special to the Alphaville Herald - by Pat the Rat

Someone pass me the Pepto Bismol, please! That is all I can think of saying after surviving the social event of the decade in the new, post-Linden, metaverse.

Attending this A-list event were Alphaville Herald staffers Urizenus Sklar, Pixeleen Mistral, and PaleFire, former PN boss Windowlic Klaar, Woodbury alums Tizzers, Atlas, and Huns, Woodbury Dean Edward Clift, Hollywood film-makers Brett Baum and Vivien Lesnik (she of the pro-Castro documentary, /busted!). Well it all just makes you think, doesn't it?

What possible reason could there be for this confluence of ne're-do-wells, griefers, pointy-headed intellectuals, and Hollywood moguls? I don't know and I don't care, because whatever nefarious plots and technocommunist revolutions they were planning, they partied like it was 1917!

But what are they up to? Is it a new transmedia ARG done under the auspices of Henry Jenkins - one of the technocommunists from whom they take their marching orders? Is it a plan to turn us into a nation of brony-loving, rainbow-pooping yiffers? Is it yet another tendril of the monster that has become the Occupy Movement? The Rabelaisian quality of the evening suggested that perhaps they were planning a 21st Century Carnival of the Grotesque. Only one thing is for sure: In the hall of mirrors that is the Interwebs, we may never know.

 

[I apologize for my extended absence, loyal Herald readers, but I had some offworld things to attend to. Please accept along with my apology this week's model, Justine Babii, in a special SLebrity edition of Post 6. As you can see from the pictures, Justine is amazing and a pleasure to work with. Thank you Justine for dragging me back into this.~Timothy Morpork]

Hello Herald! I like to call this pose "Putting your money where your mouth is!"

For those who don't know me, I used to be a blogger for several SL news services, and I was also the Post 6 Photographer for a while. I dropped out of Second Life for a couple of years and have now found my way back.

One of the few people on my friends list who is regularly on these days is Carol Pixelmaid-Morpork, wife of Post 6 Photographer Timothy, so she and I hang out a lot. Recently, Timothy got me to pose for his Beautiful Avatars blog, and so I took advantage of that to get him to help get the Herald moving again.

"Why don't you pose?!" Timothy said. His wife Carol joined him in praising this as a good idea. I have to say I see the merit of it, as Timothy does make me look a LOT better than I usually feel And now you see why I also call this pose, "Putting your money where your mouth is."

So, you get to see the news lady naked, the bits the blogger probably wants to keep off the webs. I'd do that for the Herald. It's a worthy cause and I hope any of you who agree with me will contact Timothy Morpork and sign up to do Post 6, or if you have a story idea, contact me, or if you can write, contact Pixeleen for an interview. Let's re-energize the best game blog, the best virtual world blog, the best virtual news source....whatever this is, let's get it going again.

Finally, in the rider in my "appearing nekkid" contract there are a couple of things I get as perks. In addition to Jimbo Quality picking the brown M&M's out of the bowls in my dressing room, I have the right to plug my friend Carol's store, and, despite his protestations, plug her husband Timothy's blog, where you can see more of me from the Post 6 shoot as well as his other awesome pictures.

Thank you Timothy for coming back, and thank you for making me look so beautiful. I hope you all like the pictures, they were fun to make and the start of what I hope is many more great weeks of Post 6 here on the Alphaville Herald.
