Swank Events Jan '20 Introduces Moondance Boutique Jewelry’s Kardia collection – a drop-dead gorgeous statement which defines the look of elegance.



The magic & joy of Second Life allows us to experience the finer things in life. 

Take for the example Moondance Boutique’s Kardia necklace, earrings, ring 
and bracelet collection. Diamonds are, after all, 
a woman’s best friend regardless of which world we explore. 


Although our Second Life experiences are fantasy, this lifestyle choice is not 
about pretending to be rich. Rather, Second Life focuses on ways to live 
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. 



I love how well Moondance Boutique's sophisticated HUD menu delivers 
a splendid and abundant choice of color options.



This Kardia Collection, with its beautiful clusters and repetitive gems of teardrop, round
and heart shaped arrays makes a high fashion, drop-dead gorgeous statement.



Combined with brilliant accents and exquisite detailing, one must recognize Moondance Boutique’s wonderful contribution to Second Life with their fabulous artistry and sophisticated zeal.

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!

Heralding in a New Era: The New & Improved Frank’s Jazz Club now at Aika Fantasy - Your Club, Your Way.



Mary Pickford stated, “The past cannot be changed. The future is yet in your power.” 


That being said, the future certainly does portend change -
Heralding in a new era and underscored by the rebirth of a historic Icon.

It is my pleasure to announce that, from the ashes of Frank’s Entertainment Group 
(FEG), a new phoenix of entertainment has arisen called Frank's Jazz Club. 
 It is very impressive both in design and management structure. 


As an architect, I find this new club surpasses its predecessor in each 
and every design category with genuine zeal.

I also find it to truly be one of the most exciting, richly elegant, 
inviting and charmingly romantic places in all of Second Life. 


By comparison to the former FEG Frank’s Jazz, the new Frank’s shares a 
similar main entry with an ascending “sense of arrival” stairway promenade. 
 Its' overall functional layout is also similar in scale with that of the old Franks. 


However by stark contrast, I find that the new Frank's Jazz Club's architecture, 
ambience and elegance surpasses that of its predecessor in quality execution -
with superb attention to detail and textural sophistication. 


To all those individuals who were once dedicated to the romantic purpose 
and intent of the now defunct FEG, and for all of those who also contributed to 
the original Frank’s Jazz’s entertainment over the years with their passion 
and talents - come see for yourself this new magnificent creation. 


When you experience first hand the aesthetic and ambient improvements of the new 
Frank’s Jazz Club you will be duly impressed. The discerning use of materials blends seamlessly in proportion with its  functionality, scale and sophistication. 

The superb execution of detail not only harmoniously reflect and complements
the historical past, but now also helps to ensure its future. 


Along with its more intimately scaled and Palladian influenced shopping plaza 
at the threshold to Frank’s main entry portal, I also noted a very intelligent and 
astutely savvy move on the part of management. 

Integrated within its master planning is the inclusion of 
estate housing as a component of mixed-use development.


This experienced team of management professionals keenly recognizes 
the true values and needs of the SL community over that of 
its predecessor's ill-fated management decisions.

I say "BRAVO" to Frank, Xtern, William and Jae for making this happen! Thank You!

I see a great future ahead for the new Frank’s Jazz Club.
