Knee jerk reactions

My friend Chav Paderborn often has some funny, dorky or eclectic ideas. Her new dabbling is taking a below-the-belt swing against the latest fashion of breedable pets. In a humorous way she built a stall selling breedable prims, along with outrageous food bills and the promise of super rare items. Everybody who has heard about breedable pets - even hardcore breeders I talked to - could not help but chuckle about this piece of art.

Except my landlord.

Less than 24 hours after I have set up the stall on my land, it got returned to me without any comment. After inquiring, I got the one-liner "breedables are not allowed on our estates" back.

Mind you, Chav's creation does not actually breed. Nor does it actually sell anything. It only includes one script at all, reacting to touch, and giving you one of the plywood cubes shown on the image.

Yet my landlord saw "breedable", and in best established shoot-first-ask-later fashion, returned the object.

Sometimes, actually LOOKING and READING first, and if in doubt, ASKING next, would do the trick.

Oh well...

The full Monty - Spencer Tunick event on Saturday

My dear friend Gina is stagings a Spencer Tunick hommage on Saturday 12:00 SLT (21:00 CET). Spencer Tunick is known for public mass scenes of nude people, and Gina will do a shooting just like that in the "Experience Italy" sim. She needs about 10 more people willing to pose naked. If you are interested, send an IM to "Gina Glimmer".

Please check your agenda's for this Saturday, noon SLT. If you cannot make it please leave the group as I need a head count for the pose balls :(

I do hope that you all can make it though!

And! Since there's still room for more attendees, feel free to refer people who'd like to join to me :)

Thank you and I hope to see you all this Saturday!

Snowmen art

Alpha-blogger Veyron Supercharge posted some hilarious sculptures involving snowmen here and here. Now I found another installation along these lines myself:


Visit it at Labyrinth while it lasts.
