Lola

I met Lola back in 2009 when we were both noobs in Divine.  We shared a bond of MM boards and free Neko clothing.  Over the years we have been in and out of each other's Second Life.  I've always admired her strength and level-headed attitude. She is also a fantastic builder making beautiful clothing and party platforms. When it was time for me to leave Divine she welcomed me to her horde with open arms. I will always be thankful for her sound advice and reassurance when I'm in doubt.  Surprising thing about Lola is her incredible wit. She is hysterical! I love you, Lola.

Hoe Down!

Dark Sorrows is the home to my three best friends, Kumani, Laini, and Lola.  Each Saturday night their clan hosts an event. I often attend their events when I am online. They are always so much fun!  

 This particular theme was a country western event complete with farm animals. Lady Esi hosted and King Cuda was the DJ.  Kumani and Laini took home the 2nd and 3rd place prizes. Charm, the giant chicken with no pride, won the event. 

I don't think this is exactly regulation cowgirl gear, but I always have to show off my ass. haha! 

Kumani went for the classy cowgirl look complete with bling bracelet, assless chaps  and a straw hanging out of her mouth. 

Lola wore her cute cow outfit and squirted milk at everyone from her four fun bags. 

Laini went for the hick look though no one minded. She looked fantastic and still jiggled beautifully!

Reminiscing #3:New Friends

The first month in the clan was a period of adjustment. I went to some events. One that stands out is the camouflage theme dance. As a noob I didn't have anything camouflage. I then started a list and asked Rikk what all the themes were so I would have something to wear. Funny! I just wanted to fit in. He replied they had lots of Neko events so I sought those out. Tapping those boards daily I built up my wardrobe without spending a penny. Candi gave me a folder of dances so I could dance. I've thanked her for doing that many times in the months since but I don't think she knows how much it meant to me. Giving me the tools to fit in.

In the months of November and December a huge influx of new members began arriving. A very pale white haired man named Ethan, his girlfriend Missy, Heaven, Lola, an odd pair of twins Laini & Gaz, Jhoram, and Phayte among others. We would sit around the fire pit and chat. I was living on a sandbox and still had no money. The lands were my sanctuary now even if I didn't completely fit in. At least the people there chatted a bit and said hello. Some even were happy to see me when I logged in. I became known for my giant red hair. They could see me coming from across the sim!

I was still very shy but I loved going to the dance events. I would use the folder of dances and try different ones out. I would dance in the very corner of the area, not even on the dance floor because I was so terribly shy. One day I was trying out a sexy dance and Jhoram IM'd me. "Kinda sexy dance for such a shy person." He teased me. I was so embarrassed. But for some reason he set me at ease. He has this calming effect on people even though he dresses like a biker and looks like a roughneck. Slowly I came out of my shell. I won a new skin at Estyle and was feeling a little more confident in my look though it wasn't exactly what I wanted yet. Heaven, Lola and some of the other girls all loved those Neko MM boards and we would call upon each other to help tap them to lock them down. A sisterhood had formed.
