So….you think you can dance?  If the answer is no, or if the only dance moves you have are freebie and, ahem, inferior quality dance moves, then perhaps you should TP over to the Ministry of Motion!  They have Jamiroquai (YAY!), Beyonce, John Travolta, Michael Jackson, and other well known dancer moves as well as acid/jazz/funk/soul/disco, chilled/freestylin, street/hip hop, contemporary, 60′s/20′s, metal, and more.  Not only that, but you’ll find the right animation for your stage moves too!  Do you wail on the electric guitar?  Play a mean jazz piano?  Or just rock the house with your amazing stage presence?  You’ll find the right move for your groove here at the Ministry of Motion.  The sim is a whimsical and fun place to just peek around while trying all the dances.  More than dances are sold here…I saw a mean attack shark.  Beware!  You may even meet an interesting character like I did.  Meet Neo in the pic above.  Don’t judge!  I’ve found the most interesting folks in SL masquerade behind the most unusual avatars.  Come over, bring friends…and some lindens.  Some funky fresh moves here.

The cool factor is soaring high at the LostAngel Industries sim.  I’ve been meaning to check out this place ever since I saw the teasers out in ads a few weeks back.  And it is QUITE a tease!  Check it out for yourself here:

Wow, I feel cooler just for having LOOKED at the ad!  Don’t you?  If nothing else, they sure know how to package and sell a product!  I never knew if it was a role-play sim or club, so now I’ve come to check it out myself.  Will it live up to the hype they’ve created?  Upon arrival at the TP site, I find that it is primarily a shop for poses.  Not just a shop, but an entire sim built in a gritty, urban, underground, techno style.  The buildings have rooms of different types of poses spread out allowing you to soak in the atmosphere as you browse.  And there is alot of atmosphere here!  Obviously a high quality build, gorgeous textures, and designed to pique your curiosity and offer some fun.  The poses are high quality pieces of work designed for model shoots, bloggers, or people who want some interesting poses for their personal pics.  It’s alot of fun to try them out and they include many group poses, so bring your friends.  Although the sim looks finished, it looks like there is alot of room for more pose displays to come…so it begs for a return visit in the future.  Overall, I’d say that LostAngel lives up to their hype of being uber-cool, and as a bonus, I’ve got some new poses to try out for the pics for the blog…yay!

When I first arrived, I was dazed and disoriented.  It was difficult to know which direction to go…with each step into the blackness I uttered a silent prayer that I wouldn’t plunge into the cityscape below.  As I tried to make sense and direction out of the lights, buildings, and chaos about me, I came upon a platform where a sleek motorbike was parked.  I jumped onto it but was immediately repelled by the security system.  I had to continue walking.  I stepped once again into the darkness, only to find myself falling.  It was a short fall and I landed on the platform landing of a stairwell.  As I picked myself up, I noticed a movement in the darkness…on the stairs above me.  I was startled, but couldn’t make out the shape.  My heart beat faster…and I decided to keep walking.  Out of the corner of my eye the shape took form.  It was a man in a dark leather coat.  And he had a gun… pointed at me!  I suddenly realized how careless it was for me to try to take the bike…it must have sent an alarm to the owner.  And now, the owner was here.  Tracking me with his gun.  “Keep walking” I told myself.  I inhaled deeply and took two steps.  “Oh my god!” he said.  “You’re Leeloo!”  I turned around, smiling at him.  “Yes” I answered.

True story, by the way!  The man put the gun away.  His name was Jaco.  We chatted a bit.  I learned that he resides on the sim and he invited me to join him as he docked his ship.  He told me to hop onto the back of his bike and we jetted off.  His ship/residence was a dome-shaped structure with AMAZING textures…really, the whole sim is absolutely incredible!  Bladerunner, The 5th Element seem to inspire the look of the sim.   Jaco sat in the pilot seat and I sat next to him and he carefully maneuvered the ship to the docking station.  After a perfect dock, I thanked him for showing me about.  He was a real gentleman, that is after he put the gun away :)

Some serious RP goes on here, but don’t let that intimidate you.  Visitors are welcome.  This sim is a MUST SEE destination.  Truly, one of the best sims in SL.  I strongly urge you to visit it!  You may meet a new friend like I did.

Animazoo has a large number of fun, crazy, and cool dances and AOs to choose from.  The styles are nicely arranged and labeled making it easy to find just what you’re looking for.  Put a little Mambo in your step, or perhaps some rave moves to dance the night away!  I picked up the freebie cartwheel.  Love it!
