Mad World, MadPea and a Great Video, The Drax Files: World Makers [Episode 47: Mad World]

Visit Mad World here: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/MadPea%20Base/128/128/32

Mad Pea continues to offer some great games, explores, fantastic builds, and prizes. Draxtor does a great job documenting some of this and interviewing Kiana Writer.  Both well worth further exploring.

I visited Mad World, and as the video says, there is a lot to see and do in Mad World.  I took a few pics as usual and won't say so much even though there is SO much I love, because the video explains some of it very well and you should really just visit and see for yourself! I will mention there are multiple escape rooms, rides, a kitty litter game and so so much more in this huge well designed area.

St. Martin, Kekeland Bardeco

 Visit St. Martin Kekeland Bardeco here: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Saint%20Martin/128/128/212

This sim seems to be owned by Belle des Champs (Bridget.genna) built by Dandy Warhlol (terry Fotherington)

The sim info. states:
"We tried to recreate a quiet, sunny and peaceful fishermen place, inspired from a Italian village.
You will find a little harbor in a colored village and hillsides of vines, campain and mountain.
[If you need to rez, you must join Kekeland group]. Thanks"

This is a great sim to explore and hang out in, just be sure to get all the way around as there are lots of cool places to see and potentially miss. You can enjoy Italian streets and buildings, a more run down trailer park area, the beach, and some ruins.  There are plenty of pose or play spots and lots of seating to hang out with friends. Overall this is a very beautiful place to visit.

Eclectica, A New Dawn

Visit Eclectica, A New Dawn, at Kymer a moderate rated sim here: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Kymor/128/128/29

This beautiful sim appears to be owned by Maddy (nibbyriddler). There are plenty of photogenic scenic and visiting or cuddle spots.  There are some unique pose and play places such as the giant air whale out over the ocean, the steampunk hand holding the falling teacup carousal, the awesome submarine home, various pagodas, the moon statue, the beautiful footbridge, and more. I last blogged this sim by this same owner back in 2015 but it was completely different then.  I loved it then and I love it now.  This is a very good explore sim, check it out.  More pics on Flickr if you click on one of the imagges.

Sunny Day by Cica Ghost

Visit Sunny Day here: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Nowhere%20City/128/128/28

I haven't been in SL as much lately because it's summer and I like to get out and about more RL when the weather is nice, but I can never pass up a chance to explore a new Cica Sim. It's been in the 100's  (F) outside, but inside I can enjoy some SL sunshine in the cool AC.  I"m probably behind everyone in seeing or blogging this latest,  do visit if you haven't already, but I tend to blog things I like to keepsake for myself too. This sim is true Cica, soft and whimsical pure pleasure with her signature cats, happy Sunny skies, more moving parts that her usual fare, but otherwise done up in her same style with a few things to sit/pose on and a touring car to ride around. There are a lot of cool little creatures around  The build is reminiscent of an aged wooden toyland in many ways with its flat cut out characters, faded colors, and planked ground covering.

Cica's sim description box reads: "It is the artist's business to create sunshine when the sun fails.
Romain Rolland"  Cica has created two suns for us which don't fail to please me.   Enjoy.  I took pictures as usual.

WITCHWOOD, Home to Petite Mort and Oubliette, at Desolate

Visit WITCHWOOD, Home to Petite Mort and Oubliette, at Desolate here: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Desolate/128/128/48

I always love it when good quality products not only sell on Marketplace but have stores inworold in great builds/sims.  This is the case here. The sim is a gorgeous setting to these two stores so you can visit to explore or shop.  Petite Mort has somewhat hippie/boho style clothes and products and Oubliette is magical and darker.  The sim has many nice photographic resting spots for friends or couples and scenic areas.  You can also find some of their products on Marketplace here: https://marketplace.secondlife.com/stores/157359 and there are Flickr groups for both stores.

Their sim looks like it's owned by Melora Frost (insilvermoonlight) with Petite Mort and Oubliette. The sim info. says: "Witchwood lies nestled on the outskirts of no where. Relax, take photos or shop at Petite Mort & Oubliette."

As a bonus the Titanic is located on the other side of their same sim and this is a great date night location for formal dancing, exploring and photography. If you haven't visited yet, it's a must see in SL.

Here are a few pics:

Liam Wahwah Wakeman

The music management group of Whispering Sands Live Promotions does a great job promoting many SL musicians, both those they manage and others, and I've blogged them and their musicians, events, specials, etc many times, but while I've also blogged their Sunday evening open mic nights before, I want to say a little more.  They really do a fantastic job of offering opportunities for new and up and coming musicians to try out their skills with a few songs at their open mic nights Sundays from 7-9pm SLT here: Whispering Sands Promotions AND Jagged Edge Music Venue, Sunset Cove (42, 204, 29)  Their mgt blog for info on musicians, booking, promotions is here: http://wslpromo.net/
P.S. their sim landscaping is beautiful too.

Tonight they had a great lineup of new singers and seasoned pros making for a great time.  Approx 45 visitors attended.  I decided to blog them again because this time they had a couple of singers I was not previously familiar with.  One was Liam Wahwah Wakeman.  His partner and manager Anashara Dubois told me he plans to start singing regularly in SL in a couple of weeks.  This will be a treat for us all if his performance tonight is any example of what he has to offer.  First of all he has a wonderful smooth beautiful voice but his guitar playing blew my mind. He also managed to perform 3 diff genre in his 3 song selections.  It was at this point in the evening I was chatting briefly with WSLP owner/mgr Jorr that SL truly has some impressive professional talent.  I snapped a couple of pics of Liam as I do believe he will become very popular in SL fast. And Yay, I sorta have a blog scoop on him here now.  Anyway .. you won't want to miss him.  Remember his name, Liam Wahwah Wakeman. I hope to hear a lot more of him soon.

Dark Hive Underground Club

Visit the Dark Hive underground club here: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Celaeno/179/218/3501

I found this cool industrial club and while they had a great event yesterday, sadly I missed it.  But I still wanted to blog the place as it has a awesome atmosphere.  I showed up very early this morning so few people were around but it made for a good opportunity to take some pics for the blog w/out distraction.  I used to blog clubs quite a bit when I found new or cool ones I liked and this is the first time I've visited The Dark Hive and it fits that category of cool clubs so wanted to document it here, for you the readers and for myself and future visits.
Their land info. reads:
"Dark Hive is a club for darker underground music styles like industrial, aggrotech, noise, EBM, techno, dark ambient, psytrance and more
                           [:We are Monochrome:]
/*Windlight Sky: "Alchemy Immortalis - Dark Misty Night"*/"

The club is owned by Razor (Radicalrazor) whose profile has this additional info.
"Owner of Dark Hive Underground Electronic club & lounge-
Follow me on mixcloud:
https://www.mixcloud.com/RadicalRazor
Visite us on:
http://www.darkhivesl.com"

Talu told me, : The club has been in SL "1 year, owner is Razor who built the club from scratch. Club have risen in popuarity fast due to nice design, friendly folk, no shops and low lag."

A bit later Razor popped in and I snagged one quite picture.
                                 
Check it out some time if you like this sort of music and place!

FFL PeKaS Gown, a photo by Kara 2 on Flickr.
I grabbed a few more items off the blogger boards at Fashion For Life and enjoyed taking pictures of this pretty deep blue with lace and floral white trim "Ritta" gown, posing in Chouchou.  The gown boasts a deep lace lined cut down the back leading to a bustle topped with large white flowers and a flowing train down the back.  The front of the bodice also has a floral lace lined dip and the glove tops match with small lacy trim v cut designs.
