Last night was Ellia’s “Not Birthday” and she had this cute idea, get a bunch of Junkyard Blues girlfriends and do what we girls do best — go shopping! If you’ve ever gone shopping in Second Life with even one person, you know it’s awkward using text chat. But Ellie had this great idea, get everyone on a group voice chat using Skype.

I wasn’t sure how many girls would show up, but in the past on adventures when we’ve used Skype it seemed that things got a bit noisy when we had more than a half-dozen peeps.

Well, we had about a dozen women in total and I thought the girls did a great job of chatting without overwhelming each other. I’d heard maybe half of the women’s voices in the past and recognized them. Other’s it tool a little time to where I could identify them by their voice, and by the end of the evening all the voices seemed to have their own signatures.

Anyway, here’s a few photos I shot of us as we went on a shopping rampage across the Grid:

We started out shopping for dances,
that’s Ellie in the tall brown boots (right).

Our shopping took us to many stores and malls.
At this mall our shopping frenzy was just getting going.
That’s Ellie in the middle with her long blonde hair.

I’m doing this from memory, so if I missed anyone let me know. It was Ellie’s party and the girlfriends included Ali, Cas, LeLe, Reece, Sommer, Tippy, Clovah, Merry, Gracee, Kizzy and Yordie. Yeah, a huge group of girls gone wild, shopping! heh

HAPPY NOT-BIRTHDAY ELLIE!
