The RMK Bunny Hunt...Nice Idea.

My friend Kitana Baxton and I did the RMK Bunny Hunt over the weekend.  It was a cute idea but sort of lost in translation.
We got  dressed in low script/low prim, theme-worthy gear to get in the spirit.
You go to the skybox landing point, and if all the signs & things don't rez due to router issues *cough* then you don't see the sign that says to walk through the frame.  And that's just the beginning.   Once you've walked through the door under Humpty Dumpty's butt on the wall you land on the actual sim--which is very cutely decorated with all things Alice in Wonderland and start to see bunnies flying all over the place and people running amuck.
So now what to do?  Check the blog...nothing.  Check blogs from people who've blogged about the hunt and try to make sense of what you're supposed to do.  Okay...so we got it.  Watch the bunny and once it sh*ts out a ticket, really quickly buy it and *take* it.  (Don't count on the multi-language blog to give you that lil tidbit.)
Once I started getting a headache watching the temp rez bunnies flying ass over teakettle,  I finally just planted myself firmly near the water as no one was there and I could easily see and just fish for them, as it were.  I start getting tickets and crash a few times due to the hundreds of scripts running and aforementioned router issues.  Finally, I finished up on Monday evening...okay there are some that I didn't get because I had had just about enough of it.  One lovely encounter with someone was that they came running over to one of the bunnies I'd been watching for what seemed like an hour & a half and when it sh*t out a ticket she grabbed it and had the nerve to i.m. me and tell me not to do this, that I was "robbing" her of a bunny.  "Really?" I said.  And gave her a short answer about how I wasn't "robbing" her of anything.  Another lovely encounter was a little girl in these "cute" little frog Uggs as she bounced happily all over the sim, following bunny after bunny and each time she bounced, her boots let out a frog noise...cute...NOT.
Maybe it was because I also got the stomach flu over the weekend but I had run out of patience.  So I went over to the ticket trading table to do a little trading of my extras.  Two asshats sat on me.  That was polite.  I asked if someone would like to trade for the extras I had and someone did trade me one of the tickets.  Fast forward to tonight, when my friend i.m's me and says that one of the people she traded with gave her a ticket that had already been redeemed.  Since I hadn't redeemed all of my tickets --because by the way, you get to hunt for the redemption places too--I checked the ticket that I had traded for and sure enough, it had been redeemed also.  So far, the gifts that I had the patience to find and redeem have been very nice, and I discovered many new-to-me places and great items to buy, so that was good.  All of the hunters though?  Meh...I think this was a great concept, but it seems that maybe there was a communication problem between the people putting it on, the hunters, and the participants.  The stores involved were all VERY nice though, and I don't mean to be ungrateful because I'm not.
Since I was having so many danged issues, this was the best picture I could get of Kitana and me...my mesh bunny head and Kitana's beautiful wig weren't rezzing for me.  GRR!
Finally, I needed to just sit and be pissed. I had a *Bunny Hunt Fail*

It's a beautiful Diva life!

Okay, first off, I sucked at keeping up with the 52 Weeks of Color Challenge.  So, I give up and will now just take pictures when I'm inspired.  Which I was with some new group gifts I received.
 
D!va gave out a 30,000 member group gift of a sweet red dress to be warn long or short along with GORGEOUS floral decoration around the neckline and you can add flowers to your hair. Plus, they gave a fatpack of hair with matching flowers which are all color change.  I'm soooooooo ready for summer and stargazer lilies are some of my favorite flowers so I haven't been able to take this off!  I also got the cute skin with teeth group gift from Al Vulo!  I just love these generous people who give so much of their digital art.  I appreciate those who can create such amazing things for our avies to wear!  I wish I was as talented.

The shape is one I'm working on which will be released in my store, Shape it Up! very soon. I found a beautiful garden for my pictures and jacked up the settings on my laptop for pictures.

What used to be fun is now just irritating.

I used to enjoy logging in and popping over to some fun places to dance, listen to good music or just get out of my sl home/workshop.  The last 2 times I've tp'd over to one of my rl/sl husband's favorite places, I've been accused of scoping out someone else's "man".  Really????  (I guess they could see my camera views, but really, I was trying to cam in on  SOMETHING that would actually rez on my laptop which used to render things okay but with the latest "upgrades" from Linden Labs has left me feeling like my gaming laptop is a piece of crap!)  I really and honestly do not give two shits about your "man" who is actually probably a) a woman b) a 300 pound male who couldn't get a woman in real life anyway c) not my husband so I really don't give another shit about who you're sldancing with anyway!!  My rl/sl husband is 3 feet away from me playing Everquest thankyouverymuch!
And another thing...with the last update, while I am supposedly on the mesh viewer, my mesh stuff (including furniture) either does or doesn't show up and I'm a ghost & have to rebuild myself.  What a pain in the ass!  I've been messing with this for about 2 hours!  Thank you for the enriched experience Linden Labs but I'm about to say buh-bye!
I'm considering checking out the other sites that are like sl used to be.
