R&N Photography And Art Gallery

 
 By Bixyl Shuftan
 
 

About a week ago, I attended the opening day party of an art and photo gallery exhibit. It was held by the staff of Club Lion for "R&N Photography / Art Gallery."
 

Nita (Huanita Wunderlich)  sent the invitation, "You're Invited to Party with us on Thursday 10th July.  - Start ⏰ 12 pm slt. We have some amazing photos to share with you. A collection of photos from both of us, from years of photography. Ricardo & Me open our New Photography and Art Gallery, also we Celebrate my RL Birthday. Looking forward to see you! ㋡ - I would be very Happy if you could make it ㋡ "
 

 I dropped by when Ricardo Avalira was performing on stage at 1PM.
 

 There were some gifts available.
 

Including a rideable pickle. 
 

 The exhibits were in two different rooms. One had the following sign, "All the photos in this gallery are my RL work. I have placed my work into these amazing frames, which will resize via a menu from small enough to place on your coffee table to large enough to cover the entire wall of your house. For this reason I have priced them all the same, even though they are displayed at different sizes."
 

 There were various examples of art. One could get a copy if desired, but that would cost about 100L.
 

 One wing had some mannequins (art?) and a few examples of sculpture.
 

 This included a colorful lion head which one guy made into a mask..

Free SLB Shop and Hop Car

 
 By Bixyl Shuftan
 

 As of the writing of this article, there's still several days left in the SL22B "Shop and Hop" shopping event. Each of the stores has freebies, or a gift certificate. For the Olympus Motors store at Zinnia (227/102/23), they have something just about all of us in real life could use: a free car.
 

The car boasts 64 colors of paint jobs, a realistic looking engine, realistic sounds, an alarm, and more. 

To get it, click on the vendor and select "buy." You then get the giver. You select "add" on that, click the giver HUD, and you get the car in your inventory.

The interior is well detailed. 

Remember to turn off any AO of yours when you take the wheel.


I took it out for a short spin. It seemed to handle sim borders okay. But it could have a little trouble rounding corners. So be careful on bridges over water. 

Once again, the free car is at http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Zinnia/227/102/23
