From Japan to SL

There are many dance balls at Baba Meeting Area including one for a tiny. If you touch it by mistake and did not stop it completely, it comes back later and makes you sink suddenly while standing in the pool. In order to stop dancing, the ‘Stop Animating My Avatar’ command is not enough and it is necessary to touch the ball again.




I tried also. All fours are folded. It is bizarre to see hands or feet protruding from the back occasionally. It is cute with dress hiding limb. This should be the one that I was done when passing a TP gate the other day.

  

The furniture was well designed making nice atmosphere, and authentic jazz music is played always. It reminds me of a nice bar where a guy who was my close friend used to take me long time ago…




The neat saxophone was made of 196 prims!




This place is completely free with no chip jar. It was open before 9:00pm and suitable for me as an early bird. There were a nice master and sophisticated guests. I was one of constant visitors for about one month, but the master faded out presumably being too busy with his business, and recently nobody is there most of the time.

Next to the water, flying in the fire. There were fireworks set at LEA. I jumped into it.




As if I were floating amidst roll of drums, it brought me a kind of exhilarating feel.




This was at Edo festival four years ago. The fireworks which were blasted off from 204 launchers set along the moat of Edo castle were magnificent. I wore dark clothing to efface myself but there was no problem since there were so many fireworks in the sky.




The fire is not safe always. The open fire that was set at Temi’s Teahouse in winter will make your clothing burn if coming too close. This is when I was at firefighting at massive fire of Edo donjon. The fire was too large for us and it was finally extinguished with rain.

  

I had thought that a townscape using a full SIM could be an art by itself. This LEA full-SIM art by Aley Resident is really a town! The buildings and ships may not have been newly made for this purpose, but they are well coordinated.




There is an underwater world set with this town. A treasure hunting could have been done here and there are many treasure chests. I wore a kind of submarine armor to match this area.

There was a kind of underwater base. A figure with more suitable costume than me was there, although it has a strange tool.




There were undersea volcanoes with flowing lava. A small one was used in a kitchen of a house. Fiehes only boiled, not broiled. It should be very hot without strong cooling system.




The several houses under water are well furnished. I took off the diving gear.




There was a strange creature like a cow. In Japanese sea slug is called sea cow. Is Aley Japanese? Her profile says, “This is an old pic from more then 10 years back. I'm not nearly as young and sexy anymore."
A beautiful full-SIM bay city was introduced before in the article shown below. The SIM is still there.

Visited the UWA Grand Finale that was held at BOSL Grand Amphitheatre as usual. There were about 90 attendants but it was not heavy this time. The space was too wide to shoot the whole name tags in one picture.

The winners are listed at the URL below. Anyone was able to submit a top-10 list in the order that will be the ultimate juried order. I also submitted but ended in complete miss. There were two categories, general and non-script, making top-20, but only eight of them were included in my top-20, and only 5 of them were found in my top-10, and what is worse, the two arts that got grand prize in each category were not included in my best 20. I realized my taste is distorted… But it could be OK as this blog is also for my own satisfaction….
