“The reason is you”

Roy Mildor 1

Madison rezzed in at the ‘Stuff Groups lounge as she regularly did, to see if any new designers had joined the groups, as she was perusing the ad/gift boards she noticed an incredibly dishy guy standing in front of the MenStuff boards.  Being a profile perv (well that’s what they are there for right?) she read his profile and was instantly attracted to this avatar without even having uttered a word to him.  “This is pure craziness” she mused to herself, “how can there be an attraction with no interaction?”  Her IM pinged, as she checked to see who it was, her heart skipped a beat “Omg, it’s him”

Axe Darkstorm: Hi there pretty lady, are you by any chance checking out my profile? Lol, I know that sounds like a weird question.

Madison Kitely:  *Chuckles* indeed I was, why do you ask?

Axe Darkstorm: Again this is going to sound weird, but I felt somehow compelled to look at you, as if you were sending me a message through the metaverse.

Madison Kitely:  Ok well it does sound a little odd, but at the same time I have to admit to feeling a strong connection with you while I was reading your profile,  apparently the gods of the metaverse have plans for us, lol, now who is sounding weird ….

Axe Darkstorm:  Well then I think we should be friends don’t you?

And so a new relationship begins ….

That’s Life

Blue dock

Nobody said life would be easy

so the saying goes

but really what is the point of misery

so much unhappiness surrounds us

every single day

It is so difficult to want to continue

when there just seems no good reason

everything is always such a hassle

no one is really happy

Expectations so often unrealistic

others frowning upon your choices

and being judgmental

oh how everyone is so good at that

how does life get so miserable

what is the point

I am so tired of – “Oh that’s life”

Why must I be the one to compromise

just to keep the peace?

Well if that is all life is going to be

then life sucks

For the Love of Words – By Kari Ann

Writing-writing-31044960-500-333
Words are the pixels that put together an understandable picture of my world. Words are the brushstrokes in a masterpiece—the fine lines, nearly meaningless alone, culminating in beauty and understanding together.

I simply love words.

I sit down at my computer and start typing—slowly at first, and then the flood comes over me. Words stream and flow, bubble up and mingle—until, at last, I step back from the strokes and see the picture. I see beauty. I see creation. I see a part of myself in black ink on the page.

SL Relationship Interviews

Three-Hearts

Hi there

With the festive season now behind us the next big thing is Valentine’s Day and in conjunction with Ivy Maverick we thought it would be appropriate to investigate the state of SL relationships. As a result I will be putting together an article on SL relationships which will be posted on Ivy Maverick’s ‘Stuff Groups Blogs. To quote Ivy when we were discussing the project, we are looking for “the good, the bad and the ugly”. So what that means is we would like input from you on your SL relationship experiences regardless of what they are.

I have a few questions which if you have got time I would appreciate you answering. No names will be mentioned in the article unless you give us permission to publish your name. I will be drawing from the responses to these questions in my article. Our intention is for you to respond to the article on the blog once it is posted, should you wish to.

Please feel free to expand on your answers.

AN X RATED INTERVIEW WITH MOHNA LISA

Mmmmmm, doesn’t he look delicious enough to want to unwrap slowly ….? Come with me then as I peel back the layers of the ever so gorgeous and enigmatic man that is Mohna Lisa.

Hello everyone.  This is my first post of what I hope will be many in the WomenStuff/MenStuff blog, where I will be interviewing the designers in both groups.

I have in my time as writer in SL had the opportunity to interview quite a number of designers and as a group within the SL community, fashion designers are a busy bunch but then we get to reap the rewards of their industriousness don’t we ….  On the whole I have found them to be great people.  Granted there are a few who have serious ego issues but then that is to be found in all parts of society.

Mohna Lisa he of the Mohna Lisa Couture brand is not one of those with ego issues, but he very definitely falls into the busy category!!

His store is a pure delight to behold and from a female perspective an absolute wonderland of utter gorgeousness (oh and that kind of includes the man himself).  This man knows how to make a lady feel really sexy but with class.

I eventually managed to pin Mohna down (ok not literally … that’s just wishful thinking)and he generously agreed to have a chat.
