OK so y'all expect me to be like some mad journalist reporter type whenever you see me around. I know most of y'all know Nat and I had our own very special Iraq war, but unlike some pinheads, we knew how to end it. I also know that most of y'all know that I've been building my ass off, and it is pretty large, so that means I've really really been building my ass off A LOT.

Never fear, old habits, unlike ex-lovers, die hard, and I have secretly been taking pics of all the social engagements I have been attending. I didn't write any articles at the time, so don't open up a can of "you suck as a journalist because you didn't mention ME ME ME", k?


Kicking off the memorable moments of my "away from SLIWT" time is this pic of me at Sabein Streeter's wedding. Sabein Streeter, for any of you who live under a rock, which is against the covenant in Costa Rica, btw, is one of the Vain Inc. gals. She's also Costa Rican, and is a finalist in the Miss Costa Rica Sims Pageant. Sabein is also one of those great "All-American" gal types, very girly and stuff, so it was interesting for her to have her wedding at Baron Grayson's very beautiful, but rather macabre, sim. She wore black, with a black top hat, and her bridesmaids wore Victoria's Not Really All That Much Of A Secret. I don't remember who exactly was there, I just remember Queenie "Queenella" Ella IM'ing to tell me to zippa the lippa. Too bad she couldn't stop laughing. I did get to kiss the bride, though, although for some reason I ended up on the pink ball, she ended up on the blue ball, and the groom had no balls. Oh wait, I do remember Zachh Cale up there somewhere, too, but I'm pretty sure he was like a groomsman or something. Unfortunately, Sabein's wedding didn't last very long, so I won't mention that the groom was Aidan Deschanel. Apparently he had a case of "sneaky penis", and hooked up with another babe shortly afterwards.

Taking home the "piss elegant" award for parties during the summer was the anniversary party of fashion's gawdfathers, Kirk Claymore and Maddox DuPont (why do we always put Kirk first?). I don't know what exactly "piss elegant" means, but my Auntie Pedro always said something that was really super duper fancy shmancy was "piss elegant", so we'll go with that. It was held at The Kensington, a really hawt Art Deco joint, and they had live music by Louis Volare--and no, he didn't sing "Volare" (I did ask him to). Rumour has it that, after the party, certain social climbers were scampering to have Art Deco builds commisssioned, about the same time Maddox was heard saying, "Deco is now over."

The party was packed, of course, full of A-listers and modelly types. After Mr. Volare performed, sexy Costa Rica DJ Azu layed some wax for us, and I was appointed "cucci guard." As you can see, notorious socialite Madison Canetti, L.E. Look bigshot Kallisto Destiny, and House Of Gestures Queen Blazin Aubret were shakin them thangs, so I really had my hands full. I don't remember all the names, but Nat and I did do a tango--although how I ended up on the pink ball AGAIN remains a mystery.

Some of the names I do remember were Icemocolo and Migi Voom, although Ice said he was watching football in RL at the time, sooo typical of male fashion designers, and Casa Del Shai CEO Shai Delacroix, who was there with her boo, Botanical CEO Kriss Lehmann. Sissy Pessoa was also there, as were MAD Agency Lead Hawtie Risa Bright, and her man Ari Berznyak (sp?). OOO, almost forgot, I had another Heart Sisters sighting. I still haven't been able to dazzle them with my "southern charm", but they were seen "LOL'ing" it up and shaking some bootay, so there is still hope.

Congrats to Maddox and Kirk (haha switched it up this time, I can do that) on a whole entire stellar year together. These doods really know how to instill envy (get it? lol) and jealousy into the hateful bitches of the grid. Woot! (yes, I wooted, this is serious, y'all).

OK.....what happened next in the "SLociety scene"...lemme think.....oh right, almost forgot. I had a party! Yay! A lot of you bitches that were sposed to be there didn't show up, so I'm still planning my retaliation, but I had a great turnout. The "Bare As You Dare Ball", at Rancho PalmAire, was mostly to be my housewarming, since I haven't had one ever since I moved to Costa Rica, and a way for me to get to hang out with the Costa Rica residents on an off-duty level. DJ Kromus hooked us up with the great tunage he's famous for, and had a couple of our newer chickie-poos IM'ing me to ask me aaallllll about DJ Korobase. Um....why don't chicks just IM him directly, I dunno, but asking me to ask KK what certain kinds of preferences he has isn't really something I think is a good idea. I would like to thank all of you who showed up, Kromus Korobase for hooking it up bigtime with killer jams, Xochi Tolsen for planning the whole thing and taking care of all the details, Absinthe Primrose for the great invitation graphic (I know I was a pain), and my very own Mommy Dearest, Costa Rica Sims CEO Giancarlo Takacs, for letting me have a totally sim lagging party at my house. I was really glad he wasn't mad, and the next day he actually seemed pleased, when he told me that at one point there were 80 people there. According to my guest counter, over 300 had showed up over the 3 hours that the party was on. Awesome! Hey, this is how we do it in Costa Rica, baby!

OK, so I know I missed a few parties, I think fashion show after-parties at KMADD, but if you've been shopping in Costa Rica lately, you'll know why.

I think the next party was the party at the Temple Of Fire, which just about anyone who is anyone in SL was at. The building I had originally built for the "Playing With Fire" party, which was a Costa Rica party organized by Xochi Tolsen, when she was still Events Executive. Butch Horten and Giddeon DeCuir, Butt Pirates CEOs, bought the building after that party, and then hired Xochi to plan a party in the building after they set it up on their sims. The event started off with a fashion show, and the theme was fantasy. The guests really went all out with the costumes, and Clyde Saunders went home with a whopping SIXTY THOUSAND LINDEN cash prize--and unlike some other "prize contests", this one was won by an actual individual, and not the alt of the contest owner. Doesn't that fill you with ENVY? (Get it? LOL!) Congrats to Xochi Tolsen, Absinthe Primrose, fashion show coordinator Tempest Hennessey, DJs Kromus, Azu, and Syriana (yes! Syriana spun! yay!), all the models and sponsors, Butch and Giddeon, and everyone who showed up to make this one of the hawtest parties of the year.

Taking home the award for "sexiest old man in SL" is Maddox DuPont, who is now a staggering two entire years old. Kirk had a surprise rezday party for his boo boi, which required a whole new sim be ordered in Costa Rica. This party wasn't the "balls to the walls" maximum capacity party these doods are famous for, but it had a great crowd of fun people. Maddox went through more costume changes than Madonna on a world tour, and the theme was steampunk. He did have a really cute avi that was like tin man slash unicycle, but I was on a crashathon, so those pics never did turn out. If you know the Claymont-DuMores, you know that at some point in the evening clothes are going to start coming off. That's Mad with the sexy stick leg. This was rather late in the evening, and must have been like costume change number eleventeen million for him, as I was down to my smiley face boxers at this point.
Proving that Costa Ricans really are da bomb when it comes to glamour and excitement, the Ella sisters, Queenie and Frenchy, had their rezday party at one of Charlotte Bartlett's sims. The theme was "Pretty In Pink", and the dress code was pink and white. Charlotte had built a beautiful pink and white...um...I want to say structure, but it was like big dots floating on the water, with some like gossamer draped trellis thing, and these "bubble" limos taking us from the TP spot to the dancefloor. I think I screwed up the limo, though, all mine did was circle the sim and then drop me off back at the TP spot.

There's Costa Rica Sims CEO Giancarlo Takacs in the track jacket.

Note: Kromus's hover text. Don't you just love the evil titler things? I'm so glad I have fast fingers, they really come in handy.The same day as Queenie and Frenchy's party was the party at KMADD for the Holy Mother, Madonna. DJ Azu was spinning--he really works hard--and this was supposed to be a little impromptu, informal get-together type of thing. Maddox did another awesome build, in Madonna's colors of purples, black and white, and at one point sent a region message saying, "the sim is too laggy to shop, so follow the dots and come party." Good thing Queenie and Frenchy's color scheme worked well with this party, because I just wasn't feeling the whole "change between parties" thing.

The day after the Madonna and Ellas parties was the KA skins launch party. Kira Ahn has just released a new line of skins, and Ebony Style CEO Patty Cortes planned the Hollywood-style V.I.P. event to commemorate the occassion. I was actually hired as "security", and was busy in IM with people asking me to ban or eject certain people--I won't name names, but I didn't have the heart to tell them I didn't have the power to do so, I was mostly there to kick the glamour quotient up a notch or twelve. This was a maximum capacity event, and DJ Kromus was the one spinning. At one point, someone said that Kira was going to raise the agent limit (that's number of avatars allowed on the sim, kiddies), but at that exact moment I saw Kira over at the sim line. I was freaking out, thinking she must have lag walked her way over to the next sim, and couldn't get back in to raise the limit because the sim was full. She did manage to raise the limit, and I got the dreaded, "The simulator you are in is going down...", right after I checked the map and saw there were 100 avatars on the sim.

Whew. This is a long one, and I am actually missing a really big party that should be in here. That one was the Tiesto Event, which was put on by Blazin Aubret and DJ Azu. The dress code for that one was red and white, and it was the same day as the Aspire party. I know Nat had mentioned the Aspire party here, the one where Nubis showed up, and Eche just had to stand next to me in THAT shirt. Eche said it was a coincidence, but my cam wasn't focused on the front of him during the time I saw him carefully maneuvering himself to be standing to my right and facing the same direction as me. Gawd, I love Eche Riverview. Woof!

I think we're all caught up now, kiddies. I promise no more incredibly long society articles.
