Sims 4 Spin The Bottle

[Grethe Presnar]

2Set Ground Rules: Before starting the game, make sure to set some rules that everyone agrees upon. This can include what the 'tasks' are when the bottle points to someone (commonly a kiss, but can be adapted to questions, dares or other tasks), whether it's allowed to spin again if the bottle points at the spinner, what happens if the bottle lands on an empty space, etc.

4. Spin The Bottle: The first spinner spins the bottle (put your phone or tablet in the middle of the circle and spin the virtual online bottle). Everyone must wait for the bottle to come to a complete stop.

5. Perform The Task: The person the bottle points to must then perform the task agreed upon in the ground rules. This might mean answering a truth question, performing a dare, or traditionally, sharing a kiss with the spinner. If the bottle points to the spinner, the group can decide if the spinner should spin again or if the spinner has to do a 'self-task'.

Remember, the most important rule of Spin the Bottle, as with any game, is to have fun! It's essential that everyone feels comfortable and consents to the rules of the game. It's perfectly fine to pass on a turn if someone feels uncomfortable with the task.

Being immersed in a burgeoning industrial design scene has proved valuable for the SIM team, who put their own spin on high design to create the Wilshire water bottle. The result is a streamlined and thoughtful work of functional art.

They employed a monochromatic gray palette that automatically creates a layering effect where the cap overlaps the spout, and took a page out of the fitness apparel book by adding a built in reflective strip.

Wilshire is a dual walled, BPA-free water bottle that joins our family of hydration products for one more way to drink beautifully. We share a love for the planet and urban outdoor lifestyle with our customers and key design partners like SIM. From inception, to manufacturing, to its arrival at your door, every stage of Kor product design is done with care.

It certainly seemed to Vicky and me that the cast was attracted to people who had dressed up and displayed an obvious desire to participate and not just observe. We bonded first with Gilda, then with Nick, who we followed for most of the show. Our arc also focused on the love triangle of George, Tom, and Myrtle; we barely saw Daisy and Gatsby. In addition, audience members in 1920s-style outfits also connected; we became friends with one couple, an Israeli man and a Finnish woman who we initially thought were part of the play.

Standing out in the excellent cast are Brinkmann, who has just the right mix of innocence and suspicion as Nick; Saunders as Myrtle, who does not want to be seen as just another floozy; Braganza as Gilda, who always seems to be hanging around, ready for a good time; and Marcus, who not only does a fine job as Meyer but shows off his double-trumpet skills.

I love reading an article like this!!! With all the "coincidences" that happened of people running into one another with only a minisule degreee of separation, it just shows me what I constantly believe: that although everybody considers New York this giant city, it is actually incredibly provincial, and either you will always run into somebody you know, or somebody who knows somebody you know.

Years ago, my mother was at a singles dance at the ballroom at the Hotel McAlpin (now, called Herald Towers, a residential condominium building on Herald Square, along Broadway between 33rd and 34th Streets) and she was dancing with this tall, thin guy. She asked where he was from, and he said he was from Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and she told him that she had "people there", and they kept talking and dancing, and it turned out she was dancing with her cousin!!! Good thing she didn't sleep with him (I think!!!)

It makes the blood boil in some of my colleagues, who stay far away, but give me a transformed warehouse, repurposed navy yard, abandoned building, classic NYC venue, and multiple scenes going on in different rooms and I\u2019m all in, even wearing a relevant outfit if I can manage. Immersive shows also often have bars where you can buy cocktails and mingle with other attendees, even if that\u2019s not your thing. The more you invest yourself in these productions, the more you get out of them.

\u201CI like large parties. They\u2019re so intimate. At small parties there isn\u2019t any privacy,\u201D Jordan also says in F. Scott Fitzgerald\u2019s 1925 Jazz Age novel. The story of a mysterious millionaire, rampant infidelity, Champagne parties out on Long Island, fancy cars, polo, golf, and murder has been adapted into The Great Gatsby \u2013 the Immersive Show at the \u201CGatsby Mansion\u201D in the Park Central Hotel New York in Midtown; it began in London seven years ago and is spreading to other cities around the world. (It is scheduled to run through December 3; tickets range from $79 to $249 depending on what bonus amenities you want to spring for.)

Vicky bought a red flapper dress for the occasion, with a sequined handbag; I went for the traditional tux, as worn by Robert Redford (with white bowtie) in Jack Clayton\u2019s 1974 movie and Leonardo DiCaprio (with black bowtie) in Baz Luhrmann\u2019s 2013 remake. Warner Baxter wore a monogrammed suit in Herbert Brenon\u2019s long-lost 1926 silent version. Unfortunately, on this Thursday evening, most of the audience was wearing shorts, T-shirts, and sneakers; the actors appear to be drawn to those who have dressed up, so their loss. At one point, Gatsby stands in front of an underdressed attendee, hiding him from view.

The downstairs space at the Park Central has been reinvented as an Art Deco nightclub with an elegant triangular staircase, a bar and dance floor, a balcony on two sides, and a bandstand in a corner. Various doors lead to other spaces where different scenes play out, from living rooms to apartments to a darkroom. You have to understand going in that you will not see every part of the play, although you also don\u2019t have to have an expert knowledge of the book.

Vicky regularly informed me about what was in the book and what was not and how director Alexander Wright and script consultant S. Dylan Zwickel changed certain plot developments. We also partook of Prosecco and such Prohibition-era cocktails as a bee\u2019s knees and a sidecar. The fashionable set is by Casey Jay Andrews, with boisterous choreography by Holly Beasley-Garrigan, flashy lighting by Jeff Croiter, sharp, glittering costumes by Vanessa Leuck, and enveloping sound by Peter Fitzgerald. The fun original score is by Glen Andrew Brown and Tendai Humphrey Sitima, with arrangements and additional composition by David Sims.

The central narrative is the same, except all the events take place in and around the two-and-a-half-hour party (with intermission, during which there is entertainment). The tale is narrated by Nick (Rob Brinkmann), who has been invited to the shindig even though he barely knows the host, one Jay Gatsby (Jo\u00E9l Acosta). Gatsby is in love with Nick\u2019s cousin, Daisy Buchanan (Jillian Anne Abaya), who is married to Tom (Shahzeb Hussain), a nasty man with a giant chip on his shoulder who is having an affair with Myrtle Wilson (Claire Saunders), a lower-class woman married to George (Keivon Akbari), who is working on an important deal with Tom about a blue coupe. Daisy\u2019s best friend, Jordan (Stephanie Roc\u00EDo), a champion golfer and socialite, hovers on the periphery of several subplots.

Feel free to investigate; in the darkroom, look through the photos scattered about. If there\u2019s a book on a table, pick it up and turn the pages; it just might be a pertinent diary. And if the spinning bottle points to you, be prepared for a truth or dare.

Standing out in the excellent cast are Brinkmann, who has just the right mix of innocence and suspicion as Nick; Saunders as Myrtle, who does not want to be seen as just another floozy; Braganza as Gilda, who always seems to be hanging around, ready for a good time; and Marcus, who not only does a fine job as Meyer but shows off his double-trumpet skills.

After the play ends, the bartenders keep pouring drinks, a DJ spins tunes, and everyone is invited to dance. The actors emerge in regular clothing, on their way home or other late-night environs, and engage with willing audience members before leaving.

We bumped into the Israeli-Finnish couple and spoke to them for about a half hour. When Vicky asked them where they had met, they told us Key West, which just happens to be Vicky\u2019s happy place and where she will be going on vacation later this summer.

At midnight, walking toward Grand Central, we saw a young couple in front of us who were talking about the show. The woman didn\u2019t seem to be in the mood to chat, but the guy was rather enthusiastic, discussing the play like he was in the business. I asked if he was an actor, and he proudly declared, \u201CYes!\u201D I inquired what he\u2019d been in recently and he said he was in a children\u2019s show. \u201CWhich one?\u201D I asked, which surprised him. He hesitated before saying, \u201CPete the Cat,\u201D sure that we\u2019d never heard of it.

\u201CHoly crap!\u201D I burst out. \u201CI\u2019m the managing editor on those picture books.\u201D Vicky chimed in that she was actually working on some of those contracts that week. The guy was absolutely gobsmacked and crazy excited. He was in on some of the gossip surrounding the creators of the book series, so we had quite a conversation. As Pete often says, \u201CIt\u2019s all good.\u201D
