Commemorative C&P for Circe

Today there will be a commemorative Coffee and Pajamas with DJ Elfay Pinkdot (aka +Lisa Feay)  honoring the memory of the late Circe Broom, who passed away on November 29, 2012 after a long struggle with her health.

Circe was a supernova on the SecondLife music and cultural scene. She ran the following clubs and venues until shortly before her passing, Sunset Jazz Club (established 2004), Memphis Pavilion, Luxor Stage, Cairo Theater, Circe's SanctuaryAnubis Art Gallery, and Temple of Bast.

This will be the first annual:Circe Broom Memorial Vodka & Coffee Xmas Crash! The commemorative party starts at 10 AM SLT and will take place at Brianna Beresford´s Tranquil Café (SLurl)

On a personal level I will always remember Circe as my energetic, warm, wonderful, kind, loving and supportive friend who in spite of her first life difficulties and her busy second life schedule always had time for a chat and a good laugh.

Preparations for Wintering

Well, today is the autumn equinox in the northern hemisphere. All species of animals are starting to prepare for the onslaught of winter, and the Bock-monster also.

The Bock-monster was the nickname lovingly given to the Much Honored Bock McMillan, laird of Southern Charm and prince of Cascade Falls, by the amazing Ms. Elfay Pinkdot, who once had the renowned "Coffee and Pajamas Jazz Show" at Circe´s Sunset Jazz Club. This was a regular hangout for the laird during Saturdays or Sundays for several years, at first usually with his Ars but later on his own. Well, not alone actually because he had many dear friends there.

The animals have three options to choose among. The first is whether to stay or to migrate to warmer climes. if they decide to overwinter they must decide whether to hibernate or to face the winter awake.

The last three days the laird sees to have slipped into a state of semi-hibernation, as soon as he comes home from work he throws himself in bed and pulls the duvet up over his head, taking care to see to it that his feet do not stick out. He then sleeps until midnight and then wakes up to drink a little water, brush his teeth and read mail for about an hour or two before going back to bed to sleep until it´s time to get up for work.

A part of the hibernating process is also to fatten up before falling asleep, for this reason the laird has in those three days consumed one (1) kilogram of Bassett´s Winegums on his own. He cannot stand the sight of them anymore.

This is a rather boring existence and he misses his friends in both lives, but he is following his doctors advice, "If you need to sleep, sleep!".

Anyway I do get reports of whats happening in SecondLife. Yesterday I was informed among other things that the studly Mr. Ziggy Starsmith had been spotted at Genni´s Bar in Second Norway enjoying the music of my Sergeant at Arms, the British-Canadian cat sirhc DeSantis McMillan.

SP2012 - Day 2

Lets start at the end of my second day with a few hunky men, it always makes me feel better. 

Above and below you see the three hunkiest men of the day at Second Pride, it´s DJ Cupric "The Coop" Router and his host Jagger Naughton with a companion doing their SWAMP THANG. Whatever that was it was leisurely and sexy.

I took it very easy Day 2 and gave it an early night because I knew I had to be up by 12 AM (midnight) SLT for Elfay Pinkdot´s Coffee & Pajamas Jazz Show and an hour after that my mate DJ Sarco Halderman´s set.. 

DJ Wesley Spengler grooving and blogger Jeff Ellsworth checking him out.
 The rest of the day I spent checking out the Ruthenium sim, where parts of the celebration rakes place.

I found the exhibition of quilts there, beautifully displayed and in a calm setting. Strangely enough there were quilts from 2003-2009 and none at all for 2010 and later.
The buildteam for Second Pride, under the lead of my friend Levi Ewing,  have done a really great job, with beautiful sets imaging the streets of
Buenos Aires (SLurl)
London (SLurl)
San Francisco (SLurl) and 
Sydney (SLurl) 


On Ruthenium there are a couple of beautiful streets from a few block in Buenos Aires. (see below)
The Gay History Museum is an amazing build showing an exhibition of the LGBT-movement from the early days until the present days. The globes are a masterpiece, both from outside and within.

Reflections on a Monday

Sunday was a hectic day for me. My feelings were all over the place, swinging from sorrow to happiness and then back and forth a few times. All in all it was a good day though.

Can one actually celebrate a wedding anniversary if the spouse is dead? That was one of the things on my mind early in the day, but I soon decided that "Hell yes, sure I can" because it was one of my happiest days in SecondLife. "Honi soit qui mal y pense" (which in Bockese directly translates into "Bugger those evil minded bastards who think ill thereof")

Then I was reached by the news of Whitney Houston´s death at an early age in tragic circumstances. The first song that came to my mind was "I Will Always Love You" from the film where she starred against Kevin Costner, "The Bodyguard". Not very original I know but...

The last Coffee and Pajamas Jazz Show with Elfay at Circe´s Sunset Jazz Club brought laughter and sad and happy memories. That club and that show and Circe, Elfay, Diana, Margo and Carol, Mari and Ex and all the other regulars there, meant a lot for me during a difficult time. I cannot even begin to explain how important it was for me to have that place to go to every Saturday (and later Sunday). It was a sad parting of sorts but still not because they will all remain in SecondLife and hopefully we will all keep in touch.

The Sunday ended on a very happy and festive note with the birthday bash of my buddy Ziggy Starsmith and his studelicious man Holter. All the gay hunks of SecondLife where there and I should think some more came after I left at midnight (my time) to catch some sleep before work today.

In between the show and the party I had good conversations with my sister Millimina, my brother in-laws Dejerrity and Andrey...hmmm sorry I mean D R E Y. My avatars soul was after further investigations proven to be in mortal peril and was finally saved. 

But more about the last show, the birthday bash and the tests and the scary treatments I had to undergo to save my soul in future posts. I need to gather more energy for that.

Ohh I will also reveal the identity of "my vampire", the most beautiful vampire that has ever existed, including that silly Tom Cruise´s rendition.

Grooving at Sunset

Almost every Sunday morning 10 AM - 12 PM (noon) you can find me and a gang of friends hanging out on Circe´s Sunset Jazz Club for the "Coffee and Pajamas Jazz Show with Elfay Pinkdot".

I go there for the good music, the excellent chat and banter in local and of course the wonderful music Elfay´s plays for us. Ars always used to say that Elfay is one of the best professional DJ´s he heard in SecondLife. We went there together all the time and it´s always a great comfort for me to go there.

Today I had a slight headache when I went there, fortunately Elfay was spinning excellent mellow guitar music, so by the time we finished my headache was almost gone

Neither Circe, Carol or Joetonight were there today but I am hoping they will all be there next time.

My Brother Is Back

Yesterday as I was - as usual on Sunday mornings (SLT) - dancing, chatting and having a splendid time at Elfays´s Coffee and Pajamas Show I got a very surprising IM from Martial, my dear brother who was lost to real life some time ago.

We talked in IM a while and all feelings and wonderful memories were stirred up again. I cannot help myself but Martial always hits a certain spot in my heart. Although I wanted to remain restrained, guarded, distant (whatever may be the correct word) and a bit sulky (yes, I actually want to do that sometimes - roll me in tar and cover me in feathers) I couldn't stop the feelings of strong love that just welled up inside me.

Certain people I just cannot help loving, however I try to hide it, block it or stop it, Martial is definitely one of them.

In real life it is exactly the same. I have more than a few ex-boyfriends I still love, no matter how ferocious or ugly the breakup may have been.

P.S. Yes, I do realize that this post may well cause some people to call me "pillertrillare" (an ugly Swedish word for "drug addict") due to my present use of  prescribed antidepressants, but they don´t have a clue so they can jump in any lake of their own choice. 

I must repeat that my main reasons for writing this blog is for my own benefit and those who care to read it.

Well now...

Bock as seen by Joetonight Starship
Well guys and girls, I am too tired for much blogging today so I thought I would give you something to feast your eyes on instead.

This picture was taken by my court-photographer Joetonight Starship during my visit to his beautiful treehouse before Elfay´s "Coffee and Pajamas" on Sunday.

All I can say is, it takes a lot of hard work and maintenance to look stunning, but we all have to try and keep up with Apmel...

The Weekend in Pictures

Well it started of badly on Saturday with me all dolled up and ready to go to a wedding of a friend and his partner. When I looked closely at the invitation - to get a clue where to teleport - I suddenly discovered that the wedding was on Friday, the day before.

So instead of going to that event I sent my excuses to my friend together with the wedding gift and my hopes that they had had a great time without me.

As I started complaining in the Swedish chat about my confusion I was told there was a spontaneous party starting at The Grenouille Inn, run by a friend of mine Iendi Laville.

Here you see me exposing myself to an angel on the counter of Grenouille Inn. (The angel is Iendi Laville.) This time there was a bet on about how fast I would get undressed, so I stretched it out a bit to tease the onlookers and it took me a full five (5) minutes.


On Sunday I as usual went to Circe´s Sunset Jazz Club for The Coffee and Pajamas Jazz Show with Elfay Pinkdot and the best chatters in local anywhere in SecondLife.

This is a picture of the sublime Miss Pinkdot.

We were celebrating the 29th anniversary of Circe Broom´s 21st birthday in real life, and looking at Miss Broom one wouldn't have guessed she was a day older than 21.

At the Sunset I met Joe´s fairy (yeah, yeah he is an elf but I prefer to say fairy) husband Dalimar for the first time. They looked really hot on the dancefloor.



Look at those moves woohoo!

















The weekend ended with my usual run to the other friendliest club in SecondLife, yeah there are two tied for that position, Vampi´s OrmDricka. There I met DJ Lucien Maven again, I really must say that man has impeccable taste! Here you see some snapshots of us together.

Sunday at Elfay´s

Well, my dear Elfay has now decided to move her show "Elfay Pinkdot´s Coffee and Pajamas Jazz Show" to Sundays, 10 AM - 12 AM, at Circe´s Sunset Jazz Club (which is the oldest jazz club in SecondLife, it´s been around since 2004).

Yesterday I was there for Elfay´s Mardi Gras Special and so where many of "the usuals suspects", the big group of steady patrons. We are the ones that follow Elfay through hell and high water, come what may etc. etc.

All of us come to the show for the great music (mostly jazz), Elfay´s bantering and the usually great and inspired chat running in local throughout the show.

One of the many interesting things to look forward to is to see what outfits the group turns up in.

I hadn't changed since the evening before, except I wore my new well-earned bead necklaces. At Mardi Gras women earn their beads by showing their boobs, but as a man I have no boobs to show so I´ll leave you all guessing how I earned them this time...

My dear friend Diana during the show switched into one of the scariest voodoo witches I have seen since looking at a InWorldz-blog. LilTank has sworn to make a new pajama for every one of Elfay´s shows this year, and this time he looked really awesome.

Joetonight left way too early, before I had gotten my camera out.

Celebration for Elfay!

The wonderful, the amazing, the smoldering sexy creature that is Elfay Pinkdot celebrated both her birthday (January 2nd) and her rezday (January 6th) at her "Coffee & Pajamas Show" at "Circe´s Sunset Jazz Club".

The room was filled with old and new friends and the show was great as always (My pics where taken early in the show). Next to "OrmDricka" I think this is one of the very few venues in SecondLife where people actually talk to each other in local chat anymore, I wonder why that is?

The birthday and rezday girl, Elfay!

Some crazy blonde Swede, Duck, Doc or Book something?

Nina



Elfay Pinkdots "Coffee & Pyjamas show" today was all Nina Simone.

Boy, let me tell you, I do love Nina´s singing. She never ever really cared about singing "well", but always, always with great intensity and feeling. Enjoy the clip!

Idag var det Ars RL födelsedag

Detta är den sista bilden jag hittar på Ars och mig tillsammans. Den är tagen lördagen den 6 februari 2010 på Elfay Pinkdots "Coffee and Pajamas Show"

Jag ägnade dagen åt att tänka på min Ars och de goda åren vi hade haft tillsammans. Dessutom köpte jag ÄNNU EN nalle till honom och lite blommor som jag ställde upp vid hans minnesmärke på simen.

Linden Lab gav mig en stor gåva idag också, på Ars födelsedag.

"Från: Linden Lab - Support [mailto:no-reply@secondlife.com]

Skickat: den 21 april 2010 01:10
Till: x@x.se
Ämne: Ticket #4051-7546025: Sent Final Resolution (Ramifications of SL partners passing)

We have solved your issue

Solution: Hello Bock,

I am so very sorry for your loss. I have completed the transfer of the region Southern Charm from Ars' account to your own. Regarding the objects on the region, even if Ars' account is disabled the objects he owned on that region will remain. We will not remove any of those objects if his account is disabled.

(...)

If there is anything more we can assist you with, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Regards,
Keira Linden"
........

Jag har ju, förutom vad som skulle hända med simen, också oroat mig för vad som skulle hända med alla de saker Ars hade rezzat på vår hemmasim, och just denna dag fick jag beskedet att de kommer att finnas kvar. Det känns nästan som om Ars jobbar för mig någonstans!

Jag vill nu passa på att tacka Belinda Linden och Keira Linden på Linden Lab för all deras vänlighet och tillmötesgående i den sak!

Samtidigt vill jag också tacka alla er andra - ingen nämnd och ingen glömd - för allt ert stöd och all er värme och omsorg under de senaste veckorna. Ni har varit fantastiska!!!

Dagen avslutades med att åka iväg till Egypt och rösta på Bara Jonson naturligtvis!

En dag med toppar och dalar

Idag hände det mycket i mitt SL liv, men mycket av känns för nära och privat att berätta om just nu - det kommer antagligen fram senare när jag har lite mer distans, men dagen fick i varje fall en underbar början och ett härligt slut.

Som vanligt på¨lördagsförmiddagen hade Ars sitt set på australiensiska "The Den". Det var tämligen välbesökt med bl a två jättekändisar inom gay-SL, Boots Mission och Eddi Haskell.

Boots Mission var en gång ägare till en sim som hette "Mission Beach" men mest kallades "Boots Gay Beach". Den stranden blev mitt första hem i SL efter att den inledande sexgalna fasen hade gått över då jag startade och lämnade SL inifrån toalettbås, under trappor eller någon annan skyddad plats. Stranden fungerade som en fristad och ett lärosäte.

Boots och hans adjutanter hade tagit till sin uppgift att med stor vänlighet och en beskyddande inställning berätta för alla vilsna bögar som var nybörjare i SL om hur denna mystiska och spännande världen fungerade. Vad man kunde göra här, var man i så fall gjorde det och var man kunde få tag på saker man tyckte sig behöva för att göra det. De ledde oss med mild och varsam hand rätt, lärde oss vilka inställningar man skulle ha på sin viewer för att ens värld skulle bli riktigt vacker, hur man rensade caches efter crashar, hur man byggde olika saker om man ville det och såg till att vi delade med oss av erfarenheter till varandra under långa stunder av trevligt samspråk. Allt som oftast utbröt spontanfester när någon bara satt igång att spela sin musik medan vi övriga dansade och pratade. Jag minns den tiden med stor värme och tacksamhet! Jag åker fortfarande dit ibland för att titta till det hela och lämna ett ekonomiskt bidrag för den fortsatta verksamheten.

Eddi Haskell är nog mest känd för att ha varit inblandad i många "dramas". Om det har varit med eller utan hans egen förskyllan har jag aldrig kunnat bedöma eftersom jag inte umgicks med honom annat än när vi råkade vara på samma fester. Antagligen berodde skitsnacket mest på att han har en färgstark personlighet och därför lätt får fiender, några av dem var publicister för den mest lästa blaskan och bloggen inom gay-SL på den tiden. De vildaste rykten spreds om honom genom antydningar och halvkvädna visor. Han har aldrig varit annat än vänlig och trevlig mot mig.

Efter festen på "the Den" var vi som vanligt på Elfay Pinkdots "Coffee and Pajamas". En alltid lika trevlig tillställning där Elfay spelar musik med roligt mellansnack och samspråk med en aktiv och deltagande publik, många av oss ständigt återkommande gäster. Eftersom detta var en förövning till den kommande "Valentines day" hade jag klätt upp mig därefter medan Ars som vanligt var lite mer nedtonad.




Efter det partyr var den en del kalabalik som jag nu hoppar över. Kvällen avslutades dock på ett underbart sätt med invigningen av Midnattsdotter Frides "Fride Live".

Där tvingade jag upp den stackars Vesper på min vilda dans-HUD. Blanche var där och sade vänliga saker om min avatar. Även aake, Qween, Bejita och Chaplin kom dit. Mot slutet av kvällen fick jag nöjet att uppleva Strum Diesel sjunga egna sånger och covers. Jag föll som en fura för hans charm och talang. Jag hade så roligt och njöt så mycket av hela evenemanget och samspråket med Guyke och hans man Janttu att jag helt glömde bort att ta bilder.

*Note to self: "Remember you have a blog now, f f s always take pictures!"*

För bilder från det sista eventet tvingas jag nu hänvisa er till Blanche´s arena och Mer eller mindre KRANFEL.

Bloggstafett om sängvanor i SL...


Haha det blir tre inlägg redan första dagen, hur skall detta sluta månne?

Nåväl nu har det utlysts en bloggstafett om hur vi går och lägger oss i SL och då får jag väl också berätta.

Jag har mängder av pyjamaser, men inte för att sover i dem utan för att ett av mina stora nöjen på lördagseftermiddagarna är att kl. 8-10 am SLT bevista Elfay Pinkdots Coffee and Pajamas Jazz Show och då skall man alltid vara i pyjamas.

Jag åker alltid till hemma-simen innan jag loggar ur, varför vet jag inte riktigt det bara är så. Jag tror att det började med att jag redan som "noob" (innan jag fick ett hem i SL) alltid försökte ställa min ava på ett undanskymt ställe (helst under en trappa eller i något annat litet skrymsle) innan jag loggade ur. Helsjukt men det kändes lite tryggare så...

Visst har vi säng därhemma, men vi brukar oftast säga godnatt på däcket bakom huset eller någon annan trevlig plats. Några pussar och kramar blir det innan jag går och lägger mig. Han lever ju i en helt annan tidzon så för honom fortsätter kvällen ännu några timmar...
