CST Designs Show Saturday May 31st at 2pm SLT

Visit here: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Magical%20Rainbow%206/128/128/32


My friend CindyS Tatham makes some super nice clothes and is having a show this weekend.  I put on one of my fav dresses she makes called Lyneth, and my friend Kathy also has the same dress in another texture so we put them on and posed up in Cindy's store by her ads and took a photo for me to post here so you can see how pretty they are.

The information note on the CST DESIGNS show by AIM Productions states: "CindyS Tatham has been apart of Second Life since September 2007. She has been a successful photographer in her own right and is now taking on the SL fashion industry creating her own line of clothing called the CST DESIGNS collection. Her artistically created clothing are both fashionable and high quality. Every piece of clothing is carefully produced to perfection. Cindy’s attention to detail is evident in all her creations and you will feel like a fashion diva in them. Let your inner self shine wearing a CST DESIGNS original."


Come on over to her live show and bring your friends and/or watch the show live (http://www.livestream.com/aimagency) brought by AIM Productions.

Rico's Tea House, LTD Open House, Tempura Island 6th Anniversary Events, and The Bookmite Warehouse

Visit Rico's Tea House at Isle of Flux here: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Isle%20of%20Flux/128/128/2
I stopped by Rico's Tea House this morning for a little breakfast in the café and ran into HKM Bookmite, a friendly sort who introduced me to his "Bookmite Warehouse" where they have fun events.  We thoroughly enjoyed the very elegant ambiance, good food, and some nice conversation. 

The tea house structure is made by Kaya Angel (of Angel Manor and who also made the Lefevre Mansion) so you know it's of exquisite quality.  Rico's Tea House is owned by the Clarity Flux family, Rico Racer Flux and Editorial Clarity who now have the LTD (Love to Decorate) magazine I also enjoy.  LTD is having their open house on the sim so you can still visit there until 12pm SLT today.  You can find the magaine here: http://issuu.com/ltdmagazinesl/docs/ltd_magazine_may_june_2014

Edi is well known for his exceptional decorating skills and that also shows in the décor selections at the tea house and grounds. The sim is adjacent to the Isle of Clarity and the LTD Design Island.  The land info. states: "Rico's Tea House is a stylish hangout spot for those who are looking to relax, socialize, meet new people, chat with friends or simply do some work in stunning surroundings.  Tea, Coffee Shop, Cafe, Restaurant, Food, Dinner, Hangout"
I I roamed the area, enjoyed the formal yet relaxed indoor and various outdoor seating areas, and explored the scenic grounds.  This is a highly detailed great sim for hanging out with friends, taking photos, and enjoying relaxing nature areas. There is a bit of whimsy and a few ride toys if you care to take the kids along for a visit, or for the child in us all.  One can even hang out on their large beautiful docked sailboats or lay out by the pool and catch some rays.   It's on the SL destination guide as it deserves to be.  All in all a beautiful place to visit.

(Note: the last photo is of the LTD Open House on the adjacent sim)
*********************************************************************************
Then Polly Reina and Mike AKA: xxMikexx bebb the chameleon who are officers at Tempura dropped in for a chat and some drinks.  Tempura is one of my all time favorite sims and she mentioned they are actually having their 6th birthday celebration there later today and gave me some info., so since I do love that place very much I will also pass that info. on here in this post as well. 
**********************************************************************************
And now for the additional information I learned of while visiting:




Tempura Island is one of my all time favorite explores, so if you have never been there are you seriously missing out and need to run and check it out.  This sim is owned by kikunosuke.eel, visit here: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/tempura%20island/128/128/21
 

Polly passed me info. about Tempura's party today and I'll quote the note here:
"Dear Tempura Friends,

For this event we are running several events.

**********************************************************************************
HKM Bookmite told me of the Bookmite Warehouse he co-owns with his partner, heart Bookmite where they host events each Friday.  This Friday they feature music by Penny Layne starting at 5 PM SLT on Friday, May 30th. Use the Magic Mirror to teleport up to the Warehouse. I checked it out and found it to be a beautiful romantic spot with great music and dance atmosphere for couples and the trendy cool warehouse in the upper level.  Another great find!

SL Annual Goth Fair Through June 1

I guess I was on vacation during the major event, World Goth Day May 22nd, but the 3rd annual SL Goth Fair runs May 15th through June 1st, so it's still going on including a variety of events, and I am here checking it out now.  The event is produced by Cursed Events. This event has a nice summary so I'll just copy parts of it here:  
   "Hi and thanks for your interest in World Goth Fair 2014. This is our third year, and once again we're raising money for the Sophie Lancaster Foundation (http://sophielancasterfoundation.com) The Sophie Lancaster Foundation is a UK based charity that was founded in the wake of the brutal murder of Sophie Lancaster, a young woman who was killed for being a goth.
 The fair will run from May 15 at noon SLT through June 1.......  World Goth Day (May 22) events will occur at the Gothika Mobile Unit, and several other music related event are planned through the run of the fair.  All the info you need about the fair can be found on our website:  http://worldgothfair.com "



Goth Fair 2014 takes place on three sims- Cursed (adult), Sium (moderate) and Port Seraphine (general). Cursed and Sium are adjacent. Port Seraphine is not attached and requires a teleport to reach. Visit the Goth Fair here: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Cursed/128/128/22 http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Cursed/128/128/22 at Cursed 128, 128, 22 which is also attached to Sium and vist Seraphine here: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Port%20Seraphine/99/132/25

  All 3 areas are a good explore for the scenery and builds, shopping, and some nice freebies too. There are a variety of products so probably something for everyone. Get your goth on and we'll see you there!" Have a goth day!

I'm Baaaaccckkkk!

I had a fantastic RL vacation, and maybe I'll post a little about it some time soon, but here I am back in SL.  I wonder what I missed.  I'll be exploring the sims, events, music, shopping etc soon.  Missed ya!

                     SUMMER STROLL OUTFIT 100% ORIGINAL MESH OUTFIT



A friend of mine, Mr. Moose (mistahmoose), has a new store, "Shimmer" and he's making original fitted mesh clothes along with his partner, AnnariaB, who is doing textures, photo ads and more. This is a very talented pair who I look forward to seeing some great products from.  As you can see, I modeled this adorable summer outfit for them and was very honored to do so, as it's absolutely beautiful.  If you take the link at the top of this post you can see what they've added to market place to date and the second link is their inworld store.  They offer sandals and wedges with multi-color huds for slink feet, dresses, again with multi-texture huds, jewelry and hats all for a reasonable price, or shoes sold separately if desired.  I ran over to the store to have a look, and took a pic of me in the same dress so you can see the cute back.  The rest of the textures/colors in the hud are just as beautiful too! They have a cute group gift out at the store. 


The Flickr ad states, " Designed By Mistahmoose, Textures by AnnariaB (And the photo!), Modeled by Kara Trapdoor
Beautiful summer outfit, Comes with Hat, Necklace, Slink Flat foot shoes, and a fitted mesh dress with five textures And a HUD!  Has LOLA appliers!  Features Materials!
Excited to release it and share it here with you all!"

The Skywalk gallery was desirous of finding a primarily steampunk style artist to feature.  Many SL artists have dappled with creating an occasional steampunk image, but when unable to find one who focused on this, we began to consider how to gather some good steampunk art without taxing any one or two artists with having to make a whole series, when steampunk props and fashion can be relatively limited in SL.  It occurred to us that so many bloggers are taking great photos of other’s works to feature on their blogs and really are making works of art themselves in doing so.  For this steampunk exhibit we invited 10 SL bloggers to each submit up to 2 images.  The result has been very exciting.  Several of the selected bloggers are truly artists in their own right and perhaps blogging is secondary for them.  We are grateful to all the contributors.  We hope you enjoy the show.


The Skywalk Gallery has been host to some exceptional artists.  "Technochory" (Bryn Oh and Sina Souza) and "Shadows in Black and White" (Selected FCP artists) remain in the Skywalk to also enjoy.  Please explore it all along with the impressive sim.


The Station is a highly detailed steampunk styled sim with many sites to see on multiple levels, things to play on and with, two clubs, a full carnival with bumper cars, roller coaster, ferris wheel, carousel, multiple game rooms, many couples private areas, underwater show area, freebies around the sim, trains, trolleys, human slingshot, human cannon, airships, and gliders to ride and travel in, an impressive fun house, two large and two small theaters (the largest can be rented out for free for shows/events) and where movies can be watched, the art gallery, regular themed events at Miri’s club (Sun, Tues, and Thurs 6-8pm SLT) many hidden places to explore and find, some delightful inexpensive room rentals and stores, and so so much more.  Come join the steampunk revolution!
