud.
Anyway, back to the classy place I now find myself in.... the owner of the establishment has a tip Jar, I tip him $50 because he saved me from the darkness and doom of the region restart that threatened to eat me alive! While I am standing here looking upon *hopefully* the fate of zombie campers in the Second Life® virtual world, two people arrive, I wonder if they like this place as much as I do? I'll never know because when they start speaking.... it's in another language!
So 41 minutes after I arrived and hung around making this lovely place look untidy (while I typed this!!) I am going to leave Smith Jacobs to rest in peace! My host will by now have received his *small* token of appreciation and know exactily where I took refuge!!
(and just in case you missed the point of this ramble - I'm making improvements to my store!)
