Shakin' up a content cocktail

Bonsoir, cherie! The hallmark of SL will always be the bottom-up content creation of its citizens, cher. Now that the blurry haze of the new resident daze has passed, and now that my home in Wellsian is truly settled, I'm beginning to feel the duties required of good citizens press on my mind. How will I add to this mosaic of personal expression? And most pressing, what will I do with the rickety space in this gorgeous new ville that has become such a welcoming nest for my bad French and trashy-waitress pet names (Suga', cher, hon, babe, doll...) It was a white-knuckle wait while Mama Cre finished up the last details of the New Toulouse sim this week, so I found myself taking the time to explore the bastions of content in an attempt to refine the rough drafts of my own new projects.
Almost immediately after I started brainstorming, frantic group chat IMs were dispatched to announce AM Radio's Far North sim was about to go out in a blaze of glory. With one hour to spare, Kaye Robbiani and sister Scotti Lyle (the newest grande dames of Morgaine), and the rosebud-cheeked Eleanor Anderton made our way to the sim to gawk. Monsier Radio's name is spoken with a sacred cadence, having become the Patron Saint of All That is Visually Possible, and this exposition was a miracle of SL-Earth. Although the sim now remains only in memory and photo, he did provide several souvenirs, including a photobooth recreation of David's "The Death of Marat".
Mr. Hassanov then sent a cryptic message that I should join him in Kittiwickshire. Once I dropped in, I found him staring slack-jawed at this amazing monument to Clockwork. The back end of the statue reveals the military aspirations of bird-kind.

Iason and I have become twin brainchildren over the past few months, and he's proven to be invaluable as a sounding board for every crazy new idea that wiggles it's way into my brain. After touring 'Louse with him again, the brainstorm collected into discrete puddles. That promising little shanty, La Baraque Bleue, is going to be a fine musee. First the Josephine Baker Revue, then the Art of Voodoo, Degas in New Orleans, and maybe a showing of John Droisneau. It's amazing how once you commit, cher, the ideas just don't stop comin'.
