In a cage

In a cage

So, the little dog that I mentioned before was asking for attention. Fortunately I did get a dog crate and guess what? It got another little bugger off my back for a while as well!

Showing off for the noob

I didn't think he looked that bad (yeah really, noobs aren't what they used to be, they look too good nowadays...) but the other girls did and they were showing him all sorts of avatars and outfits. So I took out my sheep avatar once again too.

Showing off for the noob

This is also how I found back Fräulein. The siamese cat had been hiding deep in some alley of my inventory. She was probably scared of Whotter.
I am not sure the noob was really helped with all the advice. His noob behaviour manifested itself mostly in that he kept referring to Second Life as a 'game'. I am not going into that discussion here, but it is rather typical. He did play guitar though, that was cool.

Palm trees, coconuts and otters?

There are many ways a creative whore can make money. That was shown again last weekend by two of the girls at Street Whores.

Palm trees, coconuts and otters?

A regular visitor who likes to play guessing games and tips generously in the process had mentioned his palm trees before, so before he was expected to appear for his weekly visit, a large coconut palm was bought by them and erected in the square. Every minute or so a coconut would fall from it.

Of course it didn't take long before an otter fell from the tree as well. I scolded him for climbing the other's posessions but Whotter didn't pay much attention to me. He liked the coconuts too much himself...

The Second Life Hat challenge

I read a login message that mentioned the 'Second Life Hat challenge'. It was simply a call to residents to upload a picture of themselves in which they were wearing a hat. So yes, why not?

Here is mine:

Ski Jumping in Second Life

After all these years you think you have seen and done everything in Second Life. Of course that's not true: new places and activities are being invented all the time. One thing that has been around snice 2010 and which I never tried was ski jumping.

Yesterday we had a girls' night out, with the management team of Street Whores and we went to the Chamonix regions to ski jump. The Chamonix area is attached to the oldest mainland in SL, Sansara.

When we arrived we noticed a familiar name on the board already: Whotter...

Ski Jumping in Second Life


Apparently the little rascal had decided to join in with the 'big league'. His score was pretty impressive too, so he was the favourite at the start.
He flaunted hs first few attempts though, biting... well not dust... snow. That made him quite grumpy, so we heard a lot of cursng and bad words directed at us during the event.

Falling on our backs in the snow was a usual outcome for the jumps. Something tells me that this sport is not for those who haven't practiced. In the end Whotter got himself a second place, which made him happy enough. I will gve the complete results here:

My blog on a prim

What are two whores doing in the library on a thursday morning?

html-on-a-prim

I have been wanting to make my blog readable in-world in Second Life for a long time now. Chrissy said she was going to help me. To do this properly we would need some sort of a script, she said, so we went looking for that.
It's not so hard to find online sources if you do a search for "HTML on a prim" and "Second Life", but it's hard to actually find the information that will get it to work for you. One source told us we should get some sample prims with scripts at the library region, so there we went.

We searched for a while for a place at the Cookie region that was to be names 'hobo' eh... something. I forgot the full name. We didn't find it but in the end Chris did manage to explain to me how I could change the front texture of a box-shaped prim display my blog. It would always be possible to make a proper poster of it later.

If anyone has an idea on how to fix this, do tell me. In the meantime, my blog can be read in the Street Whores Info Center just as well. It's there next to the sign that keeps the colleagues informed about the well-being of Nesliyah, who is recovering from an accident in RL.

Black Friday deals at Street Whores

Yes! Black Friday deals are a thing at Street Whores!

Black Friday deals at Street Whores

There are deals for the girls: you can make a photo with a motorcycle at Natalie Gem's gallery and across the street Wanda's has a 50% off-titled top and a black handbag as a gift. I picked those up and made a photo on the motorcycle.

When I continued my walk down the road, I noticed Whotter had also placed some signs: "Black Friday" and "50% OFF". Since he has no real business model I wondered what that meant. Had he already eaten 50% of the fish himself? Or was the fish just for 50% off?

I wouldn't trust it. Best try his fish if you want to poison someone else.
