2010-present. I spend my time building, building and also building. I shop a lot, assemble outfits, and try to be a source of much mirth and merriment. (Some people say I'm the most trying person they know! Success!) But most importantly, I've made good friends over the years and am having hell-a fun.

The Answer Is Yes
The question? Has this outfit simply been updated, or is it new? The answer is yes. The dress and panties are the same. New: hair and boots. It's like those products advertised as "new and improved." Can it be both new and improved? The answer is yes.

What Secrets Would Hello Kitty Tell If She Had A Mouth?
Anthropomorphized white cat. Red bow. No mouth. Full name: Kitty White. But, why no mouth? Think about this. Hello Kitty was first known only as "the white kitten with no name." No name? No mouth? Suspicious. What secrets might Hello Kitty tell if she could?
Maybe the life of Hello Kitty is not really all that cute. For example, among the over 50,000 different types of official merchandise is the Hello Kitty custom printed toilet paper. [1] Hey kids! Wipe your butt with Hello Kitty's face! Ya, cute as hell. Also, Hello Kitty braces. Ironic, but also a particularly cruel thing to do to a cartoon creature with no mouth.
But I digress. The oh HELLO shop now has an outfit featuring Hello Kitty themed tights. The matching top is included even though its not used in this outfit.
Hey! No need to keep it a secret! You can find the oh HELLO Kitty outfit here:

With A Lot Of Help From My Friends
This update was made possible because of the kindness of Susannah.Avonside. She, and others, shared outfits they had from oh HELLO that I had lost after a grid crash. I was surprised and flattered that at least a couple of folks had the complete collection of oh HELLO outfits. That not only helped me restore outfits to the shop, but also to restore my inventory.
As I've said, oh HELLO is a great place for people with new accounts to shop. Not only do you get carefully curated outfits, you also get fat-packs, which can quickly build up your inventory. I know this to be true because that is what I did after I lost all of my inventory. Since that time, thanks to oh HELLO, and thanks to friends like Susannah, I now have about 80 outfits in my inventory.
Even if you have all of the outfits from before the crash, come visit the shop to have a look at updated outfits like this.

No Certificate of Sportiness Required
I'm all atwitter (verified!) about the HG Safari Tour of Aether tomorrow (check event notices) I've even assembled a new out for for it.
My beloved Pop was in the habit of calling guys "sport" (unless he was calling a bald person "curly" -- but that's another story). Which is relevant, I suppose, as this outfit includes a fat-pack of "sport sneakers." And its all yours, sneakers and all, no certificate of sportiness required. And if you are bald? Well, the outfit includes hair, sport.

Well, well,well. What do we have here? The Iris pink Plastic mini skirt and top. Booties (tinted pink by moi) from the R2 KOHARU Dress silver outfit. The R. Lion-Bebe Hair fat pack, part of a huge collection available soon on the CopyKat Grid. Also, jewelry.
But the coolest of that is the PUNCH _ Starry Night _ Collarbone piercing. I found it about three years ago at some shop I've now forgotten. I haven't seen this piercing in any shop since. Dare I say it? This is a rare object and, as far as I can tell, now only available at oh HELLO.

More Than Just A Band
A friend of the band that became the Talking Heads found a glossary of terms used by television cameramen. One of these was ‘talking head’, for a shot of the head and shoulders of a television commentator. These are the people on news shows that the anchor brings in to discuss a specific subject on which they are considered experts. It is said to be the most boring but also the most informative format in TV. (Kind of like this post. Boring but informative!) Well, I have a confession to make. I've always wanted to be a talking head on TV...and now I am! Happy Halloween!

Are You Actually A Dragon In Real Life?
When I meet an AV that looks like a dragon, I always ask them to voice verify. They have to literally melt my speakers for me to believe they are as they present themselves to be. I've never had that happen - which, truthfully, is disappointing. I mean, who would not want to meet an actual dragon?
Even if it doesn't melt your speakers, in-world voice can present a problem. Some people don't seem to understand that Open Sim is not a dating site. It is not a hook-up site. And it can be more than a costume party chat site. At it's best, OS is an immersive world for role-play. And most people don't have the voice and/or the acting ability for the role they are playing. At best, in-world voice is a distraction. At worse, it can make it impossible to deeply and actively engage.
In truth, our avatar is but a pixel puppet. For some reason there can be an extraordinary interest, by some, in who exactly is pulling the strings. I just treat people as they present themselves in-world. Anything else ruins the show many of us take a part in creating.

Someone is hard at work on CK Alt Island!
And all the hard work is paying off! We had 8 people here all at once on day two. That's like what? 5% of all the AVs in OS?
It's all because of the the aura of Adachi. Drawing people here like bears to honey. Like moths to a flame. Like serial killers to college sororities. (OK, maybe not the last one. That's from some movie or something).
Although we don't have Adachi here, we have many of the great people from the CK grid, with more showing up every day. Pop in and pay us a visit.

"Made In SL. Modified in OS."
Create: to produce (something new, such as a work of art) by using your talents and imagination.
Contribute: to help to cause something to happen.
The Britannica Dictionary
When you copybot, import, and modify something from SL, you are a (most likely uninvited and unwelcome) contributor to something someone else created.
When you can provide proof you are the creator of, and not just a contributor to, an item in OS, then it can be said that you are a verified creator.
Synonyms of Verified:
incontestable, incontrovertible, indisputable, indubitable, inescapable, irrefutable, undeniable, unquestionable, authenticated, confirmed, demonstrated, established, proven, substantiated, validated, actual, factual, genuine, real, sure-enough, true.
https://www.merriam-webster.com/thesaurus/verified
When you ask that your "creation" not be distributed in OS, it's fair to ask to see
1. Validation you are the creator or
2. Validation that you have permission to copy, modify and exclusively distribute something someone else created.
Unfortunately, there is no organized verification or certification process. (Is it even possible?)
Lacking this verification, simply claiming to be the creator of, or contributor to, an item gives you no rights over it.

AI in OS?
Is there a tool to equip NPCs with the ability to become text-based chat-bots, powered by AI?
About 15 years ago, this could be done in SL using accounts linked to a free on-line, early form of, AI. It would only respond to IMs. I used one as a public chat greeter bot at my club which could also chat with users via IM.
Now, we can download the open-source language models (I've head of GPT-J and GPT-3 for example). Perhaps AI powered chat-bots could learn OS speak by reading open chat. How would it know when to respond in open chat without spamming the conversation?
(I'm an idea person and have no technical knowledge in this area, so all this is speculation).
Firestorm already has a setting to listen for your name and, when it reads it, color the text and, if you like, play an alert sound. The NPC could listen for it's name and respond to that, and that only, in open chat.
About 15 years ago, this could be done in SL using accounts linked to a free on-line, early form of, AI. It would only respond to IMs. I used one as a public chat greeter bot at my club which could also chat with users via IM.
Now, we can download the open-source language models (I've head of GPT-J and GPT-3 for example). Perhaps AI powered chat-bots could learn OS speak by reading open chat. How would it know when to respond in open chat without spamming the conversation?

Bad Event Idea #2: The Best in Taking Common Idioms Literally
What is an idiom? No, it's not a very stupid person. That would be an idiot. The praise "it's raining cats and dogs" is a common English idiom. Literally, that sentence would mean animals are falling from the clouds. What the idiom actually means is that it is raining very heavily. But, why should we care about what the idiom actually means? At the "Best in Taking Common Idioms Literally" Event, we want to see someone make animals, specifically canines and felines, fall from the clouds.
Taking Common Idioms Literally is not all that hard, really. "Break a leg?" Just have an alt on hand with a baseball bat. "Get bent out of shape?" Just have an alt on hand with a baseball bat. "Going batty?" You could literally transform yourself into bat (or what some call "a rat with wings"). Or you could artfully express both the idiomatic and literal meaning of "going batty" by having a mentally deranged alt on hand with a baseball bat. Works for me!
The prize? A cake! What will you do to get everyone to say "that takes the cake"? Have a gander at 150 Common & Difficult Idioms with Examples

"I Am So".
Whether it's inattention, inertia, ineptitude, or some other kind of in-thing, all too many people are lacking a profile picture. Are you to be counted among these unfortunates? Or perhaps you have grown tired of your profile picture and are looking for something a bit more...different.
Problem solved. Come to our new Profile Picture Shop where you have your choice of countless (mainly because I'm too lazy to count) interesting, intriguing, inexplicable, or some other kind of in-thing, profile pictures.
Some call me weird, to which I say, "I am so!" These pictures may be suitable for display in your home if not your profile. Whatever the case, just be ready to say, "I am so!"
Visit the new Profile Picture Shop, especially if you are bored and have nothing better to do. (Which is kinda why I made the shop!)

The Body of Light Mediation takes place in the sky on a newly installed set of disks. Use the large mandala on the ground to reach the airborne center disk. Use a meditation pad there, or sit on one of the disks rotating around the center. On each disk is a statue made by artist Cherry Manga that you sit within. It's an experience without parallel.
The installation was inspired by this section from The Cloth of the Tempest by poet Kenneth Patchen.
These of living emanate a formidable light,
Which is equal to death, and when used
Gives increase eternally.
What fortifies in separate thought
Is not drawn by wind or by man defiled.
So whispers the parable of doubleness.
As it is necessary not to submit
To power which weakens the hidden forms;
It is extraordinarily more essential
Not to deny welcome to these originating forces
When they gather within our heat
To give us habitation.
The one life must be attempted with the other,
That we may embark upon the fiery work
For which we were certainly made.
The Body of Light Experience @ the Eros Yoga Center
Set the world to sunrise. Enable the music stream. Be prepared to be transported.

It's been advised that every region owner protect themselves by having an OAR of their land. Wise advice, and something to be considered when renting a region, for example, on AviTron. Also advised: Have a copy of your account IAR. What does Alex have to say about this?

GothicShopSo much consternation and questioning about what viewers are allowed at GothicShop. Scheesh. It's so simple. Look at the name people. Gothic! If your viewer is not German and was not created in the middle ages, then you are BANNED. BANNED I tell you. You are BANNED!

ShantiIn OS, there is the absurd Zen Greedy table. The person who created this has no concept of Zen. Too often people with no understanding of an Eastern religion misuse it's terminology like this. (Sorry, Mr. Lennon. There is no such thing as "Instant Karma.)" Shanti, (a Sanskrit term meaning "peace.") is a place that seems to be in alignment with the meaning and significance of it's name.

Here is another person who hates Avitron and is part of the scam they invented about selling objects for real money. She is part of the group of Russians who hack computers and bring the copybot here. You have to be careful with these people, they are very well organized and they are between us in jungle friends in copykat and in matrix
