New Fave Store - Griddie!!!
Ok, the actual name is - and you will need this if you ever plan to look it up - Gridhiker's Gesamtkunstwerk. Actually it's like a new "everything art store" which is, not ironically, what "Gesamtkunstwerk" means. Sorta.

Why yes, I AM naked! Thank you!
So a couple weeks ago I mentioned in my notices that I would be performing naked at the Lamb, largely to see if anyone was reading them. A few new people came - but that is not what this post is about. This post is about why I was 40 minutes late onto the stage. Because you know, that of all nights, something bizarre was bound to happen...
It started with the Dr's appointment I had that morning. Since the performance wasn't until 8pm my time I wasn't concerned. I have made it home in ample time for performances before. Just not this time. In fact, everything that could go wrong went wrong, until I ended up walking into the house at 7.30pm. On a good note, I was well rehearsed as I keep a warm up and rehearsal CD in my car. Even so, I seriously considered moving the performance an hour later, however due to the naked tag I couldn't. Instead, I moved my dressing room onstage and attempted to speed-sync.
Of course, this would be the night there was an issue with that, and by the time I addressed the syncing issue it was 15 minutes past my performance time. I attempted to chat with peeps to keep them there.
One of the reasons I was late is that the local post office lost my new headphones. I had to drive across town, twice, to track them down in person, as no one wanted to take responsibility. As mentioned previously, the headphones I was using gave me tiny electric shocks until they finally short-circuited otherwise I would have just used them again. The new ones were supposedly designed for my purpose and reputed to work great. At 30 min I finally got them to work, and all seemed well.
I realized that I wasn't naked. In fact I had forgotten all about that, so I attempted to speed-find the outfit I wanted in my inventory - 'cuz I sure as hell wasn't going to be actually naked. No way. With all the agility of an ambling moose, I found the full body snow tattoo I got during my winter hunts. I also found a snow bikini bottom and two oversized snow pasties. I was ready!
No I wasn't. I forgot to load the stream. NOW I was ready! At 40 minutes after the hour. At this point I was bluntly begging people to stay.
The only way to address this kind of situation is to stride out of the dressing room mic in hand, singing. Looking confident. I think I managed, too - until I realized that I couldn't hear a damn thing. My music was up, but I could barely hear a note of it. It was the lovely new headphones that caused all these problems in the first place! I was almost completely deaf! After totally butchering the first song, I juggled the set onto one that I have memorized and could hopefully perform without the benefit of musical cues, and I think I did okay. I honestly have no way of knowing as I forgot to record it in all the discombobulation. The rest of the set I did that way, with oldies but goodies, shining in my metallic shoes and snow bikini.
I wouldn't call it a success, but I would say it was definitely a learning experience. I will not be doing the naked thing again though. It just isn't my style. Since I am blaming this entire debacle on nervousness due to a pixellated representation of myself appearing in less than the accustomed amount of clothing, I will assume it's not anyone else's either!
Good grief.

Always Strike While The Iron's Hot
My inspirational buddies at L3ash recently opened a new truly unique and well-designed main store! I mean that - it was airy, open and easy to navigate while having fantastic designer touches. I was truly impressed - though let's be honest, not surprised.
It's closing now. They have moved to xstreet. Though probably a sound fiscal decision, it's really sad that the down economy has to be exacerbated in SL by the over-abundance of hunts. Now, as we all know I am an avid hunter. I love the hunt - especially the Twisted Hunt - far and away the tippy top of the line in SL hunting - but even I know it's gotten a little ridiculous. Personally, if there is a way to spend $, even $L, I will find it - yet many stores have taken themselves completely out of the game by either giving away complete shit or giving away everything I would ever want from them. This hurts everybody, not just those stores!
Who is the SL President? We need economic reform! In the meantime, SHOP L3ASH!!!

The Coolest Jacket!
I just bought this amazing jacket:
It looks even better on, if that's possible. Of course I got the hair thing too. Do ya notice how the name fits perfectly? It's from the lovely Airedine at Adore & Abhor who managed to get me onto Plurk last night as well. She is quite the creative one. If I didn't already sing torch songs, this would make me start.
I'm sure there is more to come here....

[L3ASH] - I love this place!
I have discovered another amazing store - l3ash - owned and run by the lovely and talented Katie Mongrain and Ellie Gilmour that fit together like yin and yang. They are quick witted and quick to laugh - two of my favorite qualities! Oh - did I mention the store rocks? It is such a relief not to see the same old stripper corsets or boring jeans priced for robbery. These ladies have a flair for sassy style and they are keeping the prices far, far away from the ridiculous.
As if that wasn't enough - they do custom work too! I'm in LOVE! Hey - I bet they won't refuse to fit an item to my "plus" sized shape like some other people (*cough Vanity Glitter) at other stores (*cough Sweet Dreams).
Their motto says it all: "A place where normal just isn't good enough."
Check out their BRAND NEW store in world at L3ash.
...and their blog at http://l3ash.com/ or in my links to the right.
Oh - and can somebody tell me how to pull up profiles in a post here?
