I will update this post with more as it comes in. The press conference was a huge success and I hope to see you all at Rouge tomorrow at 2PM. Codie is exhausted but so damn happy. I wish to thank all of you. Much ?????????.

Since this is heading to be huge, I may have to lock the sim to group only during the party. I strongly suggest to everyone to get a CodeRed VIP group membership by simply contacting me inworld.

Many many many thanks to everyone that made all of this possible. First to Eshi Otawara, my building heroine. To Fallon Kazan for being amazingly generous and give me that sim for almost nothing. To Mairead Fitzgerald for making a gorgeous gown that will be given for free. To Alexx Markova for making a new 40 poses Boudoir Rouge poseset that will be put on sale on the opening day to finance the sim. To all the generous DJs and sponsors that accepted my invite. To all the blogging and press community for making much noise about this sim. To all my adorable friends and lovers, and I won’t name any of you in fear of forgetting anyone. Your friendships mean everything to me, I cherish you all, for being so generous, supportive, open minded and delightful people. I ????????? you all.

A press conference will be held Friday the 4th at 6PM SLT for all bloggers and journalists interested to know more about Rouge and the opening event. I will also offer a guided tour preview of the sim after the press conference. Those interested can ask for a press pass directly to CodeBastard Redgrave.

The party will include an impressive lineup of DJs to entertain you, including Nexeus Fatale and Amanda Shinji, among others awaiting confirmation. There will be gifts distributed all night. Boudoir Rouge artwork will be on display for you to enjoy, or to acquire those exclusive pieces to support the sim activities. Many surprises awaits on this unique and magical night to come. The dress code is anything red, or lingerie, or naked (you read well).

The Rouge sim is a unique and amazing piece of work created by building and design luminary Eshi Otawara. The whole sim is a concept never done before in SecondLife both in the aestethical and spatial organization sense. It’s purpose is to host the new version of the legendary Code Red Lounge, the new Rouge gallery walk and a new store, just called Rouge, that will sustain financially the sim’s cultural and artistic activities. The Rouge store will include products from multiple content designers, of course most of it themed with the red color.

The new sim will be hosting various events, from art events to fashion shows, and will be available for rent to any organization needing it for holding special events. It is also an awesome leisure resort where Secondlifers can come anytime they want for a good time in good company, in a very spectacular setting. It is a VIP club but will be open to the public as soon as the sim is officially launched.

You know, sometimes I almost believe karma exist. For some good time now I plan to buy my own sim to make a new headquarter for my activities. Well, sparing the details, my ex-GF Fallon popped into my IM with the big question: “Will you take my sim?”. Stunned I was especially after several months of no-talky. She made me an offer I just could not refuse, considering I was already intending to buy a sim at regular price. Basically I had to pay the transfer fees of 100$ and she gave me the sim, which has been transferred to me a week ago. So I am now the mommy of a less than a year old full Class 5 baby.

This sim will be the new headquarters for all my operations, hosting events and parties for the Code Red crew, the OPC store, selected designers, and the new Code Red gallery, where I will move the exclusive Boudoir Rouge collection for sale. The sim will also host my studios where I will continue my photography work. The old Code Red land in Strata is going to be resold and the old Code Red build demolished after more than 1 year of loyal services, hosting some of the most incredible parties to have hit the grid.

Some of you may have heard it’s no one than building designer luminary Eshi Otawara that is in charge of terraforming and building the whole sim. This is absolutely true, Eshi asked me if she could do it, so I gave her the list of my needs, and the keys to be Estate Manager. I can assure you I have absolutely no regret of doing so, because the results are already stunningly fantastic.

Through a handful of friends have already seen the incomplete build, Eshi is heading toward completion in the next days, we asked our visitors to refrain from spoiling the surprise and not publish pictures of the sim until we do the official launch. The sim is currently locked to Code Red members. But those who have had the chance to see it are pretty much unanimous: this sim is probably one of the most unique and amazing you may have never seen in SL.

Even if not completed, Eshi surpassed herself in skills and imagination and created one of the most completely surreal and innovative environments you could ever imagine.

The launch will happen real soon, exact date remains to be confirmed. A communique is being prepared and will be sent, along with a VIP press pass, to a select list of media representatives and bloggers. The event may be VIP (group members only) so make sure to request me an add to the group if you don’t want to miss probably what will be the most epic bash of Code Red’s history.

Code Red will finally emerge as what I always wanted it to be, a place where it is fantastic to live and hang out, free of the mainland ugliness and parcel size limitations, forcing us to pile up. I wanted a place where art can not only exist, but live and evolve. In the next days Code Red will morph into a beautiful red butterfly, and you my friends will be the witnesses.

But this is not one of those posts. You around me all knows how crazy hectic it is for me lately. So many things happening in a short time, in both lives. I will spare you the RL crap apart to say im getting help for my lack of sleep and plan to rest more. And my SL is always more and more amazing as it goes, the ?????????, the people, the fire of creativity burning holes into my soul… I am one fuckin lucky betch to have you all in my life, supporting me in such a caring way it leaves me weeping with bliss. I am humbled, honored, and devoid of words to tell how grateful I am to everyone around me. Thank you all, so much.

I’m rushing to finish the Boudoir Rouge series, about 25 left to do, and started scrambling again with the MachinimaCam codebase. We are in the last days of organizing the art exhibits at SL5B, task made maybe a little bit more heavy on my heart with all the surrounding drama. I will refrain of commenting furthermore until this event is done, not by fear or even by ethics, but because it drained me so fucking much I decided to go with the “Let’s do this and get on with it” attitude. Which is not exactly what I expected by volunteering for what is supposedly a resident ran event. Through all of this I managed to setup the Boudoir Rouge kiosk, and the China Red kiosk on the Asian Culture sim. Despite that little sadness in my heart, I will try and focus on the positive, the art, the people, and making sweet new friends.

In much more exciting new, something BIG is coming on my friends, read more in the next post.

So sick and tired of getting leeched
Harassed by the ill intent
Increasing the daily burden
Until my rage exploded indeed

I just wanted to go away
Just wanted to find myself again
And then I want to find my way
Until I can loose myself again

Lost in the metaverse…

And from vectors I am born again
Clash of cultures so deep it burns
Rebaked from another world
May it all be in vain

Submerged sorrows of sweetness
Clock timer beats binary
Social standards may subgress
Humankind redefined, supersized identity

The more I dig, the more I plunge
Losing my identity on itself
With the rage of despair I grudge
Into remaining myself

Fucking lost in the metaverse…

I never thought it would make me blind
Mesmerized with all the beauty
To meet so many of the same kind
Makes me want to drift to eternity

It is the passion in my eyes
That redefines my reality
Before what’s left of my time flies
I must achieve my destiny

Spray that ugly world with a speck of red dust
Trying to feel human again
Until my other reality fades into loss
I shall rise alive in ????????? again

Faded away in the metaverse…
