Thanks to everybody that made my 29th (*cough*) birthday a very very lovely day. I kept getting surprised with gifts and wellwishes every time I turned around, probably thanks to Marxi "letting the cat out of the bag."

Jeli snuck up on me and was SUPER MISS DEVIOUS and sent me RL flowers, too, which was a super-amazing treat. They're still here next to my desk making my whole office smell absolutely lovely.

It was an absolutely awesome day of shopping, making lists of where to go shopping, daydreaming of shopping, and um, SHOPPING! Thank you to everybody who so kindly thought of me. You guys know "you didn't have to do that," but you did and I can't thank you enough. Whether there were gifts involved or not, you all are the best set of friends anyone could ever ask for in any life.

The house got covered with balloons and gifts and signs and streamers by the Four Corners crew, and I also got to spend a little time with Eirik which was a joy as always.

Then, later that night when I relogged after some RL celebrating with friends, I was shuffled off to the club where everyone took turns spanking me. I think a few of you liked spanking me a little too much. Or is it me that liked getting spanked a little bit too much?

After my birthday died down, I spent yesterday working most of the day in RL and made an appearance in SL late last night to try to finish up Eirik's valentine present. I'm quite happy with it and will post some pictures after I give it to him this weekend. Shhhhh!

Today, we spent some time exploring Chakryn Forest, as neither of us had ever been there. We had quite a lovely time and I'm sure we'll end up going back because I doubt we even scratched the surface of this amazing openspace build. It was truly mystical and beautiful, peaceful and inviting, whimsical and quite obviously a labor of love.

Tomorrow, I, as well as my friend WendyOfNeverland Fussbudget, plus I'm sure other people that I know, want to know, or will get all twittery knowing, will be walking in the Burning Life Fashion Show at 6pm SLT on Tuesday!

I don't have a LM yet, but when I do I'll come back and post the link.

Hope to see y'all there, it should be fun!

6pm SLT!

Sometimes, the best medicine for what ails you is throwing your arms around someone's neck and hanging from them playfully as they hug you tight.

---------------------

I reckon having so many places to sit quietly and talk with someone that it becomes a "chore" to remember them all and pick one, is a pretty nice problem to have.

----------------------

Sometimes it's not what you're doing, but who you're doing it with.

Happy Monday, everybody!

So this weekend was filled with crazy fun randomness, and I can only hope yours was. I got to go shoe shopping with girlfriends, become a quadruplet, bought some L$50 Magika hair and a L$50 ball gown which a kind gentleman or two last night referred to as "smoking hot" (Topaz Square, TOPAZ SQUARE!), DJ'd for charity (we've raised L$10k for Stand Up To Cancer so far, thank you), got sold on an auction block, became a copycat and bought some boots I wanted, got caught breaking into Camthan's house for some craziness (okay, so that was on Thursday), and enjoyed the company of some amazing folks along the way.

And then yesterday I got to hang off of shoulders.

Is it Friday again yet? Or do you think maybe we can add some random insanity to the weekdays?

You know, with all the other things going on this week I forgot to blog about some superfun.

I'm trying to remember what day this was, but I reckon it was Tuesday or Wednesday.

CronoCloud Creeggan, a fellow blogger and someone whom I finally sycophantedly friended at the last SL Bloggers party, was kind enough to start IM'ing me recently. I always enjoy my talks with her, and this day was no exception.

We were talking about diversity in SL, and there's been a little side ruckus over a sign at a store in SL. Whether you think it's a joke or not, no matter how you take it, it at the very least deserved a little fun being poked back at it.

Best in Red!

Originally uploaded by Rosie Barthelmess

It's that time again, friends!

A couple of times a year, made to coincide with RL Diversity celebrations, Lounge of Dreams holds Diversity Week.

It's an entire week dedicated to the diversity in SL (as if we aren't already, but you know what I mean) and we have a TON of fun.

Every night this week, we'll have live DJs and different "Best In" color themes, until Saturday when we'll blow the walls out with Rainbow Night.

Here's our lineup for this week -- all events are 6-10pm with contest starting at 8 and L$500 total prize money:

Tonight (Sunday) was Best in Red w/DJ Noirran, and we had a BLAST!

Monday: Best in Orange w/DJ Rosie & DJ Chaos Koala!
Tuesday: Best in Yellow w/DJ Madisen Tandino & DJ Pangtera Nakamura!
Wednesday: Best in Green w/DJ Carmen Greenfield! (Hip-hop night!)
Thursday: Best in Blue w/DJ Ewan Mureaux & DJ Zarabella Ming!
Friday: Best in Purple w/DJ Rosie & DJ Madisen!
Saturday: Best in Rainbows w/DJ Gorgeous Guen (Rock night!)

I hope you guys can all come out -- however you are, any shape, color, fur, scales, ears, tails, wings, bald, hairy, tiny, tall, big, small, EVERYONE should come out and have some fun with us. It's going to be a complete blast. We always have fun, but this is a great chance for you to stop by and let us get to know you better.

I hope to see a bunch of you -- hit me up for a TP if you see me online and would like a ride, or you can find us right here:

We're still hiring male dancers, if you know anyone who wants to work somewhere fun!

Well, today my domain name http://slrosie.com expired. Hopefully by now everybody has their stuff updated to http://rosiebarthelmess.com if you're interested in keeping up with me.

I've been doing a little bit of exploring since my in-world time has shifted a little bit to be earlier in the day in the U.S. That'll change back again in a week or two, but for now part of my morning routine is to hop inworld and see what's going on.

I've found some really fun things, and have been posting pictures on my flickr.

How's everybody doing?
