One of SL's main singing sweethearts has some RL medical issues and her friends in SL are organizing a SL benefit for Toxie. I've blogged about Toxie before so you may have heard me go on about how she's one of my fav SL musicians and I actually purposefully try to follow her shows around, which says a lot for me. Anyway.. there is going to be some great music, special items for auction and other activities associated with the benefit drive Saturday May 12th and Sunday May 13th. This ad poster was made by Caz, Scarlett Cazenove.
And if you want to hear some Toxie check out her schedule at Whispering Sands Live Promotions here: http://wslpromo.net/
One of my all time fav SL singers, Toxie, Toxic Darkmatter has opened her own venue, The Arpeggio, at Forty Thieves Hideaway. Toxie is well known not only for her beautiful voice, but also for her design and decorating skills; She's designed sims for other venues previously but now she's opened up her own new space for live music events and her opening night tonight was a huge success with Erik Kottzen singing at 9 SLT followed by Gibson at 10. The venue is a beautiful ruins filled area with all the romantic lighting, plenty of cool pose spots, the super cool stage area with huge skull backdrop in the ruins of a theater setting, lots of well designed nature areas fun for hanging out, music shows, exploring and photography. I'm glad I hit this special opening night that was a huge success with a large crowd of lots of fun people. I look forward to future shows here. There is already a Flickr group for people to post their fav pics of the area or music event. You can post the pics here: https://www.flickr.com/groups/toxies-arpeggio/
Thanks Toxie for your contributions to SL and our fun times!
I've been noticing many live music and entertainment sims have really been decorating their whole sims up beautifully for the holiday and winter season. I always respect sim and venue owners who spend a great deal of money and effort simply to share and enhance SL for others. It's common knowledge most venue owners, especially live music venues, don't come close to breaking even on their expenses once tier and the entertainment is paid. They do it for the love of SL. And I'm thankful.
Since I love to explore SL, see all the amazing SL sims and also enjoy SL live music, I wanted to take this chance to highlight one such sim. The Only Venue, a live music venue hosted by Jake Puhpow and Molly Masingh, that regularly hosts live musicians has engaged one of SL's finest singers, hosted by Jake Puhpow and Molly Masingh. Toxie/ Toxic Darkmatter, known on Facebook as Kristin Craig, to decorate the rest of their sim area for visitors to enjoy. She did a fantastic job and I had a ton of fun exploring there. My pictures don't do it justice but you can get a little bit of an idea what some of it looks like. It works great with various windlight settings too. The venue itself is spacious and well done but I'm highlighting just the outdoor explore area here today. So if you are looking for great SL live music as well as a beautiful sim to explore before or after a show, I highly recommend this one. Toxie's Facebook page is here: https://www.facebook.com/kristin.craig1
I took a few pics there then, since I was in my new fur, invited my friend Kathy Nikolaids over in her new fur since she is a fashion blogger to enjoy and take some pics too. Then we went to another of her favorite sims where she can rez poses and she took a picture for her blog post with all the styling information, so be sure to check out her blog post if you like any of our styling for the details here:https://slnikknacks.wordpress.com/
Their promo reads: "Ok secret santa helpers.. Who has been naughty and who has been nice? The holiday season is opon us and you know what that means? It's time to throw down Inner Room style for some naughty Christmas fun.. get out that red lingerie, those snowflake pasties, or just come in a santa hat.. We have some amazing entertainment for you this weekend...
9PM - Collin Martin has carefully crafted his sound and style. His genre includes Coldplay, Counting Crows, Eric Clapton, the Avett Brothers, a little bit of country, and alot of classics from the 70's. Many have commented on his vocal clarity and range, and his set list will attempt to showcase that clarity and range.
10PM - Toxic Darkmatter - What started as a bit of a joke with her performer friends, turned into a new outlet for her "musical therapy." With a collection of music that's a blend of classic to contemporary, sweet to naughty, Toxie has a rich, sultry voice that can shift gears and really soar. Enjoy jazz? Blues? Rock? A little pop maybe? Check out her song list and bring your requests, be ready to sing along, and let Toxie show you just how much she loves the music she shares.

I'm finally getting this little sample bit of a video up here. Toxic Darkmatter is one of my fav SL singers. She not only sings with that smooth sexy voice, but she is a great entertainer too. She sings a variety of genre from current dance hits, to 70s and 80s tunes to several parodies, some a capella, and some originals.
She is managed by Whispering Sands Live Promotions who btw just put my blog on their news feed banner. If you check out their web site you can see Toxi's schedule, bio, etc as well as info. on all their other musicians, how to book them, rates, and use their social interaction login too. They are super organized and book something like 85 shows a week. Check that out here: http://wslpromo.net/
I've taken a few pics at some of her shows because she and her attendees always seem to get into some extra fun. She has her stakers with big bushes, the hot Toxie for the Hot Child in the City, pole dancers at the VooDoo Lounge, and more crazy stuff all the time.
Here's what some have to say about her, "What started as a bit of a joke with her performer friends, turned into a new outlet for her "musical therapy." With a collection of music that's a blend of classic to contemporary, sweet to naughty, Toxie has a rich, sultry voice that can shift gears and really soar. Enjoy jazz? Blues? Rock?

Toxie is managed by Jorrdan Jarman if you want more info. Be sure to check her out around the grid. She does multiple shows a week. I guess I've recently joined her stalkers group because I seem to be hitting all her shows. Check it out!
