Pride in your Counties Flag

Pride in your Counties Flag

Friday the 14th of June is the Flag Day 2019 in the USA. We come from a lot different countries and wanted celebrate a special event with our friends. Pride in your Countries Flags. 

And we were curious which flags we would see today, that we would get to know something more about our guests. We thought about from which countries everyone came. Besides the USA, France, Italy, Switzerland, Croatia, Argentina, Guatemala, Brazil, Great Britain and Mexico we had forgotten the Netherlands. Sorry Skye, this will not happen again. 

It is really impressive that SecondLife offers us all a common home and that we can meet each other even though we are really spread all over the globe. And so friendships develop.

Back to the 80's night

Back to the 80's night

After the last time journeys to the dinosaurs,  the excursion to the pirates of the Caribbean and our journey to the time of prohibition we wanted to make today again a journey through time, back to the 80s. It was a shrill and colourful time, and we already had a lot of fun in the run-up, when we prepared the Sunshiner's Pub, or put together our own outfit. And we knew from many of our friends that they were just as enthusiastic and excited. We were curious about what to expect this evening.

Casino Royal

Casino Royal

Who wouldn't dream of it? Splendid rooms, big cars driving up and bellboys receiving the guests in a correct uniforms. In the room a lot waitresses and waiters in black and white clothes with trays of champagner and treats in the hand. The women wear beautiful and elegant gowns and pieces of jeweleriy. The men in tuxedos or at least a chic suit with tie. Some of the guests drink champagne and otheer whisky or cognac. The men smoke expensive cigars. 

You can hear the rolling ball on the roulette table or the dealer's commands. We're at the Casino Royal with you. And don't forget, the Martini is drunk shaken, but not stirred ;-).  

This is the atmosphere in which we wanted to take our friends and guests today. Take a seat at one of the game tables or dance, laugh and chat with friends. 

We have with the Burlesque Palace the perfect location for this event, and after we were here with our "End of Prohibition / Speakasy" event, we had to rebuild quickly. So we removed some of the burlesque stuff and set up gaming tables instead. But it was quickly prepared, the ballroom was just made for this event. 

End Prohibition / Speakeasy

End Prohibition / Speakeasy

Today we wanted to travel back in time with our friends and guests. After we went back to prehistoric times last weekend with our "Dinosaurs Day" and celebrated as pirates on Tuesday with "Buried treasure / Pirates", we wanted to go back to the time of prohibition today. Or better, the end of this era, when the Speakeasies formed a flourishing subculture in the USA. This follows Burlesque, which was popular in the USA in the first third of the 20th century, in terms of time and content. Since Burlesque and Prohibition overlap, we have chosen our Burlesque Palace for this event. This is a new venue, which we had planned for our first Burlesque Night, and which was supposed to be deleted afterwards.

But also our Jazz Night with the "Mobster & Molls" theme follows this theme, because Al Capone and the Chicago Mafia belong to this time, got rich with alcohol smuggling and ran establishments and hotels. So jazz belongs firmly to this period. So we could be curious which music Valantine would choose.

So we could be curious and looked forward to this event. But everything starts with the preparation. We had to deal with the topic in terms of content, learned some new things, and prepared the venue.

Buried Treasure / Pirates

Buried Treasure / Pirates

Something very special happened today. It's still hard to understand, and many of those who took part in our event tonight probably felt it too. We had invited to a time travel, and then it really happened. We are together at a beach in SecondLife, there are many. But we really were together there, together with friends, and together as pirates gals and wenches and pirates.

But let's start chronologically, at the beginning is an idea. Couldn't we do a pirate event? And what name do we give it? That was more a spontaneous idea to call it "Buried Treasure / Pirates", and to set the Caribbean beach as the scene. 

Dinosaur Day

Dinosaur Day

For the dinosaur day there are various dates and triggers. But June 1st is also one of the dates, and on that day the Dinosaurs will come back and take possession of our Realm of Shades. We all love dinosaurs, and are already curious what will happen that day. We prepared this place and hoped that many guest would follow our invitation to our prehistoric event. We know that there were no humans at the time of the Dinosaurs, and maybe that's was better for humans. But we hoped to see many people with explorer look or loincloth.  A little bit of Fred Feuerstein and prehistory and caveman look.

Review of May

Review of the May 

Another successful month lies behind us. And it's time to look back. However, there have been some problems this month that we have solved finally. These have brought us even closer together and have cleared up the two groups.

And yet, or perhaps because of that, a very successful month lies behind us. But let's look back together.
