Lori Novo: Events Covered

"The greatest danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it,

but that is it too low and we reach it."

人間にとって最大の危険は、高い目標を設定して達成できないことではなく、低い目標を設定して達成してしまうことだ。

Hello, and a very happy day to all!

I come to you from one of my favorite events in Second Life.

This is

:::BAROQUED:::Japonica/ORIENTILIKA/Gothical

(Moderate)

This round opened on June 30th and will end on July 21st.

Still there's enough time left to visit if you haven't done yet and enjoy the colorful beauty of the place.

I picked up a thing or two from this round during my visit, the beautiful kimono I am wearing which was my

favorite thing from this round, [SHIFUKU] Daru Yukata F 2024 - 01.

HERE you can view the gallery.

I have covered this beautiful event in the past [Japonica Day & Night] which I enjoyed doing so much

because of how beautiful I always find it. Everything from the decor to the amazing exclusives that our

Second Life designers create for us, to the beautiful people that I run into while I am there.

However, on this occasion, I restrained myself from photographing real people and focused on the

fake ones which was truly very hard for me to do since I love capturing the beauty of people with my

camera. Maybe next time. ;)

More than just a place for shopping, Japonica is a place to enjoy and have fun with friends or on our own.

It is a place that inspires every photographer because of all the beautiful vivid colors all around.

The beauty of the place is equally appreciated both at night and in the daytime.

But there is always more to explore and discover as I always say and that is what is behind the scenes,

just like in the movies.

Coming very soon, part two of Japonica, Behind The Scenes.

Take care everyone, Over & Out!

Hello Beautiful Second Life!

I do love attending shopping events where you can't help but smile not only for how beautifully

they have been decorated, and the great exclusive items I can find and those surprisingly very low,

special deals that are so hard to resist, but most of all, by the beautiful people that I get to see, dressed

in their very best clothing.

Welcome, this is the Sakura Matsuri festival (Moderate)

Uptempo Japanese Music - Traditional Japanese Music For Background Music & Ambience

Sakura Matsuri is the largest Japanese cultural celebration in the United States which celebrates the

coming of Spring. From April 13 through April 14, this beautiful Japanese street festival

will be celebrated with cultural performances, authentic Japanese food, martial arts, artisans,

and much more! It all happens in Pennsylvania near Capitol Hill I believe. You can read more

about this beautiful festivity HERE.

But as we all know, in Second Life we do enjoy early celebrations and so we have the opportunity

to attend now this beautiful festivity that opened on March 14th and will run all the way to March

31st. It is an open invitation by Team Okinawa to all to come and celebrate cherry blossom season

together at an event that has been so beautifully decorated in pink with beautiful surroundings of

Sakura trees and other beautiful areas if you venture outside the event's grounds.

Now, inside the event ground is just as beautiful as the outside, if not more festive I'll say.

I found the booths so nicely decorated and loved all the pink glowing confetti falling from the

sky and showering every attendee in pure cheerful joy, because really, who doesn't like to

be covered in confetti? I sure do!

These are just a few of my favorite booths at the event that offer beautiful exclusives

that are so hard to resist. I for sure broke the initial plan to go "just to see" but ended up returning

home with a few items that I bought and had to hide under the bed so Steppenwolf didn't see

that once again, I used his credit card on a shopping spree. :P

Now I do want to mention that one of the best parts of the event is the 65L$ items that are on sale.

Trust me when I tell you that they are the best. Very high quality and many come in Fatpacks and

include new or retextured items. So make sure you look out for these 65L$ deals in every booth

while you are there, I am sure you won't want to miss them. ;)

However, [SHIFUKU] From Tonarino was my #1 favorite booth in all of the event,

not only for the beautiful exclusive but also for the 65L$ offered which is a must to get.

Now, as you all already know, my favorite thing to see at any event, exploring, shopping, etc.,

is the people. I always find them as the most beautiful part of my Second Life journey.

I love saying hello and many times chatting with them if they have the time, and Sakura Matsuri had

so many of them, all beautiful that I couldn't stop from clicking my camera in every direction.

However, I saved all those pictures for future posts, three different blog posts to be exact.

Coming Very Soon!
