A List - The re-launch Party

On Saturday 23rd October 2010 , Croft Atolia from The A-List Club officially opened the newly refurbished club and showed off their new red & black theming inside along with a new upstairs gallery and new logo with a massive re-launch party! Doors opened at 1pm SL/9pm UK to relaunch as London's premier oldies venue.

The contest was "One Year In One Night". Guests were invited to wear outfits from their favourite party from any time in the year. Some wore Christmas. Some wore Halloween and also one or two Easter outfits.

The Prize was L$250, split between first, second, and third place. This was won by Mookychick Gloom who took the 1st place. 2nd place was won by Chihiro Ruby while sara0long Baxton claimed the 3rd spot.

Dj Adrienne (Adrienne Belvedere) was there playing all kinds of music from 60's right up until the end of the 90's, and donna Redrose & Leila Roi were there to host the evening.

The new style theming and colours and logo was very well recieved and the music went down well with all who were present, some even making requests to the dj for a particular track they liked.

The A-List has a loyal fanbase, and welcomes new patrons to the club, be they one off or if they enjoy their experience and return for more again. It has a friendly easy going atmosphere and everyone always enjoys a good banter as a big group.

There are no strangers here, only friends which you never knew you had.

London prepares for a massive party!!

VLFW - Masquerade Ball

After much anticipation, planning and hard work, Virtual London Fashion Week kicked off Sunday October 10th with a Masked Ball. I arrived to find the final touches been made, the street having been turned into a beautiful dance floor with a shiny limo parked outside the entrance to the fashion displays and the scene transformed into something out of a fantasy world with trees that sparkled with blue, white and pink lights. DJ Thom Macbain had got the music started and the patrons started arriving one by one, each dressed more fabulously than the last in flowing gowns, beautiful suits and most, their faces covered with feathers and gorgeous masks. The atmosphere was electric and one could feel the excitement of not only the dance but of all that was being promised throughout the coming week’s events as VLFW officially kicked off.

During the course of the Ball, Shaza Denver and Kat Svenska handed out amazing prizes as they asked various trivia questions to all those present and I was amazed at the value of the gifts been handed out, including some designs by the featured designers to the value of 1000L$. I did try to win one when I realised I could play along (I had been hosting) but someone beat me to it…or I may have got the answer wrong. I’m sure it was the former!

The DJ played popular music and the tips were flying around and I, as host, found myself incredibly busy welcoming people as they came streaming into Kensington non-stop, asking about the competition and the weeks events details.

Rendezvous club hosted the ‘Best in Costume’ competition, which they drew more than once and there were some who, not only winning awesome trivia prizes, also walked away with a little extra cash.

At the end of my shift, Fibi Felisimo took over as host and unfortunately I had to leave due to another commitment, but even then, there was still patrons arriving and the Masked Ball was still in full swing.

VLFW will continue until October 16th with many Designers having their creations on display. Please pop over if you haven’t already and take a look at what is on show.

FOTE10 in London

On October 1, 2010, virtual London played host to the FOTE 10 conference, mirroring the conference taking place in real life London. The event came complete with a recreation of Senate House, where the conference was held, and a live stream of the event. The virtual London conference provided an additional option for attending the conference for those facing travel and other constraints. Those who attended in virtual London were provided with the full conference experience within Second Life, including the ability to interact with the live conference.

Those of us who have been around Second Life and virtual London for any length of time know that this is so much more than a “game.” Although we enter Second Life as virtual representations, Second Life provides unparalleled opportunities to interact with real people from around the world; people we might never have the opportunity to meet or interact with in the real world. Partnerships between Virtually Linked and real world events and business (like the FOTE 10 Conference and Workzmarter) provide opportunity to use technology to bring the world just a little closer together.

Masked Ball to open London Fashion Week

The first night of VLFW kicks off with a huge masked ball. The event will be a huge street party incorporating The Kensington, the Expo Center and The Rendezvous Club located across the street from the Kensington venue.
