A sister for Whotter

We all know how crazy Second Life can be. The past weekend it brought me and my son Whotter an addition to the family: Ngọc. Due to our home location she had to be born fully-developed and 18+. What can I say? It saves some work buying child avatars and accompanying furniture?

Ngọc Diệp Thị Cheng was born with everything fully developed and all mature. As actually most of us choose to do in this virtual thought. Now that is a thought for you.

As sure as she is actually allowed in my home, you are all invited for... well not the baby shower, geez, how do we call the arrival of a mature daughter into this world?

A dance to remember Rachael

Today marks a year since Rachael Ezvalt, my old friend at Street Whores, passed away. We had a little dance last night to commemorate her. At her Memorial Garden at X-Sisters.

 

 

Winter, her partner, came too. She always had beautifully crafted avatars. This time she was a blue dragon, a new shape for us. We looked a bit through the messages left over the past year and made ourselves ready for the dance. Most friends walked in soon after us.

 

 DJ Zach played the set, mostly consisting of songs that Rachael once played herself as DJ or requested. He also included some from her SoundCloud. Some of us wondered who would count the fish in the fishtank, a job Rachael would have reserved for the new trainees at X-Sisters... Whotter volunteered, but we told him he would not be allowed to count fish.

And of course, the boxbot heads returned once again...

 

Whotter Moved out

 

I brought a client to my room and much to my surprise, found whotter sitting in front of my bed. That wasn't very convenient: no one expects an otter in the room when they hire a prostitute. They may fear getting bitten and so. We don't want that... So I sent him off.

Whotter didn't like the idea either it seemed. He hit me up afterwards and expressed his need for more privacy. So I decided to help him find a nice place for himself. But not too far away: family sticks together, after all.
It didn't take me long to find him this nice bungalow tent he could setup on the roof.

It even provided him with the most fantastic view down over the alley and the streets beyond. I think Whotter will really enjoy his new room here on the roof.

Two weeks of Halloween are over

 Wait, Halloween doesn't last two weeks, right? It's just one day? One night even...

It is, but of course, in Second Life, with people in multiple timezones, it will likely last 24 hours. Now imagine you have 2 places you work at within SL: a redlight district and a sex bar. Both organise a Halloween Party, both organise some events leading up to it. Those need to be planned in advance too.

So yes, Halloween takes two weeks or more. And that can be pretty exhausting. But then, you get a whole bunch of people decorating their places at Street Whores. You get this beautiful stage built by Mithrandriel Morningstar, enthousiastic DJ's and volunteers stepping up.

And that gives you party images that are reminiscent of Hieronymus Bosch.

The madness is all worth it really.

The same happened at X-Sisters, where we had the 'Haunted Seduction' skull hunt, with Barflies going crazy to hire the staff and collect as many skulls as possible. Which also got me into quite some steamy sessions...

There was the kettle with the green, bubbling and odd-tasting Halloween Brew, that you would not dare drink any other time of the year..

The graveyard, where the barflies could rent a grave to place their collected skulls.

And of course, various sex locations, like here: The Crypt. Moist and spooky...

A fan wanted a selfie with me

Every day out on the street something unexpected may happen. Like this weekend, a fan hit me up while I was crawling the curbs, greeting some of the new girls that came in at Street Whores and so on.

Who am I to day no to such a fun request. I suggested I could bare the girls to make the selfie a bit more memorable for him. He didn't say no.

Got to love my fans. Apparently I am a celebrity. Thank you!

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 in Second Life | How Neglect Destroyed the Top Red-Light Sim

 

 

 

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...

Star Whores Party

 

On May the 4th we had a Star Whores party at X-Sisters. Of course since that day is International Star Wars Day. I borrowed a few photo's from a friend and will make a quick report on it...

 We were all dressed up and dancing on the Starship Bridge that Jess had created for the event. This made for a great ambiance. DJ's Zath and Stacia played all space-related or - themed songs. Of course, Whotter cheated a bit on the theme and entered in a Trekkie outfit...

 The place just looked great and we danced to the tunes for a few hours. Below you see how it looked from the outside...

 And then from the inside...

A day at the beach with the X-Sisters

 

 
It was about time the cold winter weather stopped here, but yeah, how do you do that? Get away to somewhere warm: X-Sisters Sex Bar for instance. They have a new home location and they are spending a lot of time on the beach the past 2 weeks now. So it was about time Whotter and I enjoyed the summer heat, if only for a day.

You don't have to say that twice to Whotter: he loves water, especially when he thinks it offers him access to his favourite food. Don't think I need to spell out the 'fish-word' for you...

It was not long before X-girls Ebony (to the left) and Fox joined me at the beach bar. They warned me that things could get crazy there. Any moment, it's unpredictable.

Whotter didn't care: he found something to do pretty quick. There was this nice tour balloon and he went up in it, ignoring all the safety instructions one would normally receive for such a thing.

And after that he ran straight for something he had spotted from the skies: the waterslide!

Whotter just showed that even without sex, booze and drugs a lot of fun can be had at X-Sisters.

Of course, the inevitable happened:he walked up to the bar and asked: "Titanic"
Jess, X-Sisters owner was naive enough to start a conversation on how cool it'd be to rezz a Titanic on her region. All the Titanic talk of course meant Whotter just had to produce his recorder and play us his much-feared rendition of 'Theme from Titanic', a song that's already awful enough if someone else is playing it...
As soon as he was done I confiscated the recorder. Then one of the barflies spotted me and it turned out I was one of the attractions of the place myself.

X-Sisters has a 'Wall of Fame', which implies having completed a certain number of challenges in and around the bar. One of them had to be completed in the DJ booth, further down the beach, he explained. Behind the DJ table was a little cabin with records and a couch.

He said he especially liked my tattoo, so I made sure he got a good look at it, while completing his challenge.

After all the workout, it was time for me to clean up. What better way would there be than in the ocean? So I went to the waterslide myself to conclude a hot day at the beach.
