LoveCraft: Abandoned Asylum Garden

There’s a place of great mythology where storytellers talk of. An underwater garden which once housed those who took the path to madness. Some say it long sunk to rising seas. Others say it rises only to catch new victims to consume their dark forbidden souls.

Some say that this path to madness is run by Gorgons who lure lonely souls as new captives with a rose garden where they are met by someone appears too beautifully and sensual to refuse.

 

She appears in white like a bride, unless given away by her many lengths of tentacles trailing below her gown. If only the distraction of her seducing didn’t distract from her real form.

She is called when her next victim sits on the lover’s fountain.

She only appears in her form when she enters through the gate only to transform once she stands before her next taking. Her radiant face and her naked form as her eyes capture her next victim’s soul. A soul captured once they take their place on lover’s fountain, visible only to the Gorgon said to remove them existence as she takes them into her realm.

Never to be seen again.

Lovecraft Festival is currently open 17th to 26th August. Come and take the path to madness to enjoy entertainment and visit vendors while you’re here.

Lovecraft & The Deep

They told me that I should never go to the deep because it was dangerous. Dangerous because something lived down there in the dark murky water of the deep where those who were lucky to return, weren’t.

But she called me. I could hear her voice calling to me in my sleep. Beckoning me to come to her as I heard her eerie yet sensual voice.

So down I went. Deep into her chasm. And there I found her.

I found her emptiness that called me. Her nothing. Her everything.

I explored her chambers where upon of which I was drawn to and I sat. I sat on her furnishings as she claimed me.

I was hers just as she was mine and at that point I knew that I would never leave this room again as I sat as the Captain of my boat, writing my captain’s memoirs as I decayed to nothing.

She had claimed me on my path to madness.

In the realms of a murky darkness is where the mysterious awaits. Is it dark and murky or is it madness. Or are you the mad person here?

Is that a tentacle curling up around your thigh or have you lost the plot?

5th Annual Larry Armchair Event

Today I attended the 5th Annual Larry Armchair Event which is held as part of the Relay For Life for American Cancer Society to raise money to support people with cancer. With the support of Second Life Aviation and Music to Fly By(MtFB), Larry’s Armchair Event set off with tremendous support.

Starting at Flying Burrito Brothers Unity Airport where a chair with balloons securely attached awaited us, a flock of excited aviators were keen to start this group flight to celebrate the very real trip taken by Larry Walters on the 36th Anniversary of his pioneering armchair flight on 2nd of July, 1982.

Flying Burrito Brothers Unity Airport

Departing at 1pm today, 2 July 2018(SLT), one excited traveler made a call out for wine and wine she was delivered. Thank you JɅƳĐΕƝ Ŧαггση for the wine. It made my wine drunken yelling at boaters that much more enjoyable. *hic*

We took off heading east to the Blake Sea, traveling far overseas, spilling the odd drop of wine into the ocean to keep the fish happy(why should fishies miss out?), floating away past Hollywood Airport and over the Rainbow Sails Yacht Club. I was going to yell out to a fellow rainbow sailor but the wind was blowing my words back in my mouth to be heard.

Rainbow Sails Yacht Club

Typically, my yacht was hiding from a wined up balloon riding aviator as you can see in the photo above. Well, you can’t as she’s hiding.

We then headed around and drifted as the winds blew us around facing west, or heading west as I’m sure I was drifting while facing in all directions. As we drifted in the air among curious birds and the occasional hovering helicopter, we passed Honah Lee Field Airport and over the Island of Newbs at Blake Sea – Sirens Isle. I tipped a little spare wine as I passed over. I hope the receivers of raining wine realised it was wine.

Landing at Komatsu Regional Airport

And then with the amazing power of the wind, an ever changing beautiful creature of the sky, we were blown south west where we landed at Komatsu Regional Airport where we celebrated a successful balloon armchair flight with Luke Flywalker blasting us away with rocking tunes.

Somewhere between the start and finish, a couple of us including myself somehow lost our clothing. Whether it was the wind or the wine that dissolved our clothing is up for discussion but thankfully we, Captain Street Reaper and I were wearing our swimwear in case of an emergency watery landing. Nice budgie smuggler, Captain.

All up we had a brilliant day, the sun was bright, the skies were clear, the wind was helpful and the wine, well let’s say the wine was awesome.

Second Pride: This Is Me

June 1969 saw the Stonewall Riots(Manhattan, USA) which gave birth to the rise of rights for LGBTQI communities through global activism. It is for this reason America celebrates their Pride Month in June and we in Second Life also celebrate Pride in June, Second Life being American founded, owned and located.

Last year’s Second Pride was very exciting for me as it was my first virtual pride celebration to attend. It was like experiencing a reawakening of who I am.

There was the moment of love where a gay man broke down through all the built up guilt and abuse placed on him over the years. The biggest virtual group hug supported him offering all the love and support he had been denied all his life, I was reminded why I love my rainbow communities. And in days where there are Governments, political movements and some religious institutions pushing hard to bring back all of the bigotry long defeated, now is more important than ever to stand proudly together and say ‘This is me’.

2018’s Second Pride Event, ‘This is me’ is a celebration of community with monies raised to support The Trevor Project;

“Founded in 1998 by the creators of the Academy Award®-winning short film TREVOR, The Trevor Project is the leading national organization providing crisis intervention and suicide prevention services to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer & questioning (LGBTQ) young people under 25.”

This is going to be one exciting celebration for nobody puts on a party like us rainbows do.

Starts: Friday, 15th June at 7pm to 11pm SLT

Every other day 16th to 24th of June is open 11am to 11pm SLT

Cafe Sheree. Proud sponsor of 2018 Second Pride Event. This Is Me.

10th Anniversary Parade/Party Bay City

The party is on at Bay City’s 10th Anniversary Parade and Party as we celebrate ten years of the best Second Life community in Second Life. Yes, I know I’m biased but not because Cafe Sheree is based here. Bay City rocks as the community spirit here is very impressive.

I quickly felt at home at Bay City.

We gathered at Bay City Municipal Park at Harwich from 12NoonSLT. Everyone was in a jovial mood as we prepared for the parade under the esteemed leadership of Bay City’s Marianne McCann whose our Not Quite the Mayor.

Then off we left. A parade of fun loving Bay Citirians who showed off their Bay Pride.

There were four parade groups. Each of us strutting our stuff. Each of us with our own Bay Pride on as we headed to Bay City Showgrounds.

What a crowd. So many happy here wearing their Bay Pride. It makes me happy that I chose Bay City for Cafe Sheree. I got a chance to wiggle with well known Second Life adventurer/blogger, Daniel Voyager. Hey may not be hopping mad but he has the hippity hop.

Lindens also attended to party with us. Yay!

Four hours of entertainment with live performers and DJ’s.

I love you, Bay City! ♥

1st Annual Miss Parallel Universe Event

I want to start this article on the 1st Annual Miss Parallel Universe by admitting that I wasn’t expecting to enjoy the pageant due my own perception of what I expected to see on display. I was expecting an exhibition of giggle snort “World Peace” giggles by women pretending to be empty headed but beautiful. How glad I am to have been 100% wrong.

MC Luke Flywalker with 8 entrants of 1st Miss Parallel Universe.

On the 14th of April, the First Annual Miss Parallel Universe pageant was held where eight intelligent, beautiful women took the stage wearing gowns, wedding dresses and bikinis made by sponsors as they showed off their wears.

I sat and watched each entrant seeking to be crowned Miss Parallel Universe walked the cat walk, each with a different beautiful dress suiting their personality, their figure and how they wish to present themselves. From gowns to wedding dresses and bikinis, I was transfixed on the professional and respectful way this pageant was.

There was also entertainment with a comic and a live performer. I was very impressed by Saramarie Philly’s live performance who not only sang live, Saramarie played the piano live.

I had my top three entrants who I would have liked to be awarded Winner, 1st Runner Up and 2nd Runner Up. Two of them made it. Two out of three isn’t bad at all. All eight women were worthy of winning. I’m glad I wasn’t one of the judges to make such a difficult decision.

After Saramarie Philly’s live performance, the results were announced.

Winner – Amanda Day
First Runner Up – Mimi Darling
Second Runner Up – Diana

Winner – Miss Parallel Universe Amanda Day

Amanda Day took a little of her time of her busy schedule for me a short interview with me while still on a initial high of being crowned Miss Parallel Universe.

Amanda heard of the pageant through a friend who encouraged her to enter. Thinking it could be fun, Amanda entered to find how much she enjoyed the camaraderie. When asked how she felt after being crowned, Amanda said, “To be the first to be crowned Miss Parallel Universe is an honour because it represents the culmination of all the hard work and achievement of everyone involved” , and that she was thankful to Abby Alexander of Dreamville Estates for everything she had done for the pageant, all of the contestants and her patience while training them for them for the pageant.

I was truly impressed by this pageant event which was well organised. The professionalism and hospitality was awesome. I am looking forward to next year’s 2nd Annual Miss Parallel Universe.

Congratulations to everyone involved to make this event a success.
