SL Destinations: Childhood

Hello & Welcome Explorers!
Read along as we visit “Childhood”, An Art installation from Cherry Manga & The Mysterious Wave Group.

This playful & interactive destination showcases several instances most of us shared when we were young.

Whether it was playing in the rain, Flying Kites,  Blowing Bubbles,

Pretending to be on a Boat made of Candy, Building Blocks, Patty-Cakes with our mates,

Hopscotch, Pinwheels, and a myriad of other childhood games.

Hubby and I stood in the sunset and discussed what was fun to us in our childhood.
And we mutually agreed, If life were to have it, we’d probably be best friends waaaay back as well.
I was such a TomBoy in my younger years I would’ve given him a run for his time LOLOL

 

Be sure to check out this spot, It’s very photogenic, and perfect for hanging out with your favorite group.
You can click the blocks & make them tumble, ride in the bubbles, play hopscotch in the sky, sit on a cloud couch, or ride the Merry-Go-Round.

 

Happy Exploring! & Thank You for Looking ❤

SL Destinations: The Arrival

Welcome Forward Good Souls!,
Today’s post is a destination sure to please at all times.
This sim in focus hosts various artists from time to time, so there is always something interesting there.
Our recent visit was especially nice because it showcased one of my favorite SL Artists.

The MIC- Imagin@rium sim strikes a balance between grand architecture and art.

It is an AMAZING place to take pictures or just enjoy the visual experience.
Set in glimmering shallow waters a large ruined Roman Amphitheatre with fallen pillars,

under ground caverns and light adorned trees make an ideal spot to wander around or just sit and collect your thoughts.

Stone steps and shallow sand dunes lead out to an Art Installation called “The Arrival ” by Artist Rose Borchovski.

A giant fish, with various statues and interactive podiums along its spine sits in stark contrast to the Amphitheatre.

Pure visual delight!

I hope that you visit soon & support The Arts in Second Life, Positive creativity deserves recognition.
Thanks for looking!

Terra d’OmbrA

Welcome,

Today’s post is about a discovery I made while on my exploring adventures.

I was visiting the SolAria sim when I saw there is a store on the far side of the landing point., I ventured over the scenic hills, past the marble fountains and through the colorful gardens to get a look at this gem up close.

What I saw when I entered the store were exquisite Italian designs, Sexy, classy and very detailed. I had a very good look around and saw the Hats on the 3rd floor are what you need to top off these designs!

The store’s owner Maizon Rayna was in and a delight to speak with. My Italian is rusty so we kept it Italish (broken Italian and English LOL)

She sent me the gift of the month., It was a lacy and sexy see thru cocktail dress. I just love a new dress, don’t we all?

I made 2 looks with it. 1 with a hat and new released hair from D!va, and the 2nd with a side corsage and pin-up dreds 🙂

The hat and hair corsage seen in my pictures came from Verve, back when they were called AtomicBambi. I stopped by to make sure they were still selling them. I didn’t see the Black Rose hat, but the Front/Side Rose corsage seen here on the top far right is still being sold. I’m sure if you contact the owner they probably have the hat tucked away in inventory for you. 🙂

Oh, I must return soon, They have added a few new items!, Yum, They have the cutest collections for your hair.

WHAT I AM WEARING:

HAIR::::::: “”D!va”” “Marie” (Type A)(Onyx)/ Bishwear- Kenza Dreds

Maja Peony by Earth & Sky

Hello, I’m glad you could stop by,

Today I am blogging about a pretty pink dress made by Earth & Sky. It comes with two dress styles, One is a lacey prim attachment, and the other as a sculpty shaped like a flower bulb. It has the appeal of naughty and nice to it.

The owner  Stefanie Seaton, sent out a notecard announcing she was releasing this dress as a freebie and needed help with reviews.

I thought it was adorable and here are my pictures I sent back to her. I’d wear this anytime, It fits my girlie romantic side perfectly 🙂

This is the friendly purse snatchin’ creator “Vic”.  lol If you see him tell him I sent cha, but keep an eye on your jewels!  😉

**”Join the Family!” You have two choices, either you can join the VENDETTA Mafia that runs this beach or you can choose to be “Vendetta Beach Citizen” working at one of the many facilities on the sim owned by members of the Mafia which pretty much means you still work for and answer to them in some way. From a strip club to lounge, Chinese food restaurant and movie theater, motel, casino and more! Our sim is new and roles, rules etc may change as needed as we grow to accommodate our players. Suggestions are always welcome.**
