Images from OpenSim Shengri La regions Belle & Beaux

Just a few images from the Fashion Research Institute’s Shengri La regions in Open Sim.  Primarily shown are Belle and Beaux, with some glimpses of Bliss and Liberty. 

Although the OpenSim Shengri La is largely closed to outside access, we have had one or two collaborators visit already. We look forward to opening a region to which we can allow greater access, once we have completed development of the sims.

Ravin’ in Second Life™ Shengri La Hope

Universal Rave in Shengri La Hope

Over the American Labor Day weekend, we threw one of our raves for our collaborators and friends in our SecondLife™ Shengri La Hope sim.  As usual attendees went all out and we had guests in all sorts of great outfits.  By the end of the event, we also had a plethora of great particle effects, including a rainbow that someone popped out. 

The set of planets and a  landing pad aptly fit the mood of the trance spun by DJane Qee Nishi, who was resplendent in a set of space armor.  Guests all had a great time and it made a nice way to round out the end of summer.  As usual, we took way more pictures than we could actually post, so here are some visual highlights.

Our next Rave will also be held in one of the Shengri La sims, with a theme of Piracy on the Shengri La Seas.  Think Mers and Pirates and Sailors on a Dead Man’s Chest….
