The Very Unusual Frogstar B Magic

Do you love your partner so much that you want to give them the Moon and the Stars? Well now you can, Frogstar B is a romantic location but with a space age setting which is really unusual.

You land on an outer platform of a large space pod, but even the platform is planted like a meadow with its bright grasses and wild flowers.

Inside the pod there are pose balls for romantic clinches and dances for couples who arrive there, you can take the winding staircase up to the roof garden, which is very pretty. It was there I spotted the beautiful unicorn in the first picture.

I walked through the tunnels of the pod and the colours are breathtaking and the design is really lovely. Going outside I spotted a meteorite with a seat on it, and strangely, a tree growing out of it, so I sat on the seat for a while gazing back a the planet earth below.

Owned by the Wa-Kei-Sei-Jaku group, this sim has certainly had a lot of thought put into it to make it like no other, if you want to explore on your own or with your partner, you will really enjoy it. The colours and textures alone are startling and the mixture of lovely gardens and the galaxy are really out of this world!

The Aragon Ballroom Opens its Doors Again

The Aragon Ballroom, which had been temporarily closed, was re-opened last night. Master Builder Clive Hissop has renewed the ballroom and it looks beautiful and very romantic. I went over to see it last night and met sim owners Brie Janick and Seany1235 Blinker there and Clive also joined us. The ballroom is a sparkling fairytale building with chandeliers and a sweeping staircase leading to the exotic roof garden.

I thought it was a little bit strange that when I first got there, a large black car was parked inside the entrance of the ballroom, then I could see that it was Seany. Next thing the car had transformed into the biggest robot I've ever seen!

I shouldn't worry about bumping into robots when you go dancing though, there was a party being held at the West End Club next door and the theme was 'Best Robot' so Seany was just getting ready for that.

Clive should be very proud of the ballroom and Brie opened it at 5pm (slt) last night, so it will cater for a few time zones. Get your evening dresses and tuxes ready and head over to the Aragon for a special night out, but watch out for any giant robots wandering around!!

Alice In WonderSLand Performances Extended

The Avatar Repertory Theater Group (ART) have had such a runaway success with their in-world production of Alice in WonderSLand that they have extended the show for two further performances. 'Alice' had been sold out for each performance in May and the two extra live shows will be shown on the weekend of June 5-June 6. You can purchase the tickets on xstreet and there is extra information at the Cookie sim. I went to see the show and I was blown away with it, it was brilliant! It's one not to miss!!

Never Say Never to Never Never Land!

They call it Never Never Land and in the SL Showcase it's described as a 'magical, romantic fantasy hideout where residents are encouraged to dance with their partners under the stars.' I went over to find out what this wondrous place looked like and I wasn't disappointed!

The beauty of the sim strikes you on entry, the vibrant colours used to create this fairytale setting with it's dappled light and array of wild flowers is breathtaking.

You can rez a horse there to go riding around the sim and I decided to use my own horse to explore. It is romantic, there are little winding rivers leading from one place of beauty to another.
You can imagine dragons and faeries there, in fact there is a roaring dragon at the entry point, and the little red toadstools in the fields of wild poppies are so pretty.
I asked friend Drax Ember to join me and tell me what he thought, he agreed that it was the perfect place for those avatars who have romance in mind. Either alone, or with someone you love, you will enjoy your visit to Never Never Land owned by the TimeToTerraform group.

Moody Blues for Breakfast

Dancing in the morning!! you can't beat it! (well afternoon for me actually in the UK) but the morning for lots of other people across the world! I saw on the invite to the Tropical Drift sim that DJ Genevieve Gagne was having a Moody Blues morning in the Aragon Ballroom, so I decided to go over to listen to their great music! It was lovely, quite a few people had dropped in and Maggie Nemeth was doing a good job hosting too, making everyone welcome. DJ Gen spun her magic as she played all those romantic Moodie's songs. The Ballroom is just a nice size and has that special feel about it, it's a romantic venue, but you feel equally at home if you go on your own to dance. The crowd are friendly and everyone chats and feels relaxed there. DJ Gen has promised a Beach Boys morning, on the beach close by the Ballroom, for tomorrow, I'm guessing it's around 7 am (PDT), but contact DJ Gen in-world to be sure!

The Tropical Harmony Community Offers All You Need In SL

I can't count the number of times I have teleported from location to location looking for certain shops without success, well now I don't have to. You can find all the big named stores in one beautiful setting in the Tropical Drift region. In Tropical Drift you will find the Tropical Harmony Community with it's own London Club, Pub, Ballroom, Shopping Mall and golden beaches. The community has quickly become established, as Brie Janick and Seany1235 Blinker set up the island using their vast experience and knowledge of running SL businesses and residential estates from the days when they worked in Virtual London. Now branching out on their own, they have made the island into an absolute dream, the beach is the latest creation in Tropical Drift, having its own bar and dance floor, and the landscaping is glorious. The glamorous Aragon Ballroom, trendy West End Club and lively Union Jack Pub are all close by, and if you are lucky you can rent a skybox which gives you a luxurious furnished apartment with complete privacy (a snip at 250 Lindens a week and you can furnish it yourself if you wish to). Master Builder Clive Hissop has been creating all the wonderful buildings there, making it into a tropical paradise. In fact once settled into the Tropical Harmony group, you won't want to venture anywhere else in SL.
