The Fish Sissies- 3 Pisces Women Who Met in Second Life 16 Years Ago!!
Today I share a special treat with my WordPress Family:)
A Memorial, a Celebration of a very special friendship:)
This is a tribute lovingly made by me to mark a 16 year milestone in the virtual friendship of 3 Pisces who met in Second Life in 2008. I am in Costa Rica, Diz in The Midwest USA and Suze in South Africa. We have Never met personally…but that doesn’t seem to matter. It is a testimony to virtual friendships in general and to Second Life in particular that brought us all together. Enjoy some old retro photos, my original music written on Garage Band, a poem I wrote for the occasion and The Original Fish Sissies reunited and dancing  today, together in 2024. If you’re wondering what those adorable little fishy backup singers are singing…it’s just “Bum Stosh Yahh… Bum Stosh aiy yah yah” and it’s very catchy. Thanks to Dale Innis once again for his great and varied AI Fish Art (Midjourney) Turn it up and have fun:) We did!!
Oh, and watch in 1080 HD please…just looks better:) Enjoy! (Likes & Comments on YouTube always very appreciated)

    Awww, what a great tribute to a wonderful virtual (but real!) friendship. Love this! Bum Stosh Yahh!

    (And although it’s light and fun, it’s really polished; can’t imagine how much work went into this…)

    Stunned, amazed and HONORED by this phenomenal tribute to our PISCES SISTERHOOD of 16 years!! Our kinship is a testament to the power of intertwined souls who have deeply bonded in the digital realm without regard to any boundaries in the truest form of friendship. I absolutely love how you and Dale combined every artistic form in visual, sound, motion THEN add your unique ‘gifts’ in producing this piece that feels very much like a mini documentary! Also… you’re spooky scary (in the good kind of way, lol) in your production prowess as it hasn’t been but a few hours since our reunion (omgggggg, I don’t even wanna know how you worked that kind of magic, laughs). Truly, this finale zoomed beyond my imagination and captured the sentiments of love and caring that we have shared for all these years in the fabric of our lives woven together so masterfully. Thank you Sissy Poo ((hugs)). Loves being a member of our Piscean tribe of fish sissies… FOREVER.

    • Awww Sissy Diz, you blew me right out of my underwater mermaid abode, with this amazing comment. Yes we know, after so many years in the virtual..how important it can be for forging real human connection. Nothing more real than us lol that’s for sure. I am over the moon with your comment, because it was my main focus in making this video…not to put it on YouTube but gift it to you both to just say thank you..for being so much in my life, such a really important part of my life…and to the date..older but wiser and we still LOVE to laugh:) Well as it turned out, it looked “good enough” for YouTube soo here we all are. Hugs you with sincere gratitude for your beautiful moving acceptance of this video proof, we have had a pretty amazing Second Life together:) Love you Sissy Always Fish Sissies FOREVER!! ❤🐠🐡🐟🥳

    There is nothing as strong as real sisterhood. I have been so blessed to have these two by my side through thick and thin. In sixteen years, we have been through a lot, kids growing up and going through their own trauma, death in the families, many tears, beloved pets passing on. But mostly, we shared so much laughter, love and blessings. I am eternally grateful to my two sisters. Kari and Dzin, I love you beyond anything. And sis Kari, you are a true magician, I am honoured to know you, never mind feature in your beautiful rendition of Pisces Sisters. I am in awe… WOWZA!

    Just love this Karima. Both Scott and I thought it was just fun and precious at the same time. I love the cool costumes in the beginning, just stunning. We both fell in love with the fish. Would love to have that long hair. You can not help but smile as soon as they come on, and when they have teeth, it is just so creative and just fun. We both loved that. It must have been so difficult to do such a perfectly unison dance number in three locations. What a broad sweep of locations as well. The music is so catchy, and the lyrics are just a fun celebration of three women who have found a mutually loving relationship with each other that has lasted in their second life for sixteen years. I am so glad that you three got together and did this. Dale also always delivers. It is amazing how you all pull these 2nd life shows off, I just can’t imagine. The mermaid costumes are stunning. Of course, what little girl and lots of women haven’t dreamt of or played being a mermaid? I know I did. You three will forever have this beautiful fun piece to treasure. Thank you, Karima, Dale, Diz, and Suze. What a happy note to end the evening. Hugs and love to you all.

        I bet if you would have ever got the three of you together it would have been crazy. Thank you sweetie I love you too. Yes I do have some wonderful friends from other countries and I am so blessed by each of them. Hope you had a wonderful swim in the sun. I had a headache this morning but I am going to listen to the recording you sent today. I actually have a post today and it is called Song Bird.
