Just had a Terminator night! Back-to-back!! Woo hoo!! I need a superhero now...

Beautiful, beautiful dress here, by 25ans, exclusive to group members! I love the girly dusty pink color on this dress! I matched it with the Enamel Buckle Gladiator heels! You can get the special purple edition for only $200L (don't gasp yet, it was $580L), I couldn't resist a great bargain so I went over to get them. The HUD was straight-forward and easy to use, I adjusted to my skin color in seconds, plus they look fab!!

WALPURGISNACHT!!!

When Dare dropped a folder on me labeled "Walporgis", I was like dood, how the hell do you pronounce it?!! Of course Sasy cracked up, "You don't blog in voice silly!" Point taken but still, I like to know shit :P



The upshot is this: Dare Designs is having a hunt for 48 hours. The prizes are amazing, ranging from clothes, to jewelry, to the most incredible monobike I have ever seen.



I'll copy some of the card to you : WALPURGISNACHT!!! (otherwise known as Beltane for us Pagans...)

It is traditional to celebrate the coming of spring and the renewal of life with fires... bonfires and passion's flames, actually... and to honor this tradition I've laid out a Hunt for the two nights of Walpurgisnacht (48 hours, actually).

There are twelve balefire prizes to find, roughly half hidden in the store(s), the other half spread throughout the sim. Since Walpurgisnacht is Halloween in spring, there's a trick to finding these treats - you'll need to look high and low, watch for secret doors and passages, and check all the spooky corners. The prizes are numbered, though - so you'll know when you've found all 12.

The hunt begins midnight tonight and will end midnight, May 1st. (I may extend it if enough Hunters need the time)

Just so you know what you're looking for - the first balefire prize object is VERY easy to find.

- <3>



Dare would prefer actual locations of the prizes aren't given out, but for hints or hunt discussion, feel free to join the Dare Designs Signature Members Group. That means no slurl lists and no cheat sheets.



As always, every outfit is detailed, several layers for different looks and hawt, lets not foget the hawt :P



This last outfit, I know Kenlee's gonna try to pry out of my pixel hands, it's so very her!! I may make an exchange, her soul for the outfit.......seems fair!! Ash Out.

Feather Afro: Mayamaya (1L)

Anuenue have closed down the old group and created a new one called NoKMaK which combines the NOAR and Anuenue stores. They have new gifts in store, this beautiful dress, the textures look almost embroidered with lace. To receive this join the group, the group joiner is in the store, and then touch the sign with the dress.

Just as I was about to finish this post, YAY I won the Glitter hair which is on the lucky board at Anuenue. These prettyful dresses are free gifts at DCNY and the skin is a preview of the new Sookie skins at Cyanide, subscribomatic group gift. I spotted these dresses and skin on the http://running.slmame.com/e604048.html blog which I just discovered today.

Fishie Fishie Fun and More!

So..I love 7Seas fishing. Someone should make a blog exclusively documenting 7Seas exclusive awesome prizes if there isn't one already. I would follow that for sure. Newly added to the places with beyond awesome fishing prizes is Passionate Neko Dreams. The fishing is on through May 3rd, so if you want the prizes you have to hustle! There are adorable fish friends that swim around you, a bath tub boat, and then....this entire outfit!!!!! Skirt, shirt, socks, necklace, everything. It's so gorgeous. It reminds me of how I used to dress in high school before I got lazy :P it was really easy to catch too. I was there for all of two minutes and got it haha. Go fish!

Next, I have some randoms for you. This skirt if a group gift from Izumiya. It can be worn with or without the chains. Yay for plaid (or tartan as some of you folks call it)! The bangles are part of a mega fatpack that was just given out by Sprawl. So many color combos and who doesn't love bangles?? Always more bangles I say. The hair is an amsomely cute lucky chair prize from TekuTeku (who also has a 1L opening ice cream gifty you should grab before it's gone!!). There are also past hair freebies at TekuTeku you should grab if you haven't already. OH! And the fairy came in a notecard I got from Passionate Neko's subscribo so go see if you can get it redelivered!!

Pants on Rfyre

From the lucky chair at House of Rfyre. How quality is this?




This is Betrothed, a men's set that is usually sold for 800l. The chair is currently bethronged - sure, that's a word - by guys slavering over this. Can't blame them, as it comes complete with this velveted top hat and this white shirt with a black shirt option too. And the brocade detail on this great coat is just amazing, and if a full length tail isn't your thing then you are in luck as you also get a short version too. Even if this isn't your standard style of dress, you still need this in your inventory.

It's an hour changeover time on the chair so take some mates and check out the pretty goth girls floating past. Who knows, in a suit this fine you may even have a chance with them.

Blogger Challenge: Let's Get Artsy!

After having fun with a few blogger challenges issued by such talented bloggers like the lovely Achariya and Sasy, I've been chewing on some ideas for a fun new theme. While noming on said thoughts, I happened to stumble into the store Wine and Roses. I'm currently in the market for a few nice pieces to fill La Casa de GG & Adaire after he spoiled me with a brand new skybox.

And...there in the shop was a lucky chair! And...it had my letter on it! And...I got this awesome vase! It's such a pretty vase, and I really wanted to show it on the blog, and then I thought...why not make a blogger challenge to incorporate one of the many pieces of beautiful art around the grid in a post? Understandably, the fashion blogs focus on fashion, but I think art can be quite fashionable in its own sense and worth celebrating!

I'm hoping some of those in the bloggosphere have a favorite sculpture, painting, artsy piece of furniture, or anything that creators in SL can dream up to express themselves and feel like sharing it. (And I'm also hoping no one thinks I'm looney for the idea, but I have "plausible deniability" - I'm in the midst of law school exams!)


The Wine and Roses lucky chair vase and Sn@tch's freebie for this week made me think "ballet" and "studio." I happened to see the Baking Cupcakes blog and Pumpkin's post about a dollarbie skybox called "Los Angeles By Night" from Urban Affliction (thanks Pumpkin!) and somehow I came up with this!

I also wanted to mention a pose shop that is perfect for artistic poses called Leafy that the skin goddess Ryker Beck pointed me towards. The poses are really creative and inspiring, and right now they're just $50L on sale! Be sure to go check it out.

Style Notes:
Candace "Glitterati" Skin (Apple): Genesis (Free in the subscribe-o-matic notices!)
Outfit: Sn@tch (Free but disappearing soon!)
Silver Bells Jewelry Set: Violet Voltaire (Part of her dollarbies upstairs behind the main store in her store-closing sale!)
Rabid II 3 (White): Curio (not free)
Wingchun Pose: Leafy ($50L)
Los Angeles By Night Skybox: Urban Affliction ($1L on xstreet.com)

dp yumyum has a loverly exclusive b&w version of the new rosepetal dress available as a gift in exchange for 30 minutes of item camping (not shown, but also comes with pink ruffly kneesocks and a charming poofy flower hat thing):




and while i'm on the subject of item camping.... use some common courtesy, for fuck's sake. there is ONE chair, and a lot of people trying to get a chance. let people have their turns and if you're not sure who's been waiting, ask. don't be like the cretin i encountered this morning who rezzed next to me as i camped, and with a few seconds left wore a giant afk cabinet to obscure the view of the chair so she could hop on ahead of everyone who had been waiting patiently. don't be that douchebag.


ANYWAY. moving on, also worn above is the adorable free maggie hair from tiny bird, which was a bunny hop prize but is also out again in the newly re-born store. also make sure you grab the gifty box o' tattooey goodness from haver cole's soon-to-open *smudge*; in it you'll find super special ink made especially for autumn's new birdy brand. shown below are the arm feathers and part of the cooze wings (there's a third just as awesome back tattoo in the box, but my picture taking steam ran out and you don't want to see my attempts at photographing it. really):
