BREAKING NEWS: Chalice Found Squatting In New Dutchie Bed.

Before I even start with this post, here is the LM to Dutchie Furniture where you can buy Froukje Hoorenbeek's new release Adult Bed.

HERE

OK where to start? Froukje Hoorenbeek is just amazing. She has literally mastered SL building and creating, showing us that RL designs can certainly translate into our second lives to provide us with comfort, beauty and practicality. Froukje has improved on this bed so remarkably that I simply don't think SL would be worth living without it.

It is your one 'drop' shop for anything you would need to do in bed and then some. Whether you're solo like me, have lots of mates around for pajama parties or are a sex fueled couple, this bed will serve it up to you and then make itself after-wards. Oh Froukje, how did you do it?

For example, click on the bed to invoke the menu. In that menu you can opt for SOLO, FRIENDS, CUDDLES, KISSES, FOEEPLAY, SEX, MORE SEX, A BIT MORE and AFTERWARDS. Each option has a choice of 9 poses some complete with accessories. That is 81 different ways to enjoy the bed guys...freaking 81.

Chalice readily admits she is a SL virgin with an electric toothbrush so she only drove it in SOLO but you wait until you test drive it. You'll be busy for days. Available in Green, Black and Salmon, this bed is the Rolls Royce. NO, a custom make Rolls Royce no less and will give you hours of fun.

Come visit Chalice in bed...

Damn...it even has tissues and chocolates for when you dump his sorry ass to the kerb.  Froukje you're a genius.

Chalice Doesn't Live Here Anymore & It's Not So Bad

Ok, ok I'm not leaving SL.  I've moved though and it's fabulous.  I had been getting itchy feet for a while and felt that I needed a change of scenery.  My darling friend Vixie met up with me yesterday when she asked me to TP here.  I'd spent quite a bit of time going through search in SL looking for builders when I happened upon a business called 'NotSoBad'.

When Vix TP'd to me I had no idea where I was.  Together we went into the store that sells pre-fab homes and TP'd to one in their series called 'Dubai'.  To say it was love at first sight is an understatement.  We were both so impressed with the details, texturing and overall build.  I'd decided that if I was going to purchase the Dubai, I'd get the furnished version as I felt it would be rather hard to furnish because of the architectural style of the property.  This of course made it quite prim heavy and far to big for my existing land.  I undertook a land search and in no time at all grabbed myself 1406 prims on 6144sq m of beach land.   The Feng Shui felt good and I couldn't resist buying the land and the house.

I have spent quite a few hours putting it all together and I hope you don't mind if I share some exterior pics with you all.  If you are looking for that something special, look no further than NotSoBad.  Both their pre-fab houses and furniture are luxurious and extremely well constructed.

And after a hard two days work, I relax with a cocktail and magazines.

Chalice In Wonderland: Buy A Lifestyle At The Loft

This is the least I can do for someone I have respected as a designer since I began furnishing my houses quite some time ago.  Colleen Desmoulins, the creative force behind The Loft has provided SL residents with a stylish lifestyle akin to some of the upmarket furniture design stores in RL.

New at The Loft are two pieces that Colleen says will provide residents with the ability to mix 'n' match their furniture creating their own distinctive look.  I have been a Loft devotee for ages and what always strikes me, is the attention to detail and clever selection of textures that work together to create life-like furniture pieces that I would have in my own RL home.

Introducing:

The Mayer Chaise


"Is new and improved with lot's of colors to chose from.  It comes with couples and singles animations and texture changeable blankets and pillows". - Colleen Desmoulins

The Krissy Shelves:

"These adorable shelves would make a great addition to anyroom .  It comes decorated with everything shown.  The Picture frame is not attached which makes adding your own picture a cinch".  - Colleen Desmoulins

These pictures are taken in my house so I can testify that both are awesome.  The Mayer Chaise is in my bathroom and is a perfect platform to kick back and rest after a long day.  The Krissy Shelves I just purchased and the texture change curtain at the bottom is such a great idea.  BTW - that's me in the frame.  Just throw a photo in the content tab of the frame and voila.  You've personalized your home.

Thank you Colleen.  SL decorators owe you a snug hug.

 

Chalice In Wonderland: I Can't Live Without My.........

HOUSE

It is just amazing what can be produced with 1225 prims.  I brought my 4096sqm piece of  land from Rich Grainger from Virtual World and couldn't be happier with the service.  Barely an uninvited visitor, no grief, no pain in the neck builds...to me it's total heaven.  Creating my environment was the most fun I've ever had in SL for a non-builder/designer/artist and I wore out the TP service during the week or two it took me to buy, set up and furnish the house.

I chose a Scarlett Creative home called "Let Me Hang Art 2009" and I adore it.  Having lived briefly in a Dolphin Designs house, I really wanted one of those but it was too prim heavy for my land.  Whilst I loved my Dolphin House to bits, this Scarlett house is more my style and is very, very livable.  By that I mean it's roomy and you can move around so easily not getting stuck with camera limitations. 

My land allows me 1225 prims and I'm so proud of the fact that I was able to incorporate the house, landscaping, sea features and furniture in what I initially thought was a meager amount.  I have two floors of house full of lovely things I thoroughly enjoyed buying and a set up I'm very comfortable with.  When I think I started off renting a room with 50 prims on a womens only island then moved up in the world to 100 prims renting a beach house, there is a vast difference between renting an apartment and having all the permissions inherent in  having your own land.  It just creates another dimension to SL that I had never enjoyed before.

Here is the ground floor only of my little piece of SL that is full of wonderful things I have gathered from many, many SL designers.  Welcome to Chal's Place.

 

I'll show you upstairs next time.  Need to tidy up the bedroom first.
