Easter Egg Hunt for L$ and Prizes at The Station Now!

Visit here: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/The%20Station/187/89/1040




Welcome to The Station Easter Egg Hunt!  The hunt runs Tuesday through Saturday April 19th.  You will be searching for two types of eggs.  The golden eggs hold L$ and the multi-colored eggs have gifts inside.  Search the entire sim, ground level Dead City, sky level, The Floating City, and the many hidden areas around the sim to find thousands of Lindens worth of L$ and prizes, some small and some large.   The larger prizes may be harder to find, so enjoy exploring while hunting and have a great time.   Please join Miri's club group if you'd like to stay apprised of sim events.  Note: The ground level has some private residences and there will be no hidden eggs in these locations.  Please do not enter private rented residences.  The rooms that are NOT rented you may enter and search for hidden eggs. You can ride the human sling shot to get to the ground level and you can reach the sky level by taking a balloon ride up or enter the ground level fun house to teleport.  There are many hidden places in this sim.   If you have any questions please contact Kara Trapdoor, Enigmatic Deir or other sim staff if you see them around.  If an egg is not working properly, is emptied out, or there are other issues we apologize but this hunt is just for fun and no extra reimbursements will be made.  There are a lot of gifts and Lindens to find.   Thanks for visiting the sim and have fun!

Pranksters and Memes

A while back I suggested Strawberry Singh do one of her Monday Memes on practical jokes in Second Life, since I tend to be a fan as long as they don’t cross over into griefing or causing potential defamation, harm, or really making someone feel bad, overly embarrassed or angry.  She used this practical joke idea for her meme this past Monday and I’m finally getting around to blogging it myself.  See her meme list here:http://strawberrysingh.com/

 

I have enjoyed a few practical jokes over my time in SL and some just verge on creating a fun or nice surprise while others do qualify as a real practical joke.  What spurred me to suggest this for one of Strawberry’s memes is that since I’ve been hanging around The Station and the friendly folks over there,  I’ve been up to a little no good myself on occasion for fun. 

 

*The Prank- Soon after I met sim owner Enigmatic Deir I decided he needed his place toilet papered so I went about tping his place leaving waving strips of  the white stuff hanging from the ceiling and furniture and rolls of it lying all about.  When I was about done two of his good friends and sim managers showed up to see, and we decided to take some “delightful” photos of the 3 of us to also leave for him.  To this day one of those pics hangs in his bedroom and is also in his profile picks. 

 

*The Revenge-E was quick with the revenge gifting each of us a crazy, deranged, blood pecking, chasing, crazy steampunk chicken.  The thing is truly annoying and relentless once rezzed.  Then he put one or maybe a couple of these beasts in his funhouse over at The Station here:   http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/The%20Station/196/50/1040   and I can’t even draw a weapon quick enough to shoot that sucker.  I began plotting revenge immediately. 



*The Prank-The 3 of us girls left chicken feathers and pieces all over  his place along with photos and a video of us doing away with his chicken demon. 

 

 

 *The Revenge-Not long after that the 3 of us girls who participated in the above pranks each rezzed into our homes only to soon find a huge amount of motion trigger explosives, that yes, exploded all over the place.  Luckily I'm fast with the camera at times and caught a couple of  pics of the explosion.

*After that I took to leaving special notes and once filled E’s place with over 300 balloons in the main room so that when he rezzed in he was mostly covered with poppable balloons.  When he IM’d me asking if I left something in his place that he would be returning, I told him to hang on I was on my way over to help pop those suckers as I did NOT want over 300 balloons in my inventory.

 

*The Revenge- ok so his latest prank to me was a bit off the charts and naughty so I can’t reveal it here but now I need to think of something extra special to get him back with… anyone have any great ideas?

  

Over time I’ve done little pranky things to other friends, some others that come to mind are leaving porn under my neighbors office desk,  parking my trike, then stack of rusted old cars, and other things in the office parking spot he so kindly made for me.  Of course he was worse.  Once we were in a meeting talking about very serious stuff and there was a box of truffles on the office table we sat around.  The next thing I knew one was on my nose and then a few other unmentionable places.  I was laughing so hard and I couldn’t get the things off me until it dawned on me to delete them as I was the one who had left them on the table in the first place.  Thankfully no one else noticed.   Of course it’s always easier to prank when you have rez rights and/or the other person’s build perms.  Anyway, those are just a few of the fun things I remember.  Let me know if you have some other cute good prank ideas.

Happy New Year's Eve- SL Events and Fashion

Happy New Year's Day to my SL friends in other countries that have already hit the mark, and happy New Year's Eve to my American friends.  I'm about to head out the door for some RL celebrating for some hours but before I go will leave my blog with a couple of pics of some SL New Year's Outfit ideas and events for tonight.   When I return home late tonight (early tomorrow morning) it will be the new year, but I will pop in to SL for a little celebrating here too. 


A fun party I will miss will be with friends at Miri's at The Station here: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/The%20Station/128/128/4 Their theme for the night is formal and should be a lot of fun from 6pm SLT to whenever but especially from  6-8pm SLT.   Then later at Scarborough Fair for some fun and dancing from 6pm SLT to whenever, but especially later around midnight my time.  Izzy usually does a great New Year's bash binging in the new year with each time zone on her time keeping thing that shows all zones.   I know they'll be hopping late so will catch up with SL friends there after midnight. http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Upper%20Fenland/128/128/60

I will be formal tonight but I found some cute outfits on marketplace.  The first 2014 bodysuit is here:https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/2014-Gold-Catsuit/5522935  I traded out the hat for a little 2014 tierra though that a friend gave me.  Then I tried on the  Irrisistible burlesque type outfit here: https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/irrisistible-2014-NEW-YEAR-WOMEN-FULL-OUTFIT-mesh-transfert/5601546 and I posed them up in a invitation gift I received from Izzy who makes things like this in her stores also over in her Scarborough Square.  Even her invite pose gift was cool in that you could click the menu sit on the pose and change things with the menu.  She is a gifted builder/designer.  If you visit her party you can cam out or visit her stores and see for yourself. 

Her invite says: "Stop by and help us celebrate the end of 2013.  Join us from 6:00 PM SLT until 2013 hits the west coast of North America. We're having a New Year's Eve Party with gifts, drawings fun party favors, games great music and conversation. Best couples dances in SL and some pretty great solos, if you don't carry your dances with you.

Hope you can make it. In any case, I hope you will enjoy this little gift include with the invitation. Sit on the unicycle and take some photos, will ya?

See you New Year's Eve!
Isabelle Mavendorf"

Whomever you celebrate with tonight whether it be RL or SL, or even the TV and yourself, be safe, have fun, and look forward to a great 2014.  Happy New Year!

Tis the season and all that!  At this point I want to take a moment to blog a huge thank you to many people but first I want to tell you about some great gifts free for the taking.  Some of the items are also transfer so might make nice gifts to re-gift to others-just in time for the holidays.  Just stop over at The Station to pick them up.  

The free gifts are as follows:
*-Exclusive adorable and fun new light up women's Rudolph dress and matching men's shirt (made by Sonrisa Seminario)
*-Santa Baby sexy female outfit (made by Nix Greymyst) comes with sexy and "naughty" sexy styles
*-2014 Calendar (made by yours truly) suitable for re-gifting as they are transfer/copy
*-A cool underwater full dive suit (made by Enigmatic and Sonrisa)
*-Station Sports jacket and also a fun t-shirt that says "I got serviced at The Station" (made by Sonrisa)
*-A Steampunk Christmas Story  intellibook, perfect for a Christmas gift and is transfer (made by Sonicity Fitzroy)  ( note I play the role of a cat in it-so have a look)

So those are the gifts...... now for the thank yous...

Most of you who know me well know I've been hanging out with a great guy Enigmatic Deir who built and owns  The Station sim and so he's letting me do what I want around there which includes curating The Skywalk Art Gallery and also a little PR etc.  He and sim manager Sonrisa are giving me the privilege of announcing the sim gifts above as well as offering thanks to all The Station patrons and those who have been a part of the sim's success in such a relatively short time. 

First an acknowledgment and personal thank you to the sim owner who made this whole sim loaded with fun stuff to see, do, and play with, Enigmatic Deir, and also to Staryiefurio who helped organize and manage the sim and Sonrisa Seminario, sim manager who also makes many things for the sim and helps organize and coordinate on a regular basis. (note gifts above too)  Ok, those were my thank yous, for these are the people who make and share, so that I and others can enjoy.

Now,  a  huge thanks to Miri's Club owner Mirianette and all her staff DJs, hosts and hostesses with special thanks to Nacht, Jax, and Sasha for their ongoing work and support.  Moi  (Me Orfan) has joined forces with Miri to coordinate club events and we are very thankful for her time and efforts in doing so.

Next we are very thankful to all those who have made the Skywalk Gallery a huge success including artists, Bryn Oh, Sina Souza, Burk Bode, Male Vansant, Zach Larsen, Chaos Richard, Josie Anderton, and Sugar Silverstar. 

Thanks also to live musicians at The Station Avram Zapedzk (Av)  who sings live mike at The Attic venue in The Station each Monday evening at 6pm SLT, Josie Anderton, Savannah Coronet, and AMForte Clarity who have also entertained at live events.

Thanks to Brett and Morgan Linden for adding the sim to the destination guide, BOSL magazine for the October feature, and to all those who nominated and voted for The Station in the Avi Choice awards.

Finally a HUGE thank you to all the visitors and bloggers to the sim which ultimately makes it more fun for those of us hanging around.

Flickr Collaborators and Posers (FCP) was a longstanding group, now mostly inactive, that comprised a large number of SL residents who met weekly Fridays and/or Sundays, accommodating various time zones over a 3 year period.  The group was founded around February 2008 by Katiya who also organized many of the photo shoots.  A pre-selected theme and location was arranged and announced in the in-world and Flickr groups then people would get together and pose for group shots in costumes, poses, and props fitting the selected theme and sim.  

Many of the former FCP members have become exceptional SL artists and this exhibit showcases works from just a few of the “regulars” to FPC.   We thank the artists contributing to this Skywalk Gallery exhibit.  Last month’s exhibit “Technochory”  by Bryn Oh and Sina Souza will also remain in place for an extended time.  Please enjoy the exhibits and explore the entire sim. 

The Station boasts a variety of fun things to explore in the sky and on ground level including 2 clubs, 2 theaters (one can be booked for free/contact sim management) many rides (various carnival rides, a human cannon that explodes shooting the rider into the air opening on a steampunk bird glider to fly around, a sling shot ride from sky to ground, trains, trolleys, a mechanical bull, floating balloons), a fun house, zeppelins, numerous hidden locations for hanging out, dates or photography, a gambling hotel with various games to play for free, stores, rentals, underwater area, freebies in various locations and much more.  Look for future art exhibits, live music, and club events to come.    (Sim owner/builder: Enigmatic Deir, Sim Manager: Sonrisa Seminario)

Most of my friends know I've been spending a lot of time lately in an amazing new sim, "The Station".  I've been getting to know all the regulars who have worked on various things around the sim from clubs to stores, to management, and of course the builder, Enigmantic Deir.  But this post is about one of the very sweet regulars who was around from the inception of the sim, and was actually present when the first prim was laid: Co-owner of The Attic, open mic club, and DJ, and 7 year SL resident,  Chevel Arrow, known to most as Chev and recently as Chev Wildwood, as she had reconnected and partnered with Seth Wildwood.    

I did not know Chev for long but what I did know of her impressed me as a very sweet person and everyone I've talked to says the same.  Apparently she was a genuine sweety according to all.  She also shared a flower shop on the sim with Kim.   Sadly Chev passed away RL October 4th, 2013 which came as a shock to all.  Her SL profile  has been adjusted to now read, "You will forever be remembered by those whose souls you touched. Rest in Peace, Grandma. And smile when you see Great Grandpa Hobert. I know you missed him so much.
 ♥ October 4th, 2013 ♥"

The Station staff changed the name of the "The Attic" to "Chev's Attic", in memory of her.  10-18-13 at 1pm SLT one of Chev's favorite live musician's, Yip Jannings, will perform at Chev's Attic. I'm sure it will be a bitter sweet time, but hopefully one everyone can enjoy for what it's intended, remembering Chev, and enjoying  good tunes, good times, and good fun----which happens to be the sim theme. 

(above pick: One of the sim managers, Son, made this memorial wreath and Enig changed the Attic name to Chev's attic in her memory.) 

Come on out 10-18-13 at 1pm to hear one of Chev's long time favorite SL musicians, Yip Jannings.  Explore this impressive sim and be sure to ride up to the floating city and Miri's club and find all kinds of hidden places to enjoy.  Much more info. about this amazing sim to follow on this blog, as a very special art exhibit is under construction with opening party to be announced soon, a hunt begins the 15th and there is always much to see and happening around the sim. Unfortunately I will be working RL at the time of this event, but I'm sure it will be a lot of fun and also a good time to remember a special and sweet person, Chev. 

A bit more info. on the sim: The sim's brilliantly executed steampunk theme thus far is home to The Floating City that primarily consists of Miri's Rock Club at The Station, The haunted fun house, The New Orpheum Theater (can be booked for free!), The Rube-Goldberge Slingshot ride, A Floating Train Ride System, 3 person zeppelins, Zeppelin docs, and various other fun places to find.  The Dead City is home to The Attic Club which is in The Attic Hotel, The Old Orpheum Theater, The Dead City Hotel and Casino, an underground aquarium dance floor, the human cannonball ride that opens into a steampunk bird glider, Dead City Trolleys, underwater diving area, Greedy gaming hall, balloons (some with special places for relaxing with friends or couples), rooms and shops, some cool freebies such as scuba gear to be found underwater, and plenty of other things to see and explore. I personally love all the hidden areas.  Check it out any time.

There is a brand new club, The Station, in Second Life with a Steampunk theme that is holding it's grand opening Monday Sept 9th, 2013.  I have been running around this sim totally impressed with the build by Enigmatic Deir that has amazing textures, great scripts and animations and fun finds throughout.  The sim not only has this great club, but it also has a dual theater that people can book for events for free, there's a variety of steampunk vehicles and many fun secret and not so secret areas to find that will be perfect for exploring, photography, and visiting with friends and couples.
