The search for The Quiet Designer

Random 3000 Deluxe Poofer Mission Control by LindaTX - Click to Download

Publishers Note: All the items shown are available for free from LindaTX. Click the pics to find and download her amazing creations.
I began this article on LindaTX as a simple critique of one of my favorite Designers in Moove. Anyone who has been around more than a week, is probably using one of LindaTX's amazing creations.
I use her BBQ grill daily when I am in my Lake House and I simply love my custom LindaTX Barn on my Roaring Fork Ranch and I have had her Asian Kimonos in my fav outfit closet since Mela and I came back from our trip to Hong Kong - so I am sure you are probably using and enjoying something that has crept out of her amazing brain.
LindaTX is a lot like Legalos in that her creations are an important part of our daily lives in Moove. Even more impressive is that she does not charge for her fashions, tools, gadgets or furniture. She is one of those Designers that simply enjoys designing and brightening peoples lives. BUT...trying to track her down for an interview is harder than NOOB at the Big Cat Club (if ya know what I mean...wink wink).
So I set out on a journey to find her. This time alone, with no Angel Kiss band members or even my trusted partner Mela who was in Paris meeting with our financial backers. I really do not like to travel alone, but LindaTX was worth it. I poofed into Real using the RANDOM-3000 Deluxe Poofer and found myself in a dark damp wet forest.

I usually really love jungles
The wierd thing about the Random 3000 is you just never know where you will arrive and this time was no different. I had been in the jungle before (in Brazil) but this was more humid and I could hear waves in the distance. I decided to head towards what I hoped would be a beach.
I began hiking and felt like someone was following me. You know that wierd feeling you get sometimes when you are sure you are going to get kidnapped and taken to a far off scary country and be sold? I began humming and pretended it did not bother me...until.....out from the bushes jumped the biggest, hungriest LION I have ever seen.
I jumped up and grabbed a vine hanging from a tree and pulled myself up so I would not get eaten. The lion just looked at me in a curious way, and turned to a rustling noise in the bushes. He began to growl as a momma wolf and her baby came out from the bush. OHHH GREAT...now I get to be eaten by two species.

I climbed as high as I could into the tree until I lost a clear view of the wild beasts. I heard growling and yelping and barking so I knew they were probably fighting over who got to eat what piece of me. I reached the very top of the tree and saw a clearing with some lights shining about two miles away - but no beach as I had hoped. I decided to spend the night in the tree just to be safe. I did not sleep very well, but it was better than ending up in a wild beasts tummy.
I awoke before dawn and slowly climbed down the tree. I did not see any wild beasts, but the blood and fur on the ground let me know that a major fight happened. I ran as fast as I could through the dark jungle in the direction of the clearing I had seen from high atop my perch.
I arrived at the clearing as the sun was rising. It was some sort of industrial storage place. I did not see any house, only a large building that looked like a hangar with a small shed attached. I could tell it was not abandoned by the new helicopter and the fact that a large compressor was running making a hissing and grumbling noise. I knocked on the bigger hangar building, but no one answered. I pulled the door open (which was not easy) and saw an old biplane sitting inside.
I wondered if it still worked since I really did not want to walk anymore and I had no idea how to drive a helicopter. I spent two hours tugging and pulling the biplane out of the hangar and then filled it with fuel from the big tank next to the railroad tracks. I checked to make sure the tire blocks were in place and spent another hour trying to twist the propellor to get it running.

I was about to give up when all of a sudden it sputtered. I ran around to the cockpit, stopping to remove the tire blocks, jumped in and pulled some knobs until the propellor began to really spin. A huge puff of black smoke shot up into the sky and I began to move. I steered the old biplane towards a stretch of dirt road and pushed the throttle all the way down. VROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM. I left the ground. WOO HOO.
I circled the clearing two times as I tried to get my bearings to decide which direction to go and finally decided to head West. I had no idea where I could find LindaTx, but I figured one direction was as good as any other. I climbed to about 18,000 feet enjoying blue skies filled with fluffy white clouds. I smiled.

I began to wish I had brought a jacket since I was getting chilled. I decided to lower myself to a lower altitude to see if I could warm up any. BAD IDEA! As I came out of a cloud, I saw a mountain peak right in front of me. I tried to pull up and even thought of jumping out but then realized I had not even checked for a parachute before "borrowing" this antique and using my wings was out of the question at the speed I was going (they would have ripped right out of my back)
I used every teenie bit of strength I could muster to pull back on the flaps as the mountain peak zoomed closer. I was climbing little by little, but I knew I was not going to miss and I tried to prepare myself for a serious crash. I had crashed in a plane before (Angel One went down in Mongolia) and I can tell ya..it just plain sucks.


I really am not fond of plane crashes, but the sunrise was gorgeous.
I clipped the left wing on a huge rock and saw pieces of the wing break away as I struggled to maintain control. It was useless. I was going down for sure. I did the best I could to level the biplane out and steer it towards a flat piece of ground. That is when I saw it. The ocean. It was far off, but the blue shimmer told me I had indeed headed in the right direction - but there was no way, this crippled plane was going to make it. I approached the ground at the spot I thought looked best to land. I touched down almost perfectly and pulled the throttle back to slow down. It did not work. A wire or something must have snapped, so I figured I would just roll along the ground until it slowed down enough for me to try jump out. That is when I noticed a new bit of danger.
The flat ground I was rolling along on was actually a mesa (a flat top mountain) and I was coming to the edge of it. I could not tell if it was a massive drop off, or a small cliff. I was hoping for the small one. I decided to try to jump out right before the edge of the cliff. I was not about to pull a Thelma and Louise. I stood up and got ready jump as the edge of oblivion got closer. 3-2-1 JUMP!
I started to leave the plane and fell forward and hit the edge of the fuselage very hard. My leg was caught - actually it was my C@ndi Sinz boot strap which had become snagged on some kinda lever thingy. Talk about Deja Vu. As with the Mongolion crash, C@ndi's boots played a part.
WHOOOOOSH. I felt the plane go over the edge and looked down. I could not really tell how far the bottom was, but I quickly found out. The plane bumped off a large rock and landed on a steep slope of gravel and loose rocks. It was sliding pretty fast while I tried to get my boot strap loose. I finally struggled loose and jumped, hitting the gravel and loose rocks pretty hard while the plane slid over another small cliff and crashed to the ground.

I kinda liked that old plane...darn
I finally stopped sliding and got up. Nothing was broken, but I was really going to need a spa treatment and some serious skin care when I got back to Moove. I limped down to the plane which had come to rest in a small crevice. It was pretty much destroyed. "What is it with me and planes", I thought to myself and felt a little guilty that I did not leave a note for the biplane owners telling them who I was. The plane was totaled and I started walking out of the crevice when I saw a small opening in the wall.
I peeked inside the opening which was just big enough for me to squeeze through and saw a courtyard of sorts. The angle of the rocks only allowed me to see an old ship sitting on the ground. "Hmmm, I must be getting closer to the ocean or this Captain was stoned when he sailed here", I softly said to myself. I squiggled through the opening into the courtyard.
Getting up off my knees and brushing my hands off I looked around. I was filled with a sense of fear at what I saw. This place...whereever it was...was not a place I wanted to be. I turned around to find the small opening to leave, but it was gone. I backed up against the rocks and looked around carefully and slowly.

As was the case with the industral clearing where I had found the biplane, this place was empty of any life. Death seemed to be the dweller here. Besides the rotting ship, I found a guillotin (- recently used) and a bloody pendulum that had taken its revenge on some poor soul. In the center of the courtyard was a hangmans platform and noose. This was a place of evil and I knew it was no place for an Angel. I ran to the far side of the courtyard and into some trees where I stopped to catch my breath. I felt a teenie bit sick.
I really just wanted to sit down and take a break, but something inside me told me that I should get away from this place as fast as I could. I turned towards the last direction I saw the ocean and began to quickly move through the the tall grass.
When I felt I was a safe distance from the bloody tools of death, I stopped and sat on a moss covered rock near a stream to rest. I decided to wash myself, wings and my soiled clothes in the stream. Even on strange journeys, ladies always practice good hygiene.
I had just laid my clothes and wings on a branch of a small tree to dry when I heard the sound of breaking waves and I thought I smelled something cooking. I got up and headed towards the sounds and smells. I was just going to investigate and would come back for my dry clothes after I knew where I was. I walked just a short distance and over a grass covered sand dune I found the ocean. Blue and HUGE - but not a soul in sight - just a light house. I returned to get my clothes which were......

GONE!
Now what kind of perv would steal an Angels clothes and wings? Ohhhh...yeah, that's right. LMBO
I hollered a few times but no one hollered back so I decided to go back to the beach and hope that whoever lived in the light house was my size and fashionable. I reached the soft sands and although I missed my C@ndi boots (which were also taken with my clothes and wings), the warmth felt good on my feet.
As I got closer to the lighthouse, I saw two boats anchored just off the beach and a smoking grill - but no people. "This is getting pretty wierd", I thought to myself as I walked naked to the light house. As I approached the door, I saw a piece of paper tacked on the knocker fluttering in the breeze. "Tory, sorry I missed you. The key is under the door mat and there is some fish grilling for you. See you soon, Linda TX".
I found the key and went inside. I checked for anything I could wear as clothing, but found nothing but a rotting burlap bag that had mouse poop on it. No thank you very much. I'm modest, but I am not an idiot...no really.
I went back outside and checked the grill. The fish had been charred, so I figure LindaTX must have left quite a while ago. "At least she could have told me where to find her", I grumbled to myself. I headed to the water to swim to the boats. I am sure there is something on one of those boats I can find to cover my treasures. I swam out about 50 yards and felt something brush by my leg in the water.
I held my nose and dove down. The water was clear without any salt so I could open my eyes. I saw a huge blue whale and small fishes, and swimming away from me was a shark. I double checked my bruises from the plane crash to make sure I was not bleeding. No need to offer a Tory Sampler Platter to the shark. I could hold my breath no longer and resurfaced. I swam the short distance to the first boat.

I climbed up the ladder and was greeted by a pair of size 12 mens boots...above the boots was a pair of blue jeans...above the blue jeans was a white cotton shirt...above the shirt was a cocoa skinned neck...and above the neck was a handsome face with a curious smile. The man reached out his hand and helped me aboard - stopping only briefly to gawk at my naked body.
"Da yous mermaid" he asked as he checked out my butt to see if i had a fish tail there. "English"? I asked. "Dis ways", he said as he took my hand and we walked into the cabin of the boat. "Mees watches fors obbities and looks so maybeez meez no picks fo freez. Yous be skinish - no flutterz to hide delightfulz. Hearz for yous". The handsome man pointed to my neatly folded clothes, wings and boots. "Oh thank you", I said gratefully as I wiggled into my skirt. "Deep pleasurez I seez when yous not have flutterz, butz meez seaz too deeps inner".
I had no idea what he was saying, but his voice was soft and kind. "Do you know LindaTX", I asked him. "Sa, obbity rendez forshakez", he answered and took my hand. He patted the rail of the small boat and smiled. "DiJ, go forz citiez for pas jenius", he said as he turned towards the wheel house and started the engine. We chugged away from the beach and out to open sea. I laid down after about an hour and fell fast asleep.

My new friend awoke me as we entered a harbor at dusk. "Yous now goez forz manz at shopz near happy thoughtz", he instructed me. "I do not understand", I answered as he slowed the boat alongside the dock. "Toolz, forz prettiez forz strongmanz - yous searchez forz only some - yous not findz all". He helped me off the boat and smiled again as he waved goodbye. "What a strange and kind fellow", I softly said to myself and turned around to walk the short distance to the town.
The town was called Esnip Bay, but I could not tell what country I was in or even what continent I was on.Things looked fairly modern and I saw some signs in English, some in German, and some in the strange language my Captain friend had spoken. I saw a few people, but not many. It was a very quiet town.
I walked a few blocks until I came to a flashing sign alerting passerbys that a junk store was inside the old brick building. I am a professional shopper so I know that when a sign says "junk" it usually means that treasures and antiques can be found among the true junk. I opened the door, ringing the bell hanging above and walked in..........
