Effects of the main square being renovated

The square is being renovated

Previously I mentioned the changes in the teleport destinations at my 'workplace'. Now the main square at Street Whores - Town Square is being renovated. Co-owner Rachael mentioned that there will be more shops in the new layout, that will feature 2 layers of shopping area below street level. The whole layout, an inverted pyramid going down in steps, reminds me a bit of the Parisian shopping mall of Forum Les Halles.

Meanwhile I discovered the girls, who obviously lost their favourite spot to stand, have exchanged the square for a new corner where they all bunch up, though they do move a bit more still than before. Thei rnew spot is the street corner down the road to the place where the recent Suzi's monthly's party was held. Not a strange spot: it's still rather central and easy to find from multiple of the teleport locations.

The Asian Prostitutes group

There are always a lot of groups in Second Life and I am a member of many of them. Normally I always have the maximum of 42 groups in use. Some groups give issues though, so I invented an alternative for a number of them.

Many of the groups, especially the sex-related ones are being spammed by girls who try to sell 'their real life pictures' or offer sexual services in chat. If you are someone working in a club, or walking the streets for business, this gets annoying quickly enough: you just keep clicking away those useless group messages.
I do however need a bunch of those groups to at least maintain a 'dirty image'. Having them in profile signals to potential clients that I might just be the kind of nasty bitch they are looking for. Also, the groups have tags like 'Asian Whore' or so, that may come handy in the streets of Second Life, when you're looking for business.

So... I took a couple of these groups, some of the more annoying ones and removed them from profile. Instead of them I created a few new ones, for myself, but also for others that might be interested. I did set a fee in the group preferences for joining. Having to pay a minimal fee should help to keep (almost all of) the spammers out.
One of the first girls that joined my one of my new groups is Kiko. She's a petite Asian girl looking for business. And it appears she also works at Street Whores - Town Square. So, maybe try her out as well. Or try catch both of us for an Asian threesome!

A home in Bordello Alley

There's a new girl in town, her name is Roxie and she is a very lucky girl. Suzi helped her to set up her own little place, with a window to sit at, at Bordello Alley, one of the more popular little streets, where it always used to be hard to find a rental.

Bordello Alley is named after the Home Sweet Home Bordello, which used to stand beside it. You may remember I also used to work at the bordello and wrote some blogs about it, the first one probably being this post from 2011: http://tsaicheng.blogspot.nl/2011/06/hot-days-for-streetgirl.html

The bordello was also home to some notorious parties, like the infamous Gang Bang Party of 9 March 2012, where hardly anyone showed up...

Those early years, around 2011 or so, were of course the prime for the bordello, which closed it's doors sometime in 2014. I can't find a blogpost that refers to it's closure. I probably have made a picture or two on the subject too. I may look it up soon.

Nowadays the name of the Home Sweet Home Bordello lingers on in one of the smaller and more notorious alleys at Street Whores - Town Square, where you can run into veteran whores like Melanie or Katherine, real slags who have been around and know what they are doing.

And now also Roxie.

Topless in the streets

It's that day of the week again. Topless Tuesday that is. Since the street's teleport routing has changed the signs have disappeared too, but that shouldn't discourage us from participating in this important gig. It's all about the marketing, right?

Blegh.

I couldn't care less, of course. But it's a good day to show off my 'assets' and get some extra business. If it does nothing, well, I can still write about it.

Routing the street whores around town

This is the 'wanted' effect: prostitutes at every street corner

Two days ago I was asked to look at a 'secret project' by the owners of Street Whores - Town Square. It had been considered an issue for a while that there were men teleporting out again before the girls around them had rezzed. Also, most of the place was never in use much by the girls to hang out and pick up men, apart from the main square in front of the pub.
So they had deviced something new: people entering the town would first end up in a little box where they could choose between several spots in town to go to. This would reduce the rezz times and make everyone's experience a bit better. The town would be slightly more realistic too.

This is the 'unwanted' effect: all prostitutes and punters in the main square

One of the owners was a bit disappointed by the initial results still, as the majority of girls was still hanging at the main square, but I was more hopeful. It was obvious there were people rezzing at other places in the region and now walking (some even running) to the main square, but not all of them: a few small groups of prostitutes had formed in other spots, 2 or 3 girls were sitting behind their red light windows and there were some people walking around. The whole place looked a lot more dynamic to me already.

I think the system might need a bit more tweaking, the girls might need to get used to it and discover that there are alternatives within town for hanging out and the punters may have to regain the ability to walk... But I think it might work fine.

A tyre kicker's morning

I thought to follow one of the men in the square around for some 30 minutes and see what would happen. He's the type fo guy that has been camming my avatar frequently and never seems to hire someone. I could be mistaken of course...

00.51 Let's follow a regular visitor in his wanderings. For privacy I focus on his back.

00.53 He is standing here near Videa and Kirtia. I am in the background with Whotter.

01.01 I lost a snapshot here. There was a second man coming in, with similar dress. He also stood still.

 
01.03 Girls around them: Trozi, Katherine, Christina, Ashley, Videa, Kirtia. They stay immobile.

01.13 He is still standing in the same spot.

01.16 This is getting boring.

01.24 He is standing there glued to the pavement

Unfortunately I am missing the picture in which I walk up to him and pee over his shoes. Normally I would expect Whotter to do a thing like that, but I felt like provoking a reaction. Trust me, nothing happened. He didn't notice his own wet shoes even. 

Meeting up with Tatusia

Whotter and I went to say hello to Tatusia Snowflake the other day. We had chatted a bit before and she had even met my now ex-husband, who gave her a helicopter ride around the Fonda region, but Tatu and I never actually met. Her being Slut Magazine's copy editor and me the society editor this had to happen at some point. Certainly since both of us have previously been shagging the boss to advance our careers in the publishing world ...

While we had a chat, Tatusia was trying on the neew clothes she had been shopping for, Whotter had a hard time getting into the house. It seemed Jumpman Lane, our esteemed boss, had a fierce house security system installed that kept the poor thing out.

Well, poor thing ... by the looks of it Whotter had a good time swimming in the water outside. He wasn't complaining really or even paying attention to us anymore.

The Halloween party at Street Whores

One day in the year is special. If I would say that in the 'real world' everyone, especially the Americans amongst us would answer: "Christmas!" But this is not the real world and I am not American and am able to celebrate two days of Christmas, but that's besides the point.
This is Second Life. People can dress as they like here. You can run around starch naked in the snow without getting sick, or you can dress like a hobo and still own a megayacht. Or you can dress like a gazillionaire, own a freebee megayacht and still have zero on your SL bank account. It's all possible.

This is Second life and since people spend more time with their real families on Christmas and since it's such a nice party that also involves lots of dressing up, for the avatar Halloween is 'The most wonderful time of the year'. Some people even dress like it's Halloween all year long. No one bothers ...

Halloween for me is: party! Dancing, music and putting on some new outfit that is crazy enough to win the 'best in theme' event that is run here at Street Whores - Town Square. Since I won a couple of them in the past, I suspect the owners want to give the other girls a chance too. I didn't win too many prizes at recent parties. And that is fine, it's all about the fun.
I am not really a party girl myself. I know, I figure in other people's parties a lot, but those are mostly private parties, the type where pants are taken off, or pushed aside if the party's quick and dirty, skirts lifted up or tossed on the floor and the two participants leave the scene in a deliciously sweaty mess.

Halloween parties are different. I bring out some prop, this time it was a chainsaw, and I dance to the tunes of our DJ's Suzi and Rachael. You might wonder how that looks at the other side of the keyboard? Simple: I lean back in a lazy chair and I listen to the music. Every now and then I interact a little with the hosts and the other guests. Meanwhile I serve myself coffee, a glass of wine or beer until I am too tired, or the contest is over. Then I go to bed.

I told you, I am not a party girl. Not that kind of party girl ...
