I'm Back!

So a thing happened. What is that thing? I turned up inworld.

As always, the first thing I do is go shopping. How can I see what I missed, and what is new, if I don't actually go out there?

As always, I share my finds with you.

I always love dressing up my dark skinned beauty. She may sport lighter tones, or alternative ones, from time to time when I am blogging, but I always bring her back to the darker ones after.

Makeups can be a challenge on these tones. Often lip layers make the tones look cartoony. Happens a lot with the eye makeup as well.

I was pleasantly surprised with these 2 makeup layers.

Added Note - What is a Scalera? It is the part of the eye that shows as white. Often times designers put so much effort into the iris(coloured part) and pupil(black part) that the scalera is rather bland. This can look very stark on darker skin tones. To combat this I wear Scalera Shadows. There are only a few designers I have ever found with the option, for purchasing. Wee Ones is one of the few stores that has them. It is a very simple addition that can really make your new eyes pop. Or not glow in the dark, haha. I'm an eye snob, I know.

I noticed A:S:S: had a bunch of their sky boxes up for grabs, so since I like to shoot with LadyLight in them so often, I decided to share one today with you all.

Want a history lesson from an old, pixilated broad? Newer people often comment on the choice of store name for A:S:S: It obviously stands for something, but what?

Another Shirt Shop. Way back when, guys shirts, and maybe a few other things, were the only product you would have found at A:S:S: Look how far they have come.

Happy Independence Day!

Hi all!  Just a quick post so I can get outside and enjoy the holiday!  I wanted to let you know about several great bargains you can find that are American themed and exclusive for the holiday.  I planned on a longer post but in the interest of time I am going to tell you about a few that I think are not to be missed.  Let's begin with the items in the photos.  Two of my favorite stores, Pididdle and Boom, are offering great gifts; Pididdle has a limited edition "Fireworks" set that includes the Hyperlip makeup in both a teeth and no-teeth version and fantastic nails in 2 sizes.  Boom has a special edition of the Ellio bikini.  It has all clothing layers as well as modifiable prim ties and tan line tattoo layers.  Chop Zuey has group gifts for both men and women.  Women get a Home of the Free set of earrings and men get a awesome ring which are adorned with the American Flag.  I personally love Chop Zuey's male jewelry and it works great when resized.  Chop Zuey is a pay to join group but it has weekly gifts for members and so I've recouped my join cost many times over.  Sanu has a special version of her Candy Corn popsicle for only 1 L.  There are 2 versions, one of normies and another for Petites.  It's in a gift box not far from the lucky chair.  I had to pick up Earthstones specially colored version of Bikini Beads.  I have other colors of these and love them.  They are not free but about 100 L less than the other versions!

BARGAIN TIP:  As I noted above I did not get to show all the things I wanted but there are a few that are outstanding deals from really great folks! Cupcakes is having a great sale today only: Special mesh items and bikinis in a special section are only 10 - 25 L as well as all older clothing in red, white or blue is only 10 L.  There are some great items there.   Also the new Emma line of skin has one version marked down to 50 L.  You will find it in all skin tones.  It's a great face and includes a bare version as well as several makeup options, making this a runaway steal.  I've adored Cupcakes for years and this line has to be one of my favorites.  One skin is free!  The trick is you have to find it.  I will give you a hint because I searched all over for it.  It's not boxed like a hunt item and it's right in there amongst the other Emma skins.  Just think a bit outside of the box and you will find it!

Blah and Drowsy

Much happiness abounds in Edenland upon learning that Bettiepage Voyager has reopened the Drowsy sim and there are gifties! I first read it here at YukaChoco Magic's adorable blog and I squeed at a few friends and TP'd right over.  Here is the skinny on the amazing goodies:  They aren't just sitting out for you to grab.  You are going to have to work for them but anyone I know that knows about BP agrees she is genius and the redesigned sim is a wonder to explore.  You are going to be looking for 8 old leather boxes.  The first one is near where you tp in so you can see what you are looking for.  Drowsy is no-fly so you get to hike around - I ended up under bridges and in caverns but Marleen Vaughn and I divided the search and that made it easier and a lot more fun.  (You can TP each other.)

I ran into Weronika while out and about yesterday and promised her she would be the first to blog the next thing but I also got a notice from Blah about new group gifts and lucky boards so I went to check it out, so I guess I'm a liar, too.  The VIP group is 100 L to join but within a matter of minutes I had scored some new group gift lingerie, a subscriber gift and 2 items from the group only lucky board.  There are also 2 boards for non-members with exclusive items as well as gifts for the non-pay group and subscribers, so I am quite impressed with hOShi Kimono's generosity with customers (and everything comes in tat layers for more bonus!).  All in all, not too bad of a day!  I'm sure with a new month of hunts and the upcoming holiday of luv (hurls), we will be seeing a lot of pink and red.  Bring it.
