14 months???

Really?

Boy...I've been neglecting this blog something terrible!

Well, it's too late for me to start a new set of posts. Maybe tomorrow. ;)

'Nite!

Howdy Pardner!

So, 4/18 was Cowboy night at Jake's. I have to say, I was FOR ONCE ready in advance. I found an outfit a full day in advance. Normally, I'm rushing around after the party has started, having to ignore TP's from Jake and the boys...but this week I was ready.

Lots of hot guys in chaps, faded plaid, leather and boots. Can't go wrong there. Syri was great, of course, as DJ. Even caving in to pressure to play the occasional country song, when requested. Also, any song with a cowboy-appropriate word in the title was fair game as well...so we heard the likes of Jessica Simpson whispering her way through "These Boots are Made for Walkin'" (I prefer the original, but oh well) and somehow Def Leppard's "Pour Some Sugar on Me"...I forget how that fit in with the cowboy theme. LOL

I don't know if anyone caught it, but I stripped early (and quickly changed back). I thought it would be cute to have those red cover-all-underwear that they used to wear in the ol' West...but in the end, I didn't care for it. And, to my knowledge, no pics exist.

I had to call it an early night. RL always seems to get in the way when I'm having fun.

Makes you wonder if there were any "queeny" gays back in the day...I mean, that's gotta be how the leather thing started...don't ya think?

Somethin' kinda hot about the brim of the hat coverin' the eyes, don't ya think?

All the hot men in leather, boots, indian garb and of course...Syri's hot little number, made me remove the cloak.

It's a new Patty!

Well, Spring is here. The trees and flowers are starting to come back to life. Got me thinking that it was time to make some changes. I've had the same look, pretty much, for a little over a year and was itching for a new look.

Mostly, new outfits. I'm a terrible shopper. What I think looks good on the "model" rarely looks good on me. Well, Jakey and Baz decided they wanted to make me over and I said...okay.

The first thing? A new shape. I wasn't 100% keen on this idea, since I liked my "look" and had gotten used to it, and for the most part, it served me well. But, I went with an open mind and knew Jakey would know what would look right.

We found a nice shape in one of the shops at Jake's Club Resort, Agape I believe. It was relatively close to my original shape, just a bit more refined and (as Jakey put it) with rounder cheeks (face, not ass...at least I think LOL).

After that, it was off to find a new skin. We were successful at Belleza (I forget the region, sorry). I think this was my favorite. I liked my old skin, but had been looking around for something with a little more definition. So, I'm happy with that.

Then it was time for shoes. Thank God. I have the hardest time with shoes/sneakers...especially sneakers. They brought me to the only pair I'll probably ever need...Porn Star? LOL...hey, they look great and comfortable and they're customizable.

Then came, I guess the more humorous part...at least for Baz and Jakey. Now, I've know Jake for over a year. I've worn the same few pairs of jeans that I own for most of that time. This morning (he says he's told me before, maybe I wasn't listening) Baz cracked that it was time to get rid of the "mom" jeans...and of course Jakey laughed. Now, I admit...I do have one pair that are a little "high-rise". I had no idea that they (or my other jeans) were that bad. (I guess that would make sense to me since in RL I only started wearing mid-rise 2 years ago. LOL). I think that store was Zoobong or Zoobom. I'll edit later with correct names.

Then some shirts from Beefcake. I could drone on and on, I know you're dying to see the end result:

Now, I will admit. I got scared of the new shape...mostly because it had a new face. So when I logged in earlier to go shopping for an outfit for the Spring Fling Party tonight, I wore the old shape. Jakey quickly set me straight and I put the new one back on. I'm liking it more and more.

Now I just need to get Brady to get me another sexy profile pic. LOL

You know...

Ok, so there was a big long vent here.

I'm overworked and overtired and got a little bitchy about something that truly isn't that important to me. Hopefully I didn't piss any friends off too much.

It's gonna be a long week at work, and while I enjoy logging onto SL, chatting with friends and listening and "dancing" to good tunes...I think I just need to step back and take a little break. Go to bed earlier, get through this week-from-hell at the office and return in a better mood, well-rested and back to my normal fun-loving self.

'nite.

Patty's Digs

Well, I finally did it. Got myself a little (rented) place on the grid.

It's been a long time coming. I've been on SL for almost 2.5 years and, except for a brief relationship, never had a place to call my own. My "home" sim was some god-awful place with loud music and obnoxious people. I ended up making the Korea4 region my home. It's near the first public newbie area I used to frequent (Korea1) and is usually empty.

I have found that landing in an empty region comes in handy when one forgets the potential state of undress one may have been in the night before. Nothing more embarrassing than dropping into a club or even general public area in your rezday suit. LOL

So, today I decided to rent a condo at Tower 3 at Jake's Club Landing. Luckily, it comes furnished and I can add my own personal touches. As time goes by, I hope to add my own furniture and all that...but just want to take my time and see how it goes.

Here are a few shots:

Patty's One-Liner of the Week...almost.

Damn!

I should know not to make notes in shorthand after I've had a couple of cocktails.

During the Nursery Rhyme/Dr. Suess party last night I uttered what was probably the most off-the-cuff, type-before-you-really-think-it-through one-liners...and it worked. It was good enough to even get Syri to chime in over a song with a snicker.

All I can remember is that it involved several people commenting on liking P!nk the singer, then a sexual reference to something pink and my response was something like "I like pink, just not necessarily in my face".

Damn vodka. Oh well. Lesson learned. Full notes from now on!

I didn't even get a picture! It was a hot party. As usual, I stressed about what to wear. I came up with a Peter Cottontail-ish outfit and then Baz got me liking the idea of the hare racing the tortoise. He asked where the tortoise was and I said something like "He's still at the fuckin' race, I'm here to party."

Belated Mardi Gras...

Well, this year I was sick for Mardi Gras and had to forego my usual celebration at Shiggs (RL reference, I don't expect anyone to get that). So, I was pleased to find out that Jake's was having a Mardi Gras celebration the weekend after.

As usual, I had lots of fun, here are a few pics I managed to take:
