"MY" Lively - Part VI

From Laura:

Laura's place

Of course, I can't speak of "MY" Lively rooms leaving out mine own, "laura's place"

I wanted (as usual!!) to bring a bit of my RL into the virtual world, so I chose a simple shell and created a very ordinary flat. I put pics on the walls showing myself, my cats, my husband and even my home, so I could tell visitors:"that is me!" "that is my world!"

I also put a screen playing videos of folk music and dancing. One of these showed two musicians playing bourrées (traditional French dances) on their hurdy-gurdies. One day Raven came to visit the room. He stood in front of the screen in silence and finally said, "I'm enthralled"

The room was so plain and ordinary that...for Lively standards, it was very original!

... so it was very successful... it was often on the first page, and I had lots of visitors... Actually, I met many of my Lively friends in that room...

....Emma Goldman, with her very serious, grey-haired, jacketed avatar... Emma created a lovely room later, a Museum, but it was too big and I lagged all the time, so didn't visit her much...

...Sweet, who called me "honey", which I found very funny - actually she called everybody honey! One evening, she came with her teenage "niece" - actually her alter ego - and a tiresome child arrived who wanted Sweet to be her "mum" and the "niece" to be her friend... Sweet was very annoyed and we didn't know how to get rid of the little pest!......

....Mikey, with his funny English guitar.......

......Adrian, who spoke admiringly of Kos because she knew exactly what had to be done and told him "do this" "do that".......

... there was another guy whose name i don't remember who came almost every day - he only spoke Spanish and in spite of this, i was able to chat with him!.....

.....another regular visitor was Maxm, who created such beautiful rooms... i had the honour of being one of the very first people to see his wonderful "Seven Selves" room before it was published....

.....and so many others....
