Lollygagger Lane

From the first time I got to Lollygagger Lane I got a warm welcome from Marvin Shackleton the manager of the Maple Motel. Also on the welcoming committee, Former SLPD Officer Nicky P. the pig and Lady Pertelote the chicken, roaming free in the filthy streets to welcome all that come here. The people seemed friendly enough so I decided to have a look around.

I found a 7 Seas fishing hole and decided to rest my weary mind in the rocking chair then a little Zyngo, in my quest for riches on one trip to this amazingly detailed build that spans over 3 sims. There are many attractions and features to this one of a kind place. There is a Brothel if you want to give into your carnal desires and can get the comlimentary crabs that are available.Don't get caught or you could end up on the wall of shame behind there. Be sure to say Hi to Bertha while you are there. All men love Bertha!! Lot of fun surprises be sure to look everywhere.

If that is not your thing there is a VooDoo Shack where you can find out your fate or take it into your own hands. Also the Maple Motel and a gallery with some rl pics of places that inspired this build. When you tp in there is a living room area where you can hang out, play tunes on the you tube television there and also there are a couple of freebies you can pick up. Cool milk crate to sit on and also a lamp. When there is no Dj on duty enjoy the relaxing reggae stream that they have there.

There is also plenty of shopping here too. Some of the stores that have a home on Lollygagger Lane are Nanji+ ,Pounds Pharmacy, Devo, Ewww and Tooter Claxton's avatar shop where you can get this nifty chicken av you here in the pics with me on the scooter. There are many unique stores and items, be sure to check it all out. May take more than one trip. There is an offical freebie area here also.

So many things to see and do. If I wrote about all the stuff I like about this place I would not be done for a while. Also anytime you come any number of colorful locals may be about. Like Baltoro Haystack who works at the newstand and local regular paramparamm Papp who made the bufferflies here and also has a vendor for them. You may even see Eolene Uralia and
Raskolnikow Roffo, 2 of the main builders here.

There is also a monthly noob auction here which the proceeds from this months will help to fund a rl wedding, and there is a donation box in the living room that will be there til 30 may for wedding fund if you feel inclined to donate and don't want the responsibilties that come with taking on a noob. Speaking of the Auction is on the 24th of May at 1pm slt but you can come and start browsing at 12 noon slt that day. You can buy or be bought. This is a wonderful place to explore that is ever changing and fun everytime I go. Don't miss a chance to see something truely unique in sl. Too many great things to mention you have to experience it for yourself. What are you waiting for? I may see you there...

The Nameless Isle

Recently I was introduced to an incredible sim called The Nameless Isle. The brainchild of owner Baron Grayson it was formally the Sanctum Sanctorum sim, the name was changed to The Nameless Isle when the sim was moved to open sea in 2008.
After developing a theme for the Isle that he calles Unseelie, he set to work removing all builds from ground level. For the benefit of those that learn to build while watching others he has left the sim open to the public throughout the development of this breathtaking sim.Starting with a clean slate, he began to experiment with lighting and teraforming the land, the first steps to developing the forest and tunnels that will connect the various areas of the sim that he refers to as "Scenes". Along with his best friend Keith Extraordinaire who also owns a sim, ideas of themes that would merge the 2 sims together to tell a story was thrown around. Complete with costumes and hidden group scenes found only by questing and acquiring items to allow entry. So many possibilites. However sadly I recently recieved word that it is possible that this beautiful place will disappear from sl. Baron Grayson has been largely absent from sl since Dec 08 and it is said that he will be putting the sim up for sale and this place will be no more. So be sure to visit this place while you can. On the ocassions that I have been there I have seen come interesting things so I share a few of the snapshots that I got here ... enjoy! Photo Credits...

Silvanus- DreamWorld SE

I decided that there were too many cool places to see in sl and not blog on those too so I started this. The first time I put out a call to the people I know for cool places to go. This was one of the first places that was offered up to me. Silvanus means of the woods and was also the name of the roman god of the forest. This was formerly Bettina Tizzy's Chakryn Forest and Treehouse. From what I understand she was not able to keep it up and for a time it looked like sl was about to loose a real treasure. Enter Kirk Nabob whose love for this amazing sim drove him to take it over and preserve it for all to enjoy. It is a beautiful forest with many nice spots to reflect on things and get away from all the craziness in any life.

The treehouse is one of the great fixtures of this place. It is huge and mostly empty but the views from here are amazing. Upstairs there is a nice place you can chill out or even play the piano, alone or with a friend.

Another great and totally unique spot that this place boast is an interactive painting where you can die like Marat in the famous painting by Jacques-Louis David. This was a project by AM Radio who by the way is responsible for many great builds and places that you will no doubt see here at sometime. He recreated this painting and put in a pose ball so that anyone can take part in that tragic scene again. When it as discovered that it was just sitting somewhere on a platform Bettina Tizzy, former owner of the forest and founder of the Not Possible in Real Life art group, decided that the forest would be a great home for this hidden masterpiece.

There is a little gully with a glowing willow and a hidden cave with glowing purple crystals. Also nestled through out the park are little places to talk and spend time with friends and loved ones. My words really cannot do this place justice. Best to come and see it for yourself. While I was at this park pondering on the pics I would have I ran into Scramp Wingtips, who had a fantastic av and was willing to pose for me.. thanks. Maybe I will see you there sometime too!! Enjoy

Faya Sound System

I stumbled upon this place one day and the people were so friendly that I decided to stick around.If you like Dancehall, Reggae, Ragga, Soca, Afrikan Music, Zouk, or Musique Africaine, then Faya Sound System is the place for you. When I was here mistigri Teatime was djing and we had a ball. I danced for hours and always have a ball when I go there. Lynna Jameson is the owner and now my friend, she has fantastic dances and always knows how to make you feel at home. If you are not in the mood to dance there is a nice area in the club to have a seat and chill with your buddies. Although the club is now open air if you prefer to be outside there is a beach area with a fire where you can spend time with someone special or you can opt to sit on the pier over looking the water. If you would like to have some cool reggae posters or other cool items there is a small shopping area for your shopping enjoyment. If you would like to be sure to stay abreast of all the fun things happening here join the Faya Sound System group.

FLASHMOB: Fashion Con Cafe @SL5B Cake!!

I am a member of the Fashion Consolidated Cafe and have been for sometime. There are many in this group that have shared in some of the most notable conversations I have ever had. If you are in this group then you know what I mean!! That being said sometimes I have the opportunity to bump into or meet up with some of my Fashcon
Cafe fam. Sat morning it was a late night as it was after 1am here got the call for a flash mob at the SL5B cake. All the usual suspects were there, Curvaceous Loon and Teena Basevi just to name a couple. Fun and merriment abound. This cake was huge. See the little stuff on top? Thats not sprinkles, well not the kind you are used to... they are FashCon sprinkles. Check out these cool pictures.
