The Underground - It's about the music

Sometime in recent history Briddy Boucher (pronounced boo-shay) and meh-self decided that we needed to take over the world. Wait. I mean we needed a little organization to help our efforts for world domination. Wait. I mean that we had to find some way to corral the madness of what we do and bring it to the people.

It's not just about what I'm doing. Or the work that Briddy does (and yes, when she's not busy eating she does work.) It's about the people we do it with. We wanted a place to bring everyone together to join in the fun, to celebrate the inane, and to gesturbate at will.

And thus The Underground was born. The group charter of The Underground says it best:
It's about the music. We spend our days and nights enjoying good tunes with good friends. We do it where you might not expect but it always feels so good!

On Wednesday, November 26, 2008 at 7 p.m. we celebrate our 100th member, GW Raymaker aka Mr. 100. NOTE: It's really not so much about having 100 members but rather a great excuse to give out a sausage cart, a TRUTH gift certificate, get GW in tight shorts, and to pah-tay like it's November 26Th!! woot!!

For a good time IM Queen Coronet or Bridgitte Boucher!!

Thank you, friends!

Last night I enjoyed the great pleasure of celebrating my 2nd rezzday with an incredible group of people. Thank you Bridgitte Boucher for putting it all together.  You're a great friend and I'm blessed to have you in my lives. Thank you to all my friends that came to wish me a happy rezzday and for the fanstatic pressies you bestowed upon me.  Your presence made me feel loved and appreciated.  *smiles with warm thoughts* Thank you Snowkitty and Genki for your amazing tunes. You helped to make this a memorable night. 

If I could have one thing for my rezzday it would  be more time to get to know the people around me.  Behind the avatar you are all incredible in your own way and I'm happy you've touched my life. 

Pretty Briddy:
I have friends:
See more great piccies of the party here.

Pearls of Wisdom - To each his own

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.

Kinky Insta-party @ Digital Nation

It all started when Digital moved the bar at Digital Nation HQ. What do we do with the extra space, Queenie Pie? I mulled it over for a few minutes and thought I'd put up a few walls just to gauge the space. And then a little voice said, "this rooms needs a dance pole." "Right," I answered and continued my work until eventually I had a cozy little strip joint which I will henceforth refer to as my office. Naturally when one has an office there must be meetings, so I convened a meeting at Digital Nation HQ.

First to arrive was Thrill McMillan, Chairman of The Gangbang Committee.  Here we are taking a few minutes to pose for a photo-op.

Shortly thereafter Tammie Slade, Director of the "I'll try anything once" Division, dropped in to try out the poles. Errr...umm...the dance poles.  Solange Daviau , Fashion Advisor to DN, did a wonderful demonstration of latex quick change as well as a workshop on "backing that thang up".  Kandy Rousell acted as Seargant at Arms with her delightful He-manesque flower power (ask her to show you.  It's adorable.)  Bridgitte "The Diva" Boucher, my Entertainment Co-Chair, wasn't there more than a few minutes before she was stripped down to a teeny bra and panties and tickling the Board of Directors with her feathers.  Yes, the entire Board!! That girl got game!  And of course Digital Francis, DJ as well as Administrator of Kink, was present to demonstrate the proper way to bite down on a badonkadonk.

It wasn't long before several more people arrived including DJ Init Hubble.  He started by sexing up the joint in his long flowing cape, bag over his head and loin cloth.  That man really knows how to work the ladies!  He had an itch to spin so we cranked up the tunes and got it on at DNHQ!!  During the next few hours in my office we debated the benefits of the hard gay hooooooo!!, tested the new furniture for durability, and vigorously advocated our positions on life after crash.  

There's something so joyous about an insta-party.  I love when an event transforms organically from a small gathering of friends in their undies to a life size event with a nearly full sim.  At it's peak the place was a hot mess of avies, with pixels flying in every direction and I wouldn't have had it any other way.  I love Digital so much cuz he indulges me when it comes to this sort of insanity, and i love my friends for taking the ride with me.  AND, i love the new friends we meet along the way that aren't afraid to jump in and share a few of their nuts with us.  N V T S, nuts!!

Kandy's Steampunk Airship Extravaganza!!

In my spare time I work with Bridgitte Boucher a.k.a. P Briddy to organize and host events, things, happenings.  So, when our good friend Kandy "The Steampunk Doll" Rousell was ready to open her Steampunk Air Ship to the masses we were happy to help.  I love a good party. I love it more when it's on a dirigible!!

One of the great aspects of SL is the opportunity to explore our imaginations and stretch our creative skills.  For example, parties give me an opportunity to play in Photoshop.  heeeeee!  I once had an art teacher that was always after me to push the levels.  Huh? One of the joys of exploring Photoshop is how easily I can slide the scales, push the buttons, tears things apart and put them back if needed all in the name of pushing my levels.  I did that for the invite i created for the party and I'm thinking it turned out ok.  Here it is:

Check out this little crowned bee in the corner!! When you see this logo you'll know this event was orchestrated by QC (that's me) and the Bee (Bridgitte Boucher) in our everlasting endeavor to bring the party to the people. 

And here she is now . . .

DJ Briddy "The Diva" Boucher KILLED IT!!! And she did it all while looking like a Steampunk fox!!! 

UPDATE: Briddy shares her MIX here!!!!

DJ Jasminx Saenz (House Divaz) dug it up and killed it again!! And lookin' fine while she did it!

Ohhh, who's this hottie? Oh! It's me!! During the after party I wandered around looking for trouble and found this nice lil' pole for ....um....exercising?  Shame though, I couldn't even give a lap dance away!! What the heck? Maybe it was the hat?
