We love the snowman

We all love the snowman.

When I came in-world to check up on things a last time before Christmas, I ran into Christina at the Meat Market. She wanted show me a thing. It turned out to be this snowman. She had taken a sexdoll apart and put the animations and the scripts in it.
We tried it in turns: Christina, I, Candy and some horny guy whose attention we grabbed. The thing will be around here for a few more days I guess.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Barbara

I ran into Barbara the other day, she is new to modelling and porn in Second Life and asked me for advice.

She asked me a bit about her looks. I had only one comment, but I suppose I could give some general advice. I never like it when people just conform to some general 'ideal', so you can guess what my advice was: stay true to yourself and work on the image you are trying to create.

I think she was already aware of that. Barbara seemed to know very well in what direction she wanted to go. So in the end we just made a few photo's. If you are interested to see her own stream on Flickr, here it is: https://www.flickr.com/photos/141263633@N03/

Let's see what Barbara will do in the coming time in the industry. I look forward to doing a shoot with her some day.

On the regulation of prostitution in The Netherlands

It was busy on the street this morning but there were few clients, so in the end it was just me and Mel, talking politics. I tried to explain her in brief the odd way in which prostitution is regulated in The Netherlands, by politicans who choose to actively enhance stigma and local administrators who still prefer to criminalise:
(meanwhile some man walked in, I ignored him)

 Tsai Cheng: They legalised it in holland but it s still being criminalised
 Tsai Cheng: and politics actively contributes to stigma.
 Tsai Cheng: Moral inconsistencies in people are tremendous.
 Melanie Tuxing: They arrest prostitutes in Holland?
 Tsai Cheng: Well not as such.
 Melanie Tuxing: Hi [name edited out]. Looking for a girl?
 Tsai Cheng: it s regulated to such a degree you can t get a licence to operate as independent prostitute
 Tsai Cheng: so most are deemed 'illegal'
 Melanie Tuxing: Is that a political decision - or the decision of hte police?
 Tsai Cheng: Local governments are the ones who should give out licenses but they can choose not to or have a restricted number.
 Tsai Cheng: It's politics,
 Tsai Cheng: Christian moralistic views imposed on the people.
 Melanie Tuxing: Nods.
 Tsai Cheng: Because you can't get a license you'll be dependent on the operators who have licenses.
 Tsai Cheng: Who are the same that were legalised in 2000.
 Melanie Tuxing: The pimps?
 Tsai Cheng: So, next politics says there s 'criminal types' involved.
 Tsai Cheng: and girls are 'being exploited'
 Melanie Tuxing: Smile.
 Tsai Cheng: For their convenience they don t mention that they re facilitating exploitation by not offering them an alternative.
 Tsai Cheng: Girls who work on their own without license are kicked from their houses when they work at home.
 Tsai Cheng: That's what i mean with 'Legal but criminalised.'
 Melanie Tuxing: Ah.
 Tsai Cheng: You can't work in it without active government suppression.
 Tsai Cheng: And our current administration has 2 Christian parties in it.
 Tsai Cheng: Guess what they want...
 Tsai Cheng: Yeah, working here got me to read up a bit.
 Tsai Cheng: I may just write this down.
 Tsai Cheng: Actually I think I should.
 Tsai Cheng: It's kind of weird I think.
 Melanie Tuxing: A basic instinct of people with power is to control the sexuality of others.
 Tsai Cheng: To call something legal, but put so much police and restrictive government effort on it.
 Tsai Cheng: Yes.
 Melanie Tuxing: If you control their sexuality, you control them.
