We Are Back!!!

That's right!  After a few years of silence, I now can get back in Second Life and share some of the funny things that I see there all the time.  If you have anything to share, feel free to IM me in SL.  I still can't get in there as often as I would like, since before it was because my computer broke and now I'm dealing with a bad monitor.  But I wanted those of you following this blog to know that soon there will be more funny updates!  Funny, cute, and all that!  And just for fun, I'll share this cute little snowman.  It's one I made, not something someone else made or wore, but I can't resist the giggle it gives people.  It's my version of a snowman's suicide attempt! ;)

Dancing Queen... Shut Your Mouth!

What drew my attention to this one was the way she was dancing. Her AO had her moving and posing unlike many I've seen before or since. She'd stick her pelvis out, as if doing a grind. But it wasn't a dance, not like the ones that I've seen where they are dancing around. Nope, it was a pose. Vajaja pushed up for the world to see. Then grinding back to knock knees together. Even one of the poses had her crossing her legs like she had to pee!

Then I got a closer look. I'd seen her mouth open but... She had a bunny in her mouth! As normal, I pixelated her eyes to keep her privacy, but on one I did make it a little less so you could see that while taking the photos, she winked! In the midst of grinding her bottom, she pushing her hip to the side, she winked! All the time with a bunny in her mouth!

Okay... now some may wonder why I am putting her here. After all, her outfit was cute, and the bunny is cute. Her skin is nice. Though you can't see it, her fake lashes don't match up, but that's not a reason to put her here. It's the whole thing. It's the "I have a cross on my neck, dressed like a vampire, grinding my hips from side to side, inviting you to take a closer look at my vajaja, and all the while.. I have a bunny in my mouth. Aren't I cute?" It just doesn't all match. I could see one of the cuties with a bunny in her mouth. But this outfit? This AO? A BUNNY! I expected something like ... a bat! Would make more sense then a BUNNY!

I guess koodoes go for having the guts to chomp down though. Ooooo now that would have been really good! If suddenly she'd have closed her mouth and blood would have spurted out! Now THAT would have gone with that outfit and AO!

Scooter Bunny ... "Thumbs Up!"

Okay, so I haven't done a Thumbs Up in awhile, so thought I'd show you this cuttie. It was on a hunt and stopped by my old shop. I have seen bunnies, posted one, but hadn't seen a pirate bunny yet. And on a scooter!

She was so cute pushing her scooter around looking for things. Thumps Up, Bunny!

Did she buy jeans or rips?

Did she buy jeans or rips?, originally uploaded by Tiea Aeon.

Okay, I don't get it. I mean, I have honestly seen jeans with rips, but this is more rips with jeans! If this were NOT Second Life, there is no way this material could be on her body! Well what tiny material it is.

I know, I know, Second Life is for this type of thing. Doing the things you can't in real life. But let's be honest... This isn't that sort of thing. This is something I'd see at one of the stripper places in Second Life.

Guess where I saw it? PLANT SHOPPING!

Dance for You Supper...err, I mean Lucky Chair!

There is so much wrong here that I don't know where to start....

The shading isn't her fault, at least that is one for her. Each time she would dance, she'd move into the light of someones Face Light 10,000 then dance out of it's range for a bit. Gotta love those face lights. Either I'm getting more sensitive to them, or they are getting brighter. I don't even wear my soft one 90% the time.

But face light aside... first off lets make it perfectly clear. This woman had her sliders on stick figure. She was taller then the average av, you can see the blurry man in back, he wasn't that far away, and she was almost stick thin. Of course I've posted worst 'stick' figures, but she was definitely on the anorexic side.

All that aside, I was going to give her the fact that she was dancing at a lucky chair, and after watching her for 5 minutes knew she wasn't going to stop any time soon, though I didn't see any dance halls around or party. Maybe her AO got stuck on when she TPed and she just didn't know it. I did it the other night, forgot to unsit and ended up looking like I was crucified for some time to my friends where as to me I looked normal. And I was almost about ready to let it go that she was in her underwear! Yet again another person who has to show up in nothing or their underwear to check out a lucky chair.

Till she started some of these moves. I wanted to instantly point out the bathroom because she looked like she was about ready to pee down her leg.

I think this "what were they thinking" post is a combination of the sum total. I hope she finally found that restroom.

Bush Anyone? or Please Put On Underwear!

I really don't understand this look. Especially in public. I have seen.. similar things. Where they are wearing fish net items, but never in a public place and never with a skin that just doesn't look good in fish net. I think that if you are going to wear this, you need to at least make the bottom half look... trimmed. Or less obvious. No one really wants to stumble on this look and have to take a double take. Because they do, since it's almost as if you can see little prim pubes coming out of that mess below. Oh I know! I know! People DO have private areas that look like that. However, if someone in real life is going to wear that, they make sure that area is well taken care of, knowing that it is going to obviously be seen. This look just seems so... WRONG for a public place. At least with that... umm... bush sprouting from below. My suggestion ... Don't take this look out in public. It's obviously meant for the bedroom.

Mardi Gras Bunny! .... "Thumbs Up!"

I ran into this little cutie while I was getting photos of a shop for the Spring Is In The Air Easter egg hunt. She was all dressed up for a Mardi Gras party.

Upon talking to her, I discovered she'd made the little costume herself and gave me a copy.

Way to go, Comka! Cute addition for a tiny!

How to get those perfect stick legs!

You know how I love hunts! You see the most interesting people. Both good and bad. In fact, there are some bunnies I saw that I plan on showing you in the next post or two, that were really cute! And I'd planned on showing them first, that is until I ran across this young lady!

I'd been trying to finish the St. Patty's GL Hunt, when out of the corner of my eye I saw something jumping and flapping about. I had the viewer on wireframe, to try to make it easier to find some of the boxes that had been hidden inside and under the vendor's carts (a big no no according to the rules, but done none the less) and so at first I thought I was seeing something.

So I turned wireframe off and cammed over there. And suddenly I was cranking up the quality of my viewer so that I could get the best capture of this new exercise. As you can see, it was pretty physical, going back and forth like she was.

To try to help show the action, I kept the "burning bush" in the upper left hand corner as I cropped each photo. But even doing that it just doesn't seem to do it justice.

Photos #1-5 show just how much she was going back and forth, her head rolling around as well as her arms and legs flapping in the wind.

Then came photos #6-9... It would seem that she wasn't alone. Maybe she had a coach? Someone who was timing her, or counting the number of... of... crab squats she was doing. What ever the case, this other lady showed up and said something in Japanese and suddenly the crab lady yelled "STOP" and stood up.

(Click on photo for full sized image)

And what is the result of all these squats and lunges? A nice curvy body with smooth lines where they should be and a tight bottom from the lungs? Oh no! Nothing like that! No, for all this humiliation, I mean, after all, she was doing it in a CROWDED hunting ground with a ton of people watching her sweat her little butt off, and I do mean literally, as I didn't see a butt to speak of... For all this hard work and embarrassment she gets..... **drum roll**

These beautiful bird legs!

I was afraid that if she started lunging and flapping her arms again, something might just snap off or she's take flight from being so thin! Poor thing! One stiff breeze and that might be the end of her. She might just blow away in the wind! So I won't ask what's up with the black feathers stuck to her stockings. At least I think they were feathers... I couldn't find any feathers anywhere else in or on her outfit to tie in with why they would be stuck on her stockings. Maybe it had something to do with her legs.... All I know is that I'm going to stay very clear of that exercise if that's the result I'll get.

Just take it off...

I've seen some pants pieces, and some different clothing pieces, that fit great. Then there are these types of 'additions'. He's got on what appears to be some sort of overalls. But they are not fitting right. They are too big and when he sits, they go all over the place.

Then when he STANDS... it's not much better. His AO messes up the whole look to begin with. If you can't sit and you can't stand, why wear it in the first place? Besides, doesn't it remind you of a diaper?

Underwear PLEASE!

When you first see this guy, you think that he's got... well interesting tastes. Of course the codpiece is a bit much for me. I don't know why he'd need chainmail to cover his .. package. But he seems to think he needs it. Then he turns around.

And you wish he'd put the same chainmail on his bottom! I mean give me a break! We are in a public shop with little child avatars running around and people really don't need to be mooned by that!

Open up and say AAAAAAAAAAAAA

At first glance this looks like a lady with something in her mouth. I've seen one (will have to post it here sometime) with a woman who had her mouth open all the time. I got closer and saw a tiny bunny sitting on her tongue. So I thought this lady might have something in her head, I mean something other then the bling coming out of her ears and head.

But then she moved and I was able to get a better view. Doesn't she look like she's waiting for you to fee her? Whatever her reasons, it seemed she had something cause in her throat.

And that something was her neck collar! She didn't have anything sitting on her tongue but for this collar that kept pushing out of her neck.

It couldn't be the collar keeping her mouth open, but it was cutting into her neck.

What do I have to say about this? Simple. "EDIT YOUR PRIMS". That simple. Had she taken but a few moments to check out her neck thing, and her animation that opened her mouth up to catch flies, I could have mentioned to the poor woman that there was nothing in her mouth and people would start to stare soon. But even as I saw her shopping for hair, I couldn't believe it. Nothing in her mouth but the collar and still she walked around looking like that. Not to mention that bling.

That bling coming out of her head has got to go.

Sorry I haven't done anything lately...

It isn't like I haven't SEEN plenty, it's that as soon as I started announcing the new Spring Is In The Air Easter egg hunt, I've gotten a lot of applications.  Each one I have to go over and check out the store.  Decide if they make enough of the items themselves and then choose if they can be in the hunt. It's for small businesses, mainly non name brand SL shops, and limited to only 100 shops.  Because of this, I have to check them out in the order they came in. Then if they are approved, get them added to the blog. 

In the mean time, when I do take a break, I run around and try to finish the KISS hunt as it ends in two days.  Or the Greatest Love hunt, though it does last a bit longer.  I'd like to be able to get through them, and especially now since the KISS hunt has had so many take their kisses and put them away.

I did run across this one person while out.  And I spent an hour and a half last night blacking their eyes out and adding text to the movie I made.  I will be posting it a bit later, so look for it.  After all that work, it ended up 12 megs! So I had to scale the size down to about 75%, as the 50% version looked terrible, and it is still 7 megs!  I don't dare put it on YouTube or they will shrink it too small.  So will just upload it to my domain.  

In the mean time... remember, if you find something interesting out there, drop me a line. I'd love to add it here.

"Thumbs Up" or A Cute Hunting Outfit

Well, I think that sometimes you just have to go all out when you hunt. It is a themed hunt, with V-Day and all upon us. Though some go WAY TOO FAR, there are those few that come out with some of the cutest little outfits.

Like this cute little lady. I talked to her for a few minutes and she was having a good time. I loved the way that she could shoot her arrow at someone, and the hearts would flow from her arrow to the person she pointed at.

Here are a few of the photos I took while there.

The Hunts are ON!

Yes folks! The Greatest Love Hunt and the Kiss Hunt are BOTH going on at the same time. And unlike what Kiss's rules state, many of the Greatest Love stops I've been to have had Kisses there as well, in the same area.

But that isn't why I'm writing to you, nope! Why I'm writing is to ask people IN the hunt to PLEASE PUT ON SOME CLOTHES!

I can't believe, okay I can, been to a few hunts already, how many people out there think "Oh, I'm just going to search for the box and get out of there. No one will notice me. I'll go in my undies!" Or is it that they are thinking "I think I'll show off my sexy underwear to whomever is hunting too! It will be fun!" Whatever they are thinking, I'm going to give you a few examples of ladies who should have thought before going on the hunt. Like this one. Excuse me, please, but... well maybe she found it in a Hunt box? Except she got the jewerly going too. In fact, she looks like she just stepped out of a high class brothel. I expect the Bunny Menu to be held in her hand and her doing a little curties and saying "Hi, my name is Bunny Love and I'm sooooo happy to see you."

Remember the Naked Lucky Chair Lady?

It happened again. Another lucky chair for a hair shop, but the SAME naked lady!

I'd just TP'd in when here she comes. I couldn't believe it. Of course one shock was that the system boots/shoes were gone and she had honest to goodness real prim boots on! After the shock of that wore off, and I couldn't help myself. I cammed around, just to see if the tattoo was still there.

As you can see, it was gone. And her nipples were finally covered, well for the most part at least. But her southern regions were totally exposed!

Not only that, but if you looked at her from the front, the "outfit" she was wearing made her look like she had poop on her thighs! Because the marks didn't match up! If you are going to go naked, and if you are going to stand there with your legs spread eagle so God and everyone can see, then at least get an outfit that FITS!

I've pixelated her face to hide her identity and keep her shame her own, and for safety's sake I've pixelated her private parts too. But there is still no mistaking how obvious that had to be to everyone around.

Totally floored and hardly able to move, I clicked on her profile. That was another shocker too. She was old enough to own clothes but even in her profile picture she wasn't wearing any! Well unless you call a cut off fish net top clothes.

What is happening in SL when someone goes to a VERY public store (in this case a VERY busy favorite hair shop for lots of people) naked and just stands there waiting for their letter to come up? Is there no moralilty? Any decency?

I Thought The Michelin Tireman Was A MAN?

Okay, I'm lost here. I thought the tire man was a... man! Yeah yeah yeah, so this isn't exactly a puffy white tire monster, but it's close. When did you see walking tires last?

Maybe it was the Stay Puff Marshmellow Man she was trying to imitate because she had HUGE breasts. Maybe not as big as I have seen t hem so far, but big enough to seem almost square in size.

And the BLING! Ladies, ladies, ladies.... No one needs THAT much bling! It was coming out from everywhere! Her.. feet, her ears, her chest, her hair, it was a mess! And while on the subject of feet, her shoes, when she did finally walk away, looked like they were melting into the floor! What is up with that?

It wasn't until she turned and walked away that the full extent of the mess she'd made of her outfit and shape came into full view. Or back view. It was another one of those "I have no clue how she did that" type situations. Because her bottom also was square. BIG and square-ish. I've seen some big bottoms that looked okay. Maybe because they knew how to model it. Anyone with a big bottom will have big thighs, or at least thighs that start big and smooth down. It's the way the shape works. To have two... thin legs coming out of a big bottom just looks... Well, it looked like she was a wrestler getting ready for a match. Maybe that was why she was there. Looking for a mask. No idea, but she needed help, that was clear. I hope she found it.

First "Thumbs Up" or The Bee Lady

This is my first "Thumbs Up" post. I don't want to just show those things that are funny or pathetic or horrifying, I want to also show things that are interesting and sometimes even really neat. On those, I'll call them my "Thumbs Up" posts. And unlike the ones where I pixelate the eyes to hide identities, though sometimes I don't see how that will matter, these people have nothing to be ashamed of and therefor they will be shown as I saw them so you too can get the full effect.

I was standing around, looking at hair, when I noticed a bee fly by me. Looking around I saw this lady.

She had these interesting prim bees flying around her, circling her.

No matter where she went, or how she moved, they moved with her.

Even standing still they were there. Some may not have cared, or kept looking, but since my logo for AmberMyst Botanical Designs is a bee, I kept looking.

Then I noticed where they were coming from. A very interesting flower wrist band she was wearing. What I found most interesting was that they were not particle bees, but rather prim bees.

As she walked away, and the bees went with her, I was glad I'd had a chance to take the photos. I had only wished I'd had time to check out where she got the wrist band from.

Face Lights -- When is enough enough?

I don't like face lights that are so strong you can't see anything but the person wearing the light. There are lights that take all the light away from everyone around them, and they are the only ones that can be seen. It is amazingly rude to be standing somewhere, say like in photo 1, trying on hair, when suddenly the lights go out. You can't see anything, not even your own face.

This is one example of that and how rude people can be. Honestly, does she really think that we are going to marvel over just how bright her outfit is? How much her face light shows off her body? And the big rods floating around her, doesn't she think for a moment that when she's rezing somewhere and those show up as grey blobs, that people are going to know she's got huge bars following her to try to make her look better?

Personally I do use a face light. But I designed it myself. It is soft, and only shows up my face in darkness. In daylight you can't tell the difference. I use it mostly so I can see myself at night, see where I am going when at a spot that has no real good outdoor lighting. Those types of lights I can understand. But these... these bars are just overkill. I'm so glad that there is now a video by Torley telling us all how to turn them off!

What the "ladies" are wearing to the Lucky Chairs these days

Lucky Chair Attire, originally uploaded by Tiea Aeon.

Well! I know I haven't posted in a few days, I've been sick. But I wanted to get something up, something that when I saw it, I almost fainted from shock!

This lady was standing between two lucky chairs, in the middle of a huge store just staring at them, half naked. Okay, honestly, more then half naked, almost all naked! I don't know what shocked me more. The fact that she had so little clothes on in a hugely public place, or that she didn't seem to care. Does her dictionary not include the "M"s?

I can only hope that once she got her free hair, she went and got her some free clothes. I know a few good lucky chairs if she needs help. ;)

I've never seen eyes like this before!

primeyes, originally uploaded by Tiea Aeon.

Night before last, I heard of a group gift that was worth checking out. So I popped on over to their shop and was watching some people unpacking and changing in the middle of the room, when someone walked in with this lovely dark chocolate brown skin. She looked cute, and I was watching her rez when suddenly I noticed these white things under her eyes. I waited for her to finish rezing, then looked again. But they were still there. When I cammed in I was shocked! Prim eyes!

Being in-world over a year I had never seen them before. I asked around to a few of my lists and found out that they are mostly used for specialty items. Glowing effect and such. I could understand that. But this? This had no excuse. I could tell by the way she dressed that she knew how to edit clothing to fit. So why not her eyes? Maybe she needed glasses on top of everything else?
