Back Online at Long Last!

Well, after lightening bolts caused a power outage that killed my websites last Sunday, I am happy to report that today - an entire week later - I am finally back online again! Hurrah!



(...yes, I know - but I just had to break out the vintage dancing bananas for this one...)

Now it's time to finally finish various website updates I started working on back in June, begin showing The LaLaVox Doodle Diary some love again at last - and maybe even finally manage to influence the movements of the Universe enough so that my MildredLovesYou.com domain is finally (FINALLY!!!) back in working order as well. Wish me luck!

Cheers, LaLaVox

Lightening Bolts Killed My Websites!

My LaLaVoxBox and MildredLovesYou websites are hosted on a server system run by Amazon in Ireland. There was a major power outage on Sunday apparently caused by lightening. Since I am not well versed in server-speak I don't know exactly what's going on at this point, but what I do know is that my website has been offline since Sunday!

http://status.aws.amazon.com/

I don't suppose it matters too much, since I don't run high-powered, financially important sites - and also since I've sort of been on a mental vacation away from my websites and Doodle Diary since our big MildredLovesYou anniversary/birthday bash back in mid-June - but I still find it quite distressing!

I'll post again once service has returned.

Cheers, LaLaVox

MildredLovesYou.com is Turning Three!

On June 16th, 2008, I posted the first of our Mildred Loves Pin-Ups (originally The Monday Pin-Up) series. I consider that to have been the birth of MildredLovesYou.com; with the site-under-construction months online before that being the pregnancy of course. ;)

So (as I mentioned here this past Wednesday), on June 16th, 2011 MildredLovesYou.com will be turning three! - although we have in the meantime decided to call it an anniversary rather than a birthday... ;) And we will be starting the party on the eve of this occasion by throwing a wild burlesque bash at Pinky's Peepshow here at the Bassy in Berlin on Wednesday the 15th!

Here are the flyers once again:





And here are some photos and links that will give you a closer look at our illustrious line-up of performers!

I am desperately hoping that this can be straightened out at last very, very soon - especially with our 3rd Anniversary just right around the corner!!!

FaceBook Prudery + An Upcoming 3rd Anniversary Party

Yesterday morning, when I went to view the current goings-on at FaceBook via our Mildred Mahler profile there, I was greeted with this bit of unpleasantness:



I see... Well... Candy-Box Rosie is actually wearing pasties and panties in this pin-up (yes, they are in pink, I know - but still), so I don't think it strictly literally violates any FaceBook prudery policies.

But I'm not the rebellious sort who enjoys going out of my way to prove a point. And I have neither the stomach nor the time for further aggravations or any ridiculous battles at the moment. So I have simply removed this image from my "Pin-Ups and Other Goodies" album at Face Book and locked that album down so that it is no longer completely publicly viewable.

Fine for me, really. It means that there will be a surprise or two for anyone who actually takes the extra effort to look at these pin-ups at our website rather than at Mildred's FaceBook profile. ...And - by the way - who out there was enough of an uptight busy-body to complain in the first place?!?...

While we're on the subject of Social Network Prudery, I might as well mention that a couple of years ago, when I was in the process of uploading our pin-ups to Mildred's now woefully neglected MySpace page, the police-bots there refused the above pin-up, and this one:



The other pin-ups were accepted without a fuss. I guess Candy-Box Rosie and Coco Delish are just too openly voluptuous in these two pin-ups. ;)

And now on to more pleasant news...

Our apparently shocking MildredLovesYou.com website will be celebrating its 3-Year Anniversary on June 16th. To kick this event off in style, we will be throwing a wild bash in conjunction with Pinky's Peepshow here in Berlin on June 15th (which is a Wednesday). Here are the flyers for said event:





I will be posting about this again soon, with links to the various artists' pages and such. And I hope I will be forgiven for adding a little reminder about this as a p.s. at the end of every single other blog-entry I post between now and then too. :P ;)
