Sweet Magnolia

Did you get to visit the Sweet Magnolia RFL build?  If you know the clug Sweet Magnolia's... you will not be surprised to find that it is a gentle mix of old and charm.

To say that we were enchanted with the build would be about right, it was a delight to explore.  The music was super fantastic, suspect that DJ Sky had something to do with the sounds and the landscaping.  The owner of Sweet Magnolia's butterflyrose know affectionately to her friends as Mary was the creative lead in this build.

A patron of the arts, Mary not only operates the outdoor venue at Sweet Magnolia's, she is the owner of The Magnolia Center for the Arts. She is always interested in hearing from Visual or Musical artists who want to perform or display in her welcoming environment.  Send a note ard to MaryRosella Resident if you are interested, pass this along to your friends.

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.

Shoenique's new release

This lovely little number is a new release at Official Shoenique Designs /Unique Gowns  you'll find it in the back corner of the reception area. It is meant for Valentines, but I got it for an event I'm going to celebrating the Chinese New Year. (horse) What I love about it is the colour of the red.  It is so rich and classic, that it will be good for any special event where I want to stand out. =^_^=  The dress (Rhema) is MESH and comes packaged with 5 sizes, a heart pendant (not worm in the pictures) and red heels that are also not shown in this picture.  You'll have to take the limo and check it out for yourself.
Currently because it is a new release it is on sale for 99L

If you are a group member, you will just love the long gown that you can obtain for a mere 1L  I love that the shoulder has fallen off the shoulder giving the wearer a very sexy look indeed.The taxi is in side bar, or the link is in the first paragraph of this blog. Use it!

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..

What is nice about the dress is that the designer allowed for a fuller body and has given us the XL size.  Not all designers do this.  The dress also comes with a dress and texture hud.

The jewelry is wearable 4 seasons, it can be worn in many ways. I love the earrings 

The boots have a zipper up the back. That added detail gives it a touch of elegance. The boot at first appears bulky but it actually gives a slimming look to the foot.  The brass studs dresses it up, it is perfect for jeans or slacks.

I saw lots of people in the shop this evening, don't miss out!  Your limo awaits you..  Designer Circle - THE DISCOUNT STORE,
