I declare it bad pick up line’s week! Yup, you heard me. For today’s comic I snagged the help of Shai Avedon and Blu Jupiter. Thanks you two.

Today’s comic was inspired by my boyfriend. I was talking to him about pick up lines and he just started throwing some out there that I couldn’t help but laugh at. Thus, this week is about pick up lines with a twist.

The frog is from Zooby’s and is actually rather cute. It does a few fun things but it make’s a good prop for decoration or fun (especially if you are a frog lover). Zooby’s also has other really cute scripted animals for any pet lover to adore. I have a husky from there and am completely infatuated with it.

Every now and then I stop and reflect on life. Recently, I have been stopping and thinking about how time moves in Second Life and how it relates to our real lives. Which as I sit there reviewing these thoughts, I remember the past. There are things I miss from back then but there are things that I don’t. Thus the inspiration of today’s comic. I realize that it isn’t very funny, especially to those that do not remember the old days. But today was more about expressing a look how far we have come since a few years ago.

Also, I want to draw your attention to the necklace and earring set that I have on in the comic. I snagged it from DM Designs for 69L Hump Day. So I went back to try and find it to see if she offered it, which thankfully she does and you can get earrings, necklace and bracelet for 299L. The set is of amazing quality and comes in various color a*sortments that are sure to make anyone squeal in some form of delight. Also, the set is transferable. I highly recommend that if guys are having a hard time finding something for Valentine’s Day for their sweetie, that they stop by DM Designs.

Today I wanted to express another teleport mishap that can happen in Second Life. I have given to friends my home slurl so they can come visit me whenever. Which is great and all, but sometimes some of them catch me in the middle of things that I wish they hadn’t of.

I want to take the time to thank Aldwyn Zanzibar and Iason Ha*sanov for helping be my male models for this comic. Luckily for Al, he hasn’t ever experienced my wrath for teleporting in at the wrong time.

In case you are curious and love the hairstyles that you have seen on Rai, they are from Fri.day. I discovered the place from a friend of mine and since then I have been a Fri.day hair addict. My favorite thing about the hair details is how it has that loose silky look that hair can have. It makes me swoon.

Also, random note about custom skins. They are so worth it if you have a tattoo design you like but don’t want to wear the several layers. I would love to see a skin designer hook up with a tattoo artist in Second Life, and see what wonderful things they could come up with.

More to come about the site this week. I am debating about a few things to implement for fun and will be making my mind up by Friday I hope.

For comic + Details (http://dejavirtuelle.com/2010/01/25/bunny-multiply/)

Today’s post was inspired from a joke with a few friends about the Ozimals Bunnies. Before their release, some close friends and I were chatting about how fast we thought we might see a bunny. The above semi came the joke. When the bunnies came out, I bought two and then went back and bought two more. Within a few days I came back online to a couple of baskets around. I am pleased that they actually don’t multiply at an overwhelming rate as hinted in the comic. I have also enjoyed watching the genetic concepts and how they play in with bunnies. Plus, I was really worried that I was going to log into several bunnies. So to log in and see just baskets once in a while is nice. It helps me to keep a good control on prims.

So for anyone that is looking to teach their kids about genetics, by showing them these bunnies online in a virtual simulation could help them understand a few things. Well, that is if they are learning about it at the same time in their science cla*ses. Even if you just want some cute pets that are wonderfully crafter/detailed, I highly suggest checking out Ozimals. The rest of the sim for the bunnies is worth exploring as well. Some cute things that have been designed by others.

You will also notice some changes to the website. A few more are going to be implemented in this week. As I figure out how to adjust to this new lay out. If it hadn’t been for Seattle Barbosa, I would not be even publishing a comic today. So major thanks to him for helping me fix the website issues.

Today’s post was inspired by a memory of a few years ago in Second Life. I insisted on living in apartments back then at one point for about a few months in there. Well after a point of living in them, I experienced some rather comical things. In fact I experienced something very similar to the above as well, but they weren’t moving a picture frame. *coughs* And we will just say that it wasn’t at all pg/pg13 content that they were doing.

I would like to thank Aldwyn Zanzibar and Bebe Begonia for participating in this comic. Also, Bebe provided me with a prop from her lovely french country furniture store Casa de Bebe. Very wonderful low prim details and work for their price. So I encourage that if you like the Victorian/French antique look to stop by Casa de Bebe.

On a side note, I am investigating in some future things for the site. It may take me a month or so to implement it depending on the amount of time I will have. So here is to the New Year and new ideas.

When I was thinking up this next comic, I kind of was thinking of several other games. I have experienced lag so badly in World of Warcraft that its like you are standing still going “yup”…insert pause “yup”. It can be horrid! This comic actually gave me an idea for a future comic that I will do in February. Yes, I have several planned out between now and then. You should see the list and note cards I have next to my desk.

In this post I wanted to feature the AKK Horse and this one is the AKK 09 XL WS Legend Arabian x Black Blanket Appaloosa Horse. I haven’t been by recently to see if the 2010’s are out yet or not, but I imagine they will be at some point in the next few months. The nice thing about these horses is that you have several options in the menu that you can do with them. They can also do poses for photos (which is a double yay for me). They are a bit expensive but if you are a huge animal lover, they are worth every Linden.

Also just want to draw your attention to the site contest. It closes on the 31st. I will accept entries on the 31st but past that nope. So please read up on the site contest if you are interested in winning some gift cards and Lindens

Sometimes you will be walking along in a sim and forget to see that you are crossing over a sim line so you look like you just keep walking. And then it creates this reaction of wait stop moving I want to go over there. Noooo! Stop!!! Yeah well that is what it does for me. Especially if I am on a shopping spree looking for a specific something. Thus the inspiration to this comic. Thank you Victoria Sabra for helping to model in the comic for me (P.S. We still actually need to go shopping!).

I would love to draw your attention to the pose that Vic and I are using for this comic. It is from Glitterati and it actually allows three people to fit on the pose. Glitterati also has these awesome photo booth scenes you can rez and use (which come with several poses). I will try and figure a way to squeeze one of those into a future post. Anyway if you haven’t check out a place that has cute poses for friends, groups, and lovers then hurry to Glitterati.

First off, thank you Catero Revolution for being my male model and amazing friend.

This comic more today is on a fail for myself. Which after talking to some other, I have realized its a fail that is semi common depending on who you use for a website host and so forth. When I was working with the FTP and other related items to establish the site, I started hunting for nice features. I discovered how to set up my own forums and did. Though after much talk with a few friends, I realized maybe that was a bit over kill and removed them. But as I was setting up forums I decided to install a profanity filter in order to help make sure some words didn’t get said in the wrong context at someone. This was mostly because I was worried about moderation over the forums if they did work. Turns out my profanity filter was awesome in blocking out the word except for one detail. If for instance using the words a*sistance/cla*sifieds it would freak out and block the words so that it appeared as ***istance/cl***sifieds. So in all honesty, today’s post is to make fun of myself along with some of the filters out there that cause such related issues. Needless to say, I have also deleted the filter.

Also here is a quick link to the game Mine Sweeper for those that may not know what it is. http://www.mine-sweeper.com/

Something else I wanted to draw your attention to in this post is the noir sofa from The Loft. This is probably one of my favorite Second Life items to date. This is mostly because of all the different pose balls that are within it that do cater well to both men and women. This couch also comes in another colorful arrangement but both the noir and colorful Addison sofas are around 9 prims. So for anyone that loves several poses built into a low amount of wonderful quality furniture (as well as quality poses) I encourage that you check out The Loft.
