So ... I think I just got "skinny shamed".
I've been fat shamed before in real life, because I am a bit overweight, plus I'm just a bigger person in general. But now, I can honestly say I know what feels like on the other side of that coin.
I was DJ'ing at Fallen tonight and one of the VIPs made a comment along the lines of "gives River a cheeseburger and fries" ... and followed that up a while later with adding in some dessert. I didn't even know this person, and had not seen them before tonight.
I was kind of stunned.
I just made a new shape today, because I got the new [AK] Maia Bento head. I personally don't think I look too skinny, I think I have a rather athletic look, which I really like. I'm certainly not all skin and bones ... but you know what? Even if I was?
So what?!!
Its my choice as to what I look like in SL. There's just no reason that anyone should be shaming anyone for what they look like - large, small, tall, short, or otherwise!!

Wow! So Much Time!
The only excuse that I can give for not posting to this blog since ... 2014?! Is that life has been pretty crazy in both RL and SL.
Fallen Angels BDSM Club is still open and going strong, thank you all very much! We have some amazing staff members, and even more amazing VIPs that bring a sincere sense of joy to Fallen. Even on the days when things are hard (and believe me, as a club owner you see a lot of those!), those people have a way of bringing a smile to my face and letting me know that in the end, its all going to be just fine.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
A lot of people talk about "family" in SL - and unfortunately, we see a lot of those families come and go on the grid. One day, everything is fine and dandy, and the next day, all hell has broken loose, people are hating on eachother, and the drama level has gone sky-high. I am so very fortunate, that, in my SL, I only have to watch that happening from a distance. Sometimes, a short distance, but still a distance. The little group of people that I have surrounded myself with since 2007 are, for the most part, still around, and I think that we are the true meaning of what family actually is. And, keep in mind, that some of these people have actually been around since BEFORE Second Life! That makes it even more special! Our little group has seen its ups and downs. There's been arguments, out and out fights, even a couple of deaths (RL) - but we have managed to keep hold of the true meaning of "family" throughout it all. I honestly don't think that I could be more blessed with a group of friends than I am right now, at this moment.
Ohana, Hakuna Matata, and all that jazz. :-D
