After studying piano at the Royal Conservatory, Max first picked up an acoustic guitar at age 15. By 19, he was seriously pursuing music as a means of self expression. Max says at “the very center of my musical soul is AC/DC” but from there it radiates out to embrace an eclectic mixture of sounds. On any given day, one might hear an acoustic version of Sir Mix-A-Lot, Johnny Cash. Pearl Jam, The Pogues, Frank and Nancy Sinatra, and Jason Mraz.

Ladies this is for you, pass it on

Mansworld Mens Clothes Guys Fashion,

Are you tired of seeing a large % of males in SL all looking the same?  By golly cheeze etc. we were out the other night, and the standard dress seems to be black pants, open shirt, black vest, or leather jacket, sometimes black shades, black hair etc.  Does every male in SL feel he has to look like a biker or the movie version of a bad dude?

69 Park Ave GQ http://69parkave.com,

Women we know like their men to dress up, a man who knows how to dress and show of his "style" and confidence, is more likely to be a man who we will want to get to know better. As one gal said, "wouldn't you just want to undress that hunk"....

MIMI'S CHOICE, clothes, shapes,shoes,boots,hair,male, female,

Many of these places are hooked up with are partnered with a sister store that features some great ladies fashions.  Fashions that are not the usual knock offs seen in the ready made retail market. Yes you might have to pay a little more, but it is nice to stand out when you walk into a room, or club, and not look like someone else.

We all want to be recognized for the special individual we are. in the real world, do we want to dress all the time in the same outfit, day in and day out, week after week.  Why then do we think its OK to do so in SL.

It seems that many men don't like to shop, there are a lot of women who also feel the same, have a friend help you.  There is nothing more boring then walking into a room and finding out that out 10 men, 7 of them wear the same avatar, & skin the only difference IF there is one, is the hair, and maybe the way the clothes are worn.  The likely bought right off the rack or on market place.  We'll bet dollars to donuts that the same look a like men, are all check out the ladies, to see who stands out.

These are other places where you will find men's clothes

Doc's Men's Wear,

Fratte Rosa Beach - Home and Business Center

Mens Formal Wear - Mens Suits,

Large selection of men's hair  Alli&Ali Designs Classic - Hair, Scripts, Gimp tutorials,  usually always something on sale, or free.

Wedding Season is coming

Wedding season is upon us.  Whether you are the one getting married, or attending, there is a lot to think about.  The bride will have her engagement ring, but maybe she hasn't picked it out yet.  

The virtual worlds open up a world where dreams can come true, and for a little while you are a princess.  You meet your prince and you are swept off your pretty little feet. You dance, laugh and seem to be without a care.  You shop for shoes, and outfits to charm and delight your wonderful new "beau"

I

Not only the women get caught up in the fantasy, men do too.  They find someone who is not wanting them to be anything other than they are (at that moment in time.)  If only real life were like that, but never mind, in this story, we are falling in love .  The romantic in all of us, gets to come out and explore the world it is in.

 Dreams are lived, special moments are had that were never experienced in the real world, you find that love can be like living on a cloud.  You can buy land, build a home together, there are no bills to pay, no grass to be cut, and no plumbing that needs fixing.  There is just two hearts beating as one.

There are wonderful designers in Second Life, Luminesse is another designer who offers delightful pieces at reasonable prices.

 What better way to say I love you, then by sharing a part of you that may have been cooped up for a very long time.  You find your pixel self dancing in your partners arms, held close, with sweet words whispered in your ear.  You feel her need just for you, no questions, no demands, just wanting you.  How easy it is to believe it will last forever.

When friends and acquaintances  you know take their vows, or start a relationship where there is a commitment with all your friends to share with you, the time is even busier.  You need to find that perfect dress, the one that will have you being the bride you have always seen in  wedding magazines or in movies.   There are a number of great dress designers in SL who will offer amazing outfits, you will be the diva on the red carpet... your " Oscar" the man of your dreams.

If you are too busy to plan your own wedding, there are wedding planners who will help you. They will help you to not only plan the wedding, some will assist you in getting the church, and the club or special gardens for the receptions anything and everything to do with a wedding.

This is heady stuff, that simple dance in a stranger's arms, has grown into a full blown story book romance.  Or has something else happened  And you have yet to find out.  The difference from RL and SL in this one regard, is that while you are drinking in the moment of being in his/her arms, and cherishing everything about the moment, he or she, can be having a really tantalizing conversation with another avatar

In RL if you have someone in your arms, at that moment, their minds could be elsewhere, but there is no input from another energy, the two energies that are locked in that embrace are yours and the person you are with. 
Still I know many partnered friends in SL and they are true to each other.  They have the confidence in themselves, and the knowledge that behind every avatar in SL there is another human being, a person with a heart and feelings, and they act accordingly.  When a heart or dream is broken, it is real pain, sadness and a feeling a betrayal that takes place.  It is not a fantasy, it is very very real. 

There are no dress up events in SL where shoes don't play an important role, like jewelry, we (women) love our shoes.    You will find the taxis to Felicity Shoes, and to Beloved Jewelry in our side bar--------------------------------->

Now .. entertainment for your wedding events, this is your special once in a lifetime moment, why not consider Live entertainment, not just any kind of live entertainment, search out what will suit your needs and go for it.  There is someone to help you do that too.  Her name is Veronica Weksler  a knowledgeable, dedicated professional who will give it to you straight.  You know her information is current, and she will not steer you wrong.  She auditions and knows all the performers, artist in her group.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For a good DJ you need only review past blogs for names of some of the best dependable DJ's in the biz.  Each DJ is his/her own personality, find the one that will meet with the need you will have to make your day special.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I would like to thank all my many contacts/friends who have helped me gather my information and understanding of what happens in SL.  You know who you are, I appreciate your honesty, your open rapport, the loyalty you have shown to your friends, and the generous spirit you have shown in offering friendship to me in my search for "life's lessons".

Love is something that never goes away, when you offer friendship and love follows, it will always live in your heart.  We are all connected, all brother and sisters, SL offers the romantic love to flourish, cherish it, even when it is just a memory.  Every day is a new beginning.

                                            Namaste   -    Oyashikiri

Effinjay and more

Caught their show March 5.15 and was blown away by the light hearted fun, and the great musical delight they provided fans.  Jeremy Works (Frogg) has an amazingly soothing voice, I don't think it would have mattered what he was singing, I simply mellowed out and flowed with his dreamy voice.
They provided me with a bio, that I am simply going to cut and paste for you.
You have Bass guitarist Erik Anthony to thank for this find, he invited me to join him and I did.  Thank YOU Erik!

Effinjay Biography

Growing up just down the street from each other in Eugene, Oregon, a small northwestern town known for its arts subculture, Jeremy Works (Frogg) and Marc lePine (Jaycatt) only started playing music together after joining Second Life. Before that, Frogg was hosting an open mic for the local music community, and Jaycatt was working for a local utility company. Jaycatt discovered SecondLife in June of 2005, and shortly afterwards Frogg joined him there and started playing shows.  Jaycatt began providing piano music breaks during Frogg's shows,  but eventually these breaks grew into longer sets, and that's when they began to collaborate.

Their popular Friday night performances have been running regularly since July 2005 around Second Life, occasionally still taking place at their home base, Amphibicatt Gardens.  They have a loyal listener base, and entertain and delight the live music lovers of Second Life, playing on average 5 live shows a week.  Frogg and Jaycatt’s notoriety in SL has not escaped the attention of the music industry and to date they have been interviewed by, amongst others, Rolling Stone Magazine, and MTV.

Their repertoire consists of mostly original material, but also a few selected covers. Frogg studied vocal music from middle school through college, while Jay studied piano for 14 years, and together as singer/songwriters they have produced a comprehensive range of heartfelt and memorable melodies and poetically lyrical songs. Musical influences range from Simon and Garfunkle, The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Frank Zappa, and Mannheim Steamroller.
