Love & Harmony Jazz: The Place which Defines the True Meaning and Purpose for Romance without Compromise


Have you ever wondered what makes certain romantic places here in Second Life 
endure the test of time to become true iconic classics? 

I believe that these rare places possess something uniquely magical and enchantingly 
special which sets them apart from all others. These are the places which serve as 
reminders of our humanity, infused with special fantasy, love and romance.


One such place is called Love & Harmony Jazz. It is a fairy tale come true here in SL. 
Much of what you see and experience at Love & Harmony goes beyond description. 

 Its beautiful romantic environmental settings and complementing events not only 
captivates one's eyes but also binds the hearts, souls and emotions of lovers.


It is Orchide's vision "come to life" which personally swept me off of my feet, 
overwhelmed by its gorgeous scenic vistas and its magical, superbly crafted architecture. 

"And they lived happily ever after" is embedded into the very heart of its creation.


Strolling from discovery to surprise, I experienced the many gardens and 
beautiful settings surrounding its wonderful themed pavilions - 
which all revealed a magical love story of their own to tell.


For me, it symbolizes the true meaning and purpose of romance in our lives. 
 Love & Harmony Jazz serves as a reminder to us all that, no matter how 
uncertain the world we live in is during these turbulent times, 
we all deserve love, hope and happiness without compromise. 

That, my friends, is the true essence of romance. 
 It is also synonymous with Love & Harmony Jazz.


Love & Harmony celebrates falling in love over and over with that special person here in Second Life. Love abounds here - for it exemplifies true love as the universal antidote.


As a young girl, I was inspired by the stories surrounding beauty, love and romance. 
I loved reading the fairy tales, watching the wonderful Disney animated movies, 
and understanding my mom’s yearning to make me see the value of romance, 

That said, I gathered that at some point in life I would meet my "Prince." 
He would come to me on a white stallion, sweeping me off my feet, and then 
riding off with him into a future where dreams come true in a world of Happy Ever After. 


Love & Harmony speaks to this virtue. 


To quote Jeremy Taylor, ‘Love is Friendship set on Fire’. Aside from the sparks and other romantic physical feelings, Love is something that evolves over time best through friendship. 

True love must retain like-mindedness together, a shared vow, a sense of humor, 
and the appreciation of another’s unique personality and differences

Although for some, the fire of romance may reduce to embers over time, 
it certainly comes roaring back to life when experiencing Love & Harmony Jazz. 


The music, lighting, artwork and spatial ambiance of its fine dining varieties 
all combine to create mood, provide comfort, promote intimacy 
and of course enhance the romance in your life.


For the ultimate romance novel between two people, it can be found on the ballroom dance floor at Love & Harmony with the spell-binding dancing and the magical flows and whirls of loving partners embraced. 


It captivates your heart as you dance together in perfect sync, love and harmony to the delightful tempo of the music, always finishing in a firm and loving embrace. This is the embodiment of what romance and love is all about.




                                                

                                                  A poem by Elizabeth Barrett Browning

“How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.

I love thee to the depth and breadth and height

My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight

For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.

I love thee to the level of every day’s

Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight.

I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;

I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.

I love with a passion put to use

In my old griefs, and with my childhood’s faith.

I love thee with a love I seemed to lose

With my lost saints, — I love thee with the breath,

Smiles, tears, of all my life! — and, if God choose,

I shall but love thee better after death.”

Extraordinary beauty was in full display at the Luxe Paris Fashion Interstellar Show on October 11, 2020 as incredible styling metamorphoses appeared on a cosmic stage in the twinkle of an eye.

This show, presented by One On One Agency, premiered the autumn-winter collection by designers Parisian Skytower and Mika Palmyra.

It unveiled their futuristic collection, naming them after the stars, planets

As planet earth battles the COVID-19 pandemic and ensuing chaos, Paris and Mika decidedly looked upward to the heavens, imagining their autumn-winter season collection as shining glimmers of hope which watch over our now turbulent world.

Their vision translated into a collection comprised of soft and reassuring 
cosmically inspired colors within compositions of uniquely striking shades of 
extraterrestrial hues.

The event demonstrated that design isn't just transformed or influenced by trends alone, but rather by the beauty, imagination and mystique of those models presenting these stellar fashion forward ensembles.
