Buy poses and make my son famous.

Alright boys and girls, I have in fact been working on hair; however, I am waiting to release some of them for special reasons (secrets, yay!). So, to tide my PUDGE peeps over I decided to release some poses.

For any of you who make poses you'll know very well how hard it can be to come up with new ideas constantly. It's damn exhausting is what it is! So, I enlisted help from my 8-year-old son Nigel to pose for me while I created some new magic. It's genius; seriously, I couldn't have come up with some of the stuff he did.

Come on over to PUDGE at The Starlust Motel and pick up the new PUDGE pose fat pack (350L) OR if you're so inclined you can check out my brand new individual pose vendors!! You heard me right, I finally got off my lazy butt and put out vendors so you can buy one pose at a time (35L per pose)! I put out every single pose I've ever made in my new individual vendors so come on over and pose like Madonna in a bad video from the 1990's.

Oh, and on an unrelated note to those that care, my foot is still ouch but I'm doing OK. I went to the orthopedic doc and was given a walking cast and an order to stay off my foot for a bit. I have to go back to work on the 4th of July but until then I have been keeping myself busy going insane due to some form of Cabin Fever. Nice.

Octopus's Garden in the Seaaaa.

So it's that time of the week, time to release new hair that is! My newest creation is the "Octopus Ponytail". It's a whole lotta wacky but cute none the less. Unfortunately I don't have a lot of time to elaborate on it's positive qualities beyond "wacky but cute" because I have to head out to an appointment with the orthopedic doctor (we finally get to see what happens from this point on in the fractured foot saga). So, I leave you with a picture of my fantastical new hair and many virtual kissies to warm your angel heart.

Mmm Cotton Candy!

Who doesn't love cotton candy? Hell, I'd give my right foot for some right now (granted my right foot is fractured so that wouldn't be too big a sacrifice). I made this hair with the help of prescription painkillers (that were prescribed to me for my foot pain thank you very much, haha) and I think that's obvious. I also think it's beautiful. Only 50L for 12 hair colors and you can walk around looking like some amazing sugary creation! This hair is at the Starlust Motel PUDGE location only for now (until I feel motivated to stick it other places).

Oh also, my birthday is June 21st (Saturday) so I will be gone for part of the weekend. I shall be attending a glorious "Mustaches and Cupcakes" party thrown in my honor by my charming and adorable friends. In case you were wondering I do accept lavish gifts and treats if you so desire giving them, hahahhaha.

On Friday I have to go to the orthopedic physician to see what needs to be done with my foot from this point forward (up until now I've been hobbling around on crutches with the foot brace given to me by the doctor at the emergency room). Here's to hoping he can pull some Mr.Miagi action (reference: The Karate Kid) and just fix it with some crazy karate magic (I'm sure all orthopedic physicians know karate magic).

I will be releasing a hair called "The Octopus Ponytail" either tomorrow or Saturday morning so stay tuned my darlingsssss.

I fell downz:(

Let me tell you a story of a clumsy girl who thought she knew how to walk properly. Well, the other night this girl (after polishing up a 2 am email to a friend) stood up too fast, spun around and her foot rolled under her weight making an ever so lovely "crunch" noise. The girl dropped to the ground and made unflattering sounds that signified that she was in pain. After making these pain/goat noises for a minute she looked at her foot to evaluate the damage; well, it was swollen and looking reddish purple (so cute!).

After some amount of passing time (could have been two minutes or two hours)the girl managed to hobble back to her bedroom where she woke up her husband and demanded that he magically fix her foot. Alas, the husband (although incredibly good looking and hunky) could not do this for her. The husband promised he would take her to the doctor once he got home from work later that day.

Ok, to make this ridiculously long story short turns out the girl (me) has a fractured foot. After 5 hours in the emergency room, some x-rays, and some unceremonious foot prodding the doctor told me that I have a fracture of some nature BUT I need to go see an orthopedic specialist to determine what needs to be done. So fun. Thankfully my birthday is June 21st and some girlfriends and I are getting together for some hoots and hollers no matter what (although bar hopping is now out of the question since I'm not too mobile, haha).

So I'm doped up on painkillers, hobbling around on crutches trying to keep up with my kids, and nursing a hurt foot. I did manage to make some hair the day before I screwed up my foot and I've put it out at the Starlust Motel location ONLY because I'm wayyyy too out of it and feeling too crummy to do much work; however, I really wanted to get it out there for you guys. I will put it out at my other locations sometime in the future.

The hair is called "Drunk Loretta and the Tri Balls". It's pretty fun and wacky hair that has optional bangs to allow for two different looks! Go on over to the starlust motel and try a demo. I even made it so that the demo bangs are detachable so you can get an accurate idea of how versatile this hair is:)

Cheers darlings!!

60's hair all up on yo skull.

You know what's neat? Being fabulous. Not just anyone can be fabulous. I hear your mom is pretty fabulous (oh my, what a woman), but are YOU? Well, when I think of being fabulous a certain era comes to mind. That era my friends is the 1960's. Sure, the 50's were great, everyone loves gigantic rolled coifs, dramatic A-line dresses, and cat eye glasses; however, it seems like so often the fabulous 1960's get overlooked in the land of contemporary fashion (or if we do remember them we only seem to recall garish prints, peace signs, and circular "John Lennon" style glasses).

I conjure images in my mind of massive creations that took 5 cans of ultra hold Eco-non-friendly hairsprays to maintain. Where they boxed your head into a dome of style unparalleled by anything in today's hair arsenal. Fabulous women strutting the streets of the world decked out in sleek calf high boots, ultra-mini skirts, and flawlessly sculpted hair-do's.

For you, my darlings, I've released a hairstyle called "Maude the Mod". This hair is not for the faint of fashion heart. It is big and commands attention! Heck, I don't think big even describes it properly...it's PREGNANT with FABULOUSNESSS.

Come on down to PUDGE at the Starlust Motel today and snag a pack. (Will be available at other locations soon).

OH! Before I forget. My friend Melatonin Hax of Thimbles and ::Split Pea:: made an AMAZING headband specifically for this hair. I offer an optional bow for the hair; but I'm going to be frank kids, her headband blows my bow out of the water! It is SO cute and has color change scrips in EACH petal of the flower so that you can do endless amounts of patterns and fun stuff. It will be offered this weekend at PUDGE and at ::Split Pea:: (once Mel makes a fabulous ad for it since she just finished it this evening). But I just wanted to let you know, because it's hecka hecka cute. Here's a sneaky peeky.

When it rains, it pours. More on "fatism" in Second Life(TM)

So with the whole pro-ana vs. body acceptance thing floating about like a bizarre rain cloud it's been a weird week. A friend and I were recently having a conversation about the ridiculous nature of some television programs that try to send a "fat positive" message by making Tyra Banks (or anyone else) dress in a "fat suit" for a day to see how people treat them.

I personally find these shows highly amusing considering the way in which they comically dress these women up and not only make them fat, but also make them look absolutely ridiculous. And in all the years I've been fat I've only ever faced discrimination based on being so in games like THERE or Second Life(TM), and that I think the depictions of an average day in a fat person's life in these shows are inaccurate. I don't know if there is some higher force trying to cosmically prove me wrong for saying those programs are a little exaggerated because this week has been nothing but fat comments and bizarre "fatism" (fatism is defined as discrimination against someone for being overweight).

This week I have, in real life, been called fat twice. The first time I was doing some grocery shopping very late at night (about 1 a.m.) and happened by a fellow who took it upon himself to state loudly, "Hey lady, nice fat ass". Now, the tone of his voice indicated this could have been either a compliment OR an insult; however, either way I wasn't super impressed.

Then as I was walking outside to take a break at work the other day there were a group of three men sitting outside smoking and one audibly commented "Fat ass girl" as I walked by. I'm not sure if people assume being fat also means I'm deaf too...as though cellulite is clogging my ear canals or something.

So I guess I wasn't super surprised when today in Second Life (TM) I was introduced to an absolutely delightful individual by the name of Drewseph Dinosaur. I happened upon this individual because I was standing outside of my PUDGE shop at the Starlust Motel. I was contemplating moving some vendors around and such when he meandered up to me and started to talk.

The conversation that took place between he and I is a perfect example of what I have encountered several times in Second Life (and other games) because of my avatar's size. It seems as though people have less of an internal dialogue based on the anonymity of games like these. I can see how that may be liberating in many ways (maybe for people who feel they can't express themselves properly in real life) but it also seems to make some people lose a sense of responsibility toward respect for other individuals and their feelings. Granted, I took nothing this individual said to heart because I honestly could care less if someone thinks I'm fat (I mean, no duh, I'm fat). But it does bother me that people think it's ok to randomly harass people without instigation.

You will notice that I asked Drewseph Dinosaur for his express permission to quote him in my blog. I didn't think it was fair to record and post a conversation without the permission of the individuals involved. I was granted permission and have proof of such (see convo below).
Note also in the conversation the part when I was told that I must have been "asking for" discrimination based on the fact that my avatar is fat and my shop is a gigantic hamburger. Alas...

I have "bleeped out" the cuss words for the sake that I may have underage readers.

[23:42] Drewseph Dinosaur: IS THIS A F**** BURGER!?
[23:42]You: It's not just any burger, it is in fact a f**** burger.
[23:42] Drewseph Dinosaur: F*** YEAH!

At this point he left for a bit, only to return moments later with two friends.

0:02] Drewseph Dinosaur: OH

[0:03] You: True that sir.

[0:04] Stein Shilova: Drew, you are being a d**k
[0:04] Drewseph Dinosaur: WHICH WOULD YOU PREFER
[0:04] You: Well, i do have an actual name.
[0:04] Kaylah Debevec hands him a burger, "Here.. eats"

(At this point I say something to the effect of, "Well done on being the first person in all of SL to notice I'm fat" but my text kept not showing up for me, so I figured i would try to fill in for you a bit).

[0:05] Drewseph Dinosaur: forgive me
[0:05] Drewseph Dinosaur: but i'm probably not
[0:05] You: You shall get an award for "pointing out the obvious"
[0:07] You: Well you're obviously bothered by the fact that i'm fat, although obviously I'm not (or I wouldn't have chosen to be this way). I'm curious, what is it about it that bothers you so?
[0:07] Thursday Schism: I can't walk at all on my lappy
[0:07] Kaylah Debevec: SIssy... we found burgers -hands her a boring french fry-
[0:07] Thursday Schism: :o
[0:07] Drewseph Dinosaur: you don't bother me
[0:07] Thursday Schism: Oooh, burgers and drama! Pass me the popcorn[0:07] Drewseph Dinosaur: this burger bothers me
[0:07] Kaylah Debevec get it out
[0:07] Drewseph Dinosaur: its....too big for me to eat in one bite!
[0:07] You: what about my burger bothers you?
[0:08] Kaylah Debevec whispers, He did it, i just thought the burger was neat[0:09] Drewseph Dinosaur shrugs "I'm just curious as to how this burger still stands. Don't you guys eat it when you're hungry?"
[0:09] Thursday Schism noms on her frosted flakes and watches intently
[0:09] You: Do you eat when you're hungry?
[0:10] You: Is that not a normal human response to do so?
[0:10] Drewseph Dinosaur: duh...which is wh i'm asking why you haven't eaten this burger when you were hungry
[0:10] Drewseph Dinosaur: fair question.
[0:10] You: Well, seeing as it's a virtual burger in a virtual game
[0:11] You: I figure it's impossible to eat.
[0:11] You: Call me crazy.
[0:11] Thursday Schism facepalms
[0:11] Thursday Schism: He is kidding lady.
[0:11] Kaylah Debevec munches her pixel popcorn with interest
[0:11] You: was he also kidding when he called me "f*****g fatty burger watching woman?"
[0:12] Stein Shilova: I think that you all should take your har dee har har attitudes and popcorn and leave.
[0:12] Stein Shilova: now
[0:12] Thursday Schism: probably, he's a d****e bag
[0:12] Drewseph Dinosaur: what was that skinny?
[0:12] Thursday Schism groans
[0:12] You: This is still quotable correct?
[0:12] Thursday Schism: <3s Drewbie
[0:13] Thursday Schism: him being a d****e?
[0:13] You: yes, I can see why. He's positively charming.
[0:13] Thursday Schism: It's mostly cause he's a tomcat in the sack, yanno[0:14] Kaylah Debevec groans and rolls her eyes
[0:14] Thursday Schism's shoulders shrug. "What, he's good."
[0:14] Stein Shilova: well he should be, he's a big enough d**k
[0:14] Thursday Schism smirks.
[0:14] Drewseph Dinosaur: angry inch!
[0:15] Kaylah Debevec tugs them, Can we go now??
[0:15] Thursday Schism: But, i like the smell of the burger...
[0:15] Kaylah Debevec blinks, YOUR A VEGGIE HEAD
[0:15] Thursday Schism: xDxDxD
[0:15] Kaylah Debevec giggles
[0:16] Drewseph Dinosaur: doesn't mean she can't sniff
[0:16] Thursday Schism: JUST LEMME EAT MY FROSTED FLAKES BISH[0:16] You: So, im going to ask again, is this conversation quotable, because it's going to be incredibly appropriate for my more recent blogging.
[0:16] Kaylah Debevec eeeeeps
[0:16] Kaylah Debevec shrugs
[0:16] Drewseph Dinosaur: depends what you're gonna do with it
[0:16] Thursday Schism: Oh sure, go ahead. You spell my name T-h-u- xD j/p[0:16] You: I'm more then happy to change names
[0:17] Kaylah Debevec: Put it on her blog der.. good in bed boy
[0:17] Thursday Schism: Make my name Wednesday!
[0:17] You: I'm going to use it to prove a point about some people's reactions to fat avatars.
[0:17] Kaylah Debevec cracks up and licks her, Dork
[0:17] You: Granted, the ladies have said nothing against anything.
[0:17] Drewseph Dinosaur: make me famous on the interwebs
[0:17] Thursday Schism: Well, that's because Kaly's thighs are huge
[0:18] Thursday Schism: <33333

[0:19] Kaylah Debevec is just nosey and curious
[0:19] You: by all means
[0:20] Kaylah Debevec: Ok.. I can see being a bit larger than average on her.. would make for an interesting experiment
[0:20] Kaylah Debevec: Bu*here
[0:20] You: It's not an experiment actually
[0:20] You: shit, my text keeps not showing up
[0:20] Kaylah Debevec: Okay.. then fine.. being more yourself than some are willing to be..
[0:21] Kaylah Debevec smiles, It did
[0:21] You: this is my normal shape
[0:21] Stein Shilova: I'm guessing that neither of you ladies look exactly like your avatars...
[0:21] You: oh see, its all coming out of order for me. So wierd.
[0:21] Kaylah Debevec: lag.. -shakes her fist at sl-
[0:22] Thursday Schism shrugs. "I see nothing wrong with pudge avs, hell, i have the cutest neko alt that's about 5'8" and plump as hell. But uhh... making a chubby av and hanging out at a burger? Kinda asking for something."
[0:22] Drewseph Dinosaur sits on thursday's shoulder?
[0:22] You: Well
[0:22] You: the burger
[0:22] You: is my shop
[0:22] Kaylah Debevec hides her rl tail
[0:22] Drewseph Dinosaur: clearly
[0:22] Drewseph Dinosaur: wellt hey don't have tails or puppy aers
[0:22] You: And i dont think doing anything of the nature
[0:22] You: is "asking for something"
[0:22] Stein Shilova: she isn't hanging out here
[0:22] You: that would be like saying
[0:22] You: because you wear kitty ears
[0:22] You: i should make fun of you
[0:22] Thursday Schism: PUPPY!
[0:22] You: for being unrealistic
[0:22] Thursday Schism: And go right ahead.
[0:22] Thursday Schism: xD
[0:22] Stein Shilova: so if you guys are hanging around a litterbox, that would just leave you open for jokes?
[0:22] You: I choose not to.
[0:23] Thursday Schism: Yeah.
[0:23] You: I don't think anyone is "asking for something" by doing something they enjoy
[0:23] You: obviously my store name is tounge in cheek. And my avatar is fat[0:23] You: but
[0:23] You: calling someone a f*****g fatty
[0:23] You: is a whole other cup of tea
[0:23] You: and uncalled for
[0:23] You: I wouldn't say something degrading based on what you wear or are[0:23] You: even if i thought it was unappealing
[0:24] Drewseph Dinosaur: ................................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!![0:24] Kaylah Debevec drags drew back by his leash
[0:24] Drewseph Dinosaur: \m/ ';,,,;' \m/ - AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! - \m/ ';,,,;' \m/
[0:24] You: and wouldn't think you were "asking for it"
[0:24] Drewseph Dinosaur: Its body is covered in hundreds of wires!!!!
[0:24] Kaylah Debevec: down boy
[0:24] Drewseph Dinosaur: The mouth attempts to speak but, only murmers collapse from its jaws!!!!
[0:24] Thursday Schism: oh noes!
[0:24] Drewseph Dinosaur: \m/ ';,,,;' \m/!!!!!!![0:24] Drewseph Dinosaur: \m/ ';,,,;' \m/!!!!!!![0:24] Kaylah Debevec facepalms

At this point they all teleported away. I just thought that everyone may benefit from seeing first hand what it is like sometimes when you represent yourself in a true-to-life way via a platform like Second Life(TM).
