Valentine Town and Mardi Gras Town, by Laura LIberty, Now Open

Visit Valentine Town here: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Townies/128/128/2

I started at Valentine Town with a ride through the tunnel of love.  Then I got sidetracked wanting to show it off to friends as it was a really cool ride. I took pics below so you can see it's fairly long, smooth and has a variety of sections that are all super well done.  I then entered into the main center of the town where there is a big scenic dancing area  and two sides of cool buildings filled with all things Valentines day from decorations, to props, to furniture, to clothes and costumes, to foods, to poses, to gifts, etc on sale for Valentines day.There are even two love lock walls where a person can purchase a lock and have it inscribed with their names or little message for that special someone that is locked on to one of two love lock trellis walls with a commemorative copy going to the couple who purchased it.   It's a great explore, fun ride and sim, and great seasonal shopping. Laura is known for her annual seasonal towns and you can join her subscribo or group for townies to stay on top of their openings.  I like to go early and then repeatedly go back taking friends.  This is a must see Valentine sim.

Next I entered Laura's Mardi Gras Town, also just opened for the season. Valentine and Mardi Gras Towns have direct TP boards to each other.  It also is loaded with fun seasonal products including decor, gifts, props, awesome masks, clothes and costumes etc. too.  I took more pics for you to see. It's a riot of colors.  There are freebie fun hoola hoops and dancing area.  It's just opened so I was able to see it without a lot of avs around however her towns get a ton of traffic typically, so go early, go often, and support her as she is great about providing these fun places year after year.  Enjoy!
 

And I even caught a pic of Laura.. shes a super sweet person and I remember years and years ago she came out and played with us in Easter town in the peep races and different things. She usually says hello and is very friendly. I always appreciate her fun free toys and that she makes great sims for us all to enjoy. One of the great people who make my SL go round.

Isle of View is Back for Valentines Day

Visit here: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Isle%20of%20View/128/128/39
Linden Lab's Valentine's Day region since February 14, 2008


Linden Lab's Valentine's Isle of View is back.  I went for a visit today and found it to be mostly the same as last year.  If you use the set windlight it's a tad overwhelmingly red so I switched back and forth between that and some other lightings and took some pics.  If you haven't been there before you will find nice swan boat rides, kissing booths, free Valentine Linden bears, some nice pose and relax seating, and a scenic place to visit.  There will be plenty more romantic places setting up for Valentines Day in SL, so grab someone special and enjoy.


The official info. for Isle of View states: "Looking for something romantic this Valentine's Day? The Isle of View brings together everything the discerning romantic looks for in romantic festivities: boat rides, fireworks, kissing booths, forested walks, tasteful fountains, and free gifts. So bring that special someone to the Isle of View and tell them how you really feel"
