In the Second Life there are some dance & music events I like to join in. A few of them I am putting into my calendar and introduce to you. They meet regularly. Music and atmosphere are teasing. I meet nice people there, even new friends. — Take a try!
Teleport to J & R Ballroom | Aruba Deep
Members & Friends’ Group The Merfolk of Aruba
DJ Violet
Sundays noon to 2 pm (slt)
Hosted by Julian & Rain & Team
Supported Charity Combat Stress – For Veterans' Mental Health
The J & R Ballroom was opened in October 2020. I already knew some of the organizators & participants personally, especially from the belly dance events on Ulukumbu. And I could not resist to produce a movie about that:
It is not quite easy here to distinguish who is guest or organizer. The leading letters of J & R Ballroom initially meant the organizers Juliette & Rain. But Juliette had to withdraw for the time being & may return soon. For her, Julian has stepped & will maybe stay. And if you now ask for Rain, you will hardly meet her at the evenings, but you will meet Maria. Well, Rain & Maria are the same person. And I think there are other people on the team.
Nor do they make any secret of it. In fact, they all act on the idea of not competing with each other, but supporting each other. They are all nice & helpful. And what may confuse at first glance is actually an expression of their creativity & zest for life. — I do enjoy that!
In a pavilion next to the ballroom you can get a ball gown & a tuxedo for free. So nothing stands in the way of a first visit!
The ballroom itself is decorated in the Art Deco style. In fact, the epoch of Art Nouveau is indulged here.
Music from the 1920s to the 1960s is the order of the day here. Violet plays music that gets your legs moving. Electro-Swing, Jazz, Charleston, Tango, Bolero. And of course she is happy about corresponding music wishes of the guests!
A charming feature is Mr Elegant. In the movie, I dance with him from 0:43 to 0:52. Mr Elegant appears when I click on the white cloud. And Jon tells me Mr Elegant is kind of a trial balloon. They want to see how he arrives & how he does. After all, they are already thinking about a kind of Miss Charming ...
The ballroom is not commercial at all. The TipJars are not obtrusively placed. I did have to look for them!
A donation board for a charitable cause is set up at the edge of the dance floor: The British organization Combat Stress - For Veterans' Mental Health supports former servicemen & women with mental health problems such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety & depression.

Winter solstice was celebrated in Dreamshire on December 19, 2020. Crim being the wizard of tunes delighted the colorful congregation with spiritual, contemplative & joyful music.
But before & above all, we reflected on the spiritual meaning of this sacred moment of the year. I did not dare to film the intimate opening ceremony in its entirety. But the priestesses allow me to publish their invocation here. Take their blessings!

Priestess Julu:
I light this fire in your honour
Mother Goddess.
You have created
life from death, warmth from cold.
Since the beginning of time,
we have gathered in this season
to celebrate the rebirth of the Sun.
On the Winter Solstice,
the darkest of nights,
the Goddess becomes the Great Mother
and once again gives birth to the Sun
and the new yearly cycle,
bringing new light and hope
to all on Earth.
Priestess Jessie:
On the longest night of winter,
and the dark night of our souls,
there springs the new spark of hope,
the Sacred Fire,
the Light of the World.
We gather tonight to await the new light.
On this night, the Maiden,
who is also Mother and Crone,
prepares to welcome the Sun.
Let's now prepare
to welcome the new light within.
Priestess Juu:
I take the sprig of mistletoe,
cut that day in the sacred grove,
and places it on the fire
raising her arms to invoke blessing
The Sun lives once again, the time of light is waxing.
We invite you, Great Mother, to our circle.
Bring us new light, the light of your glorious Son.
turning to the people & opening wide her arms
Come, let us dance in celebration of the Light!
Closing:
As we celebrate this holidays time
with lights, songs, gifts, evergreens,
and other folkways
of our ancestors of many lands
let us remember the ancient and sacred spirit
of Winter Solstice - that of renewal, peace,
and interconnectedness.
As the days grow longer again
and we embrace Winter
and the new Calendar year
let us kindle within ourselves
a deeper awareness
of the Divine Circle of Nature
of which we are all part.
Let us celebrate our relationships
with our families, friends,
communities, cultures,
all of Nature, and the Divine.
May we be filled
with Joy, Love, and Harmony,
and this Spirit of Yuletide shine
within and around us
throughout the year,
as the Wheel of the Seasons
continues to turn.
Blessed Be!
Good Yule! Merry Solstice!

movie star — classic car Karina greets Dreamshire
classic car Karina (rezz box version)
manufactured & sold by Babilonto Karu
Dreamshire Estate (Welcome Area)
owned & maintained by Nimoui & Lily Chenier
On the island of Dreamshire I drive classic car & take my driving test. Also I produce my 1st movie. How did this happen?
Babilonto, a friend of mine, has built an oldtimer. The model is called Karina. He parks the prototype in front of my cinema branch BIRDOLUMOJ on Auroro with the request to just try it out.
Now vehicles in Second Life are new territory for me. But after my first driving lesson I am so delighted that he immediately adds it to his shop range. So Karina gets available on the marketplace in different colors, also along with a rezzbox.
Karina ✿ a fancy classic car!
Already some weeks ago Nimoui & Lily Chenier announced in their landgroup that their island Dreamshire will celebrate its Fourth Anniversary in September 2020.
Happy Birthday ✿ Dreamshire!
Instantly I thought that Karina would be a wonderful match for this lovely island! So I gave the vehicle to Nimoui & Lily as a gift, along with the rezzbox. They tried out the vehicle on their island. And they were so enthusiastic that they installed the rezzbox even twice on their estate.
Visitors can now borrow a vehicle & drive around with it: here on Dreamshire Island (ground level) & here in Dreamshire City (sky level). Take your loved one by the hand & on a romantic classic car ride!
When you touch the rezzbox, a menu appears in the viewer. You can choose of 3 colors: red – blue – black. (Black is actually precious wood.) Then the vehicle appears from nowhere. Its wheels are not simply made of rotating textures, but of real spokes. Chassis & body are a feast for the eyes!
When you now touch the vehicle, its doors open. In the rear there is space for driver & one passenger. When you take seat inside, a funny horn sounds & the engine starts. Close the doors & drive off: Just like old times! Direction & speed are controlled with the arrow keys on the keyboard. Even myself can do!
But this is now also my first attempt to shoot a movie in Second Life. Concerning my movie's quality I ask you for your indulgence:
Nimoui points out that visitors can sink the red bollards. One of them I show on last picture: Just touch! It sinks into the ground with a rich sound & gives way for car. From the dead end you'll then have to come back somehow.
It takes a few moments before Karina disintegrates. So if you get out by mistake, you still have time to get back in. Her fuel is theoretically enough until next restart of the simulation – if you don't fall asleep before ...

calendar entry — Leggers & Tails in the Oasis temple
In the Second Life there are some dance & music events I like to join in. A few of them I am putting into my calendar and introduce to you. They meet regularly. Music and atmosphere are teasing. I meet nice people there, even new friends. — Take a try!
Teleport to Oasis (Dreamshire City)
Club Party Leggers & Tails hosted by Joyce Travels
DJane Martina Singh
on Wednesdays at 1 PM (SLT)
The oriental temple Oasis is located in Dreamshire City in the upper level. By the way, dance balls on Dreamshire Estate contain liquid dance animations of high quality. That makes fun!
There is no dresscode for this party. Sexually accentuated appearance or behavior will certainly result in warning.
DJane Martina sets up her equipment & installs the music. Do you see the thick glowing headphones? You can't escape her beats! Via Voice, she welcomes arriving guests again & again. Who arrives fresh, feels instantly welcome. None regrets that!
Joyce tells me, the party's name Leggers & Tails originally adresses steampunk people (leggers) & merfolks (tails). Also pirates & natives join in. Wonderfully mixed people here!
Hot club music drives the dancers. In general, the joy of life here is contagious. Too bad I can't stay that long, in the middle of the week. But I always come back here!
