Sharp and pointy

Aswell as getting some guns during my freebie shopping expedition I also picked up a sword. I needed one to go with my samurai outfit, y'see.

Again, it's really just an excuse for some pose photos.


The samurai au repose.



Just don't make me angry.


You wouldn't like me when I'm angry.


Whhhhhhhhhhhhhhyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?!?

Licensed to kill


The other day I was freebie shopping on XStreet. Whoever persuaded me that would be a good idea wants shooting. Which is very handy, because one of the free things I picked up was some guns.

Now I'm not in to RP and stuff so I don't think I'll particularly use these out and about, especially since I've been told they damage chickens, but they make for some cool photos poses.






Kids, it's not cool to play with guns. However cool it makes me look here.

Party on!

Yesterday I went to a party. It was the joint birthdays and anniversary of Faerie and Dunan who I met a couple of weeks ago.


Unfortunately I had to leave pretty much as soon as I'd arrived due to the germs that have taken up residence in my head deciding to throw a party of their own, and unfortunately that meant leaving before one of the birthday girls arrived. But I did manage to grab a couple of quick shots of their beautiful fantasy garden.


Faerie and Dunan, happy birthday and anniversary and all that stuff. I hope you had a good one, and Faerie, I am sorry for leaving before we made your grand entrance.

Further Whimsy

After the previous day's explorations around Whimsy I decided to head back yesterday to try and find a couple of other bits we'd missed.

I had read a little while back about geysers on the neighbouring sim Whimcentricity and I knew I had to find them. Logging back in to find myself still on Whimsy seemed like the pefect opportunity.

And I arrived in perfect time, with one of geysers just about to blow.


Another part of Whimsy that I have been told about but never quite managed to find were the lava caves. Fortunately when I logged on yesterday Cheyenne was online so I bothered her and interrupted her conversation with friends to give me pointers as to their location. She was very obliging, as always. I even took heed of her advice and donned the protective boots and scuba gear provided.

There is a way in to those caves...


...but no way out!

A magical mystery tour

Whimsy is one of my fave places in the SLuniverse. It's just so imaginative. It's building just for the love of it. And that really shows. The immense detail and care taken in everything is inspiring, it really is.

I've been over there a few times, as well as to the nearby Robot Sanitarium, but I always find myself drawn back, just to see what new goodies Chey & Xubi have cooked up.

The other night I took a friend there to explore. We fancied exploring a little, so I suggested Whimsy, she'd never been so over we hopped. After she'd put on her exploring boots and backpack of course. She is never one to caught unprepared. Oh and I apologise for the lack of decents photos. I was having issues that meant that pretty much anytime I took a shot I crashed. So I gave up.

I don't want to say too much about the place really as I don't want you to feel you no longer need to go there but I just want to give you enough of a flavour to entice you.

We started heading up hill towards the volcano . A real live working volcano that erupts and with a goddess that accepts sacrifices. The quickest way to get down from there was the zip line, of course.


Uphill from there, after a photo-related crash around about the sight-seeing binoculars, we came across a temple to the drinking bird that donimates the Whimsy landscape and down the hill from there there appeared to be an orca whale swimming in the air. I am sure it had a very good reason.

The highlight for me of any trip to Whimsy is always the train ride. If there was a prize awarded for the longest train ride in the SLuniverse the one on Whimsy would surely come close. But be sure to either take a deep breath or wear the scuba equipment provided as this is an amphibious train. Caves, mountains, dolphins, squid, lave beds, ... this train ride has them all. And much more besides.

A new addition I'd not come across before was the log flume ride. Down a lava river. Unfortunately it was closed. Like any good theme park there are always rides closed to entice you to return.

If you do follow my advice and head on over to Whimsy, please be careful when yodeling. The signs about falling rocks are not just for show.

The evening ended with us dancing through wild flower fields. Round Alicia's backpack, of course.


All in all it was a particularly fine evening. Exploring is so much more fun when you don't do it alone.

Easy Rider

To be honest, I've not done much in the way of Midnight Mania before. Nothing's ever particularly grabbed me. And when it has and I've slapped the board I've usually got a message telling me not enough other people did the same.

But this week was different. This week I heard about a sparkly little chopper. I reckon all men need a chopper in their inventory. To be honest, I think most lasses need one too.

I arrived at the store in question (sorry, no slurl as I'm rubbish, and no store name because I'm forgetful - but they make sexy bikes f'sure) and saw the board was up to about 105/140, I think. By the time I left after having a quick squizz around it was up to 125 or so. Man, I was excited.

And my excitement was not misplaced. I logged on the following day to find this little beauty in my inventory.


For moments like these everyone needs some Steppenwolf. /me sings "Get your motor runnin',..."

The only issue with the bike is that I have to rez it off my mudmound. I don't have enough prims left. But that's not an issue so long as I clean up after myself, right?

The monster lives

Almost three months after life was first breathed into the behemoth that was the 'Nekkid but Tasteful Buttpic' meme (and exhibition!) the restless monster has stirred. It was not so much dead as just sleeping it seems.

Thank you, Melissa and Maggie. Better late than never, eh? ;)
