“It’s gone from a circus act to a regular city. The experience of Las Vegas now is less Rat Pack and more brats in the car, from Dino and his friends and swingers to minivans and shopping malls. It’s just a big Western city.” ~ Robert Lang

So I finally finished my new patio set. Meet the Tropicana:

Facade Furnishings Tropicana Patio Set (Click For Full Size)

I really had a lot of fun with this one and I got a little carried away with my prim counts, but on the basic items I behaved.

The full set is comprised of 13 pieces and is up on X Street.

It’s also happily on display in-world at my store, Facade Furnishigns.

Like all my Facade Furnishings stuff, the items are all copy/mod/no transfer to permit full customization. They are available as a full set or a la carte.

Patio Loungers:

The three prim patio loungers come with or without arms and feature the cheery Tropicana plaid fabric and yummy raw bamboo textures. They also feature shadows and come with custom animated poses from the tres yummy and uber talented Viciously Llewellyn of 30Loop Animations.

Patio Chairs:

Also three prims, the patio chairs follow the Tropicana texturing and come in arm or armless style. They also feature shadows and come with animated poses.

Bar & Cocktail Set:

The detail items are where I got a little loopy with prim counts. The bamboo bar, pictured here is 13 prims (I know, I know, but I loved the way it looked). In contrast, however, the Bar Cloth and Cocktails set pictured with it is only 5 prims.

Barstools:

Back to semi-behaving, the twisty bamboo barstools are only 7 prims with shadows and come in both a “femme” and “unisex” animated pose option.

Wicker Tea Table & Iced Tea Set:

Bad Salome: The adorable little wicker and bamboo tea table is 7 prims with shadow.
Good Salome: The Iced Tea Set is only 3 prims.

Potted Palm (White Bird of Paradise / Travelers Palm):

Tropicana Bamboo Patio Set - White Bird Potted Palm

I know that full-prim pants in SL are a wicked indulgence, but Logan Bauer puts out these amazing full-perm kits that fill me with squee and demand to be used. So the Potted Palm is 12 prims (STOP looking at me like that) but, seriously, how adorable is it? And it has a custom shadow! Sometimes, prims are just worth it, okay?

There are other items including the umbrella table and a hibiscus window trellis that really make the set my cuppa. I don’t consider myself an artist when it comes to building in SL, but more of a crafter and hobbiest. Less artisan and more cross-stitcher. Assembling my hodgepodge of full perm stuffage into useful things feeds my bliss. Hopefully, it’s the kind of thing that makes one or two other people squee as well, especially those who got patios that need fillin’.
