Saint Patrick's Day preparations in Second Life

Saint Patrick's Day preparations in Second Life can be as easy or as much work as you want it to be. I have put quite some time and Linden Dollars put into an outfit for myself and Whotter this morning, so I am hoping for a great party tomorrow.

Whotter's outfit was relatively cheap, with a hat and bow for 1L and a cheap, but very funny pipe that emits particle wishes. They were all easy to find on Marketplace. Meanwhile I could look around at Jess decorating the place at X-Sisters @Street Whores. It all looks pretty awesome, I must say.

Then my own outfit cost me quite a bit more time. It turns out I will walk the party grounds tomorrow treating all our visitors to green beer. Meanwhile, my colleague Tasha picked up a nice outfit too from Moon Elixir + Muse and a fun balloon.

Meanwhile Whotter was practicing on the stage a little. I wonder if they will allow him on it tomorrow! But even if he doesn't, visit us tomorrow. The party starts tomorrow, on Saint Patrick's Day, March 17th at 11AM SL Time (that is PDT). Of course at: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Hoogenach/214/116/64.

Construction works are starting

Whotter found Lucky at Street Whores with big plans: she wants to improve the connection between the existing area of Street Whores and the new part of town, that is rented by X-Sisters Sex Bar.

She also wants to add a new event area and replace the existing 'park' before the apartment blocks. Better concepts for future expansion of the area should always have been included in the design of course. But thinking ahead has never been the strongest part of the planning here.

One girl did think ahead and rezzed a tower crane already. Whotter got in his construction suit and sat down to admire the works.

A bargirl once again

After walking around in the new neighbourhood at Street Whores a few days back, Whotter and I decided to return and see if they had made any progress building. They did! We found a small arcade in one of the buildings. It has a basketball game, a playable pool table and a few other games. Nice for anyone, I would say.

A building across the road houses a photo studio now. Very handy for the escort girls, or street whores, who like to make their own profile pictures. Don't forget the ratecards either...

The SWOP SL (Sex Workers Outreach Project) building needs to be filled still I suppose, but it is clearly a project of Christina's. I will offer her the media prims again to my 2 series of informational pieces. I expect she will get it filled in the weeks to come.


The area looked interesting, and as I have done before at the Home Sweet Home Bordello and Club Radiance, I decided to give it a go and see if I would be employable here. Apparently I have quite the reputation, as they didn't ask me to fill in any form or whatever.

So now I am employed by X-Sisters, for their Street Whores location! They even bribed Whotter with a big crate of fish, which he has subsequently been eating for as long as I was in yesterday...

A new part of town

So I was walking around with Whotter when we ran into this big wall. We tried to walk around it, but there seemed to be no end to it.

A big wall has been built at Street Whores

 

On minimap I noticed 2 familiar names though: one was Boo, one of the new owners of Street Whores, the other Jess, who owns X-Sisters Sex Bar and the small bar she runs in our little town.

Fortunately, in Second Life, we can all fly, even if it is disabled in parcel settings. So Whotter and I went out to explore and found a new set of streets. Most of the buildings seemed to be just empty shells still, but a short talk with Boo (well, rather: shouting through some walls) learnt us that she and Jess were building on an area that Jess would be renting.

 

A new part of town

We found Jess around a street corner. She was still building on the new Street Whores bar for X-Sisters. So we went in for a little chat. She explained she was doing the bar here and some additional buildings. To attract a new audience for both places.

A new part of town

It seemed there was a lot of building still to be done, so we will visit the place later again to see how it has become. Meanwhile, you can take a sneak peek for yourself already of course: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Hoogenach/188/130/65

Rachael Ezvalt

Today I received sad news: Rachael Ezvalt, whom I have known for many years. Possibly back from 2010 when I first walked the streets at Street Whores, is no longer with us.
Rachael had not logged in for the past 3 weeks and her Second Life partner, Ayesha, yesterday got confirmation that she had passed away, little over a week ago. Jess, her friend at co-worker at X-Sisters mentioned this in her blog.

Rachael was a force of nature and everyone who met her probably remembers her: not just because of her avatar, but also because of the way she communicated. Her humour and her practical jokes were always around.

Rachael Ezvalt invented the Box Whores

 Rachael one day told us all to wear boxes over our heads and thus the 'Box Whores' were born...

I am a bit at a loss for words, so I will just try to embed a song from her SoundCloud. Rachael loved to DJ and her techno was well-known whereever she went. Everytime there is a party I still request 'Little Fish', by Leftfield, a song I know thanks to her, for my son Whotter.

We have a fan

While I was talking with a man on the streets, TJ hit me up in IM and showed me a link to his photo album on Flickr. It seems Whotter and I have a fan...

As seen through my legs, TJ sits down with Whotter

TJ made this shot of Whotter and his keytar, part of my son's rockstar aspirations, as seen from through my legs. TJ hit us up on the streets a while later and we would visit SL20B, the 20th Second Life birthday celebrations.

As TJ stated: "Whotter is my favourite author!"

Fish, again. But Whotter likes to have a fan. Thanks to TJ for the lovely photos.

Whotter's 10th rezzday party

 I can't believe it's been 10 years already since my baby was born in Second Life, but yes:

Whotter's 10th rezzday party
The party area is being setup

Today we are celebrating Whotter's 10th rezzday! There will be a party with DJ Clau and prizes for the best-dressed 3 party-goers in 'Best in Fish'.

Don't worry, Whotter won't be the jury on this one and you won't end up in a frying pan...

The party will start at 1PM SL Time and will be at: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Hoogenach/91/184/66
