The Return

Overwhelming loss
Grief surrounds and drowns until
Time claims the silent

Palin, Naughty or Not? Results are in.... NOT!

Let's face it, the American culture and structure of our society is very unstable right now. We've been on a steady decline for some time. The Republicans and Democrats are to blame, they are both there, both are looking at the bills, the reports, and seeing the responses of the American people.

There is no quick fix to our situation, but the time for band-aids is over. Our government needs an intense and critical overhaul. Many in America pay more attention to the Operations of Fortune 500 companies than they do our government. Why is that? When did the American people become so disengaged? Or did they just stop listening to us?

Governments and the backbone of "law and order" within any society must also change and adapt. What we've seen is the gap between our changing society and the unchanging of our government. There is a big disconnect and it's not going to be easy to fix.

Both sides have some positives and some negatives, obviously. I'm a democrat and I'm an Obama/Biden supporter. They give me hope. They give me a sense of security. They give me the feeling that they might be able to begin to bridge that gap. With that said, I'm a realist; I know he won't be able to fix everything in a single term (if ever, really). But, what I am hopeful for is some progressive growth in the right direction.

Our nation has been shamed. We have lost our position of power. We have lost the respect of our brother and sister nations. We are a people torn by misalignment on major issues and petty bickering on the minor ones.

As a woman, I am ashamed of Palin. If I attending a corporate meeting, do you know what would happen if I just plastered a smile on my face, winked at my co-workers and rambled on about topics that were not on the agenda? Well, I’d probably not be invited back to meetings on that topic and I may find an HR rep standing near me mentioning what is and isn’t appropriate behavior in the work place. Then when performance review came around, being prepared, engaged, knowledgeable and being a contributing member to company productivity would probably receive low scores – because I did not exhibit any of those necessary traits.

Stop and think about that for a moment. If that was your supervisor talking to you in a team meeting, who just winked at you and smiled and ignored your questions – would you trust her? Would you be a satisfied and motivated employee?

This is no pageant with a tiara, this is a highly important role within our culture and society. An individual to represent us. To guide us. To help shape the future of our nation. A person to stand in and keep us strong should our President die or become incapacitated. Do you think she’s capable?

Is her behavior what we want in a representative not only as a government official in international affairs, but to represent our country as the first female Vice President?

Is that really how we want other nations to view the female population of the United States? That we are airheads that are pretty to look at but lack the ability for critical thought and eloquent execution of communication? That we can’t think on our own? That we can’t quickly think of the New York Times (or Time, or Newsweek, or shoot… how about CNN????) as a worthy newsource? That we can’t think of a single Supreme Court case to offer debate on rulings?

Women of our nation have come far in the world. This is not the time to take steps backward.

I will be at the polls on election day supporting Obama and Biden. They have my respect. I do have a sense of hope with them. That is what we need. We need hope. We need to feel engaged with our government. What we need to do as a nation is fight for our government. If you support McCain/Palin, that is your right and I respect your choices. But I urge everyone, no matter their side to stand up and vote. Now more than ever the American people need to show the government how serious we are.

When the Real Life side of the scale tips...

For those of us who like to refer to themselves as Gamers, there tends to come a time when the level of gaming addiction or obsession reaches a burn out pinnacle. For some the lure of VW’s and fantasy pulls away from real life.

Some gamers are fortunate to keep RL and Gaming Life separate. For 10 years I was fortunate to have a very nice balance between my real life time and my “fun” time. For the last year and a half, I’ve been completely addicted to Second Life.

The stimulation, creativity, social aspects, so much of it met so many of my needs. Unfortunately, my balance slipped and I crossed the line from RL to SL. I spent every free moment in SL. I grew attached to people. Those people started meaning more to me than the people from my RL.

So, the time has come for a forced break from Second Life. It’s been two weeks now and I’ve been able to resist the temptation of logging in. I miss my friends, more than anything else. I admit to definitely missing the shopping as well.

It's difficult to think that I'll not ever come back. I suppose I will just have to wait and see what life has in store for me.

My thoughts are with you

For all of people in Texas and the surrounding states that are impacted by Ike.

Yes, Somebody Is Home...

I was surfing through new members on the Second Life Bloggers social group on ning. I like to do that as it's a great way to find interesting blogs and I also think it's a nice way to welcome people to the network. Nothing like link love :)

I saw the new member, Arabesque Baroque and hopped over to her fashion blog and saw a link to her new blog that will list her Second Life adventures. I read her post, Is Anybody Home?

And it made me think back over the past of my Second Life. Yes, I'm a reinvented Second Lifer, like a few others. I remember my first month in Second Life and finding a "job" as a dancer in a club... as soon as I had a job, what did I do? I ran out and rented an apartment! And then went shopping! I partnered with a fellow and together we went through three homes. One was an oriental themed, one was a beach/safari theme, and our last home together was a giant ass castle.

I enjoyed decorating all of them. Naturally, I needed different furnishings and decor for each style of home we had. One thing though, and this is what I think Arabesque is alluding to, or perhaps I'm just off on my own tangent... is that it is lonely in a home on a sim when no one else is home. What do you do in an empty SL home if you aren't a builder or designer?

Does it feel a need of social togetherness to have a home but never be there or with "neighbors"? Is there a sense of community in owning a home?

For me, that sense of community is extremely important. If I wanted to be lonely, I'd sit on my couch and watch People's Court. Friends make Second Life exciting and fun, at least for me. I'm very social, very friendly, and I love to help people.

I met Rafe nearly hours after I came into SL as this version of myself. He had the Voice Sex group and tended to hang out with most of his friends at Devotion club. When we learned that Devotion might be on its way out of SL, we looked around for another spot to have our gang hang out in. Our friend, Anais, gratiously let us use some of her land to build a hang out club.

Because I was a reinvention, I had some funds and assets in SL that I just wanted to reuse and get some new land and maybe build a social area or shopping area. Rafe and I teamed up and worked together to build Incubus. It started as a small idea and turned into us owning 3/4 of an Open Sim and building shopping areas and a social hang out area.

For us, this is one facet of our community and our Second Life. It's important to us to socialize and be with our friends. First, we are both very sexual and open with that sexuality. Being sluts is such fun. Arousing people, building desire, sharing the passion.... we are totally into it.

Beyond that, with our friends, we want to know how they are. We want to know what's troubling them. We want to see what interests them. We will sometimes go shopping as a group 4, 5, or 6 of us... sometimes we'll all work on a project, each of us bringing a skill or idea to the table. Sometimes we just sit and talk about tiny empires and lament on yet another missed festival.

So, to end my long and probably boring, rambling... My home is where my friends are. Whether it's at Incubus, or Bound & Determined, or Fishing, or Shopping...

Hump Day! Hail Mighty Phallic Symbol

Ha, Ha, Ha. I made you look!

The other day a few of us were starting a new building project on Incubus and Cyphien Heart stopped by. He recently acquired my friend, Starr, and he is quite the catch. If you don't know him, he's one of the owners and designers of the Simboarding Arena and Lounge. They have weekly competitions over the weekend and those are broadcast on SLCN.TV. (Yes, that’s a shameless plug for him, go check him out.)

He’s a fabulous designer and I was mumbling, ok, complaining a little about the sculptie columns I had and how they weren’t very good and that I wanted a square one, not a round one. Cyphien came to the rescue and quickly made me a fabulous square sculptie pillar and even textured it for me.

He also made a cute little tshirt with the Incubus logo on it and the phrase, “I fucked Cherith” on the back. We plan on giving it to everyone who plays with her in voice. There are already quite a few we’ll have to send it off to. For those of you who don’t know, she’s our sub that we let any of the group members use.

Anyway, I can’t wait to use my new pillar.

New Friends are Always Fun!

We are a very social crowd, those of us who hang out at Incubus, and we always have room for more friends. I tease that Rafe and I are people collectors. We go out, find new and interesting people, and then just kind of bring them into our SL family. A few days ago, Rafe met a lovely lady named Ayana. She's delightful and over the past two days we've spent some fun times with her.

Although, Rafe and I did have some naughty time together where we went hopping between a couple of free newbie sex areas. It's always fun to be loud in voice in a crowd of newbies... just excites me so. I did find a few new friends along that little trip as well, *winks*. I have a list of "pick up" lines to say to men who voice in such places. Cherith has a list as well, we are always happy to test them out on people. I'll have to list a few of them, I suppose. Now that I've gotten completely off topic thinking about our naughty escapades, let me get back on track.

We also love to go shopping together, the bigger the crowd of us, the funner it is. Anyway, Ayana had longer hair and less black and white clothing... but after only a day or two, she's been through what Cherith and I call.... the Rafe makeover... :) She is not one of the voice sexers, but she is one of our family now. We totally went shopping at Twisted Rose and a few other spots!

Monday Distractions

I usually don't like Mondays, but today I woke up at 5:00am, yes, an ungodly hour, I know. But it was all in the name of employee morale, so I strolled in and have spent most of the day goofing off with fun activities for coworkers. I decided to take a break (yeah, it's hard work playing with diet coke and mentos all day) and surf some blogs of SL Bloggers.

After seeing some "plurks" on those blogs and reading a post by someone that I forgot to take note of... Anyway, I decided to check it out too, cause I'm a nut. It does seem a lot like Twitter and I don't really get the point of Twitter. Anyway, I'm sure I'll play with it for a day or two and then completely forget about it. That's how I roll.

Then I was back on SL Bloggers and checking out the new members and flipped over to Newdoll Nikolaidis' Flickr stream and got distracted by one of those lovely blog gizmos. So I just had to do it. Let's see, this is the tarot card it says I am. I'm sure it's a highly technical and refined system and can trust it completely.

You are The Empress

Beauty, happiness, pleasure, success, luxury, dissipation.

The Empress is associated with Venus, the feminine planet, so it represents,
beauty, charm, pleasure, luxury, and delight. You may be good at home
decorating, art or anything to do with making things beautiful.

The Empress is a creator, be it creation of life, of romance, of art or business. While the Magician is the primal spark, the idea made real, and the High Priestess is the one who gives the idea a form, the Empress is the womb where it gestates and grows till it is ready to be born. This is why her symbol is Venus, goddess of beautiful things as well as love. Even so, the Empress is more Demeter, goddess of abundance, then sensual Venus. She is the giver of Earthly gifts, yet at the same time, she can, in anger withhold, as Demeter did when her daughter, Persephone, was kidnapped. In fury and grief, she kept the Earth barren till her child was returned to her.

What Tarot Card are You?

When days are very, very good....

Yesterday was just one of those great Second Life days. Spending hours and hours with your friends and having fun. We actually spent a total of probably four hours or so voice fucking. Just one after another, periodically having a break and then going back for more. *sighs* Always nice when you can do that.... so the entire day was spent hanging out, socializing, and getting some naughty in. I'd go into detail, but no one reads this blog yet.... and I'm feeling particularly lazy today!

Then we decided we needed to take some pictures! Here are a couple from last evening with some of our friends!

Meet Puddles, my little puppy

My friend, Sexi, has the cutest little kitty on her shoulder that will jump out and scratch anyone who touches it. It's so cute. Anyway, we went over to XD Fusion and I simply had to get myself a little friendly puppy.

I have named him, Puddles. Isn't he cute? He's absolutely adorable. His sister, Pebbles, lays around in a box all day. If you click on Puddles he'll jump off, run over to you, and hump your leg!

He's such a good puppy.

Gothic Doll

I saw a post on Juicybomb about some inexpensive fun skins at Domestic -V and as a compulsive shopper... I just had to take a peek. Well, the doll skins are now at 80% off or $100L. I simply cannot pass by a deal like that. So I decided to do a little shopping!

I'm wearing:

Domestic -V Sloth Doll Skin

A hair I picked up from the Hair Fair

Abyss Boots

Graves Zip Dress

Omega collar and cuffs

Hair Fair Freebie Find #2

This lovely style comes from the Dernier Cri Goodie Box and is the Rachel style. I don't wear long hair very often anymore, but it's a nice find. I like it quite a lot.

I'm wearing my Deviant Kitties skin in this photo: Voodoo Lashes - Sunkiss

Hey, it's porn, it can't be all bad!

I like a nice picture or two just like the next gal (though maybe not as much as some of you porn hound guys). As I was freebie shopping on slexchange... yes, I don't have nearly enough free crap in my inventory and I just can't seem to resist those free items. Anyway, I saw the "pornhud".

Which said:
"Congratulations you are about to recieve the PornHUD. The best device to watch porn in SL. And it is 100% FREE!You will get access to well over 100 high quality SEX pictures and links to the video's of these pictures per catagory!"

You can get it here

Anyway, it's full perms. You wear the little doodad and it pops up a giant picture of a naked girl sucking on something fun. Course, you click it and it takes you too a website. And you definitely don't want to put it on if impressionable young minds happen to wander by your computer.

So, I probably won't be using it. But, it's something I'll probably pass around.

A Hair Fair Goodie!

Who hasn't been to the Hair Fair yet? If not, why not? Slacker. Get over there.

This is the WR: Feist Mega Pack. So that means you get lovely hair spammage of way too many color options when you open it. Yay, hair spam!

It comes with and without the bangs. I wasn't as fond of the style without the bangs, but this is a cute alternative to some of my usual hair styles.

It definitely needs some stretching and movement manipulation. It didn't seem to fit quite right on any of us trying it on, but once you get it in place, tada!

In this photo I'm wearing:

Dress: Last Call: Nadirra (I actually got this BEFORE the $100 sale *sigh*)

Hair: WR: Feist from Hair Fair

Neck: Omega Collar

Arm Bracelet: Vinsalt Silver Bracelet from Passions jewelry. A gift from my darling.

Skin: Bella skin that I bought from *** Axo Plaza - realistic skins~

Earrings: BLD! Onyx/Platinum flexi earring

Deceit in Second Life

Deceit - "The act or practice of deceiving; concealment or distortion of the truth for the purpose of misleading; duplicity; fraud; cheating: Once she exposed their deceit, no one ever trusted them again."

We all know that there are Second Lifers, and really anyone that has access to the internet, that hide behind the anonymity that virtual worlds offer. Sometimes they hide for illegal activities. Sometimes out of fear or shame. Sometimes it's just out of need to harass and incite others.

Regardless, those that seek to deceive us do exist. My partner and I have a voice sex group. It's not open to the public, it's invite only. We have approximately 170 members and we are protective of them. Everyone that gets in the group gets an "in person" screening before they get in and get to have fun with us.

A few weeks ago we decided that we wanted to find a pet or sub for the two of us to play with, as well as provide to the group for additional fun and games. We met a sub who did trigger some red flags, we just got a sense that she wasn't being completely honest with us. We are also voice hence the very clever and subtle title Voice Sexhibitionists), so we do require members and the people that we happen to play with, to have voice. Surprising, I know!

She pretended that she couldn't get it to work, though we heard her television clearly in the background. We shrugged it off, had some text fun with her but didn't really let her in to the group or participate. We wondered if she was a man, which does tend to happen sometimes. She would say she'd want to be ours, but then run away. It was odd so we set her from our minds. Shortly after, a very vulgar and dominant man began contacting me to have voice sex with him. I had some red flags, but since we are in SL for fun, we tend to go along with what people like and enjoy... and those of us in our group do tend to be complete pervs or kinks or nymphos.

Anyway, he did not make the cut and did not get into the group and eventually, I ended up muting him... Now, the purpose of my verbose rambling. Yesterday I was contacted by the girl and she spilled the beans so to speak. The two of them were "action researchers". A professor and a PHD student doing an action research study into the sub groups of Second Life. Looking at virtual relationships and sexuality.

Now, I've been in virtual worlds for over ten years now. I'm an educated, business professional. I've done my fair share of research, as well as participating in social studies on the dynamics of virtual worlds. I'm an advocate for bridging the gap between RL and VW's. I'm also a strong believer in encouraging sexual exploration and sexual awareness. Had they come to me and let me know of their study and intention. I would have gladly shared information and let them see more of our dynamics.

However, I was left feeling deceived. Because they raised red flags, they didn't even get to see the true activities and dynamics, instead they got a show.

Now then, has something like this happened to you? Should we now let them into the fold of the group to observe activities for the benefit of "study"?

What are your thoughts?

About Naughty Or Not.

I happen to be one of those naughty Second Lifers who enjoy the mature and entirely adult features that Second Life offers to me. I'm extremely sexual and enjoy flirting, among other things. Embracing our desires and our passions is something I think we should all do.

I can't spend 24/7 in Second Life, unfortunately, so I thought in my off hours I'd just share my thoughts, opinions, and the things that are happening in my little part of the metaverse. Naturally, I started this on a Tuesday. Tuesday is the day of the week I set aside for real life and to force myself to take a day off from my obsessions and addictions.

I'm backdating a few items as I'm just going to set them up as links in my sidebar, so should you happen to come across this page, it was started on Tuesday, September 2nd and I look forward to titillating your interests with the things I share!

So whether you are naughty or not, it doesn't really matter, because here I come!

Current Events at Incubus

A group of those damned Hellions and Demons decided to enjoy themselves racing around Incubus. Race cars, motorcycles, hover crafts, if it moves, they've been on it. Flying and racing around all day and night. It's enough to cause a gal to go homicidal. They've finally gone, but they've left a mess to clean up. I keep finding these oil cans littered all over the place and none of them are empty! I'll tell you what, You come pick up the litter and you can keep whatever you find inside.

Voice Sexhibitionists: A Second Life Group

Voice Sexhibitionist Group

The VS Group is for mature, consenting adults who enjoy Voice Sex. Either by listening to others perform or by performing themselves. Rafe Clary is the creator of the group. The group is set to invitation only to protect our current members and to ensure that all new members are aware of the rules and expectations for the group.

There are approximately 170 members to this group. Activities can range from impromptu sessions between a man and woman to scheduled events such as contests for members. In the past we have had member auctions, parties, etc. The group is very social. The group is free, performances are free, if you are a member and are charged by another member, let Rafe or Keaira know, asap.

To join the group:

1. Contact Rafe Clary or Keaira Skytower

2. You must show us that you have voice capabilities. You will need your mic or headset enabled so that you can chat with us in voice. We do this for two reasons:
a. Make sure you have voice & know how to use it
b. Confirm your gender matches your avatar or that you communicate with us honestly on your preferences

We have nothing against a man in a woman’s avatar, as long as he does not use a voice changer and is honest and upfront about that. We do not like deceit or dishonesty and misleading members by presenting yourself as something you are not will get you kicked.

4. You agree to abide by our one rule. “Do NOT scroll through the member list and IM members you do not know.” Period. End of Story. This is not an escort group. This is not a spam group. You meet other group members by participating in activities, coming to performances, chatting in group chat, etc. If you want to play, then send a call out to the group or a text to the group. Once you know someone then it is different, but do not contact people you don’t know to solicit them for sex.

5. Perform for the group. Sometime during the first few weeks, you must perform with someone in voice in open voice (not a private call) and someone else from the group should be invited to listen. If none of the group members are available to come and listen, then the participants can go to any public sex place and perform there. We have plenty of men and women who love to help out new members with this requirement.

Home base of the VS group is found at Incubus Castle:
