The (deserved) Rest of the Hunters

After lots of hints, discussions on the changes of places made by the creators, lots of taxi’s,  lots of crashes, loads of lag and tons of fun: We finally made it!!! Me and Winter got all (except the ones that were taken away. Not our fault) the 103 Twisted boxes from this new hunt. At the end the rest was more than deserved. Thank you, Twisted Prince Charming Bunnies for your arms!!!twistedprinceVirtual Regards

Kisses

Saturday night and I must be a looser. Here I am staring at my screen and getting bored. Yes, not all of us get to go off RL on Saturday nights. Very difficult when you are a middle aged fat mother of two. Or a local league soccer player with a big mustache. Anyway my Sister went out, my cat went out and me and Winter stayed put, out of the cold.

After some time even rolling my mustache between my fingers lost all the charm. So I decided some kisses were in order. Turns out 245 of them are available, grid wide:

I’m happy to say we did very well on this first night, me and Win, and we grabbed 50 kisses. Aren’t we amazing?

Alpha Auer and OMFG

I have been reading Alpha Auer’s posts in NPRIL since I started reading the blog. All her discoveries around the grid were simply amazing in creativity and totally different from what we could see around the blogosphere.

Yesterday I was exploring Mainland and came to a place I found interesting to take a picture and didn’t notice someone was there till I was positioning the camera – I hardly pay attention to my Mystitools radar. And there she was, Alpha, just standing.

Well I am a little shy when it comes to speak to bloggers I read and never met, cause I don’t want to invade their privacy, but this time I really had to talk to Alpha and congratulate her about her posts and her new begining as a designer. The place happened to be her store and she was very nice and we talked for a while.

I couldn’t resist taking with me what she had there for sale. Still not much but a promising work is on the way.

So I took all the dolarbie skins (6 I think) and the two outfits I show you bellow.

First the skins are very carefully made with colours and tatoos embeded that I haven’t seen anywhere else. I was really glad that these would suit my shape, cause it is not easy to find skins that don’t change how I look (ok, ok I’m picky, but most skins just make me look so different from what I am used to).

On the first picture you can see the alpha.tribe::: Golden Ammonite Skin, with beautiful golden shell tatoos on the skull and face and the alpha.tribe Basic Leotard (just L$ 50). With all the fuss about the sale on OMFG, I went there and bought the whole store. Kinda thought that some of the gear would look good with Alpha’s outfit, so I decided to accessorize with the Wings of Rust Thorn, the Big Brass Halo and the Hard Coat Venus Boots (recoloured).

Do I look like a futuristic sort of angel or what? hehe

 

On picture two I am just wearing the alpha.tribe Red Ammonite (full outfit). The skin is included and the hairdress moves softly around your head. The one shown on the picture is the small one, there is still a larger one in the pack, as well as an extra skirt just without the snake textured prims. The skirt prims attach to the belt, so you won’t have them sticking out of your butt.

I am not going to put the URL of Alpha’s store here, once it is not yet opened to the public. But keep tuned for further developments. Other credits and slurls bellow the pictures.

Vampires and Lucky Chairs

crimson-shadow-lucky-chair

Since I can remember Lucky Chairs have always been a part of my SL. First by chair hopping and then my first job in SL was calling for chairs to a lovely small store called Sexy 99 that no longer exists. Although I don’t chair hop as I used to, some still call my attention for the quality of the goods offered.

The first time I went to Crimson Shadow was on a chair call and I just fell in love with the store. The clothes are beautifully designed, for both men and women and the whole castle/shop is carefully build giving it that vampire flare not easy to achieve without being too blunt. Gothic arches, blood fountains, cabalistic symbols all blend together to give the correct atmosphere for the store and club.

They are having a sale on the second floor at the moment, most of the things being at L$50, from complete outfits to Boots, for both ladies and gents.

I show you here one of the outfits and the Funky skulls boots in black.

Also you can see the current outfit at the chair, which changes letter every 30 minutes, but you can buy it for L$350 if you don’t feel like waiting for your letter to come up.

Dress me up: Elora by Artemisa

So you thought I was done with this challenge?  Well, you should have known better, it ain’t over till the fat lady sings and Art did ask for an opera singer. This felt like a trip to the past for me. About a year ago I had a lot of fun exploring SL with this handsome guy, and once I did dress up as an opera singer, so of course I had to get that dress back. Then I looked for the place… and found it didn’t exist  anymore. So I went back to Owl’s and decided the drama zone was the right place. That’s when I started the pics and simply had too much fun. So I decided to get a music… needed one more singer and Quinn was kind enough to oblige me.

Now I know this is not the way to do a proper fashion post, but then, I don’t really care!  Credits under the clip.

Skin goodness? Here!

Two days ago I got invited to be part of this amazing, sexy and fashionable team.

Of course I wanted to post right away and share some of my inventory awesomeness with you! Unfortunately I get easily distracted by boys, shops and shiny lights, so I’m here now. *performs an incredible stage jump*

Let’s start with the basics… skins. Now I’m not one to change my skin that often, as I prefer to spend all my linden savings in shoes and hair.

But THIS skin is worth it. And… (you’re gonna love me for this) it’s FREE!

First Christmas Dresses

A year ago, more or less, I was living my first SLChristmas. There were lots of hunts for freebies and I, as all of us, wanted them all. “Free” is a magical word no matter what world we are talking about, specially when you don’t have money to spend. The invitations to big balls were falling in each notice and I did not had that special dress, the one that I thought would be the perfect Christmas Ball Dress. Then, all of a sudden my Christmas Dress story started…

The Good Ghost Dress of Christmas Past

So there I was wondering what should I wear to the next ball when the good news arrived: Constanza Volare, from Alchemy Angels, had made a lovely dress for the season and it was free. Wow, that was my thought!!! I knew Constanza’s work and loved it already. In fact my first Princess Dress, a gift from a friend, was from her collection. So I teleported myself to Alchemy and there it was, my first Christmas and red dress. I right clicked it and worn it. And then again: Wow, was the sound I made. The way it moved while walking and the softness gave me a comfortable feeling and I liked it. The texture was nice and the snowflakes on the bottom gave it the sense of fashion a ball dress should have. And then the final touch: the fur around the neck: classy and stylish. And all this for free??? Too good to be true, but it was!!! Don’t need to say that it was the dress I took to every Christmas ball and made a success with it. Thank God laundries work fast in SL. (lol)

The Good Ghost Dress of Christmas Present

This year I was almost having the same problem: no Christmas Dress for the balls. And then, guess who saved me again? Bingo!!! Constanza Volare!!! There I went to Alchemy to get my “Snowflake”. And isn’t it white an awesome colour to wear on Christmas too??? I right clicked (again) and worn it. Amazing surprise again!!! The way the skirt fell seemed like the texture would be a soft, gentle and a smooth piece of fabric falling over the skin. And again I felt comfortable on this side of the screen too. And comfortable is a word I associate with clothes: one should always feel comfortable with what one wears, even on SL. Specially on SL, because we get to dress things we probably would not wear in RL, but, as far as I’m concerned, one should feel good and at ease. Back to the “Snowflake”, on the back it has a gold bow that gives it the touch of colour it needs. Once again, Constanza used the fur. This time around the chest for the last classy and stylish  move. And again, like last year, for free!!! So if you want it just click here and go for your white Christmas Dress.

The Good Ghost Dress of Future Christmas

I wonder what will happen next year. Above all: will I still be on SL? Will I have a new Christmas Dress for the balls??? If I do stay on the metaverse then I hope so, and as they say  here, “Third time is a charm”. So Constanza, I’m counting on you for next Christmas Dress.

Fashion and virtual greetings
