Quentin, Sansara, Wanderlust Bench Art Park, Wanderlust Cafe

The avatars that share their work at Wanderlust Bench Art Park have once again, without a theme, come through with art that works well together.

The destination posters, shown on the left, have dwindled in number as places have closed. New destinations have opened but North Keswick Press is producing other projects at this time.

From left to right is art by Veyot, Pearl Grey, serra Qendra and Wheedle.

From left to right, by Klaus, ChrysTeRox and SAUL GOODIE.

Photography by Adrianna Biziou.

Decorative screen by Lynette Trinity, digital art by Elle Thorkveld and collage by baker Bloch.

Every two months Klaus provides an artwork containing a notecard with a timely philosophical quote.

For Quinn’s Bird House a suggestion was made to display a collection of photos taken at Cica’s Bird People sim. Photographers are serra Qendra, Veyot, Pixel Crescendo, Klaus Bereznyak, Kimika Ying, Beatrix and Pearl Grey.

On the Cafe and Art Park Extension side are posters for exhibits and also SL photography by Seraphim Placebo on the right.

Decorative pottery on the right by Lynette Trinity. The Cafe courtyard and rooftop is displaying 3D pieces brought out of storage that will be recognizable to many.

Giselle Seeker has a colorful exhibit of 2D and 3D pieces on the ground floor of the gallery.

Upstairs displays digital art by SAUL GOODIE.

Works shown will change for March/April.

Gardenia Malheur, The Formosa Cafe, virtual restaurant and bar

The virtual Formosa in Second Life is based on The Formosa Cafe at Santa Monica Boulevard in West Hollywood. The sim is wonderfully created on a 4096 parcel in Bon Temps (Adult) by Gardenia Malheur.

Near the landing there’s a group joiner for notifications about parties. You can dress up, but don’t have to. There have been two events that I know of, one spontaneous and I enjoyed both. Those who know me, understand I usually don’t like virtual parties and club events but I found these worthwhile. Of course, The Formosa can be visited anytime.

You can find a Youtube clip of a scene in L A Confidential that was filmed at The Formosa Cafe. The real life location can also be seen in Swingers, Still Breathing, The Majestic and an episode of Bosch.

The real life restaurant and bar was founded in 1925. During the last decade some drama with closings, unpopular remodeling, restorations and re-openings have occurred. The Formosa is expected to open again this year; you can find a menu on the website. 

On the sim, upstairs and in the back of the building, are facilities for ladies and gents. There are vending machines for cigarettes and condoms.

There are lots of details.

You walk through the room in the above two photos to go outside from the restaurant.

Outside is a Tiki bar, a dance floor and a pool where pugs are floating.

The Formosa Cafe.
