WILD IN THE WEST AGAIN AND MORE THAN BUGGY!
by JoeyG
October 11, 2004
Once again, BrianKinney and Zonebrat, QE4’s great fashion team, put together an amazing show. No matter what the odds these two pros may face, and there are always the outrageous kinks and arrows that Nada tosses at them, these two weather all storms and make their events seem effortless and filled with fashion fun and excitement.
The
fabulous models were none other than The Screw Ups’ Corvusgold
and Snow_Costello
One of the
evening’s highlights was a special surprise appearance by the divine
TOmmy and
Sazzy were off for their own fashionable weekend so no TOmmyStone Dancers
at half time this week…I didn’t have to worry about making a screw up…yea!
Instead, during the brief interval between
One model I have not mentioned yet is our very own Geea who graciously modeled one of two of her fabulous western inspired wedding gowns from the Ciao Bella Collection at the show’s finale. The great tuxedo was designed by There’s leading designer of menswear, Mr. TOmmy himself! Now you may make merry and marry in the old west!
There served up a lot of angst Friday night. Nada was far more unstable than usual and wreaked havoc on the event from almost its start up in the afternoon to its fabulous finish.
Forget
about blockheads and zone resets! We are so used to this intrusion on our
fun that we almost pay it no mind (and yes, there were many blockheads
and, yes, we suffered the inevitable event reset). Ironically, practice
makes perfect and QE4 has found a way to have an enjoyable fashion show
and overcome the blockhead phenomenon with great success.
What is far more disturbing is the fact that my avatar was denied the pleasure of seeing the event to its close. Forty minutes before the show was scheduled to end I began to crash and burn. I valiantly made attempts to rejoin the Thereians still celebrating in Zone QE4 but to no avail. I entered the world five more times in the next fifty minutes only to be tossed to the start up screen or disappear before my friends' eyes and crash completely (my segmentation was violated! Is that a crime?). I can’t tell you how many times I simply could not sign back on in this period of increasing frustration. Friends told me that when I did reappear (for however briefly) I was in my playful big Joey body (I, of course, had not changed my figure…how could I?).
Can I tell
you how many people were entertained by the fashions of our glorious
You all
know how I love buggies. Yes, buggies as vehicles not There being buggy!
Well, this was the buggiest if not the biggest event that QE4 has ever
hosted and I can tell you I was completely bugged by it all! You would
think that There would be slightly more than aware that attention should
be paid to such an important event as this one considering how hyped they
are on the TWWW. Yeah, right, okay! Listen up There before I finally tell
you to bugger off (can I say that here?)! You wanted TWWW and you wanted
it big! I think you better take a look at your servers so that they do not
serve up any horrible, unexpected mayhem come the weeks between October 22
and November 5. Okay, nuff said!
Things of a different nature that drive me buggy!

I
understand There’s trepidation over the hastily approved and rather
healthy phallic
I was
further appalled to discover one of the designs by Disky for TWWW could
not get it’s name approved in submission. Zorro the Gay Blade was
not acceptable. I think it’s now called Zorro, the Alternate Lifestyle
Blade (or something like that). Considering the name comes from a very
popular film (read widely accepted by the RL public), considering the
costume was designed with me in mind (did There know I was GAY?)
what is harmful or disturbing about the word gay? What are you saying
There? Hmmm?
Honestly, I am sick and tired of such mindless stupidity (can you tell I am ever so slightly angered?). If There is so concerned with what might and might not be acceptable or considered in good taste by an entire community then ASK THEM dammit! If the word gay is unacceptable in There then are gays unacceptable in There as well? What message are you sending us? Do not assume! You do know about that word?!
There tries! I know it does! However, it is quite clear that There is more trying than trying! Make up your minds guys and concentrate on making a more unified and consistent policy for all things, all things! Nuff said!
We have had bad buggy now
let’s have good buggy!

There
had another opportunity to experience the wonderful,
officially sanctioned fashions of The Wild, Wild West again on
Friday night in Zone QE4. QE4, in association with EEP and
TGC, put on another rousing megathon of a fashion event for
everyone’s pleasure and enjoyment. 
(no
screw ups there). Kudos to Sarn and NigelBlackthorne who
bravely made their runway debuts with this fashion extravaganza. Renowned
models xThor and KatieJo were knockouts (as were all the
models) in the fabulous designs created especially for The Wild, Wild West
by our Magnificent Seven: Geea, Dreamweaver, Joshua_Tree,
Mercuria, Disky, Dragonfly Designs (TOmmyStone and Sazzypants) and Phedre.
Ms
P herself. Phedre introduced yet another new hairstyle inspired and
created for The Wild, Wild West. Not only may our cowgirls have their very
own Stetsons they have a new set of beautiful
braids to wear when they are hatless. Hats off to Phedre!
shows,
as an extra added treat, the audience was delightfully entertained by the
real Screw Ups (no, no screw ups there).
When
I signed on late Saturday, sure enough, there was two ton jumpin’ Joey! I
waited and switched to my normal body. No sooner did I switch, wham bam, I
was out of There. I came back and, lo and behold, I was the chunky kid
again. I kept crashing so I decided to come back as my closet avatar (how
appropriately named). He crashed too! I came back as Joey. CRASH! I came
back as Clifton and I guess Nada had finally gone to bed as Cliff was
allowed to hang out in world. Cliff has no money but he could sell the
nearly eighty buggies that are stored in his trunks if he needed some
ready cash (poor Cliffie, I can’t imagine what else he has in those
trunks…no room, you see). The oddest thing?! I was There standing next to
Clifton (I have pictures to prove it). How freaky is that? One PC and two
avatars standing side by side! Halloween came early!
designers? No! I have never received notice of the final head count so I
will give you an educated guess that our Megathon played host to upwards
of eighty Thereians.
symbol by Kattwomann. I saw the picture Rose and I must
say I was duly impressed (I need to know Zach’s opinion on this woody)! If
There is so concerned that this large looming peach of an erector set
should not exist in world then just maybe they should take into
consideration the detailed There designed phallus that adorns the doorway
of one the houses in Saja. It has certainly been very popular to visitors
of that pod community and it has been There since the year of the flood!.
My, my, my! Saja? Pods? Phallus? Maybe that's where There _Abuse hides its
testicles!
Months
ago, There made a lame effort to edit (read censor) certain words that had
a negative connotation from being used in world. At that time I was
extremely critical of There’s thought processes in deciding what was
proper and what was not. Thanks to my being a part of Beta I was privy to
the forthcoming censorship and took a firm stand against the word queer
being banned. There listened! I was pleased. I was pleased for the moment
until I saw that numbers like 69 and words like pimp, for instance, were
edited. I find it incredibly shortsighted, if not completely stupid, that
the plurals of said offensive words are acceptable but the singular is
not. So if you aspire to pimpdom just join a club catering to pimps and
you will have no problem listing the word. 
around lately. In mid September Alchemy Designs introduced its new
Equus Line available at the standard price of
$8,900 TBux. There are style styles: White Start and Dark Cloud
are available in the metallic colors of gold, bronze, copper and silver.
Get
out the baking tins! ZMW and Meldoinkle Designs have both
given us two distinctly different and desirable Pumpkin buggies to
have and harvest. Meldoinkle even has the answer to a heavy holiday meal
with the fast food Baco Tell.
What's
new for our home, PAH or PAZ? Xedos has designed a fabulous
swimming pool complete with diving board.

TheChaz’ new Jack-O-Lantern Hot Air Balloon as it floats by
in the autumn sky. Maybe you can stare out at your new
garden
complete with Aztec3’s remarkable new Waterfalls and Water
foundations (bubbly animated by the amazing TheChaz).
treats. I just love his Texas Chainsaw and Jason Mask (there
are quite a few avatars that should worry if I get my hands on one).
On
the fashion front, mercurial Mercuria keeps adding to her men’s
assortment. M-Wear has just introduced must have pants for our sexy
Johns and Juans to don (pun so intended)! The new hot and sexy jeans come
in aqua, black and purrfect leopard.
