At the movies



Some dirty friends IMed me thinking we were watching porn during the film BUT it was Lady & Tramp! I promise!!

Tango time!

Ewa and I are very proud to present Joaquin Gustav at our theatre! Bring the sombreros and castanets. Hopefully we will also have bullfights too just to needle the political correct asses in some narrowminded areas of SL. Puss!

May 14, 1 PM SLT. See you there!

Joaquin is a highly trained guitarist, born and received his music education in Buenos Aires, Argentina, the birthplace of tango. Out of his fingers comes an array of string sounds that blend the colors of Latin American culture with his own elegant performing style.
One of the hardest working musicians in SL, Joaquin never puts the guitar down. He is forever focused on giving one hundred percent to every performance. His wide range playlist includes smooth jazz, rock, tango, milonga, candombe and much more.
His magnetic charm is as appealing as his musical talent, and managed to build a very successful fan base. He has a very warm interaction with the audience, always ready for dedications and requests.

Nance Brody Live at Icetheatre SL at 2 PM!!


Whatever you do, dont miss NANCE Brody at the Icetheatre SL at 2PM. She is fantastic artist and a colorful person!

NANCE has a very unique style that is enjoyed by many. Courageous, sexy, and out, NANCEs love for music shines in her voice, guitar and lyrics. She has made her audiences laugh, cry, smile, heal and ponder, she is loved dearly by many fans around the world.

NANCE makes her home in the real world with the love of her life, partner of 12 years, Julie. Julie & Nance are both openly gay, out and proud, they are both very much a part of the gay & lesbian rainbow community and have both spent a great deal of time fighting to get back their equality rights, freedom of religion and expression especially with respect to their right to choose marriage. Since Canada has now recognized their equality, it is with a great deal of pride that they call themselves Canadians. Some of Nance's song writings reflect this reality, the pain and struggle of this in her life.

God save the Queen



St. George's Day is on 23 April, its England's national day. And how could you better celebrating it than on a traditonal garden prom with biscuits and tea?

Elvera Lerner was on stage and sang classics like Rule Brittania and God Save the Queen for us!

a jolly good time!

How to get a heartattack.....

Some weeks ago I logged into SL, at our home. Ewa was there pottering with something. She is very very pottering I can tell you.

We hugged, and I asked her how she has been and she asked me the same “Life sucks, I got a terrible hiccups” I replied jumping up & down the chair.

“Ohhh”, she said and then asked me: “Jesper, are you sitting down?”

“Yeah, but the hiccups don’t make it easy. Why?” I said

“Jesper, I want to take break from our relationship....."she said

It was lightningstriked big time. Thousands of thoughts were streaming through my head in a second. I was in TOTAL shock... had no clue about this...

I yelled: What???? You can’t be serious!!!?????? Why???? No fucking way!!! I know you love me and I love you. What about the sim???? Our plans???? Etc etc etc etc

When I was finished my harangues she asked: “Jesper, are the hiccups still bothering you?”
“How can you care about my bloody hiccups when you just told me you needed a god damned break?” I yelled back

“Cos I love you” she said.

I didn’t listen to that and starting to go on big time about why she needed a break.

Ewa interrupted me by saying: “Jesper, listen please, I love you more than anything, but are the hiccups still there?”

“Nooooooooo they are gone” I cried

“Lovely” she laughed out loud

“Oh my god, I am gonna pinch your pixel butt big time you little monster” I said started to chasing her around our house

Hehe

Today at 2 PM at Icetheatre SL: Finding Isadora


Saturday April 18, 2009, 2 PM SLT

Finding Isadora - A dance tribute to Isadora Duncan by Just Dance
Presented by Isadora Shilling, Choreographer and principle dancer of Just Dance!

MUSIC:

The Music used in this performance are selections that research has shown Isadora used in her actual shows. Please refer to the New York Times article at this URL to read the article: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/08/25/arts/dance/25dunc.html?_r=1

Chopin - Berceuse in Db Op. 57
-----------------------------------
Literally translated as 'cradle song,' Berceuse is a lullaby showcasing Chopin's talent in improvisation and construction of variations. Built over a simple harmony, the melody and variations are delicately formed and based on a theme in 6/8 time.

Beethoven - Symphony No. 7 in A major (Op. 92) – Movement II. Allegretto
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Allegretto from Beethoven's Symphony No. 7 is one of the world's best-loved pieces of music, evoking inspiration and affection since its first performance in 1812. The second movement, in A minor, is "slow", although the tempo marking is Allegretto ("a little lively"), making it slow only in comparison to the other three movements. This movement was encored at the premiere and has remained popular since. The ostinato (repeated rhythmic figure) of a quarter note, two eighth notes and two quarter notes is heard repeatedly

Schubert - Symphony No. 7 in A major (Op. 92) – Movement I. Vivace
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
After a long, expanded introduction in Poco sostenuto, the first movement is in sonata form and is dominated by lively dance-like rhythms.

Tchaikovsky - Symphony No. 6 in B minor, Pathétique, Op. 74 - II Allegro con grazia
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This was Tchaikovsky's final symphony, first performed under his direction just nine days before his death. The second movement is written in the key of D Major. Written in the unusual time signature of 5/4, it takes the form of a lively dance.

Tchaikovsky - Symphony No. 6 in B minor, Pathétique, Op. 74- III Allegro molto vivace
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The third movement revolves around two themes, a jittery motif in the woodwinds and a march originating in the brass section. The harmonic structure is based on the tonic and subdominant rather than the more typical tonic and dominant, and culminates in a full orchestral scoring of the majestic brass theme, often causing audiences to conclude the Symphony has finished.
*************************************************************************

Isadora Duncan (May 26, 1877 – September 14, 1927)
--------------------------------------------------------------
Born in San Francisco, California, Isadora Duncan was an artist who broke the molds of convention. From troubled beginnings, she started her dance career in the United States but soon became disillusioned by the rigidity of the classical dance form. By the age of 22 she made the decision to move to Europe where her new ideals were welcomed and earned her noteriety within two years.

Early in her European career, she was dancing to catchy but lightweight music. When she asked a critic how he would propose she improve her performance, he suggested better music - Chopin. Her Chopin dances soon became part of her legend, and she inspired other choreographers of the time to utilise his music as well. She went on to include other major yet often unconventional composers in her work, including Bach, Gluck, Beethoven, and Tchaikovsky.

Always challenging the formality of classical ballet which she saw as "ugly and against nature," she rejected formal steps in favor of improvisation and beauty in the human form. Her costuming was similarly rebellious as she danced barefoot in clinging scarves and grecian tunics.

While her great contributions to the world of dance are still making their mark today, her personal life was sadly punctuated with tragedy and she was often the subject of scandal. She died in a bizarre accident in Nice, France when one of her trademark long flowing scarves was entangled in the wheel of the automobile in which she was a passenger.

Isadora Duncan continues to influence the arts today and is often referred to as the mother of modern dance. By tracing the roots of dance as a sacred art, she reinvented it as a natural and free expression of movement. Through the simplicty of her choreography and focus on the human form as the source of energy and movement, she brought new life to dance as an art form.

Among used condoms....


Poor Ewa has been away from SL during some weeks but yesterday she was back in business! Yesterday was a welcomeback/surprise party held down in the sewers at Icehotel SL and many of her close friends where there partying with her. A lovely place if you like to party among rats, used condoms, rude & stupid male strippers and other stuff that I can’t tell you about since Google will close this blog down forever!

Welcome home baby!

The Swedish Cottage


Let me introduce our most popular rental cottage, the Swedish one. Groundfloor and the living room there is naturally decorated with IKEA furniture, as every Swedish mountain hut is in rl. Well most of the homes in Sweden are to be honest!

All Swedish huts have a so called "cosy-room" and so do this one! In here you can read books infront of the fireplace, do some petting with your lover or bbq marshallows!

Upstairs is the parents area. No kids are allowed here, a lockable door is a given. You find a very modern bed with all those acrobatic SL exercise here. Are you travel with some other couples or just fancy a 3-some or 4-some? NP, this is openminded Sweden!

Wanna take a trip to Swedish cottage? Take it here!

with the music still roaring in my ears...


Thank you alot Junivers Stockholm, Tina, Blanche, Charlotte and Janne + Zig who did the clothes. The show and the build was fantastic!

I dont know how many avis who was there but I was 100% sure the sim would crash. I still have Ewas rezz party in mind when the sim exploded, and that would have been a disaster.

(Nyna Slate, U2 in SL, who was there yesterday, promised me an evening class in how to reduce lag during an event. Well the main reason for lag is ourselves and what we we are wearing)

Anyhow Tina and I said that we would stop the club thingie after 3 hours of Djing(3pm slt), but we failed completely and the party would probably have continued if I hadnt stop it after 5 hours. Totally exhausted but happy!!

Thank you all for coming and next up is Finding Isadora - A dance tribute to Isadora Duncan by Just Dance. Presented by Isadora Shilling, Choreographer and principle dancer of Just Dance!
