Words Fail Me….

I deliberately keep RL politics, more or less, out of this blog and Caledon in general. After all, we have more then enough drama in the Metaverse without importing any. However, I just simply had to report this story in case it slips past some of my neighbors.
Sometimes, children’s television can be used to teach [...]

My Dinner with Fuschia

As many of my readers are already aware, in the recent South Pacific event I placed myself upon the block for charity. In the ensuing madness, well-known local Pixie Fuschia Begonia paid a cool 10G for an evening of my time.
Knowing my reputation, this caused many raised eyebrows in the blue-stocking set and much conjecture [...]

Geniuses At Work?

They say there is a fine line between genius and madness.
While I have no idea which side of that line the creators of the Rube Goldberg special that appears in this video would fall on if hucked into the air by a giant catapult made of Popsicle sticks, I just know I want them on [...]

Caledon: The Motion Picture

I am tired. When I am tired, oftentimes my mind goes places I didn’t send it and brings me back things. It did that today as I was considering the current noise about the Transformers movie over lunch.
What it brought me back was a question, written on a little vellum scroll. The question read as [...]

Teatime in BardHaven

I am pleased to announce a special event being held here at the Barony a week from Sunday.
My lovely wife the Baroness Kirawill is honored to invite the ladies of Caledon to join her for a Rose Corridor Tea to be held at 3 SLT on July 8th in Mayfair, in the garden adjacent to [...]

Playing with Dolls

As regular readers will remember, I recently commented on a display of Doll fashions and avatars. At the time, I was privately contacted by many asking if there was to be another such event, and the whens and wherefores of it.
I am happy to report that I have been approached by Miss Doll Box, the [...]

Seasons Change in Winterfell

The twilight Sims of Winterfell have been undergoing several exciting changes lately. The four federated Sims under the leadership of Serra Anansi bask in the shadows of an endless sunset, a haven for those of us who enjoy life to be a slightly darker hue then Caledon.
The changes include some new locations for the main [...]

Bali Hai!

One of the most interesting of the recent spate of Relay for Life events took place in Caledon over the weekend as many coconut bras and short sailor skirts were donned for the South Pacific party as designed by Miss Lavandar Beaumont and Mr. Erasmus Margulis.
The highpoint of the tropical festivity was the date auction, [...]

A Sweet Distraction

Sometimes one needs a small distraction to keep the daily travails of the Metaverse in perspective. Recently I encountered just such a distraction, and with a Victorian theme to boot.
Namely, I ran across a little game called Chocolatier, which allows you to fill the confectioner’s apron of a Victorian candy maker as you rise [...]

…Whither Will We Wander?

There are many changes swirling around us currently….voice, age verification, WindLight, sculpties, other changes only hinted at. Most of these changes have yet to reach fruition, therefore I think this is a good time to look around us and take stock.
Certainly, Caledon begins and ends with Desmond’s vision. I would be the last person to [...]

Perhaps an iTelegraph?

Before you is yet another post with nothing really to do with Caledon except for the fact I thought my readers would find it amusing. I suspect some of you, like myself, are phone geeks (gasp). Yes, many of you are the sorts of people who would feel quite lost without the personal communication device [...]

Linden Librarians?

Of interest to the Caledonian Diversity League, it seems that Linden Labs is not alone in it’s rush to retreat before moralizing bullies. While it may have little to do with Caledon, Victoriana or even Second Life, I think the article I reprint below illustrates the battle we who believe in tolerance face.
The article is [...]

Women’s Fashion – Cyndi from Silent Sparrow

I freely admit, with a certain amount of shame, then when I first saw hyasynth Tiramisu’s new lingerie set, dubbed Cyndi by the artist, my first thought was “When Greg catches her in that, he is SO going to tell their Mom…”
However, Greg’s over-protectiveness (and Jan’s inevitable jealousy) aside, Cyndi is all that anyone would [...]

Objectification Ho!

As everyone knows, I am a very shy, retiring sort of fellow, loath to place myself in the spotlight…however, sometimes an offer is too piquant to refuse.
Some weeks ago the effervescent Miss Lavendar Beaumont contacted me and asked if I was available to purchase for an evening. Sadly, she then dashed my hopes by telling [...]

…Signifying Nothing?

As the concept of Voice in the Metaverse gathers force and appears it will soon break over us like an aural tide, the debate on what this means is deepening. This discussion is especially powerful here in Caledon, where subtle illusion and role play is so intrinsic to our lives here. As such, I opted [...]
