Spotlight On Style: Delphi's Designs

I have chosen something for the men out there this week again.  I paid a visit to Delphi's Designs, which has three shops spread across London City.  It stocks a range of male and female clothing including outfits, accessories and tattoos.

I chose the Grax II outfit which comes with black leather pants and a top layer containing a red and grey argyle pattern sweater over an untucked white shirt.  Both the pants and jumper come with prim cuffs and the outfit is nicely textured.  The outfit is reasonably price and is transfer so you can buy it for the man in your life if not for yourself - well Christmas is approaching!

Delphi's Designs can be found in London City 3 - Victoria here and in London City 1 - Soho and Regent's Park here and here.

 So, here is a huge  thank you to all  LONDON CITY Resdients.....  we are so happy to see you and all your friends.


Right, lets get down to business,







We kick start the weekend, meeting all our friends  in one  of two Hubs.
The  Hub is a fantastic place to meet old friends, and make some new ones, always busy and  bustling, great chat, gestures, dancing, all equal  FUN. That's what London City is about, having a damn good  time.



Then we all shimmy over to Substation.

Substation is a Fun, Quirky, Retro Club dating back to the 50's & 60's, playing all the best Golden Oldeies from those decades, here you will find  Roy, Coffee Queen and  Bailey in high spirits to start your weekend off right.








After a wicked  time at Substation, we Dash along to BAR SOHO, set in the heart of Soho ( sim1 )

Bar Soho promises cool music and chat, and delivers time and time again day  in and out, playing choice cuts from all music genre. Bar Soho see's a different Host Dj combination every night of the week,which keep the vibes and moods fresh. If you like good music and high spirited chat, Bar Soho is definitely for you.









Ready for  bed? .... No way!!! The fun continues  in  London City as we hot foot  it to Madame  Lala's...






based on real life Madame  Jojo's, Lala's is the kind of club that slaps  you round  the face with a kipper....



















Sharp wit and music, fun, kitsch cabaret, think old school music hall meets the glitz of Vegas, and  that's part way to describing this popular club, it has a warm and  intimate  atmosphere teamed with fun cheeky banter, with Dj Fierce  spinning the outrageously fabulous  tunes  and yours truly hosting.

Over in Victoria, London City Adult sim, The crown springs  into action, with saucy adult fun and themed events, this venue plays an array of different music to suit all tastes and  the residents are fun and daring... a must place to visit.

Then on to the NEW Dj Request night at Juiced, here we have a come  as you are event, in the Night Club version of Juiced, regulars to Juiced will know exactly what that will mean .. giggles , Juiced is a club with a difference, every night we run Themed Events, the difference with Juiced is that the building is themed too, so every night the club is transformed in to an amazing setting for fantastic events.  ( makes sense  now eh! )

All this and  its still only Friday !!!


Saturday in  London  City is always a little bit more special, we always come rain or shine, hold an open air concert in  Regents park, we have seen such artists as Cher, Elton  John, Mika, Queen, BeeGee's, Amy MacDonald  the list goes on and on, all fantastic and fabulous, and totally free to attend... can you imagine, people love these events so much so. the sim fills to the brim with people literally queuing to get their spot  on the dance floor to see the incredible artists... and this week was no exception...

















No stranger to London City, we had the wonderful and talented  Ms Adevina Citron singing Live for all her fans.


This feisty pocket-rocket belts out her songs effortlessly and sounds  fabulous to boot, taking requests from the audience, Adevina is one of London  City's Favourite singers, we love her to bits, she is always one to have fun and giggles with the crowd  of adoring fans, her style  is always refreshing and  uplifting.


















If you were unlucky this time, do not miss her next time, believe me you wont be sorry  :)































Then we head back to Juiced, where this Saturday we had a best in Tattoo's events, the club was transformed in to a Tattoo parlour, where you could sit and get new ink.

 Sunday, time to wind down and take  it easy, you could do some retail therapy in the hundreds of shops we have  in  London City, that suit every taste  and  pocket, before heading back to Madame  lala's  for the Sunday  Smooth with  Bailey  on the decks.

Everything is geared towards relaxing, and taking you Sunday eeeeeeasyyyyy.
 Bailey plays a heady mix of smooth grooves and easy listening, its a perfect way to sort you out after such a exciting night before.

Then we are ready for a blast of retro again at Substation, cozey and relaxed this week we saw Roy and the gang in their jeans for a best in Blue  Jeans event, what a hoot.

Then we head back to Victoria, to Juiced to bring the weekend to a close. The theme was best in Winter, BBBrrrrr it sure was chilly  in the club, everyone came decked out in jumpers and their  thermals .

 So , that's it from me for another fun packed week...  I will see you around  London  City for more fun and frolics in the best sim in SL xx
