She's somethin' strange

In about 20 minutes, the beginning of the Twisted Hunt's first birthday will begin with a new hunt, that I've been mentioning all weekend. Before the main event starts I thought I'd show you a few more goodies hiding among the tricks and treats That go along with this event. There are 104 stops, and will run through the month.

+DV8+ BioTox mask - Twisted Hunt Prize
+DV8+ Electrifae set (Blacklight) - Twisted Hunt Gift (exclusive color)
Virtual Insanity - Deadly Cocktail Leg Strap - Twisted Hunt Prize

Don't forget to check out the Twisted Hunt specials many stores will be carrying, from discounts on certain items, to extra goodies hiding in the store for you to find. I know there are some awesome extras hiding at Del May's.

+++Blue Blood+++ Suomi Unisex trenchcoat - Twisted Hunt Prize

There is a reason Twisted Events won our reader's poll this year, and with the quality and creativity of so many of the gifts to be found, it's no wonder why. So gear up, and get to steppin', the most twisted and difficult hunt on the grid is about to start, and be prepared to find that Lament configuration is some unexpected places. You'll want to start HERE.

A Blog Post Written From Behind My Cat

As he cleans himself in front of my screen. x:
It's probably worthwhile mentioning we got new Internet a few weeks back and it's rather awful. So to compound with my general lagginess, I have occasional disconnections. x: All in all, trying to take professional, quality photographs is not so fun. :/ And for some reason entirely meant to cover-up my procrastination, I haven't organised a pose stand like I've been meaning to do for months. x: But I managed to snag a shot of something for you.

There's a retirement sale at Pididdle, up the stairs between the two red barriers. Everything is 35L-100L, I think, including the Insectivore Lien skins. I'm not sure when the sale ends and I think everything in it will be removed from the store afterwards.
The skin is an opening gift at the new Obscene store. There's also a preview skin in the Beta stages in the group archives. The group has a 100L join fee. I'd have given you close ups but SL refused to rez my clothing changes and crashed me and I lost patience and gave up. :3 I think there'll be previews on other blogs, I'm not always the most updated when it comes to blogs, I just wanted to post something. x:

The begin of the 2nd annual Twisted hunt is only hours away, and with finally a free second, I'll drop another teaser on you. The Secret Shelf isn't a store I'd normally cover. Opening up their gift tho, I really can't say anything bad about the store. It's a generous gift, and although I'm only showing you part of it for now, it's well made, and I am absolutely in love with this outfit.The detail and craft put into the outfit, is fantastic. The thing I like about it most is that while the store is primarily a destination for historical/gor slave RP, this outfit isn't. When I see this, I see wire fu warrior goddess of the bamboo forest, but it could just as easily fit in to any of your dirty little roleplays you feel the need to play.

So, Twisted: Strange Brew starts tonight at midnight my sweets. Keep an eye here, as I'll be dropping more teasers throughout the day!

The Momentary Mental Vacation

Oh Fri.day, you must have read my mind...



Dress - fri. - Spring.Bloom Dress (Heather) - $200L
Hair - fri. - Summer - Sensitive Black - $250L (Color Pack)

As my city digs out from record-setting snowfall, Fri.day has released a brand new dress called Spring and a brand new hair called Summer. Seriously, it could not be better timing. I so desperately need to immerse myself into some beautiful tropical beachy paradise fantasy. And these new pieces really help ;D



The dress even converts into a perfect little one-piece bathing suit, simply by detaching the sculpted skirt. So, you're really getting two wonderfully made outfits in one. Such thoughtful design. LOVE!



Dress - fri. - Sweet.Heart Dress (Amethyst) - $200L
Hair - fri. - Miley - Paranoid Black - $250L (Color Pack)

Unfortunately, I've been buried in work leading up to next week's Accessory Fair (yes, there will be coverage, sweet minions ;D), so I'm totally late showing you the previous release from Fri.day. You've seen it a 100 times by now and probably have it in three colors already, but I don't care, cause it's just too pretty not to take pictures of :P It comes in such vibrant colors, too. This Amethyst is just so rich, it really does feel like a jewel.



And, like the Spring.Bloom Dress, the Sweet.Heart converts to a perfect full coverage bathing suit. Only this one has a plunging back that manages to be a little sexy, while also being totally modest at the same time. Don't ask me how they pulled it off. All I know is that the further I drift into this gorgeously perfect blue pixel water, the further away those snow blowers outside seem to be...

something is brewing

Sorry about the silence the past few days, a bunch of busy girls, and not enough time unfortunately. But I was able to find a few seconds to get this together. In the next few days what is becoming a yearly tradition will be terrorizing the grid once again. That's right Twisted events is about to celebrate it's first birthday and to celebrate, well what else? A hunt. I'll be dropping sneak peaks of prizes all weekend, starting today with the .:Nocturna:. swank chair. It has a pile of poses, and a sickly green hue that totally works with this hunt's theme of 'strange brew' I'll be getting more up as it arrives in my inventory, so keep checking back, this is gonna be mad.

I mean to get this up last night, but people were being demanding of attention every time I got a minute to try and take pictures. Priorities, you know. So here we are finally. The Dollhouse at LVS & Co. is switching over to a new subscriber system and if you make the switch there is a lovely new dress to be claimed. She always gives away her prettiest dresses, and that makes me such a happy. So hop on the subscribo at The Dollhouse, and be ready for pink swishy happiness. Also make sure to check out the new sim redesign, cause it's gorgeous, and a vast improvement over the previous layout.

I had meant to get this up yesterday, but received a call in to work, so sorry about that. This week's new release from +++Blue Blood+++ is Delia. A frilly but sassy pant set, with a high waist and collar to give you that intimidating yet dignified look for important goth girl business. As always it comes in a range of colors, including the whites, which I am still in love with(I've just been in a black and red mood lately xd).

To celebrate the Chinese New Year, the Red Packet Hunt started yesterday. The shop list for this mini grid-wide is pretty damn outrageous, and the gifts are beyond cute! Rather than link you to each shop, I'll just encourage you to do the full hunt. It's short, sweet and not too hard. Plus the gifts are really worth the effort. I'm finding it hard to delete any of it, quite honestly, and that's kind of insane for a hunt! This is your starting point. You're looking for little red envelopes, some shops will even have more than just one! :O

In what is probably her best release yet Hawke Mai of Arsenic Lace released Ava yesterday, a gorgeous lolita dress that had a lot of hard work and a pile of details that show how much she's grown as a creator since she opened her shop. I'm in love with the button panels on the front, and the jacket details in the back, and the skirt, and you should really just grab this dress, it comes in a pile of colors, so you're sure to find the one perfect for you.

If you're looking for something sweet and romantic for this holiday, The Black Canary has got you covered. Amorous is a new dress set released yesterday, and in true fashion summons up visions of Paris in the spring, heading to the cafe and munching on baguette with your love as you idle the day away.

~*The Black Canary*~ 'Amorous' dress set - 300L
Tweedle 'Sakura Forest' sky box - 0L

That gorgeous background is another new release, as a matter of fact it's a new fantastic sky box from Tweedle, especially for today. A lovely Valentine's gift for you, this gorgeous sky box is absolutely free. For how long though, I really can't tell you, so I'd suggest grabbing it ASAP.

Fri.day has some fabulous new stuff this week. I can't stop myself with their new releases. Bless them for making great hair that fits my melon head, jeans that rival the best in SL, and a sweater that I would tackle a bitch in a department store for... Make that in RL for me, please!

I've paired the new Fri.day stuff with a couple of my favorite gifts in the Starlust Valentine's Day Hunt. (Grab your hunt HUD here to get all the gifts.) There's a glimpse of the delicate cap sleeve top from Vanitas Vesture. It might be one of my favorite items from this shop yet. And in the bottom picture, the top is part of the Ambrosia lingerie set from Pig. That deep red color is just pitch perfect.

Happy hunting and shopping in the new year! :D

This evening one of my newer favorite jewelry stores R.A. Crystal released a new gift in store to memorialize their reopening. A beautiful jewelry set with three different versions of the necklace, and some fantastic earrings. 'Sweeny' is available for free, and totally worth picking up, I ran as soon as I saw it.

Dress - *DNR* Satin Shine Glitter Gown Silver - $150L
Hair - ETD Bonita II - Ebony - $20L (Color Pack)

And, if you're sick of the red and pink that seem to saturate this holiday, you can pick up this silver glitter gown for just $150L. The other color options are deep rich and sumptuous, so you've got loads of options to get fancy for your VD date this weekend.

All of the hair in this post is from ETD - a SL staple for great hair. It breaks my heart that this shop hasn't been updated in what feels like forever. But what's still available, stands the test of time. And it's hard to find a better shop for fancy up-dos, most of which are dirt cheap!

+++Blue Blood+++ has a new release, charming and flirty with a flippy skirt that you'll totally want to spin around in. Lots of accessories and a little bolero to complete the set, gives you endless options for wearing this darling dress. Whether you want a slouchy top or not, some fantastic gloves or if you want to go sleeveless, the choice is yours, and as always ridiculously affordable.

+++Blue Blood+++ 'Sophie' set (Red) - 300L

Nothing like a good old fashioned nightmare to wake you up at 4 am, and get some work done. You probably don't know that I have a pretty bad zombie issue. Not from movies, but I had a series of stress dreams a few years ago that kinda ruined zombies for me for life. So zombie dream = me up at 4 am working to try and push it out of my mind. Why I'm working in the dark is another issue entirely, but I'm half asleep and seem to be ignoring it pretty well so far. ANYWAY, pretties.

The Dollhouse by LVS 'Valentine' limited edition dress - 100L

This is a new limited edition dress set from the Dollhouse at LVS & Co. I couldn't help myself when I saw it, and snatched it up, running off to take pictures. As opposed to a dolly key, the set comes with a drawstring, which is something you don't see too often, and kind of made me smile. This set will only be available through February 14th, so grab it while you can, and you really can't avoid it, as it's only 100L.

Now... to get back to sleep :\
