Cybergrrl Oh Goes Western

OK, I get time zones wrong all the time. And I tend to joke that I'm calendrically challenged (unable to read a calendar properly). So it isn't any wonder that I missed the monthly theme party on Second Life this month. And the theme was Western which would have been so much fun.

I showed up all dressed up (wearing a free cowboy outfit I got at Tombstone - luckily, I remembered to remove the male shape before trying it on). Nobody was there. And there was an incredibly detailed Western town. The host appeared and told me I had missed the party the night before but gave me permission to take photos. So here they are!

My Gothic Castle

This is the castle I won created by Qabalah Quintus. I won it at a gothic party on Book Island.

I'd like to place it on Elysian Isle. I think we are going to put it on a platform in the sky above the isle. I can't wait to give tours of it! And how will I furnish it?

Scenes Around Second Life

I attended the Book Island Gothic lit bash that included a costume contest, dancing and fireworks. Here are some scenes from the event.

That's me in the red & black with wings.


This was an outfit I put together my first month in SL & have never had the occasion to wear it until now.

This mystery man is my husband's avatar.

Cybergrrl Teez - tshirts by Cybergrrl Oh

The sayings and art are mine (tshirt is a template). I'm a bit artistically challenged but think I did pretty well for my first time designing tshirts in Second Life.

All shirts are available through me - Cybergrrl Oh. IM me or email me at cybergrrhoh AT gmail DOT com if you'd like one. I'll soon be opening shop on Elysian Isle - a little tshirt stand on the boardwalk - so get them while they're still FREE!
