SL Destinations: Historic Replicas by ASU

Welcome All!
Revan here :), The Wife and I were feeling a bit Rockabilly Retro today, So I searched for a sim to fit our mood.
I came across a true Gem., The Arkansas State University had 2 sims that fit our theme perfectly.

What a VAST destination! We got more than we expected. There are actually 6 sims Total owned by ASU., 2 campus, including an
orientaion area with Art Gallery, 3 historic recreations by Painter Meriman and 1 set aside as a Leisure sim with Beach.

The Regions have MANY points of interest, Too numerous to cover all in one post,

But We will highlight the spots we found enjoyable.

You may begin at ASU’s Virtual Campus Start point.
http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/ASU%20Virtual%20Campus/160/96/24

Here you will find unusual Art Exhibits and Interactive galleries.
Be sure to Transport to each area in the Art Building via the large banner flags in front.
We had a great time on the turtle ride touring a giant Aquarium!

 

Fascinating Historic Information with RL Pics can be seen at The Southern Tenant Farmer’s Museum which highlights the work
of John L. Handcox.
http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/ASU%20Virtual%20Heritage/136/61/25

John L. Handcox (1904-1992); was a Great Depression-era tenant farmer and union advocate from Arkansas renowned for his
politically charged songs and poetry.

This place is AMAZING!, They have even replicated Ernest Hemingway’s Studio.
http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/ASU%20Virtual%20Heritage/49/138/22

During the 1930s A barn was converted into a studio to give Hemingway privacy for writing.
Portions of one of his most famous novels, A Farewell to Arms, and several short stories were written in this studio.

Moving along, We came across Country Music Singer Johnny Cash’s boyhood home in Dyess Circle.
http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/ASU%20Dyess%20Colony/136/102/23

This is a recreation of The Cash family home in Dyess Arkansas as it was during the 1940s.

Check out the the rest of this town. There’s a Pop-shop, Cinema, & other colony display homes here, It’s like a step back
in time.

Something I found interesting was that The University actually owns Mr.Cash’s childhood home & The Dyess Circle Community;
Read about it here => http://arkansasheritagesites.astate.edu/AHS/Dyess.html

 Exploring a bit more we come across a piece of Antique Southern Beauty.

A scale model of The Lakeport Plantation House in Lake Village, Arkansas.
http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/ASU%20Virtual%20HeritageS/249/121/22

This palatial estate is One of Arkansas’ premiere historic structures.
Lakeport is the only remaining Arkansas plantation home set on the Mississippi River.
It was built in 1859 for Lycurgus and Lydia Taylor Johnson, Who were part of a political dynasty that extended from
Virginia to Kentucky to Arkansas.

Jump on the Horse & Carriage awaiting you for a tour around the estate with cotton fields.

Opposite of The Lakeport Mansion are tour boats and rafts.
The Raft will take you to the tragic sunken town of Napoleon.
http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/ASU%20Virtual%20HeritageS/132/137/24

Just stand up when destination reaches its point and walk off the pier to find this RL Historic replica underwater.
There are plenty of signs around to tell you the story of what happened and when.

If You take the row Boat, You will then tour a serene swamp, great for photos.

There is also a wooden shack complete with rocking chairs on the porch to hang out.

 
I hope you enjoy this fantastic region as we did, It is chocked full of food for thought.
I wish You a GREAT time until we read again!

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!

The Rove & Artistry

Hi There :-),

I was going through my swollen inventory sorting items and making it neater…

PFFFT YEH :p , I know I am not the only one who is always tackling folders and unopened objects lol

I get so far then I get sidetracked when I try something on and go ooooo.

Welp, I re-discovered  lovely trousers I bought from The Rove., & proceeded to assemble a look around them.

A shirt with a large bow, Bold, Expressive colors for my eyes and lips, & The Frills on the Bolero add a nice finishing touch.

Finding the final look that you are pleased with is like painting a picture, where colors, scale, and continuity of theme flow smoothly, Expressing your own individuality.

Each of us are artists when it comes to dressing.

Our ideals lay on the Painter’s Palette whether we are designers or buyers, And our Avatar- The Canvas.
