A dancing job experience

Sorry for the long break. I don't know what to blog about or was too lazy to blog. Today, I visit this club which offers camping of 3L / 10 minutes (but that is only limited to five people at one time) and tips for ladies who use the poles in the club to dance. Since I couldn't camp (the camp limit is met), I decide to dance.

campingwithtips

To start off, I was tipped by the owner. After that, I decided to pretend that I am a real dancer and chat with one man in the club. And for that, I got tipped too! To utilize this opportunity, I change outfits every now and then. I wore lingerie which is something that I don't wear often because there isn't an appropriate situation to wear it.

How do I feel about my greenhorn dancing experience? Well, it is fun but to do as a job is another matter. I can dress naughtily but to sound naughty seems a hard thing to do.

Free Greenie Stuff

I went to Greenie Sim cos I thought I could still get the free Christmas Greenie Avatars in normal and tiny sizes. As expected, that didn't happen as I was too late.

However, I manage to find 2 lucky chairs. The prizes are pirate boy avatar and female pirate avatar. As I already have the pirate boy avatar (got it during a treasure hunt when Greenie Sim first opened), I hope to get the female pirate avatar so that I can be a female greenie.

Pirate Boy (his sword and fencing animation are not shown)

See the brown gun in the picture? It is the free bubble emoter. The emoter allows one to send preset bubble messages to persons nearby. The message can be translated to many languages. After using it, I feel that the tool is kinda like instant messaging except a little different. I wish that the tool could allow me to send customised messages.

TP here to get the goodies or attend the Advent hunt from December 1st to December 24th

Read http://rezzable.com/blog for news about rezzable sims which include crimson shadow and greenies

The Snow Test

I don't have snow in my country but if I have....


Your Snow Test Says You're Agreeable



You feel like something good will happen to you in the next few weeks.



You love to work, especially when work is creative. You have the makings of a successful artist.



You are a cooperative, agreeable person. You enjoy the company of others, and you enjoy compromising for the good of the group.



Your biggest worry in life is your family. You stay up at night thinking about them.



When it comes time to relax, you really indulge. You are all about your favorite comforts.

Reading new blogs, Learning new things

For the next four days, I will try to comment on new blogs and blogs that I have never comment despite reading them before. A new blog that I have found was this:

My Second Life’s Noobie Misconseptions

You know when you are talking to a Noob when .. (Funny SL Moments)

Both links are from http://rehula.wordpress.com/. Both posts are funny but I find the second link most funniest.

The author in the blog is a designer who owns a Cyber Goth gear Store in Second Life. I like her stuff shown in her blog and I think I should go stalk her store's lucky chair.

RainyTown at Creamshop

I have always want to visit Rainy Town cos I have never seen rain in SL. When my friend and I got there, there was a sign saying that we should set our environment setting to night for best results. I did that and took some pictures.

Good rabbit, take us to Rainy Town.

Good Rabbit: We are reaching, madams.

I took photos in other environment settings too.

Free items shown:

Pose - *Luth* Melancholy 13, Reel Expression Sub-O-Matic Group Gift (may or may not be available) (0L)

Shoes with skates - Aphrodite Friends and Fashion Group Gift (0L)
*WR* Lighting Freebie (1L)

Camping and Lucky Chairs at *Cartoon Kids*

I went to *Cartoon Kids* just now. The place now looks like a playground. Kids can just hang out and chit chat. The owner, whom I feel is very generous person, has set a camping site for kids to camp. The camp rate is 3L per 10 minutes. Camp rates tend to change but as of just now, it is this rate. Only KIDS can camp at the store. This is expected because many of normal camping areas are not suitable for kids.

I won two AOs, a girl AO and a boy AO on *Cartoon Kids* lucky chairs. The poses in the AOs are pretty good. The downside of the AO is that the poses in the AO ran continuously, meaning after one pose is performed, the next pose is triggered. In addition, the AO does not have Zhao AO functions like “Next Stand”, “Random/Sequential” etc. that one expects to find in an AO. The AO only gives one the option to turn on and off the AO.

Nevertheless, I like the AOs and you are going to see me wearing them quite often (yes, I wear the boy AO as well, haha).
Other items to be worn in the lucky chairs include skates and a winter outfit which look nice from the picture shown in the lucky chair.

Freebies and Dollarbies for Kids and Others

Last week, I decide to try making a kids av for myself. I already have some information on how to do it. So my task was just to do it.

Bear Av (L$0) from KUMAMOTO JAPAN
On Kid:
Korean Doll from LittleGirl Peace on Earth Hunt Gift (0L)
Hair from +YUZUKAMIYA+ (0L)
Outfit (include binky and shoes), Shape and AO (pose used in photo is from AO) from Free*Style HQ (1L per outfit and 1L for shape and AO)
Skin from My Girl! (0L)
Eyes from Sin Skins (not free)

There are other bear avs available other than the christmas version. Very cute! A shopper at Snatch validates the cuteness!

The korean doll is cute too. I know people have complained that they couldnt get the rabbit doll, which was the previous LittleGirl Peace on Earth Hunt Gift. However, this one is cute and good too. Thanks to this gift, I finally found a korean designer to adore.

The free hair is available in black and brown. There are also other free hairs, lucky chairs and affordable hair available at the store.

There are 2 other outfits there. Fab!

The photo can look a lot better if I edit it. But I am lazy and dont know anything about photo editing. :)

Bear Av (L$0) from KUMAMOTO JAPAN

My first male pet dog from *Cartoon Kids* Lucky Santa Chair (0L)

Lots of freebies, group gifts and lucky chairs at *Cartoon Kids*. This is also a place for kids to play. Have fun!

EDIT: The dog could follow you or stay. If it is lost, it can send you its coordinates. If you log out of SL without taking it back to the inventory, the dog will disappear. But don't worry, the dog is copyable so you still have the dog in your folder.

Strange Avatars (but I love them!)

A wierd way of camping






























It is not really camping. We are waiting for the raffle ball to reward us with cash. However, the pose ball that I sit on is called "camping".

I want to blog more often because I really have something interesting to write about. We shall see.

P.S. The girl in the white outfit is really pretty!

redqueenfreehair_001
The hair looks weird but I like it. See me smiling! To get the hair, type "red queen" in Search- Groups. The first one is the group to join. The hair is found in the notice archives, along with another gift hair.

I like the skin I am wearing a lot! It is from *Bebae*. You can join the group to get the skin or visit its store to get it.
