Nancee Sinatra's Contributions to Second Life - May the Good that People Do Live After Them.

Emotionally, this blog is one that was difficult for me to write.
It is about a friendship that had passed, and centered 
upon the nature of why it ended so inexplicably. 

Succinctly, it flopped on the merits of honesty and true friendship. 

Through the act of forgiveness, I have since moved on.

For some people, they can easily forgive others, but for many people, 

forgiveness takes significant struggle. The process of healing takes time.

Once you exercise forgiveness in your life, it means freedom to your soul -
enriching and making you a better person.  

It takes the cancer of anger out of your bones – enabling you 

to grow as a person and get better at being one.

That said, I have forgiven nancee for banning me as a result of my editorial blog. 

 In return, I hope that she can learn to forgive others who share different viewpoints
with an innate understanding that we can agree to disagree without reprisal. 

I wish that others would learn how to forgive so they can heal as well.  I was
aggrieved for writing what many others in SL have known for quite some time.

With that behind us, I want to publicly and sincerely thank nanceee for all of her

years of dedication and contribution in making Frank’s Jazz, Frank’s Elite and
Bogart’s Jazz such wonderful venues for all of us to come enjoy and dream. 

I was very happy to learn that she has found love’s true meaning and the
joy in real life which she so deserves.  I hold no malice towards her -
only a sincere thanks for her outstanding contributions to Second Life and
the opportunity she gave me to grow in maturity as a writer. 

Hopelessly In Love - A poem by Keith Hank

As I reflect upon the many memories of the original Frank’s Jazz,  I also want
to thank the many people who also unselfishly contributed to its success.

Their efforts, passions and devotion all brought value to all of us.
 These great memories and contributions will forever remain close to my heart.

All good things eventually come to an end. The original Frank’s Jazz
is one of those... and may it rest in peace.

Nancee’s departure brought about a second Frank’s Jazz, filling
the void created by the absence of the original.

Its rebirth underscores the importance of maintaining the legacy.
It also obligates those who resurrected it to do the right thing and forgive.

Forgiveness involves the considerate decision to face what has
happened and deal with it in a way that’s healthy for all – ceasing
to obsess over the hurt in order to move on with our lives.

Swank Events Jan. '20 Introduces GGVG Fashion's looped lace NELLY GOWN - Just like our need for chocolate, this gown will have your man craving for sex.

I’ve been in fashion here in Second Life for over 7 years now. 

My SL modeling career first started with Classic With Style and then has 

blossomed since - actively involved in fashion print, runway modeling 

and blog reviews for hundreds of designers and vendors ever since.

Through this journey, I found that it is important to recognize your own true
personal style and synthesize that into your fashion statements.

Everything you do must be with discerning good taste – never veering 

away from the passion and energy that runs deep in your psyche. 

With that said, I believe that your selections on evening gowns should be 

exciting - selections that makes you feel sexy and to have fun in. 

This GGVG Fashion looped lace NELLY GOWN is one such dress. 

It evokes smiles, excitement and enjoyment. 

I’ve been seeing a lot of dresses which have long sleeves, interesting 

necklines, and other styles with grand gestures. This evening gown 

however is elegantly simple and stunningly provocative. 

I think this GGVG Fashion looped lace NELLY GOWN possesses a brilliant look. 

It is perfect as it can be - transforming your look into a sensuous statement 

with its body hugging, single shoulder strap and high slit open side silhouette. 

The pearl hip chain is a beautiful yet sensual touch. 

It is hard to overestimate the way body chemistry directs one’s mind and its 

psychological effect wearing this very sexual statement. 

Just like our need for chocolate, this gown will have your man craving for sex. 

This gown’s exquisite appearance enhances your sexuality. 

It infuses a man’s intimate desire for you by being 

tantalized by the fantasy of a sexual reward.

Take for the example Moondance Boutique’s Kardia necklace, earrings, ring

a woman’s best friend regardless of which world we explore.

in a quality lifestyle here, which depicts affluent wealth, in a discriminating 

manner and with good taste. 

This Kardia necklace, earrings and bracelet collection defines discerning good taste.

  

Moondance Boutique Jewelry also makes accessorizing your ensemble easy with
refined grace, polish, richness of design and elegant precision.

Introducing MON JOLI CADEAU - an enchanting & magical place for lovers

Paris is referred to as the city of love and romance. 

Mon Joli Cadeau under a Winter's Gaze

Strolling through Mon Joli Cadeau, you will come to realize just 

how well its splendid design captures the romanticism and magic of this city. 

Influenced by the grand Georges Haussman-designed center of Paris and 

the cobbled streets reminiscent of Montmartre and the Marais, it serves as a
charming reminder of French romanticism and their many contributions to the arts. 

Leading your eyes from discovery to surprise, there’s a sense of amazement
and awe around each corner. It’s no wonder that the Mon Joli Cadeau is 

one of the most beautiful places in all of Second Life.

4K Mon Joli Cadeau Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZEXXXaGBfGo

It is without any doubt an enchanting place for lovers. 

The setting of this destination gem features 14 artists on exhibit and four stores 

complemented by Impressionistic paintings, Art Nouveau art and poster work - 

all on beautiful display within the context of classic French Renaissance 

and Industrial Revolution architecture.

Dreamer's Flowers by Jolie Parfort. Jolie's impressionistic studio is one you must see!

The dance ballroom is stunning. Its design is reminiscent of the 1900 Paris 

World Fair Exposition's Grand Palais which heralded in an era of new 

architectural and technological innovations. 

 

During this period, structural steel replaced the use of iron. 

This was significantly important because it was a better material to use - 

making it ideal for clear spans and glass roofs for natural daylighting purposes. 

With its composition of structural steel, wood and glass,
the Eiffel Tower not only became an icon
for France but for industry itself – celebrating a new age 

in materials, design and construction methods.

To add to the charm and magic of Mon Joli Cadeau, the Eiffel Tower
by Gustave Eiffel is prominently displayed as a part of its architecture.

Mon Joli Cadeau is truly a pretty gift to us all in Second Life.

Thank you Avalon Bouvier and Yoh Boa for making this dream come true!
