A pesar de que SL tiene atractivos inmensos. En SL no existen las distancias y los avatares pueden volar y sentirse casi como en una utopía.
Pero la increíble imbecilidad humana hace de este paraíso virtual un vertedero de debilidades humanas, un show patético de existencias truncadas, una exhibición de estupidez más grande que el reality "Gran Hermano".
Estoy hablando por supuesto del sexo en SL, de los casamientos y de los "bebés".
Hoy me voy a dedicar a hablar de los casamientos en Second… Continue

Dear SL Friends,
Topaz took blue ribbons in his first horse show, ever! He is of our therapy horses and has been training, since he needed a little something more in his life at Great Strides. Topaz, ridden by his trainer Jen, took blue ribbons in Training Level 1 and Training Level 3 tests and left the competition in the dust.
Congrats, Topaz!

¡Qué puedo decir del canelón! Es un tipo fantástico. Siempre fue muy divertido estar con él. Hace mucho que no lo veo pero no me estoy conectando demasiado.
Osoblanco tocaba la batería en una banda de rock llamada Avatar y siempre que estuve online los fui a ver.
He aquí una foto antigua del Oso. Si no me equivoco es la primera que le saqué.
Con respecto a su personalidad, creo que tiene… Continue

I am such an ass!
There. I just thought I’d get that out there, up front and personal. I suck. Hard. Why, do you ask? For waiting this long to bring you this skin review. Siddean Munro of SLink (SLURL) released two LOVELY sets of skins back on April 25th, and I am only now getting around to blogging about them. Forgive me, Siddean!!! Real life took over for a few. *sadface*
With all of that said, I’d like to introduce you to Cate and Madison… the beautifully designed skins made especially for… Continue

Great Strides Stunned by 150% Insurance Increase Out of the Blue
Our insurance provider for Workman's Compensation, IWIF (Injured Workers Insurance Fund) a virtual monopoly in our area, recently stunned us with a bill for a $5,000 increase in our coverage - a 150% increase. This rude surprise came out of the blue and while we have appealed the decision on the facts and complete lack of reasonableness we had to pay upfront or be ruled out of compliance with employment laws.
This has blown a si… Continue

Hoy quiero hablar sobre una tendencia de la que ya me había enterado pero no sabía que era una práctica extendida.
Como ustedes sabrán, en SL podés hacerte un avatar de nene o nena pequeño. De cualquier edad. Linden Labs (la empresa detrás de SL) anunció en un comunicado que no aprobaba el "ageplay" o como puede decirse en castellano "juego de edades" ya que habían recibido denuncias de que se utilizaba a avatares de niños para tener sexo con ellos, lo cual es una forma de paidofilia virtual as… Continue

I’m sure most of you that are reading this now have also read my previous review on Beauty Avatar’s (SLURL) skins. Well, I’m about to eat virtually every word I said in terms of what improvements were needed… sure, the Nefertiti skin needed some adjustments. But… what I’m about to show you makes up for all of them.
The newest line, Nemesis, released only a week and a half ago on April 17th, has got to be one of the most beautiful, soft, delicate and simply ~glowing~ skins I’ve seen in all my sk… Continue

No longer do i look forward to logging onto SL now. My life has become a shell of it's former self, this cursed futaprick causing more aggravation and pain than pleasure. It has caused me so much distress, I have lost many friends and jobs. I have lost even more jobs for being a neko.
Reality is hitting home now, and the life of a transgendered neko should not be envied. Neither elements of my concept are celebrated, I keep getting lumped in with the furries, and on the other hand, i am treated… Continue

Sita Loire, the creator behind the Beauty Avatar line, has undoubtedly become a contender in the great race that is skin design. A relatively new designer, she has released lines of clothing for both men and women, as well as shoes, shapes, and skins. Ahhh… skins. My poison. What else would we be talking about today?!

It's no secret that I aim to please. Whoever I like alot, I will DO ANYTHING for, even if it means perverting myself and breaking what little inhibitions I have left.
When someone comes up to me and says "Do this really extreme thing with me, and make it the nastiest, most revolting experience you have ever experienced." I don't take that lightly. In fact, if the person were a paying customer, I would have told them to fuck off.
But when it's someone you trust highly and care about deeply, you… Continue

I have supported Hugsie's efforts whole heartedly and I wished all shemale adult entertainers were somewhat like her. She should b… Continue

Haciendo valer mi conocida calidad de intolerante, tengo que despotricar contra algo.
Me parece terrible que mucha gente tenga hijos prims en SL.
No sé si saben, pero te venden una especie de paquete con las formas de la panza embarazada según pasan los meses y cuando termina una discreta gestación, "das a luz" a un muñeco hecho de prims.
Me parece repugnante que se llegue a esto. Igual que las bodas o casamientos, pero bueno de ellos hablaré en otra ocasión.

Me enteré por Thara Smit que la isla que regenteaba, Buenos Aires, fue borrada por un dueño intolerante.
Una lástima, porque estaba preciosa y me gustaban los edificios altos para encontrarme con Octavo en sus azoteas.
Aparte, después de que desapareció Argentonia era el lugar más visitado por mí como refugio o para descansar de mis viajes.
Si quieren saber más del hecho, escuchen a Thara en Avatares sin Lag.

Last night I woke up screaming because I had found happiness in a new partner, and someone, whom I could only dub as Stalker, didn't approve of me having a wife or husband. In fact , they didn't approve of me existing. They had been stalking me for months in various alts, finally me and my partner entered into a fantasy world. One day my partner was training us how to patrol our village's streets and I was training alongside some new recruits, when a big bad cloaked figure, all big and sh… Continue

Now, I try to keep my ranting out of SecondLife because I don't want to be viewed as a total bitch. But this needs to be said.
Second Life, much like real life, have several similarities. Those of you who live in the real world, know that you have to work, maintain your appearance, and earn money for things you need/want.
Second Life is similar. If you want to make more money, you have to look good. If you want to look good, you need something better than the freebies you have been spoonfed. M… Continue

Bionic and I got divorced, so now I must focus my energies on something else. A new job would be ideal.
But where will I go? I feel like an alley "trailer trash" cat with million-dollar looks. I suppose I'd fit right in with Shitney Smears.
That's the downside to being a catslut, the unending supply of self-doubt and lack of confidence. According to Bionic, i don't have what it takes to be a headlining intersexed star because I'm not dominant or mean enough. Like I have to be a total bitch in… Continue

Yo ya conocía a Michael Bublé, pero pensé que cantaba canciones como "Mr. Bojangles" o algunas de esas que no me gustan. Pero descubrí que cantaba, uno tras otro, mis temas favoritos de toda la vida.
Por ejemplo, "That's all" es una canción que me encanta. Pero claro, yo tenía la versión de Mel Tormé que es mi preferida. Pero cuando escuché la de Michael, me pareció excelente.
"Quando, quando, quando" es una canción italiana. Aunque Engelbert Humperdinck la cantaba así en vez de ponerle el "Wh… Continue

Visité este SIM gracias a la recomendación de Pier Tempel, que es un contacto mío de Flickr. Y la verdad es que quedé gratamente sorprendida.
Es bastante grande y tiene muchos detalles para áquel que disfruta explorando.
El SIM está ambientado como un gran bosque. Hay estatuas parecidas a la de la Isla de Pascua escondidas por todas partes. Hay colinas preciosas, donde se puede meditar en la cima...
Pero lo más sorprendente, es que está KING KONG. Casi me muero de la risa cuando lo vi. Muy di… Continue

i saw a red-eyed face.
and it was hard for me to open my eyes wider.
and I thought, i must be looked very down.
my eyes would get bloated eveytime after i cried.
after i'd arrived at the studio, i sat in front of the computer,
taking out my glasses and wearing them quickly
and then i felt safe to hide my eyes behind the glasses
And yes, i did weep again last night.
I never wished i'm so impressible

It is 7 in the morning on the 10th and I leave this evening to take three flights to finally see someone I believe I truly love.
That statement got me to thinking just how many of us have experienced this sensation. I have seen so many SL relationships come together and break apart in the short span since I first rezed. I have also seen people profess their love for one another in world and I have to ask myself if that love is for the portrayed character or the real person behind the pixels.

Can u distinguish SL from RL?
The answer for me is not.
I've just met some friends in SL, trying to hide everything about their RL, even their sex!
I don't know about their thoughts. Maybe they just wanna experiance a different life here, or it is just fun.
but have they noticed the friends they made here? Do they be aware of their friends' feeling, when the truth is uncovered one day. would they feel be tricked and stupid?
what i'm thinking about is, SL is always real life in a lot of ways.

Well, i've been keeping myself busy creating some stuff, of which one is a new store (thanks and kisses go out to Kari, Kait and Thorsten from Crossworld Colonies) in the sky above Tarnotopia.
A Hernán lo conocí a los tres o cuatro días de entrar a SL. Nos conocimos de casualidad porque un par de gentes del grupo "Argentina" nos pusimos de acuerdo para ir todos a un mismo lugar. Entre ellos estaba el señor Fitzgerald.
Hernán es muy aplicado en SL. Hace pipas que largan humo y todo. Me enseñó muchas de las cosas básicas que necesitaba saber y me ayudó de mil maneras para mejorar mi experiencia en SL.
Acá tienen una foto con su servidora.
Just two jeans with a sculpt part.

SI bien no soy muy conocida en SL, creo que me precede mi fama de desnudista.
Explico bien porqué.
Por alguna razón muchísimas veces no me puedo vestir en SL. A pesar de que las prendas aparecen como "Worn" ( o sea, usadas en ese mismo momento) no se ven sobre mí. En realidad, las personas las ven brevemente y luego desaparecen, dejándome totalmente en cueros.
Cuando eso pasa, no me queda más remedio que usar "la armadura", que es una especie de trasto de metal muy grotesco. Pueso usar eso so… Continue

You know the types...

That you can always count on them?

February's release for Beck's Fine Jewelry includes three jewelry sets and stylish sunglasses in 14 colors.
The Alexandria set, an homage to my home state of Louisiana, is my
first sculptie set of jewelry and is accented with a single white pearl
at the center of each flower.
The Valencia set is a delicate mixture of platinum decor and diamonds
accents, with a single diamond stud at the center of the choker.
