The Second Pride Chapel

Away from the busy stages and shopping areas the Build Director Jak Calcutt has created a little haven of peace and serenity where we can all visit to remember our lost ones for contemplating life and it's never ending caprices.

The non-denominational Second Pride Chapel is a beautiful build by master builder Jak as you can see in the pictures in this post.

Inside the wonderful little chapel there are candles that you can light in remembrance of a lost loved one. (Just touch a free candle and then write the name in local, without < or >, as I mistakenly did *sigh*.)

The chapel is located in the Southwest corner of the main sim or you can use this landmark for easy access Second Pride Chapel (SLurl).

Just A Bar@Burnal Equinox 2014

I am extremely happy to announce to the world that Clan McMillan is represented at this years Burn2 in SecondLife. The Burn2 opened yesterday and ends on Sunday with the burning of the all the builds.

My beloved and trusted Sergeant at Arms sirhc DeSantis McMillan was chosen by the organizers of the event a while back, but I was sworn to secrecy by the sweet man and have not been able to share the information with you earlier.

As a part of my lairdly duties I was happy to visit the build yesterday accompanied by my royal consort Tomais. At our arrival we were heartily greeted by Sarge and his adorable spouse, my dear friend, Mrs. Vampi Twine DeSantis McMillan McMillan (honorary).

Contrary to his spouse my Sarge is an exceptionally accomplished hugger

sirhc's build is a bar in the skies that offers the other builders and all the visitor a space for rest, relaxation, friendly chat and meditation. The architecture is definitely "steampunkish" in style and highly imaginative and creative.

I must however warn all visitors to mind where they walk, as the build completely lacks railings and there is a long fall to the ground.

The sweet hosts are already aflame in anticipation of the burning that will take place on Sunday March 30, 2014, at 10 PM SLT (if I am correctly informed).

Here is the landmark to Just a Bar (SLurl), it will take you to the ground level under the bar. You will land in an acidic green slush that may be green diesel or rocket fuel.

To get up to the bar you will need to cam straight above - it may be helpful to use the surrounding walls - and when your camera reaches the build above you right click and choose "sit".

Once you have seen sirhc's build you may wish to look around at the other attractions, the organizers offer a comfortable balloon tour for doing that.

Clearance Sale at "Tatty Soup"

Tab Tatham

The amazingly talented furniture builder Tab Tatham is closing her store "Tatty Soup" to embark on new ventures.

All of her wonderfully designed, cute, tasteful, whimsical and beautiful furniture is being sold out this weekend for ridiculously low prices before she is deleting everything to clear her Inventory for what is to come.

As I understood it when we spoke to her yesterday she will continue with furniture design.

I shopped until I almost dropped (well, I had to take a nap afterwards) at her yard sale yesterday. Go there, or you may regret it for the rest of your SecondLife.

The Rhino Writers Broadcasting Party

SL Live Radio broadcast party at the Rhino Writers pavilion at SL10B can only be characterized as a thundering success.

DJ's Johny Alderton and Heloq Tomsen kept all of us in an excellent mood with their music and chat. The crowd was lively and and in excellent spirits so we all had a good time. Among other things I learned that Heloq is from Italy and that his name is pronounced "Ghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh-elo-kkkk".

Butch, myself & Guyke

From a strictly personal point of view there were a few added benefits and some drawbacks, which I will list for you here (What is it with me and lists these days, this must be the tenth in just a few days..?)

Benefits

1. I got to meet Dodo, my most dedicated reader (which was proven by the fact that he was the only one who had read my post on saggy pants)
2. Vampi Twine-DeSantis-McMillan-McMillan (honorary) was there, I had not met her in a long time.
3. Bastien Berboral kindly shared a few  landmarks to shops I had never heard of after showing me pics of their awesome clothing lines.

Drawbacks

1. My son told me that, "Face lights are so 80's!" (I am so not going to share my new landmarks with him.)
2. My friend Butch told me that my beautiful skin is "OLD!". If I had newer skin I would not need face lights, was his reasoning.

Well I guess that's what you have family and friends for, to tell you the awful truth when you need to hear it. The only problems are that I feel ugly without the face light - as the old-timer that I am - and I love my skin. Oh well, maybe I do need to update my appearances, but it will be a struggle....

Hair Fair 2011

The Hair Fair 2011 has started.

Get all the landmarks to all the designers at my good friend Tina´s blog Tinas universum - Hair Fair 2011 (url).


I will not even attempt to go there until the end of the week, and then only when the Americans are sleeping!

A good idea could be to join the "Hair Fair DEMO Group" (url), then you can try on the demos hey are esnding out in your lag free homes to decide what to buy.
