Strawberry Singh’s Zodiac Meme: You Got My Goat!

Who says Peep is a horny old goat? ;)
Who says Peep is a horny ole goat? 😉

Ah, the stereotypical pick-up line gets a fresh twist! This week, Berry want’s to know, “What’s your sign?” But more than that, she wants to know our feelings about astrology and to illustrate our posts with an image that reflects our signs.

Here’s what we’re supposed to do:

Meme instructions: Copy and paste the following questions and answers into your post; then delete my answers and input your own. Don’t forget to leave a comment (here) with a link to your post so we can all come by and check it out!

1 What is your birthday and/or Zodiac sign? – My birthday is December 27, making me a Capricorn, the Goat (thus, the horns).

2. Do you believe in or follow astrology? – No, not at all. I have a general idea of when a few star signs fall, but for the most part I don’t give it much credence.

3. Do you feel your sign’s attributes reflect who you are? – I had to look them up lol but a lot of them do seem to fit. I am pragmatic, I have a strong work ethic (although I attribute that more to my upbringing that to my star sign), I can be cynical, appear to be stand-offish and I can be funny. What doesn’t fit is the materialistic traits. I’m not into status symbols and while I am ambitious, I am not cut-throat. I am not tight-fisted. And I am certainly not afraid to show the softer, more emotional side of myself.

4. Have you ever been to a psychic or astrologer either in RL or in SL (are there any in SL?) Newp. Although I did spring for the free astrology birth chart from Cafe Astrology 😉

5. Do you read your horoscope daily and try to follow any advice, recommendations or warnings it may have for you that day? Never. I have glanced at them in magazines or newspapers while waiting in a doctor’s office, but I have never sought out astrological advice.

6. Do you have very strong feelings about astrology, either negative or positive? My ambivalence could not be greater.

I’m not sure why I chose latex to wear with my horns. But hell, I figured if I was going to look horny, I may as well look sexy 😉

Why Buy The Cao…

1 Being Cao_006

I have a friend who is a Cao. She is a beautiful, smart, funny (retired) model who makes me laugh and cry when I read her blog. From her antics with Spanx to the tales of her Jack Russell Terrorist and her Date Night escapades to her touching, insightful posts about life, love and death, her blog is one I never miss.

As I mentioned, she is a retired model, so her unique shape is sacrosanct. She created it to achieve a look that set her apart in the Second Life fashion world. Couture is not my forte, so while I am unschooled in Second Life modeling practices, I have no doubt it is similar to the stories we hear about RL fashionistas: fiercely competitive with some models doing anything to get ahead. From what I have read in Cao’s blog, there are many models who are friends and friendly with one another – even helpful – but there also those who, sadly, try to sabotage others.

During Hair Fair, Cao – who has been personally touched by the loss to cancer of someone she loved – offered up her shape to the highest bidder, with the proceeds going to Wigs For Kids. During the auction, someone in the modeling community threatened to steal and sell her shape. This upset her on more than one level – yes, her shape certainly assisted her in her modeling career and to see it hawked on Marketplace for sale to anyone with a few Lindens was distressing, but more so it was the fact that this person would potentially take away bidders for her shape and real dollars for this wonderful charity. So she changed the rules – anyone who bid at least 1000L (her original opening bid) would receive a copy of her shape AND she would contribute an additional 10,000L of her own to this cause. And she ended up contributing 56,502L to Wigs For Kids through this unselfish exercise.

Can you see why I love this little Cao? And why I “bought the Cao”?

Rod Rocks!

Rod DJs with me

Last night, after recovering enough music to put together a set, I did my 2-4am DJ gig at Breaking The Rules. It was an interesting set, to say the least. It seems my SAM didn’t like a lot of the music I had chosen and kicked out about half of my playlist. So I was DJing on the fly! He also didn’t want me to speak, apparently – he rejected my voice over music for my first two planned mic breaks. I finally got him to accept “I’ve Got A Lovely Bunch Of Coconuts” for my voice over, only to forget I had shoved my microphone on top of my headset so nobody could hear me. Sighs…one of those “If it could go wrong” kind of nights!

But then, I realised I had a secret weapon – something to watch over me and keep the remainder of my set running smoothly. Would anything in Second Life dare to misbehave if I dragged out my good friend and one-time date, Flat Rod?

Rod DJs with me and Hope

Hell no! The rest of my set ran smoothly, although I’m not sure what happened to my host, Hope’s hair when he appeared o.O I guess maybe Rod only protects the one he’s closest to!

I did have one moment, though, when I was a bit suspect of Rod’s motives…

Rod DJs with me and perves

Was he keeping an eye on the DJ board to see what was being played, or was he checking out our bums?

For once, Rod was mute. Probably for the best – the way his eyes were popping out of his head, I suspect the latter 😉
