Raven Park dance this Saturday

This Saturday it's time for another Raven Park dance and, given the recent news, there was only one thing we could do. Just two weeks ago we were celebrating the works and influences of artists we last in 2015; now we find ourselves wanting to do the same for an artist we just lost; one who is important to many on Raven Park.

For the second time in six months we're going to spend a couple of hours enjoying and exploring the works of David Bowie, this time in a dance we're calling...

The theme and feel for the dance is best explained by Anna (who suggested the theme and also built the ballroom to go with it): "It's a Labyrinth-inspired masquerade ball with a weird, arty, fabulous, magical, theatrical, sinister fairytale dress code." So, it's that simple: dress in something you think best matches the feel of the theme. Show off your arty side, your fabulous side, your sinister side, whatever takes your fancy.

Here's the details:

Date: Saturday January 23rd

Fallen Heroes dance

Yesterday afternoon saw the return of Raven Park dances after taking a short break over the holiday period. We returned with the theme of "Fallen Heroes", the idea being that we'd celebrate the works of artists that were lost during 2015. Miss Eve was kind enough to supply the perfect build (a Rolls in a swimming pool -- nothing's more rock'n'roll than that, right?) as well as a brilliant musical selection to keep us all entertained for 2 hours.

Plenty of photos were taken, which can all be seen over on imgur. Here's a few highlights:

Many thanks for everyone who came along, and especially to Miss Eve for providing the set and the music. Special thanks also go to everyone who encouraged Anna to model her very rock'n'roll skirt. ;)

Raven Park dance this Saturday

This Saturday we're back for the first Raven Park dance of 2016. To kick the year off we thought we'd take one look back at the last year and, specifically, remember those who have influenced us, and still influence us, who were lost in 2015. We'll be celebrating the works of the likes of Pratchett, Lemmy, Taylor, Nimoy, King (either of them) and many more.

Feel free to dress in a way influenced by the theme, or just come as you are/want and enjoy what's bound to be a wild ride through Miss Eve's music catalogue.

Here's the details:

Date: Saturday January 9th

Z&A Stables

Back in 2014 I released a fairly rare kind of Z&A product: one that doesn't involve RLV, in this case the Z&A Small Stable. It was called the "Small Stable", rather than just "Stable", as I thought I might get round to making a few variations on the theme. It's taken a while but a month or so backI had a need to build a double stable and, today, I'm releasing it for sale:

Mostly mesh (the floor is prim to save on those hover and rez issues that come with mesh flooring), it's a simple building that serves as a great place to keep your ponies, perhaps ideally mixed with the Z&A Hay Bale Bed, if you want to give them somewhere comfy (and RLV-enabled) to sleep.

The owner has access to a texture-change menu that gives control over the walls, wood, roof tiles and doors.

While making this I decided to revamp the original small stable too so it works in a similar way:

If you already own the small stable and would like to get a copy of this tweaked version just visit the store, touch the vendor for it (or, in fact, any vendor in the shop) and request redelivery. Please note that some earlier sales of this might not have been registered in the vendor system so if it doesn't offer you redelivery please don't hesitate to drop me a line and I'll sort that for you.

You can find both of these releases on display in the new product area of the main store, and both are also available on the Second Life marketplace (small, double).

Slutty Christmas dance

Yesterday afternoon was the last Raven Park dance of 2015, the theme being "Slutty Christmas". While it was, of course, a bit of a stretch for us all to slut it up a little, we seemed to manage. There's an album of photos over on imgur; here are some highlights:

And that's it for this year. Many thanks to Miss Eve for all the DJing she's done this year, and to everyone who joined us for the Raven Park and Femdom Hunt VI dances. Hopefully we'll see you again in 2016.

Another Z&A Christmas gift

A couple or so days ago the traditional Z&A RLV Christmas gifts went out, with the addition of the revamped Candy Display. This range has been expanded with another gift. This, again, is one of the very original gifts from 2010, dusted off and remade with the new device system; this needed to be done because we needed the prop for the Christmas dance and it seemed a shame not to share.

So here it is:

Ideal for hanging your stocking stuffed with your sub or slave.

As before, just head over to the main store and you'll find it under the Christmas tree.

Z&A Christmas gifts

Now that we're getting close to Christmas it's time to pull out the Z&A RLV Xmas gifts again. To add to the revamped tree, snowman and gift box from last year we've reworked and reintroduced the candy display as well:

You'll find them all around the foot of the tree in the Z&A main store. You can't miss them, just look for Zanda on your radar. ;)
