Well it has been about 10 days since I last posted. Certainly these days have been eventful.

I've finally settled in to my island home. Well, I am constantly changing furniture and art but mostly satisfied with the outcome. Have to admit I enjoy the peace and quiet of the island....it is so beautiful to see sunset over the water and midnight looking out over my balcony to the lagoon is so romantic. It was a worthwhile investment...just for the scenery alone. Many times I just leave SL up all day on my computer while I work listening to my streaming music....occasionally taking a break to look at the tropical paradise....better than a Calgon moment. It truly takes me away.

Been having a great time visiting some of SL entertainment venue's. In particular Ellie's Burlesque and the Beautiful Freaks Circus. Ellie Criss and her partner Slappy Doobie along with their burlesque troupe are just simply amazing. If you have never taken in a show at any of their locations (Tues/Thurs/Sat 7:00SL time) do your self a favor and just go. These people are so talented and fresh. To be truthful, Slappy and Ellie have been my inspiration to learn Burlesque dancing.

Life in SL is pretty good. I've been lucky enough to meet some great people and have rapidly progressed with my learning process. The major difference between SL and RLC certainly is the level of expertise it takes to understand how SL works. Here is way more stable an environment that RLC could ever be. SL seems to attract serious people who are talented. This is the bonus of living in SL. It seems to me no one takes this lightly...it isn't totally about sex as RLC is and really only had that capability. This is so much more like real life and that is a breath of fresh air for me.

I'm sad to report.....there is no escaping drama in SL either. The main reason I left Red Light Center was to escape the constant emotional drama. Well, it seems that is present here as well.
But those are personal and not business drama I speak of. Seems that I am totally single again...oh well....I seemed not to have learned my lessons well from RLC and had a relationship disaster since I last wrote. Funny, I use a virtual world to escape real life's difficult times and want to have fun. Always, seems that someone is needy or jealous and then creates issues that blow up into virtual drama. I'm so over that.

On the bright side....you do find out quickly who your true friends are and again I am fortunate to have a few that stuck by me with their unwavering support.

So it is on to learning the craft of Burlesque dancing. I hope you will come visit me at Lady Garden Cabaret some day...just to say hello...and that would let me know someone actually reads these blogs.

I suspect most are here for the pics :-) Not that it is a bad thing....just that I have found some great information and writing in the blogs associated with Second Life.

And speaking of pics.....I will be posting a set to my Inferno blog shortly.

Kisses,
