Inside the SFL Magazine Holiday Party Today

SFL

The Master Plan-Of Home and Furniture Shopping-And Rich Old Men

Ok ladies, here's the plan, we'll get some "rich old dude" to shack up with the 3 of us girls together so we can live in this beautiful mansion.. Kathy said (Or, something like that)

I added, We'll lay in wait at the entrance and jump him when he comes shopping for a mansion, and he won't know what hit him when our 3 beautiful young avatars approach with our womanly wiles.

Then we will drug him when it's our turn to have "special time" with hims so he won't remember or know what didn't happen, and later tell him how great he was so we won't REALLY have to be with him that way. Emma suggested. (I think she said)

And so the plan progressed. Emma graciously offered to sacrifice the master bed and bedroom to myself, Kathy and the "rich old dude" and take one of the spare bedrooms, to which Kathy and I secretly bemoaned we didn't think of that first. Although Kathy and I were very pleased with the 2 spacious his and her's closets in the master bedroom but wondered where the "rich old dude" would put his things though. All three of us dreamed of laying around in the luxurious sun room (which Emma advised she thought rich people surely called it a conservatory, but then Kathy said that was only in Clue) with a good book and some tea in our spare time while "rich old dude" would surely be napping.

"Rich old dude" was not coming along to the mansion demo area fast enough so we began exploring our contact lists for possibilities. Cougar Kathy has a few very young prospects on the back burner and so I requested she ask one of them if they have a "rich old dude" grandfather they might contribute to our cause.

We really thought this was a good plan, I mean wouldn't any sane "rich old dude" be thrilled to have the 3 of us easy ladies, but I won't say free, as in the end this would be a very costly venture for any "rich old dude". This was all happening at the very cool Prefabulous homes demo area. Apparently all 3 of us ladies like to shop for homes, furnishings, clothes, well anything. And somehow we ended up at this high quality and impressive home store.

Meanwhile Emma had been macking on one of Eliza Wierwight's homes. All three of us LOVE Elia's furniture and decor and she is known for her amazing art in SL. We also checked out this place Emma eventually ended up buying as ironically it went on sale this week for a limited time.

We also checked out The Abiss beach house. I was the first one in the hot tub and we all enjoyed the many built in poses too such as in the closet : )

We visited Bellarose which also sells fine furnishing and homes. I found a house I might just make my next one.

Later I also checked out the wonderful store, The Loft,for furniture here: http://slurl.com/secondlife/The%20Loft/129/35/22 or direct link here: TheLoftHere.

Later in the evening Emma excitedly emailed me soon after we had all said goodnight because it was so late and she told me Eliza had just put her Christmas garland for sale.. we met each other over there again and snatched some up. Ironically we both had been complaining to each other how we so wanted Eliza's garland that she had all over her store but not for sale. Then wallah.. it went on sale for us.

Now you might ask yourself why three young ladies were out house and fine furniture shopping all evening instead of looking some more for Mr. Right of the mansion sort.. well.... I was on a mission to find some nice furniture for my latest adventure. It's still in the making and top secret but I will say it comes with a little winter wonderland area with tons of props and poses and fun things to play on. And I'll give a hint... it starts with "Art" and ends with "Gallery". Yup.. and it will have a little something for and from everyone I think. Soooo, I'll keep the blog posted. Meanwhile if there are any "rich old dudes" reading this... give me a call.

And about the "rich old dude" thing .. none of us are really that shallow, we were actually just joking about that .... sort of.

(And to think I blogged about trying hard to find nice homes and furniture in SL about a year ago, and now there are so many nice things--as a side note I am still in a LaGalleria home with some of their furnishing, which I love)

AlchemyImmortalis and Vitabelas -Two Great Very Different Wonderful Places

Visit AlchemyImmortalis here: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Alchemy%20Immortalis/156/135/82 or direct link here: AlchemyImmortalisHere.

Visit Vitabelas here: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Bonaire12/157/128/997 or direct link here: VitasHere.



Two very different but awesome sims combined in this photo I took today. I purchased this amazing outfit at Vitabelas which is a great store for women's clothes, dresses, fairy/mermaid outfits, hair, accessories AND to explore and play in a sort of fantasy sim that is beautifully decorated. Then I saw some gorgeous hanging ornaments I wanted to put out for decorations and lo and behold they are FREE at AlchemImmortalis a old world type sim that is also an exceptional explore with rainy mountains full of sheep and lots of beauty. There are stores full of old world magical things, cottages, furniture, jewelry, well a huge variety. If you head toward the back there is a little room with a Christmas tree and fireplace area with a bunch of presents set to free under the tree. The beautiful ornaments are in one of the boxes and the rest of the gifts are also very special.

Happy Anniversary Split Screen-New Exhibits Now Open through December 31st. 2011

Visit Here: secondlife.com/secondlife/Beleza/128/128/9 or direct link here: SplitScreenHere.
December 1st brought in the most recent Spilt Screen installation. Be sure to be on the latest LL viewer, Firestorm, or some other mesh enabled viewer to see as intended.
Split Screen

Last night I ran over to Split Screen to chat with Dividni Shostakovich, the curator/owner who gave me a sneek peek, and I fist stepped into Artistide Despres', "Let These Facts Be Known". I was like, "Divi, what is this, some kind of political statement or something?" I think he blandly said, "Something like, yes". He's really pretty patient with me. Well no doubt about it after I completely rezzed it on my newly installed "Firestorm Viewer". I heard shouts of a peaceful protest, police riots, all kids of protesting in fact. And the words around the picketer sculpt were clearly a statement about government. My photos can't do it justice, as the buildings around this are very cool as well and just need to be experienced. This is an awesome build that really should be visited and Divi blogged it saying, " The title is taken from the Declaration of the Occupation of New York City, which presents a list of 23 realities of political and economic life in the US and often paralleled elsewhere, ranging from the foreclosure crisis to bailouts to the commodification of privacy to torture and more." He provides a great description of both builds in Split Screen actually so check out his blog too: http://dividni.blogspot.com/2011/11/happy-anniversary-with-artistide.html or direct link here: DiviHere.

After I absorbed the impressive and somewhat inciting exhibit of Artee who has been building since 2007 at New Caerleon, I hopped over to the "Other Side" to see Eupalinos Ugajin's "grace au Soleil" which means what?, "From the Sun".. I guess. I dropped down the entrance hole into a huge surreal sort of playground.There is a lot to see and do in this immersive installation. Enable media for this build. The note card says in part.. 1. A "Table des Captures"
2. "A very expensive machine by which Humanity tries to export Life before it destroys the Planet"
3. I needed a door…
and just behind a
4. "Window wondering where to land"
5. Random images in camera's chamber. Are you the source or one element of the final image?
6. Zoetrope: what will the dancer inside empty or fill tonight? Or maybe those walls are the ones who invent her mouvements ?
7. Will you find the mattress of your dreams flying around with the help of this helmet ?
8. I was told it is on the way to find an "invisible island" but what happened to the passengers ?
9. You just sat on one cube and you are now a Landscape Architect for a few seconds. Are you precise enough to bomb the 1% claiming "This is MY GRASS" below you ?"... and more
In other words it's a playground, ride around, click, check things out and enjoy.
Also check out Eupa's "Some Day My Cow Will Come" at Twofish.

These two latest Split Screen exhibits will run through December 31st at which time other artists will begin building their exhibits. Contact Divi in-world if interested in exhibiting.

Congratulations to Divi and Split Screen for an impressive full first year of amazing exhibits by some of SL's finest artists!
