Experiences II A DATE WITH FÊTE

Gal Reporters Get Into Their Groove

How It Started

Brunella Voelisa: When Tory King told me I was to go on a special date to fête: The Restaurant Experience, the famous inworld dining chain, as part of a feature for Attention SL, two thoughts raced through my mind.

Firstly, “Oh fuck, I’ve never been on a date in SL, how does that work?”

Then, “OMG, who am I going to ask?”

Tory helpfully resolved the second of these dilemmas, by suggesting I invite Sparkle (aka Sparklebottom Lasertits, aka the Cover Star for the November 2022 edition of Attention SL). Having previously interviewed Sparkle, I was incredibly happy with that – she’s hot, witty, and great company!

As it happened, I bumped into her later that very night in Warehouse (Nightclub).

When I asked her if she wanted to go, she jumped at it. So, all was good.

Over the ensuing days I found myself puzzling over how a date with virtual, rather than real food, would work, never mind my actual suitability to go on an actual date (a story for another day)!

The big occasion finally arrived, a beautiful summer Friday evening in late May, and I think it’s fair to say Sparkle and I were both looking forward to it.

The owners told us we would be dining at the recently opened fête: NYC locale in Wandering NY.

That seemed to call for a sleek metropolitan outfit, given its urban chic vibe. But this is exactly what my extensive collection of LBDs (Little Black Dresses) is for.

I rummaged through my inventory and chose a hot black cocktail dress from Binna accompanied by diamonds from Empire and a chain link clutch bag from Arnoud.
