Hunting For My Inner Naughty Girl

Ok, ok... 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*

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

It is the Facil dress in F**k Me Red from Elymode. 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).

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!

Elymode is the starting point for the Hunt for Your Inner Slut 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.

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 hunt's hints page.

I am also wearing the single fishnet stocking which is part of the HYIS prize from Bazookas.

My fishnet gloves are a new release from Sn@tch. 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 Wasted Glory Fishnet Glove Fatpack is L$150 and can be found on the new release wall.

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.

They are the MESH Desire Ankle Boots by Gos. 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.

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*

While I was setting up to take the above pictures, Rizzo Corset in Pink, the monthly Blacklace 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.

And hey...look! I wrote a blog post! Yay for me! :) Until next time... maybe in another kabillion years, but hopefully sooner.

Ury

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...

Let the Bright Seraphim...

Rejoice! (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)

Yesterday, the folks at Seraphim blog announced that nearly 50 designers had contributed thank you gifts for their inworld group members.

Just join the Seraphim in-world group (free!), head over to their new HQ, 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.

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. And this isn't everything by a long shot!

So here we go....











Shown in the photos above are gifts from (listed in mostly alphabetical order, and forgive me if I miss you!)- Anatomy, Cheeky Pea, croire, Forsaken, Fuzzy Bee, Hysteria, Insanya, Leri Miles Designs, LouLou&Co, Magnifique, Melino Style, Michigans Shack, Mock, Molichino, Oasis Furniture, Razorblade Jacket, STaTUS, Step inSide, The Strawberry Box, TuttiFruitti, Wrong, Es' cusi, SweetAntidote, and alterego.

As you can see, there is a bit of everything... skin, make-up, tattoos, shoes, clothes, furniture, food items, outdoor decor, poses, shapes... even a motorcycle that I didn't show! And I forgot to show the gift from The Sea Hole, but they have one there, too!

So what are you waiting for? Get on it! :)

Finally!

It took some doing, a bit of heartache, and a fair bit of cussing, but here is a look at that wedding gown that I promised you in my post from earlier this evening.



Breathtaking, isn't it? And it comes with two skirt options... a charming, less formal cocktail length...and...


the dramatic full cathedral length train.

The dress comes with the flowered headpiece, so all you have to do is add a pair of white shoes, perhaps some silk stockings, and you will be good to go on your big day.

So, if you have wedding bells in your future, head over to Hello World, join the ARice group (free to join, and a group join board is conveniently located right next to the lucky board), wade into the water (you need to be close to the board as I found out the hard way on a wildcard... thus the cussing!), and wait... Or shell out a few linden (L$250, I think) and buy the dress from the nearby vendor.

Saying Hello at the World's End

World's End Garden has a beautiful gown set out as a grand opening gift at their RMK Gothic Mall location.



Remove the skirt, and it becomes a gorgeous lingerie set. All you have to do is tp on over and pick yours up!


And while you are at the Gothic Mall, head over to Frozen Night, where the beautiful Widow Hat awaits you.


I know it is rather hard to see the details, and my picture doesn't do it justice, but it is lovely, and will be a great addition to your gothy wardrobe!

While wandering around the Gothic Mall, I stumbled across a store with beautiful dresses at very modest prices. 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 Hello World was mine!


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.



It looks so warm and cozy, it makes me want one in rl. :)

While I was looking around the store, I spotted another freebie dress. The flowered Pop Textile Dress is free to everyone... no need to join the group for this one.



It is very lovely, but rather summery... so it may need to go back into my closet until next June!

The shoes are a fatpack dollarbie (well, actually a two dollarbie!) from the Dressing Room. You will have to visit both The Dressing Room and The Dressing Room Blue 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.

My hair is Glitter Party, Clawtooth's offering for the latest Collabor88. 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.

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...

Have a Boo-tiful Halloween

Call it Halloween, All Hallows Eve, Samhain, Night of the Great Pumpkin, or whatever ;), tonight is a night for fun, fantasy, candy, and celebration!

If you are looking for something a bit more exotic and sexier than your normal ghost, witch, superhero, etc.... head over to Helter Skelter, join the update group (free!), and then snag the beautiful Exotic Spice slave girl ensemble in a special halloween edition.



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).

Going wonderfully with these silks, is a gorgeous new hair from Clawtooth! 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!

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!



Be spook-tacular tonight!

Gimme Blacklace!

Ok, something short and sweet... or if you prefer fun sized! (yes, I've Halloween candy on the brain. 'Tis the season after all!)

Speaking of the season, Blacklace lingerie has several Halloween gifts for us. First up is Gimme My Treat, a deliciously decadent set that, aside from the sexy panty and garters, won't go straight to your hips!



To get this charming set, just head over to the Blacklace main store and slap the in-store vendor.

Also, not very far away and completely unhidden is the hunt prize for the Pumpkin Prints hunt (blogged in my previous post). Just look for the pumpkin with the paw print on it.

The next two sets are gifts for the Blacklace group, and can be found in the group notices. There is a one-time fee of L$99 to join, but with gifts like this, it is more than worth a few lindens! Look for the "Join Group" sign in the store, and go from there.

First, the beautiful non-Halloween Elegance set


And then the mischievous Witching Hour (my personal favorite...love the moon charms on the garter bows! And fishnetting...always a hit with me.)


To get these two gifts, join the Blacklace group and then check the past notices.

Taste of SL Hunt

Yikes! I know I've said it before... only this time it is REALLY! long time no post! Like ten months, no post! *shakes head*

Anyway, there is a great hunt going on right now, and the prizes are just too good to miss! It is, of course, the Taste of SL Hunt (probably caught that from the title of this post though, huh?)

The hunt started on October 1 and runs until October 15... so just a couple more days to go. But it is a relatively small hunt (41 stores). I managed to complete the entire hunt in just a few hours.

Now... let's check out my favorite gifts, shall we?

A cute flowered top from Sleeping Koala


From Bounce... the Kate Tank Top and Jeans set

Also shown... the cute glasses from Acid & Mala



You are looking at the shoes now, right? :) They are the prize from Baby Monkey.

Here's a better look at them...


From Pink Outfitters... a military inspired jacket



Sakide is offering the Time for Fall top and skirt as their hunt gift.

And a weird angle making me look like I've got the biggest hand in the world! *wiggles her gigantic fingers at you* Scared? You should be...

This set also comes complete with a pair of clogs... not shown.



From DCNY, the sexy and lush Button Down Shirt in harvest... I love this color!



The delicate padlock heart necklace I've been wearing is the gift from Lacuna It even has a tiny, tiny little key on it.


The giant chess set that I've been posing with is the hunt gift from eXpression

WARNING***WARNING***WARNING***WARNING***WARNING*** The next two images show the prizes from Blacklace, and while they aren't really all that...umm...exposed, at least one of them would not be acceptable to wear in a PG sim! ;)

First up the ToSL gift from Blacklace.





And the gift from the Pumpkin Prints hunt (the hunt targets aren't hidden and they are side by side, so make sure to grab both while you are there)



And if you haven't already done so, pop on over to Poetic Colors and pick up the new free eyes. They are called Autumn Moon, and they are an intriguing mix of golden brown and lavender. And though my picture doesn't show it, there is the reflection of the moon in them.
Poetic Color eyes are the best eyes on the grid IMO, and Lano Ling spoils us all by always having a free gift set out. Thank you Lano!
