FIN *Relive the fifties*

I am happy to say that FIN is back in a new location and with some new clothes on the shelves. The new sim is under construction but will be back with newly made 1950s style furniture and clothes. Theres a beach and there are rumours of a diner and live music. It seems that Nil had a lot of his stuff swallowed by the Linden beast, but he is working hard to make all this work. It may also be worth keeping an eye on his Marketplace Shop for updates.

Mood music

Trying to put together a playlist for home to create a mood, an atmosphere.



I took an early decision to only include girls, and I tried to go for moody, sexy, assertive, positive... not so easy! I tried to grab some 1950's glamour, but strayed into the early 70s, but I hope i managed to stay away from anything too pop, cheesy or bubblegum. It should be good as inoffensive background music, or for listening.

A work in progress.
