Piracy on the Palisade!

Lily & Lulu's Pirate Fete, this Wednesday, August 6th, from 8-10pm SL, at Novem: The Muses Playhouse. All are welcome: Pirates, wenches, stowaways, monkeys, dim-witted noblemen--all will be allowed entry (however we make no guarantees as to your safety). Come for the mussels, stay for the clams! Don't like shellfish?--try the snails! Prizes for Best Pirate--Male and Female. Trivia! Dancing! Reckless abandon! Bring your friends--I'll give a special prize to the person who brings the most guests! This week's music is being provided by Gabrielle Riel herself! Co-hostess are once again Lulu Seetan and Gematria SteelGears. Let the carnage begin!


My pirate name is:

Calico Mary Vane
Often indecisive, you can't even choose a favorite color. You're apt to follow wherever the wind blows you, just like Calico Jack Rackham, your namesake. You tend to blend into the background occaisionally, but that's okay, because it's much easier to sneak up on people and disembowel them that way. Arr!

This past Wednesday, Fairy Tale characters of every ilk populated the magical grounds at Novem, as we hosted our weekly event, this time celebrating tales of enchantment and woe. Let me start by thanking Mr. Hap Underwood, who created a Glass Slipper for us in honor of the occasion. Hap never fails to surprise and delight. Check out his other creations at Irkmade. (I believe, however, that the slipper is still a prototype.)

The costume winners this week were Doctor Augustus Dayafter of Seraph Enterprises, and Mrs. Jenny Merryman of Jenny Lane Soapmakers. Each winner received a pumpkin cottage provided by LeeLu Anatine.

Little fairy princess Gematria SteelGears did a fine job as co-hostess with Lulu Seetan. You'd almost think that Gem had done this kind of thing before....

Next week's event is PIRACY ON THE PALISADE! (Insert pirate vernacular here....)

Follow the Breadcrumbs!

This Wednesday, July 30th is Fairy Tale night at Novem, 8-10pm SL. Come as your favorite fairy tale character for a chance to win an amazing prize! This week's set design is by Lulu Seetan--take a look at the magical surroundings she has created for us. She will also be hosting the event with Gematria SteelGears. Music will once again be provided by Mitsu Figaro of Radio Riel. Come down and see that Fairy Tales can come true!

Airship Day at Novem!

Take off for the skies this Wednesday, July 23, 8-10pm SL, when Novem: The Muses Playhouse celebrates Airship Days in New Babbage! Come see the magnificent build by Brandlew Babenco. Win prizes for Best Captain, and for Best Crew! Dance! Trivia! Fun for all ages! Music by Mitsu Figaro of Radio Riel. Hosted by Dr. Darien "Dodo" Mason, and Miss Lulu "Cute as a Button" Seetan.

Hmmm....Is this who I look like?

I was looking at the blog of Miss Cornelia Rothschild and was intrigued by a recent post of hers. There was a picture of her avatar in the center of 8 other people who looked like her. I decided to try this with MissLily Nightfire, but my results were decidedly different. I think it's based on hairstyle in my case. Judge for yourself:

"OFF WITH THEIR HEADS" week at Novem!

Happy Bastille Day! Heads will be rolling all week at Novem! Starting today there will be a guillotine on the first landing on the stairs, for you to take care of those that have overstepped their authority. (There are some "naughty poses" on the guillotine, so please, please, PLEASE DO NOT USE THEM, or I will be booted out of town and there will be no more fun parties! But blood and decapitation are fine, so knock yourselves out.)

Then on Wednesday, 7-9pm SL, the mayhem continues with our "All Things Lewis Carroll, All the Time" event. We'll have a free "Gift Hookah" filled with assorted goodies pertaining to Mr. Carroll and the Alice stories. The costume contest will be for Maddest Character, and for Most Wondrous Character. Christine McAllister Pearse is graciously donating one of this week's prizes, a boxed tea table set with scones, sandwich assortment, a pot of tea and a table. Thank you very much Mrs. Pearse--you and your husband have been most kind. There will also be a Lewis Carroll exhibit on loan from the Caledon Library, thanks to the very generious Sir JJ Drinkwater. So dress up, come on down, and have fun with us at The Muses Playhouse.

As usual, the events are being presented by MissLily Nightfire and her lovely sister in crime, MissVivian Looming. On Wednesday our charming host is the dashing (and a bit mad) Dr. Darien Mason; and music will be provided by Dr. Mitsu Figaro of Radio Riel.
