Alexandre Dumas (fils) wrote it in French and although it was translated in English, anglosaxons are more likely to have seen the play, which was rather inexplicably dubbed "Camille". If you haven't seen it on stage, it is possible you saw one of the 8 films that were made (one with Greta Garbo), the last one as recent as the 1980's.

Why on Earth did I organize a public reading with poems from a 2000 year dead poet ? Surely his literary drivel must be just as dusty as what's left from the man's bones! And he wrote Latin!

Ehrm... are we ?You probably heard it. If you didn't, I recommend waking up from your winter slumber. The Lindens are busy implementing changes that will introduce a new concept. We had "Parental Guidance" (PG) and "Mature", now a new status will be defined to discern regions (and later parcels) from each other : "Adult". In brief, Adult regions will be reserved for places with sexualy explicit material.At the Lady Pearlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10508008926304343917noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7560895038201432036.post-1057169449259854072009-02-01T03:44:00.000-08:002010-05-24T02:59:20.269-07:00the rising sunSometimes I wonder about Lady Hagar. I mean, I have met no-one else that can meticulously plan to accidentally disclose the fact that it's her birthday. What a mind. As it happens, someone else was having her birhday too around that time, but this Lady had no qualms whatsoever to share the secret with the rest of the universe.I am certain that we may thank the second lady for having an official Lady Pearlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10508008926304343917noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7560895038201432036.post-68490065048785895872008-11-17T03:53:00.000-08:002008-11-21T02:05:43.657-08:00Josie's goodbyeJB Barnstormer left us. A day of sadness for those who knew this wonderful, soft and caring lady and thought her presence an enrichment for the Pearl.

If buying land was far from your mind thus far : OS sims offered the space of a full sim and 3750 building units (prims) instead of the full 15.000 for a very interesting price; tier fees were 75 US$ a month which made it an interesting product for several Lady Pearlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10508008926304343917noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7560895038201432036.post-40567798397471266972008-11-11T05:54:00.000-08:002008-11-11T07:10:56.266-08:00Hide and SeekThe Australians amongst us were complaining since time memorial that, with most events being aimed at Europe and the US, they had to be put on a coffee diet in order to attend one.

I already get the more awkward visitors to entertain, a consequence of being one of the owners I guess. All the while the sane ones engage in other pursuits, obviously thinking I have too odd tastes.

The average fun loving crowd at the Pearl is quite used to naughty merriment, but privacy is nevertheless an important prerequisite. Group fun, while discussed with blushing cheeks and twinkling eyes, is something that has been rarely embarked upon.
