Follow-up Givenchi weekend and a date...

Saturdaynight/Sundaymorning when I was heading to the Candy Rose Beachbar, I noticed that 'the guy I talked about' was online...
After some IM-ing I dared to introduce him to my friends, holding my breath because of what he might say, like the first time: Hey, Natasha here wants to be collared very much, she says'. I expected something like: 'Hey, I hired her for tonight ;))
LOL. But in that masculine body with a cute head with gorgeous eyes and hair beats a warm heart, so he went with me on a stroll on the beach (we came as far as 15 feet away from the bar) and we were watching the sunset together...


Yesterday it still was Sunday and a nice day to explore SL! In the (my) evening I popped in at the second day of the Givenchi weekend. On arrival Anna Adamant immediately threw a beautiful necklace in my lap and added herself as my friend! Huh??! It was the quickest friendship ever! But I didn't mind because Anna was a delightful lady, who was really blushing because she got so much attention from her devoted bystanders.
She made a kind of display in which she showed some new items. The quality was sublime! If you zoomed into the gems, you could see the marvellous work to make the stones and metal very 'real' in looks and most of it was low-prim! My necklace though is 109 prims ;) to give an idea.



Anna answered some very good questions, at least she tried, because a fan asked her if she knew about a programm which auto-linked scripts to jewelry in a blink of the eye. I forgot the name, it was Gorz or Garz or something, but Anna didn't know it either: it was all hand work. The bling couldn't be put off, but if you buy items you can IM Anna and drop it in her invent and she replaces them for non-bling. Well, the quality was so nice, I won't nag about the absence of the bling-off script.
The other designers I couldn't find later on for the contest. But I thought: well, can't have it all. You can imagine my big surprise when GiveMeABig Oh from Bodies by Oh! IM-ed me to tell me I was one of the 4 lucky winners of a Nicky Ree gift certificate value 500L !!! I just couldn't believe it! So today I was biting my nails because SL didn't work, no payment info, no shopping! And the gift certificate is supposed to be valid for 24h :(( Whoever's idea that was!
So I can reach Nicky Ree only by e-mail to ask if I get some more time.

Aahh, Sunday became Monday, I danced with my good friend Francesco at the Candy Rose and we were talking about matters of the heart. We were so drawn into the conversation that everybody had already left for the bar without us noticing! Sorry, crew! I wanted Fra's advice on a matter, that happened somewhere earlier that night, and that was still bugging me.
Then I got an IM, from you-know-who (nickname PP), and since I was in the mood again for tease and talk we 3 joined another Italian girl in space(!)
This was in Shinda, with teleport on the ground to the spacial area, did not see all of it, but it look very nice if you like planets ;))Francesco took us to Dortmund, built after the real city in Germany, and left for bed. PP and I didn't mind because there was so much to discuss: from the sweet taste of strawberry jam to politics to ethics in SL to poetry. I have to admit it: PP is an intelligent and sweet guy! (Happy now?? :P:P)
By dawn's early light we were listening to the birds as we said goodbye..our hands lingering in eachother... We must stop meeting like this ;-))

Meet the designers!



Today was a very important day when you are a SL-Fashionista, because it was the first day of the Givenchi Grand Opening Weekend in the Givenchi Garment District. It was a rare oppurtinity to meet and greet some of the most famous SL designers! Most of them have openend here another shop and this was a meeting for fans of their fashion. I got handed a glass of champaign by caLLie cLine, yessuree!, and also present were Nicky Ree, Alyssa Bijoux, GiveMeABig Oh (Bodies by Oh!), Gabrielle Gateaux (Chez Gabrielle), Cherry Cheevers (DollyRock).

Because of the lag taking pics was almost impossible, but it was a great experience. I managed to ask some questions about what programms they use to design and I looked how the fans were drewling and jumping for joy ;)
These fashion designers have earned some big credit over the time because their clothing, skins, jewelry and designs are good quality. Though the prices are high and so is their popularity, so actually, there is not much difference with RL designers! LOL

Tomorrow on Sunday, July 29, 2007 are scheduled:
3pm-4pm Anna Adamant, Jewelry by Anna
4pm-5pm Mischief Parvenu, Freak Fantasia Fashions
5pm-6pm Miriel Enfield of Mirie.

Nice to mention: there is a shopping spree for 2500L to be spent in the Givenchi Garment district. Join the Givenchi Garment District News group to know more about the rules!

Candy Rose Beach Resort


My most favorite place to hang out when it's finally weekend is the Candy Rose Beach Resort!
It is a complete resort for everyone's taste: of course there are lots of places to hang out with your loved one ;). The main house is for formal dancing occasions on every Friday from 2-4pm and that extremely popular 80's dance on Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 4-6pm and Sunday afternoon I believe. The 80's disco is mainly hosted by DJ Dax en Serina and their crew and the atmosphere is wonderful: great music, live interaction and lots of singing and laughing!!
I love the Candy Rose Crew: Serina DeVinna, her partner and great DJ: Daxman Flanagan, Lordpercy Loon, his lovely partner Kina Babii, the thursday DJ: Cadenhead Faulds and his lovely wife Saffron Carter. Very special to mention is that the latter are together in RL too!! Those people make the Candy Rose very special, they are so personal and make you feel at home! Just come out on that colourful dancefloor in the sea to start your weekend with lots of fun!
We tend to drink some 'cheeky monkeys' afterwards at the beachbar to cool down ;)
Tp from the main house to all locations, next to the front door!

Blue Fusion


One of the first places I ever visited in SL was the Blue Fusion Jazz Lounge. It has a beautiful garden with a breathtaking waterfall and, so I saw, grotto for sweethearts ;)
I chose this place to show off my shirt, 'Hummingbird' from PixelDolls, which I bought this week.
At this same place I met the guy I was talking about earlier. In only 10 min. we had a rollercoaster talk and ride, because the region had a rolling restart and put me later in Trouble. I've never been there but it was a battlezone for roleplayers. I teleported the guy and then the Trouble started...lol... we managed to get away and had a dance in the grotto.
About that guy (I have to ask his permission to use his name ;)) he had a way with words, half-joking, half-teasing, which was very amusing ;)
I have to ask him to read me Harry Potter....

Second Start :)


Hello readers!

Though I blogged before, but not recently, I decided to start another one on one subject solely: Second Life! Since several months I'm addicted to SL and I want to share what I experience there with other people. I don't want to limit myself to fashion, as my first intention was, but everything in or about SL. Some RL (real life) issues may come up too.
But sit back, reader, and enjoy!
Remember english is not my native tongue, so excuse me for mistakes or foreign language ;)
I love all your comments!

Edit: today I met an interesting guy, he has a way with words I find very amusing ;)
Take care,
Natasha
