Are Centaurs Extinct? (Updated Landmark to New Store)

The answer to the question in the title is, of course, a resounding "Hell no!".

Despite what you may have been taught, centaurs are not creatures of fable or mythology. Neither did the race die out entirely when their mares left them to wander off and die lonely deaths on the plains of Central Asia.
The story of how the species was saved and survived to this day through heroic efforts by the first laird and his wife is a living legend within clan McMillan.

The first laird Callum and his spouse the goddess-witch Minerva came across the last three living centaurs during their travels in Asia Minor. They were in a pitiful state after a long life of ribaldry, whoring and worse.

With the skilled ministrations of Minerva, the centaurs were brought back to health and were offered a safe haven in the laird's clan, who at the time lived in the Scottish Highlands. 

Over time there was intermarriage between the species and the McMillan clan became the renowned shapeshifters they are today. (Clan McMillan and their distant relations the Ashdene family are among the last remaining shapeshifters still among us.) To this day they choose at will in which manner they wish to present themselves.

New Header for Late Winter 2017

Bock in SecondLife's art director, Tomais Ashdene, has made a new header for the the late winter season of 2017.

Well, actually my husband made it for Valentine's Day, but I love it so much that I've decided to keep it until I switch to the spring header.

Please don't be disturbed by the drunk youngster in the picture, he survived the experience and has now taken an oath of abstinence. We'll wait and see how long that lasts...

Valentine's Day Party @ Second Pride

Here's a great idea for tomorrow! Why not take your love interest to the Valentine's Day party at Second Pride?

DJ's Helene and Kahvy will be entertaining between 3 & 7 PM SLT.

The party is a fundraiser for Second Pride, so don't forget your wallet and please donate generously.

Take me to the Valentine's Day party!

Will You Be My Valentine?

My darling husband Tomais,

I will never forget it, you know? A few weeks ago when we were in bed, and you said to me, "Bock,...", you always call me Bock (which is a good thing since that is my name), "...do you think I am 'principled and earnest'? Those words have been coming up a couple of times to characterize me lately."
"Slurp" Photography by Tomais Ashdene
I thought about your question a short while and then told you, "Yes, definitely, I do think you are both 'principled' and 'earnest' and those are two of the reason I love you most. You obviously do have a ethical and moral compass that guides you through your life. You have a clear sense of what is right and wrong and a sincere conviction of what you will allow yourself to do and how you are prepared to go about things."

Ever since I started looking at men again, you are exactly what I have been looking for. In SecondLife everyone can easily be "hot" and "sexy" by buying the right skin and accessories, but what I have looked for are the characteristics that sometimes are considered uncool. A man that is reliable, responsible, committed, caring, loving and considerate.

You are all that and so much more! You have a wonderful sense of humor, a geekish side with a deep fascination for both science and technology, for science fiction and fantasy and last but not least, fashion. You calm me down when I am upset and choleric, you make me feel safe and loved when I am feeling unworthy of love, you can make me laugh and get things into perspective when I am sad, brooding and uptight. And you can explain stuff that I don't understand so that I do.

I never thought it would happen again and I am so grateful that I met you and got the chance to love you. You make me happy, horny and calm. You make me laugh so hard that my tummy aches. I love you so much and I want you to stay in my life always, always!

Will you be my valentine, hubby?

Love, Respect & Courage

In honor of Valentines Day I would like to remind myself and everyone else that love, respect and courage have accomplished most of the things we are proud of in the history of mankind. They do not always conquer all bad things or situations, but even then they help us through the bad experiences.

Hate, disrespect and cowardice on the other hand has never given us anything worthwhile.

This should be a great party, I am so sorry I cannot attend it but fear not clan McMillan will be represented at the party by my amazing brother in-law Andrey S. Messmer.

Äntligen var Valentindagen här!!!

Jag inledde den stora dagen med att åka i väg för att krama en Linden.

Tyvärr fanns varken Philip, Torley, BlueTeddy eller ens lille Rodrigo från chat-supporten där, så jag fick hålla tillgodo med att krama Cudly Linden istället. Lindens kramanimation var alldeles bedrövlig så det såg ut så här...men det var tur kanske så fick jag inga tjejbaciller.

Luftpussar med Curly Linden

Därefter åkte jag ut för att shoppa ringar till Ars och mig för att ge honom som en Valentin-gåva. Med mig hade jag den bäste "personal shopper" som finns i hela SL, min vän Gilgalahad Gunsberg. Förutom att känna till alla bra ställen så är han en av de "hunkigaste" karl-avatarerna som finns, och en av de klokaste och vänligaste också. (Han får inte vara med på bild!)

Sedan var det dags för årets näststörsta händelse, den största är "Vimmel" på tisdagen den 16 februari 2010, kl. 20.00, Valentine-festen anordnad av dronningen, Gittrika Mint, Vampi Twine och Annabella Lundquist.

Tack för en välordnad och trevlig fest, töser! Det gjorde ni jättebra!
