Back to the 50's


Todays blog is all about the past. I have a sort of obsession with past music, fashion...etc so I decided while waking up with my first cup of coffee (that's when the best ideas come to me) that I would try and do a themed blog.....and I thought well what kind of theme can I do and this advert for something grease related appeared on the tv the 50's brilliant.......perfect!! so I then went on the hunt for a suitable sim, and I needed clothes to go with the theme so I headed down to kal rau and picked up the casual shirt fatpack it comes with a HUD, and an unlimited number of combinations the textures look great on too. The jeans I'm wearing are liquid mesh blue jeans by Redgrave, and I have to say they fit like a glove. I am totally loving the whole liquid mesh thing.....next up I needed shoes and I figured converse would just about pass muster since I had seen them worn in several pictures from the 50's and 60's......I scouted the market place for a pair. I ended up with 20.FIVE dark converse they're probably the best I have seen so far in terms of texture, they also come with a HUD and a few color changed just in case you feel like the default black isn't really your thing....


The sim I found is called " The Silver King Grill it's a diner basically themed like the 50's which is perfect for today's blog. I had the pleasure of sitting in with the band while I was there, but as soon as I started singing they all ran screaming off the stage...................(was it something I said??) errrrrrrrrr........they also have numerous stores around the sim, and an arcade across the street which I thought was pretty neat. I didn't bother to use any special photography effects or depth of field. I just felt that it didn't require any major adjustments. The diner serves up some great food, and I had noticed there is a pizza permanently stuck to the counter top (wonder how long it's been there??) it wasn't green or anything so maybe if I got a crowbar and pried it off it still much be okay to eat. There is a guy inside the diner sitting next to the jukebox who looks like he came straight out of the 70's ummmmmm wrong era dude go back.....go back NOW!!!.....on the whole I had fun and if you wanna check it out I highly recommend it for themed parties, even weddings...........see you all real soon with another adventure!

  1. You may want to stay away from the pizza. If you have to use a crowbar to get it off the counter you don't want it! Since you went back to the 50's does that mean next you will go to the future?
