A hectic few weeks at Street Whores

I don't really know where to start. It has been a few weeks since I blogged, since so much happened at Street Whores. It is just not easy to write in an environment like this.

We had a huge reopening party at Street Whores and a couple of times during those 4 hours the region was completely full. So we considered that a big success. There were 2 DJ sets, one lucky visitor even had sex with our second DJ on stage...

We had a few nice locations open in our revived region: Lucky's Garage Bar being one of them.

Another venue we are slowly filling up with DJ events is 'The Underground', a discotheque below street level, accessible through an underground (or subway if you are American, Metro if French) entrance.

Fiver's famous Bar No.5 is back in the street too. It is great to see my old neighbour back, this time with a derelict/burnt down version of the bar she used to have opposite my old house in Bordello Alley. It was completely jampacked this sunday and everyone was drunk.

And of course I had lots to do myself...

So yes, let's meet up at Street Whores!

 

The end of Street Whores after 14 years

Yesterday was friday the 13th. I am not supersticious, but who would have guessed that near 8AM SL time on that day my items from Streetwhores would all be returned to me by the Linden who is responsible for land clearances...

And as I walked in, still in a bikini, as I came from the X-Sisters Bear Bar, I just saw an empty field. It can be hard to swallow, to see your home in Second Life for 14 years vanish like that. I am still not sure what I would want to write about it right now.

And, seen from the other side, still empty for many years, but existing, the place where I worked a couple of weeks before I found Street Whores and moved in there: Whore-Inn. Strange.

A person who knew what to write about the end of Street Whores is Jess, the owner of X-Sisters, she dedicated a blog to it. I will link it here:

Street Whores was repossessed

 This morning I logged in, still dressed in bikini, to my home location, or at least I thought I was, only to find myself out on a Linden Road looking at a banline. My home was obviously behind that.

It's a sad sight, but I somehow expected it to happen sooner or later now. Lately I have been paying my rent by the week, ever since Street Whores had been repossessed a previous time on 22 May. I hadn't blogged about that occasion.
I may talk about the details later, but this is basically a case of serious neglect by the place's new owners, who took over from Suzi Ah last year.
This is just what happens if you fail to pay for your tier. Let's hope someone will be able to revive or rebuild the place somehow.

 After the sad news, I decided to go over to X-Sisters and sit there at the beach bar for a drink, or two, or three. We even allowed Whotter to play 'Theme from Titanic' on his recorder...

Boxing Orgy on 7 September

The coming weekend we have a 'Boxing Orgy' upcoming at X-Sisters. What is that about? What will the evening be like?

 

The boxing orgy will take place on Saturday 7 September, starting at 12PM (that is noon) SLT. At our new boxing arena. A previous one was held last year and it was all about boxing matches and lots of sex. The latter part I understand, for the first I am badly in need of some exercise, as my boxing practice with Whotter showed...

I didn't spend all of my time on the floor though. A walk towards the teleporter brought me to our boxing arena, so I could explore the grounds for the Boxing Orgy a bit in advance.

The entrance area is from a spot with some city background. There is a hamburger joint too. And when you enter there is this large arena, lots of seating. And in the middle of it a ring, where all of the action is going to take place.

A chat with Chandra (who also knocked me out in practice) taught me that the Boxing Orgy will start with a series of boxing matches between the X-Girls, that the audience can bet on. Then later on it will be a lot of hot sex. The previous edition lasted over 4 hours. Some of my colleagues could hardly stand on their legs the next day, so I was told...

I sure like to be a part of it the coming saturday. Are you coming as well?

'Drugged up' Party at Street Whores

Street Whores was on the verge of closing last week, as land credits weren't covered. I am not going into depth here on how the owners managed to get into that situation, but it was pretty stupid. It did result, however, into two girls deciding it was time for a 'last party'. 'Drugged up' was the theme and it took place last night (My time, it was 1PM SLT).

We had DJ Clau spinning the tunes and there was a contest for 'best in character'. We had a lot of fun for about two hours and when we woke up in the morning Street Whores was still there. What more can you wish for?

      

4th of July in Second Life

The 4th of July in Second Life resembles Christmas a bit, in a miniature version: Americans make a big deal about it and Marketplace is full of stuff that is sold for it. But on the day itself, they don't show up.

 

So we got a Dutch-Vietnamese-Ukrainian-Canadian crowd, dressing up an English owned bar in Second Life for our dear American guests. We even raised a flag for them. We omitted the fireworks: the Bald Eagle would have gotten scared and might even have resorted to calling PETA. We don't want that, right? We thought of our costumes though: Kvêta even found herself a native outfit and took the trouble of plucking some feather's from our peacock's tail*. Not sure the bird liked that.

Our Rita even made herself an American Eagle tattoo and since we all agreed it looked nice, she has put it up for sale on Marketplace as well. A number of visitors showed, but not one of them was American. Next year we celebrate Canada Day instead.

*We haven't heard from PETA yet, so we assume that the peacock had no phone.

Becoming a SL21B Greeter

Whotter applied to become a greeter at the annual Second Life Birthday event, this year it's named SL21B, since, well.. it's the 21st anniversary!

Apparently, all he had to do is fill in a short application form. Then he was checked for eligibility. I would never have passed that check, as my profile is of an adult nature. Whotter's is not. It's mostly about fish and his novel... (As you will know, that one is named 'fish' as well...)

When accepted, he followed a training. That one was only last night. It was given by Viola Mole, who is the new Greeter Coordinator. Whotter might have been anxious at first, being a tiny. Maybe he won't fit the uniform, or he would not be accepted, but look: the Greeter Coordinator is this lovely cat avatar. You got to love the diversity in Second Life.

The story continues on July the 20th, as the greeters will be released onto the SL21B party grounds...
