Electric Monocle in SecondLife® (SL) venue delivered a memorable themed party event to ring in 2015 by partying on the upper stern deck of the TITANIC. And the ship sank as we rang in the new year !
SL's owner of the cool event-themed electro-swing styled Electric Monocle venue Lindy Hopper (aka Subversive Vavoom on FB) has really been making a name for herself and her amazingly planned themed weekly swing parties. They are always well thought out, the venue settings always built with great detail to match the theme, and even requests for guest to dress up to match the theme adds to the ambiance of the event. Attending an Electric Monocle event is always an interesting and fun treat for the eyes and ears... not to mention the interaction among all those that attend! A real unique party time!
But Electric Monocle really blew the bulkhead doors wide open when they hosted two sessions (7p-9p & 11p-1a slt) of their New Years Eve party on an actual sinking sim-scaled replica of the Titanic! I attended the later session - boarding the ship just after 11pm slt. The party was already in full swing (pardon the pun) on the upper stern deck of the most amazing SL build of the Titanic I have seen. Lindy was DJing her well known electric swing genre of music. The deck was decorated with new years eve festive props and the souls on board at the party were in themed costume and dancing under the fireworks being shot over the ship on this cold Atlantic moon lit night.
This Titanic ship build was so large it stretched from bow to stern diagonally across an entire sim that was set as a dark Atlantic ocean night with icebergs floating in the distance. Whomever was the builder of this replica build put a lot of time and effort into capturing all the details. Details that included both the ship as it was seen in the famous James Cameron movie "Titanic" as well as its famous movie scenes we all know and love.
Below you can see a slide show of a few of the photos I captured while the Titanic was still afloat - yes you heard that right. I stepped on all the pose balls from the movie scene builds on the ship including... LOL... "Paint me Jack". No i didn't go topless but I saw from photos that others did :)

Then, if the event was not already fun enough, as the clock approached midnight, Lindy pulled the cork on this big boat and it actually began to slowly sink ! You could see the water rising along the hull of the ship in the cold Atlantic night air with the icebergs in the distance lit up by the full moon. The water flooded the lower decks in short order. Then, our upper deck deck dance floor flooded. We all kept dancing as it got deeper and deeper. Some of us pulled out rubber duck life rings to protect us but to no avail... the ship eventually took us all down!
Here are a few photos of the Titanic sinking while the party played on!

Eventually - unlike the real Titanic - the ship was re-floated and we all requested that Lindy sink the ship a few more times!
Last night I attended quite a few new years eve parties and venues and it was fun fun fun, but I will have to say that Lindy and the Electric Monocle team were certainly the grand finale and highlight of my new year night in SL.. It was honestly one of the most memorable new years eve parties I have ever attended in my almost 7 years in SL.
For those of you who love electric swing and / or love amazing themed parties... you need to add yourself to the Electric Monocle group and attend their up-coming parties!
Incredible event Lindy and Electric Monicle - thanks for a good time!
PS... I lost my luggage somewhere in the ocean!
