GREAT PROFILES




Hello Beautiful World!
Welcome to another GREAT PROFILES blog post, which is well overdue. By this, I don't just mean how long
it has been since I last wrote in this category, but also that I had saved all the information and pictures
for this particular one since last month. Now, the long wait is well worth it since this particular profile is
really a very good one. We all love a good profile for sure, especially if it is completely packed with
funny, inspiring, and/or informative stuff. I remember many years ago when I read a profile that made me
laugh so much, even to this day. The profile belonged to a lady who was in the company of her partner.
In her Second Life section, she talked about her connection with God. It truly described a very devoted
religious woman. Of course, I said "awwww" after reading all the holy words she had written in that
section. Then, I moved to her Picks, and I was in shock. Her first Pick was a warning to all women to
keep their eyes off her man...

"You F*uck off bit*hes!, this is MY man. STAY AWAY, and don't even look at him or I'll be fu*cking
pulling your eyes out. so F*CK OFF!"

Yes, this is more or less what she said, just not as bad as it was in her profile. Then on her next Pick, she
shared how, with God's light, she had rescued a little bird and was so thankful for that blessing.
Then again, on her third Pick she was back to the %&#$*@#% for all women, warning us to stay away
from her men. I guess she felt the need to keep reminding us, just in case we would forget that the man
belonged to her. LOL! :P And for the rest of her profile Picks she kept bouncing back and forth from the
holy hallelujahs to the F*uck off bit*hes! It was just so funny, I tell you. :P

But moving on...


Please meet Lana (lahaina.jonstone) 
"Independently wealthy, I travel to exotic places and enjoy the best of life....OH.......WAIT!
I mean in SL - I do all that stuff in SL.  ℒℴℒ"
"Enjoying SL: sailing, landscaping, decorating, photography, live concerts,
dancing and, of course, lengthy conversations on the dock until our typing skills diminish."

I met Lana back on December 4 during one of my visits to Tempura Island, and immediately loved her
profile, from beginning to end, when I checked it out.

"For me, SL is an intoxicating cocktail of serendipity,
illusion and karma, topped with a delicate measure of sharing, 
- too little, and no connection, - too much, and the illusion poofs.
★*♫.•.¸★⋰˚ ♡  ℓ∂ภ∂ :

In her profile, you will find so much great stuff that will seriously keep you entertained for a good while
like it did to me when I read it all.

"Happiness, is like the butterfly, which when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp, 
If you will sit down quietly, it will land softly on your shoulder."
  


In her picks, Lana shares many great locations to visit, among other things. In one of those picks
she describes how one week in Second Life is for most of us, and I leave you with that.
Thank you so much Lana, for beautifying my blog with your presence and a HUGE hug going your way.
Have a good night, everyone, and sweet dreams.

Day 1: They meet, check profiles, exchange banter, possible cuddles. 
Day 2: One person gets brave, IM's the other. More banter and things heat up.  
Day 3: All hell breaks loose. Profile Picks  fill  with confessions of "empty life before you".
Day 4: Elaborate marriage/ collar ceremony, rings exchanged.
Day 5: He is now "Master/Snookie Bear" she wears "His Bitch" T-shirt.
Tender love expressed coupled with promises of "forever". 
            Day 6: New house furnished, pregnancy joyfully announced (nuff said 'bout that!)
Day 7: Jealousy, huge fight, messy breakup, Picks turn real nasty, and then,  - - - - - - -
Day 8: It all goes back to  Day 1. (see above).

Lori & Sunny

Still wearing the same clothes from this morning, but what can I say, I love the outfit!
Thought I would wear it for the whole weekend before hanging it in my wardrobe and never seeing
it again. You know how it is, most clothes in Second Life we only get to wear them once,
then they get lost in our inventories forever. Now, I try to buy smart, you know, separate pieces
that I can mix and match with other pieces to create new-different looks.
I often check the Marketplace for those great promotions that offer us complete outfits for
a very low price, which may include everything from hair accessories, jewelry, belts, scarves, 
bags, and footwear. While sometimes I may not really like the outfit, the pieces that come with it
are great pieces to add to other of your more valuable pieces and make your outfit look like
a million dollars. La'La is my favorite brand that I make sure to check out often in the Marketplace.
I always find something great to add to my wardrobe from the complete outfits offered,
usually ranging from 75Lindens to 99Lindens during their promotions.
Just make sure to always try a demo first if one is available.


Now, with the weekend already here and all those great weekend specials waiting for us, the one
thing that I always look for, before clothes, jewelry, or makeup, is hair! Hair is my Second Life
weakness after my Steppenwolf, of course. I am so thankful for all the great hair designers
who, week after week, offer us beautiful hairstyles for a very low price. Makes me want to squeeze
them til they turn purple; that is how grateful I feel. ;) But, what's up with DOUX? Are they ever going 
to spoil us with great weekend sales like all the other hair designers? Hmmm? :P


The one thing you will never ever see me buying, even if it's being offered for one single Linden,
is a shape. I have only purchased one shape in the past, motivated by how great the ad was,
And of course, I never wore that beautiful shape. My avatar has only worn three shapes in all my
fifteen years in Second Life. The first shape my good friend Catero Revoltion had it specially
made for me when I joined Second Life. It was already waiting for me on day one. The two
other shapes were made by me, one for my static Catwa mesh head and this one now,
for my Lelutka head.
∧,,,∧
( ̳• · • ̳)
But who's this cutie sitting next to me that kind of reminds me of my Pollito [RL kitty]?
It's no other than Street Cat 2 by .:Bellart Studio:. that you can get for only 96 Lindens
during this weekend's sales. Bellart offers a large variety of wonderful companion/pets
at very affordable prices. This kitty is coming home with me! A good bath to get rid of all the fleas
and he can sleep tonight in our bed with us. Scoot over Steppenwolf, Mr. Beast, Anchovy,
and Sunny, make room for... Ah, we need a name!

Have a good night, everyone!
Come on DOUX! Maybe a ponytail or a tiny little hair bun? Yes? No? Anything? Maybe? 😬

Mi Guajira Te Traigo Mi Son

 EXPLORING SECOND LIFE


"That I go again between the streets, between orishas,
between the dark and corpulent heat,
among the schoolboys who declaim Martí,
between cars, between niches, between screens,
between the town square, between the blacks, between guardacantons,
between the parks, between the old city, between the old old hill,
between my Cathedral, between my port
here I say again: love, attributed city

(from "Love, City Attributed")”
― Nancy Morejon




Welcome
this is
(General)

Description:
Turquoise sea of ​​the Caribbean, the variety of colors, extraordinary Cuban architecture,
its revolutionary history: El Paraiso Libertad. Sail to Blake Sea.


Hello Beautiful World!
Today I come to you from a beautiful Cuban location.
The landing point seems to be the residential part of this location overlooking the Blake Sea.
♪ ♫ Mi guajira, te traigo mi son (Guajira, te traigo)
Que tiene salsa y tiene trombón (Que tiene, ¡vamo'!)...
Can't stop dancing to this song by Buena Vista Social Club, Guajira En F.
This is a Cuban "Son", the most popular music genre in Cuba that contains Spanish and African
musical influences. I can almost feel myself dancing around the tables on the streets of Cuba where men
spend hours and hours playing Cuba's favorite past-time, dominos.

But now let's hitch-hike a ride to the second part of this location since hitch-hiking is a very common
way to get around in Cuba. ;)


Oh, wait! Cancel that ride.
The second part of this location is just uphill.

By the way, did you know that after Catholicism, Santeria is the most popular religion in Cuba?
Santeria rituals are led by priests and priestesses in temples known as Houses of Saints.
This religion originated in the colonial era and it is a combination of the Yoruba people, an African
tribe, and Roman Catholicism which was introduced to Cuba by the Spanish conquistadores.
Interesting!

Two other interesting facts about Cuba have to do with Christmas and New Year's Eve.
First, La Navidad Silenciosa which translates to The Silent Christmas was a period of 30 years when
in 1969, Fidel Castro abolished Christmas. Yes, Christmas was banned! Thankfully, This ban was
lifted in 1977 when Pope John Paul II paid a visit to this beautiful country.
The second fact is the burning of "monigotes" in the streets on New Year's Eve, right at the stroke of
midnight. Monigotes are life-sized rag dolls and this tradition is a way to say goodbye to the old year.
And if you want to follow an easier Cuban New Year's tradition is the cleansing of the egg. This is
believed to purify you for the new year. This Cuban tradition consists in rubbing your whole body,
especially your head and the bottom of your feet with an uncooked egg and then smashing it while
making a wish for the new year.

I'll be trying this on this year's, New Year's Eve for sure. ;)


Now that we have reached uphill, we find ourselves in a colorful and inviting
commercial area, Touristy better said. Here you will find everything from cute little shops,
eating establishments, and a dancing area that seems to hold live performances, not really sure
about that one though.

♪ ♫ Guajira te estoy llamando
Para brindarte mi amor
Y darte las melodías
Que salen de mi trombón... 

Still dancing?
I am! ;)

Now some other Cuban facts that I love is their education system. Cuba has a literacy rate of over
99%, one of the highest in the world, almost a perfect score I tell you. <3
This is thanks to the Cuban Literacy Campaign which made schools accessible to everyone.
Now if you ask me what is my favorite bird the answer is the hummingbird. Cuba is home to the
smallest bird in the world which grows approximately to 6 cm. and that is the bee hummingbird.
It is so small that it can be mistaken for an insect and their nests are the size of a quarter.


So there you have it, my beautiful people.
A great new location waiting for you to go and explore, a piece of Cuba in our Second Life.
And some great facts about that beautiful country, hope you enjoyed.

Saying bye for now but seeing you soon again.
Stay cool, both temperature-wise and in attitude! :P
Much love,
Lori Novo
