.. drifting out in the dark ..

Still in the holiday spirit. I decided to check out a new club opening today and the Kallista dress from CindyS Tatham of !CST Designs was the perfect choice for a night out dancing.  The daring neckline and the straps across the back will draw attention as you move across the floor.  There are also shoes which really work well for showing off on the dance floor.  The ensemble can be found at this month’s round of Sneak Peek.

There are only a few more days for this month’s Sneak Peek which closes on the 5th of January. Organized by the team over at .Penumbra., you should take the time to check out the awesome items from a select group of creators!

The club “Electric” is having their grand opening all this weekend featuring DJs from around the world spinning some great trance, house, dance and vocal trance sounds.  Perfect for a fun time out with friends or just to check out the scene.  The club is on a sim on its own and the build offers an expansive dance floor, seating areas all around and a bar area.  The crowd is international and seem friendly as well.

You’re so hard to
You’re hard to
You’re so hard to cure…

’cause you’re hard to cure

Drifting out in the dark
Where you stop I start
It’s a long way back to the light
Tasted so bitter sweetly
Memories harbored deeply
In a dream there’s a remedy
’cause you’re hard to cure

.. bah humbug, not! ..

One of the most interesting and detailed finds at the December round of The Arcade Gacha Event is the Humbug Christmas gacha from DRD which features Ebenezer Scrooge’s house and furnishings.  I love the detail and the suggestion of seriousness that the house holds.

“There are some upon this earth of yours,’ returned the Spirit,
‘who lay claim to know us, and who do their deeds of
passion, pride, ill-will, hatred, envy, bigotry, and selfishness in our name;
who are as strange to us and all our kith and kin, as if they had never lived.
Remember that, and charge their doings on themselves, not us.”
― Charles Dickens, “A Christmas Carol”

“I will live in the past, the present, and the future.
The spirits of all three shall strive within me.”
― Charles Dickens, “A Christmas Carol”

“It is a fair, even-handed, noble adjustment of things,
that while there is infection in disease and sorrow,
there is nothing in the world so irresistibly contagious as laughter and good humour.”
― Charles Dickens, “A Christmas Carol”

“I don’t know what to do!” cried Scrooge, laughing and crying in the same breath;
and making a perfect Laocoön of himself with his stockings.
“I am as light as a feather, I am as happy as an angel, I
am as merry as a school-boy. I am as giddy as a drunken man.
A merry Christmas to every-body!
A happy New Year to all the world!
― Charles Dickens, “A Christmas Carol

“And it was always said of him, that he knew how to keep Christmas well,
if any man alive possessed the knowledge.
May that be truly said of us, and all of us!
And so, as Tiny Tim observed,
God bless Us, Every One!
― Charles Dickens, “A Christmas Carol”

.. no place i’d rather be ..

Winter in Second Life is so much easier than the slush, rainy, cold in the physical world.  We can easily be outside no matter the weather that surrounds us in the virtual world which can make the beauty of winter shine through.  This month’s Arcade brings us some fun items for winter and for just enjoying our virtual life.  Today I decided to jump on the Carrier Tricycle from (epia) and go for a short ride.  For today’s outing, the duffle coat from Coco was a perfect choice as were the white kitty earmuffs from Tableau Vivant to keep my ears warm.  While I was out roaming the streets of Honeybriar in Eastwood County, I did get a bit tired and plopped down in the cart of the tricycle… a perfect place for a rest!  Be sure to visit The Arcade during the December round to gather up all the goodies!
