Love and Romance Dance at Cafe LaPe'rouse @ Austin


My boo and I attended the Love and Romance Dance hosted by Sage Avedon (SageWisdom) with DJ Painthorse. Naughty Glimmer provided the venue.

It was also the first year anniversary of when Billy Avedon and Sage first met, and so congratulations came fast and furious as the ladies in their beautiful red gowns and the gentlemen in their finest tuxedoes danced around the elaborate set.


I wore one of the older tuxes in my wardrobe, while Linda wore a stunning red beatrice and sequins gown, with a slit down to one side and her back fully exposed. I could not take my eyes (and hands!) off her.


A couple more pics from the event. My apologies as I didn't have the midnight setting on my viewer for most of the pics.





We also attended Ratzu's always interesting Gallery Discussion prior to the dance.

Finalizing DM Body Jeopardy


I worked to finalize the Body Jeopardy game.

Everything seems to be working well, including the scoreboard (which Linda will have to re-texture). I even added two sex toys that the game will rez if needed. A customer can add their own COPY toys into it if they'd like, though getting the toys to rez in the correct orientation is a major headache. I'm thinking people will just set up their own toys without needing the game to do that for them.

Or maybe I can create a special basic toy that I'll include in the final version. They can use it, or they can use their own. Up to them.

Leslie Grace: Hispanic and 1950s Americana Fusion

I enjoy the fusion of Hispanic dance and tones with early 1960s American music done by Leslie Grace.

Enjoy.

Chatting by the fire


Spent some time this evening shooting the breeze with Melinda Nyn and Aria Vyper at our home in Sailors Cove South.

I lit the camp fire and we sat by one of the fallen logs Linda had scattered around it.

I have to say, it's always nice to chat with friends by a warm fire and under the star-filled night sky.

Pumpkin Patch Prom at Cafe LaPe'rouse @ Austin


Austin held a Pumpkin Path Prom and Pumpkin decorating contest on October 18, 2015.

Two days before the start of the Pumpkin Patch Prom, I asked Aria Vyper for the pumpkin building kit. I'm not by any means a good builder, or very artistic in my leanings, but I decided I'd join in on the pumpkin decorating contest anyways.

However, instead of spending time decorating the pumpkin, I was moved to add about 7 naughty couple poses to my pumpkin instead. I modified the poses from my Plumber's Pleasure sex toy, and they seemed to turn out ok. To be honest, the poses are dated and not on par with BH animations, but it was still a lot of fun to create something on the fly.

I gave Aria a Naughty Pumpkin Giver which would give out copies of the Naughty Pumpkin with poses to any of the guests who wanted them.

My Naughty Pumpkin
The venue to the contest and dance, which was hosted by Melinda Nyn with  Painthorse Graymark as the DJ, was created by Aria, who again demonstrated her ingenuity when it comes to designing and building interesting environments.


Quite a number of entries to the contest were submitted. Below are some of the entries. I apologize if I did not manage to take pics of some as I took the images the night before the event. I believe I'm missing Belle's (Darlingbelle) entry.

SageWisdom's Pumpkin
(2) Melinda Nyn, (3) Sweetness Whitesong
(5) WW (Worldwide Pedalo) (6) Crux Maximus
(7) Jen Umaga (8) MK
Avril's Pumpkins
I could not attend the actual event due to RL constraints, but from all accounts a fun time was had by all.

Ratzu and Aqua were the judges on the pumpkin decorating event. The first place winner was WW's entry, with SageW coming in second, and Jen and Melinda tying for third. The winner got a cool 1000L, the second place finisher went home with 500L, and  the third place winners split 250L each.

Fall colors in Sailors Cove South


Linda has a penchant for redecorating her store and home as the seasons progress, and I was surprised to see fallen leaves on our deck and Fall colors on a couple of the trees in the yard.

My little boo obviously does not care that we live in the middle of a tropical rain forest ;-)

Body Jeopardy Game


I spent a few hours during the weekend finishing up on a new BDSM game I may place into the Depraved Monkey store. It's my first scripting work since I did the bike items for the Live to Ride store, and it felt good to get my hands dirty coding again.

I have the option of making it quite a bit sophisticated, with rezzing toys that use RLV to capture avatars who rolled the dice and prepping them for whatever "funishment" they fell into while playing the game, but I may opt to keep it simple instead.

My 8k Girl

Bidding for Linda at Austin's 6th Anniversary Auction (Oct 11, 2014)
Second Life is funny. Time flows different. Sometimes it seems like a few years in RL feels like decades in SL to me.

But then there are times when something that happened a year ago feels like it happened just yesterday.

I can still remember vividly bidding on Linda as she stood on the stage with Ratzu. I had been grocery shopping and had been frantically asking Ivy to make sure her card did not come up until I could get back home and log inworld.

I managed to log in perhaps an hour before the auction ended for the day, and Linda herself logged in 15 minutes later and sat by my feet.

My girl was woozy and quite worried about getting up on stage, but like a good little soldier marched up onto the stage when her card came up. I remember Ratzu describing her as a southern belle with tabasco sauce because she came from Texas, and I remember her saying "dang it" (or maybe something stronger lol) as the bid price rose.

I won her for 8000 L, the best deal I have ever made in my life. A promise of a two hour date that stretched to months and then a year.

A few weeks later, I made her my own promise (paraphrased below) that I hope I have managed to keep for the last year, and hopefully will keep for many more years to come.

Promises are broken all the time.
It is the great destroyer of all things that
we cherish and proclaim,
no matter how earnest we are at the time.

But I promise you this anyway.

I will always love you, as long as I live.
I will always care for you and try to keep you safe,
so long as I am able.
I will always remember you,
even as I grow old and the years pass
quickly like falling leaves.

That is my promise to you.

Big Top Circus Dance at Cafe LaPe'rouse @ Austin


A Big Top Circus Dance was held on September 19, 2015 as part of the Austin 7th Anniversary celebrations, with Dee (Dee Wolfe) as the DJ of the fun event, and Naughty Glimmer setting it up.

Linda and I both came as clowns, and we both added to the generous splash of colors that decorated the circus tent venue that afternoon. I was in my purple joker outfit, complete with its scary white mask, while Linda was even more elaborately dressed, with a jingling hat, big big clown shoes, and knee length striped socks.

Everyone else was just as nicely dressed, and we had a great time poking fun at each other's outfits, especially Jen Umaga, who had a skirt that doubled as a flat table, with various drinks sloshing dangerously atop it.

It was a cool fun time, though my boo had to leave early. More pics below:

SLub


An awesome video from AisleyRansom about the emotional struggles of a GIT at Austin! ha ha

Back

Linda: "C'mon now, did you miss me while on vacation, big shot?"
Well, you went uptown riding in your limousine
With your fine Park Avenue clothes
You had the Dom Perignon in your hand
And the spoon up your nose
And when you wake up in the morning
With your head on fire
And your eyes too bloody to see
Go on and cry in your coffee
But don't come bitchin' to me

MachoKing: "Only like every few seconds baby..."
Linda: "Oh wow! Really? xoxo"
MachoKing: "Uh...well...I DID think of you while watching Willy Wonka on cable...oh hey! Great shoes!"

Collaring Ceremony of Tiger Zepp and Jaci


I attended the collaring ceremony of Tiger Zepp and Jaci (jaclinames) on October 4, 2015 at Cafe LaPe'rouse @ Austin.

The event was presided over by Ratzu Darkstone himself, with Avril Aura assisting the submissive and Crux Maximus standing with the Dominant.

Assisted by Crux and Avril
It attracted a very large crowd of well-wishers and friends, and the whole place was abuzz with excitement as the event began.

Nearly 40 friends and well wishers attended
Ratzu began by noting that:

A collaring is a promise, made in the hearts of two people who love each other. Within the circle of its love, it encompasses all of life's most important relationships. A Master and girl are each other's lover, teacher, listener, critic, and best friend. It is the sharing of experience, and an adventure in the most intimate of human experiences.


Ratzu
Tiger Zepp and Jaci then exchanged their heartfelt promises to one another.

Tiger Zepp: "Jaci, it is my intent to offer you my collar as a sign of your full submission to me. Are you willing here and now in front of all these friends colleagues and witnesses to accept my collar?"

jaci (jaclinames): It would be my deepest joy, my Master, yes!

jaci (jaclinames): I offer you this leash, trusting you to guide us through this journey together. My heart desires nothing more than to be yours, always following your lead. ...

Tiger Zepp: "Jaci ,with the placing of this collar around your neck and your acceptance of it, I vow to do everything I can to be worthy of you. I promise to hold you and keep you safe, to stretch you and give you flight, to respect the needs of our relationship above all others, to love you, honour you, to  support, direct  and guide you in all things and be sensitive to your needs and desires ."

Tiger Zepp: "I acknowledge fully  the trust you have placed in me and the responsibility that goes with my acceptance of that trust. I will not violate that trust. I acknowledge and accept with all my heart soul abd body ,  the gift of submission you have made to me. This collar will be a symbol of that which we already know: that you are mine,  and I your ANAM CARA -

Tiger Zepp: and by your wearing of this  this collar -  you will always be safe, at peace and to be everything that you have ever been , everything that that you are now , and all that you will ever become…

Tiger Zepp: "Jaci ………….Do you accept this collar in the spirit by which it is given you?"

jaci (jaclinames): I accept the honour that you bestow upon me, my Master. The collar you placed around my neck is a powerful symbol of the control I willingly surrender to you. I wear it as an outward expression of your ownership of me, and my unconditional commitment to our life together. I wear it not only freely, but with immense joy and respect.

jaci (jaclinames): I honour our relationship above all others, and will always strive to fulfill your needs and desires. I pledge to support you , to be there for you always, to keep your counsel and take your dreams and desires as my own.

jaci (jaclinames): I will communicate openly and honestly with you, keeping nothing from you. I will not dishonour you, in thought, or deed, nor judge or second guess your intent and ability to guide us to our highest possible goal.

jaci (jaclinames): I will wear this collar with pride, knowing that you love me, cherish me, respect me and hold me always within your arms and heart. I will love you eternally, in the silence within my soul where you reside as Master, and Anam Cara.

I promise to love, honour, respect and obey you for all time.

Tiger Zepp: "Our bond is now sealed by my locking of your collar -   and witnessed  to be so before our assembled friends … you are now fully … mine "

jaci (jaclinames): for all time, my Master.


Exchanging vows
The emotional declarations were followed by many well wishes from the crowd, after which people filed over to North Beach for a dance.

This was the first ever collaring ceremony in SL that I had ever attended, and I was really moved by the grave solemnity of the two participants and their obvious dedication to one another.

I hope I get to attend many more to come.

Ulrika Tomsen created a video for it:


And a few more pics of the ceremony:
