I Finally Really Like The Colour Pink

When I was younger I made up my mind that I disliked pink a lot. But it happens to have really grown on me since playing SL.
And like Wren, I've taken a break from hunting and frantically trying to catch up with things and most importantly delete things to show you these beautiful skins. :3



They are the latest freebie from Cupcakes and they're available to everyone for Hallowe'en. There's more tones, I just picked my favourites to show. I think this is Lace, Goth and Sambuca. If you like them you should consider joining the group if you have space as they regularly give out free skins. There is also a green version of this make-up for sale as well as other Hallowe'en make-ups at a reduced price.

frills and thrills

Taking a break from the constant stream of Halloween goodies, Seldom Blue is celebrating the opening of a new store at EOSTARA, by releasing a new series of bridal gown with a couple of pretty sweet, and not so bridal, offers. Flirty, fun and, well, naughty choices abound, and you're sure to find some goodies to fit into your budget.

Seldom Blue 'Kira' party dress - 1L

Despite my strong affliction for black, I've never been one to hide my love for pink. When they showed the bridal gown at their fashion show a little while back, I remember this being my favorite. Not only because it's, well, pink, but because its so dramatic. Dramatic is something Seldom Blue is pretty good at, and they do not disappoint. Every piece in this series, is dramatic in one way or another, from the lingerie, and the super tiny thong. To the dollarbie dress above and its ridiculously awesome poofy skirt. Ugh, I love poofy skirts.

Seldom Blue 'Kira' wedding lingerie - 100L

I, personally, don't understand the concept of SL marriages. But, I know it's big business on the grid, and you girls love you some weddings. So, I sucked it up, and got this sucker on, just for you. I'm not even sure I want to get married in real life, let alone second life, but putting on the dress left me a tittering, twirly mess anyway. The power of wedding dresses, is kind of frightening. Even though I highly doubt I'll ever get married in SL, I love this dress, if only for the corsetry. It. Is. So. Pretty. I'm a huge sucker for pink and white, but UGH SO CUTE. And really, I'm a pretty bride, aren't I? ;)

Seldom Blue 'Kira' wedding dress - 1300L

Now, here's hoping they decide to shower us in new latex for Halloween. *squeals*

Burn, Baby, Burn!

Burning Life is open!



Sculpture Garden

The most incredible event in Second Life is finally here! It comes but once a year and its stay is always far too short. The lag is off the charts and you can expect to crash a million times. But it's soooooooooo worth it! XD



Temple

There are 34 regions and hundreds of camps to explore, each a world unto itself. There are absolute marvels of sculpture, painting, sound and video for you to explore. Some of SL's best artists have created pieces especially for this event that you won't get to see or experience ever again! Check the What & Where Page to find some of your favorite creators.



Gulliver's Travels - Ub Yifu

And the festivities are non-stop, 24 hours a day! There's live music, dancing, DJs & pyrotechnics. No matter what time-zone you are in, there is fun just waiting for you to show up. Check the Events Calendar to keep up to the minute on what's going on.



Vessel's Dream - Bryn Oh

Be patient this opening weekend. Crowds are pouring in everywhere, so expect to lag & crash. But it's all part of the fun. Most of the creators are hanging around their builds & are more than happy to show you all the little gems they've snuck into their little masterpieces. I caught up with Bryn Oh at her build and she clued me in on some of her secrets. In addition to it being largely a cam build (you have to cam through the passageways to see it all), click on just about everything to load a special machinima to learn more of the story. The woman is a freaking genius. This work is stunning! Put it on your Do Not Miss List.



fushion - four Yip

Know what else you're going to plotz over? Freebies from four Yip! Squeee! XD You get a chocolate skin and a ton of accessories, including strategically places butterflies, big blinky eyes and a teddy bear for your head. And that's just some of what you'll find in her media-rich chocolate fantasy world.

I hope to show you more of the awesomeness and the piles and piles of gifts from Burning Life as the event goes on. Keep an eye on the Burning Life Blog for loads more information. Till then, burn on! ;D

Don't Forget!

Gacha swap tonight at the HQ, starting at 6 pm. This time we also have a way to set up a wish list to help with the ease of trading, you can find that here. So fill that sucker out and be here!

This Must Be the Place

Bet you're wondering where exactly that might be, huh? ;D



Pants - {SMS} Pik Pants Brown - $50L
Hair - PIDIDDLE - Balloon Hair - Orange - FREE (Group Gift)

Burning Life of course! :D

I am so excited for the grand opening of this year's Burning Life festival! I didn't get to do my own plot this year (sadface!), but I am helping a friend with some finishing touches. So, that gave me early access to the sims. And, let me tell you, you are in for a major treat! There are some astoundingly gorgeous builds just waiting for you to ooo and ahh and explore. But since all of the builders are furiously rushing to the deadline, I'm not allowed to give you shots of full builds just yet. Till the sims open to the public this weekend, I can only show you teeny tiny peeks & give the event the hype it so rightly deserves :D



Dress - /artilleri/ - Wilma dress *lavendel* - $50L
Hair - Clawtooth by Clawtooth: A place to call home $50L
Pose - [LAP] - GG1-Joan PR4 - $50L (Fatpack)

Meanwhile, back in fashionland, it's $50L Friday time! Did you spend as much as I did? It was kinda hard to say no to so many fabulous items. I had been eyeing those leggings in the top picture from So Many Styles for a while. How awesome they went so well with the latest wild hair-do Group Gift from Pididdle. If SL ate yours the way it did mine, rest assured you can still get it from the Subscriber service at the mainstore. The fabulous retro dress above is from none other than the queen of retro in SL - Artilleri. And that killer hair is from the diva of all things ridiculously fabulous, Clawtooth by Clawtooth. Is it wrong that I want to build my wardrobe around that hair, just so I can wear it all the time? (And, yes, the birds chirp when you click them! >.<) The pose is from Long Awkward Pose & it's from the Girls' Fatpack. There's one for guys, as well. I got them both just cause they're all too good to pass up.



Dress - *Fishy Strawberry* Cuddle Maxipull - Hot Pink - $50L
Leggings - *Fishy Strawberry* Swan Lake Leggins - Hot Pink - $50L (Fatpack)

Last but certainly not least is this mini sweater dress from Fishy Strawberry. Perfect sculpty prim work as usual. I swear I just want to snuggle up in that dress in RL, it's so comfy. And to finish the look, there's a matching fatpack of hot pink leggings, also $50L. There's so much more great stuff this week. Just like the Burning Life builds, I wish I could show you everything. But you'll just have to scope them out for yourself. Have fun! :D

bleh

Hey guys,

I know a fair number of you would say I've had more than my fair share of stress this year, but yesterday morning my step father collapsed in the ER. He had a brain anyurism, and I spent a lot of time with family yesterday in the waiting room while he was operated on. The coil was placed successfully, and we all left the Hospital last night feeling like all we needed to do was wait for him to wake up.

This morning we received a call informing us that he had another stroke, and blew out the pupil in one of his eyes. It's not looking very good for him, and while we're hoping for the best, we're trying to face the reality of him dying. I'm sure you'll understand that I probably won't be around much in this aspect for the next week or so while things pan out.

Thank you for all of your support, you're amazing <3
