An Action Shot!

Jesse Thompson kindly took a short video of us dancing the Samba, and made an animated GIF of it.  This is us dancing at the brand-new island called The Landing, where new avatars will land up as a sort of central gathering area.  With the explosion of new islands I think this is a good idea.

Red Team or Blue Team?

Cloud Party has released another fun game, this one is called Rad Rocket, where you are a member of one team (red or blue) shooting blaster guns at the opposing team, while running around a space station.  Capture the central portal for your team.  Get killed and you respawn back at your headquarters for another fight.

Oh and did I mention, the space station also shoots at you as you fly to it?  Much fun, try it out!

Find thirteen little lava lamps and you will be the proud owner of a 1960's house with landscaping.



Estelle Parnall, Please Come Back

Being on the lookout for fashion, I was overjoyed when Estelle Parnall joined Cloud Party.  I was very familiar with her work in Blue Mars, where she designed numerous beautiful and stylish outfits.

Estelle has an island in Cloud Party, and even has a few items set for sale.  But it looks as though she has not visited for a while.  Location: https://www.cloudparty.com/loc/2306/26.6,20.0,0.9,-0.6

Estelle, come back!  You are one designer I can't let go!



Another In-World Furniture Store: [MUMFUZZ]

[MUMFUZZ] is the name of the store that I was trying to remember.  It is another great place to buy home furnishings.  The store is located in the Charming Ville neighbourhood, the location is:

Shopping for Home Furnishings?

As promised, here are a couple of places which sell home furnishings in-world:

A Moore Designs, on Windy Range



Chic Buildings, a new store with great furnishings!


If you come across other places please let me know and I will post to the blog about them.  I know there's at least one other furniture store whose name escapes me, and I cannot find!  Very irritating.  

I'd like to be under the sea...

New Cloud Party users are bringing so much creativity to this new land!

Tathi Luar writes about her build, Beatles Songs 3D:

I ve been building in Secon Life for a few years but Im still a noob in mesh ... SO I decided to use things that I really love to inspire and help me to learn 3d modeling and also explore Cloud Party! Rhe Beatles Songs are one of my favorite things so this is what Ive done so far :-) I intend to add more in time if my Real Life permitts Hope you enjoy it
It is incredible, even in its unfinished state!  Thank you Tathi!

In-World Shopping Experiences

You are not limited to the online Market for your shopping.  Several people have set up in-world shopping centres.  Here are just three of my favourites, in no particular order:

1. Henimations - the place to go to get your animations and animation overrides (AOs).
https://www.cloudparty.com/loc/2194/-18.6,-19.9,9.2,-0.7?maximized=1


2. Marquis Gallery and Club: soothing music and bubbles as you shop.
https://www.cloudparty.com/loc/2627/-121.9,-8.0,2.8,-2.9?maximized=1


3. M&M Creations: sells both men and women's clothing.  Great selection!
https://www.cloudparty.com/loc/2400/5.3,-4.8,-47.7,-2.4?maximized=1


And there are so many places to shop for home furnishings that I will do them as a separate post, later.
