My Secret Chamber

Another decoration challenge. I think a lot of us know the Storyteller's Burrow by 8f8. A kind of paradise for a book lover. It has a small secret chamber behind the fireplace which may become a real decoration challenge. What can one make of it? A secret escape to read a book? But the whole Burrow is a one big shelter. And so I decided to make a bathroom from it. A place to relax and to dream. And here is the result:

Project: Lazy weekend man cave

A challenge to exercise my decorating skills.

Making a man cave style place to spend long winter evenings based on Thor's Lazy Weekend Skybox. Not a football and a TV, but more a creative kind of guy who uses it as a hobby room.

And here is the result.

1. The bar. Spirits as a fuel for creativity to make the spirit of a true poet free. And coffee, another type of a fuel to bring the process to a completion.


2. The Wall of fame. The charming simplicity of expressing romantic feelings in a male way. Candles, guitar and wall art. What else do you need? Some practical staff of course like lights and clocks. And books. Just to provide some basic exercises for the brain (more like giving the others an idea I still know how to read).


3. No, it's not a crazy cat lady place. Just a heater to keep it warm and a bed to dream in comfort while lying down and staring out of window. And you know, it's kind of a law of nature - once it's warm and soft, a cat appears to take the place. Kind of pussy magnet thing.


4. The creativity corner. The place where the magic happens and the elusive dreams get their material form in shapes and colors. And what I do here is secret.

The Valentine question

There are many ways to pop the question. Shouting it from the roof keeps to be an effective one.


Featuring:

Fiasco Furniture has made it easier for many of us to pop the most important Valentine question in three different variations: "Go out with me", "Marry me?" and a simple "Wanna bang?" And to be certain your object of affection will notice the sign, you don't have to shout if from the roof, just put it there as a marquee and switch it on. Available at the current Cosmopolitan round (http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/No%20Comment/131/67/24, Feb 13-25, 2017). The price is 150L per sign or 300L for a fatpack of all three.

And comfortable clothe and shoes are very important when climbing the roof. So, my choice is MGMen's AXE jeans and Salute Sneakers for today. The jeans together with the Vicking jacket are presented at Signature event (http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Alpha/128/145/22). For the sneakers you can visit Shiny Shabby event (http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Shiny%20Shabby/132/93/22) or MGMen's mainstore (http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Treasured%20Haven/194/75/21).

When the kidz come out

It has been a long time since I left this neighborhood. The sleeping suburb where nothing happens in years. A kind of Pleasantville preserved from all changing power of time. But not tonight when the rumbling noise of my bike has broken the eternal silence of the night into thousand pieces. The kid is back in town.


Featuring:

Trying the last release by  Optmus Race in action. The OR C1300 motorbike. There is a place for a passenger, so I may pick someone up.  A realistic view and feel for a virtual ride. Light, sound and smoke effects and low lag riding are just a few of many features of this vehicle. Comes in three sizes to fit any avatar. Land impact is 45 and the price is 900L for now (normal price is 2000L). Available via the marketplace (https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/OR-C1300-CONFEDERATE-CONSTELLATION-BOX/10706002) or in-world at http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Copacabana%20Rio/164/127/3883)

Your Valentine

Being the perfect Valentine of someone's fantasy. The classics of a Good Old English architecture combined with a sturdiness of a motorbike rider, a laxness of a Dandy look and of course the romantic power of roses.


Featuring

All new and shiny OR C1300 motorbike by Optmus Race. This motorbike makes your Valentine possible to join the ride. A realistic view and feel for a virtual ride. Light, sound and smoke effects and low lag riding are just a few of many features of this vehicle. Comes in three sizes to fit any avatar. Land impact is 45 and the price is 900L for now (normal price is 2000L).

La vie en Roses poses and props by Luanes World. A rose admiring (or offering) female pose (which looks perfect on a male as well as you can see) comes in two versions (one is a mirror of another) and three rose props (two single roses for each hands and a rose bouquet).

And there ia also a lying down pose for L99.

The good old Sven outfit by MGMen's which I love to use for the romantic scenes playing a Dandy. Was presented at Signature Event, but now still available at MGMen's store - http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Treasured%20Haven/207/72/22, Today in classic black and white.

Sit! Be quiet! I can feel him too!

That awkward moment you feel the presence of someone or something accompanied by a warning growl of your dog. Fortunately your best friend is there to protect you. Just don't look back.
