80's child

Last night, I decided to finally unpack the prizes I got from the Trapped in the 80's hunt, so that I could find something to wear to the TX950 party that happened earlier this evening. The party was held at Info Island International and it was a 1980's theme. I had a feeling that I was going to be someone's twin at the party and I was with Hollyjean! We even chose the same leggings option and wore similar colored shoes!

I rarely have my sound on in SL, but at the party I had the music on the whole time. I loved all of the 80's music that the DJ played. My favorite part was when everyone did the Thriller dance when the DJ played Michael Jackson's Thriller. Only in SL, I can still dance with MJ! That's Timo dressed up as him. Congrats to Timo and Galia for winning the costume contest.

On a Mission for Watermelons!

When I logged in today, I received a message from [S2] about the Kimodameshi hunt. I quickly teleported over to the shop because I saw that the prize was a watermelon gun! At first, I thought that I just had to look for objects in the shop or sim, but I read through the instructions and saw that I had to complete 6 missions to get the prize. In my previous post, I raved about toys and launchers in SL, so I was determined to complete the missions. The missions were fun and they were fairly easy. Some places were scary, especially the ones with zombies that can attack.

I got some small prizes throughout the missions and at the very end I found the watermelon gun! Of course, I already tried it out on a couple of avatars who shot at me earlier when I was unarmed :).

Toys

I love the toys in SL! The majority of what is in my inventory is either toys (cars, bikes, launchers, shoulder pets, funny wearable things, etc.) and clothes. I love the clothes in SL too, but lately if I'm just spending time alone and not taking pictures, then I won't even bother changing clothes. The fun hula hoops that I'm using in the above picture are from DeminAtions.

If I'm in the mood for cuteness, I'll take out one of my shoulder pets or dolls. If I feel like relieving some stress, I'll go in my skybox and take out one of my launchers and start shooting random objects (I particularly like my cupcakes launcher) at the walls. If I'm bored of walking or standing around somewhere, I'll ride around in a car, motorcycle, scooter, or bike. The toys are great to get away from the seriousness for a bit!

She Bangs and Color Coordinated Chorus Line

Last night, I picked up the freebie (Posh) hairs at their shop on The Rumor sim. I tried on all of the hairstyles in jet black and I came across the one pictured above called The Affair. I cut my bangs a couple of months ago in RL, but the weather has been hot lately, so I've been pinning my bangs up and they have grown out. When I comb them down, they look just like The Affair. Time for a trim!

On one of the days at Jazz Cat last week, we started off dancing in a line. I love "line" dancing! I thought it would be funny if the line kept growing, but we ended up in the usual dancing circle. I've also noticed that there have been several days when a lot of us would show up wearing similar colors totally unplanned! Something about seeing avatars move and pose in a synchronized way can make me laugh all day!

Mysterious Door

A couple of days ago, I received a group notice about new prizes in the lucky boards at D!va. I stalked it last night and I took a seat on one of the chairs close by to wait for my letter. The chair had various poses, so I clicked through them and chose the one pictured above. I couldn't stop laughing when I noticed the person sitting next to me also chose a similar pose and then another person came up to me and asked if I was asleep! There isn't much I can do when I'm stalking a chair or board, especially if it's a no rez area. Some of the things I do are: read profiles, chat and read IMs (rarely any other stalkers close by chat in local), and cam around the shop or sim.

While I cammed around the shop, I noticed a small door in a corner. I've heard someone mention these doors in a group chat before, but I haven't seen one until last night. They are teleporters that people can crawl through to get to another destination. There wasn't anything labeled that shows where it will take me and I was curious about it, so I clicked open the door and crawled through it.

I ended up in the shop's attic area that had a couple of chairs overlooking the gorgeous view of the sim. It's a somewhat private area because I can see outside, but people outside can not look in. It was a fun little adventure and I ended up winning two prizes!
