Scylla Rhiadra Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 (edited) Dahlings, I need your help! Something of an emergency has arisen, and I am absolutely beside myself! Last night, I attended a performance of Turandot by the Ahern Opera Company. It was largely satisfactory, I thought, although I felt that the singer in the role of Timur rather rushed his lines. Two years ago in Milan, while visiting with Donatella, I saw a much better produc . . . Well, never mind that now. Before the performance my date and I had dinner at the Bay City Yacht Club. Yes, I know, the standards there have been slipping, and I wouldn't be at all surprised to see them downgraded in Michelin at some point soon, but have you tried their Dover Sole? Dahling, it's divine. And the ambiance is still unmatched. I do so love Erté and the Art Deco, don't you? But I digress. As I was making my way to the powder room after dinner, I passed a young woman just emerging. And she was wearing . . . I'm sorry . . . a moment please. . . . Apologies, I simply had to compose myself. I'm better now. She was wearing . . . "jeggings." Honestly, I feel a little soiled even using that word. In a more just world, I wouldn't even have to know what they were. But alas, O Tempora O Mores, no? I blame Millennials. I was quite beside myself, and too shocked to even say anything. Is this what we've come to? Is this how we now treat places of style, culture, and beauty? By desecration? Did she sneak in the delivery entrance? Thank God I had already eaten: I doubt I could have swallowed a morsel after witnessing that. I have of course sent a sternly worded letter to the proprietor, but the experience was so upsetting that I've decided to ask for your help also. Can one of you very clever people, using that, you know, "code" thing that you do, produce a HUD (that is the correct word, is it not?) that automatically hides (Francesca tells me the term is "derenders") people wearing (that word again!) "jeggings"? It would be SUCH service if you did. I would be so very grateful! And while you're at that, perhaps there are a few other items we might all do well without? "Crop tops" for one, and "tanks" (*shudder*). Maybe also "cargo pants"? You can send a DM to my PA, Francesca. There's no rush of course, but I will be going out again on Friday night, and it would be lovely to feel secure from another such shock. Thank you so much dahlings, you're all such dears! Mwah mwah! Scylla Edited October 10, 2023 by Scylla Rhiadra Francesca has corrected an error I made. "Derenders"? Learn something new every day, I've always said. 3 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ValKalAstra Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 (edited) Derendering might be difficult with scripts but I could make a script that would automatically hose them with a spray of water if they come too close, sort of like how some raise stubborn cats. Could even add that psssst, psssst sound. Edited October 10, 2023 by ValKalAstra 2 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Love Zhaoying Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 I suppose, when standing next to one's Alt, one is always "besides one's self"! If you find that you soil your (or your Alt's) jeggings, have you considered wearing an attractive adult diaper either under, or over the jeggings? 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Istelathis Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 (edited) /me slinks into thread I might not be able to write a script for you, but I know of certain individuals, ya see? These individuals, lets just call them gnomes, well they have special talents.. they make socks disappear, ya see? I might be able to convince them to up their game to jeggings, for a price. Now I am going out of my way doing this, ya see? I might be able to accommodate.. your needs, but I am going to need assurance that we will be compensated in full. This is no small time operation, this is going to require a lot of leg work, and you don't want to cross these gnomes, bad things happen to particular articles of clothing when you cross them, lets just say.. you'll never have a matching pair of socks again. The gnome Mafia, strikes again! Edited October 10, 2023 by Istelathis 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luna Bliss Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 I think this is an interesting way to keep the forum alive! We can all write little novels based on one of our SL photos! BTW, Sylvia Plath is the artist for discussion today at The Writers Table, a group that meets at WBH, @ 11 am this morn... We study the artist a bit and then write a poem about how it affected us. Last meeting we studied this guy who made an art piece, a kind of shadow box, based on a constellation. Cassiopeia I found it quite interesting as I developed empathy for those long ago, so connected to the sky. "It's not just humans who like to show their affection. So do cosmic bodies. Located in the constellation of Cassiopeia in the Perseus arm of the Milky Way galaxy and some 7,500 light-years from Earth is IC 1805, aka the Heart Nebula" CASSIOPEIA stories in the sky gazing toward the vastness wanting to know truth i'd like to travel there slip through time when wonder prevailed and our stories on the earth were a part of the sky 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or worse still, shrink? They might just as well be (God forbid!) BOM, if so! And while I have never knowingly shared a room with damp jeggings, I can only imagine that the smell would rival that of wet dog. Not nice. Not nice at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just go with the fashionable leather n fur makeover, with the clutchable pearls, and the anti jegging device, toasty warm, utterly safe, you'll wonder how you managed without it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admittedly the collar on that coat is a *little* over the top, like the one Decker the Blade Runner's replicant girlfriend, wears, but on steroids. But hey that's fashion for you, right? And it does keep the winter wind off the back of your neck. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silent Mistwalker Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 Jeggings = jean leggings as in denim? If so, I've had a couple of pairs for more than 5 years and I like them. Warm and comfy in ways jeans can never be, even stretch jeans. Formal wear, they are not. Dahling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are a master of self-deprecating humor. I am just a little dense sometimes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
