How I ever managed to miss this little gem in all of my shopping on Second Life, I will never know. Too much time trying to buy clothing perhaps? Maybe. But my GOD, do I need to open my eyes more often… because this only serves to prove the point that you really never do know what’s out there. I realize that everything I am about to write about has been out for ohhhh… nearly a year now, I’d imagine. But with the holidays coming up, and everything in this shop being just so UNBELIEVABLY beautiful… I simply have to write about it. I feel it is my civic duty to bring your eyes the joy of seeing these objects (again).
Serendipity Studios (slurl), in addition to being host to an absolutely *STUNNING* opera hall (and oh my god, can we PLEASE get a little Phantom going on in here?!?! I think I would just die), is also privy to a whole ton of perfectly detailed and intricately beautiful pieces, from pianos to candles to jewelry.
We’ll start with the biggest first, which I think, is always a good place to start. Screw all those people that say you can’t start at the top, right? Right. So let’s proceed. The “New Christmas Piano” is a perfectly detailed Christmas Baby Grand Piano. Purchasing the gift box it is enclosed in will run you a mere $775L. For that price you get the piano, candelabras, and 18 pieces of Christmas music as well as the very first Hannukah score! The sheet music alone is worth $950L. That, in my opinion, makes this purchase a steal. Toss in the fact that it is just GORGEOUS (I mean LOOK AT IT!), and you really just can’t go wrong here. I would buy it for the candelabras ALONE.
And speaking of candles… they are on sale! *drool*… God knows I love me some candles, and these just can’t be beat. They are absolutely stunning and I’m sure would make an incredible addition to even the most over-blinged Second Life home. You can never have too many candles, I always like to say. Let there be light! Marked down to $50L each from $125L, really… these are a steal. And worth every single penny. The candles are even color changeable. Un…freaking…real. This is just so exciting to me, I could stop right here, and be completely happy with this post. But no… I will go on. Because there is still so much to rave about.
Among it’s other Christmas items, Serendipity also offers a fascinating collection of delicate, beautifully textured glass Christmas ornaments. From the object’s advertisement board: “Five delicate art glass ornaments donning a rich, heritage museum tapestry from “The Lady of the Unicorn” series. Each ornament is suspended on a silk ribbon with a rich green and red plaid bow. Emerald and Citrine presentation case with one inside. Lid opens & closes, and “Smart Storage” feature lets you drag inventory in to store.” This beautiful creation (and the pictures, trust me, do not do it justice), can be yours for only $200L. I just love beautiful little boxes of beautiful little things. Especially when I can store more of my own beautiful little things inside!
These next beauties I am about to write about, I actually found to be the most stunning items in the store. They are absolutely EXQUISITE Victrola record players, with painstakingly hand painted textures to boot! Apparently they are filled with lovely old Victrola tunes from the early 1900s, and come in three different detail textures. I am absolutely stunned at the sheer detail on these Victrolas. I do believe they’re some of the most beautiful work I’ve ever seen in Second Life, and I would be proud to display one in my SL home. Hell, I’d be proud to display one of these babies in my REAL life home!
Moving out and on to jewelry in Serendipity, there is a simply GORGEOUS array to choose from, all perfectly detailed and textured. Everything from earrings to bracelets, to rings to strings of pearls (Kimberly, I DO believe I’ve even seen you wearing these!). Jewelry ranges in price from $175 to $375. Could you just imagine walking into your next formal party wearing those pearls? And those INCREDIBLY emerald earrings? The Lady in Red had better watch out!
*sighs*… My god, do I love Second Life and the beauty its users create! Once again, that’s Serendipity Studios (slurl)… check it out if you haven’t!!! Or… if you’re just late to the game. Like me. *grumblebutt*
Okay, let me start this post off by saying… there are no boobies.
But it got your attention, didn’t it?
Welcome to the opening day of Rykerized — a blog that will inevitably be used to vent, rant, rave, and rip apart all things Second Life. I’m sure the majority of it will be raving… but sometimes you just need a good “rant”, know what I mean? Of course you do. We’ve all seen those god damn blingtards, and we’ve all gone through phases of wanting to bash them in the head for offending our delicate optical senses. Don’t lie. You know you have.
So, my first post today will be short and sweet — a simple introduction to the mind I hope to show you. This blog will, at times, be complex and thought provoking. At other times, I’m sure it will be immature and petty. But regardless of what you read here, don’t feel obligated to rely on my opinion… I fully encourage everyone to venture out and experience all of the greatness and wonder that is Second Life for yourself. I am only the messenger. And I don’t want you to kill me.
I will leave you with the above post for right now (because I’m sitting in an airport, and my flight is about to start boarding! Damn RL), but rest assured that there will be many, many posts to come on many, many aspects of the Second Life realm… from fashion to folly, I will be here, and I will have plenty…. PLENTY… to say.
Welcome… to Rykerized.
PS: This design isn’t actually going to stay here… but I had to put SOMETHING up. So if you come back in about a week, and see something completely different… don’t be shocked!
