wow what a night!

Hello lovelies! Forgive me for the lapse! I overdid it at the party Friday night and thus spend yesterday recovering a bit.
The Friday Night Street party was amazing! The lovely DJ Lynx laid out a magnificent set of tunes in our own Alura Hills Ballroom!
Some very interesting conversation was overheard between certain dancers... If that's what was said in local, I'll bet what was being said in IM had to be unbelievably hot! I know my IM got a bit warm from time to time!
Everyone was exquisitely dressed, and our normally demon-skinned DJ sported a creamy human skin, under a smashing dress! I about fainted when I saw her!
I epically failed... no pics, my bad... i was having such a good time.. I forgot.. go ahead and spank me.. no really go ahead!
Next week's Friday Night Street Party will be a 'CLUE' Party from the movie Clue. Dress as your favorite character from the movie or just a period piece! And I hear tell that Mardi Gras weekend there's going to be a Masquerade Ball!

Under the radar!

It's amazing how two disappearances, of two very public officials, managed to slide under the radar. I managed to get my fingertips wrapped around some suggestive photos, and now delve into the depths of 'crime' rather than scandal. Recent rumors that have reached my ears, makes me wonder whether publishing this, is going to be hazardous to my continued health.
Now, our second sheriff, in as many months, has left town rather suddenly and unannounced We think he left town.... but after looking at the photos taken at the sheriff's home the morning after he didn't show for work, I'm not so certain anymore.
One of the photos is from the Mayor's home, with the lamp in the foreground, almost three months ago. The living room was the only room disturbed, not so much as a sign of struggle but rather a hasty departure. As you all know, our missing Mayor was an unrepentant womanizer, so him blowing town quickly, was not that unexpected.
The other pic is from the sheriff's home, same story, different chapter. Two weeks after the Mayor, he vanished without a trace as well. Not a word of suspicion even whispered.. The town elders just appointed another sheriff after a cursory search for a qualified candidate.
I have some interesting thoughts about the connection between the disappearances, and the activities elsewhere in town. I'm trying get my hands on some files, to see if there's any back up to my theories.. stay tuned.

Potential District Attorney!

Hello lovelies! Meet a candidate for the open District Attorney position here in Alura Hills. This is Rowen Devlin, from all reports, a talented lawyer and budding politician. His handsome face has been plastered everywhere.

I did a bit of checking into Mr. Devlin's credentials the last few days. Star athlete in high school, honor student throughout his scholastic career, and groomed from an early age to follow the family tradition of law. A smooth talker with a rapier wit, waltzed him through law school, where trouble seems to know where he was located at all times.

Upon graduation, he joined a Los Angeles firm, where an ensuing love affair, rumored of course, with a married female partner, got him discharged and blackballed in L.A. Daddy was none to please by this turn of events, and cut him off.

Now he's here in Alura Hills, oft seen in the company of Madam Sah, lady of Lure Manor. It would appear his penchant for a powerful woman is unabated. We'll see if this romance continues after the honeymoon phase. Will he be so wound around her little finger, that he may not be an effective official? Turning a blind eye to the underbelly of Alura Hills, might be safer for his health as well.

Street Party in Alura Hills!

Hello Lovelies! For those of you that may have missed it, we had an impromptu street party at the Alura Hills cafe last night! It was a blast with the amazing DJ Lynx spinning some tunes and fielding every request tossed at her. I was pretty mean to my dear friend, for her inaugural set here in town, proposing a "stump the DJ" quest! She indulged in some payback with some of her late song choices. The mode of dress among the crowd was amazing, very chic for a street party. The best dressed casual I think I've ever seen, check some of the pics! About 40 people ebbed and flowed throughout the set, and I was highly amused having the guys on my 'non-girly' dance hud. We're hoping to make the street party a regular thing, with different themes and styles of music!
While dancing the evening away, I noticed the political campaign posters plastered all over town. Upon closer inspection, it would appear we finally have a nominee for the D.A. position. I almost got whiplash when i recognized the face mounted on our walls. Our possible future district attorney is none other than Rowen Devlin, recent frequent companion of Madame Sah. Curiouser and curiouser.

Elections! and other items of interest!

Hello lovelies! As you all probably have noticed, town elections are rapidly approaching! We're still in need of a Mayor, a sheriff and a District Attorney! Nominations will be open til the end of next week! No candidates have stepped up for the position of Mayor nor sheriff as yet.

The town elders have been time-sharing the mayoral duties since the last one left three months ago under, what shall we say, mysterious circumstances. He just left a resignation letter in someone's in-box. We'd all assumed he had ran off with someone's rich wife, as the notorious womanizer he was reputed to be. However, when the sheriff vanished without a trace two weeks later, suspicion has blanketed the City Hall. One has to wonder what they were into, as the investigation is now at a dead end.
Meanwhile, our replacement sheriff, who has been a non-entity til now, didn't show up for work the day before yesterday. Search of his home, show signs of a hasty departure.... or foul play.

Sights in Alura Hills

Designers are coming into Alura Hills as spot for inspiration and its photogenic beauty! This photo was passed to me as a point of interest. I thought this outfit, designed by Kara Dresler, was cute enough for kicking around town in. Looks suitable for anything from a casual stroll shopping to wandering the caves by the mermaid cove!

Blackout!

There will be no blog on Wednesday Jan 18th, this blog will be inactive to support the blog blackout! As I'm unable to blackout this blog.. this is my vote of support for the blackout! I will be back on Thursday!

Gina!!!

Gina Stella was absolutely exquisite last night! Her amazing voice lit up the Arbor Theater like a live flame! Her set was an absolute delight and everyone seems to have had a wonderful time! I can't wait til she comes back to Alura Hills! A few side notes for the masses...
That young man who accompanied Madame Sah to the burlesque show Friday night? He was back, and they were more publicly affectionate than I had seen to date! Under the watchful eye of Sir Bastion, they cooed and purred at one another in a nauseating display and then made plans to proceed elsewhere after the show. Curiously, Sir Bastion had little to say. Miss Adora, that bombshell, is giving out lessons! For what, is yet to be ascertained, but she appears to have a fan base and a line out the door for her attentions! Another of the Lure girls, Jessica, put in an appearance as well. This one is an unknown quantity as yet, but she was captured entertaining in the cigar lounge a few weeks ago. As she left the theater, I overheard Madame admonish her about staying away from the town boys. Looks that one brings her fair share of attention as well... stay tuned.. I'm still waiting for Sir Bastion to address Madame's public indiscretions.

Gina Stella in Alura Hills Tonight!

The very talented Gina Stella is gracing the Arbor Theater in Alura Hills with that beautiful voice tonight at 6pm slt! If you've not heard her yet, you're missing out! This sultry siren is a delight to the senses. Words can't begin to describe how much I'm looking forward to this concert. Opening seating starts at 5:30!

More 'bits' from last night

Just another morsel from the after-party at the pub last night. The very sexy fashionistas Tae and Blackliquid Nansen Tokyoska looked incredibly chic for the show! I love the boots Black is wearing, Madame threatened to break in to steal them out of the closet! Watch your wardrobe Black!

Time to be naughty!

Hello lovelies! It was a fabulous night at the Arbor Theater here in Alura Hills! The Stars of the Empire Burlesque entertained us all with Phantom of the Opera. They were magnificent, tantalizing the audience with their talents and risque behaviors. Kudos to them! Such dancing and sensual pleasures to be enjoyed! I didn't know 'bits' could move like that. Very impressive!
As thrilling as the show was, even more entertaining to watch.. the interplay and action in the crowd. Such interesting pairings and seating arrangements, and I believe the phrase 'audience participation' took on a whole new meaning..
A few high notes..The lovely Miss Adora, one of the sexy Lure girls, seemed to have caught the eye of Deangelo Urqhart and his beautiful wife Sudevi.. Did you catch any of the show Sir Dean, and did those shoes get returned? Sir Bastion and Miss V were matching wits and parrying words throughout the entire performance, even to the point of setting a bet. The tension between these two is so thick, you could watch it tap dance across the room. I'm not certain who won the bet, but I'm certain the pay out will be quite interesting, given Miss V's occupation.

The who's who of previous blogs were mostly in attendance, plus many new faces. Vixie Rayna and Matteo Bettencourt had front row seats, relishing the view, as was Takeshi Kiama, his love Miaa, surprisingly absent. Lord Winter sauntered in last minute and was lurking in the back. So much for the proposed seating arrangements, hehe. The most intriguing seated pair was Madame Sah and her mystery date. They were certainly quite intimate during and after the show. Very kissy-kissy and playful. When last I heard, she was offering him the 'tour' as they departed the pub. Stay tuned ladies and gentlemen.. I'm sure Sir Bastion will have something to say about that public display.

Tidbits! Burlesque, Gina

Just a reminder, the cabaret at the Alura Hills Arbor Theater opens tonight with Phantom of the Opera, presented by the Stars of the Empire Burlesque! There might be a few seats available, check with Dap Torrance for seating availability.
Also here on Sunday, that sultry-voiced siren Gina Stella will performing in Alura Hills at 6pm slt. Talk to Dap for seating availability for this as well.

The graffiti on the side of the theater, left on opening day, still remains a mystery. Perhaps we need a sheriff after all. No one's confessed responsibility, but Madame Sah if you send her a notecard with something to say, who know what may end up on the wall?

Most of the shops in town have been filled at this point, but there's a few prime storefronts available... We need a good leather store, according to that raven-haired maven in Manor, Miss V. She was overheard lamenting the fact at the cafe...

Coming event in Alura Hills!!!

Hello lovelies!!
The Eldergoth Macabre & Dead Dolls have combined efforts for the January Horror Haute Event! There are some amazing things going on this month, with staggering deals to be snapped up!

What a Day!

Hello lovelies! I realize it's been almost a week! Well needless to say, that week has been very busy, filled with all sorts of intrigue and in-depth conversation.
So yesterday, our little town here opened back up to the public and people were allowed into the Manor. Through much negotiation and promises that 'opening day' would be mostly off the record, I was allowed in for the tour. Beautiful place, that Manor... and such interesting people employed. Such as the tall, woman dressed head-to-toe in leather, or the very dainty damsel very much involved with the stables. The RPers coming to visit are in heaven!
I can't go in to much more detail than this, due to my promise of discretion, but fun was to be had by all. The guests made their own fun as well. Hardly a discordant note heard. And there's excitement on the horizon.. entertainment! To make everyone aware, the Manor will only be publicly open through the 15th. After that, it will only available to members. To help assist, there's a hunt going on, keys are hidden all over the town and Manor. If you're still in need of certain keys, you might get lucky as you explore, find those missing ones. Those hidden keys also include gifts contained inside!

Success!

After scrambling the last 2 days, I managed to get my hands on the last key! It's very humorous that the people who originally had the keys, neglected to mention to the people that received them, that I wasn't to be given keys, under any circumstances! I followed the instructions given within and contacted the gatekeeper.

It would seem there is now a waiting list. The gatekeeper, Madame's right hand man, was less than pleased to see me, when he realized who i was...he got a stern evil frown and said, "hell will be frozen over before you gain access to our Manor".

At least it's winter?

Bringing in the New Year with a Bang

Oh my... It would seem the action continued well into the New Year, as the occupants inside filtered in to the depths of the Manor dungeon to indulge in some kinked revelry orgy-style. Almost everyone from dinner last weekend was here, plus a few of the new arrivals.

The distribution of the keys has quickened, because the latest additions to the debauchery seem to have been summoned to add new flavors to the mix. Perhaps the same dozen people gets old after a week.... Rusch Raymaker offered Jesika Contepomi up as a sacrifice in exchange for the hot-pink haired designer, Monica Outlander. Under the watchful eye of the lovely, yet elusive, Madame of the Manor, this orgy went into the wee hours of the morning, every whim, fantasy and itch scratched.

The town's being flooded, and I hear that there's a bit of a wait for reservations to get in. The Manor is booked solid.. Time shall tell. Nothing like a bit of scandal to make things interesting.
