and the artists

JJ Goodman 

and 

Tomais Ashdene

Welcome you all to the opening of the new erotic gallery at Southern Charm today

From the invitation on Facebook:

"An intrepid trio of SecondLife photographers invites you to an opening at their very private space, the Northmead Gallery at Southern Charm for a showing of gay male erotic art. (or as Kahvy puts it, "dicks, dicks, dicks!") (or as Bock puts it, "a celebration of the male form) (or as JJ puts it, "our brush of love!") (or as Wayne calls it, "Bowchickie wow wow!) (or as RickJ said, "Meow.")

The party starts at 1:00 PM SLT, and DJ Kahvy will be pumping (get it? Pumping!) out some hot dance tunes.

This is just for the fun of it since we had a great time doing al these photos, and we've a cool space to show our art in the rundown city block that makes up the Gallery. Feel free to wander and enjoy some of special places we've built into the venue.

Hope to see you there!

Disclaimer: male/male nudity and sexual acts are portrayed in the photos. No small animals were harmed in the making of these photographs. Enter at your own risk."

Landmark to The Northmead Gallery!

Madonna Continued - The Missing Scenes

As I am certain, most of remember, "Madonna´s Virtual History Tour 2016 - Strike A Pose" was hit by some misfortunes which lead to some alterations having to be made, among other that the dance master crashed and was unable to get back into SecondLife. 

I was however able to catch the show at Fruit Islands Estate, this time without the irritating glitches. So here come a few of the missing scenes...

Benefit for Bri - The Results

Today we learned the results of the monthlong "Benefit for Bri"-drive, initiated by RickJ Ewing and hosted by The Starlight Ballroom, accumulated to support Bri Franklin in her quest to finish her bachelor's degree in secondary education.

Through the collaboration of the generous content creators, who donated products to be sold with 100% of the proceeds going to the benefit, and the generous residents of SecondLife who besides buying the donated goods also made large donations the total proceeds of this benefit landed on an astounding L$147,000 and change, which is the equivalent of US$540.

The proceeds were today paid in full to Bri's GoFundMe.

For a full report please follow this link to Facebook.

JJ Goodman's Photos from the Benefit for Bri

Today I am sharing my talented brother JJ's photos from the highly successful Benefit for Bri at the Starlight Ballroom yesterday. The reason for this is that "grey people" kept messing up my own pictures, and JJ's are much better anyway.

Kahvy was the master of ceremonies for the full four hours the event lasted, sometimes DJ-ing but always telling us what dances to perform to the music that was played.

Live entertainment was provided by singers Samm Quendra and Reallymad Morpork. They were both in excellent form.

CALL FOR CONTENT CREATORS

"Hi! Thank you for taking the time to read this! We are going to do a benefit to help Bri become a teacher and we need YOU!

A dear friend of ours and a well known and loved member of the SL community, Tomais Ashdene, has recently bumped into some bad luck due to corporate downsizing. His amazing daughter is studying to become a high school history teacher. Unfortunately that is a costly education, so she started a GoFundMe campaign to pay for school on top of her part time job.

We at Starlight Ballroom are passionate about education and want to help her become another great teacher! The world needs more people like her in our schools!

What do we need?

• What we are looking for is people who would be willing to donate one or more of their creations for sale during the event.
• Sales will start as early as may 7 and will run the entire month of may. When participating we'd love to have your item by may 14 at the latest, if possible.
• Since prims and space are very limited low land impact items and/or boxed up items and/or items that can be viewed in one's own store or showroom are preferred. We sadly don't have the prims open for big displayed items. 
• We have a full perm free vendor for you to use, just put your price and percentage you want to donate in the script

Market stalls go first come first pick. You do not need a group for rezzing.

• There are no rules to what you donate and how much of the sale revenue you want to donate (though we hope for 100%)
• You can donate anything you like, but things to do with teaching or history will be extra cool!
• The item does not have to be new or exclusive, nor are there any rules on selling it during or after the event, but promoting the event is of course appreciated!
• There's no rules on permissions other than No Full perms with licenses attached to avoid any DMCA issues.

The benefit will have a big party with DJ's and live artists on Sunday May 22 during which we will promote your store/brand as part of the sponsors! We will also have a strong presence on Social Media!

If you wish to be a part of making a teaching dream come true, let us know and we'll hook you up as soon as we can.We would LOVE to have you be a part of making this dream become reality!!! Please talk to Rickj Ewing or Kahvy Smith for more info or to sign up for this amazing benefit today!!!!
