They tell me I need to blog. Blog blog blog. So here we go!

I hate writing LOL – love reading – but if I think of this as talking – well…those of you who know me well know it’s hard to shut me up once I am on a roll.

Fandango – my little slice of SL. Why Fandango? Well why not. Actually the night I was ordering my sim my friends and I were sitting on the steps of the castle I was living in at the time – I still miss that thing – and we were tossing out names. I was looking more to fun rather than profound. Ran past a few names but search said they were taken. My dear now (hopefully temporarily) departed from SL friend Otter suggested Scaramouch. I loved that but 1. who would “get it”? and 2. Who could spell it? No one really had to get it but spelling is a little more important. It led us to singing Bohemian Rhapsody but Queen. One of my favorite songs. And the phrase “do the Fandango” of course came up and we were…”hey…Fandango!” Then of course we followed with “Whiter Shade of Pale”…”trip the light Fandango” ….well form all that and a look at search told us there was no sim by that name – wa la! I didn’t know till later there is a well known movie ticket company by that name – I buy my theater tickets the old fashioned way – at the door LOL. Anyway – I sent my order and not long after out of the depths of the Linden Ocean rose an Island named Fandango.

The night I got the email that my island was born was very exciting. Rushed over to the coordinates given me by LL and found myself IN the water LOL. After a frantic call to the concierge soon a Linden in an Lion avie came along and everything was ok.

We set the island on fire that night, raced cars, played on this huge flat desolate sim. It was fun.

Slowly but surely Fandango became habitable. I had a little plan in my mind how I wanted it to look but I really work better on the fly than on paper. My paper plans flew out the window eventually and Fandango just sort of evolved.

Not long after that the adjoining homestead sim became available and Spring Green was added to preserve the bay area and the docks and give us water to play in. That is Fandango at the present. Fandango and Spring Green – a little riverside village.

It’s been almost a year now. Fandango has gone through its phases. I always intended to set up shop for my clothing designs but those were delayed by me thinking I needed a club to attract traffic first. Boy was I wrong! LOL The Café Fandango was fun, it did ok but omg the work, the drama, the money pit! And it left me NO time to create clothing. Hard lesson learned and while the Café Fandango is still there and always will be a part of the village it is used for parties and will be used for special events. I occasionally find people in there dancing to the music and hanging out and that’s great. That’s what it’s there for.

Soon the island of Fandango will be getting a huge overhaul. I never thought I would need more room in my shops but I certainly do! The way things are set up now the navigation around the village is a little wonky and it certainly could flow better. I don’t ever want Fandango Village to be just a mall – we actually hang out there from time to time – sipping virtual coffee – having virtual muffins (just click on the tables over by my main shops). We’ve spent some Sunday mornings shooting ourselves from a cannon I rezz for those occasions in Imagine Park and tossing penguins. (oh stop it you animal lovers, the penguins love it). So anyway we are overdue for a face lift. The “look” and “feel” of the island will remain. It will just (hopefully!) be much better. Please feel free to visit us and do it early and often LOL just bear with us when the construction starts. My plan is to build it off island on a platform then rezz it in place all the same day but we shall see. Part of the island is private residential with most of the residents having come to the island in the beginning with Christine. Land openings are rare there, always have been and have become even more rare as Christine has had to expand more and more of the island to accommodate her shops. People come to the island and don’t want to leave LOL. Maybe some day we will have a Fandango 2? Or an East Fandango or West Fandango? Who knows.
