Neva

It's been quite a while since I've made any sort of entry here. The delay is due to real life issues though. A move and work becoming more demanding of my time, but things are settling down a bit now. But just before I moved, I met my SL wife's daughter, Neva.

Neva is fun to be around and kind and polite. She also has a very beautiful place she lives at which is decorated wonderfully. So she obviously has great taste too.

After touring her place, I took her on a tour of mine. We made use of the hot air balloon ride and floated around the sim. I also showed her the skybox where her mother and I live. This might have been a mistake as it is now obvious to Neva that her mother is a pervert. Maybe she can justify it by blaming all of the naughty toys in our home on me? Yes, I'm fine with whatever works.

A day or so after that, Neva met up with me at one of our club events at Cherry Street. We danced and had a great time. She told me that she participates in some sort of role play which involves her dressing in period clothes, which she enjoys immensely. I must say, she looks good in them too.

Brox and Esme's Wedding

Esme, Brox with Kaboom

My nephew Broxton and his new queen Esme finally got married last week on the beach at Styll. It was a wonderful, formal demon wedding. I was asked to be the best man and graciously accepted. Darren also stood with Brox along with his brother Usher. Esme had her brides maids there too. My brother Kaboom officiated the ceremony and all went off with nary a hitch (which surprised me as there seemed to be hardly any planning and no rehearsal whatsoever).

The Wedding Party

I love SL weddings because it's a time for a bunch of friends to get together and celebrate relationships. I have friends to are appalled by the mere thought of a virtual wedding and others who embrace them. In SL, you can choose to partner with someone. When you partner with someone, their profile shows up in yours. Most couples who wed in SL have their virtual spouse in their profile. But you can partner with someone without the need for a wedding ceremony. The wedding ceremonies are just the icing in the cake.

Brox and Esme's vows

So Brox and Esme have this wedding planned for 5pm. My wife/sub/partner cat was able to attend which was a very pleasant surprise as the ceremony took place at an odd time of weekday for everyone. My ex wife/partner Ambriel happened to logon as we were getting ready for the ceremony so I invited her to witness. I had pews laid out for 2 dozen people, but nowhere near that amount showed up. I truly wish I could remember all the names of everyone who did attend but I'm terrible with names. That and the fact that your avatar can have a name and also a 2nd name with fonts that are nearly unreadable make keeping track of names nearly futile. But there were a good amount of people there and everyone seemed to have a good time.

Demon Reception

About an hour after the wedding we held a reception party at the new underwater ballroom. I demonstrated to Kaboom and Princess how my swimming shark will devour them if they are not careful. Princess ended up having almost too much fun with that shark in the end, but that's what it's there for. People started showing up one or two at a time over the next hour or so and I took over the stream and played the music that Brox and Esme had requested. It was a mix of country, techno, hip-hop, heavy metal and industrial/trance. Not exactly to everyone's liking but what the hell? It was Brox and Esme's special day.

cat had to leave after the wedding but made it back half way through the reception. She's the best! That really made the rest of the reception enjoyable. Princess was very funny though playing with her pet slave. She has her way of doing things and if he wasn't able to figure that out, she was more than eager to teach him the right way. Brox and Esme pretty much kept to themselves. I was able to toast them over the music stream which felt right. Typing in chat is one thing but being able to convey my congratulations to them via spoken word was special.

So I kept the party going for as long as I could but I eventually grew sleepy as it was quite late in my time zone and had to shut down and logoff. A couple of couples lingered but I don't know for how long. I was resting after the long day of ceremony and celebration. If you ever get a chance to attend an SL wedding ceremony, do it. They are almost never boring and many are filled with lots of great humor. If you ever attend a demon wedding, be ready for anything! You never know what's going to happen at one of those. Hopefully there will be one coming up in the near future.

Friends, Family and Clan?

Clan Meeting by the fire

In Second Life, (SL) every avatar you meet (with very few exceptions) is a real person at a keyboard or microphone. Needless to say, real friendships and relationships form as  you spend more time online. Many new people want to belong to a group or family. There are some advantages to belonging to a group. First of all, you have people to hang out with who usually have similar interests. Some people feel more secure when they are members of a larger family. They feel more like they belong. It's also a great way to make a lot of new friends quickly.

Mostly Demons in the family

Some groups or families are formed around the notion of a clan. These clans are often made up of vampires or werewolves (remember, you can be anything you want in SL), or even furry people. In any case, these clans have several purposes but one of the main ones is growth. Clans want to add more members, the more the merrier. So it's no surprise that lately I've been asked to join a couple of different clans. For various reasons, I joined the one that my woman cat belongs to. It's my 'nephew' Broxton's vampire clan. So he had a meeting for his clan the other day. These clan meetings are a great way to meet others in the group/family/clan. We talked about drama within the group and how to deal with it. We discussed growing the family too, which is a guaranteed topic at any clan meeting.

I'm not at all new to SL so I sort of have my own family or clan if you will in my group of friends. So belonging to a clan, while flattering, it is not all that necessary for me personally. But if you are new to SL or find that it's time to change things up in your virtual life or even if you just want to get to make a whole bunch of new friends, the clan or family is the way to go.

Party Nights

Dancing on the beach

It's about time cat and I got out and had some fun. With Emi, Clancy, Gefter, kasie, Zefer and many more, we were able to go out partying and actually have some fun instead of work for a change. Due to a new feature at Cherry Street Nightclub, I will likely be reopening it very soon, so these Party Nights might be some of the last ones cat and I get a chance to do for a long time to come.

Clairede Live

It's always special going out to listen to Clairede Dirval's live performances. It's been way too long since I've been able to attend one of her one hour shows. So when the opportunity presented itself, cat and I jumped on it. We danced and listened to Clairede sing and play guitar. All of her songs were new to me because it has been so long since I've attended one of her performances. It was a wonderful night and so good to see Clairede again. She played at a nude beach so most of the audience were able to shed their pesky clothes and dance naked.


I threw a party at my nude beach a couple of nights later. For the first half of it, nobody showed up but later on when Emi and cat logged on, Clancy showed up and we had a nice small party. Met a couple of new guys too. Bruce and Oluthus (Olu). Olu is a DJ and I think he's going to hold events at Cherry Street. So there's one more reason to reopen the club. They belong to a vampire clan which has a club that holds regular events, Thursday through Sunday. Fun bunch of people! The event I went to there was Sleepwear on Friday night. Well in the end, nobody was wearing anything and my tasty pet won with the most votes! Great time had by all.

Zef and kasie's 5th anniversary celebration

But the night started out with kasie and Zefer's 5th anniversary. Yes, she has worn his collar for 5 years. That's a very long time and it certainly looks as though another 5 years together are not out of the question. kasie had decorated and setup Zefer's beach for the party. She hired him a "fuck toy" who jumped out of a giant cake. Gefter was there along with my pet and a very good DJ. We danced and listened to some great music. kasie did a wonderful job setting up the place.

Mirri setting up the runway

The Runway

Earlier in the week, cat told me about a friend of hers having a new dancer/escort system for his club. We went and checked it out and it was very unique for SL. It's a runway, not a stage and it does not use poles for the dancers. Instead it makes use of zones and each of those zones interact seamlessly with patron's chairs on either side of the runway. Also, up to 2 of the dancers can interact with the patron at the same time! This is very unique and sure to make it much easier for my girls to make tips during events. For that reason and because I'm missing my friends, I'm reopening the Cherry Street Nightclub. This runway will be a major attraction. It is so unique that the creator (Mirri) had to come and set it up herself. Once setup, the runway cannot be moved without her assistance, but it's in a great location now and I see no need to move it for some time to come. The animations in it are very erotic and unique. This is one of only 4 other runways that I'm aware of in SL. The one at Cherry Street, the one at cat's friends club, one other that Mirri mentioned and the one she has at her shop as a demo. That's it! So if you want to experience something very unique in SL, you should come on down to Cherry Street Nightclub and check this out. secondlife://Styll/58/176/24

So later the next day, cat put on a wonderful show for me on the new runway. I cannot wait until people get a chance to try this thing out.
