Day 212: Daisy in Dixie



Today, I decided to find out where the cowboys and cowgirls hang out in Second Life. Ive been to Sigil (which unfortunately isnt there anymore). And for some reason, I feel like Ive been to Tombstone too :P These are role-playing sims. So where do the modern cowboys and cowgirls go to?

So welcome to the Dixie sim, home to Silver Dollar Saloon :)



Bring your horse and best Western outfit! I wonder if Zippy the Unicorn could come too :P



Silver Dollar plays Country favorites, along with other tunes. They even have line dancing :)



What sets Silver Dollar apart is the people. And what they wear :)

Heres your chance to show off your best cowboy boots and 10-gallon hat! Thats right guys, see the sign behind me? :P

Theres a mini-mall upstairs that has all the Western wear and accessories you might need.



And whats a good Western saloon without a bull ride?

Actually, Silver Dollar has one inside and outside. The outside one is an actual rodeo!



Be careful about "sitting" on the bull! :P

I have no clue how to stay on the bull (or even how it works). So is 27 seconds a good time? :)



The Dixie sim is owned by Tami McCoy of Hair Styles by Tami McCoy. Her store is on the other side of the sim.

Guess she must like cowboys :P

If you are a modern cowboy or cowgirl, check out Silver Dollar Saloon for a friendly bit of the West. Click on Search, select Places, and enter "silver dollar" as the keyword. The SLURL is Dixie (184,231,23).



The Daisy in the title refers to Daisy Duke, as in the Dukes of Hazard. Heehee, I can hear the groans now :P

OK, I havent seen the movie. But I saw one episode of the old TV show recently, so I have a good idea what Daisy's role is. We do the same things...keep our brothers out of trouble :)

This outfit is not from the TV show or movie. Just kinda inspired by it. All the photos of Jessica Simpson were in shorts and T-shirts. So I decided to make a mini-skirt and a lacy Country top. Its something I can see Daisy wear... Close enough :P



The belt does have a similar design to the one wore by Jessica Simpson in the movie. Thats because I could use a nice belt anyway :)



And this is the offical "Sittin on a bale o'hay" animation :P

Hey Nat! Being from the great state of Texas, I thought I'd share with you a very important word of the cowboy vocabulary. This word has several different meanings depending on the context for which it is used, and is very versatile and handy...

The word is pronounced "SHEE-UT". Here are a few definitions:

sheeut(v.) [SHEE-UT] - cow manure. "Ah just stepped in sheeut!"

sheeut(explative) - An expression used to exclaim pain or discomfort. "Sheeut! I just stepped in cow manure!"

sheeut (n) - a lie or falsehood. "Pardner, I think yer full of sheeut."

sheeut (n) - stuff. Items or belongings. "Ah think you should grab yer sheeut 'n go, pardner!"

sheeut (phrase) - to disagree. "Ya'll think ah ain't no cowboy? Sheeut!"

Anyway, there are much more uses for this word, but I'll stop here. Please do not confuse this word for the four-letter word used as profanity. It may sound similar but in cowboy culture, "sheeut" is not considered profane in any way.

your city-boy,
- Pyx

Hee-hee, leave it to Natalia to rob Daisy Duke of her Daisy Dukes by giving her a skirt instead of really short cut-offs :)

Anyway, the outfit is very cute :)

Dear Anonymous, heehee that would be scary to have blue poseball AV's!

I dont know what Blue Poseball has been up to lately...he hasnt been around much :P

Pyxel, lol that is the funniest comment I have ever read! :) Perhaps they should have a gesture made out of that very versitle word :P

Chloe, heehee I know...I felt a little bad... But who wants those shorts anyway :P

Dear Anonymous, thanks for the tip. That sounds like fun :) I will go check them out!

Trouble, it was :P The bull was just sitting there. I didnt know what it would do until I sat on it...then it went crazy! It was pretty scary, cause there were no instructions or anything! I still have no idea what I am suppose to do on it!
