skye galaxy in second life

skye galaxy in second life, originally uploaded by rafeejewell.

It is rare that I can even get into the sim where Skye Galaxy is performing. Equally, rare is that fact that I usually can not even see this performer as my rezz is usually so slow for him... why? Because there are usually over 40+ avis at the sim to hear him.





So when Cole sent the tp, I even said... "I'll never see him 'cause everything will be gray..." Blah...



Lo and behold, the SL gods were nice tonight, because there he was at his piano playing his music as if nothing was hampering the rezz. I could see Skye Galaxy!



I settled in to just be enveloped by the notes and his mournful voice. Soaring above the crowd, I am floating on his sounds... enjoying his musicianship... oh yah, last I heard... Cole crashed taking a pic. LOL! (told ya so, grrrrl)

We all have them right? Just so happens my BFF is a shop-o-holic just like I am.. only she is worse. Thoughts of shopping keep her awake at night. I never have that problem. *blinks* Anywho!

It's Monday and the week looks like too much work. Hmmmm... let's stop off to hear dj Frederick Heberle spin at Drain Club. Fred was spinning a great electro set.









I saw Coggy Nikolaidis and Talim Lilliehook hanging out at their club. A nice way to start a Monday with chill tunes and a kick back hour of Fred's tunes. Woot!

Well, I gave an art seminar today so I dressed the part... at least I think so. The easel is from RC Cluster and is far too cute.. at least on my back deck it is!! If you've never been to RC Cluster you simply have to visit. Miss Redd Columbia is one funny lady! And I do mean that in the very best way possible!

MOM promotions

MOM promotions, originally uploaded by rafeejewell.

A whimsical shopping experience for dance animations accompanys live music at Ministry of Motion on a regular basis. Tonight, we caught Raspbury Rearwin with his guitar.






Nomash Syaka is the creative mind behind this whimsy and madness. Flying noobs, pink elephants and bananas float through the sky.



Avis trying out the dance animations through 100's of dance pads and walking on the beautiful water, this place is a total fantasy shopping experience.



Live musicians are here daily from Max Kleene to Noma Falta. All kinds of promotions to win you over include free dancing, free lindens and more.

This is shopping at its best! Go play and listen! Woot!

bonaire12 river gorge in second life

bonaire12 river gorge in second life, originally uploaded by rafeejewell.

We went exploring last night and found a stellar sim called Bonaire12. There is a small club called La Habana Beach Club with salsa music and dance poses.






The tropical sea was breath taking! A deep blue green with almost a teal glow just drew me in as we made the salsa moves on their dance floor.






The dance floor was placed over an aquarium of sea creatures. And the music was divine.






The builder Miqo Kanto gave us a private tour of the entire sim. He showed us several "rides" including a submarine exploration, a zip line and many places of hidden delights.






I totally fell in love with the river gorge. It was absolutely stunning. I just stood there staring at the water for a very long time... totally inspiring.



Miqo is a wonderful builder with a passion for the grid that I haven't seen in a long time. His focus is not retail or commercial. He merely wants to share his vision with the rest of the grid. Truly a top notch avi who is contributing a beautiful experience to the grid.

Miqo has several youtube offerings:

Oh the jeans! I am completely addicted to these jeans for three simple reasons.

Reason one: The textures are absolutely fabulous!

Reason two: They don't show my butt in any shape or fashion. Despite what folks might tell you, crack is not sexy or appealing in any way!

Reason three: Oh my goodness! Someone made jeans without rips or tears in them!



P.S. The store behind me is called What Next and has some very cute, quality furnishings that are low prim and best of all low cost!

Battle of the Sexes

April 28, 2010 ~~ 6pm slt

He mocked her for being a female dj. Taunting her during her set... saying,
'Woman can't possibly be as good a dj as a man!"

Was he flirting? Was he just intimidated by her mixes & powerful material. No one knows, except that he crossed the line & touched a raw nerve... setting off a fire storm in the virtual world's music scene.

Now, the Diva herself, DJane Jasminx Saenz settles this score... calling out to chauvinist DJ Trebor Renfew... you've been served! And with that...

Let the Battle of the Sexes begin!
