Jar of Hearts

I heard this song in Bar Soho tonight when I was hosting for Billy.  Totally beautiful and totally me.

Arctic Storm for Monday Mania June 20th 2011

Also on the Monday Mania list today (see previous post for SF Designs item) is the outfit below from Arctic Storm.  The Leather Bebe outfit in olive comes with shortie top, green corset and leather pants.

While I was at Arctic Storm, I also discovered a freebie outfit (shown below).  It is called Grace and comes complete with necklace and shoes.

SF Design for Monday Mania June 20th 2011

The gorgeous Martine cocktail dress in blue with flexi fringe is the Monday Mania item at SF Design this week.  I already have it in other colours, but couldn't resist another colour as it looks stunning and moves beautifully.

Taxi Driver

Going home after an event in Bar Soho.  Thank heavens London cabbie Tobias is always on hand to get me home safely - and he is very discreet so no need for a super-injunction!

The Bodyguard

Taking refuge behind Tie in Bar Soho when I was feeling a bit overwhelmed by the onslaught of sexual advances from newbies.

Flag Girl

For last night's party at Madame Lala's London Revue, there was a Union Flag theme.  Using the bits and pieces I have been gathering to help me create things to sell in the store I am renting, I came up with this outfit!

Boney M at Madame Lala's London Revue!

Mainland London is celebrating the move to their own estate, London City, today from 12pm PDT (8pm UK)  at Madame Lala's London Revue.

On Stage from 2pm will be the legendary Boney M in Concert
.
The theme for the day is Best In Union Jack - and rumour has it that there is a spectacular prize!  The prize isn't a night with me and my shoe collection, so don't ask!

Hope to see you there!

Glorious!

A glorious view on a glorious day over the glorious London City sim - and no sign of rain!

Cavorting on the wall above the entry to London Zoo gave me a chance to get a better view - and give an eyeful to the passersby below.  I am sure they were all grateful for me showing off the lovely dress from Rush.  It is currently a freebie at their store and I love it.

Make up: Cherry Bling from Glamorize
Necklace: Silver Bead Necklace from Grumble
Dress: Retro! Mini Dress from Rush 

London City Launches

The Mainland London sims were set to move to a new private sim on July 1st, but building work on the new sim London City progressed much faster than anyone anticipated.  The new sim is now up and running.  Merchants are moving from the old sims to the new one.  It can support more avatars, is less laggy and offers more opportunities for landscaping.  It is still a work in progress, but things come together with time and use.  Personally my favourite is Comptons pub as I can see how it can be developed in future (and would love to get my hands on it!), but everywhere is fantastic.  Everyone has been really positive and it just feels so much more pleasant.

The main venues are listed below plus there are numerous stores for all your shopping needs.  Stop by and hang out with the London City crew some time.

Demis Does The Conga

Friday night proved to be another excellent party night at Madame Lala's London Revue.  The guest artist was Demis Roussos, who was resplendent in a tie-dye kaftan.  

Performing a selection of hits and classic songs, Mr Roussos caused hilarity by leading revellers in a conga!

Though colourful, my gown for the evening was one of the more demure outfits on display.

Gown: Vica (dollarbie) at Camilla's

Vintage Bather

Clothing: Vintage bathing suit (hunt gift) from 22769

Favourite Stores: Grumble

Grumble is one of my favourite stores in SL.  It sells affordable clothing and homewares and it divided up into separate buildings for:

• Women
• Men
• Neko
• Accessories
• Pets
• Beach
• Home

Everything is very reasonably priced and there are hunts, product camping chairs, lucky chairs, Mini Mania boards and Midnight Mania boards.  The gift cards are always popular on the boards, as are the fatpacks.  There are also $10L Weekend Specials, which are a full outfit.

The floor of the women's store is beautiful.
