Prom Event

Lady Selene and DJ Dani held a lovely lag free Prom Event recently.  After the event Dani took photos of everyone to capture the memory!

Best in Hawaii

Ladies Minda and Tagthis cohosted the Best in Hawaii  recently.  Count Str provided the music for this fun event.  We shook our coconuts and wiggled our grass skirts with the best of them!

Bloodlines Help: Key Grabber

Sometimes if you have a new avatar you are trying to turn, the Bloodlines products vendor will not deliver the HUD when gifted.

It does not recognize their name since they are so "young" or new. If this is the case, have the person "touch" the red or yellow pyramid (key grabber) near the vendor board.  This will put their name in the system to be recognized.

Their new HUD should be delivered within 15 minutes after doing so.  I often have the person touch the key grabber first just to avoid frustration and the chance they might change their minds in having to wait so long.

Best in Kinky!

Ladies Tag and Minda hosted this event with DJ Alex spinning the tunes!  Old Divine friend Skyler Peapod dropped in to perv say hello as well!  Freya, Rubi and Destiny took home the prize winnings ~ those naughty girls!

Why I do what I do

This blog tends to take up more of my time than I care to admit.  Less than it used to, however. I don't meticulously edit the photos and include everyone's names like before.  But I do attend every single event that happens if I am online.  I document it.  I take photos, I take notes on who hosted, DJ'd, sometimes who won, or something worthwhile that happened while we were there.  I will reminisce on what made it special for me too. 

Although I doubt most of the clan knows we have a blog, or those that do don't read it. And that's fine. I don't do it for the pat on the back. I learned long ago never to do anything for a pat on the back.  I do it because I love my clan. I do it to show where we have been, what we have accomplished, how we have perservered.  If it makes you smile or feel something positive, well that is a bonus too.

Many people have come and gone over the years. It happens. Some get butthurt, some expect huge things that are impossible to ever live up to. Some are drama whores.  Some have huge egos and try to run things without realizing the endless time and effort involved.  Some leave to run their own clans.  Some leave and come back.  If nothing else I am a seasoned player and I have learned to live with the ebb and flow of it all. 

I guess my point is this- Divine is my Second Life. It's all I do. It's all I ever have done.  This blog allows me to capture and share the memories with others. I try to include some educational things as well to benefit others in the Bloodlines game. If you ever leave Second Life, I hope you can look back with fond memories the fun you had with us all.  And that my friends, is enough for me.

Best in Gypsy!

Princess Lara does it again! This time she decorated and DJ'd the Best in Gypsy event.  The Cops & Robbers event that was scheduled was cancelled so she stepped up and created this awesome platform in under an hour!  She included some terrific old songs that had us reminiscing including this song for Freya :).  After the event we sat around the fire and just chilled. It was wonderful!

MABON!!

Happy Fall Ya'll!   Blessings for an Autumn Equinox!   Merry Mabon!   

The first day of Autumn was September 23 in the Northern Hemisphere this year and Divine celebrated with a lovely Mabon ritual.  First we danced and rang in the glorious new season with rock songs provided by Princess Lola who DJ'd the event.

We concluded the celebration with a Mabon ritual recited by Lady Kumani who hosted the event.  A circle was cast, quarters were called by Zee, Lola, Laini and Freya. Kumani and Freya then recited the rest of the ritual as Goddess and God, respectively.  The circle was opened once again and we all felt the energy, love, and light it provided.  Special thanks to our friends from Ventrue Coven who came to help us celebrate. 





Meet the Royals- Prince and Princess Group

Our clan is blessed with some awesome members.  The Prince and Princess group have worked long and hard to achieve their position within the clan.  Their expertise puts them in a managerial type position being in charge of some of the other groups or duties.  If you see them on lands, say hello, add to friends! They are here to help!

Prince Lei Jigsaw

Lei joined the clan back in January of 2009 in its early beginnings. He is in charge of the Counts and Countesses group. Lei is also a very popular DJ within SL with a huge fanbase.

Princess Audrey Rascon

Audrey joined the clan in August 2009.  A dynamic player always willing to help.  She is highly knowledgeable in Bloodlines.  She also plays Bloodlines WAR as a master pylon thief! Previously in charge of the Duke and Duchess group, she now runs the Counselors group.

Prince Tar Garnburg

Tar joined Divine in August of 2009 as well.  He left briefly to run his own clan but is back once again.  Tar is in charge of the Role Play group as well as the Baron and Baroness group.  Tar also created and maintains the Royal Gallery in front of the castle.

Princess Lola Laroway

Lola joined Divine in November of 2009. As owner and designer of LL Creations, she has a very full Second Life! She is also a DJ and in charge of the Lords and Ladies group which hosts our daily events.  She has a masters degree in Psychology and is a Counselor for the clan as well!

Princess Valerie Firethorn

Val joined Divine in August of 2010.  She has tremendous skill as a hunter and maintains a huge line in the game.  She is fiercely loyal to Divine and often demonstrates that fact much to the chagrin of other clans.  She is in charge of the Duke and Duchess group.

Princess Lara Darkbyrd

Lara joined Divine in April of 2010.  An accomplished designer of her skin and clothing line, Mystic Canvass, and blogmaster.   Our resident Fembot is also a DJ and a previous counselor for the clan.  She helps the L&L with platform setup for their events. She is in charge of land rentals and fundraisers for the clan.

Paranormal Sunday 9-18-11

Paranormal Sunday 9-18-11_001, a photo by freyasmoon on Flickr.

This week's theme was Dreams. A fascinating discussion on why we have them, theories about them, time travel and Deja vu's, and how to interpret them. Kumani does an extremely thorough job each week in her research to help educate, inform and enlighten those who attend. This special event is held each Sunday from 10AM - Noon SLT. Come join the regulars!

PROM!!!

I know this is hella late but I was waiting for some info. Ah well.  Lusty held this event  twice to accomodate the worldly time schedules of our various members.  DJ'd once by Reagan and once by Lola, this romantic event brought back some really fun memories.  Lusty had some photo balls set up as well for the lovely couples.  These pictures are from both events.

Best in Dragon Event

This event was a while back with Sky hosting and Raven as the DJ.  I remember I found a cool makeout spot hidden inside the water fountain.  Lara decorated the joint with the most badass stuff! Loved the dragon's blood dripping flowers the most.  AS  for the pictures, well... there's some dude, some other dude, some chick dancing, a dragon, dragonslayer, and KT is in there somewhere. ahahaha. Was very cool as I remember!

Star Wars? Heck yes!

Lady Airlia hosted this fun event with Princess Lara DJing. We couldn't resist being a little nerdy quoting the movie and reminiscing.  That is what is so great about our events! They allow you to immerse a different side of yourself each time. Even if it's not your "thing", it's a blast trying out something new.

Starry Night

Lady Kumani held this incredible event a few Fridays back.  She took her idea of Van Gogh's famous painting to Duchess Lola. Lola took that concept one step further and created a platform allowing us to be inside the painting. It was awe inspiring!

Best in Mini

Mini avatars, mini skirts, mini people! It was all about "let's get small". Lola DJ'd this one on the rooftop with Freya hosting for Laini.  Suze was the smallest and took away the big prize of $L1000!

Weird AV

Yeah, we knew ya'll were weird.  Good thing SL has plenty of weird AV's to choose from to let that side of you shine.  This recent event showed off your less than normal side. haha!

Spooky Stories Event 9-6-11

Str and Daisy's Wedding

Daisy and Str's wedding was held in a beautiful sim filled with daisies, loved ones, and much happiness.  Standing for Daisy were Ravensong, Freyasmoon, Skylah and Tagthis.  Standing for Str were  Tar, Rikk, CJ, and Zoie.  Congrats to the newlyweds!!

Hen Party #1!

Daisy had not one, but two hen parties (aka Bachelorette parties) before her wedding to Str! The first one she could not attend due to internet issues. Those are the photos posted here. Sadly I missed the second one but I can imagine the debauchery!!! Male strippers? YES PLEASE!!

Best in Neko!

Lord Griff hosted a Best in Neko event on the castle roof recently. With awesome DJ Duke Cuda spinning the tunes it was an awesome party.  We commented how it was a flashback to 2009 with those of us old Divine members Lola, Cuda, Freya and others wearing tails and dancing on the castle roof.  Wildwindfire won the contest with her naughty tail and pasties.
