Ravishal Ramblings

Probably the worst week in SL and RL for me in quite a while. Nothing I really care to discuss but it’s dampened my enthusiasm for SL quite a bit, hence the lack of updates. I’m hoping this upcoming week is better. Did have a nice dance with my wife, Izabella Bentham at the Blue Note sim:

We also had a Pirate party at Sailors Cove last Saturday which was pretty fun. Her I am dancing with GoSpeed. Notice how Iza isn’t too happy about that. GoSpeed has a habit of being a rascal at times

She also got into a little scrap with a german gal who wasn’t told that the sailboat race was also a combination bumpercars and sea battle. Seems the frauline wanted to file an Abuse Report on GoSpeed, but all was resolved peacefully.

So here it is on a Friday afternoon and I can’t get into SL at all. The sim went down and when I go to log back in I can’t. I see there is only 19,000 people online. Normally it is 30,000 plus. So you know it is really messed up!

Had the Pleasure to attend a friend’s wedding last night. David Shenzhou and Mariana Stallion were reaffirming their RL wedding vows in SL on thier 11th wedding anniversary. The event was hosted on Hukilau island where a very special  venue was created:

Me, Odin and Kevin up front.

Had the pleasure of posing for photos on Sunday for a product a friend is making. Izabella Bentham is making a set of personal lights that highlight and illuminate an avatar’s uppoer body. These screenshots illustrate how they work on me:

With Lights :

A s you can see they work pretty well, especially if you have a dark complexion. Izabella hopes to have them on sale soon, via SLboutique.
