Random Update #4

There might be another post after this, but I felt the need to do a random update.

• Monte Carlo Night is off. Doing Winter Ball in December when I have more time to set it up.

• Friends, please send Christmas wishlists to me or Adia and we will see which gift is the cheapest.

• I will DJ this Sunday, 4-6pm

• Cat found this new crazy store called -RC- Cluster. It has the most random stuff for really good prices! I will get a SLURL asap. Best of all I got a free gift for being a blogger so I will have to check that stuff out and report back. And I will have pictures. YAY

• Speaking of pictures, I took some at the Princeton sims and will post those. Unlike the previous times where it has been all untouched, I have decided to play around with the images. Also I’m thinking about following, if I have time, the Mastermind’s challenges and post them here. So that way I have another regular feature, unlike most of my just random posts.

• Dollarbie lamp at the store! Owly has been bugging me to make one for a friend’s freebie group, so I made a simple pendant. Nothing fancy, only in-world, not OnRez. See Blogroll for the SLURL to the shop. Since I’m not at home right now, I can’t post a pic, although I might post it when I get home.

Random Update #2

• I have decided to dj on Sunday for those who can’t make Friday’s Halloween Party. Music will be the same, just in different order. Costumes preferred. Major Lift

• Still no update on Mercury. Need to get minutes from meeting. Will try to get back there and do some work.

• For the Americans in the audience, yes I have at least one reader, please go and vote! Yes I know it has nothing to do with SL(tm), but still.

• Saw one of my old good SL(tm) friends last night. Was really happy.

• Got to get sunglasses for Adia for a quick photo. Perhaps find the right pose aswell. Awesome stuff at Cachet, all females need to check it out ad you will find some must haves. lol

Plasma-rific

So I got a plot on Plasma!!! So I decided on building a club called Mercury. Since I dj for fun at two clubs I thought it would be fun having my own club to play at, at least for a few times.

So the design concept is fairly simple, pulling from 3 sources of retro-futurism.

• My first source is the Jetsons.

I’m really focusing in on the cylinders and rings that seem to dominate the designs on the Jetson’s buildings. Yes it is a bit cartoony but I think it works for the theme.

 

• The second source of inspiration came from Disney’s Magic Highway stills

I love the minimalism of the design. Also the cell shading is fantastic and I want to incorporate that in some how, although I’m a bit lost on what to do for that.

 

• Lastly the third source of inspiration came from the TV show Futurama, a cartoon, not for kids though, about Fry who freezes himself until the year 3000 and his adventures with his friends and co-workers.

I can’t seem to find the screen cap in question, but the group goes to a “retro” club where rings are retro. I think it was sort of mocking the Jetson’s because it is sort of a retro look today, and what the people in 3000 would consider retro if the rings were popular in the 2900’s. I guess that is why I’m using rings and curves in my designs instead of a more angular look.

As for the colors Im using so far, are red, white, and silver. I might add another color to bring it out of candy-cane land, but I don’t know which one to use.

While I only have the structure done, I will be adding decorations in a few days, all custom to the space. I think that I will be using reflexive architecture for the decor and then I’m doing a giant custom lamp that I think will look good in the space. Although I’m going to have to buy the furniture because I don’t have the skills to build curvy furniture. I will post some pictures when I get the chance, so until then.
