Today (23 Dec 08) was eventful day. Very. I was trying to catch up on work for Club Sky holiday party – and I did finish my first wearable top as part of Kala’s present. (Unlikely Kala will read this before she opens it up) :p
Well, I’m just getting so many friends inworld that the minute I rez in…. they are on the IM, and there is so much fun stuff to do with them. Out of the blue, through one of my group memberships comes an invite to a roundtable discussion with….
drumroll….. Pathfinder Linden! wow.
well just had to take that one, and hung out for an hour with others in the educational SL world and had a roundtable about what is new, big, and coming for 2009 for those in the ed biz. Not expecting to have that little session, time was creeping away from me and realized I had nuthin’ to wear to Xmas Club Sky party. Not that I hadn’t already worn at least twice while working, and I *knew* that it was going to be a serious fashion show. My best friend, Weave, (unexpectedly) send me a holiday shower of Lindens and so I was able to buy a fab green dress from Sparkle Skye on Imagination
The holiday party at Club Sky was nice. AnthonyPhilip stopped in, even though in his time zone it meant a *very* late night. So did a wee samurai fox and his lady, and some other folks I did not know. There was a contest for the best Holiday Gown, and …. I won. I won. {sigh} I am nearly always surprised when this happens. I was pleased that folks liked my Princess Elizabeth look. I was also happy in finding the green gown I had been looking weeks for that was going to useful far beyond the festive season. Renaissance Island here I come.
Most folks drifted off at 8pm SLT or so, and Quan and I still were up for the rounds, and once again my new great friend has scored a home run. Bailer’s … Bailer’s Island. Kween dropped in in a bit, and we were having a great time. And I was increasing my contemporary country repertoire, thanx to Quan’s stream of requests to our DJ.

The last DJ came on and it was a scheduled “Best in Shorts” event. Yes, in December two days before the holidays gear up. I was quite certain I didn’t have any shorts whatsoever. Our event hostess cajoled folks to enter the contest, and primarily to prove to myself I was short-less, I searched my inventory. Sometime in my freebie scavenging, I had acquired cutoffs… and not being terribly fond of wearing them, had promptly forgotten about them. So I put them on, and switched my hat and boots to my fave black set. Much to my surprise, I tied for 1st place!!!!
