The Contractor...


     Have I ever told you that I love to laugh and have fun??   Sometimes though I think I'm the only one that laughs.  Anyway,  my very good friends, The Skytowers,  are remodeling their sim.  They removed all that was on the land and started with a clean slate.   I went to visit and saw they had started rebuilding.  It was late at night and they were heading to bed.  Being the good friend I am, I told them that I would "handle" things while they were gone.  I would be the Contractor.   Doesn't that sound like I should be in one of those Mafia films?    

  
      Here I am in my Contractor garb.  The tool belt was a freebie that I absolutely love.  The shorts & boots are or will be available at Skytower Designs when the sim is back together.  Oh...and the helmut and shirt are Scarlot originals...if you want a copy (which I highly doubt)...let me know..hehehe.


   
     So, before Strum logged out for the night.  I asked what he would like me to work on...he said, "A 14 floor hotel called, The Scarlot Towers"   Ya can't blame a girl for taking him literally!  I made it exactly 14 floors even though Rockr told me that buildings don't have the floor 13 because of the bad luck associated with that number.  Well, there isn't any bad luck in InWorldz unless, of coarse you are ME playing Grabby. (sighs)


    I am pictured here with my main construction worker...Mr. Rockr.   I made him take off his shirt.  What?  Don't judge me!  Isn't that how  construction workers are dressed?  Well, if you can look past his hunky chest, notice the sign?   Yes, I changed it to The Scarlot Skytower.  I'm always telling my friends that I want to be a Skytower, so this was my chance.  Now that I've experienced it for one night...I'm glad to be a Verrazzano.  Being a Skytower was wayyy too much work!!


    When they are finished with their sim,  I will post about it and give you all the links!    Thank you to Strummer and Kally for letting me play with them all the time.   :)

Crooked Creek Yacht Club


     Today was the Grand Opening party for Justin Meyer's Crooked Creek Yacht Club.  DJ Kally Skytower started the party with a set of country tunes that got the crowd moving. 

 
  
     Best of white was on the contest board, so everyone was dressed appropriately.  Bobbi Foxtrot & I split the pot.  Woot!  Way to go!!

  
       Ending the party,  DJ Strummer Skytower stepped onto the stage in a swimsuit, where he tossed out some rock tunes.  They both took requests making the party more personal for everyone.  Best of swimsuit was on the contest board, so everyone removed most of their clothing and showed some skin.  o.O  Kally Skytower & Kerry Wild were the winners!  Way to go, Girls!!

     Crooked Creek is located on the Iz Straits so Justin has put a rezzing area just so that you are able to rez your small boats and go sailing for the day.  Rez your boats here. Feel free to explore the area.  You will find some nice couples areas, so bring your friends or loved ones and have an awesome time.

Beauty is...

Beauty is a Million Colors

Beauty is more than appearance
Beauty is love
The graceful wings of a dove
The endless imagination in a dream
Beauty is not always something that can be seen

Beauty is laughter
And the remembrance after
Beauty is hope
When you have no reason to
Beauty is he and she and me and you

Beauty is forgiving
No matter how hard
Beauty is kindness
Making the best of a mess

Beauty is tears
And overcoming your fears
Beauty is individuality
The courage to be yourself
Beauty is a book, sitting on a shelf

To define beauty,
An impossible task
Because truly,
Does anyone really know, I ask
Beauty is different to me
Than to you
I wonder if anyone ever knew


   The Land of Lar is a beautiful sim.  Lar Jun has created a masterpiece! Go visit!!

Shiver me timbers!



   The Groggery,  a new pirate themed venue, had it's Grand Opening tonight.  Owned by Tadhg and Ladyheart Muirin, this venue certainly had the pirate ambiance.  Throughout the venue there are skeletons lounging around drinking the rum, and there is even one dancing on poles!


   DJ Strummer Skytower took over the stream and played some awesome rock music along with a few pirate songs.  I loved hearing all the "pirate" talk in chat.  Was a great time!


  A good crowd turned up,  some wore pirate garb, others not so much.  All in all... it was a very good party!


    Make sure you explore the sim, it called Port Tollsmear - Pirate Playground.  So many neat things to see.  Kudos to you, Tad & Lady...what a fine place to visit and explore.  Thank you to Quadrapop Tree for the photos shown.  You can see more of her photos here.

The Local Watering Hole of Port Hispania Gallaecia


   
        Ahhhh... very refreshing!   I stumbled around today and found the cutest little port called Port Hispania Gallaecia.   Amongst the beautiful palm trees,  grasses, and pretty flowers, you will find various buildings.  Harbor Master,  Printing Shoppe & Bindery,  The Fish Stall,   The Pharmacy, and as seen here The Scarlet Queen's Tavern are a few of them.  You will also find a cluster of cottages, suitable for home living.  The dock area is secured with canons so don't plan on coming with a group of pirates.  There are many places that could be suitable for photos.   So, when you have time...scoot your butt there and check it out.  Oh, and when you are done looking around,  stop by the Tavern and have a cool off!

Have I got a story for you....



      Today, my friend Kally and I went to a story-telling event at The Wandering Wolf.  Henning Lionheart is the narrator for Chapter 3 of The Hobbit.  I have never been to a story telling event in InWorldz before, and Henning did a marvelous job.  The story-telling took place in a ship's library.   There were chairs & cushions to sit upon, and was very cozy.   The next reading, on Sunday,  will be Sherlock Holmes.  If you get a chance,  you should drop by for a story!

I scream, You scream...


  

     ... We all scream for ice cream!!!  Some of you may know that one of my favorite things in any world is Ice Cream!! We've found the cutest ice cream shop out there.  You get a choice of flavors.  Anywhere from Vanilla Fudge Swirl to Triple Mint Overkill.  While Rockr prefers the Death by Chocolate, I loved the Fuzzy Navel.   There are 16 flavors to try.   Let us know which is YOUR favorite.

You can find this fabulous ice cream shop on the Victoriana Innocent

Home is where the heart is...




Home

Home is the place your heart resides
Home is the place that you decide
Home is the womb that holds the soul
Home is the place where one is whole

Home is the glow you hold in your eye
Home is the emotion that makes you cry
Home is safe and a place of peace
Home is where all strivings cease

Home is protective against the others
Home is full of sisters and brothers
Home is where you find your rest
Home is where you feel your best

Home is a memory that follows your being
Home is a dream for those agreeing
Home is the place where reserves fall
Home is the place you yearn to call

Home is where the family meets
Home is a place of restful retreats
Home is the place you know you’ll be heard
Home is the pace where nothing blurs

Home is all these wonderful things
Home is the place you develop wings
Home is the place that you’ll find one day
Home is the place where your heart will stay

Skyblue... Butterfingers...


    Remember the games you used to play as a child?   Rocking horses, trampolines, musical chairs and hopscotch are among the various games I played.  Hopscotch was one of my favorites though.  I found a colorful hopscotch board while out exploring.

     Victoriana Innocent is the sim, created by Door Mouse, that I came across recently.  Victoriana Innocent is a sim geared for Child Avatars.  Door stated that she wanted to create a safe, age appropriate place where children can hang out with their friends and/or family.  She also has child-size homes that are available for rent for the children that are too busy to have families, in between families or just would like a private place to call their own. 

   When you arrive on the sim, there is a box available to click that has landmarks of all the kid merchants and the fun & welcoming places for kids to go.  Carnivals, and adoption agencies are among those landmarks.  Door stated, "finding kid stuff in search is the hardest thing, and they do not have them included in the welcome HUD.  This is what inspired the build."

   So, regardless if you are a child or an adult avatar, this is a place that I recommend you to visit.  Besides the things mentioned above, they have bullriding, musical chairs, and  a chess set for your enjoyment.  You can grab an ice cream cone, head down to the picnic area and sit with your friends and watch a movie on the huge movie screen.   Sounds like a fun time to me!!  Maybe you'll even catch me there!!  :)

Gardening with Button Moon!


     I love everything about Nature and being outside. I love flowers, trees, animals..you name it.  I love it!  One of my very good friends,  Elsie Moon, is the owner of Button Moon.  She makes shabby chic furniture and decor.   Recently she made this Greenhouse for her Group Gift.  It came with the ladder, bench, shelves, pots, soils and such.  If  you are interested in this type of decor, please visit her on the Triton sim.

Double Feature..

   
     Ever try to clear out the landmarks in your inventory?   Last night I started.  I would teleport to various landmarks or not depending if they worked or not.   I found some very interesting places.  The first one I came across was a place called Birchglen North on a sim called Diamond Valley.  This is basically a residental sim created by Birch Wind, but opened to the public since there are a few shops, parks, waterfalls, a lodge and a cinema.  
   
      I was in a mood for some relaxation so I popped some popcorn in RL, grabbed a soda and pressed the play button and watched not only one but two films.  I watched both,   American Hustle and The Secret Life of Walter Middy.  I had the theater to myself so no dealing with the light of someone else's cell phone popping up in the darkness or the ringing of one for that matter.  What a pleasant night!

   If you get a moment or two, Birchglen North and South are wonderful to explore.  There are houses available for rent also.  There are different styles to choose from and seems like a nice community.  I would highly recommend it.  And make sure you catch a movie!!!

Driving Mr. Daisy..

 
   One of the things I love about being here in InWorldz is hanging with my friends.  I have very creative friends.  They make the coolest things!  Pictured with me is Strummer Skytower.  We are riding in a golf cart that he has made.  He likes to make rideable things.  He has made boats, bumper cars, go karts, dune buggies, and now this golf cart.

    Check out the Skytower sim called Traditions.   There you will find most of these vehicles that you can test out. If you like them... Skytower Designs will have them for you to purchase.  Did I mention that I practically live there on the sim?  I love to race...so come on by...try to beat me!!  LOL

Come Away with Me...

   
      At the Hi Hat Club tonight listening to DJ Kally Skytower spin a contempory jazz selection.  Among the titles she selected was Norah Jones'  Come Away with Me.  I love this song!  Here are the lyrics...

Come Away with Me

Come away with me in the night
Come away with me
And I will write you a song

Come away with me on a bus
Come away where they can't tempt us
With their lies

I want to walk with you
On a cloudy day
In fields where the yellow grass grows knee-high
So won't you try to come

Come away with me and we'll kiss
On a mountaintop
Come away with me
And I'll never stop loving you

And I want to wake up with the rain
Falling on a tin roof
While I'm safe there in your arms
So all I ask is for you
To come away with me in the night
Come away with me

     Where will I be tomorrow?   No one knows...not even me!  I love mysteries :)
