Last day of the year (Chinese yr of Snake)

Restless and on the prowl, after reading Honor's blog about Kowloon, I realized that it had been a long time since I'd visited myself. Obviously I was there at the wrong time, everyone was sleeping off the celebrations of yesterday.

Densely populated, the buildings are high, and crowded, There  doesn't appear to be any zoning by-laws, you have small restaurants, or retail outlets where you don't expect to find anything.  If you go too far into the warren to streets and lanes, you will be hard pressed to find your way out easily. I think it would be correct in saying that the area I was in was a true  labyrinth.

Time for a change, After a quick trip home to change, we headed for  the 1920 Berlin Project.  This is the beauty of life in SL. Lappen und Knochen the second hand store was open, its across from the Paul Christoph Restaurant zum Nussbaum, actually the Berliner Post Press is next door to the Second Hand shop.  What history buff doesn't want to read about more about the places they visit.

In the Second Hand shop we found this great pair of men's old underwear, with a good wash they should be a lot of fun to wear  for a girl's sleep over,
With the man undershirt it would go great with a grunge look and it was only  
31L.. the pants were 17L  

Unfortunately there are no vacancies at the moment, but it is possible to rent a room or take lodging here in the Project,  We are totally enthralled with the place.  It is so genteel.

Everything seems to be in walking distance, or you can take the tram, it has gone past several times now, so there would be no long wait for transportation. We found a bakery we couldn't resist, why not, its Chinese New Year after all.. A treat is in order.

KOWLOON,

Eartha explores Elemental Jewelry

Having been in SL for along time, when someone asks us where they can find such and such, we usually have a store that pops up.  In this case Eartha was on the hunt for a pendant and immediatly Elemental by designer Contessa lacombe, came to mind. ELEMENTAL JEWELRY, The store has taken on a much bigger presence since we were there last.  There is something in the store for every budget, no matter your taste, there are wonderful tasty treats all around the rooms, the walls are crammed with gems and precious metals

We try not to use vendor pictures, however, in this case, we wanted to show you the options she got with her purchase. A texture change set, she will get a lot of wear from this one purchase.

This is our lovely Eartha wearing her new purchases.  New skirt is from Q, top is from LL inventory,  Kayla shrug is from  Alyce, boots  are Shoenique

Hollie sweater dress with a nice pair of boots (Sierra), the boots come in black or chocolate, and the sweater dress has a hud that gives you multiple choices, 12 in all.  for 75L I would say that is a B A R G A I N.

The Tania top and Keri Capri is another nice combination @ 55 L this is a steal.  We have been around checking other locals, and by far this is one of the nicest and best priced combos out right now.  Top has 6 color choices

and the capri's 3 color changes.  NOTE TRY THE DEMOS, we found these items to be on the small size.

DC 72 presents Pink Cherry

Pink Cherry has gone with a traditional basic, a classic fish tail that uses simplicity to showcase your assets.  It allows you to be creative and artistic with your accessories.  Our model >Anna Shapes, Gisella< was thinking ahead to Valentines and thought to wear the red.  The red is a rich colour that leans towards a burgundy, so that it will enhance almost any skintone.  Our model is wearing makeup/skin by Tuty's, Sarah ivory skin, makeup 3 silver.

Wearing her hair [e] Interrupt, black, in a less formal style, and posing in the bedroom, it will send her "lover" a very warm invitation =^_*=   Notice she took her time to select a necklace from Elemental (cross your heart) that directs the viewers eyes to the decorative styling on the bodice of the Pink Cherry gown.

Getting your Pink Cherry gown now, will ensure you have plenty of time to plan out your seductive style.  taxi is in side bar.

1920 Berlin Project - part 2

On our second visit, we are exploring the street outside the train station, heading for the  MER (MittelEuropaisches Reisbeburo (appears to be a travel agent's office) to perhaps find some information on what i can expect.  A street car arrived and on impulse I jumped on,

I did get to see inside the MER office.  Everything is so true to the period.

Now to get my bearings.  Ah there is a bathing building, where free swimsuits are offered. the pool looks very inviting. At the corner  of  Mittelstr and Friedrichstr I see a Clarrington's Delikatessen, oh they serve ups some very tempting treats.. Down the street I see the Clarrington Bakery.  This could be a calorie laden visit.

I got lost, here I am in the police station waiting for someone to tell me where I am, and how to find a hotel for the night, I think I'll stay to explore some more.  I had no idea that the side streets were like a maze of smaller streets with homes and lodgings.  Maybe I can meet someone who will take me around,  This is exciting  .. till next time..

Visiting the Past

We've had fun doing retro.  The 50-60's is a lot of fun, now we are sending our model down to the 1920-s Berlin Project.  We've touched on the sim before, but really never spent that much time there.  With the cold winter, and the storms brewing what seems to be all over the North American continent, we are off to explore Berlin in the 20,30 and 40s.

It is important to note that this is a role play sim, and there is a dress code. To make it easier for you to explore the first time you arrive, there is a booth in the reception area, where participating designers have put out a couple of freebies. Before boarding the train, you must be dressed properly.  Everything is very clearly outlined for you.

Our model Chicas read the map to see if there is one place in particular she would like to start. She has already boarded the train, and has dismounted in Berlin.

This is the second dress offered by Mila Edelman of OTP (Old Time Prims) for a full selection of the merchandise carried by OTP, you can catch the taxi at the end of this blog.  Because we want to stay as authentic as possible, our model is going to go across the street to have her hair done @ the LOLA LOLA DAMEN UND HERREN FRISEUR

Where will we go from here, stay tuned.. Part 2 to follow in a few days

the colour Purple

In our wanderings we came across two outfits at Pure Class that were rather fun, this first one, is part of a gown, we liked the corset part, with Valentine's day coming, it has a lot of potential =^_^=
Found a great location for the pictures The Prohibition Club - 18+ , Imagine...1920-1933 PROHIBITION time in the USA,  illegal alhohol production and consumption in Speakeasies and Taxi Dance Halls, Al Capone where GIRLS are paid for dance (couple/pole/lap) and ROOMS TO RENT! Ideal for live music & DJ's

This is the purple mesh gown that is available, it was the Special Wednesday deal.  It a simple gown that can be dressed up with  your favourite necklace and earrings, bangles and rings. That was its greatest appeal, it is a wonderful backdrop for your fur and other accessories that we have and don't often get to wear.

It has been a devil of a time today, with SL, then camera whoas, but when there is a will, there is a way.. and Today, we wanted to bring these specials before they are gone. Pure Class Affordable Gowns Main Store
