Happy Birthday Marky…….

Click Picture

Was lazing around today in my new home in my sweet capri’s and sweater from Ducknipple,and these awesome RFL one of a kind sneakers from Charmed Breedable Fashion. My messy D!va hair pulls it all together. Moving in SL is so much fun, a few clicks your all packed and ready to move to a new location. Unpacking and setting up is such a breeze, I’m being silly and hoping one day First Life will be as easy. Yes, I am being fitted for a white jacket as I type. Eventually my lazing around had to end as I wanted to go to Marky Helstein’s Birthday party. As I blogged yesterday the line up was awesome!

I arrived as Mason Thorne “Mason plays mostly folk music but you might get lucky and hear something from this century as well” was well into his rendition of Snoop Doggy Gin n Juice and the place was hopping. He made it through his half hour without the stage hook grabbing him. Wearing a kilt in Marky’s honour he even threw in a few Scottish songs. Great half hour of tunes and jokes. You can catch a Mason show yourself at Surfside Hideaway 28/05 3pm slt.

Lisa Brune “The voice of an angel does not do Lisa proud, clear ethereal touching, moving..all words used to describe Lisa and how she makes you feel.” took the stage next and took everyone to heaven and back with her beautiful voice. A half hour of Lisa is not just enough. Lisa can be hear a24/05 1pm at The Rose Theatre.

Next on the Birthday stage was Russell Eponym “Russell “The Merman” Eponym is one of the first live musicians in Second Life and has performed in most of the major venues. Primarily influenced by the British and European folk tradition, His unique sound is characterized by meticulous finger picking guitar style, soft lulling voice and charming British stage presence.” the ultimate folk singer who captures your attention and doesn’t let it go till the last note has been sung. Hear Russell for yourself at Lacey’s Place 24/05 3pm slt.

There were a lot more fantastic performers but First Life caught up with me and I had to leave. The party was well attended and I’m pretty sure I counted 70 avi’s at one point. Happy 22nd + Birthday Marky!

I’m still here…………..

It’s been a few days since I’ve blogged but it’s that time of year when First Life gets busy and will probably be this way for a few months. I have not stopped blogging as a few people had thought. Thank you all who messaged me it’s nice to know people are actually reading me. I haven’t been around the grid much to see any music but there are a few things I wanted to talk about. So dressed in this great pink sweater from Fishy Strawberry, jewelry from Zed and hair from Truth, I feel all comfy and ready to blog.

First off, tomorrow, May 23rd is Marky Helstein’s First Life Birthday and a big bash with lots of awesome, music will be happening. It all starts at 2pm slt at Marky’s Place and the line up is as follows:
2-2:30pm   Frog Marlowe
2:30-3pm   Mason Thorne
3-3:30pm   Lisa Brune
3:30-4pm Russell Eponym
4-4:30pm Sassy Nightly
4:30-5pm Matthew Perreault
5-6pm       Soar
6-6:30pm Shannon Oherlihy

8-8:30pm Max Keene
8:20-9pm Puddy Quan

Anyone who follows music in SL knows Lord Gar Rau and most likely also knows Gar’s mother is fighting esophageal cancer and as her primary care giver, Gar is no longer on SL as often as he would like to be. When he owned The Source, a venue many of us treasured, his mother would often listen to the artists perform and it brought them both great joy. Now, they spend the bulk of their time in hospitals for chemo treatments or in the car traveling to and from these hospital visits. The cost of travel and medical expenses is taking it’s toll and would be a hardship on most anyone.

Rhi’s Poem is planning a benefit for Gar and his mother for June 1, 2013. With the help of Dark Rau they have compiled a list of Gar’s very favorite performers on SL and it is sure to be an awesome event and help lift Gar and his mom’s spirits. I will blog a line up in a few days.

In addition to the music events they are also hosting a rummage sale, with the proceeds being donated by each seller to the cause. Much like a First Life community outreach for someone, where often the neighborhood church will host a large community wide secondhand sale. This is what they are creating for this benefit for Lord Gar and his mother. If interested in helping out please contact Meegan Danitz, Corialote Dougall or February Jinx for a Yard Sale tag. So that you’ll be able to rez at the venue on the day.

A great way to help someone who loves SL music as much as we do and clean out our inventory of unwanted items at the same time.

Lay around Saturday…..

Click Picture

Don’t you just love those Saturdays when you have nothing that has to be done and you can just lay around and do what ever you want. That’s exactly what I did at my SL home today. I slipped on these great shorts from M.o.w, top from Blueberry and finished with hair from Sadistic Hacker. I found a good book and relaxed reading in the backyard.

I wasn’t around the grid much today but I did want to tell everyone about a few events going on Sunday, May 18.

Sonix , Marky Helstein’s First Life band will be playing at MadPeas tomorrow for Feed a Smile. Streaming live from Ayrshire, Scotland the band will do a 2 hour set, covering a wide variety of music from the 50′s, 60′s & 70′s through to modern rock and pop. Tp over to Mad Peas 2pm slt for an awesome 2 hours of music and instead of tipping the band buy some meals for Feed a Smile. Sonix Website

A bit on Feed a Smile Charity, run by Brique Topaz – Feed a Smile (brique.topaz). “The Lavender Field for Feed a Smile is the place to meet people and hear some of the most amazing musicians that SL has to offer. All donations are used to pay for meals for very needy children on the Live and Learn in Kenya Int’l program. For more information: http://www.llk-selb.de or contact Brique Topaz” Each 100L donated buys a meal. Musician’s donate their time to this worthwhile cause, so when you have some time check out search or just tp over to Lavender Field for some good music and donate if you can. Facebook

As I blogged yesterday there is a fun Relay for Life of SL weekend of music and events going on. “The sim is being created as an “Alice in Wonderland Mad Hatter Tea Party” celebration.” I did pop over today and it is an awesome build, so put on your inner child and go step into wonderland and partake in the activities. Here’s your ride.

Garage hanging……

Click Picture

Today my bestie Owl and I hung out at the GarageDesigner Fair 2013, spending more Linden than we planned too! There are a lot of great items to be bought and many stores have a freebie box for 0 or 1L. The sim is well designed and easy to manover and runs from from May 15 to May 29, 2013.
“The Garage Fair Is the most actual concept and new in SL. The Theme is based in a Casual & Fashionista Style Old, New and Mixed.
This is a Great Opportunity to meet New Designer, New Style & Old Designer Too.” Here’s your taxi.

This evening I had the pleasure of hearing two performers I’ve not blogged before. I was invited to a house warming for my friends Jinx and FT. They have a very pretty SL home and had two very good performers for their guests pleasure. I do have to mention though, they ran out of crabs puffs… just saying.

The evening first performance was by SaraMarie Philly “Pop music Singer/Songwriter from Philadephia, PA”. Seated at a piano she sang away the hour with song after song in her beautful voice. Sara is defintely one to see again. You can hear her yourself at Vegas Nights Lounge 1/05 7pm slt. Find out more about Sara on her website.

Sylar Morrisey was the other performer at the house warming. Acoustic goodness with a very mellow and moving voice. The hour rushed by but I could have listened a lot longer. He even plays Barenaked Ladies songs so you know he’s good! Hear Sylar at Endless Delirium 20/05 8pm slt.

This weekend is the half way mark for Relay for Life and RFL of SL is having a weekend of music and events.The sim is being created as an “Alice in Wonderland Mad Hatter Tea Party” celebration. The Halfway There Awards Ceremony is planned for 4pm SLT on Saturday, May 18^th. Everyone is invited to join in and explore the sim. The day starts 10 am slt. Here’s your ride.

I love clothing huds!

Click Picture

Check out the marvelous dress and boots in my picture. The dress by LouLou and boots by Red Mint both come with a colour change hud that allow you to make numerous different texture and colour changes. This lovely blonde hair from Milana is just perfect for my summery look.

I was wandering around the grid and came upon this great little cafe. The Sweet Beans Cafe is located on a very pretty sim that has been set up as a meeting area for friends. The owners encourage people to come over and enjoy the facilites. Have a virtual cup of coffee with your pals, do lunch, play greedy, use the pinball machine or sit around the fireplace and chill. There are all kinds of fun things here for public use. I took advantage of the telescope to check out the interesting looking ruins on an off sim island across from the cafe. If your looking for a nice meeting spot check out the Sweet Beans Cafe.

Today I spend an hour at Guthries one of my favourite venues in SL. Picker Apogee was on stage getting ready to do what he loves and that is pick. “Picker discovered country blues, ragtime, and fingerstyle guitar and has been hooked ever since. Rarely playing with a pick, he prefers the use of thumb and bare fingers to express himself musically, seamlessly blending folk, pop, rock and ragtime, he breathes new life into familiar songs through stunning musicianship and clever arrangements!” Awesome tunage from this fellow, a very enjoyable hour. His love of pickin shines through brightly. See him yourself at Guthries 23/05 8am slt.

I stopped by Surfside Hideaway later on and found Seamore Wildehart playing. ”Seamore plays Acoustic Guitar and a variety of other instruments so will be laying down his own backing tracks in time. Seamore is an eclectic performer with a voice that is subtle,whimsical and carries you to the past with ease. Playing his own interpretation of mostly 60′s,70′s 80′s popular music with a few originals.” Always full of spirit and great covers of well loved songs as he serenades from the home of the Beatles. I don’t think there is any Beatles song he doesnt know either. Tp over to M&V Musicland 17/05 2pm slt and have a listen to Seamore.

Following Seamore was my rocker friend Laidback Celt. I haven’t heard him in a while and missed his rockin vibe. “LaidBack says he was born to rock. With a rock ‘n roll voice, a rock ‘n roll soul, an acoustic guitar with a little bit of distortion and a whole lot of attitude… who’s to argue???” LB was definitely rockin the Surfside stage and even played my favourite original of his. Treat yourself to a LB show and ask for the Slutty girl song aka Gone Baby Gone. Laidback will be back at Surfside 23/05 at 2pm slt.

The date to apply to be involved in Second Life’s 10th Anniversary is quickly coming to a close. Applications for Exhibitors, Performers, slots in the Auditorium and for Volunteers will be closing at midnight on May 20th. If interested, you’ll find all the information here.

Do you like fashion shows? This Saturday Allure is having it’s first runway event for the Allure and 360 mesh clothing line. The event is being run by AIM and will have over 12 models in the even. The show starts at 4pm slt May 18th, and seating limited to land limits (90ish) Including Models, Staff, and Guests so get there early and grab a seat! Here’s your Limo. Facebook

That retro feel…………..

Click Picture

Doesn’t this cute dress, hair and shoes from D&G make you feel all retro? It certainly did and I’m loving this look. It made me want to go out and listen to good music and dance.

This week The Cavern owned by Carmen Cardone celebrates it’s 1 year anniversary in SL. ”The original Cavern Club was opened in 1957 in Liverpool inspired by the Jazz district in Paris where there are a number of clubs in cellars like the Cavern is. The Beatles first played there on the 9th of February 1961″ A huge Beatles fan herself Carmon has managed to replicate the Cavern and make it into a great place for good music in SL. Here’s a good blog about Carmen’s Cavern with some great pictures.

I stopped by this evening and heard Bronze8020 “genres of music include anything from Classic Rock to Country to Folk to Blues to Irish ditties and much more. You will hear songs from The Beatles, The Eagles, Bob Dylan, Simon and Garfunkel, Bee Gee’s, Don Mclean, Elton John and his songlist rocks on.” doing what he does best on The Cavern’s stage and that is sing his brand of classic rock along with a few folk, country, blues or whatever the audience might like. Bronze has a mellow style that warms your heart. See him for yourself at Surfside Hideaway 20/05 1pm slt.

A favourite of mine was playing at Ragged Edge so I had to go and have a listen. Chapman Zane,“Chap’s songs of family and love mixed with traditional melodies of the mountains take you back to a simpler time in life. His melodic claw-hammer and flailing style of banjo will capture your heart.” one of the best pickers I’ve ever heard and a talented song writer. Chap has a huge and impressive song list with many originals. Check Chapman out at Under the Willows 17/05 6pm slt.

Not ready to call it a night I headed to Sheries Gaslight to hear Lightin Lowtide. “Lightnin’s show is an energy packed one of love for music and a bit of insanity as he talks with his Guitar Ruby and she talks back.” Awesome showman who makes the hour fly by and leaves you wanting more. You always leave a Lightnin show smiling and humming. Tp over to The Purelife Lodge 15/05 at 5pm slt and hear him for yourself.

As luck would have it my good friend Chillee Hernadoz “My roots are blues….but I like to sing a variety of music from all genres” was after Lightin so I had to stay. High energy, fun, crazy and a little bit naughty is what you get at Chillee’s shows. So bring your dancing shoes and head over to Solarwinds 15/05/8pm slt for an hour of Chillee.

Allure Fashions is at it again. A new gift card kiosk has been installed with some awesome deals. Gift cards start at 250L and go to 25000L.

It’s Woodstock Wednesday again at Commune Utopia and Jon Bazar will be bringing his wonderful live acoustic sound to the Commune. For almost 5 years now Jon has been rocking the SL world with his acoustic sound, along with his charm, wit and amazing voice, he has won over many fans.
He has an extensive song list of 300 or more ranging from Cat Stevens to Pink Floyd and from R.E.M to U2. Drop by for an hour of awesome and meet the regulars. You won’t find a friendly group of people anywhere on the grid. Here’s your ride.

Introducing the new Egoisme…..

Click Picture

The new Egoisme sim is finally open and what a breathtaking build it is. The brand has always been known for their realistic avatars and high quality couture clothing, however, they have outdone themselves with their new build.The new sim is influenced by the art nouveau beauty of the real life Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II shopping mall in Milan, Italy, this new build is one of the most majestic shopping malls ever created in Second Life.

“The new Egoisme store is a new concept; not just a place where you can buy fashion and skins but a piece of RL art in SL. You can visit the place, learn about it and discover a new world. In Milan this Gallery is called also Milan’s drawing room, or “salotto di Milano” because it is elegant, you can shop and sit in the famous art nouveau style cafe. Art and fashion in the same place, which is an experience we made years ago and now we bring to next level, using the mesh technology, and new creations in theme. Egoisme will now launch many new pieces with some special offers to celebrate the new store. Plus our goal is to produce an Art Expo and we will launch new projects and transform the Egoisme main store into a real place where customers are protagonists and where people can finally discover real life architecture and art in a virtual setting.”

Here’s your taxi to the new elegant railway station. Spend some time exploring this astonishing shopping mall, sit and chat with friends and purchase some dashing new clothing or even a whole new look starting with an amazing new realistic looking skin.

Today some friends and I attended the Relay for Life Event on the beautiful Titanic in our gorgeous dresses from Allure and Zed. Our well coffed hair and jewels and we were the belles of the ball. Five hours of wonderful dance music by five awesome performers and surrounded by scores of well dressed avatars all gathered to help raise funds for Cancer Research. Dilah Halostar, Sorvea Perdide, Jacqueline Luik, Antonio Galloway and JPeabody Resident all very talented singers graced the Titanic s stage. If your a fan of ballads and great couples dance music I suggest you check out each of these performers.

This big boy is Eric, Sparklye’s SYSP (Structure your skin project) for the month of May. He’s a big boy but rather handsome don’t you think? Eric comes with his shape and today is dressed all in 360′s men’s line of Biker clothes. This is Sparklye’s only skin available at the moment while the new line is being developed. Keep reading for news of their of skins coming soon which I’m sure will be worth the wait.

Owl Dragonash’s Photography Opening at Commune Utopia was a huge success and very well attended. Beautiful pictures in a lovely setting and fun friendly people. I have to admit I did get a bit heady from the virtual champagne but I did enjoy myself. Owl’s picture will be there for the rest of the month so stop by and have a look, and meet the friendly group at the Commune.

What are your dreams?

Dressed in this really cool dress from Sugar & Cyanide, boots from Zed and yet another Truth hair I went to a place called Dreams yesterday. This is a project by Pho Vinternatt which contains an interview and photo exhibition. Placed in a long stark white hall you will meet 15 people with very different dreams. “Our dreams expose us, and opens our wounds and vulnerabilities. We choose our words very carefully when we do speak of them, because they’re frail and precious to us.” The dreams are quiet interesting to read and as you can see in my picture it prompted me to start writing down my own. Take a trip to Dreams today I guarantee you’ll enjoy it.

Helles Angels is where you find me most Wednesdays midday to see Jon Bazar and Mason Thorne.

This time of year Jon’s shows are few so of I always grab a chance to hear him streaming live. Jon’s unique style and one of a kind voice makes each acoustic cover sound like an original. His originals (when he can be coaxed to play one) are thought provoking and sung from deep inside. A RL/SL musician who loves to jam as much as he loves to breathe. Catch Jon at Commune Utopia for Woodstock Wednesday 15/05 12 noon slt.

Mason is usually on stage next with his own brand of acoustic covers. He also makes them his own because he changes words and makes them into his own whacky versions. You never quite know what he might come up with but if your looking for an hour of fun and laughter then you want to see Mason. You’ll most likely see some of the Mason Family at his shows so say hi. Mason will be at The Merry Prankster’s 09/05 8pm slt.

Thursday May 9th 12pm slt, at Commune Utopia, Owl Dragonash’s amazing and colourful photographs of her SL explorations will begin their display. Dj Sunshine will be spinning tunes for you while you take a trip through SL with Owl. Grab the rainbow ride to Commune Utopia.

“My Photos are a reflection of what I see in sl, people, places, moments.
I enjoy exploring
I spend a bit of time visiting art builds and beautiful sims that people create.
The creativity found in sl is truly amazing!
Photos are my way of remembering what I see.”

In the past few days as each of us has logged in we were required to read and accept a new TOS from Linden Labs in regards to money exchange. I find it still a bit grey due to some wording but found this blog which seems to shed a bit more light on the topic.

Another item of note is the phishing is again running rampant. In the last week I have seen at least 15 attempts in various groups I am in to lure people into divulging their login information which allows the perpetrator to steal the SL account. Here is a good blog on the subject. Be careful what you click on in group chats and notices and stay safe.
