The Tears of a Clown

1 Tears of a Clown_004

Now there’s some sad things known to man
But ain’t too much sadder than
the tears of a clown
When there’s no one around, oh yeah

Smokey Robinson – “The Tears Of A Clown”

Smokey sang about the loss of a love in this song, but these particular lyrics – and the clown’s tears – can apply equally to animals that are lost, abandoned or abused. In the United States, the ASPCA is the group that is tasked with the humane treatment and prevention of cruelty of animals. To benefit this organisation, Seraphim has put together a massive event that will run from November 6-26. Over 100 designers will come together with circus-themed items with donations going to the ASPCA.

You can check out the Cirque de Serpahim blog or Flickr page for a sneak-preview of some of the items that will be available. SLurls to the two (yes, two!) sims will be published there when the event opens and I’ll be adding them into my update posts on and after November 6.

Start saving your pennies for this event; you don’t want to be the one to make the clown cry.

A new round of The Challenge has begun with this month’s theme of Mediterranean. There are several lovely new offerings, so make sure you head to the creator’s mainstores to take advantage of this classic style.

My favourite this time around has to be the Tuscan Patio by [hate this:home]. The warm colours are the perfect background for the detailed textures and the crackling fire. There are versions with and without the drapes, but I love the mystery they give this cozy build.

Check out The Challenge Blog for all of the goodies this month and find your own Mediterranean favourite.
