Steelhead Town Meeting 4/28 & Happy Rez Day Dia!

Tonight was Steelhead's town meeting. Alas, no one was arrested this time. For the highlights and Steelhead goings-on, click HERE...Afterwards, I headed over to Steam Sky City to attend the Big Brass Ball. Dia was the music presenter and celebrating her second rez day! A very happy one to you and enjoy that rusted tire iron! *winks*

Chickening and a Visit Elsewhere

Stopped by Dia's gig at Gearz in Steelhead Boomtown and arrived on the glass floors to Lunar in a cage--surrounded by chicken peeps...Dia herself jumped in as well at the end...Afterwards, Lunar and I went to visit Victoriana. I haven't been there almost since it opened. Lovely, with things under construction. We did not see the tiny town. Is it still there? An advisor and the ward of the Mayor came to greet us. How nice of them...

Mischief in Steelhead!

I wandered into the Steelbucks cafe in Steelhead Harborside. I found the coffee irresistable...
That seemed to be a bad idea as I ran amok hopping like a maniac through Steelhead afterwards. I jumped into the moss at Mr Eclipse's redwoods...And literally hopped right into the Duchess Sound, who then joined me in the fun. We could not stop laughing. We headed over to the Sheriff's pink flamingo-infested home and fired the cannon on his porch, to which Her Grace said "BEWM!" We tried to straighten the Sheriff's clock and got into a bit of mischief there before moving on...As we were admiring the statues at Town Hall, who should stroll by but Sheriff Fuzz! He took one look at me and groaned, saying "What are you two up to? If Eladrienne is a tiny, you are up to no good!" I told him that if he found pawprints in unusual places in his home, I had nothing to do with it. Dia said the same. He was rather unconvinced...

Duchesses & Lots o' Trout!

My evening started out innocently enough with Duchess Dia (yes, I can call her that!) and the Duchess of Argylle and I having a great time making a triple decker Lunar sandwich at the reception party for the Moon Over Caledon exhibit at Kintyre. The portraits really are lovely...especially the gents' to me, given their incredible variety on display: human, demon, mech, equine, furry...The exhibit is up until Sept. 17 so don't miss your opportunity to see it...Do not leave Steelheaders to their own devices or they just might rez sword fish Steelhead trout and whack each other gleefully with them...
Afterwards, we went to visit Dia at her home in the Sound and chatted about potential duchy duties. Lunar said something about "hard working". I wasn't quite sure what the job entailed...
And Miss Hilra let loose with a torrent of fish from her fish gun in the parlor. Yes, Dia & I are under them somewhere. They then proceeded to both take out their huge guns. Chickens, mice and more mayhem ensued. I kicked up my feet on the settee and just got comfortable. Tea and gunpowder coming right up!

Caledon Firth Anniversary Ball

Our hostess Dia, Her Grace Lady Whoopass herself, looked lovely in a medieval houppelande-inspired dress I made specifically for her in her colors... I twirled and swirled as DrBob and I danced...
An overview of the dance floor with the array of the Firth duchies' heraldic flags (and the Caledon naval flag) displayed...
And me dancing with Lunar, one of my absolute favorite dance partners, who attended as well as some of my other Steelhead neighbors...

Caledon Firth Anniversary Regatta!

A year ago the Caledon Firth's expanse of central water void sims were created. They have become very popular and used for the recreation of Caledon's citizens for both aviation and sailing. Today, in an event hosted by Dia, the new Duchess of Sound, many of us came to celebrate with a regatta! I donned my European-style sailor's outfit...And took my fast little sailboat for a spin around the Firth...
Upon our return, we also took to the sky as well and I accepted a ride from DrBob Margulies in his new balloon by Miss Ilsa Munroe...We all flew along the Southern coast of the Firth from one end to the other, turning around to attend the formal...
DrBob and I decided to take a more direct route upwards to the dance platform upon reaching Sound. That is Lionsgate in the background...

Fire....Definitely More Fire

Edwina and I decided to decorate the cloud party platform for Dia's RL b'day party. I looked around and said, "Fire. Definitely more fire!" So we went around creating a literal fire wall and lava vision of hell on a heavenly cloud...We all had a great time dancing on the lava flow...
Mr Eclipse got into the spirit by being in his demon form...
Happy birthday to you Dia! Hope you had a great one!

Riding on Light...

Dia discovered that you can ride on my Harborside lighthouse lantern's beam merry-go-round style! Genie came over to watch the fun...

Steamworks @Stephenson's Quarter

I recently opened my E.Laval Aether shop across from the Steamworks Club at Stephenson's Quarter in the Emit Time sim. I share my space with Mr Writer and Mr Enoch in a rather wonderful smokestacked factory building. If you are a lover of all things steampunk as I am, then you really must visit Stephenson's Quarter as the shopping there is a rather fantastic selection of steampunk clothing, items, and accessories! Not to mention that the decor is wonderful industrial steampunky goodness...Dia played her first set there under spectacular Tesla coils (which Doc Mason kept managing to shock himself with). Here is co-owner of Stephenson's Quarter Miss Amesha Jewell...
Mr Skusting Dagger of New Babbage in his very comfortable chair in the lounge area...
Lord Heron and a tiny friend dance to the metal...
It is a really cozy, welcoming club...

Everybody--to the Loft!

Dia had a very busy night at her Loft in Harborside, which bustled with folks for hours like a pub should! First Lord and I terrorized her for a while, riding in on our ponies. Lord made the mistake of going afk...We were standing on the bar counter for a while. Lord kept licking and threatening to eat Leonidas the goldfish. Dia threatened to freeze him. "Dude," she told me. "Your dress is in my beer..." Oh my!The place was hopping for hours! Laughter, talking, poetry, music and fun...Mr Hassanov stopped by...

And so did O'Toole...
Miss Rothschild came by to show us her little pet mouse Ollie...
Stop through if you're in Harborside! Someone will probably join you!

Caledon Brigadoon Lands and A Christmas Carol

The Guvnah sent out a message that Brigadoon had landed and was a sandbox/ice rink. Of course I strapped on my skates and did jumps and tricks to my heart's content! How fun!Later that evening I went to the Radio Riel headquarters for a listening party of the first two chapters of one of my all-time favorite books, Dickens' A Christmas Carol. It seems Jagermeister Szondi loves it too as we were saying lines in unison ("No, your past."). I counted up to 4.5 "Humbugs" (Marley made Scrooge think twice about fully saying one!)
When it was over, Miss Nadir and I jigged as--inspired by the Fezziwig party--Duchess Gabi played "Roger de Coverley", the only song mentioned by name in a Dickens novel...
At the end, I joined Mr Offcourse and Dia in Port Caledon in his new workshop for a fun conversation as Mr Offcourse worked on his latest creation...

Tiny Terror Twosome and Love Stinks!

After a trip to Raglan Shire, Lord and I came back to Regency and much shouting back and forth with Eds. Oh dear, quite a long, crazy and funny story involving my gift pony (see below) and a certain otter (also see below)?Either way, we all ended up at Heron's Nest in Kitti where I was happy to swing...
...and slide. You just don't know how much fun I have as a tiny!
Dia came to join us all and we had a good time hanging out and dancing...I got a tp from Kira and we were all off to Speirling for her "Love Stinks" rave with appropriate songs for the occasion! I'll just say that love "can" stink, but when it's nice...it's like perfume and roses. *sighs dreamily as she thinks of someone*
