Mutant Turkey Monster Prowls Montecito Bay

Thanksgiving has taken a strange and scary turn in the community of Montecito Bay. There have been sightings of a huge mutant beast resembling a four-legged turkey prowling the streets. While Montecito Bay has been the source of wild tales, this one has some pictures as evidence.

The beast shown in the pictures, and eyewitness descriptions, is a quadraped about twice the size of a normal human or anthro. Most of the creature is covered in turkey feathers, including a large plume of them in the back. Only the lower back legs, which resemble that of a feline, have any hairs. On the sides are two wings which are probably too small to small for it to really fly, probably. But it would be able to glide from someplace high to the ground. The head and neck are like those of a turkey, but much larger and stronger. The beak appears sharp and with the presumed size and strength of the creature is likely capable of tearing holes into someone or taking off limbs.

The creature has supposedly be sighted following people. And there are stories about a few people whom haven't been seen for a few days. Did they go ahead out of town for Thanksgiving, or did something else happen? Supposedly it followed someone into the city's Club 86, but left the people there alone. It is unknown what it would do if it encountered someone alone. But it has been seen consuming meat. Ironically enough, it seems to have a taste for turkey legs.

A number of Montecito Bay's streets have  dim to no lights. So residents in the city are advised to avoid traveling down these streets alone at night. And should you hear "gobble-gobble-gobble" sounds that don't seem right, RUN! You just might end up some mutant turkey's Thanksgiving dinner.

Furry Fashion Meets Rocky Horror

The horror. The funky horror. The Rocky Horror.

On Saturday night, October 22, the Furry Fashion Lounge held their Rocky Horror Picture Show event. This wasn't a showing of the cult movie noted for fans who make the movie into a social event, dressing up and acting out at certain scenes, but rather playing the music in the movie, in addition to a few others that seemed appropriate, and those attending encouraged to dress up in the spirit of the movie. While someone asked, "How does a G/PG club do a very un-PG movie for an event?" Everyone was assured as long as they kept their privates covered, they were fine.

And who was DJing? The wild and crazy ScratchMusikatt who dressed the part of Frank N. Frutter, complete with codpiece and fishnet stockings. When yours truly suggested Scratch couldn't live down any pictures published, he remarked, "Hehehe! I've played Frank in an LIVE presentation of RHPS my fine foxy friend. I have NO shame (grin)." One of the people there commented, "You are awesome! There's no shame to have."

The Furry Fashion Lounge has events every day of the week except Mondays, located at Furry (159, 200, 113).

Gallery 1 at Palais Orleans

You probably recall a few weeks ago I wrote about the reopening of the newly built Palais Orleans Gallery in Gardenia Islands  ( http://slnewserdesign.blogspot.com/2012/11/the-new-palais-orleans.html ). At the time Morgana Nagorski  put her works in all three galleries there temporarily. Now Gallery 1 has an exhibit I know you will want to visit. It is called "The Weirdo and I" and is thought provoking. 

 It displays the works of two artists, which will be the theme of Gallery 1 from now on, Maloe Vansant and Burk Bode. These are  exotic and introspective pieces. Read the poem on the wall, "The Weirdo and I," which will give you a clue to the pieces,  I think.

A question in the poem poses, “How much of my inner weirdo can I show to the outside?” Something to ponder. Some of the pieces will require a lot of thought .... in the eye of the beholder. 

The exhibit runs for about two weeks,  so make sure to put it on your list.  http://slurl.com/secondlife/Gardenia%20Islands/125/77/2501
