Busy days in RL

So, last few days I have been very busy in RL (busy/sick.... don't let me think about it!). And was almost never on sl.
That's not really bad if you just consider it as 'staying away from my biggest addiction'. BUT, lately I had started enjoying so much my time with Pall, that I missed him these last few days. I could barely talk to him during those short minutes I was online.
And now he's also busy building up a huge project he's had in mind for a long time (maybe even since we first met:)). I would be so happy to help him out a bit, with the little I can do...
Well, I can't right now... and I feel very sorry for it, cause he told me so much about this project, and now that he's seeing the thing coming alive, I am awfully filled with stuff to do. (I shouldn't even be on sl at any time!!! But my addiction doesn't allow me to quit so easily:))
That's it... Clio is so busy!!! I haven't seen anyone on sl for a LONG time now! All the times I was online I would just go around and place items in rental spaces, nothing more....
So, Pall... please forgive me for not coming to see you these days... you know I would have loved to... and I know you understand and say 'it's ok', but you also know I need to say 'sorry', everytime:)

Bye for now, people:)

News.... on romance:)

:)
Well... remember what I told you guys last time about me and Pall?
That he was helping me getting a little more open to romance, and to people, in general.
And so... we went on with our experiment of seeing if Clio can get to be romanceable... until we got to just meeting up almost everyday:)
Hehe, people... I don't know what to say about it... need to think it over, but for now I'll leave u a shot of one of our last nights together :)
Aren't we cute???
(and, thinking about it, it took 6 months to get to this... lol).

Just one little advice to all those girls out there that play hard-to-get: maybe one day you'll feel like letting go of the tough girl part, and if you'll be lucky enough, you won't be regretting it:)
AND, to those who always look for romance: it's ok to do that, but remember that the best things come when you least expect them... so don't give yourself away too easily, cause there might be someone out there worth waiting for:)

Romance (part one?)

Hehe, so... as you see my romance moments with Pall did NOT end:)
This is the 2 of us on his bed, again... and it's obvious we did go a little further (lol).
And now Pall will have to excuse me for all the "lol"s that will come out of my mouth while I go on telling you about our romance. You know I need to be laughing at stuff, Pall... so please don't be offended by it:)
So, anyways... since last update things went on as you can imagine from the picture. Pall can be so charming that any avie would melt (and me? lol... well, apart from laughing, I did think he was saying some very nice things). I am not an expert, you know by now, but I don't think that many people would get me to smile so broadly (and, look... I said "smile", not "laugh" :)).
It's funny to think of how hard it is for the most to express their feelings. Every guy, while kissing his girl, would naturally "wonder" with his lips on her face, over to the ears and neck. It's something all of us feel: a kind and (in some ways) pure showing of affection.
But how many people, while their avatar is kissing someone else's, would be able to type all the actions, making them real?
My friend is very modest: he says he's not a descriptive type of guy. But he managed to remind me RL sensations in a very nice way.
That's maybe the reason why people manage to get so close on SL. If someone is able to put in words and type down excatly what he would do in RL (of course, we're NOT considering the particular situation of someone who would not do those things... for any reason...), then the other does feel it. The two get all the good from it. And if they're not willing to make it something serious, then they are totally safe from any bad that could come: RL is still miles away from those kisses and cuddlings (and sex, too... why not?).
I don't know how having SL sex, or SL romancing in a general way, is like. The only person, who actually made me taste a little bit of it, is a very good friend, who's making me enjoy it very very much.
What I can say is: "I wish all the guys out there were as caring and sweet as he is "(lol). That would really make SL a wonderful place where to get something we can't get in RL.
Because, yes, in real world not everyone gets romanced the way we'd like to...and we all know that. I speak for myself.(cause, as you know, I am some kind of human icy-rock, who's never touched by anything related to feelings lol... ill from excessive rationality!!!).

So, well... I still have to think it over... This post is almot a non-sense little thing that came out my brain: I needed to write down some if this stuff before forgetting all the nice thoughts and feelings.
To pack up I just ask all the boys who'll be reading this (Pall... if you will, then you know it's not for you, cause you passed the test lol): please, do romance the ladies the way they want to be romanced. Saves a lot of time to you (LOL) and a LOT of pain to them.

Heyyyy!

Hahahaha, people!!! Did you think I died?

No?

Cause I have been away from this poor, nearly abandoned blog for a very long time!

And today I am (shortly) back to tell you pretty much what's been happening lately.

First... for all those people who've tried, as time passed by, to say I am a smart girl: you are wrong!!!

LOL, see this actually pretty good looking picture?

Well, the skin I wear was bought by MISTAKE! Yes, lol, you might not believe it, also cause I am such a demoshopper (have 2 zillions demos in my poor and awfully loaded inventory) I was so out of my mind today that I accidentally bought a skin pack instead of a demo... and this is what I now have.

As you see I am far lighter than my actual color, so I said: never ever I am going to wear THIS skin! But then... I got a little used to it, and guess what? It has 2 tiny moles... but they're not in the average "tiny mole position" (i.e: over the lip, a lil to one side). One is on right cheek, and the other is under the outer tip of the right eye.

That's the mole I want RL! LOL

So that's already a very big point extra for this poor skin.... besides, it's a pack (so many different lipsticks), and it doesn't have a too heavy eye make up.

So... all these things together might convince me to wear it... who knows...

Then... last few days Pall has been "romancing" me a lot.... to help poor Clio to get out of her rusty shell... lol... he's so funny. (Muah, thanx for the help, Pall... lol).

Mhmmm... not too much new...

Hugs to everyone.

Some more romance...

:) Hahahaha, well, you might have got the idea of how I am, by now: I am cold as a stone. So it's more than fine to be a little impressed by all these last posts about romance and dates.


The thing is (lol) that avi Clio doesn't have to pay for what her real fleshy self is like, so why can't she have some fun?


Besides, I should be writing a post on SL relationships, soon, and I wouldn't have anything to write about! I NEED to test those pink and soft grounds to get an idea of what romance is like.


So here I am... on Pall's bed (hahahaha, who would have guessed I'd ever end up in his bed! LMAO) [JUST CUDDLING!] for a new picture of the "Romantic Moments" series LOL.

Don't we look cute?

Then... let's pretend I have something more to talk about... mhmmm, let's see:
I have been drawing advertising shirts for a couple of things: a club, a business, and an event. But I was also supposed to come up with 2 sets of Pijamas, one for guys and one for girls, from the "LAG SUCKS" line. With slippers, too! And I'm almost there... last details to think of, and then they'll be hanging on my walls.
I might think to also have 2 more colors for the Perpetua (I did for the Magnete), to give you all a wider selection to choose from LOL (and because I am kind of "looking for new ideas" at the moment).

OK, well... people, do leave a comment, if you read, let's try this again lmao.

A big hug to all of you.

Silky Clio!

Hey Guys... don't have time to write a lot, just wanted to show you a picture of Clio in a SILK!


Yes lol


I got one of Candy's best silks, and here I am, wearing it:)

Then... MAYBE... I will try to make some very very silly hairdo... cause I am a hair maniac now lol

I have styles from ETD, Naughty, Calla... and even if yes, they're not too many (since I am actually a girl), but I feel like I have been spending a lot on hair!!!!

So I wanna start make my own, and don't worry, I'll keep you informed lol.

Going now!!! Byeee!

Hellooo!
Hahaha, I am kinda bored... here it' morning, and it's so hot one could not only cook an egg over the floor outside... I bet it would even work with a fat stuffed turkey!!! I am COOKED!
Oh my... well, last update hasn't brought voice to Second Life, wonder when the release for that will be.
Way awesome thing is that we now have SCULPTIES! I am so looking forward to start messing around with those things... And make stuff of all kinds. If I'll be able to work some program out good enough, I might even try to make shoes (haha, mind travels fast, doesn't it?).
But of course, until I manage to have some kind of 3d texturing program, then there's really nothing that could justify my enthusiasm lmao. (omg, the greek origin of the word enthusiasm was just coming back to my mind...).
Ok, I will post this, so short and so insignificant, and maybe log on to sl now... before the heat will melt me...
Bye!

2-nights date with old Pall:) (and some other things)

Hey everyone!

Guess what? It's been long since I last wrote something, as usual.

I even had to rebuild my computer some days ago... was a pain... way busy.

Anyways, I am back almost regular on SL now. And 3 days ago I was talkign to Pall in IMs while working (and noone there :( ). So after a long chat and after he'd said plenty of nice things (as he always does:)), he promised he'd take me out on a "date" the day after lol.

We scheduled everything, can you believe that? MEEEE, I got a DATE! lol... well, doesn't count, cause Pall is such a good friend and I like so much to make fun of him, that this date thing is not to be taken seriously lol. But it was very nice of him to take me out, so could relax a bit... we went to a very nice place. With dinner tables and tons of couple danceballs. (here's a snapshot lol).

But for how good as it was going, what could happen to me if not crash while we were still dancing?

My line went dooown!!!

And I never got it back!!! Poor Pall, he's been so patient lol. Most of my friends have been... I have disappeared at least once with everyone, I think... so bad of me!

And well... yesterday (the day after the tragic crash), I went dancing with Pall again, to finish and wrap up what we had abruptly interrupted. So we went to Phat, because they were having a contest for best in formal.

So of course Pall said: if you're going let me know, I'd be glad to dace with you (lol).

We went, and of course I wore one of my gowns ( the Sable Perpetua ). And at the end (omg, I was shocked) I even won the contest!!!

It was such an end to that interrupted date lol.

And awesome to have a REAL record that my gowns are some good lol (Key was like :see? I wish I had recorded those times when you said "I don't know if they are worth as much as I think" and things like that lol).

Of course it was a very nice surprise.

As it was the fact that renting a space at The Purple Moon was very very convenient for me lol.

Yes, I did start renting, here and there... more than one spot. Hope I can have one also in another couple of clubs (I already have them in mind, lol). But need to wait to see if I can get those spaces as well...

Then, very last thing: Of course I went back to the beta to talk to people, and I was very lucky cause I met the guy with the awesome, sexy, deep, goergeous voice!

Hehe, wanna see him? Here he is, in his Chinese outfit:).

The guy whose voice could make a woman melt (literally!!!!).

Well, enough stupid crap talk for today:)

TTY SOON, maybe... lol.

Philip Linden!!!

Hey GUYS!!!

You won't believe what I am about to say!!! I was on the beta grid again, today, with my usual "voice-chat friend" (lol... it's just too funny to chat with you!). We were just standing there at the welcome area, talking with some people as usual... with a little crowd that gathered around those of us speaking (and obviously some italians, as well...lol!).

Guess who came up and walked through us... PHILIP LINDEN!!!
YES! The starter!!! The creator of SL!
OMG! We were all so excited!
We kept him there for a while, asking him silly questions, and hearing from him some Second Life possible future features (sounds bad, doesn't it? lol).
It was sooo great!
And my friend and I were so excited that I didn't have the strength to hold myself from asking him "... well, Philip... since you are the starter... and you are here.... can we take a picture?"
LMAO!
He laughed too, so silly of me to ask.

But at the end, this is what came out of it:

It was so exciting lol.
We met the very first person who thought Second Life.
He asked us a few questions, too. And he told us he is amazed now, by the number of non-american people who are on SL.
OMG OMG OMG!
What a day... I also heard my friend's voice this morning... sooo NICE! Finally! (even if, please don't get offended lol, I don't totally agree with your wife... lol, still very nice voice though, I love it!).
Well, gotta go... should get some study done (lol... at 10 PM???).
Have a great day/night (whatever).

SL Voice! An amazing adventure!

Today Clio is stealing some time from her very busy RL to say something about SL voice.
To whoever doesn’t know it yet, from the next update, not only we will have sculpted prims and all their HUGE potential, but we’ll have the VOICE!
Yes! The SL voice feature (to chat using headphones instead of typing) is already available on the beta grid.
I didn’t even know! I logged in on the beta grid yesterday just to see the sculpties (which are absolutely gorgeous… can’t wait to learn how to make the textures to come up with any possible shape!!!) and I noticed the little voice control thingy at the bottom of the screen (like the music and video stream controls).
Well, after trying to make the first shape, I relogged in on the main grid, told some of my friends about sculpted prims, and asked one of them to download the beta grid, so that we could meet on it, and I could show her a bit of what sculpted prims are.
I showed her all the shapes that are available in the library, and then we noticed the voice option… but we couldn’t make it work!
And after 5 minutes, when we were actually about to say: “let’s log back on the main world… here we can’t even IM our online friends”, we heard a girl’s voice!!! YES! We heard her voice! And after a minute my friend was talking too, and we ended up talking all together (took me a LOT to figure out how to configure my headphones… of course lol).
OMG! I stayed on for almost the whole afternoon! Was crazy! I loved it! We met other and other and other people. All there chatting, laughing at people’s voices (or shivering at one of them’s… he’s got the deepest voice ever! Gorgeous but scary lol), trying to pick up accents.
It is a great experience!
It’s different from any other voice chat software. Because, again, it’s not a “chat”, it’s SL! It’s different… people LIVE it, they have their own second life and go around the world like that. So you actually walk around and hear people’s voices… isn’t it cool!?!
That’s how the little group gathered around us… first it was the 3 of us, then a fourth guy, and then from that another and another and another person… at the end we were so many… and the SIM got stuck, but we could still communicate by voice (which is totally cool: we could tell each other “I’m stuck! I can’t move”, instead of just being there, and not typing, not moving nor communicating).
Anyways… I will always remember those people I met yesterday, also because (it’s funny) by having that little chat with our actual voices, we got much closer than what it would have been if we had just typed stuff. Hearing a person’s voice does tell much more about that person than reading his/her messages. (AND some people’s voices are just fascinating lol! … or scary… the same… one of the best voices I’ve ever heard lol).

I cannot wait to talk to a couple of my friends, actually… some because I am too curious about their accent, one because I’ve been told how sexy his voice is, and now I wanna hear it lol (hahahahahahahahaha, soooo funny… your wife told me, so it must be true ;) ).
Hehe, well, anyone who reads this, do try the voice chat, it’s amazing, and way funny.
And if any of those I talked to that first time is reading this, please say Hi (in the comments…).
Byeee!

We're over 6 MILLIONS!

Wow! Did you people notice it?
SL residents got to over 6 millions... That's a HUGE number, isn't it?
I said to myself (some days ago...) "Wow, in a few months SL residents doubled!". And you know what? Now I can say that in 4 months 4 millions people joined SL.
That's such a fast growth.
Our (lol... like if it was partially mine, as well :)) virtual world is getting so big and so fast.
And along with its residents' number, the whole things will change. Maybe in the future the weather system will be all over SL, so we'll have to bring an umbrella in our purse all the time, just in case lol.

Today I met a very "old" resident, too lol. I've learned some things about SL in the past, and might be starting to see some little things I could put together for the SL History... lol... ok, will take SOOO much time.
Well, I am not at all inspired tonight, I'll see if I can write something more some other day... Besides, RL is supposed to be taking most of my time now, so...
Byez.

Magnete Gown!!!

OK, other very much delayed post… but hey, Kuc (since, yeah, you’re reading this and noone else is lol), you know I was busy!!!
Hehe, you surely do know, since I got you a little busy, too, with all my need of advice and models! Lol… well, Magnete Gown is done, up on the walls, and it looks fabulous (again, complimenting myself as only a total idiot would hahahaha). And when Cape saw me wearing it she was kinda shocked, methinks (just for you, doc)… I tried to get as close as I could to CanDy’s wonderful Breezy… And maybe my efforts were not totally vain. Oh, well, at least it looks good and people love it (which is the most important thing, isn’t it?).
And back to Cape… OMG, lol, I said a lot of times how much I love to work at CanDy, because of the inspiration and the people (and, of course, because of the freedom we have with our schedules… of capital importance in my case), but let me tell you: my boss is awesome. Not only as a designer, but also as a person. She allowed me to set up a little vendor there at CanDy, so if you pop by, you might notice my stuff, too (among the billions of huge and puffy gowns from Cape), and she gave me some very smart and useful tips on how to make my designs look betterJ.
Yuppie!
So I will have to start working on a different prim shape (for a new gown) I bet… and that will cost me loads of hair lol (hopefully I learned something in the meanwhile, that will save me time and energy lol). And I do have some idea in mind, but let’s see if it’s possible… I still need to fully get into building and its potential.
Haha, I also made my first tuxedo. Which looks crappy, I know, but it’s a start and it’s cheap… lol at least this time I manage not to be too glimmering about a creation of mine!
Oh… I moved my store!!! Hahahaha, no need to say this here, cause I already said it in my profile, but it’s just to keep this posts up to date (well, almost… since I write once a week lol). And about this moving: Don’t ask. At least not for now… I will write something about it, maybe… one day… who knows. I first need to get the whole thing cleared up in my mind, I guess.

Well, nothing important to say, apart from “It would be better if I tried to study”. But let me say one last thing to my favourite (and only?) reader: I have been writing a few lines for the SL Romance, Kucypie, and I am kinda scared I will end up talking nonsense, because I truly suck when it comes to emotional talk, feelings, and relationships. But I said I’ll write about it, and so I will. Just hang on! Lol.
And the same for the SL History: I will write it, sooner or later (MOST likely later lol).
See ya all.

P.S: If there’s anyone different from Kuc reading this post, leave a comment… even just to say “hello” , or maybe “stop bothering with this crap!” (lol, hope not this last one)… so I can get a slight idea of how many people are so desperate that they don’t have anything better to do than read my posts and leave comments lol (yes, Kuc, you are desperate, I know, but I bet anyone would, if they had to deal with Pall all the time! LMAO!!!)
[and, btw Pall… Thank you again a lot for your offerJ] ß(piccola parentesi viola).

SO PROUD OF MYSELF!!! lol

Hey everyone!

... I know, I know... haven't written in a while, and I apologize for that. But you know I was very busy inworld, and still kinda am (but of course, today it looks like I cannot stay connected for more than 2 minutes, so I just got off for a while).

And I am writing here to whoever will read this post (... why don't I just say: "Thank you, Kuc!" for always reading my blog!!!).

First news, which almost got me a heart attack yesterday, is: I managed to make the gown I have been working on for almost 2 weeks now! Yessss, even before the Dizzie Dress (here in the picture... comes with matching bikini!!!) I was already working on a gown. I wanted to make it a real formal gown, one of those people would get compliments for. A gown I could maybe sell in the Phat Cat's Mall, which is certainly a perfect place where to advertise your business.

And well, I think I got there...

Of course, it is not definite yet, I have to fix the skrt, to make the last adjustments, and then to create a pair of nice gloves to add to it, and maybe some "jacket"... something to cover up the shoulders (for us ladies, when we get to dance out in the cool air of those open ballrooms lol).

And then the awesome (yes yes, as I said in the title, I am more than proud of myself for finally getting to it) new gown from Ccard's will be there, on my store's walls (and who knows, maybe also in some nice mall...).

So here is a little and crapy picture I took in my store with the final prototype of my gown on. Can you see the tears coming down my cheeks? (because if you zoomed in you could actually see those, I am so happy!).

I am with my fellow designer Xavy.

... So, what do you think?

lol! Well, I am more than proud of it. Kuc said: "Wow Clio! Looks like a waterfall!". And it DOES!

While it flexes it does look a lot like a waterfall lol. Maybe it will be the name of it. Even though I actually have a name already (came up with it 2 weeks ago, or so... when I started designing it lol), so since I will have more than 1 color, maybe "waterfall" will just be the name of the blue version.

Oh well, whatever! I am too confused and blinded by my own tears of pride now to think of a name!

So... other news? Well, since you last read a post of mine, Xavy opened a store, XZ designs, which I advice you all to go to, because his designs are way cool! (and because he's a friend, and because he was almost a pupil of mine lol... ).

Then... My gurl's (no mind in the gutter please... lol) club, The Greek Goddess, was closed a couple days ago, for rebuild. It will be back open on Saturday, with a speed dating thing... which I was forced to sign up for by Pall and gurl, obviously. Lol.

And, I evidently messed up with land settings at The Golden Temple (trying to hide this among the many news so it will be less noticeable LMAO!), and got half the items returned to the owners' inventories... Disco is a saint! "SANTO SUBITO! SANTO SUBITO!" (those of you who live in Italy will smile, lol... for the others: "santo subito" means "saint right away"... it's a funny thing some guys on the radio invented. They hear stories about people who did something nice and just start saying "SANTO SUBITO!". So it's become something kinda popular to say lol). And Disco fully deserves to be "Saint Right Away", because he somehow managed to keep himself for killing me, when they found out it was me messing... SORRY BRO! (and sorry dad, ad mom, and Zammie and Chiwa, and whoever got stuff returned for my stupid mistake).

Then... other news, from CCard's: I assigned my first "model" tags. Yes! Now I sometimes ask people to model for me, and so I decided each one of them should proudly wear a tag that shows he/she modeled for a clothing line!

And about this I also need to apologize (just a little lol) for my pickiness (is that an english word?) to Kuc and Lib, the hot models of the Dizzie Dress... see the picture above... But then you girls said it was funny, so I hope I didn't tire you out too much!

Mhmmm, about CCard's new releases I should also mention the SL-addicted shirt, which is way too funny (and for which Pall modeled, of course lol), and the Tee's Tee... that is definitely a "T" shirt! And which I got Xavy and Key's picks for.

So... enough for now... I certainly left out some exciting news from the last days, but hey, you know I am a mess (read the huge title on top of the page lol) and I forget EVERYTHING!

Hahahaha, ok... I sound drunk, and it's only 1:30 PM... should post this and eat something, and then maybe even study a bit (study... what's "study"?... don't remember...).

Byeeeee! Wish you all a nice morning, day, afternoon, evening, night... (and pretty much I said them all...)

Hippy party:)

Here is a snapshot from the hippy party we had a couple days ago, at Queen Celtic's Shops:)

I think this one in front of the camera is Disco... hard to tell though, cause he's generally bald lol.

Anyways...everyone was wearing that funny hair mom gave us... to look as more hippy-like as we could lol. It was a great party. Lots of smoking and drinking, of course.

Mhmmm, I just realized that I don't have any picture of my family on my "online profile" (i.e.: this blog). I should take snapshots and set up a pick for each one of them (... before they get to a number too high to handle!).

Ah! I'm also working on my very first custom order: a star wars jedi outfit:) Who knows if I'll get it good enough.

See ya folks... RL Clio is WAAAY tired. She'll take an "evening-nap", I guess.

CCard's new store!

:) I am sooo happy!

Today CCard's got a new store at Queen Celtic's Shops!

It's a rental area brother Disco designed, and we are renting lots of stores at fair prices (so for anyone interested, come and check them out;)).

And of course how could CCard's not be among the Queen Celtic's shops?

And as all the times, I need to thank Kawa for the opportunity he gave me to meet the whole family and to group with them:)

Thank you sooo much daddy!!!

Then... This is something I thought many times and even told some friends: I will soon start collecting information for the 2 new "big posts" I will want to write (sooner or later... sigh).

As I told (certainly to Kuc... ) I want to write a post on SL romance and a post (that will actually be many posts) on SL history.

This last one is something I REALLY want to write... ever since I met Shadow at Candy Silks... when I was still kinda new and I met such an old SL resident.

I want to write something that tells about SL in the past years... when there were no clubs, no business... and then how it all got to nowadays world. It would be sooo interesting. And I bet not many people would be able to describe first year's SL... maybe they wouldn't even be able to picture it... (I think of it as a "all nooby" world: no prim hair, almost no clothing nor skins... very basic building... ).

Well, if Clio stopped being lazy and waiting, we'd soon know:)

So... I guess I said enough for today. My SL is very busy and my eyes and fingers are tired... so I will just concentrate on the party.

Have a nice evening/night/day...
