Been to our events lately?

No clubhouse or club in all of SL can come close to what the Events Department team has been working on these past few months. It's been a slow, evolutionary process handling the events at the clubhouse since it first opened its doors. We've experimented a lot, learned and had fun along the way.

Now, we can confidently say that all the hard work, patience, and planning has paid off. Each week we turn the clubhouse into a spectacular themed set, and although you are still in the comfort and familiarity of the Blackthorne Estates Clubhouse that you all know and love, you never step into the same place twice.

Our themes have ranged from Disco Night (pictured above), Biker Bar, Phantom of the Opera, Hippie Night, Enchanted Forest and much much more!! What pulls it all together are you, our friends, neighbors, and patrons showing up ready to party and dressed in theme. Hell Night was full of mischevious and fun naughtiness. And the 1950's End of Summer BBQ was darling and fun as we went back to the past.

The DJs Night Alexandre (live on Tuesdays 9-11pm slt) and LadySoft Alexandre (live on Fridays 9-11pm slt) have been pulling out all the stops too! Their ever growing and awesome collection of tunes are set to match our always changing moods and themes, creating the perfect environment.

So, along with the physical changes, we have also been playing with the idea of creating 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place prizes. But on the nights where we get 3-4 pages filled on the contest board it is so much more fun for everyone to win. Everyone is welcome to party at our clubhouse, we are the friendliest, most welcoming BDSM community in all of SL so make sure you bring your friends in too when you come party. Always the more the merrier.... in these cases anyway. ;)

Not sure what to wear to our events? The Clubhouse is usually set up and ready for exploring and use the day before the event (keeping time zones and global locations in mind, of course). You can always come get inspiration. 

Also, we set out real props, toys, and furniture for couples and groups. These are there for enjoyment, use, and sometimes naughtiness! Don't be shy to be public and open about having fun!

The fun doesn't last JUST two hours. Make sure you come down to our Clubhouse anytime to enjoy yourself, relax, and have a good time.

Also, starting this Friday, September 4th, make sure you start taking pictures at the events and sending them to: nicolettepoutine@gmail.com for your chance to have your favorite clubhouse pictures put up on our blog!

I Have Sold Roissy

As many of you may know, I have sold Roissy. It was a very difficult decision, but thing in my real life were taking time. Roissy deserves someone with more time than I could give it. This will also give me more time for Blackthorne! You should see me around more.

I expect that our Roissy friends will still visit us as we will visit them too.

Also I am shutting down the Roissy Blog, and will use this one from now on.

Miss Sha and Pasque Wedding Vows Exchanged

Sha Serevi and Pasque Siddeley were united in matrimony in a beautiful ceremony on Saturday, June 20, at 8:30 am, SL time.

The bride wore white and was lovely in a dress especially designed to fit her gentle nature. Mistress Sha wore off white and her dress emphasized her charming nature.

The wedding was interrupted by Second Life disruptions, but Pearl Shieldmaiden stood in for the minister and administered perfect vows for the happy couple.

A reception followed with dancing and smoochy music.

The couple had been together for a year, and engaged for over 9 months. They each proclaim their love for the other.

The couple will continue to live in the Roissy community.

Please congratulate this happy couple.

Second Life Vigil for Iranian Freedom Fighers

Madison Arnahan of the Palais Orleans Art Studio and Designs has set aside a space on the front steps of her studio to honor the Freedom Fighters of Iran. Black candles with green strips representing solidarity for the Iranian Freedom Fighters are located at this site. A Solidarity poster is available at the site and is free for those who want to post a copy.

Memorial for Sir Angstrom Cazalet

Sir Angstrom Cazalet passed away on June 12th. Sir Angstrom was one of the original Roissy Masters, and his many friends at Roissy will sorely miss him.

A memorial honoring Sir Angstrom's life with his Roissy friends was held on Thursday, June 18th in the Palas ballroom. Many of his friends were in attendance.

Elizabeth Weinberg, Miss Di Milev, Miss Jayne Barr, and his sub Jadeflower Wilder spoke passionately of their love for Sir Angstrom and his contribution to each of us at Roissy. Finally, Miss Zen Zemlja read a touching poem, speaking of loss and of hope.

Over 22,000L was contributed by members of the Roissy community to Relay for Life in the name and memory of Sir Angstrom which speaks of the high regard the community held for Sir Angstrom.

A plaque honoring Sir Angstrom's life will be placed in the newly constructed Remembrance Chapel behind the Palais. Miss Deusen Marx generously agreed to construct the chapel as a place for solace and meditation. Once completed, the Roissy community will be invited to use the chapel as a place of quiet remembrance for those we have lost and those of our friends who are dear to us all here at Roissy.

Below is a poem contributed by Sir Angstrom's sub and placed on Sir Angstrom's obituary:


I feel like a rose of glass,
which blooms when you are present.

But when you leave,
so does balance.

What remains is nothing
but shards without you,
unconnected parts.

Jadeflower Wilder

Please make contributions to Relay for Life if you want to remember Sir Angstrom with a gift.

Things a Noobie Should Know by Devlish Beeswing

Noobie Stuff.
There are things to buy, to wear, to use, and to build with, there are three conditions that apply to such things.
No Copy this means you cannot copy it, you only have that one version of it. If you give it to someone else you will no longer have one for your self!
No Mod This means it cannot be changed, its appearance is FIXED. So if it is not quite what you wanted don't buy it.
No Transfer This means this is yours and cannot be given to anyone else! You use it, store it, or destroy it!
If you put something down on the ground, it will probably end up in your lost and found folder sooner or later.
Do not keep making copies of things you will run out of room at the worst possible time!
Make Folders to keep frequently used items, like your current body and shape.
Learn how to move things around in the inventory, create special folders, clothes, footware and other categories. If I told you mine it would spoil all the fun of exploration.
Learn how to use the inventory search function. Try (Worn, then highlight an item then remove (Worn, see where you are in the inventory. Make notes of usefull things you don't do often. Learn how to edit things, so get a pose stand. Don't pick-up every free thing you see, you will fill your inventory quickly enough as it is!
Make a copy of your self BEFORE you edit your appearance!
Use the mini map and Map to find your way aroundeven consider walking (Joke).
Use the Search function to find Places, People and things that interest you.
Learn how to fly! Learn how to emote. Learn how to make friends and not piss people off! DON'T SHOUT!
Keep within the personality of the av that you have created!
And the most important words in S/L Help, Please & Thank You!

The Roissy/Blackthorne Creative Writing Group Meets Twice Each Week!

The Roissy/Blackthorne Creative Writing group meets in the Palais Brew, the coffee shop upstairs in the Palais Gallery on Wednesday at 5:00 PM (SL) and on Sunday at noon (SL).

Some people come with poems and prose to share. Some writing is about BDSM and some writing is about the everyday feelings of everyday people. Some come only to listen. Everyone is welcome.

We do not criticize. We share our thoughts and our feelings. We learn to know each other.

What follows is a poem from one of our members: Laika Karu

Cyanide Child

Hey Cyanide Child,

Who will you take tonight?

Will it be the one with the sweet-boy-grin and the devil-in-his-eye
or the other one
with the amazingly
soft and gentle... handshake (that took you by suprise -
he being such a tall man.)

Wondering what it would feel like
if he
touched you...
would you... melt?

Would you?
(like butter in his mouth)

Such a tragic thought honey,
to drown in your own bloodstream.
~Laika Karu

Laika uses words which tremble, to shock, to entice, to interest her reader. The spacing makes the ambiguity of the poem even more delicious.

Such poems as this one our group reads and disucusses and thinks aboutl.

Please join us.

Contact elizabeth weinberg for help and assistance.

BTW: The Roissy/Blackthorne poetry slam will be held at the end of June. Consider sharing your work for great prizes.
