It’s not often that I get involved in disputes like this. Okay, it’s never. But I’m making an exception this time. People in SL think that they can hide behind a mask of anonymity, and that it’s just play money. It’s very real money, and it’s theft whether in SL or RL. Read about it here.
UPDATE: Cara Ametza has given Jori a full refund. Case closed.
It’s a terrible thing to lose your lucky hat. So when I finally found it again after 3 months, I just wanted to jump and dance. While holding my lucky hat in my hand.
For today only you can get the set of 8 poses for just $L100! Hat sold separately, just $L25.
You too can have a lucky hat. It’s not complicated.
Thomas is on his way to achieving the Great American Dream. He’s an up and coming Junior Advertising Executive working on a promotional campaign for those 8mm movie cameras everyone’s talking about. Being on the cutting edge of technology is an exciting life for a young ambitious man.
Thomas is proud that his new suburban home has both an AM radio AND a television. And as if that’s not entertainment enough, he often hops in his new car and cruises down to the drive-in to catch the latest movie. Thomas has got it all – well, he’s got everything but that special lady in his life. One he can dote on and buy pretty things for, a gal that knows how to mix a martini and keep up on the laundry. But Thomas is positive she’s just around the next corner. Or on the next block. Maybe down the road. Because everyone knows if you work hard and keep your nose clean, you’ll get everything you want and live happily ever after.
“All you have to do is turn the dial and you have all the company you want. Right there on the screen. Drama, comedy, life’s parade at your fingertips.” — 1955 movie, “All That Heaven Allows”
Thomas wears:
Shirt: Hell Bop “Bill – Polo Shirt Olive”
Pants Artilleri “Bret pants *brown*”
Shoes: Jeepers “Scratch – Sand”
Zephyr knows the difference between gale forces and subtle winds, but prefers to leave you in a whirl. A force of nature, she can wear away stone as easily as she nudges a flower to face the sun. A busy woman, Zephyr never stops moving, and enjoys traveling around the world. It is said that one whispered word, carried on Zephyr’s breath, is enough to sustain a strong man through a day and a night.
Zephyr knows her name quite well, and wishes to have a word with this snip of a breeze called “Mariah” she’s heard mentioned.
Let Zephyr only breathe, and with her tresses play - William Drummond
Zephyr is available in-world.

Dear Valued Group Members,
Our team of moderately skilled and highly paid lawyers have advised us that to avoid a potential lawsuit we will need to change our brand name. “Free*Style(tm)” is a brand owned by Creamy Cooljoke and has been in existence since 2007.
While researching the brand name “Freestyle(tm)” within Second Life(tm), our crack team of researchers turned up no similar brands. I asked our lawyers if we could then sue Linden Labs(tm) dba “Second Life(tm)” for a faulty search tool, but they advised against that as none of them actually has a license to practice law. We simply hired them because they could quote every episode of Ally McBeal. Bygones.
At any rate, the store formerly known as “Freestyle Shapes & Poses” will now be known as “Fluke”. Please join the new group. The old one will be disbanded later today, and I hate the rude message people get when being ejected from a group. I also fear the potential lawsuits from former members who were hurt by the mean text.
Sincerely,
GM Nikolaidis & Barbara Nicholls
I’ve dropped a new set of poses in the vendor. You can purchase them individually, or get the complete set of 8 for 160L! That is half off the already discounted price per set. It won’t be on sale for long, so hurry!
The “Distressed” pose set, as well as many other
fun things are available at Fluke Shapes & Poses. While you’re there, be sure to grab the free group gift (couples pose) just inside the door.
Allison is the girl next door. A friend to everyone, and is usually available to babysit on weekends with short notice. She doesn’t even mind so much, as she finds the company of a good book to be more satisfying than most of the men she encounters. And she will know when the right man comes along – he will likely be carrying a well used book.
Allison is available in-world.
Allison outfit:
pants: Ayla’s – Inkie jeans – light
top: Zaara : Kavi top *charcoal*
jewelry: ::MOOD:: Soho Ebony Ensemble

Diminutive in size, but not in spirit. Jia Li is a creative soul that can weave a tapestry of words much like a painter weaves oil on canvas. She was once stopped for speeding, but after telling the officer how she was late for a lunch date with her mom; a touching story of her lonely mother and her 11 cats, the officer not only gave her a warning but gave her an escort to the restaurant.
Jia Li is available in-world.

Mila is a mystery. Her dark hair and dark eyes won’t give away any secrets, but we can guess from some facial features that she’s from somewhere around eastern Europe. An American woman might be tempted to consider rhinoplasty if blessed with this nose, but Milo knows that beauty is not something you can quantify. Fernando Pessoa had it right when he wrote:
Has a flower somehow beauty? Is there beauty somehow in a fruit?
No: they have colour and form and existence only. Beauty is the name of something that does not exist, which I give to things in exchange for the pleasure they give me.
Mila is available in-world.
P.S. Jori Watler has issued a challenge to other bloggers to sport a more realistically proportioned nose. Here you go.
