Dogtown

Dogtown has a lot to do with why the Starlust Motel never opened on Neverdie. When the Starlust was expanding, Apatia ran off and found this sim with two large plots of land for sale (buying one...and then I think she may have waited a whole two hours before grabbing the other), making an L shape around a corner (a bit larger than a quarter of the sim) that was taken by a sex therapy castle...or something. We never did attend a session, we just peeked in and visited the hidden dungeon. It was a pretty posh castle though, and had some lovely grounds.

However, we spent our time building the new Starlust (the motel had its back broken to turn the other way at Neverdie- it was at the corner of the L, against the mountain separating us, as well as getting the second story and expanding in size), and before we got around to be ready for an opening (partly, I freely admit, due to me! I can be slow building at times), we started having a lot more interest in people joining us, starting to outstrip our ability to fill in that space, as well as Dogtown becoming homeless. Thus, it was decided, that we would instead move to a full sim, with Dogtown taking up the sexcastle corner. It was a bit of a rush moving in, as I recall, as we wanted to try to open soon!

Marsellus, the owner of Dogtown, eventually became unable to spend as much time in SL, and passed Dogtown to Stein. She started expanding Dogtown a little in that corner, shoving a few more builds in where she could, but it was obvious that she needed more space to go much further. Melatonin and Stein decided that the perfect solution to this, as well as other factors that all coalesced at once, was to split a sim- thus was Harold born (well, envisioned, he was a hard birth that one, showed up almost a week late, with a great deal of fighting. He knew he was so anticipated, he wanted to make us wait).

About a quarter of Harold, around half of Stein's half, is new Dogtown. It's a bit wilder build now, more colourful (and don't forget to pet the gators), and has grown to take up a bit of dry land, as well as the floating sections.

HALLLOOOOOOO!

You all should know by now that we are having a LET'S-SEE-HOW-MUCH-LLOYD-STUFF-YOU-CAN-WEAR-AT-ONCE CONTEST at Starlust, Dogtown, and the rest of the sim, Lloyd. There are three categories that you can enter. BEST UNCONVENTIONAL, BEST GLAM, AND BEST CASUAL. You can enter each contest, but you can only enter once. Now, you just need to sort through all the stuff you've gotten here, freebies and not so freebie alike. Then I want you to take some sassypants pictures, stick them in a notecard titled CONTEST, note what/who you are wearing after each pic and which category the pic belongs in. Once you have all of that, please drop the notecards to me, STEIN SHILOVA. If you just give me images not in a notecard, they will be deleted without warning.

Ok, now we get down to the stuff you should be paying attention to... There will be cash prizes. Yes, I said CASH! So far we are at 2000L for first prizes, 1000L for second, and 600L for third. I'm saying so far because I'm sure these prizes will grow. I will keep you updated about the prize moolah as the pot gets bigger. I will also be giving out a Miss/Mister Congeniality prize for the best pic taken on Lloyd grounds as well. The winning pics will be displayed in the lobby as well as posted on this blog and used in all sorts of other fun things.

All notecards must be dropped to me no later than MIDNIGHT (SL time) on the 15th. Late notecards won't be accepted. WINNERS will be announced via notecard, group notice, and blog post at NOON (SL time) on the 21st. I hope you guys got all of that. Oh, one more thing, please don't doctor the photos too much, k?
