Orange Island Photo Contest – it’s All That Jazz!

All That Jazz!
All That Jazz!

Yes, the theme for today’s Photo Contest is All That Jazz!

Let’s chill and listen to some cool jazz. Or maybe the jazz will be hot and the jive will be jumping. Drop in, hang out and make your choice of how you will reflect that raciest of racy times … the Jazz Age.

And our venue for today is that most sophisticated of jazz clubs: The Sunset Jazz Club, Alexandria on the Laurel Arts Isle sim.

There are some fascinating locations here to explore – all devoted to the Arts and Egyptian themed: the Memphis Pavilion, the Luxor Stage at Karnak, The Cairo Theatre … but we want you to focuus your attention on the most decadent and intoxicating of names … Alexandria – and the Sunset Jazz Club.

And perhaps you might also keep in mind the words of the immortal Dorothy Parker:

THE FLAPPER
by Dorothy Parker

In the Jazz Cafe
In the Jazz Cafe

The Playful flapper here we see,
The fairest of the fair.
She’s not what Grandma used to be, —
You might say, au contraire.
Her girlish ways may make a stir,
Her manners cause a scene,
But there is no more harm in her
Than in a submarine.

She nightly knocks for many a goal
The usual dancing men.
Her speed is great, but her control
Is something else again.
All spotlights focus on her pranks.
All tongues her prowess herald.
For which she well may render thanks
To God and Scott Fitzgerald.

Her golden rule is plain enough –
Just get them young and treat them
rough.

Hint: explore the possibilities of the dances …
