Belle Demeure News December 2018
Hello friends! In first life, Hex and I are well into the throes of a Florida winter, meaning I had to wear socks yesterday. I am happy to report that, In SL, no socks are required and I could wear flip flops every single day if my fashionably manicured avatarian feet did not scream for haute couture. Of course, there are parts of SL where it is always winter, but, here, at Belle Demeure, it is eternal spring. I do hope you'll drop by this month to feel the warmth and to see the holiday display in the main salon at the chateau.
Of course, I encourage you to to take in an event or two here as well. We have quite a lot going on this month. As always, you are invited. I hope you'll start by attending IanLee Patton's art exhibit, opening December 2, at our Frostbite-Thane Gallery. Ian is a well-established artist in his first life, as well as SL. I am sure you'll appreciate his work as much as I. Later in the month, we'll have a Shakespeare Circle event and I'll be putting on a series of winter holiday themed concerts. There may even be a pop-up ball at Belle Demeure Ouest (assuming I still have the energy for such an event come month's end).
Frostbite Thane Gallery
Opening: The Art of IanLee Patton
Sunday, December 2
1 PM - 2:30 PM SLT
Frostbite Thane Gallery
Ian is an inventive and modern graphic artist. His work reflects his personality (which is a good thing, FTR) and his interests. This is not his fist show in SL or even his first show hosted by Frostbite Thane. His work will hang for several weeks, so we hope you'll come back time and again. Also, please consider purchasing some of Ian's work. I promise you won't regret it.

Freda Frostbite: Winter Celebration in Song
Multiple dates and Times

Thursday, December 20, 2 PM SLT
Sunday, December 23, 12 Noon SLT
Wednesday, December 26, 6 PM SLT
Saturday, December 29, 9 AM SLT
Recital Hall
You may or may not be aware that Freda used to sing in SL as her alt, Lark Nocturne. Then, winter 2017-18 happened and Freda (and all the girls) needed to take a break from virtual worlds to focus on her first life. Now, she's back but streamlining her virtual lives as much is possible. Lark is retired for the foreseeable future and Freda will sing, but not as frequently as Lark did.
Freda's recital of seasonal songs include some about winter holidays, Chanukah to Epiphany, and some songs about the season of nature's rest and renewal. Her songs range from traditional and classical carols to spirituals, folk tunes, rock, jazz, and pop. Some are brand new to Freda's (or Lark's) repertoire; others have been part of her show for years in first and second life. Come for a show or two and being your friends!
