A few weeks ago I was running amok playing with Four Yip's creations at her gallery at KMADD. I was dressed up in one of the costumes she had put out and was taking glorious piccies.
For a reason I now cannot recall I tp'd back to the gallery...oh yes, for the SLURL!!...and I came across Rawly Rousselot who writes for SL InWorld Today. We struck up conversation about Four Yip. He had never seen her creations. And then we talked about KMADD. I knew nothing of it. He filled me in on the wondrous world of KMADD society and I entertained him with a show of Yip costumes. He's a blogger and dropped a hint about his column and sure enough the next day, there I was in SL InWorld Today, stuck in a pose an dressed in nothing but panties and a tiny sweater. Figures, nearly naked. Again.
As I read the article I began to reflect on the community of people represented in SL InWorld Today. What caught my eye is a very swanky event planning operation and I couldn't help but to think how shiny and pretty the organization looks.
Then my mind switches to thoughts of the work I do with Bridgitte Boucher to put on events. While we are always professionals in what we do there is a certain down and dirty feeling that I get when our happenings come together. Often they are raw and organic. Upon reflection I conclude that I love the thought of how amazing our events turn out.
But then for a fleeting moment I wondered what it would be like to work within the shininess of this other group. The thought left more quickly than it came because I think what we do is wonderful and I love the means as much as the end.
Stepping back to contemplate I look around and see that within the SL world there is a spectrum for every facet of the community. We all choose to operate in different ways and naturally our efforts elicit different results. However, whether we have the shine or not, the important part is that we're here doing it, making it happen. And when we can find satisfaction in the things we do in SL we should celebrate the achievement.

Mama what makes you think you don't shine? Girl, you are a bright SL Star, own that fact.
You hit a very important point..." We all choose to operate in different ways and naturally our efforts elicit different results."... Yes, great point. In my opinion the work that Digital Nation and The Beat Junkies are do is very raw and urban, and they are "come as you are" type of events. People are allowed to be fun and silly. To me that has a shine all over it. The work you and Bridgitte do is wonderful and fun, and it fulfills the needs and desires of many who are longing for great tunes and a good time with good people. Don't forget the grass may seem greener on the other side, but you are in the command sit of your own greening. The work you do in SL can't be compared or judged, it's unique and special. The social scene that has grown out of your events can't be discounted or devalued. Motley this crew many be, but never the less they are a dynamic and interesting bunch. Keep up the good work Miss Queen Bee! =]
