Mardi gras, and are you sitting comfortably?



Mardi Gras is coming fast, so here's another taste of Alain Papp's amazing creations for any carnival: for both men and women. Really, one of these is more than just an outfit, it's an experience. So much is included, and it's all just stunning. Check out his store at Vent du Sud even if it's to pick up a beautiful parasol, mask or fan.


As for me, I'm busy throwing big prims around - more news later. But until I can get around to boxing things up and taking photos, here's an offer.


This seating corner has not only half a dozen colours in each cushion, it has several great casual, animated poses in each too. The back support has 4 colours. Oh, and there's a great couples' pose for those relaxing moments together.

And no, I don't know why I called it a corner as it's round... but the unusual curved shape is really handy for so many places, either inside or outside: a great change from a couch and a fun place to chill with friends.

It's been one of my popular items for a while, so here's a chance to get it for just 100L instead of 199L - only for a couple of days.

The combinations of colours (neutrals, golds, blues, tans) means there are literally HUNDREDS of looks. Simply, sober, yet so versatile!


Check out the rustic couch too right beside it too ... another carefully-crafted piece that changes colours. Go and click... you'll see.

Back to work, because there are lots more surprises in store at Vent du Sud
(oh, and click on the cannon in the square... just a hint... but a brilliant idea for any role-play place or for photos).

Hauling prims

February is often such a dreary month but fortunately there are things that make it a lot better.





First up, this month we're focusing on carnivals, Mardi Gras, whatever you want to call it. And as we're lucky enough to have Alain Papp - THE specialist for carnival costumes, you can check out his jaw-dropping masterpieces, or even just treat yourself to a superb mask or a fan for that special event. Check out his luscious, extravagant creations on the square.





Then there's Menthal who is offering what can only be called the ultimate in atmosphere...

Smoke or mist? Click the box and choose a colour. Bubbles? Yep, those too. Try them out on the square and buy one for your next party.

They give out... er... a LOT of mist or bubbles, and click on and off (useful, that). He's right next door to Alain now!






We've called this series... OH! (His name is Menthal Oh, and eau (prounounced oh) means 'water' in French. Not sure you needed to know that, but hey... direct tp to OH!)







I just love the helix bubble lamps... and they're a steal at 100L - great gift, too.


Great for parties, no? Or any modern build.



Me? I've moved the flowerboxes beside my Vent du Sud mainstore, and put in new ones (with a couple of dollarbies and more surprises to come. Think 'VALENTINE GIFTS' with a touch of class - go check it out!






And just to make sure there are always lots of surprises here, Ferri Lane has put out a superb pair of classic white stilettos for FREE (and yes I know the photo is red).
Grab them at Ashton and Lane, as well as their welcome gift (see Sunday's blog)



So as always, lots of newness, lots of superb, unique things... and lots of fun. All at Vent du Sud!
