Mischief No More.... Waaahhhh! *sniffle*

Ok... I see it has been a month since my last post. Things have gotten busy at work, and I've been dragging myself home most evenings just to go brain dead by watching something on Hulu. Such are the joys of working in the tourism business! Everyone else goes on vacation, while you work your butt off making sure they have a wonderful and relaxing time. lol

Also, for a while there, there just weren't any offerings that I felt so in love with that I wanted to blog. With the coming of summer to the northern half of the world, it seemed like it was bikini this and tankini that! Not to say there weren't, and aren't, some wonderful offerings in swimsuit world (there are!)... they just don't excite me enough to take time to write about them.

But, with today's temperatures here rendering it too warm for my poor computer to let me go in-world, I figured it was time to bring you some good news and some bad news.

First, the bad news... one of my favorite stores is going to be closing its doors. Mischief will disappear sometime soon, though just how soon has not been specified. Owner Janie Marlowe is reinventing herself, and is working on a new project which will be revealed soon, but the Mischief line of clothes will be going away. :(

Now the good news is, that until Janie closes Mischief's doors for good, she is having an amazing sale! Single items are $L50 or $L100 for the greedy packs, while full outfits and dresses are $L90 individually or get the greedy packs at $L180! I spent more hours and lindens than I care to admit browsing the shelves of Mischief... trying to decide what items I couldn't live without and those that I could. lol Basically, I just wanted to buy pretty much the whole shop!

Here is a small sampling of items that were deemed "must haves"!



This cute midriff shirt is called Clara Belle, and is available as a greedy pack of assorted colors or individually.



An elegant full outfit titled Past Life Pirate.









This outfit shows a combination of the Sweet Shrug with Day Trip.



Another combination of Mischief items... Up Down Skirt with the Tart Halter, both are available in greedy packs, and in the case of the skirt, available singly.





This pretty little sweater dress is called Tom's Girl, available singly or as a greedy pack. I love the playfully sophisticated touch that the scarf adds to the ensemble. A bit retro, but fully modern...





The sweet and sexy Annabelle is available singly in three different colors or as a greedy pack. The clothing comes in different layers, so that you can wear it with or without the flowered underskirt and top.



The aptly named Lil Skin dress is available as a greedy pack of mouth watering colors.



And last, but hardly least, one of my all-time favorite wardrobe items... Lucie. This dress I've actually had for sometime, but I wanted to show it because it is the dress that started my love affair with Mischief. It also seems to be a guy magnet! I tend to get more propositions when I wear this than anything else in my extensive wardrobe. Now that might be a good or a bad thing, depending on your mood and/or point of view! ;)

I told you I bought out the store! hehe... Actually, I didn't show everything I got! In addition to Mischief's in-world sale, there is also an ongoing sale of older Mischief items on XLstreet which I blogged earlier here.

I also blogged a bit on Mischief once before here. I believe the Rock Me, Roll Me outfit is still available if you join the Mischief sub-o group at the store, along with the March group gift... though I didn't confirm this, I was in too much of a hurry to get to the racks and spend my linden!





For a non-Mischief related moment, a close-up of Bubbles Clawtooth's amazing new release "Twinkle Toast". It isn't free ($L275 for a color pack), but it is so pretty and touchable looking, I just had to show it off! Color shown is Red-Eye Flight in the Exquisite Reds Pack.

The eyes I am wearing in this close-up are Poetic Colors gift in the GSH (Good Sh** Hunt) going on right now. If you haven't done this hunt, get on it! It isn't very long (40-ish stores), nor are most of the hunt items (soda bottles) fiendishly hidden, and the majority of the prizes are wonderful! The color is called Summer Wheat. I am also wearing Sunny Glade in most of the other photos, which are free to avatars 30 days or younger.

The skin worn in the close-up photo is the Dahlia Skin in the Potpourri make-up, and it is the current group gift from Cupcakes. While the skin itself is free, there is a one-time joining fee of $L100 for the Cupcakes group, but it is worth it! The skins are high quality, and given out monthly. The skin was still in the group notices as of this evening, but will disappear soon! So if you want it, go get it now!

The skin worn in all but the last photo is Pussycat Pale by Mango, Mango! It was the Humpday Happiness offering a couple of weeks back. Mango, Mango's mainstore seems to have moved from the Badblood sim... I'm still trying to locate it, contenting myself with their satellite stores until then.

Follow up on Mango, Mango... I just got a note card today about the main store being in the process of a rebuild. It should be back up soon, but in the meanwhile, if you get a craving for Mango, the satellite stores will be the place to go. ;)

All photos were taken at the MOOC's public photographic studio.

Amacci Hair Sale!

Amacci is having a sale on selected hairstyles! $L35 for single color packs... or a mere $L125 for a fat pack of all Amacci colors. The sale started on June 1st, but the ending date hadn't been decided yet! ;) You might want to head over now, so you can be sure you don't miss it! Just look for the hair vendors marked with a green sales sticker, choose your color (or fat pack for those of you who simply must have it all!), and buy! And 35 little lindens later, you have a great new hairstyle!

Here are some of the styles available...











Some great styles, huh? There are many others to choose from, including styles for the guys. I opted for the reds pack, but there are many other color packs, including tipped!

The skins shown above are Mango, Mango's Dinner Date (first two pictures) and Girl Next Door (next three pictures) skins in pale. They are today's (June 2) Humpday Happiness offerings and are $L69 each. You can choose from three different skin tones, and each come with a freckled and non-freckled version. Very, very pretty skins!

Also, a new month means new monthly group and picks gifts. I swung by My Precious, and picked up the new dress for Prizes for Picks. Like all of My Precious designs, it is of excellent quality and style. The dress even comes with the flirty black lace gloves.



Don't know about Prizes for Picks? Simply go to My Precious, open your profile, find the favorites/picks tab, open it, and hit the "add" button while standing in the store. This should add this store as one of your favorite SL locations. Now... you will have to wait 24 to 48 hours (this is an SL thing... the individual stores have no control over how long it takes the system to update and recognize the addition.) Return to the store after that time, and hit the Prizes for Picks vendor. If the system has updated your picks, you will get your prize! Once added, you won't have the wait period again, unless the store moves to a new location or you remove and then re-add them... and seeing how My Precious changes the Picks dress every month, you'll want to stay!

The Yak is Bak!

Browsing the Flickr photos for the Fab Free blog, I noticed a picture of asian-style furniture submitted by Ashe A of the Freebietelegraph Blog. It reminded me of the items from Yak & Yeti, except... Yak & Yeti had pretty much disappeared from SL a few months back when the sim where their main store was located became a vacant sandy beach...right?

As it turns out, Ashe's picture WAS of Yak & Yeti furniture. The Yak is back at a new and beautiful location. *cue a happy dance here!*

If you haven't ever been to Yak & Yeti, you simply must go. Everything in the store is FREE! Yes, you read that right... it is all free!

They specialize in items, furniture, clothes, and jewelry from India, Nepal, and Tibet.

This is just a small selection of what is available...

Traditional clothing...







To more modern and casual...







This a picture of one of the rooms of the store, showing some of the home furnishings available.



They even had Prayer Flags! So I picked up a set for my home...yes, I know... I live in Lindenville... ;)


All the clothes, jewelry, home furnishings, and henna tattoos available for free at Yak & Yeti. There is a donation jar... please give as generously as you can!
