22769 ~ [bauwerk] & &Percent

This month the theme for The Challenge is “From Your Country” and it has spawned some really fun new stuff! I am showing off a couple of different designers here and stay tuned for more.

Today I am highlighting the beer garden from 22769 ~ [bauwerk] and the bourbon barrel table set from %Percent. The beer garden, which represents Paco Pooley’s home of Germany comes complete and is loaded with details. From the weathered containers that form the service area to the benches and tables, the “PacoCola” drink cooler and menu it is perfect for setting up for a casual get together with friends. There is even a coffee maker for those who might have imbibed a bit much and need to sober up a bit before venturing home 😉

1 Bourbon Table Set &Percent

Plato Novo has brought a touch of her old Kentucky home from the United States in the form of the bourbon table set. She has created the stools and table from the parts of a bourbon barrel and even developed her own brands of bourbon as decorative and useful props! In addition to the bottles and drinks that decorate the table, you can receive a menu of drinks and props to enhance your experience. It is not just bourbon-inspired cocktails – you can also choose to have a cigar or cigarette to go along with your aperitif. Since I set this up in an outdoor venue, you are allowed 😉

The beer garden is sold as a complete set and you can purchase the bourbon table set or the stools separately. Each stool is different, so you can mix and match to your heart’s content.

All that is missing is the scotch, or we’d have a perfect setup for a George Thorogood classic!

Hello SoCal, Goodbye .::Vivid::.

1 Vivid Closing Sale

I really wanted to be one of the first people who showed photos of this gorgeous sim, SoCal, but I got stuck in the jumping castle and a lot of people have beaten me to it. I’m not going to worry about it though – it is a fun sim that does catch the vibe of Southern California. I lived there for almost a year and while it wasn’t the best year of my life and I would never move back again, it is a great place to visit.

Now I can do it from the comfort of my desk chair instead of traveling 13 hours to get there 😉

It has it all…gacha stalls and stores (still filling up), a bands shell, a ferris wheel and yes, a jumping castle, cliffs, beach and of course, a pier. It was rather busy while I was there with people hanging out on the beach and checking out the gacha goodies. It is a fun sim and I have no doubt it will continue to be a destination for photographers.

I am wearing an outfit from .::Vivid::., which is sadly going out of business on March 2. Everything in the store will be at least half price – with some items as low as 25L. It is a great time to go and stock up on casual clothes (a lot of them with colour-change HUDs), makeup, Slink nail appliers and shapes. I want to thank Honey Bernandes, the designer, for allowing me to blog for her over the past several months. Some of my most fun-loving posts have been shot while wearing her clothes (cleaning house, fighting off zombies, trying to get to the North Pole).

Honey will keep her Marketplace store, so she is not disappearing from the grid completely. I wish her the best and hope that things settle down in real life that she might be able to come back from time to time with something new to delight us!
