The real title should be Hunt for Your Inner Slut, but I figured I'd leave that for the meat of the blog, rather than slam it into the title to try to protect those of more delicate sensibilities. If that ain't you, then read on, mon ami! *grins*
<p>First off, yeah... I haven't blogged anything in about a kabillion years. And I have to admit that there hasn't been anything that I've gotten recently that has inspired me to take the time to blog it.</p> <p>Sure, Ive gotten some wonderful things on hunts and group gifts that have been outstandingly beautiful and that I have loved...but nothing that moved me to the point of taking the time to set up a photo shoot, figure out all the credits and lms, and then sit down to write about it. Nothing! Well... that, and my over-bloated inventory might have something to do with it, too.</p>
<p>Now why did this particular dress finally kick me hard enough to take the time and effort to blog it? While it is as sexy as the day is long (and being Summer the days are pretty long here), it isn't fancy, but it is just amazingly well done.</p> <p>Also, when I popped by to say goodnight to my SO, after not having seen me all day, he gave me a hug, L$10, and instructions that he wanted a good picture of me in the dress. *laughs* I don't recall that ever happening before... there's just something about this dress, I tell ya!</p>
<p>So, since I was already setting up for a little picture taking session, why not blog it? So here ya go... Just click on the pictures to see a larger view.</p>

<p>It is the <i>Facil dress</i> in F**k Me Red from <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/%20Mint%20Tulip/163/63/21/">Elymode</a>. While the dress is very alluring and sexy, it also covers all your pixels, so you can wear it with no issues onto that PG sim... they don't need to know what the name of color is! The dress also comes with a bandeau top option (not shown).</p> <p>Be aware that the skirt attachment is partial MESH, so you will need the appropriate viewer to wear the skirt. This is my first experience with a MESH "garage door style" skirt attachment, and I have to say I am loving it. It was easy to fit, took the dress layers textures beautifully, and it moves with me... no hard prim edge jutting out from my hip as I move!</p>

<p>Elymode is the starting point for the <i><b>Hunt for Your Inner Slut</b></i> which runs from now until Sept. 15, 2012. You will be looking for a butterfly, and the hint is "Don't let this hint STUMP you!". It isn't hard to find, and well worth stopping to pick-up the dress even if you don't wish to do the entire hunt.</p>
<p>The hunt isn't very long at 40-odd stores, but you will need to be age verified since some of the stops will take you into adult sims. Here's a link to the <a href="http://huntforyourinnerslut.wordpress.com/hunt-for-your-inner-slut-hints/">hunt's hints page</a>.</p>
<p>I am also wearing the single fishnet stocking which is part of the HYIS prize from <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Hantai%20/129/62/3005/">Bazookas</a>.</p>
<p>My fishnet gloves are a new release from <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/%20Snatch%20City%20/69/210/29/">Sn@tch</a>. While they aren't free, they match so well with the Elymode dress it is hard to believe that they came from two different designers. The <i>Wasted Glory Fishnet Glove</i> Fatpack is L$150 and can be found on the new release wall.</p>

<p>I hesitate to show you the boots closer, because 1) They aren't free, and 2) This particular color -Vamp- was a special edition for the One Voice Fund Raising Event last month. If it is available in store, I was not able to locate it. But they are exquisite and I want to show them off.</p>
<p>They are the MESH <i>Desire Ankle Boots</i> by <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Gos/177/162/299/">Gos</a>. While the availability of the dark red Vamp color shown is unknown, there are other colors for sale at Gos for L$595 each. There is a change script in the boots, so you have a couple of options for changing up the color of the metal accents.</p> <p>I remember when I was at the One Voice Event, I kept going back and looking at these boots. I must have gone back and looked at them four or five times before finally hitting buy. I'm glad I did... I love them. *smiles*</p>

<p>While I was setting up to take the above pictures, <i>Rizzo Corset</i> in Pink, the monthly <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/%20Alphamale%20and%20Blacklace/110/120/31/">Blacklace</a> group gift, landed in my lap... so I figured... What the heck? Snap a picture of it too, and add it to the blog entry. Blacklace makes some of the finest quality lingerie in SL, and by joining the inworld group, you gain access to monthly group gifts...often one of lingerie and one of make-up. It does cost L$99 to join, but one gift will more than offset the joining fee. Look for the gift in the group notices or look for it at the mainstore.</p>

<p>And hey...look! I wrote a blog post! Yay for me! :) Until next time... maybe in another kabillion years, but hopefully sooner.</p>
<p>Ury</p><p>Hmmm... most of my links aren't working for me. Gos was the only one that let me tp using it. May be my error or SL's. I'll leave them be for the time being... all the stores can be searched for inworld,and Elymode and Bazookas can be reached via the hunt hint page since that link is also working. Sorry about that... maybe I'm rusty...

(sorry... I was a vocal major in college, and always end up with that Handel aria stuck in my head when thinking about the Seraphim group)<br /><br />Yesterday, the folks at Seraphim blog announced that nearly 50 designers had contributed thank you gifts for their inworld group members.<br /><br />Just join the <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Depraved%20Nation/130/86/71">Seraphim in-world group (free!), head over to their new HQ</a>, and start gathering up your goodies! This is the second time that members of the Seraphim group have gotten spoiled recently, so you might want to stay tuned to this group.<br /><br />These aren't my favorite photos that I've ever taken, but I've tried to showcase many of the gifts... keep in mind that everything shown below, EXCEPT for my hair, eyes, shape (in most of the photos), collar, and backgrounds, are free gifts from Seraphim HQ.

Intrigued, I went to the mainstore, and found myself confronted by a wildcard luck board with a beautiful dress as the prize! Quickly, I hit it... Group Only! Oh no! No worries, I'm quick on my feet... I hit the ARice group join board (hoping that I still had a group space open) and joined (for free!). Moments later the lovely Fable dress from <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Cup/46/127/22">Hello World</a> was mine! <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4GDyvlRO-Q1eqtlzkgpnpwJRpQQRKLrVX_u4M-EajzWhHAYUtlGkr6cyZ2UeSZnrI2uY8m4EZGzRc41pqsi2bfSl3xXxxs7YkTO4rErklTXsj7HZRnt3nfgK-9No9iK7gr-iHhq4KL0Ec/s1600/Hello+World-+Fable_001.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 350px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4GDyvlRO-Q1eqtlzkgpnpwJRpQQRKLrVX_u4M-EajzWhHAYUtlGkr6cyZ2UeSZnrI2uY8m4EZGzRc41pqsi2bfSl3xXxxs7YkTO4rErklTXsj7HZRnt3nfgK-9No9iK7gr-iHhq4KL0Ec/s400/Hello+World-+Fable_001.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5675458327701595186" /></a><br /><br />While still basking in the glow of my good luck, I noticed the group gift board just to the right of it, and snagged (bad choice of words when talking about knitted items) the soft and very cuddly Sheep Knit Sweater in turquoise. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizolGy4uf_5KG_hWAWZ2fHzrW2vUOlNz10aQzvZhTV-vjuQgSHyeeTUjcrSopH9GFiFT7I3WUtGZ7rON9xwwbVX9mpv_fVTiQjy2Jf2rzyOqUH8IRJkot0WaOgXN74aB60orybmqTPPJgy/s1600/Hello+World-+Sheep+Knit_001.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 342px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizolGy4uf_5KG_hWAWZ2fHzrW2vUOlNz10aQzvZhTV-vjuQgSHyeeTUjcrSopH9GFiFT7I3WUtGZ7rON9xwwbVX9mpv_fVTiQjy2Jf2rzyOqUH8IRJkot0WaOgXN74aB60orybmqTPPJgy/s400/Hello+World-+Sheep+Knit_001.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5675459856489088082" /></a> <br /><br />It looks so warm and cozy, it makes me want one in rl. :)<br /><br />While I was looking around the store, I spotted another freebie dress.

You will have to visit both <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/This%20Way/30/154/23">The Dressing Room</a> and <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Mimikri/214/51/22">The Dressing Room Blue</a> to get these shoes... one stop has just the right foot shoes, the other has just the left foot shoes. They aren't hard to find at either location (in plain sight at the landing point) and well worth the two trips. The flowers on them are even color change, so you have lots of options to mix and match. Also, grab the halloween dollarbie version nearby at The Dressing Room Blue location. I'm not sure how long these shoes will be out, so if you like them, go get them, because they will likely be gone when The Dressing Room Blue changes.<br /><br />My hair is Glitter Party, Clawtooth's offering for the latest <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Tails/75/134/889">Collabor88</a>. While it isn't free, it is only L$88 per color pack. Collabor88 showcases a variety of designers, who offer specially discounted items at the price of... you guessed it!... $L88.<br /><br />Oh... and I might also mention, there is another group lucky board at Hello World. It is somewhat hidden in the recessed water feature in the center of the store, but if you are fortunate enough to hit your letter, the stunning Pure Wedding gown will be yours. I'm still waiting on mine... even as we speak! If I get lucky and manage to grab one, I'll post it here. In the meantime, I'll wait. Just like I'm waiting for the proverbial Mister Right. *sighs* Just kidding!... kinda...<br /><br />Other credits:<br />Poses- <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Festivale/58/39/26">LAP</a>, <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Tupai%20Island/127/61/24">Everglow</a>, <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Bon%20Voyage/50/10/877">SLC</a>, <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Hide%20and%20Seek/64/199/28">Olive Juice</a>, <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Reek/178/209/23">Exposeur</a> (past gifts)<br />Eyes- <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Strata/78/195/903">Poetic Colors</a> (free gift... rotates regularly)<br />Skin- <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Laqroki/154/52/30">LAQ</a>(not free)<br />Collar- <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/PixelFashion/128/128/2">PixelFashion</a> (not free)<br />Rose Leggings- <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Etherea/110/76/1366">Purplemoon</a> (not free)Urydice Opterahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05495133745335174756noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4785200368869297472.post-4458734875802592162011-10-31T15:37:00.000-07:002011-10-31T19:17:53.134-07:00Have a Boo-tiful HalloweenCall it Halloween, All Hallows Eve, Samhain, Night of the Great Pumpkin, or whatever ;), tonight is a night for fun, fantasy, candy, and celebration!<br /><br />If you are looking for something a bit more exotic and sexier than your normal ghost, witch, superhero, etc.... head over to <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Oculea/31/56/31">Helter Skelter</a>, join the update group (free!), and then snag the beautiful Exotic Spice slave girl ensemble in a special halloween edition.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXB6uhys2tntmgb5pKZ5RttN3589qbkcArx8mFg6b2A8vWNXIccpcFBcmHAsMocQtERb0oDJ7AkQMe_uLy-PLXpSFedFa0N86LKp4ZINcgUjXh391w4tf8TwQPz3l5B0GQSnxeCwnCh8ml/s1600/Boo-tiful+Halloween2_001.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 301px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXB6uhys2tntmgb5pKZ5RttN3589qbkcArx8mFg6b2A8vWNXIccpcFBcmHAsMocQtERb0oDJ7AkQMe_uLy-PLXpSFedFa0N86LKp4ZINcgUjXh391w4tf8TwQPz3l5B0GQSnxeCwnCh8ml/s400/Boo-tiful+Halloween2_001.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5669791867637224082" /></a><br /><br />The top is actually semi-sheer (I created a bit of masking on an undershirt layer just for modesty purposes while I was collecting LMs for this post). <br /><br />Going wonderfully with these silks, is a gorgeous new hair from <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Tableau/234/146/23">Clawtooth</a>! It is called Modern Gibson, and while it isn't free, I just couldn't help but show it off... I've been waiting on a well done Gibson Girl style for sometime now. Muriel's had a lovely one, but unfortunately, it hasn't been available since the store closed up a couple of years back. *pout* An early alt of mine has it, but I wanted one for me, doggone it!<br /><br />I'd considered sending Bubbles Clawtooth a picture of it, and begging (on hands and knees if need be) to have something similar made. Fortunately, it didn't come to that... Bubbles heard my prayer (and if I read the notecard correctly... the prayers of others who DID get around to requesting a gibson girl style), and because Bubbles loves us all... voila!... we now have not one, but two!, gibson girl styles to choose from. The second is called More, More, More and has a bit of a 1940's flair to it. To see More, More, More, you will just have to go to Bubbles' store and check it out. ;) Big muah to Bubbles... you've made me a very happy (gibson) girl!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitR9l32A35L-s9kl2cuF_7hlPmsn0ltFkKBdAPzWQi0E7f24he3sRb8PhBxTOfhLcmjNQohTQc1INZHvC8_5R1Hwn9ANMRkPke9TaLIF1Y0-_1g6R3VfHurNfNMMjetX6-rye7VoSOHFHO/s1600/Boo-tiful+Halloween_001.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 301px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitR9l32A35L-s9kl2cuF_7hlPmsn0ltFkKBdAPzWQi0E7f24he3sRb8PhBxTOfhLcmjNQohTQc1INZHvC8_5R1Hwn9ANMRkPke9TaLIF1Y0-_1g6R3VfHurNfNMMjetX6-rye7VoSOHFHO/s400/Boo-tiful+Halloween_001.png" border="0" http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifalt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5669797611349222482" /></a><br /><br />Be spook-tacular tonight!<br /><br />Other credits-<br />Poses- Body Language, Manifique Poses- past gifts<br />Skin- LAQ (Phoebe2- not free)<br />Lipstick- <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Amacci/142/120/23">Amacci</a> (Jenny- Nutmeg lip tattoo- part of free skin pack in subscribo history)<br />Manicure- <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/The%20Wash/223/72/24">La Bohome</a> (past gift)<br />Mask- <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Eagles%20Rave/207/143/25">Dedalo</a> (not free)<br />Eyes- <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Strata/79/237/903">Poetic Colors</a> (free, blogged previously)<br />Earrings- <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Blackmount/8/113/706">Primalot</a> (Hortensia- past gift)<br />Collar and cuffs- Earthstones (not free)Urydice Opterahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05495133745335174756noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4785200368869297472.post-15645099998503866392011-10-26T12:38:00.000-07:002011-10-26T14:40:17.338-07:00Gimme Blacklace!Ok, something short and sweet... or if you prefer fun sized!

I know I've said it before... only this time it is REALLY! long time no post! Like ten months, no post! *shakes head*<br /><br />Anyway, there is a great hunt going on right now, and the prizes are just too good to miss! It is, of course, the <a href="http://tasteofsl.blogspot.com/p/tosl-hunt-hunt-hints.html">Taste of SL Hunt</a> (probably caught that from the title of this post though, huh?) <br /><br />The hunt started on October 1 and runs until October 15... so just a couple more days to go.

Like many dance clubs, they had themed costume nights. This was my entry for the "Best in Green" night. I'm not sure what spirit of creativity possessed me to pull this look together (I'm usually far less adventurous with my looks!), but I loved it enough to save it as an outfit in my inventory, something I rarely do. If I recall correctly, I also won the costume prize that night, and it prompted this memorable quip from Dare Munro, "Look! It is the Great Gazoo's hot cousin!"<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDPaRJiWJWCNNg3ZO4q1DsdIX4qUtedTn2OLbdEfvacdNlXIrYKhhjqUncoNkvXy6E7OOFiVbW3QoC22RL2yhoEDv9JmH2F-Z0VQWP2lpYixtXvfsC3XQcrXQnWdR33CILd8fGhYlBd3AX/s1600/Gazoocrop.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 311px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDPaRJiWJWCNNg3ZO4q1DsdIX4qUtedTn2OLbdEfvacdNlXIrYKhhjqUncoNkvXy6E7OOFiVbW3QoC22RL2yhoEDv9JmH2F-Z0VQWP2lpYixtXvfsC3XQcrXQnWdR33CILd8fGhYlBd3AX/s400/Gazoocrop.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5567531217816231218" /></a><br /><br />Like I said, Penance was short-lived, but came at a point in my life when I was very lonely and depressed. The hours I spent there taught me to laugh again, sometimes to the point of tears, and I took away a number of friendships with the regulars there, and many, many memories that still can make me laugh today.<br /><br />I'm putting up more photos than usual, just because I was having fun snapping them and couldn't choose a favorite among them. You can also see that I started playing with the windlight presets, and enjoying the different effects that they gave to the scene. None of these photos have been processed in anyway save for cropping, and are as they appeared inworld.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqY_ttlM38qhiHJIXAOGKgO20i5FwbyDGYjy_R5jYLMw7nFU2h7wO3Sh1AHt69Xxip1OhqIQY4M4hydr-f0gguO4AzcrOyceZ0jhaBViveXkcODIOtEQBxC6WKZlqbhmB5K45m92dSw7WO/s1600/Gazoo2crop.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 323px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqY_ttlM38qhiHJIXAOGKgO20i5FwbyDGYjy_R5jYLMw7nFU2h7wO3Sh1AHt69Xxip1OhqIQY4M4hydr-f0gguO4AzcrOyceZ0jhaBViveXkcODIOtEQBxC6WKZlqbhmB5K45m92dSw7WO/s400/Gazoo2crop.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5567531559171958994" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtGH1Ve6hRUFv5hFAf7ACk96rX4t0G8aBnCpXzAYAvv85vu0tvh54rSyWdv_EEXMhNALc1dgJ_Gsydu67W1JdI88kHS_E_-_OqNyAIubauPzdk-Hs9saivUxp52y9YiT51OlnI1hNG-m6t/s1600/Gazoo3crop.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 311px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtGH1Ve6hRUFv5hFAf7ACk96rX4t0G8aBnCpXzAYAvv85vu0tvh54rSyWdv_EEXMhNALc1dgJ_Gsydu67W1JdI88kHS_E_-_OqNyAIubauPzdk-Hs9saivUxp52y9YiT51OlnI1hNG-m6t/s400/Gazoo3crop.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5567531792428468642" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQL8Zgsok5TAMuZam_KepdHsnYgFC79HiqItu2yPtnTu8fW4SexH1xS5kB83JtXtmMeLnpEVMkzXwxD75-bpAeoKctAaujiwpONJ8DWgRatl71lIa0pi8Gi_j_80FrWmqGSBcWqcIhTuPh/s1600/Gazoo4crop.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 391px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQL8Zgsok5TAMuZam_KepdHsnYgFC79HiqItu2yPtnTu8fW4SexH1xS5kB83JtXtmMeLnpEVMkzXwxD75-bpAeoKctAaujiwpONJ8DWgRatl71lIa0pi8Gi_j_80FrWmqGSBcWqcIhTuPh/s400/Gazoo4crop.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5567531984632248882" /></a><br />Hmmm...

I wasn't sure that I was up to it, and I'm sure there will be weeks that I will miss due to RL duties or just not being able to come up with something that I am happy with in that week's color.<br /><br />But without further delay, here is my submission for taupe...<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlFJJ_r-Ae2_FMTK2IwIWSHDLtI5YlJ2CQbcaCScVCc7talMCTc4c6RGIYD2f5h8ouRlLdA5iVN8hTVgCAhQddmkgbUvB4OvI2Dg4JI7jBdzsOcRPvaIMM6kL9XZPTBS9Du7Xj4lhpf00_/s1600/Taupecrop.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 367px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlFJJ_r-Ae2_FMTK2IwIWSHDLtI5YlJ2CQbcaCScVCc7talMCTc4c6RGIYD2f5h8ouRlLdA5iVN8hTVgCAhQddmkgbUvB4OvI2Dg4JI7jBdzsOcRPvaIMM6kL9XZPTBS9Du7Xj4lhpf00_/s400/Taupecrop.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5567069217233608386" /></a><br /><br />Credits:<br /><br />Eyes- Poetic Color- Blue Autumn (past gift, current free color Moroccan Night)<br /><a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Strata/79/237/903">http://slurl.com/secondlife/Strata/79/237/903</a><br /><br />Skin- Mango, Mango!- Honey Bee- pale (not free)<br /><a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Bad%20Blood/186/233/26">http://slurl.com/secondlife/Bad%20Blood/186/233/26</a><br /><br />Hair- D!va- Akane (group gift... other group gifts and lucky chairs available, also)<br /><a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/CalanDiva/201/137/35">http://slurl.com/secondlife/CalanDiva/201/137/35</a><br /><br />Taupe Blouse- Pavement Princess (free for Taupe Week which ends 1/28)<br /><a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Faith%20In%20Destiny/201/70/22">http://slurl.com/secondlife/Faith%20In%20Destiny/201/70/22</a><br /><br />Tank- Jane- Intrinsic Tank Tops (free fat pack.

Miss Shellbee is soon to undergo chemo and radiation treatments, and may be sporting the bald look as a result. Fortunately, her cancer was caught early, and she has been given a good prognosis.<br /><br />I felt compelled to take part in this challenge having lost so many to this wretched disease. I lost my mother 18 years ago... I still miss her. Even my beloved companion animals have not been spared. <br /><br />Then there are those I know currently in the fight... Linda, my co-worker, who bought herself a necklace the other day because she decided that she was, in fact, going to beat her cancer and live. And my ex-mother-in-law who has been putting up a miraculous fight for over ten years! This is about nine and half years after having been given a six months to live prognosis... even her doctors are astounded. :)<br /><br />And for my young friend Elijah, who at the tender age of 14, was diagnosed with brain cancer, and beat it!<br /><br />So, this is for all of them, and so many others.<br /><br />~My apologies for the lack of focus of free items in this posting, but I wanted a specific look, and so, a number of items were purchased outright as a result.~<br /><br />Credits~<br /><br />Bald base- <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Amacci/178/128/24">Amacci</a> (on sale $L85 until jan. 16th.

I just completed the hunt last night, and all I can say is, "Wow! These are hunt prizes?"<br /><br />The hunt started Dec. 15 and runs until Jan. 15th, so you have plenty of time yet to complete it. There are approximately 92 stores participating, and while there is no hint list or group for this hunt, a master list of the stores and lm's is available on the <a href="http://newsfromtheloft.wordpress.com/gothmas-by-gaslight-2010-master-list/">News from the Loft</a> blog. That way if you get really, really stuck, you can just head off to the next stop! <br /><br />You will be searching for a small tarnished silver bell decorated with a sprig of holly. Dare and Axi had requested that the bells not be re-sized, though I noticed that a few vendors had done so, and also that the bells be located no further than 30 meters from the landing point/hunt sign... again, a few were located a bit further than that, but the hunt blog does a good job of pointing out such anomalies.<br /><br />And now, just a little teaser of two of the prizes from the hunt...<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvRNAX9znNg4dzZrPmKXkYyV4mDjRmndB1x5DoVNOrB0A-KV5AZiR01CydYH1EuaPjtP2eKv1CRCH5dPZrzQrBpNc2FzzcUGK2OOi3Z_xod1Juvn6TmtwVV3bgkVYv9sjcm4NddazdBTvR/s1600/Gothmas-Red+Devilcrop_001.png"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 392px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvRNAX9znNg4dzZrPmKXkYyV4mDjRmndB1x5DoVNOrB0A-KV5AZiR01CydYH1EuaPjtP2eKv1CRCH5dPZrzQrBpNc2FzzcUGK2OOi3Z_xod1Juvn6TmtwVV3bgkVYv9sjcm4NddazdBTvR/s400/Gothmas-Red+Devilcrop_001.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5558623516762429106" /></a><br /><br />The latex ballerina dress is the prize from <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/RoYaL%20LiFe%202/224/214/22">Red Devil Inc</a>. (also includes a male prize!). It is just stunning, and even comes with the pair of matching ballet boots I am wearing. Really...you need this!<br /><br />The necklace is the <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Caledon%20Cape%20Wrath/11/174/31">Amaranthus</a> prize, and if you click on it, it opens to reveal a small vial of blood. Perfect for a little pick-me-up for those of you of the fanged crowd! I know the necklace doesn't show terribly well in this photo, but trust me, it is darkly beautiful.<br /><br />The skin is the Christmas group gift from <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Holidays/92/132/26">Natural Beauty</a> (formerly Tic Toc). Check the notices or grab the box next to the group-join sign while wearing group tag. <br /><br />The hair is one of Amacci's hair bases and attachment sets. It wasn't free, but <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Amacci/159/125/23">Amacci</a> is having a killer sale right now! All their hair styles are on sale for $L85 per color pack. Fat packs are $L295. <br /><br />Also having a sale until the Jan. 16th is <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Hide%20and%20Seek/57/208/28">Olive Juice</a>. Almost everything is discounted by 50% to 75%. The pose shown is from their recent release Willkommen: Burlesque pack which was only $L60! <br /><br />The photo was taken in the graveyard of <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Dark%20Eternity/167/129/31">Dark Eternity Island</a>.<br /><br />Check back soon!

It would have been funny, if it hadn't taken me over an hour of research, debugging, clearing and reloading my substanial cache, and other assorted attempts to correct my... please forgive my swedish (chef)... borked avatar. <br /><br />Finally, I was able to fix the issue by downloading Viewer2 (I'm normally a Phoenix user), and getting at my avatar that way. I was able to put my shape, skin and eyes back on. I must say that I really didn't like the interface of Viewer2, but I was a bit agitated at the time. Perhaps I'll go back and take a look at it again when my patience isn't already worn thin. But at any rate, I was grateful that I was able to pull myself back together again in Viewer2, and when I went back in-world in Phoenix, everything was fine. Yay!<br /><br />Now... onto a few last holiday goodies...<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQBKOoWY_vxc2nyy_hKp74QatOLxahP6A4NiB-jbw43eqxw46lbl-d8s4JAyMMdrt7ycL0jbO49YTmLk7y6hGfPWCAeuCLNqU6u1HOkSMq_WCigJXl3HsHb7QITxqSyQt9S0NZVOoWk7z0/s1600/Christmas_crop.png"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 164px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQBKOoWY_vxc2nyy_hKp74QatOLxahP6A4NiB-jbw43eqxw46lbl-d8s4JAyMMdrt7ycL0jbO49YTmLk7y6hGfPWCAeuCLNqU6u1HOkSMq_WCigJXl3HsHb7QITxqSyQt9S0NZVOoWk7z0/s400/Christmas_crop.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5554780036288864546" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPNRuoBztkTzk1cjyDyKi_9PFc_l-f8eqTWbwyOMONi4PibZfPxYl-FfWQ8FWoJ6NjGAOENz9-0nB_Sqs7R42Bu7eewmwScp1dcPlPs_8bf7T6i3cjNchuIQULNJpQOGVWYgigNt62gKFG/s1600/Christmasface_crop.png"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 322px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPNRuoBztkTzk1cjyDyKi_9PFc_l-f8eqTWbwyOMONi4PibZfPxYl-FfWQ8FWoJ6NjGAOENz9-0nB_Sqs7R42Bu7eewmwScp1dcPlPs_8bf7T6i3cjNchuIQULNJpQOGVWYgigNt62gKFG/s400/Christmasface_crop.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5554780223745331522" /></a><br />Credits:<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Eyes</span>- <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Strata/80/240/903">Poetic Colors</a>- Christmas Dreams- free in eye vendor<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Skin</span>- <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Feel%20Beautiful/102/119/23">YS & YS</a>- Group Gift under tree (three presents here! skin, boots (shown), and jewelry (not shown)- Wear your group tag ~note skin not freckled, but freckle tattoo layer is included!<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Hair and Hat</span>- <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Truth%20Hair/113/35/27">Truth</a>- subscribo gift (yay!

Talk about an embarrassment of riches!<br /><br />But here's a couple of quickies at any rate.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVcQkPOEpfCRWF16wodpGiaoTs7K1p1B-ig5mJfLuxmR2aX3NyDJ9Jm-vwHZ4ubhdj4fgCBM_bKgpdfUqTH4daZFFYVVbcs0ScACHaAweGiqDLQKS9NuVEwphORsIr8aHbXZSineyqLOR4/s1600/White+Roses-+fullcrop_001.png"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 165px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVcQkPOEpfCRWF16wodpGiaoTs7K1p1B-ig5mJfLuxmR2aX3NyDJ9Jm-vwHZ4ubhdj4fgCBM_bKgpdfUqTH4daZFFYVVbcs0ScACHaAweGiqDLQKS9NuVEwphORsIr8aHbXZSineyqLOR4/s400/White+Roses-+fullcrop_001.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5554019176863425282" /></a><br /><br />Everything in these first two photos with the exception of the eyes and shape (my personal) was free. The sheer White Roses dress and matching hairpiece are from Fellini Couture, and can be found under the Christmas tree on the <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Rue%20DAntibes/210/15/28">Rue d'Antibes</a> sim. There are a lot of other gifts under that tree, including this hair from Calico Ingmann. The fatpack of hair is festooned with scripted Christmas lights (including a mouth attachment) so you can change the light colors or decide to go sans lights like I did. Don't miss this hair...it is a wonderful gift! I love all the little whispies framing the face. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8_ZjMOr3DpzTTe9tDuO8hE_UT1maoauWUXTYrQXju9fMRPXFybDNi7mq_5OK7YeifAfs_VHyRNsJNlIsknyIfk0ymOD3i6Cm_Juw_lVNIEGEV3e5U4Fh0OJ47LhWXJdmrAGPsfb6q43Pt/s1600/White+Roses_crop.png"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 311px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8_ZjMOr3DpzTTe9tDuO8hE_UT1maoauWUXTYrQXju9fMRPXFybDNi7mq_5OK7YeifAfs_VHyRNsJNlIsknyIfk0ymOD3i6Cm_Juw_lVNIEGEV3e5U4Fh0OJ47LhWXJdmrAGPsfb6q43Pt/s400/White+Roses_crop.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5554019427148558002" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />This pretty Chinese-inspired dress is a group gift from <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/SHIKI%20VILLAGE5/170/173/21">Lika*Ruby</a>. The group is free to join, and if you are new to the group, you will also receive a welcome gift of a charming black and white dress in a similar style.

Right now until the end of the month, <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Tableau/46/83/27">Clawtooth</a> is having a half off sale of everything (excluding discounted items and fatpacks) in the store, including new releases! That is a mere $L137 per color pack! This style is called Louise Brooks, and I am wearing the Red-eye-flight from the Exquisite Reds pack. I love how Bubbles has shaped the back... many moons ago, I wore my hair in a very similar style and loved it! I'm a big fan of Clawtooth's hair, and all I can say, is half-price sale or not, Bubbles Clawtooth took me for a lot of lindens last night! *shakes fist in mock anger*<br /><br />The skin is from <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Japan%20Resort/137/207/22">Heaven's Gate</a> (no relation to the infamous comet cult!), a store that is completely new to me. From what I can tell, everything is free there, including this skin which is a pretty sepia-toned goth skin. I am wearing it in all three of the photos... it just looks different because I was playing around with the Windlight settings! <br /><br />Some of the gifts will require that you join the group, or be a new player (30 days or younger), but even if you don't fit those requirements, there are still plenty to choose from. There are even some skins for the guys, a pack of eyes, AO's, and a few clothes. These are nice quality skins, and it looks like most of the skins come with shapes and eyebrow shapers. <br /><br />Also, grab the Christmas gift as you enter the store... it is the little gingerbread man on the lower right side of the entrance.

The four hunts each contain one part of the complete Magic Mushroom Tattoo, but if you find all four of the hunt prizes, copy down your transaction history from local chat and paste it into a notecard. Follow the rest of the instructions contained in the notecard that comes with each of the hunt prizes, and you will be sent the complete Magic Mushroom tattoo in several color and black intensities... plus it will be put all together, so you don't have to try and layer four different layers just to wear the complete tattoo. Pretty clever, huh?

I wasn't going to blog it due to that reason, but I love it so much that I just had to! So, grab that poor hapless newbie player (the outfit is unisex!) you've taken under your wing, and bring them on over to Silent Sparrow. Or make your own minty fresh alt, and grab it yourself! True, it isn't transferable, but your new alt will have a killer new outfit! <br /><br />The second outfit is available to everyone as far as I can tell, and is from the Silent Sparrow kiosk at the <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Powder%20Mill/83/144/64">Gnubie Store</a>.

While I rarely wear them any longer, the Eloh skins served me well when I was still finding my way in SL, and I remember them fondly and still have them in my inventory.<br />If you haven't been to the Gnubie Store in awhile, perhaps it is time for a second look!

It grieves me to say, she didn't make it. That little cat meant more to me than I can say. She was my companion, my friend, even in someways, my child. <br /><br />She was born on my kitchen floor in June of 1996... tiny, blind, pink, and helpless. Dried off, she turned out to be covered in fine white hair. Fast forward a couple of weeks later, she began to develop the tell-tale dark nose and ears indicating a Siamese heritage. While not a pure-bred by any means, she grew into the prettiest little Himalayan wannabee you could have imagined with the biggest, darkest blue eyes I've ever seen. <br /><br />Despite her small size, weighing in at only perhaps seven or eight pounds, she had a completely out sized personality and attitude. She was also intensely shy... had you come to my house, chances were good you would have never seen her... unless you looked under the bed.<br /><br />Though never a snuggler, she was affectionate... sleeping next to me, or sometimes, perched on my hip. She had the ability to make me laugh, charming me into petting her with those giant blue eyes.<br /><br />She died October 7th, and left a hole in my heart and my world. <br /><br />This post is just a small way of letting the world know that once there was a beautiful little cat named Fritzi, and that she was, and is, greatly beloved by me. <br /><br />I miss you, Baby, and love you so very, very much. Wherever you are, be happy and be at peace.<br /><br />Now to make a clumsy transition to SL fashion...<br /><br />I only started venturing back in world yesterday, but I did find a few goodies (nothing like hunting down free or cheap fashion to distract the mind). It is just one look, and I'm not going to say too much about it.

If you've followed my blog at all, you will know that I usually go with the pale and red-headed look, so the darker, latin-look of the Inka skins are a bit of a change for me. But they are really pretty, and change is good... or so I have been told.<br /><br />The skin I am wearing is one of the Nina skins, and as of this posting, is $L10 for a pack of six make-ups. However, it was supposed to go up to regular price yesterday, and the owner (Inka Mexicola)is in the store as I write this... so I wouldn't be surprised if the price changes here shortly. If it hasn't, there is another skin line called Barbie right next to the vendor for Nina, and it too, is currently $L10. There are also some group gifts, and a picks reward skin available. These skins are very nice quality, and very glamorous. Definitely worth checking out, even for a normally translucent girl, such as myself.<br /><br />The photos were taken on the new <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Viana%20Square/32/58/1486">Heartsick</a> sim... I wanted a fall look and remembered it was a beautiful build. However, it proved to be a bit challenging... unbeknownest to me, Heartsick is having a mini-hunt! So, I had to time the photo snaps between hunters roaming through the background. I haven't seen the prizes yet, but there are 13 little ghosts scattered about the sim, each cost a $L1... but knowing Heartsick's quality, I am sure they are wonderful!<br /><br />Credits:<br /><br />Skin- Nina- <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Diamond%20Cove/154/33/23">Inka</a> (currently $L10 for a pack of six make-ups.
