Dear Second Life, WARNING: The following is intended for my "What the heck is she talking about. Has she finally gone completely insane?" readers. I am a bit confused about the "mesh" thing. Why is it that it only appears to cause problems on the female Avatars? I am serious! Have you ever walked into a store and find yourself surrounded by naked Avatars... and all ladies? I keep seeing boobs here and a crack there and no matter where I turn, there it is... boobs, crack or even worse, the "hello kitty". But never do I see a naked guy's crack or family jewels. Oh, I forgot, those they get to carry in their back pockets and only come out till they need them. Unless they are sick and walk around Second Life wearing a huge "thing" hanging out that seems to guide them like a gold detector to the the ladies in hopes that they will get lucky. First of all, it is actually a HUGE turn off for us ladies when we see a man exposing his privates like that in a public place. And secondly, we are not impressed by a huge thing at all! What will really impress us is a faithful "thing" even if it's the size of our pinky. Are you with me on this one ladies? GREAT, thought so! Anyways, going back to what I was saying before, it is not that I am interested in seeing any private parts of a man when I go shopping but I think it is so unfair for us ladies. They get to enjoy the view of a room full of beautiful naked women and what do we get... NOTHING! Unless we see the huge gold detector coming our way, but then in that case I recommend you run for your life. I bet other people are probably seeing me naked too just as I see them but nobody dare says anything. We all pretend everything is OK and talk about the weather or exchange cooking recipes while our clothes decided to finally rezz. And then the wait.. the wait for our clothes to finally rezz seems to last an eternity. The majority of my friends have already seen me in my birthday suit at least a few times. All thanks to the miracle of mesh and a stroke of pure luck, talking about my male friends here :P Usually when this happens, I tried to cover myself with whatever I can while mesh has mercy on me and will appear. But keep in mind that I only have two hands so I usually use them to cover my front parts. I will turn around and just show cheeks. "Talk to the butt while my clothes appear." that is what I usually say, just kidding! :P Anyways, I don't know if I am the only one with this problem, or if there are others like me. "I see dead naked people Avis"
Mesh Be Fair! Or all naked... men and women. Or don't disappear from us when we are out in public! Forever yours, Lori Novo ❤

Please don't think for a second that I had forgotten about you yesterday. I decided to spend most of the day with my kids. I took them shopping for their back-to-school stuff, went to eat Chinese and ended the day going to the movies to watch Kick-Ass 2. It was a great day but I got home feeling so tired.
I've noticed that lately I am starting to come less and less to Second Life which is a good thing. Sometimes we forget our priorities and start living our Second Life as if it was our first, do you know what I mean? I remember once my mother told me that it was so sad to see how people get closer to the people they meet over the Internet than to the ones they have in RL.... so true mother! I have to admit though, I feel a million times closer to some of my best friends here than I do to most of the people in my RL. However, my kids will ALWAYS come first before anything or anyone. They are my greatest loves and I am so blessed to have them. And the best thing is that I do not need pose balls to give them a kiss or a hug like my Juvie says. Steppenwolf is always asking me how they are doing. He's always telling me to give my kids and my mother a hug. He has no idea how much that means to me.
I always said that if you want to win my heart the way to do it is through my children ;)
GROUP GIFT Today I went by The White Armory and picked up this week's group gift Lake Of The Woods Gown Set (Includes The Necklace)
Remember that the group gift changes every Saturday, late at night.
Adios for now, Keep a close bond with all the special people in your Second Life. But don't forget your family while doing this. Second Life is but a beautiful dream... Real Life is the most extraordinary gift from God.

Yesterday was such a crazy and exciting happy day for me as all Saturdays are.
First,
Lori (me :P) had a great fall LITERALLY,
when my dog Cookie came running to me as I was running to my truck to get something and midway
we came together, just like in the romantic movies when the guy and the girl run across the white sand to each other while the ocean's breeze blows her hair so beautifully and they embrace and roll on the sand in a passionate kiss.
Well, of course, Cookie and I didn't embrace or kissed, but I was sent like ten meters into the air (exaggerating a little here to make this story more exciting) when she got in my legs. I actually saw my whole life flash before my eyes and also the many people that had stopped at my neighbor's yard sale. It was all like in slow motion. I am serious, even my son and daughter said they had to wait a while to finally see me hit the ground. "Mom, I thought you were never gonna finish falling." those were my daughter's exact words. How I did that, I have no idea!
Once I finally hit the ground, Cookie, thinking I was playing, got on me playfully and licked me all over. My son had to help take her off me while I kept asking him, "OMG did anyone see me fall?" He said no.
But HE IS LYING >:( Remember my neighbor's yard sale?
Thank God I am not an egg or I would be all cracked right now.
Another great Saturday moment I want to share with you is when Step (my loving partner) and Juve (my bffff diva) finally met. That was very important for me since they are the two most important men in my SL. Juvie put Step to the test of "Seriously loves Lori and not for fakes"
and Step pass with flying colors!!!
What can you expect from a sweet pirate/wolf that adores me and seriously thinks I am a goddess.
Nobody better tell him I am just a goof with a few loose screws that still believes in Santa Clause.
My beautiful before I go please allow me some words that come from the deepest part of my heart ...
Please don't let this Second Life change you in a negative way. Use the beauty of this magical world
in a positive way. Let's not forget our principles and integrity and the respect we owe to ourselves, to our families, and the people we meet here. Let's be truthful, there is nothing crueler than to use people as if they are nothing, just pieces of a game. Let's not lie and deceive people with stories of things that never were or are. If we don't want to share much of our real life that is our right and understandable but what is inhumane is to invent things that can seriously cause so much pain to others. We get to care... really care and get to cry real tears.
Be as truthful as you can or say nothing at all.
Best to leave a good memory and a smile behind.
Forever yours,
~Lori Novo ~
❤

Time to say bye for now. Leaving you with this beautiful image of my sis Valki. Don't forget to smile and spread the love around.
This month's theme, the 20's, has to be one of the best ever.
The era of the 20's, with all its glamour, is one my very favorites. I just wish I had the talent to create
fashion in Second Life and offer it to all the beautiful SL women breathtaking creations
covered in stones and all that shiny stuff that make us look like Christmas trees ;)
But for now, all I can do is create all those beautiful dresses in my mind and dream of some day becoming
one of the best fashion designers in Second Life.
Forever yours,
~ Lori Novo ~
