This isn't Mr. Freeze.

Today marks the beginning of the 2010 RFL Fantasy Faire. With eight sims stuffed with all things magical and fantastic you're sure to find plenty to love, and plenty to spend on a worthy cause. One of my favorite designers on the grid just so happens to be taking part to boot.

Curious Kitties is found on the Dark Realms sim, near the drop point, and there is a literal ton of product being shown through the fair. I thought I'd kick off my Fantasy Fair 2010 posts with my absolute favorite items that I've found at the fair. Which just so happen to be from Curious Kitties.

Curious Kitties 'Ice Queen Toketoke' Avatar set -3000L
Curious Kitties 'Muli Empress Coat' (Colorless) - 500L

Let me introduce you to the Ice Queen Toketoke. Without a doubt the most fantastic avatar I've had the pleasure of wearing. This set comes with skin, shape, hair and eyes, as well as all of the prim icy bits. It is not cheap. So I won't try to convince you that it is, but it is also amazing, and that skin is about as gorgeous as it gets. This set is a definite splurge anyway to look at it, but I promise you this, you will not regret it.

Curious Kitties 'Muli Empress Coat' (Colorless) - 500L

This is one of the few times you'll actually see me blonde, but the hair is fantastic, and I can't get over the ice creeping into the eyes. Probably the best part for me was that the shape wasn't absolutely horrid. Especially in the face, it's just beautiful, especially with that skin. I seriously can't get over this avatar set.

But then there is the coat. That is a coat you do not fuck with. That is a coat in which you dominate just about everything. The name is appropriate in that sense. That is also a coat I will not take off for the next few months in all probability.

The Ice Queen set comes in four variations. This is the most human of them, and I'd say the most beautiful. They are all gorgeous though, and if you're really feeling crazy, you can get the fat pack for 10K. I'll stick with 3k for Toketoke and call it a day tho. Because she is so pretty, and totally worth it. Damn, now the guys are right when they call me an Ice Queen :x

I'll have a lot more Curious Kitties for you tomorrow, as well as others through out the week. So stay tuned :3

Hey babes,

The blog is going to be quiet for the next few days. Narita has been ill, and is still recuperating, and I'm getting ready to move back to Seattle. So we've both got a lot on our plates right now, and I will be back in the next few days. I'll be posting fantasy faire posts starting tomorrow, but won't really be present until Wednesday more than likely. The plot line, posts and other things will be resuming, I just wanted to give you all a heads up, and send happy healing thoughts to Narita, cause we all love her so much <3

Fresh off last week's big accessories release, Fri.day dropped a whopping 6 brand new items today! There's the mini dress (above) that comes with a full version of just the blouse, plus 2 versions of the sculpted tie - tucked (shown) & untucked. Also in the top picture, you can see the new cutoff leggings. The full length, opaque tights are worn in the picture below, along with the hot new sculpted jacket and mini skirt. Worn under the jacket is the new tank top, that has a low slung back, and comes with an optional baggy, loose-fit stomach prim. I am sincerely adoring all of the new releases. Classic cuts, timeless pieces, fun colors and perfect quality - me likey!

The skin worn in both pictures is one of the skin tones from the new Group Gift skin from Belleza. My jaw dropped when the notice came through. And then it hit the floor when I saw the skin itself. It's gorgeous!! Far and away my favorite Belleza skin - soft makeup, delicate details... It's masterful work. Join the in-world group ($250L Join fee & worth it!) to get the fatpack of all skin tones, with optional hairbase and cleavage versions for each.

The poses in today's post are from the official Pose Fair exclusive set. For $500L you can get a fatpack of 35 poses, each by a different Pose Fair creator. It's a collection unlike any other, and it is available only at the Pose Fair. 100% of proceeds go directly to charity.

Goodbye Retrology

It breaks my heart that Retrology is closing. :(



Dress - /artilleri/ zesty zebra dress - $200L
Skin - *YS&YS* Andrea April Skin - FREE (Group Gift)
Hair - [LeLutka]-ISHA hair - Burnt - FREE (Group Gift)

The sim where I went on my first hunt (Easter 2008), bought my first Lindens, and fell in love with SL fashion... It will all go poof after this Monday, April 12th. The only way I could think to pay my respects was to share some of my favorite things that I bought there over the years.



Dress - Thimbles - Sssssnake Dress - Sea Serpent Blue - $25L
Hat - ::SPLIT PEA:: Candy For Marly Hat - $25L
Pose - ..::DARE::.. Ssshape - $50L (Pose Fair)

The dress in the first picture is from Artilleri and it's still a stunner of a piece. I mean, really - skintight strapless, zebra print dress - that's just foreverhot. The dress in the last picture, from Icing, is its polar opposite. While, it too is a classic design, it is instead all sweet and innocent.

The dress in the center picture is from Thimbles and it's the very first dress I ever bought in SL. The hat is from Split Pea and it's just so fun to wear. You can get both pieces, along with everything else in both Thimbles and Split Pea for just $25L - only at Retrology - until the sim closes. Good time to stock up!! :D



Dress - *ICING* Maid of Honor - Celadon - $250L
Shoes - ETD Shoes: d'Orsay Stiletto (Black) - $1L
Pose - flowey. tattooed lovers (Pose Fair) - $40L

The skin in the first picture is another look at the YS&YS Group Gift skin that I showed you the other day. Here you get a glimpse of the hair base that is included. The hat hair is a recent Group Gift from Lelutka that is still in notices. You get an entire fatpack of hair color options. The shoes in the last picture are an old favorite that I've mentioned before, from ETD's Discount Room. In case you missed them, all colors are just $1L. And, finally, all of poses featured in today's post can be found at the Pose Fair. The one from Dare comes at an extra super crazy bargain, if you get the fatpack. ;D

Does "Excellent" Still Sound Like A 1990's Film Reference?

I guess I'm kind of lucky Wren was kidnapped because my post is dedicated to dasies and the colour yellow. x: Also the adjectives "amazing" and "awesome" because I need to read more books...
Paradisis was a much loved store of mine a long time ago. They sort of dissapeared and I admittidly forgot about them until Wren made a post a few months back. So fortunately they're back and they've had some awesome new releases in the past few months.
For the next few days they have a spring/Easter hunt on in collabiration with a few other stores on the sim. You can find hints on the Paradisis blog.



The top, jeans, bracelet, choker, dress and anklet are all on the hunt. Along with a mouth daisy I forgot about because it replaced my antlers and a second, shorter top I would have blogged if SL hadn't eaten it after I'd gotten into my photography session. x.x
No pics of the other stores invovled but I definitely recommend picking up Lou Lou and Co's eggs for some pretty jewellery.



The Micky-Mouse-boy print (I really don't know what it is x: ) on Ricielli's latest group sim gift is above faun understanding but this skirt is high-waisted, which is a pretty awesome thing for skirts to be. The belt and skirt top also fit me perfectly, which makes me happy and also kind of suprised. If you're not so into skirts or the amazing colour yellow, the belt can be used in other outfits. :3



Kind of an interesting point for clothing makers making highwaisted and corseted clothing, I noticed that the texture leaked onto the arms. I didn't notice it when fully rezzed but when things are still loading you'll see a yellow colour under your arms. The clothing is no mod but I think it's fixable by allowing the clothing to have modify permissions or making sure the sliders are correct before making it no mod.

Bra Top - L. Fauna - Starlust Egg Hunt
Skirt - Ricielli - Freebie (The notice said members but it has a regular buy option, this may change in future but it's good to make a group space for them as there's that pretty black dress in the notices. If I was more organised this post would contain fewer references to unpictured items. <.< )
