I got my last haircut at a sushi-bar!

Where? Dark Wishes Playground

See you there!

Motörhead Second Life Shirt

The Motörhead Second Life shirt freebie is now available at the Marketplace. I hope you enjoy it! Live wild and loud and don't suffer fools!

Farewell Lemmy!

Sad news about Lemmy's death. News like that always come too early and he was for certain somebody you would think would live forever. If you ask me, he certainly should have.

Anyway, lets celebrate his legacy and his life! He certainly won't have liked seeing everyone mourning and being upset!

I made a Motörhead bandshirt a while ago (with the cool full-perm mesh T-Shirt by Kat Fetisov) and I find this is a good moment to share it. The T-Shirt is only available for ladies (sorry guys!) and comes in standard-sizing XXS-L, so one of them should fit you!

The T-Shirt is right now available as Drow Science group gift and I will put it on the Marketplace too very soon (as soon as LL fixes it) - of course as freebie. I hope you enjoy it and show off your good taste for music!

New Impressions from Never Drift & Opening Party Date!

The Professor is almost finished with building on his Sim. If that's not a good reason for some more pictures, I don't know a better one!

The Sim is called Never Drift, because it hopefully never drifts away!

The islands seen from below...

...from the famous Nautilus!

Looking like The Velvet Underground going steampunk: your Drow-Blogger and Prof. Wickentower.

The opening party will be on Sunday, June 14 at 12 PM SLT, featuring the fantastic jazz-singer and overall great chap Clyde Barrow! I will keep you up-to-date with further info.

Dark Fairy Tales: Some Impressions of the Rebuild Dark Wishes - Part 2

I just can't get enough of Dark Wishes! This time I selected a more gloomy sky-setting, which worked out even better than I did expect. The lighting of the place is just fantastic and a so very fitting to the Halloween-mood I'm into. I had so many magic moments!

Speaking of Halloween. Dark Wishes will have its annual Halloween Costume-Party this weekend!

When? Saturday 25 Oct, 1 PM SLT

Where? Dark Wishes BDSM Playground

Who? DJ Arch Darwin and the usual lunatics like Talia, me and Emma!

See you there. Will be great fun!

New Products And Prometheus-Status Update

Drow-DJ!

Since the Prometheus-mesh is now finished and we are working on the last few bits (real-life did slow scripting progress down, but no worries, we are working on it!) I have now some time trying to catch up with my to-do list - yes its long!

One of the things I wanted to finish quite a while ago is a improved version of my Steampunk Monoplane:

Steampunk Mesh Monoplane

And update my Da Vinci Airscrew Helicopter:

Da Vinci Airscrew Helicopter

One thing I am especially proud of is the Steampunk DJ Station - completely new designed from scratch:

Steampunk DJ Station

Dancing on the thin wire between madness and style - steampunk audio!

All new releases feature materials-effects using the advanced lighting model. It is really amazing how realistic they look now!
A Dieselpunk Variant of the DJ Station is also in the making. Despite being released as stand-alone products they will be also part of the new rezzing system of the Prometheus-Class.


As usual all these items are available on the Marketplace and soon inworld too!

Nance Brody Live - Saturday 17 At Shoregate!

Nance Brody is one of the most distinctive and charming voices of SL. Together with her romantic yet seductive songs she makes her concerts an experience you want to have again and again :-)


Coming Saturday, 3 PM (midnight CET) she will play at the Disaster Area Bar & Grill at Shoregate - something you definitely shouldn't miss!

The Disaster Area Bar is outside of the town of Shoregate, which is a little zombie-infested (just a little really!). To provide you a safe journey - or say to at least get you to the show alive - we will organize a taxi service from the TP point to the concert!

Here the facts in short:

Who? Nance Brody (click for a preview)
When? Saturday 17, 3 PM SLT
Where? Disaster Area Bar and Grill, Shoregate

Party Tomorrow At Darkgate!

The Darkgate opens again tomorrow! DJ Darwin will play again a fine rock and metal selection! There will also be a contest for the best rock outfit! And of course some people might turn topless again ;-)

Where: Darkgate Rock/Metal/BDSM Club

When: Saturday, March 1st, 1 PM SLT (10 PM CET, 9 PM GMT)

Why: Becuase nowhere in SL will be more fun and better music!

See you there!

Factsheet-Poster-Diagram-And-New-Releases-Time!

Airship Factsheet: Something to learn by heart and pin it over your bed!

Instead of making a long list of features and design-details of the soon-released Airship Daedalus, I found it a much nicer way to provide you with a kind of poster-something, telling you the same in a more entertaining way - enjoy!

And because change is good I was making a few other things too. You might sense a slight wasteland-bias here:

Wastelands Floor Clock: Oh, its already past apocalypse!

It flies nicer than it looks: Wastelands 2-Seater Biplane.

Emma designed these lovely amps - she is quite a rock chick! :-)

Wastelands Mesh Guitar Amps: They might have seen a tour or two already - and the occasional nuclear attack of course!

Steampunk Mesh Guitar Amps: Steam up your sound!

My personal favorite: Mesh Guitar Amps in classy red leather :-)

As usual you can find these items at the Drow Science Store on the Marketplace!

Heaven And Hell - Welcome To The Dark Gate!

A few weeks ago, Cyhtleen came up with the idea for a music club, merging metal (the music genre) and BDSM (btw a quite familiar concept).

If you ask me cages, st. andrew's crosses, pillories, leather and powerful guitar riffs just suit perfectly together and when seeing the club taking shape (and the dungeon underneath getting filled with equipment) I knew this is going to be something really cool.

Here are a few impressions from Sunday's party. More (both parties and pictures) are going to follow:

Despite the mist on the ground it was pretty hot on the dancefloor ;-)

Pretty hot!

Mr. Ebbage proudly adding some 1940's chic - or was he just too lazy to change?

Thats the advantage of being friends with the venue-owner: no dresscode :D

A decent degree of nudity is encouraged though.

Oio "volunteering" as pole-dancer.

And handcuff-model.

Sooner or later I end up on the stage too. Really volunteering though ;-) Oh, and Zen is showing serious side-effects of metal listening.

The Dark Gate has events on a pretty regular base. Feel free to come by - if you dare. To stay informed about the essential question of who will play when - join the Group :-)

And here is your ticket: Dark Gate - BDSM + Metal Club

The Femdom Hunt Starts Today!

Our friends at Z&A Productions have done a great job organizing the 4th Femdom Hunt. As every year the top fetish stores and locations in SL take part in the hunt. I am proud that my partner Emma is participating with her Sunshine Technology Store at Lady Walworth estate this year too!

I won't you tell what the gift is exactly - just so much: it is inspired by the intro scene of a well-known fetish movie. And because I am such a nice person I even give you the hint how to find it:

"Where the 'ell could it be?"


There will be also a femdom-themed party today at 4:15 PM SLT at Z&A - I'm much looking forward it :-)

Sometimes Harsh Contrasts Make the Most Interesting Flavours

We thought - well maybe hoped - it might never happen, But it did. I stand in awe and wonder before it: Steampunk Rap!

Its Steampunk, its nuts - of course I like it! Thanks for sharing, Oio ;-)


Edit:

Here is some more. Too good to not share it!

Oktoberfest is coming closer!

Yes, thats what they were made for ;-)

Well, actually this is my dress for last nights "national/regional stereotypes" dance at Z&A. Interesting what people came up with - and very funny. Take a look!

A special Thanks to Vila, Eve and Antony for always throwing a great party :-)

100% Radiation-Proof - The Post-Apocalyptic Gramophone!

I like wandering through the Fallout-inspired Wastelands lots (note to myself: make a photo series about them!). Even though I'm not really participating in the RP there, its just a pure joy to discover all the funny weirdness people put together there. As anarchic it looks, as friendly it is and I hope the Wastelanders will enjoy this little gadget I made in dedication of the genre of post-apocalyptic RP ;-)

The Wastelands Gramophone!

Apart from its unique run-down look with custom-made textures it offers the same features as its shiny steampunky relatives with radio-tuner, access levels and animations.

You can get it at the usual dealers :-)

Gramophone-Update: More Variants Released!

During the process of defining the appearance of the Gramophone I found that quite a few variants besides the standard Brass-version look actually too good to hide them in my inventory. Here is the current selection - oh and there may be some more planned :-)

Dark elegance: Gothic Silver.

A bit more vivid: Red and Gold.

In case the Brass-version is too bright for your taste - the Dark-variant!

The Gold-Variant comes with classy and visually very interesting gold-paneling.

While meshing I found also time to do some recording ;-)
