Past and Present
When Don and I met for the first time, many years ago, we both looked different…although not so much as I thought. After Don had his picture taken by Trinetty Skytower, picturing him with both a young and mature face (THIS is the most awesome portrait I have ever seen!), we got inspired to make…
The Pines at Jacobs Pond
Sometimes it is just nice to spend some time on a sim that has no ‘action’ as it were, but just…virtual peace, quiet and nature. I often look for places like that, simply to look around, frame a nice view and stare a bit at my screen while having deep and meaningful thoughts. Well, or…
Red Shoes at MIC
“Red Shoes” is an impressive art exhibition on MIC – Imagin@rium, featuring……red shoes and is made possible in collaboration with Il Murgutta Art Gallery. As the information notecard says : ‘Elaborating on the idea of the Mexican artist Elina Chauvet, who in 2009 exhibited his first installation “Zapatos Rojos” in Ciudad Juárez, which later became…
Ice, Ice Baby
Well yes, I woke up with Vanilla Ice’s old song in my head. Don’t ask….and please don’t judge… To distract myself a bit from ‘stop, collaborate and listen!’ all the time, I went out for some shopping inworld and ended up at the Main Event Winter. A quite nice concept, creators sell outfits but only…
Berry’s Winter tyres..err…Meme!
This morning, while I heard the neighbours scraping the ice from their car windows and I made a nice hot coffee for myself, I checked Strawberry’s Monday Meme and yay: it is about winter! You can find her questions and answers here, and do not forget to check out the comments in which you will…
It’s cold in Samurai Village
Another re-visit, to a sim I really enjoyed while in Halloween/Autumn setting and which has now turned snow white and cold for the holiday season: Samurai Village – the private home of Ginger Krokus, is still open to all to enjoy! Ginger created a lovely winter in her City and it is surely photogenic, I…
The Machine
This afternoon I managed to get completely lost….yeah, I am just terrible when it comes to mazes and staircases, but eventually I made it! I visited ‘The Machine’, an art installation by Lilia Artis and Moeuhane Sandalwood on LEA. It is interactive, and I am not going to give away the clues – except that…
Open House: Autumn Dreams Cottage
Oh yay! Another Open House! This time Editorial Clarity and Ricoracer Flux once again open their private getaway to the public for a few days, so if you want to go see their Autumn Dreams Cottage you may need to hurry: it will be open till Sunday 1 December! I have been to their previous…
The Trace – Winter edition
So. There. And YAY! This evening I got the IM I was secretly hoping for, for a couple of days already….Kylie Jaxxon telling me she finished transforming The Trace into winter! I literally dropped everything and hopped over, and did not get disappointed! I have been ‘awed’ by The Trace in Spring, Summer and Autumn…
Otium – Leisure and Laziness
When browsing through the Destination Guide my mouse stopped working at the ‘Popular Places’ section, instead of the Photogenic category I was looking for, but..it turned out just great otherwise I would have missed ‘Otium – Leisure and Laziness’! Otium is, according the landinformation, Latin for leisure and laziness and that is what this gorgeous…
Yuki No Yume – A Dream of Snow (closed)
Edit february 2014, this sim is now closed. This morning I was delighted to find out Jac Mornington opened his newest sim, Yuki No Yume – A Dream of Snow, to the public. A wonderful Japanese winter, a joy to walk around and explore! There are secluded spots, panoramic views, some wildlife and snow is…
Dawn of Radiance
‘The dawn has come And the wine will run And the song must be sung And the flowers are melting In the sun’ This is quoted from the land information of Dawn of Radiance, and of course they had me at ‘wine’ ! But without joking, Dawn of Radiance is a lovely sim, currently covered…
Invisible People – by Rebeca Bashly
The brandnew art installation by Rebeca Bashly, called Invisible People, has been featured on many blogs and in Flickr already and that is not without reason! I always enjoy Rebeca’s work very much and could not wait to tp to ‘La Citta Perduta’ in which this work is displayed. Invisible People is a story, presented…
The Basilique Performing Arts Company prepares a new production for 2014
The Basilique Performing Arts Company prepares a new production for 2014. November 12, 2013 – After months of deliberation and several serious considerations the Basilique Performing Arts Company (BPAC) has chosen a libretto for the dance-theatre production that will follow Romeo + Juliet in March 2014. Not yet specifying the source text or music, Beck and Crabsticks…
RiTai Dreamland
RiTai Dreamland is one of those places I will have to re-visit over and over again, because there are so many hidden treasures and spots to explore! It may seem as ‘just another’ tropical island, and yes….there is sand, sea and palmtrees but…it is also the home of Bryn Oh’s shop of Curiosities and Oddities!…
