Stalker

This is how exciting my life is....CAT DRAMAZ!!
(My Plurk friends know all about this, so I thought I'd bore you guys with it as well.)

Currently I'm sat here with 2 cats that hate each other, and one is not mine. I don't know who this other cat belongs to but it keeps coming in, eating our cat Chesters' leftovers and sleeping like it lives here. Over the past 3 days it has spent all day and night here just popping out to go to the toilet - we have decided to name it 'Stalker' because we think it's Chesters' obsessed fan. (I've got a feeling it's lost or something has happened to it's owner - it does have a collar but no name/address)

All is quiet right now, both cats are sleeping here on separate chairs, but I do smell a faint scent of cat pee - if that cat has peed somewhere, or Chester has done it to mark his territory because he feels threatened, Stalker will be outta here with my foot up it's arse.

Now I've ranted about that, on to the goodies. Check out this new shape I created, her name is Esmerelda and she looks super sexy with the stunning new Candace skins by Genesis. You can get this shape at Free*Style Horst and pay whatever you think it is worth (from 1L)



These sexy clothes were all bought in the sale at Torridwear (except the shrug and Crown which are a gift from Sasquatch). Most of these clothes worn in these pics were 1L, the most expensive was only 20L!!!

The sale room is right at the back and most items are 1-40L for amazing quality goodies.

Shrug and Crown: Sasquatch (loads of free and 1L goodies here)

Faces and Feet

Yep. Only two pictures for you today from me as opposed to my usual five or six feed-flooding images :P But they're good ones!!!! You shall love them.

Here we have some free hair and free/cheap skins! I love how skins and hair totally change how an avatar looks more than anything. I am wearing the same shape in all the pictures but look totally different. I love that so much!First Face:
Hair- Love Soul/Junwave picks rewards gift
Skin- My Ugly Dorothy, 300L
Earrings (worn throughout)- Caroline's

Second Face:
Hair- Mikan, 0L at Creator's Pavillion
Skin- And Bean, 50L

Third Face:
Hair- Mikan lucky board prize (at main store...take the TP from the CP store)
Skin- My Ugly Dorothy lucky pad prize

And for the opposite end of your body, you NEED to go to Dilly Dolls and hit the MM board before Oriana decides to change it again. These boots are soooooooo hot. And every single part of the boot in color change. Laces, heel, sole, everything. It's like a mix and match fat pack of boot delight. You need them. You know, most of Dilly Dolls shoes are texture change...and cheap...I suggest bringing along some L's to spend. And while you are there, go fish for some of the custom prizes. The fish scale boots, stitched bear, and mat hatter fish will not come to me after several hundred casts -.- All your doubles are belong to me XD

Jonas, Brother.

Yes, sorry - getting my abs out on the feed again. It's for a good cause; I promise.

If you aren't in the Belleza update group - especially if you are a guy - then you are missing out on the best 250l investment you can possibly make. With every new release in the past few months they have sent a sample skin out to all their members. This is Jonas.





He arrived in the group notices today, hot on the heels of Mathieu and Miguel from the past six weeks. The skin came in two versions, this one with hair and a bald one. And the gift package included this impressive shape.





I could rave on about the musculature and detail all day, but you can see for yourself just how well put together he is. And for those attached to your normal shape? I've shot a pic in mine own less impressive physique so you can see that it suits everyone.





As I stated the Belleza group costs 250l to join. And it is SO worth it. Search for it inworld, it's listed as -Belleza- but apparently it's somewhat tricky to find. So that's what I did, I opened up Tricky Boucher's profile and stole it from there. I'm also wearing the free male underwear from Sartori.

Sey you, Sey Me?

If you've ever read Winters blog or my blog, you probably have scratched your head and wondered? "How do those two not clash" Winter burns brightly, whereas I softly blend, we are quite like the peacocks in rl.
Occasionally, we meet somewhere in the middle, and both wrestle over the same styles, with loud cries of MINE MINE MINE...noooo MINE!!!

Its not the traditional SL thing, where the chicks can wear girl clothes and boi clothes and *neener*, oh no... Mr. Jefferson does not hesitate at making the girl clothes, into his (yes I lock my closet).

In this case, Sey provided us both with enough group gifts, that we actually did not have to argue over who wore what!... and yes, I have no shoes on, because there are even cute socks in the gifts!!

So we really really have to thank Risely Arai for his generosity, these items are top notch and definitely great adds to anyones inventory.

All items are freebies from SEY, except those mentioned below. TP to SEY, click on the glass case to open it, and on any item, which will give you a link to join the group. Once you have joined, you can enjoy any of the freebies in the case!

To check out Winter's Abs in more detail..just click the pics, they are HUGE!

Non Freebies:
On Winter: Skin-"Miguel" from Belleza, Hair-"Shono" from Discord, Boots-"Leather" from Redgrave.
On Elusyve: Skin-"Faith" from Tuli(group gift), Hair-"Veronica" from Exile

Reminiscing

It's been a weekend of reminiscing, for various reasons. Katat0nik celebrated her 1st anniversary. It made me think back to the first time I met her. She was having a hunt for a teeny doll avatar, complete with skin,shape and of course highly detailed outfit. Well I searched and I looked, but I couldn't find the tiny coin, with the Axis Mundi logo. What I did find was a vendor with the outfit in it, so I bought it as soon as it rezzed. Not 30 seconds later, Kat refunded my money. I jumped in her IM box and was all "No way" and she was like "way" And she had a customer for life. For as long as kat makes stuff in SL, I'll buy it, and not because she refunded me, it was the attitude with which she did it. There are people you meet in this amazing world we have created, whose talent and spirit shine through the pixels, and kat is one of those people.





So we partied, I crashed lots, bought everything in sight, and thought I should show these prettyful gifts that us groupies were lucky enough to receive. This is part of the note she sent : "Thank you all so much for such an awesome year, when I put my first dresses (Buckley and Carousel) on sale it was nerve-wracking and I had no idea if anyone would even buy them or if I had wasted many days drawing the dresses for nothing. I have grown a lot in the last year both as an artist and a "designer" in SL and am thankful for this opportunity :D
Included in this pack is an updated version of my Buckley dress in an unreleased color, and a special ice cream outfit just for you guys :D" We love you too kat, congrats on your first year, and here's to many more.



Ms Ghanima from Blueblood has been a very busy bee, although that's not an unusual occurrence :P Meet "Lola", you'll find 8 colours of her in the lucky chair!! I love this dress, it's so damn pretty, trust me, you'll want all the colours too!



And this cute outfit is from the Bubblefish lucky chair. Back when kenlee and I had a club (to help me pay for texture uploads) we were having an 80's night, and I had nothing in my inv. So she took me to Bubblefish and I went to town! That was nearly 2 years ago. So when I got a note from Soda Domela about the lucky chair, I was stoked. I love the clothes here, bright, fun and affordable. Mind you, I'm surprised anything fitted me back then, as I was saying to Sasy, I used to 100 tall, the mind boggles :P Ash Out.

easy freesy

I will admit it, I am lazy when it comes to hunting, and freebz and such. I enjoy them, don't get me wrong, but I have admiration for those who leave no sim unturned in the neverending quest for FREEEEEEEE!

Everything except my skin and hair is from Concrete Flowers (free/1L or lucky chair), more freeness can be found at Kosh, which is right next to it. Concrete Flowers always has something to appeal to the "quirky" in you, whereas Kosh has a little "harder" edge, and I enjoy shopping in both stores equally.

The hair is "Laynie" from Exile. Kavar created this style in response to Laynies' post regarding sending her son to attend a summer camp for children with diabetes, all proceeds from the style will go to Laynie until she’s reached her goal.

Free/1L:

Outfit: "Bouncy Spring Outfit" from Concrete Flowers, Shoes: "Hippy Green Flippy Floppies" from Concrete Flowers, Skin: "Faith", Group Gift from Tuli, Eyes: "Opal Eyes" from Poetic Colors, Gloves: "Flower Power" from Concrete Flowers, Choker: "Lucky Kitty" from Concrete Flowers

Not Free:
Hair: "Laynie" from Exile

Scribble Lucky Board Yumminess

So apparently my very expensive mac doesn't want to save complex images from PS as a jpeg file, even after reinstalling the program.  My 11 year-old son taught me the ins and outs of PS and I made a wonderful shot only to find I couldn't save it.  So muddling along here, Scribble always has some exclusive and limited time stuffs in the lucky board.  One of the new exclusives is this lufly (ashspeak)  Sheep Summer Dress in Creamsickle.  It has wonderful attention to detail, with loads of prim bows. The letters change every 5 minutes and you get to pick your prize.  This is only one of several available.  

Also shown:

Skin: Tuli - Faith light (group gift)

Hair - Raspberry Aristocrat - Beth (not free but a great new hair designer who is definitely worth paying a visit - hit the subscriber)

Stockings - Maitreya slouch socks (not free)

Boots - Dilly Dolls - color-change Stiletto GoGos -  (current) Midnight Mania prize

Ash's other love

So Sileny has sl food, Winter has pink, Acha has bunneh, Loli has Creams and Creams has gestures, Adi has GG. All things they love with a deep and burning passion. My new love is CS4. This is why I've been MIA, I have been utterly absorbed. I want to reach into my hard drive and hug the shit out of this program, srsly. I love love love love it. I recommend upgrading to anyone who has an earlier version of PS, this version is perfection.



Enough of gushing over programs, time now to gush over clothes. My 2 favie designers, the gorgy girls @ Axel have redecorated, overhauled and released a ton of new stuff. I took Q in there and went to town, I think I bought her the whole store :P This is the latest dollarbie, and won't be out for long, so best to make Axel the first stop on your list. The skin is a group gift from Yourskin Yourshape, a fave store of Creams. The face is so pretty, there's a painted hairbase, and cute tan lines.



Another of my loves is my friends, especially those who say nothing when I tp in to clear a chair/board half naked ;) Ms Hempy called me to Likkahouse, she got to see my bewbs, I got this dress ...sounds fair no?! The blood layer came from the hunt at Fallen Gods, I'm still going with that one, I've found 7 prizes before lag got the better of me, but I'm soo going back to finish it up! I had a really great time exploring, and I found heaps of stuff I'd never seen before. My favorite part of the sim has always been the gallery, but now I have some awesome hidey holes, for those times when I just like to vanish. The awesome flats shown are from Flair, not free, but so worth spending money on. The skin is from Hobo, I saw a pic of it on our Flickr and was all "WANT" You too can have it, for an L, yes one whole linden.



And quite literally bringing up the rear (:P) lucky chair newness from Dare Designs. There are eleventytwelve million colours to be won, aren't you a spoilt bunch! They are only residing in the chair for a week, so start stalking now. Ash Out.
