Happy Holidays from May's Retreat!

Upon waking the other day, May and I discovered to our delight; that there had been a small snow storm on the Northeast corner of the sim.  We figure that since snow was on the land, upon noticing this wonder, some elves had decided to play around in the snow, making some cute little snowmen, decorating the trees with lights and wreathes and making a fun skating rink for us to enjoy.  I have to admit, they gave us everything we need for fun and enjoyment, including a nice little table with hot chocolate all prepared and ready to warm us up and enough skates for everyone to use!

The rink looks fantastic during the day but the winter wonderland really shows up when you see this pretty rink in the evening hours, when the trees really light up!

Drop by May's Retreat and check it out for yourselves, before the tropical weather that is normally on the island, melts all this beautiful snow and ice away.

The Retreat's New Private Skybox

Yesterday morning, May and I agreed that we had heard enough people mentioning a private area, to the point where we needed something for our members.  So off we went, over to BA to find something really nice for the Retreat.
We did locate a fantastic and amazing skybox over at BA's and had a great time putting together a spot that we really hope that everyone will enjoy!  Once more we put in high quality furniture, from Heart & Soul, from the bed, to the Dom Chair and we even put in the latest addition, the bench which is located in the living room.
A quick side note for those who have not tested or checked out the Dom chair.  It does have toys that when you click on different BDSM actions, it will rezz out a bracket/item for you to play on.  I took a few photos to give you a general idea on how the skybox turned out and if you want to see it for yourselves, the teleporter for it is located over in front of the main house, on the dock.

I'm also adding a few photos showing the Dom/sub chair here, with a few of the items it rezzes for the different poses.

Oops, almost forgot the bench, which is located in the living room area, near the bookcase.  May and I spent quite a bit of time on that one, ensuring that the animations were all set up right, so no one would hit the wall or the bookcase.

Yeah May, I WAS taking pictures when we tested.  (starts to run for the hills already, making sure to get a GOOD head start before May comes along!)

See you at the Retreat!

Retreat's New Campfire Addition

This morning, while we were waking up, saying our good mornings to everyone who gathered over at the cabin deck, May and I both noticed that we were fairly crowded there.  There was 7 people there and we had filled the deck up quite a bit.  What to do with that situation?
After several good swallows from our coffee mugs, we came up with the idea of either a larger deck or a campfire area that would allow for more people to sit together.  Since we already have the Main house, the cuck cabin and there is also the pool deck, we have enough of those around, so we went with this fantastic campfire area instead.  It has 27 solo sits at a time, with alot of room and it is amazing looking.  Created by Hyperborea, it's really beautifully made.
So for those of you who were there this morning, you don't have to stand in the water to gather together anymore and there is room for more to join in comfortably.
Also, put your light settings to night or a nice sunset and this build looks simply amazing in that light.  Drop by soon and give it a try!  We'll see you soon over at May's Retreat!

Happy 4th of July Party at May's Retreat

On Friday, we had our first ever holiday party, the 4th of July!  Sayu was spinning the tunes and rocking us with some amazing music and there was alot of laughter and fun had by all who attended.  While we were dancing and partying, I snapped a few shots of us enjoying ourselves, so please enjoy!

And the party is starting and laughter is enjoyed by all

As you can see, many of us really got into the mood for the celebrations, showing off some really rocking outfits for Independence day.  Big giant thank you to Sayu for the hot tunes and Alex for bringing the drinks for all of us to sip on while we danced!

May's Retreat is Open!

May's Retreat is the brain child of May Carbenell aka May Danick.  Everywhere May looked, she found plenty of Inter racially dedicated sims but, very few who catered to those who wanted a more relaxed, cosy style of setting.  There were some fantastic sims that others had built and developed but, nothing quite what she had in mind, for others of the same interest as her.  Approaching me with her ideas and concepts, she soon had me fired up with the same desire to start a sim, that would fit that image we had built in our minds. We wanted one that was more laid back, very open and a close knit community of people, where those of similar views and interests are always welcomed.  We pictured a sim where different styles of play were encouraged, enjoyed and was in an environment that was open and friendly to everyone there.  We also wanted a sim where we were more exclusive as well, where the people who joined, wanted to be just as laid back, relaxed and just do their own things with no judgements but, acceptance instead.
Now how about a little peek at what our minds came up with:
