Friends Don't Let Friends TPWD

 

This is me moments after realizing how close I came to causing PIXEL TRAGEDY! 

IT WAS AN ACCIDENT! I swear!

Here's what happened. I was browsing the third floor of a shop called Fire Good! while waiting for Alicia Chenaux to arrive to  DJ a short set of tunes as a kick off an art event* at the Hallelujah Azul sim.  I walked casually to the edge of the balcony to watch the crowd gathering below.

Just then, Alicia IMd to ask me if I would TP her to the event location. I said yes, quickly sent the TP, and turned to walk back into the shop.

Suddenly a blur of high heels, black satin and blonde hair flew through my peripheral vision and I realized what I had done. I screamed in both worlds. Alicia announced in group chat that I had thrown her from a balcony. I collapsed in grief (and laughter).

If you look at the picture closely, you can see a tiny, Alicia Chenaux-shaped mark on the cobblestone down below.

Amazingly, she was able to walk it off and went on to play a great set. And I promise to never commit a TPWD (teleporting while distracted) again.

*The Hallelujah Azul Art Walk is an open air exhibit featuring 15 artists from across the grid and different corners of the world. The event runs through Nov. 30th.

DETANGLER! STAT!

Jerremy and I live on the shore of a Linden ocean and the Route 7 waterway. Boats drive by all the time. The boat behind me got stuck on a flag pole on the beach of the sim next door. I have no idea if it is an escapee boat or if it was abandoned - I never saw any people on it. The neighbors haven't been in-world a for a few days, so the boats is stuck until they can return it or its owner comes to get it. Every once in a while though, the boat struggles to free itself and flies up into the air for a few seconds.

I went out there to see if I could bump it or something (I couldn't). I liked the look of the wind blowing everything around, so I decided to take a picture here today. I got fancy and instead of using my default "surface of the sun" windlight setting, I tried out a few others. 

Queen of My Castle

Last night, Jerremy and I spent time designing things for our upcoming par-tay. I am sitting on the aquarium castle that I made. Since we are building our aquarium under water, when I took this photo, I had been holding my breath for over an hour. I know! Even I am impressed. This swimsuit makes my bottom look incredibly good, by the way. (You'll have to take my word for it.)

Happy Rez Day to our friend Adonis!

See that sad, slightly embarrassed look in Jerremy's eyes? That's him wondering if there is an Al-Anon chapter in SL.

Boot Scoot

Good gawd these boots make me tired. That is why I am on the ground in today's picture. When I purchased them, I adjusted them using the handy dandy resizer HUD. It took a while because the HUD does this nifty thing where as you increase the size of the calves, the feet get HUGE! Sadly, I think the calves were designed to fit a flamingo. I adjusted and moved prims until I looked somewhat normal, if long-footed.

Ahhh...but then I got too smart for my own good. I thought to myself, "Self, I'll bet these are chock full of laggy scripts!" And, seeing no 'remove scripts' function on the HUD, I decided to remove them on my own.

Sigh. 

So. What you see in this picture is the second pair I had to buy. Full of laggy scripts and giving Sasquatch a run for his money. But looking not half bad, if I do say so myself.

At least from this angle.

It's not as racy as it looks...

This picture is not as racy as it looks. Yes, Jerremy and I are sitting in our hot tub together. Yes, we have satisfied smiles on our faces. BUT we are both wearing tube tops and ski pants...which you cannot see in the photo.

Write your own caption!

We are having a party to celebrate Jerremy's 2nd Rez Day and I whipped this up as a draft of the invitation - but I think I am going to have to go buy a box and take a pic myself or design something from scratch if I want to do it properly. But the event is approaching quickly, so I will just surprise everyone!

The party is aquarium themed and costumes are highly encouraged - or you might drown. We are holding it in the bay next to Starting Point from 8:00-10:00 PM SLT on Friday November 20th. Please join us! We have our favorite DJ, Alicia Chenaux!

I still need to work on my costume and some aquarium accessories - such as a giant aquarium net.

I also just realized that a significant portion of the photos you will see over the next year will be of my back. Luckily, I have an adorable bottom. I will try to mix it up a little, though.
