Whats your claim to fame?

Oh I forgot this claim to fame. I went to high school with Michael Jordan.

I am Michael Jordan

I'm feeling nostalgic. I'll try to keep it on a timeline but I doubt I'll get it straight ...

Claim to fame in SL:

When LL first added the Gallery forum (no snapzilla yet), I created a thread covering the Pre-historic Stone Age event hosted by Lynn Lippmann. It was a silly narrative told in pictures. I started out as a curious newbie, then transformed into a rabid cavegirl. T'was fun it was.

Then I saw a thread posted by Ulrika Zugzwang asking for folks to join her for a collaboration for the Linden-sponsored Animation contest. I signed up. And then came forth the historical SL-Thriller rendition. I only made clothes at the time and provided the tattered zombie costumes. Then Ulrika suggested I make a wig for her (she saw I made a wig for myself). I did ... I was hesitant but she believed in my skills. She wore it in the video as well.

Playing around in Photoshop.

I saw another thread posted by Foxy Xevious asking for people to join in making a Halloween-themed sim. I IM'd her and offered my zombie costumes along with a complete zombie skin I made. These were distributed freely as prizes for those who explore SimHorror.

Umm, I joined the 2nd annual Burning Life. I made an exhibit called Tamed Frustration that was featured in Hamlet Linden's NWN. It was the first sculpture I ever made.

I continued making more sculptures until it caught the attention of Tayzia Abbatoir, curator of the Crescent Moon Museum. I contribute my artwork there now.

Foxy Xevious approached me among others to pose for Ariel Roentgen. So that Ariel can create a portfolio of pictures depicting the beauty of Chinatown and the beauty of avatars. It wasn't a big deal. But Chinatown was an awesome project, and we tied into that.

I joined the Linden's 2004 Winter Art Expo. I made a piece called "No Reason to Dispair."

I bought land in Boardman and helped in the creation of a crackhouse to the residents' chagrin. Suburbia just didn't feel right without having something ugly in there. So if you hear Boardman crackhouse, that's us. Sorry.

Joined 2005 Burning Life. Made a piece called "Embracing Id."

And along the way, I've been making hair.

In RL: I have several relatives who are in that realm of Hollywood, politics, in the states and abroad. When they talk about who've they met or seen, my eyes glaze over.

I made the venganza.org guy laugh... but it was an email laugh so it probably doesn't count. I also made Jeremy Kyle laugh a couple of times on air... but he's British so it probably doesn't count.

Hmmm . . . ok ...

Played volleyball against a team of SNL players, including John Belushi. Went out for Italian food after, their team and mine. (John Belushi was very quiet.) Went on a date with one of them later. (Not John Belushi.)

Went out with a singer named Dion.

Dated Tony Randall's cousin for a year.

Had a conversation with June Lockhart.

Was given perfume as a Christmas gift by Liz Smith. (The best perfume I have ever smelled, it was from France, but I forgot to write down its name!)

Met Gene Shallit and Judith Krantz.

Dated a 92-year old broker from my dance class at the American Ballet Theater.

Watched Edward Villela rehearse.

Met the staff of Mad Magazine.

Saw Bernadene Dorn's underpants.

Served tea to Hal Holbrook. (As a waitress.)

Made dinner for Antonia Brico. (As my guest.)

Went out with the U.N. ambassador from Mexico.

And probably some other stuff I'm not remembering right now.

P.S. Oh yeah, discussed adoption with Valerie Harper.

No fame in SL, I just joined this past week.

However, I've acheived a couple of thing in RL, one of which was 6th runner up in a recent darkwave remix contest. Actually, other than being the biggest postwhore on a couple of other sites, that's all I can think of.

I'll trade my John Belushi for your Ozzy Osbourne, Kornation! Oh wait, he's dead. OK, I'll throw in Prince Rainier, too! Oh wait, he's dead, too. Well anyway, I wish I had your Ozzy Osbourne! How is it that he covered you with water? Do tell!

This is one of those deals where everybody goes "pfft" and ignores you, then a few years later we see Jack Nicholson on TV talking about how he used to Play Second Life under the name Lecktor Hannibal.

Now THAT is cool!

That would be funny!

("Yes really I am the Forefather of Gothop, No I do not mind taking a snapshot with you really. No bother..."

I could list dozens of things but I think turning 3 years old last Saturday is my biggest.

RL

Had dinner with with Neal Stephenson.

SL

No real claim to fame other than I played beta, bailed on the lifetime account offer, came back with a new name, and after 2 years I'm still nobody

SL - I'm among the elite and esteemed People Who Have Names With Seven or More Syllables.

Being instantly recogniseable by name as "that bitch off the forums"

Bumpy!
