KMADDCity.com Launch: How Glamour Is DONE
On Saturday, September 20, the KMADD crew had a gala affair to celebrate the launch of their website, KMADDCity.com. It was a black-tie event with a special build, live entertainment, a glamorous theme, and a guest list that was a who's who in the world of SLociety. As a nosey builder, the first thing I had to do was check out the build, and count the prims on the land.
It wasn't anything to look at from the outside. When I looked at the land information, I saw that the open-space sim was owned by Studio Red, and there were about 2200 prims on it. Maddox was the primary, if not only, builder, so I was shocked that there were still 1500 prims available. There were actually two sims, and the build was on both of them. Instead of the main room straddling the sim line, there was a dancefloor on each sim, connected by a corridor. The main sim did crash once during the evening during the 3 hours that I was there.
The landing point was in this entry hall. It took a while to rez, and I was glad I wasn't going to have to walk anywhere, as moving around at these capacity events can be a real work-out. Unfortunately, I was mistaken. According to the mini-map, we were going to have to navigate the hall to get to the actual casino. I have not seen the movie, "Casino Royale", which, according to the invitation, was the theme for this event, but the interior design delivered the sleek and chic, high-end, world-class luxury associated with the 007 franchise.
Now THIS is what luxury is all about: scale and proportion, color and texture, light and shadow. The only true luxury is the luxury of space, and in that regard, this place had it in every direction.
The nature of KMADD's business dictates that they have relationships with many of the top names in design, so a KMADD party usually means SLebrity sightings in abundance. This usually means that, to the "regular" crowd, it's just the "regular" crowd. It's always nice to be reminded that we need to be seeing who is there, and taking some pictures.
Kirk and Maddox were suprisingly conservative. I think I finally got photographic evidence of who clicks on the blue ball. A live singer started off the evening. I can't recall his name as I write this, but if you squint at the pic, you can probably see it's Bronson someone-or-other. I love jazz, I love live music, I loved his voice, he plays a great piano, but this was not what I would have called a great performance. I think he spent more time talking and tickling the ivories than actually singing and playing. He also didn't play my request, an old standard, "Thanks For The Memories", which I dedicated to Kirk and Maddox, so tough shit--suffer the wrath of Rawly. Kromus took over afterwards, and we--I was in a group conference call with a few other people--breathed a sigh of relief.
There were so many beautifully dressed glamor pusses that this could easily be an article in the fashion section. I haven't seen Tango in a while, and have only met him once or twice, but I've never seen him without a lot of blonde hair. Blazin seemed to be having mouth issues, although it was probably just me. This is the third major event that I have been to in the past week, and there has been one person with a face stuck like this at each one.
Last week, at the Miss Costa Rica Sims pageant, Sunshine Zhangsun, pictured here in the purple on the far left, had the "permanently surprised" look. On this particular evening she seemed to be OK in the face department, but appeared to be having a wardrobe malfunction. That's Luca Mielziner in the sunglasses, and paparazzi socialite Angie Mornington in the red.
Possibly scandalous? Maybe, maybe not. There's Minnu Palen dancing with Valena Glushenko. Thora Charron was in the beige dress, which was rather odd for a 007/Casino themed event, but hey, what do I know?
Minnu was rawking an auburn razor cut crowning an 80's inspired ensemble that was a little "Joan Jett" and a little "Alexis Carrington." Nice way to do something other than the big hair and prom dress look--which I love, don't get me wrong, I am a Southerner, we love that stuff, but I love edgy, too.
Miss Tolsen, a.k.a. "Mrs. Korobase", rawked a custom-made red mermaid gown, but I didn't get to ask her who designed it. She was one of my favorites. Oh right, I forgot, this is not a fashion article.
OK so maybe just a little more fashion. Risa Bright got my vote for hawtest babe. LOVED this look--big blonde hair and a slinky catsuit. Woof! Or maybe that should be "RAWR!" At any rate, she proved that you don't need a zillion prims to be gorgeous.
Remember when you were a kid, and your mom would tell you to quit making a face because one day it would freeze like that? Well, apparently Blazin's mama didn't pass that particular memo on to the young Blazinetta. Her face never did get back to normal.
This was an incredibly spectacular party, surpassing the red-carpet gala affair we all got treated to last year when they had the grand opening of KMADD City. There were a lot of people that I did not get pictures of, and I even ended up going stag--thankfully Luca was there to keep me company for a while. Now that KMADD is online, with a Flickr link, we can all just google them when we want to see what really great pictures can look like, because let's face it, the pictures taken at these maximum capacity parties are not really all that great when you're trying to keep up with what is going on and fight the lag to get the shots.
