Such a delightfully revealing bathing costume. I shall have to watch myself when the pastries are served! Without a corset to assist, we ladies have to resort to other measures to keep our wasp waists! Sigh . . . . self-denial where chocolate is concerned has never been my habit.
i am packing my steamer trunk immediately. Taking the waters is so good for the complexion, as well as the spirit.
The vacuum cleaner robot is a hoot! A fascinating look backwards and forward. Thanks, Leena.
I wasn't the model of clarity in my post (as usual). Proceeds from sales from the DECADES Gallery parcel (still under construction) go directly to Royal Courts....residents in the town aren't sharing...grin!
It really was fun. Linden Lab has lost the proceeds for one L$30 sale and is looking for it now. I'll send the remaining L$265 to Tatiana soon as I get inworld. Not a big amount to be sure, but it does give me the beginning of a hare-brained idea . . .
A combination of RL duties and computer "issues" (never replace video card, audio card, power supply, primary hard drive, operating system and Firestorm all at once if you want to maintain your sanity) has kept me from posting much or working on the on-going DECADES project after our Festival in July. The first outpost is almost ready to open, with decor items for sale benefiting NING.
A mini-preview this weekend, since Philomena's mayor (and Ning member) Blake Panache has kindly made prims available for residents to put our things for sale this weekend. A community yard sale. He nudged me to add some things from the not-quite-yet-open DECADES Galleries in town. Photo below. Some Mad Pea gatchas and some things that will be offered (at higher prices) in the Galleries.
If you're up for some shopping this weekend, pop on by (and tour the town if you haven't; it's a well-done recreation of American life in the midwest in the early part of the 20th century. Lots of residents are participating in the yard sales and it's fun to poke around in other people's things ...just like in RL...with the bonus that 100% of any sales will be turned over to Tat for Royal Courts costs for NING.

CAn't you just see all of these faces in poofy French gowns and court breeches?
These are terrific! Shopping expedition is in order. Kudos!
I heard that the builder is a woman in Japan and repeated efforts to contact her have failed. LL surely could reach her and I wish they would and that they would maintain the sim. As I understand it, revenue from the various shops covers the tier cost.
SL has too many Wal-Marts (in my opinion) and not enough Mont Saint Michel, Forgotten Cities, Suburas and so many other sims that no longer have a home.
My alt, "cousin Trolley Trollop" is working on a small Day of the Dead build which includes the traditional altars and offerings to relatives and others who have been important to her -- Elvis, William Faulkner, etc. (Trolley has rather catholic tastes and interests!) It occurs to me that creating altars to honor sims that no longer have homes in SL might be a) more fun and b) maybe generate some interest among people outside of this community who might donate to keep this forum funded.
Halloween is cool, but Day of the Dead (Dia de los Muertos) is cooler (again, my opinion) and is a marvelous, colorful, and loving tradition all through Central and South America. Sugar skulls, marigolds, Catrinas, dancing, singing, and families spending time together.
I'm babbling...mostly in frustration that places that make SL a wonder tend to go poof.
