Woohoo!

Jumping for joy at one of my best friends and favorite DJ is going to be coming back soon! Just got this notice from her group:

Group Notice From: Lorelei Live, Lorelei Eberhardt

Hi everyone! I know I promised to come back sooner, but as luck would have it, I broke my wrist. Now, just as my wrist has healed, I have finally had a jaw surgery I've been waiting on for a long time.

(This means I can't talk right now!) While I recover, I'm getting my music together and scoping out some places to DJ. I promise I will be back soon.

Thank you to everyone who has continued to support me in my absence!

inworld sales

Every so often you see people talking about how the Marketplace has led to a pretty large decline of inworld sales. Thus causing traffic numbers to drop drastically at the malls and sales regions. Which leads to businesses pulling up their stores since they aren't cost effective anymore. That of course leads to even less traffic and more empty sims and so on.

I'm wondering if there is way to reverse a little bit of that. Of course this would require the cooperation of a few creators and business owners to work. But here is my idea.

See if some creators would be willing to make a small line that is only available inworld, no marketplace listings for them. Get them all together in one smaller sized mall or around a club or some such. Then actually advertise what is going on. Make sure people know about the 'inworld only' store. Get some bloggers to push it, maybe have a dance party at the location with a couple of the more popular DJ's, talk about it on the forums, things like that.

This is just a musing of course. Just thinking out loud about if it would actually work a little bit. Ah well, maybe if I ever get time to get inworld as much as I used to I could get a few folks to try it out.

Valentines Day

For those very few of you who know me will most likely get a smile out of this. Those who don't will probably find it funny as well.

It's Valentines Day. Had a wonderful dinner with my husband, so much flirting, very public about it also. He also had quite the case of 'roving hands' as well. Currently he's getting ready to put our daughter down to sleep while I take care of some stuff on my computer. I can't resist getting on here and bragging about how spoiled I am today.

Tonight is going to be a really, really good night. So for those who know me I thought I would put up a picture that describes what tonight is going to be like.

Twitter fun

Google never lets me down anymore.

Okay I couldn't help myself this morning. I logged in and checked to see what keywords in search engines had led people here... alt detections, sl alt detection, y'know the usual ones. Then I saw one that made me laugh a little bit.

"sl pussy business"

So I just had to do it. I pulled up google and typed in those words and well how do you like that. There was a link to my site near the bottom of the first page. Okay I can understand it somewhat as it links to a post that has those words in it, just not in that order.

But I noticed another link in the google search from 2006. An article with the title of 'The Best Little Whorehouses in Second Life".

Here it is

A nice little list of the best escort services in Second Life at that time according to the author. So now I have a little mission the next time I log in. I'm going to search out each one just to see how many on this list still actually exist inworld. Something tells me I'll be lucky if two are still there. Longevity of businesses in SL doesn't seem to favor anything lasting more than a couple years.
