Happy St Georges Day

St George, as I'm sure you all know, is the dragon-slaying Patron Saint of England, and today ... the 23rd April ...  is his special day.

Now, in my opinion, St George has had a bit of a raw deal. Just off to the west a bit, lives Saint Patrick. When Saint Patrick's day comes around, those Irish people really know how to party. Dying the rivers green, dressing up with silly leprechaun hats, and drinking lots and lots of Guinness. Saint Paddy gets celebrated in style.

What does St George get by way of celebration? Well, not a lot really. And I mean... the dude was a DRAGON SLAYER!!! how cool is that??  All Saint Paddy ever did was chase some snakes into the irish sea or something (and it's not like we even have particularly deadly snakes here on the western isles of europe) .... meanwhile, Saint George kicks a dragon's butt, rescues a princess, and gets martyred on a wheel of swords (which took THREE attempts to finish him off, because he was so HARD!) ... but most the population of England couldn't even tell you what day of the year his saint's day is... never mind celebrate the dude!

Anyway, in the interests of promoting sexual debauchery in the name of quasi-mythic religous figures, I've dropped the price of the St George's Flag bikini at LapGirl Boutique to 1L$, for one day only. Regular selling price isL$90, so that's a pretty good bargain, IMHO... even if you don't fancy wearing the whole outfit, the thong alone is a steal at that price!

Guaranteed hawt enough to knock a dragon dead at 100 paces...

Represent fo' Saint G!

Hello? Hello? Is this thing on?

Sorry... I've been a bit lax updating for a couple of weeks... but I have a good excuse!

I'm typing this update on my shiny new MacBook pro :)  ...Having been a full-time PC user for the last 15 years or so, I figured it was about time for a change. After all, it never pays to get stuck in a rut, right? So, here I am. Sitting on the other side of the church. And *my* it's a comfy seat over here.

Normal service will be resumed just as soon as I get bored of playing with all the new bells and whistles.  In the meantime, here's a lolcat that Iris sent to me yesterday... on the grounds that it reminded her of somebody...

Is it safe to come out yet?

(Also: I'm off to buy a new computer today. If I'm not around for a while, blame "transitional issues" ;) )

Spring has Sprung...

...and - in the traditional season of creativity - I've been inspired with a rather neat idea for a brand new Lucky Designs attraction. As usual, it's a little bit more ambitious than preceding Lucky productions ... this time involving some off-world server-based gubbins to keep everything ticking over (which should be entirely transparent to owners/end-users, so don't worry!). The challenge of remembering how to write php scripts and SQL back-ends has been keeping me busy/amused (delete as appropriate) for most of this week. Just as well, really, considering how awful the server stability in everybody's-favourite-virtual-world has been for the last fortnight or so - at least I've had *something* stable to work on :P

* * * * * * *

Also - continuing the "spring" theme - I promised I'd pimp my new favourite stalker's spring fashion show here on my blog. So, without further ado:

(Just in case you can't make it out, that landmark is Plush Rho 61,146 - but I'm sure you'll be able to search for the location via "VR Designs").

If you're at a loose end tomorrow, I'd definitely suggest giving this show a look ... and that's *not* because VictoriaRose seems to be single-handedly keeping the BidBox market afloat *cough* ... but rather because I had a sneak preview of some of the outfits earlier this week... and her leopardprint minidress ("Daria"?) is definitely one to watch out for! ;)

(Not to mention the fact that the show is going to be presented on one of the most subconsciously Freudian catwalks that I've seen in a *long* time... )
