Presidential Art & Tattoos

Manhattan has some of the best talents in SL. We are also very rich in the arts. I'm going to be doing a series of blogs on art in the city. I'm going to start with Presidential Art & Tattoos. Ran by Presi Resident, a former shop tenant of Manhattan. Presi has returned and is still doing art but has also added custom tattoos to his talent. These tattoos are very detailed and can be customized to fit whatever your specific flava may be. Presi sells tattoos in his shop that have already been made for a fantastic pic for men and women. If there is some design you might want and don't see, just let Presi know and e can hook that up for you too. Presi's artwork is hand drawn and he can also do custom art work if you would like. Be it a profile pic for your SL self or a RL pic to display in your RL home. It can be done. Come take a look at what Presi can do for you and hopefully you will seee something you like or maybe there is an image you want to be brought to life. Here is a limo to put you right at his door, plus a few images to make your day. Don't be a stranger. http://slurl.com/secondlife/Manhattan%20City/107/242/24

The New Face of Manhattan City

Manhattan City has under went some major changes in the last 2 weeks. Besides getting a very big face lift, we have gotten two new owners. MariaDelCarmen Bekkers and Javabox Kawanishi are our newest partners in Manhattan. Maria and Java were on an a joining sim next to us but now we are blessed to have them in house in Manhattan City with Sebastiaan and myself. All four of us are a part of the same business team, Virtual Adventures. To which they are both founders of that group. Might I add, Java is also the builder of Manhattan City and our sister sim,home to Serenity Grooves Radio, Arima City. Now we all get to work and collaborate much closer in Manhattan City. It's lots of fun working with these two. Everyday is a new adventure for us all. Manhattan City welcomes you Maria and Java with open arms. Look out secondlife. LOL.

Now I will show you the new face of Manhattan City in a few photos I have collected. Please enjoy them as much as we do and of course, make plans to come see and experience Manhattan City for yourself. More shops, more hang outs, more fun is what we offer you.

Calling all NYC Fans!

Altho Manhattan City is undergoing a lovely transformations, there is still life in the city. Some shops are unavailable right now but some are still going strong. The newest shop, New York City Lights, ran by monarch Serenity houses lots of nice artwork of NYC.  At very modest prices for these works of art you can shop til you drop and take a little piece of NYC home with you. All of the artwork has touch lighting to make each one just a little bit brighter to suit your individual tastes.Here are a few examples of art from New York City Lights and a url for you to travel to the city and pick up a piece of NYC for yourself. Right now they are offering a free sample for everyone to come out and take home just for visiting. So see you under the "City Lights" of the new and improved Manhattan City. http://slurl.com/secondlife/Manhattan%20City/237/200/32

The More the Merrier!!

There is always more room for our family here in Manhattan City. Collaboration with our sister sim, Downtown NYC has been active from the start of the Virtual Adventures NYC Sims Project. Instead of being next door now we are all under one happy roof and faithfully connected to our sister sim Arima City, Home of Serenity Groove Radio.Lending a helping hand is what we, in Virtual Adventures, do and charity always begins at home. When there was some distress for our family, Manhattan welcomed them with open arms.

As spoken by the Virtual Adventures team leader, Javabox Kawanishi, " Because of the lag in Ocraco Island  for the past 2 weeks and "full sim" situation, caused by a club on the sim, Downtown NYC(Ocraco Island) is moving all of its activities to Manhattan City. With this new strategy, we will intensify our collaboration with Serenity Grooves and the Manhattan City group. The transition should be ready by the weekend."

What this means is that Manhattan City and Downtown NYC are all on the same sim as one big happy family. The whole sim is getting a face lift. If you thought it was hot before, wait until you see this one. You dont want to miss it. If youre looking for someplace to go this weekend and hang out and have a lil fun, come to Manhattan City. More hang outs, more fun and of course, more SHOPPING will be available to you.

Pastor Chance? Weddin in The Hood

The darnest things happen in Manhattan City. It's always filled with characters and situations to bring a smile to your face. My newest store manager, RealChance Resident had a new task this weekend. Chance has come in contact with all kinds of people. One couple he met had a very different request. The couple wanted chance to SL marry them. If course he obliged. The fact that he has never performed a ceremony and had to make up his own words for the vows it was a success. So much of a success the couple had a bigger ceremony on saturday and got married again. Such fun. Here are a couple pics of te couple and Chance presiding over the parrk bench ceremony. Enjoy.

Lovin My City

It's such a joy to me to see people in Manhattan City walking around exploring, checking out the shops and hang out spots. There has been a lot of reconstruction in all areas of our NYC cities.If you havent came out to see, you really should. he shops are great, and the sites are even greater. All you RP'ers are missing a treat. Manhattan City, Downtown New York and now Times Square(aka Arima City) all have new things to offer to all of our visitors. These photos are from my Urban downtown Manhattan Area.In this one, there is a couple sitting in front of the new Ice Cream Shop just talking and relaxing in the city. As hot as it is, it's no wonder they might want a cool treat.

 We also have a new pharmacy on the block. This pharmacy is a lil bit different than most. It specializes in "natural" herbs. If you know what I mean. Some people like to buy their pain medications from bottles. I've heard that some people with cataracks really enjoy these Herbs as a natural pain killer and for nausea. It's my duty to help the community out any way I can. For all you "catarack" patients and people needing a lil lift, come by The Pharmacy and holla at it's manager, RealChance Resident. Chance is pictured here holding down his area. Such a good employee.I would show you the insides of the shop but I'm not sure if the SL Po-Po would come after me.LOL. But at any rate, here is the photo and the url in case you might need some healing or just want to explore the area. There are a few places to check out. Even a church, if you need prayer. O, did I mention, the shop also sales weapons? Thought I'de just put that out there too. See you soon!
