For those of you with "some seasoning" in SL, you may remember the old Venu “The Lust House”. It was something of a traditional, Las Vegas-style strip club, complete with dance poles, a couple of Bars, and adult furnishings scattered about the room. Change is a constant, not just in RL but in SL as well, and The Lust House was not immune to this change, finally closing and removing yet another Icon from the SL Landscape. But, as Fortune would have it, it was purchased and, like the Phoenix arising from the ashes, was given new birth. The new build is a phenomenal improvement over the original, and the changes they made were so very significant that they decided to completely rebrand the build, getting away from some of the baggage and misconceptions of the original venue. Newly Minted as “Midnight Muse”, this club has it all – dance venues, private dungeons, hotel rooms, a Naked Bowling Ally (Yes…You read that correctly…) But let’s have the General Manager tell you about it in her own words. I caught up with Phe as she was directing the application of finishing touches to this ground up, brand new, fully renovated and enhanced Midnight Muse.
Josh (Thomas1 Bellic) (JB): Hi Phe.
I know how incredibly busy you are right now, but I and the SL Enquirer
readers appreciate you taking a break and telling us about all you have
accomplished here. How was it that The Lust House, once closed, is now open and
ready for business as Midnight Muse? But this is not merely a re-opened
Vegas-style nightclub. It is so much
more. Tell me please, why the change?
Ƥђє (pheonix.felwitch) (PF): All of us fondly remember the
"original" LustHouse.. I
myself worked there & I loved it. There was no comparison to any other
place like it at the time.
Then as it so happens, it changed hands.... and then changed
hands again and then Tribish was offered the chance to acquire the LJH. Both of
us having been veterans of the "Original, quote Los Vegas style LH" I
got an IM that simply said "Phe, I have a chance to buy the Lust House.
Are you in" And the rest is history.
The changes began, room by room. PBR update by update.
Tribish is a Master builder and Anna and myself are his team. And as in the
original... we were becoming something upscale and decadent and unlike anything
else out there. We are intentional in our vision to be quite different from
everyone else. Visions unfolded and builds carried out, and suddenly we were so
much more than The Lust House.
We had out grown it
And like a hermit crab chooses a bigger shell to accommodate its growth,
It was time. And the name? So very fitting of the detail and craftsmanship that
has gone into what you see here today… Do feel free to reach out for a tour.
PF: If there are
any questions, in any way shape or form. Feel free at this time to Reach out to
me. If the need is there to climb that last step, then I will do so.
JB: Can you
tell me about some of the more interesting features that visitors can find
there?
PF: One of my most
favorite spots is the Space Pod. Amazing view, calming, overlooking the space
platform. It's lovely. The glass house... There are 3 houses each featuring
different furniture for a variety of experiences. But I love it the Glass house
and I truly am hard pressed to have to choose just "1" of all there
is left that I love here. Even a camping experience. And do try the picnic
table <winks> the furniture is always updated and the best there is. We
feel it's our duty to field test everything for quality control <nods>
JB: I see an
area with hotel-style rooms. How do
these rooms differ from hotel rooms elsewhere on the Grid
PF: Well, for one we have suites. That in itself explains what makes us different than any other experiences out there. Each Suite different, each to be explored. The suites off the main dance floor or the suites in the Grand Hotel. Do go and have a look for yourself. Everyone seems to have a favorite.
JB: Naked
Bowling caught my eye. Where did you get
the idea for THAT?
PF: It's a Bowling
Lounge first and fore most and unlike any "Bowling" out on there on
the grid.
Once upon a time, naked bowling was hosted at a friend’s
house, and great fun was had by all! I find myself quite competitive and for me, some lanes are more "lucky" than others Yes there are exceptions for
being naked for whatever reason :) Of
course we will work with you! Looking for suggestions for Euro Day and time as
well as the possibility of an evening States set....
JB: I saw Three
Libraries. What is THAT all about?
PF: Who doesn't
love books? Each room has gaming tables and also Master chairs on the perimeter
to sit and be a part of the group gaming, but not having to actually game. if
you don't want to.
JB: I saw some
interesting Dungeon Rooms with individual “activities” in each room. Why not just put them all in one room,
like most SL Dungeons do?
PF: Excellent question!
Originally a gorgeous large dungeon "Area" was there. Gleaming and
licked by candle braises light like only PBR can do, however, we found the
patrons reached out to Tribish and expressed the desire for a more
"Traditional" feel. That resulted into what you see today. A
different experience in each room to be had, and perfect for pictures.
JB: What type
of guest do you expect to attract to Midnight Muse?
PF: There’s no
particular 'type' we’re aiming for, when you think Midnight Muse, we want you
to think Classy, Classy casual and most importantly, be kind. If you're 30 days
or older, come on over and wander. Midnight Muse truly has something for
everyone’s cup of tea.
JB: Where might
people go to learn about events at Midnight Muse?
PF: As the staff
grows, so are our sets. Our sets are posted inside the door on the events board
and also listed on the formal SL Dash in events. I post to many, many groups.
Watch your notices as we grow. Or, you can go to https://discord.gg/RHVRk87t
JB: Is there
anything else you would like to share with our SL Enquirer readers?
PF: Stop by
Midnight Muse and the venue speaks for itself. Great sets and good music and
guess what? We <Gasps> Actually talk in local during sets. What a
concept, right?
Shed your views of what the establishment "Used"
to be and stop over for a wander. We are
proudly re branded Midnight Muse. Don't we all seek to inspire as only a Muse
can? <winks>
We have Discord under The Lust House name at this time, and we
advertise there. We also appear on Slip Hallows Flicker as well as JoeBlobs
Flicker. Do stay tuned for more as we grow!
So…there you have it folks. In a land where all adult clubs look
basically the same, the new and improved Midnight Muse is truly
one-of-a-kind. You simply have GOT to
see this place for yourself. And when
you do, tell ‘em Josh sent ya. You’ll be
glad ya did.
Be there! Aloha!!
JB
