Dancing in an Alternate Realm

Today I got the Brighter Days dress series up on the wall in the store.



That done, and in need of some activity, I decided to go dancing as my alternate self. I headed to the Dogglounge where they were having a rooftop dance party.



However, not long after being there was I called away by some confused patrons to the store. The patrons were trying to purchase dresses from the store and had not seen the "Coming Soon" sign I had posted. In haste, I posted a "Coming Soon" sign outside the store, right at the entrance in the hopes of dissuading others from attempting to purchase what cannot be purchased yet.



Hu and I decided to go dancing together.











Eventually, I was able to persuade Red to join us at the club. About the same time that Red arrived, so did Kira, so Hu was happy. The four of us danced at the club for quite some time and really enjoyed the music.



Eventually, Red had to head off and we all left the club. I decided to go home and try to work on my dress, but I was realy too tired to concentrate, so i stopped before I ruined anything.



I went to bed and just stared at the ceiling for a while. I hadn't been productive, but I had had fun. Perhaps I had been trying to distract myself from other things all day. As I lay there, I was suddenly feeling somewhat empty and I couldn't shake it. Maybe tomorrow will be better.

An Alternate Me

The beauty of SL: being whomever you want.

Danced

Daphne: Warrior Princess

What a day! I installed the Garden Party series vendor cards into the store this afternoon.



Then I invited Dilbert over to see what I had completed of the store so far. I don't think he'd been to Caledon before. I invited him over to my house and he played my piano for me for a bit. He was also very interested in my books and while he read, I did a little meditation.





Eventually Dilbert had to go. I was sorry to see him leave since I don't see him often, but so it was.

As it turned out, just as Dilbert was leaving, Red invited me to Gypsy Moon for a battle - us against the "rodents of unusual size". At first, we took a few minutes to prepare ourselves for the battle ahead. Red briefed me on the best way to use my weapon, which I aquired through a chest of weapons near the entrance.



We scoped out the opponents. There was pleanty of warning as to the viciousness of the beasts, but we were not afraid.



We drew our weapons and charged in.



We drew the attention of only one, and together, we managed to overcome the first beasts, though we were both badly injured.



More followed and we fought valiantly.



Unfortunately, I was not as strong as I had anticipated and was unlucky enough to be injured to the point of only being able to lie upon the ground.



Red continued to fight the beasts, but more closed in and camped around me, injuring me futher. All I could do was lie there helplessly.



But Red, in true heroic fashion, came to my rescue and fought off the beasts. He amazed me with his stregth and agility. I was quite in awe. The beasts eventually perished or ran from Red and he was able to come close enough to see that I would be alright.



I was soon able to rise to my feet as my strength returned and Red helped me to a beautiful room filled with color and light where I could rest.



It was one of the most beautifully colored rooms I had ever seen and I was quite in awe. I was sad that Red and I could not stay longer in the colorful room, but he was very tired. He had, after all, fought far more beasts that I had and I could understand his fatigue. We said our goodnights and we went separately home to go to bed.

I hope that the next time Red and I go back, we will do better against the beasts. I am sure we will persevere.

Garden Party

I finished the vendor cards for the Garden Party dress series tonight. Behold the glory:

What a full day!

My day started out with Hu. We were just sort of hangingout and working together.



Eventually, Kira came online, right about the time I was going to scoot off to the SLRFL auction in Caledon Victoria City. Miss Figaro of Radio Riel was spinning some great tunes and we all danced and bid. At 4:00 the bidding was over and I believe Miss Ellison raised a substantial sum for RFL. I won two auctions: a bedroom furniture set and a photography session with Miss A. Barrymore. I need to set up a time for the session with her. I am very excited about it. The photos are of us lined up to pay Miss Ellison for our items.





Once the auction event was over, I did a personal fashion show for Miss Meng and Miss Tammas, which I forgot to take a photo of. They noticed I am close to opening the store and wanted a preview, so I did a little personal fashion show for them.

I then went back to my store to do a little more work, which I regret that I was so involved in that I forgot to photograph that as well. I took most of the windows out of the store to gain wall space and started puttingup the vendor cards. Although the cards are not yet active, it gives passersby the opportunity to preview the collection thus far.

When I have a better ETA of the store opening, I may contact Miss Riel to set up an event for the Grand Opening - perhaps some music and dancing on my parcel?

While I was working away, Miss Tammas asked me if I would be coming to the rave in Wyre where Miss Figaro was DJing. I hadn't planned on it, but with her invitation, how could I refuse? I had a great time dancing. I spoke with Miss Tammas more and had the opportunity to talk with Miss Pennyfeather and Mr. D Writer. I was delighted with both of them and hope to talk to them more frequently in the future.









During the rave, I had the opportunity to talk to Red for a bit. He invited me to an Elven land where they had a drum circle, so I left the rave to see what the Elven land was all about. Well, it turned out that we were the only ones there, but we made fabulous music for just two of us!



We toured the area and Red found a piano that I was delighted with. We didn't stay there long as there was so much to see! The place was very large and there were new things to be discovered everywhere!



I found a faerie-drawn carriage and we took a ride.



I wandered away from Red and found a swing merry-go-round and took a few turns on it.



Eventually, Red caught up with me and told me he had to head to bed. We said our goodbyes and I headed off to join Hu and Kira in Neutralia again, ending up where I started for the day. This time, however, Hu was in "original Hu" form! Kira declared how much she loved "old Hu" and he gave her a big hug - though I am sure he may have had other ideas in mind for why he hugged her...



So we started goofing off a bit and we managed to make a stack of ourselves! I am so strong! Just look how I can support Hu and Kira without lifting a finger!



And the stack turned into a stack-dance. With the right angle of my camera, I got a really neat perspective shot!



But it was so late and I was tired, so I said my goodbyes to Hu and Kira and went to bed. What a full day!
