Every Moment we have...

 ...is a chance for something new.

So I had the opportunity to go to the Blue Orange 4th Birthday Bash Egyptian Style. Blue Orange 4th B-Day Bash - Party Like the Pharaohs in the 4th Century...A Special Built by Patrick Page and Tralala Loordes. * Blue Orange is a skyborne “underground” club surrounded by art spaces lined with art by Ini and Gitu Aura.

Elliott and right behind him to the left Queen Tralala and to the right Patrick Page.

The sim will be open for a limited time to enjoy and may you want some pictures here. It is well worth a visit. 

The music was a mix of Egyptian style and other instrumental sounds that were very fitting to the theme around the place. All presented to us by Gitu Aura. 

Ini herself was there as the black cat. Imagine living in a time and place where every home 

was teeming with tiny, dangerous beasts. Some new threat lurked at every corner: asps hiding in clay jars, rats spoiling massive amounts of stored grain, venomous scorpions creeping under cradles. In this time and place– Ancient Egypt– one creature existed that could make the world safe from these little monsters: the cat.

The same graceful creatures that now sleep on our pillows were life-saving companions to the people of ancient Egypt. It’s no wonder that generations of Egyptians were drawn to worship them.

Bastet (Ini) was a goddess who could become a cat.

We tend to joke about how cats feel entitled to worship. Anyone who’s ever known a spoiled tomcat knows that cats have never forgotten the days when they were worshiped. The worship of cats in ancient Egypt was well-founded. Cats once saved lives by defending families from vermin. Without them, civilization as we know it might have never survived!

You learn new things every day and that is good, because without learning what do we have? Nothing! The sim is really nicely decorated and you feel like you are there at the times when ancient Egyptians held a celebration.  Art from ancient Egypt shows statues and paintings of every type of feline. Cats were so special that those who killed them, even by accident, were sentenced to death.

I will share some more pictures in my next blog entry.
