Look mum, I'm on the telly!!! (again!!!)



OMG, I'm in the new Pontiac G5 TV commercial!!! It's an 'old' me, but I'm the girl with the tats dancing at Parkade in the club shot, closest to the camera...

COOL!!!

I'll be signing autographs later :D

For a cause...



Some of you may have seen this, some may not. It's very deep, moving and has spurred me on to make the charity event I'm organising on August 10th at Parkade even more of a success...

Lets Rave for a Cause!!!

Let the relaxation cease!

Well, just when projects and appointments were winding down, it looks like things are about to get busy again... I've just had another build authorised by Motorati, so I'm going to be putting my third build down on the Island soon, this time it's on the Motorati sim itself, in the shape of 'Autopia', a modern, industrial tower complex with micro-apartments for weekly rent, so a resident can drive in, take the lift (elevator) to their chosen floor and then drive out, INTO their apartment :D Build work is already 90% done and I should be getting the land soon, prepping it and then getting ready to start dropping the building very soon indeed...

Other things that have happened? Well, earlier in the week I was asked to do a couple of modelling shoots for Maxim magazine, which was all very fun and exciting. It's nice to be asked to do these things, especially when I know there are prettier girls out there. I'm going to have to ask someone in America to post me a couple of copies of the magazine when it's released :D Call me vain, I don't care. This sort of thing doesn't happen to me often! On the subject of Maxim, I'm also going to be DJing at a Maxim party in SL next month. More info on that when it's announced. I'm also producing something else for Maxim, but can't start that until I get my hands on some stuff from them ;)

On the subject of Motorati Island, I've been drafted in to help out around there, tackling griefers, clearing the junk etc. and just helping to keep an eye on the place. I spend a lot of my time there anyway, so these added responsibilities are no extra burden at all.

My quest to collect more virtual junk continued this week too, when I added the 'Barricade' avatar to my collection from the Transformers 'Sector 7' sim and then I also raided the 'Silverscreen' sim where they've got a Die Hard 4.0 theme at the moment. Loads of freebies and some VERY cleverly built dioramas too. Notes have been taken :D

Finally (draws breath), I'm DJing with Jungle Vacano this Sunday, so it looks as if I'm going up in the world too, gig wise :D

..and Relax!

Wow, these past few weeks have been busy busy and although I'm not stopping with projects, I AM winding down to some well earned R&R at the end of the month, when I'm away for 2 long weekends with nothing but some fields, tents, friends and a few thousand music festivalgoers to keep me company :D I'm going to miss my friends in SL and I'll especially miss Sadie but 2 long weekends camping at festivals will be a giggle :D I'm really looking forward to it. I don't think I'll be able to afford the trip to Las Vegas later this year though :(

In SL news, the Aquatica Solstice has been handed over and I just need to make a drivable version now, which shouldn't take too long to do actually... I'm working on my Ultimate Drift Spec Solstice and all the prim work for that is pretty much complete, I just need to do some work in Photoshop now for the finishing touches.

I've also gone into partnership with a friend of mine, designing houses, apartment blocks, shopping malls etc. I'm currently working on a possible project for Motorati Island and am adapting a design that I'm working on for private sale, so if anyone out there is looking for a bespoke house or mall, let me know.

I've also spent a little more time in front of the camera lens too as I've been snapped a few times for a forthcoming article in Maxim magazine too. I'm really excited about that and will have to get a couple of copies sent over from America if I'm in it :D All this modelling stuff, it's so cool. I could get used to it, if only someone out there was looking for someone like me for more modelling...

Finally, I'm also through to the second round of a Battle of the DJs competition, which is pretty good. I think I'm taking part in round two this weekend. Should be interesting to see what happens and who I'm up against. I have a friend in the competition too and would hate to come up against him so early. Me and him in the final? I could live with that ;)

It's been a while...

Yeah, I know I've not updated this for about a week and I very much doubt that anyone out there is reading this but... If you are then at least let me know ;)

So, busy week!!! Lots of prim wrangling with yet another project undertaken for Pontiac, this time in the shape of a somewhat wacky Solstice GXP conversion for the Aquatica park. It'll be on display there and at the dealership soon. It's getting a little embarrassing down at the dealership, with 8 of the cars on display there being ones I've designed! Speaking of which, my Pro Stock Solstice GXP Dragster will be down there soon too probably. Thats pretty much finished and work is now about to start on my Ultimate Drift Spec Solstice.

I've also been working more with Patty and Breanne from AskPatty.com and have constructed the mobile show stand for them, so they can drop it at events, give out info on their services and it has a cool little R/C car track for the radio control Solstices I've made :D

Sadie has plans to abandon our lovely home on Sardonyx and take up residency on our own sim. It's ambitious but she's determined and I'm not going to stop her... It does mean I'll be uber busy making mountains and waterfalls though :D

Lastly, I'm going to be doing some cool promotion work with Pontiac for the launch of the new G6 model inworld. More details will appear on the MotoratiLife page when it's all been finalised, but it will probably last for a couple of weeks and should be a good laugh... I'm really looking forward to the challenge.

Red Laser Beam

Wow... I don't often talk about RL in here but Thursday night seeing Hexstatic was amazing. Loads of new material from their forthcoming album 'When Robots Go Bad'. Really cool night AND I get to see them twice in the same week as they're playing SecondFest tonight at 10pm UK time, followed straight away by Coldcut!!!

I'm currently keeping a photo log of my adventures at SecondFest, which I'll post up when it's all finished. I was there with Socks this afternoon and we were wandering around seeing what we could see... It was pretty cool. I'm hoping Sadie will be able to make a couple of sets with me tonight before I have to zoom over to Parkade for a 2 hour trance set, which also sees the start of 'Headspace week' which sees us playing host to the clubbing culture documentary 'Headspace'. It's showing whenever you want to see it, for one week only :D Be sure to catch it!

I've also just finished designing the car for the United Spinal Association charity event being run by AskPatty.com on August 4th. It's a simple yet challenging and thought provoking design. You can get more information on things over at the Motorati website...

Does it come in any other colours?

Well, bit of an exciting week!!! Firstly, the Pontiac Solstice Baja GXP has been approved for sale, which is brilliant news. As usual, all profits will head to charity, which is a bonus!! I'm still waiting to hear about the Drift Spec car too. I just need to find some decent beach buggy sounds now :D

Work on our paradise is progressing as Sadie and I have dropped a new and lovely beach house onto the land. We're thinking of upgrading to a whole sim, not too sure at the moment, but it's a bit step, especially for a personal home :D Still, it's what we're looking at and it would be nice to have the extra security of knowing it's OUR land.

In other news, I've shifted my DJ slot at Parkade back to Saturday this week as I'm going to be ligging and blagging at an album launch party for a UK band called Hexstatic, which is going to be coolies!!! I can't wait for that! Plus, the interview about Parkade should be appearing in June's issue of OMG magazine too!!

Oh and I think I've found a scripter to work with me in the future. It's the age old story of going to vote for a friend's (winning) float in the SecondPride festivities on The L Word sims, being introduced to someone who's looking for a full time pub manageress, turning the offer down but finding out she's a scripter who wants to work with a builder. Classic!
