Sexy Pixel Doll

Oh Hai! I hope everyone had a wonderful Holiday whichever you celebrate! My holiday was nice my daughter turned Five on Christmas so I was an extra busy bee. I had a small gathering and my daughter had a princess cake and she was thrilled! This will be a short post since I'm expecting the Mother in Law tomorrow. I just had to tell you about these cute free outfits from PixelDolls, also some other goodies I found from 10-100L.


Pixel Dolls - Gift Outfit II - Free in the main section of the shop

I just love all the parts to this outfit which you can mix and match!
PixelDolls - Gift Outfit I - Free
Courtisane Shoes - La Vivien Xmas - Subscribo Gift
***

This entire Avatar was 10L! I especially LOVE the shape and I rarely say that. I only wish it were mod so I could make her a wee bit taller. The avatar comes with the outfit, shape, skin, pretty gray eyes, glowing hair, and this neat flowing flexi thing called Star Field.

PixelDolls - Yvain Avatar - Everything shown 10L

Of course I had to throw in a little bit of Latex. You knew I would.
Get this nifty lil number for just 10L.
I had one more outfit I was going to show its similar to Gift II, but instead of orange its black white and gray it was 100L and hell of a deal but I lost the picture somehow.
Worth checking out! Happy Shopping and since I will be busy with my In-Law's I'll wish everyone a Safe and Happy New Year!

Four Wrens a gloating

Good Morning my lovelies, it's Monday morning, and you know that that means? New +++Blue Blood+++ release! (also five days until Christmas :O) So this week, is so obviously the best release Ghanima has ever done. Four skirts, gorgeous texturing, exciting and dramatic, and it's called... 'Wren'.

Talk about a Christmas present, I can't wait to hear what the haters have to say about it. This set comes in all of the traditional colors as well as all of the whitegoth colors (of course) and is only 300L, per usual. Don't forget that Ghani also put up a new 29L xstreet dress, and I hear word of there being... what's that? A hunt at +++Blue Blood+++? Later today. This dress will be out in the next few hours (as of 8:18 am mountain time) so be ready for all kinds of yummy new stuff from Ghani!

Happy Holidaaazeee !

Been a while since I blogged. I've had these pics for a few, I haven't been very focused lately I have the attention span of a 5 year old. Maybe that's why I was drawn to this awesome holiday gift that Honey Kitty has out right now till the 26Th. Its so fun with the glowy stars and pretty bows there was a couple hair attachments too but I'm not showing them here. It can be yours free all you need to do is activate your Honey Kitty group tag and search out five boxes hidden around the Main shop. There is two outfits to mix and match with many options.

The skin I'm wearing is one of my new favorites! Its from Oceanes's Luscious Skins and its out for the holidays for the special price of 100L. You can pick it up along with some free Christmas lingerie at the front desk in the store. I love the lips!! The body shading it to DIE for and the cleavage!? Don't get me started. There is a holiday touch to this skin it has green nail polish, and a "Santa baby" tattoo on the lower back.
Deviant Kitties - Savanah - Holly - Ink
Like the hair? Isn't it cute. Its one of two styles you can find at Deviant Kitties in a special holiday pack for the low price of 70L. You get four color options, with Xmasy tips and accessories.

Dress - This is a Fawn - Leda Dress [seafoam] - $50L

First up, the ethereal Leda Dress from This Is a Fawn. By far my favorite dress in the shop, now in the delicate soft green color. Flirty, sexy, and yet, somehow, angelic. Just love it.



Dress - my little blue christmas dress by caLLie cLine - $50L

Callie Cline is offering up her little blue christmas dress this week, and it's got to be my favorite dress that I've ever gotten in her shop. The texture is really elegant and the details in the back are lovely. All in all, a perfect little blue dress. Plus, this edition also comes with sheer thigh high stockings, matching gloves & a little blue Santa hat.



Jacket - PIDIDDLE - Em Blazer - Red - $50L

Truly Generous

Truth just sent out another great Group Gift!



Dress - TRUTH Martini Dress Pant [holly] - FREE (Group Gift)
Leggings - Source : LE.LOOK! la femme - Leggings - FREE (Group Gift)
Hair - Maitreya Nimue - Ebony - $295 (Pack of 5)
Skin - :GP: Petal [Light] Elf-Happy Holidays - FREE (Group Gift)


If you're not in the Truth Subscribe-o-Matic group, you've missed a bunch of Group Gifts lately. Today we got this adorable little red strapless party dress. Too cute for words. I know I'm in the minority when I say this, but I've always been a bigger fan of Truth clothes than their hair. I know, I'm a blasphemer and I should be tarred and feathered. But seriously, how cute is this dress?!? More clothes please! XD

The leggings are from Source and it's part of today's gift from Le.Look. If you've been living under a rock, everybody and their sissypoo has been flooding the Le.Look sim daily to grab gifts from some of SL's biggest designers. There are gifts for both men and women, and they add up to build complete avatars. Join the Le.Look in world group and then TP till you can squeeze your pixels into the constantly full sim. It's well worth it!

The hair is one of the latest styles from Maitreya. Not free or particularly cheap. But with 5 color tones per pack, it's a damn fine deal for gorgeously made hair. The skin is from the Group Gift Curio set that I showed you the other day. You can still grab them in notices. And if you were worried about a group joining fee, don't be. It's free and you really truly need these.

One last note - I bet you're wondering why I took this picture at such a cute little candyland kinda setting. Well, this is part of HappyMood's entry into this year's Winterfest. They've got 3 giant snowglobes filled with the most insanely adorable winter scenes. You will just fall out of your chair and die from the cuteness. But if you survive, you might just stumble onto a secret prize room! :O HappyMood has 3 very generous holiday-themed gifts this year, as well as an in-store Group Gift. And, if you're clever, you might just see that I've given you a major hint! ;D

Frozen

All kinds of wintry wonderfulness is finding its way across the grid, in the form of everything from clothes, to shoes and skins. There are plenty of options to keep you snuggly and warm, or just looking hot in the bedroom.

The lovely Morrigan Denimore of The Black Canary released this beauty, 'Cherubim', last night. I hope we know how I feel about white at this point, and this gorgeous set has lots of it, with some lovely fuzzy trim. The hat and capelet complete the set making you look like the snowiest of all lolita.

The skin is from Tacky Star, and right now is only 10L, it's a special preview of what her offerings for the next Designer's united series will be. Totally excited for it, the theme this time? Vaudeville. Mmmm. But hurry, this skin is only going to be out for a limited time!
+++Blue Blood+++ Also had a new release, and I'm *still* geeking over the whitegoth options available. Of course you'll find these lovelies in the traditional colors, but you know, in case you forgot. WHITE. This set is Fluture and comes with two different skirts, as seen below. A whole slew of colors, and if this isn't enough for you. Ghanima has a new 29L sec on Xstreet.com, there is a midnight mania, as well as a mob vend that goes all the way down to 50L.

But we can't forget the shoes! Lazy Places has recently released a whole slew of new boots and hooves. These lovelies are feathered and come with lots of color options, seven different colors to be precise. They also have an option for particle feathers to rezz when you walk, which is totally fun. If your budget is a wee bit tighter, well Nix Sands at XCENTRICITY has a NEW pair of exclusive holiday D'Fly heels for you. These lovelies are Ice Queen blue, and as you can see have their own fun particles.

After a long day of looking lovely and stomping around in some crazy awesome footwear, you need to have the right kind of lingerie so unwind it, or maybe get wound up in. Seldom Blue has release a whole pile of yummy, fun and festive styles for you. Just today Indigoblue dropped a gorgeous holiday version of my favorite set 'Kira' on the SOM group. If you're lucky you might still be able to grab it, it's serious yum.

Another recent addition to Seldom Blue's lingerie line is the Portia series. Right now you can get the purple set for a hugely discounted 195L, that's 25 pieces people, and for a set that normally runs at 800L, it's a deal that can't be beaten. This set has so many options it's ridiculous, from skirts, to bras and panties and corsets, you'll spend hours playing with this set, if only a few minutes taking it off.

Some of SL's biggest names are participating in a secret $50L sale through December 27th. You have to search the shops to find the goodies, but there's so much great stuff to be had! (You can find a copy of the shop list in The Love/Hate Hivemind Group notices.) Soon as I spotted Mimikri on the list, I ran! There are items marked down throughout the shop, almost every room has something, so there's lots to choose from. I also have to make a note of the pose used above. It's a Group Gift from the new {flowey} in-world group. There's a $100L joining fee, but there are 2 poses available now in notices, with the promise of more to come.

House of Hucci is another shop on the So 2010 list with a big selection of $50L items. So much so that it was hard to choose. I settled on this great pair of jeans. They come with loads of options and the texture is really fantastic. You can really never have enough jeans, so be sure to grab them.



Dress w/ Gloves - Mimikri - Lady Minx/Dress red - $50L
Skin - :GP: Petal [Dark] Elf-Happy Holidays - FREE (Group Gift)


Last, but most certainly not least, I have to mention the Group Gift Skins from Curio that made every girl in SL scream her head off last night. It's a sample Fatpack of the new Elf line of skins, and it's got the superlative quality you know and love. You must join the Gala & Rita Designs Announcements in-world group to get them. They're waiting for you in the past notices. There are 5 skin tones, with Light & Dark options for each. They're gorgeous and you desperately need them right now.

I would also like to note the setting for these pics today - the outstanding Primtings Gallery, run by Ina Centaur of IC Skins. It's a gallery dedicated to realizing famous works of art in 3D and it's heaven for an art nut like myself. There's some truly wonderful work here by some great SL artists, all made with sincere reverence for the original masters. It's a must-see. And while you're there, be sure to drop a few Lindens into the donation kiosk. Art keeps SL exciting and places like this need all the support you can give.

It's A Pamela o:

"You're looking for a Trickett? Don't think I've seen one. Have you tried their favourite shops? How about the forests? Lay some sweetie trails and a pillow trap. A pillow trap? It's a strategically placed pillow for catchin' Tricketts. :D That? It's just a random smiley face. Go about your daily business, no Tricketts here, just us Pamelas. <.<"


This is a Pamela. :3 Or maybe a Trickett interpretation of a Pamela. The skin is by Lazolli and the shape and pose are by Plastic Flowers, your latest store for cute and edgey shapes. :3


The shape has a very versatile, sexy face. She worked with every skin I tried on, including skins that haven't been my favourite on Trick. Shown here are the Lazolli Pamela skin the shape was designed for, Summer by Vive9, Bella by Tuli and Enchanted by Cupcakes.
There are three no mod shapes with varying heights - 5 6", 5 8" and 5 10" by height measure. There's a couple of things I'd change but I am a shape-freak and overall it's probably a better shape than other freebie shapes I've picked up from skin and shape shops (I know you're all saying "well duh" <.<).

I think I have to switch to the offical viewer when I take photos, they just don't seem as sharp in Emerald as they did on LL's. I don't think Photobucket compression helps either...

Shape - Plastic Flowers - 1L
First Skin - Lazolli - 1L
Pose - Plastic Flowers - 1L
Necklace (Colour change) - U&R Dogs - Lucky Chair

YAAAAAAY

Just an FYI kids, CSR prizes, for the most part, are UP

2009 Winter CHOICE! CSR

Long Past Breakfast

There's nothing quite like starting off the day with a massive Photoshop failure and 5 dumbfounded tech support personnel.... Anyway, let's get to it!



Dress - This is a Fawn - Deep V-Neck Dress [slate] - $50L
Hair - !lamb. Witch - Powder - $50L
Tattoo - /artilleri/ Spotty mix tattoo - $100L
Pose - esme for (pda) Laughing With A Mouth Of Blood - $50L (Fatpack)


Loads of great stuff at this week's $50L Friday event. This is a Fawn has the fabulous little V-Neck mini dress in slate blue. The platinum blond pompadour hair is from Lamb. There's also a red shade of the same style available. The tattoo is from the big sale at Artilleri, which is not to be missed. If you don't already own everything in the shop, now's your chance. And I just love her rockabilly style tattoos. It's a small section, but as with everything else in the shop, the quality is top notch.



Vest - Schadenfreude Cranberry Deep V Vest - $50L
Boots - *Shai* Lizard Boots - Red - $50L
Tattoo - /artilleri/ maggie tattoo - $100L
Pose - (pda) I Gotta Get Smart - $50L (Fatpack)


The cranberry colored vest from Schadenfreude is perfect match for the red boots from Casa del Shai. Both items are gorgeously textured, with outstanding details.



Outfit - (5th&Oxford) Rebel, Rebel Outfit - $50L
Boots - [SC] Surf Couture - Elsa Boots - Black - $100L
Pose - (pda) I was having sexual nightmares - $50L (Fatpack)


5th & Oxford has this sexy little tank and mini skirt set on offer this week, with loads of layering options. And the boots are from the sale at Surf Co., also on the Artilleri sim, and they come with dozens of color change options. The texturing is just to die for; an unbelievable steal for just $100L. You might need to Fatpack them.

And, speaking of Fatpacks, all of the poses are from the 3 Fatpacks available at Penny Dreadful Arcade. There are samples here from each of the packs, all of them mandatory for your collection.

Love Love Hate

So, real life was supposed to end on Sunday night. Then I get a call telling me that real life is being extended another two weeks. Sooooo I don't want to sit on all this good stuff forever, and I guess I'll just be rationing it out nightly. Until I can get to a place where my schedule is a teeny bit less hectic.

As soon as I saw the ad board from LVS' Dollhouse Boutique about their Tarot hunt gift, I raced over. Old school carnie style really does it for me, and better yet it went beautifully with my newest skin from Deviant Kitties. The Tarot hunt seems *really* promising, this is coming from someone who is so worn out from hunts, that for the most part, I really just don't do them anymore. Pretty sure I'm doing this one though.


The hair is from the Love Soul lucky board against the tree, that is devilish and long, but if you're persistent or have a friend who will stalk it for you, then you might just be able to nab this cutie. Okay, now I'm going to bed. You might see me tomorrow night, depending on how beat up I am.

Boooooo

hey kids,

Real life is calling like WHOA right now. You'll be back to your regularly scheduled program on monday. Sorry!

So, for now, enjoy some IAMX.

get y0 kicks

Right so Shoe Fair 2009 ends TODAY.

J's thigh high boots are *not* new. But they are some of the best you're going to find on the grid. Reason everyone's messing themselves over them lately? New colors, a whole pile of them, and they're gorgeous. Get a fatpack.

Make sure to hit up the vendors that go to toys for tots like these heels from Heart and Sole. The money is going to a good place. Could you imagine being a kid with no presents on Christmas day? Super sadface. Do a good deed.

Probably some of the most normal shoes you'll find at Lazy Places would be the Pr0n heels. But don't forget the hen-tai heels, the hooves and then their darling Knuffle boots, a pack of which is set up for the toys for tots vendor.


ANEXX has piles of good shoes, but I couldn't not show you their toys for tots donation item. These boots are CRAZY awesome. They are so rock star you can't not love them, even if you're an angry little girl like me who hates everything. Details and texturing and everything is gorgeous, and your purchase will help get kids presents for Christmas. Everyone wins.

Don't forget all of the other amazing shoes too, Kookie's Lolita heels, the dalmatian print heels at Maitreya (toys for tots donation to boot). The fun toys for tots donation pair from Courtisane and omg the Lolipolita boots from Periquita. GO NOW DO NOT DELAY SHOE FAIR OVER TONIGHT.

Cold Cold Ground

This week's $50L Friday has embraced the colder weather, so let's celebrate with a little bit of snow!



Jacket - (Milk Motion) My blazer *plaid* - $50L

I also have to note that the hair in the first & third pics is from Fri.day, which is running a winter sale right now. If you haven't hit it yet, you're missing out on some ridiculous discounts. The poses this week are from the recent Glitterati model pose releases.

Snowy and Cute

Lots of new goodies from +++Blue Blood+++ this week. Firstly Ghanima unleashed upon us the SUPER EXCITEMENT WONDROUS JUMPING set "Kawaii". It comes with two skirts, as well as the option to wear it like a suit. Ugh can you say wonderful? The high collar kills me, the waspy waist kills me, the leg warmers? They kill me. This set is so cute, and comes in five dark colors, and five white colors. Ugh I am SO loving the white!

Also check out that skin. It reminds me so much of my first *real* skin. It was a Nomine Windlight skin, and I still love it to this day, but this skin is FREE and from a store called
~: Heartsick :~ this is a store opening gift and its available in ALL shades, with and without freckles and there are cleavage options as well. There is also a skin gift for guys available as well, so make sure to drop by and grab these goodies while you can.

Just in the past hour or so Ghanima unleashed a note on the group proclaiming 10L Jackets for Christmas! And they ran. The jacket is adorable, and comes in seven different colors. I love me some 10L +++Blue Blood+++. Not to mention the most recent 29L blue blood set available on xstreet, here. AND there is a mobvend that goes all the way down to 50L. Ghani's got ya covered.


Just a reminder, four days left of shoe fair, and I still haven't shown you the new Fae Ankou boots from Lazy Places. These suckers are very different, and a lot of fun. They are available in Black, White and Brown, and are still only available at shoe fair, which runs through the 6th.

Drammammamazzz

So today my lovelies we're going to talk about lag, and ARC. Over the past week and a half there have been a series of parties going on at the DeVOL sim. Good music, and the added bonus of gift tickets has made them very desirable parties to go to. They're over at this point for the time being, but until yesterday they were great fun.

So yesterday morning I log and hop over to the party, grab my tickets and get called away from my computer for a few moments. Unfortunately I had just woken up, and it didn't register that I was still wearing the Alienbear Jewelry from the shoot the evening before. I return to my computer with an IM from someone at the party informing me that they had to kick me and I could return in ten minutes if I de primmed. Totally understandable.

Now, I'm just going to clarify something here before we get into the nitty gritty. This isn't just about me, because I'm sure I'm not the only one who got screwed over by the sim owner. There are probably a fair number of other people who got an estate ban for less.

Let's fast forward to this morning. Time for the last party, and I log on. I already knew my ARC was under 1k, which is what the hosts at the so kinky parties had been preaching so I hop on over. Banned. What? I was told I could return in ten minutes yesterday. I have some friends do some investigating, the Sim owner is at the party but not responding to IMs. My friends message her, I message her, I also send her a note card in the event that she's not hearing IMs. Finally a response.

[9:22] Wrenja Czaczkes: Hi K----, I was banned from the sim yesterday for an ARC issue, which was a complete mistake and I apologize for. But I was told I'd only have to wait ten minutes before I could come back and I'm still banned.
[9:27] Inventory item offered
[9:34] K---- M-----: I will unban u after the party
[9:34] Wrenja Czaczkes: that's kind of cruel :\
[9:34] Wrenja Czaczkes: but thank you
[9:35] K---- M-----: yesterday, u were over 10,000 at here, it was so dameged for the party ppls, pls understand it.
[9:35] Wrenja Czaczkes: yes, but it was accidental
[9:35] Wrenja Czaczkes: i wouldn't intentionally show up to a party with an ARC that high, but I understand. It just sucks because I went to every party
[9:36] Wrenja Czaczkes: and if it's any consolation my arc is under 500 right now :P
[9:37] K---- M-----: I hope next so kinky if u fix about arc before joint the party, u can enjoy with friends ;P

Well, okay. We're all adults here I'd assume. But if I get told, "you can come back in ten minutes" I feel like I should be able to come back in ten minutes. Now lets think for a minute here. There are SO many people who don't even know what ARC *is*. How many of them were banned during this party series?

There are SO many more people who don't realize that with lag, ARC isn't even the real issue. The sim owner above included. The issue started coming to light after hair fair when Pandora Wrigglesworth of Curio Obscura wrote a very enlightening post about the real causes of lag, I.E. bandwidth, textures, scripts, etc. you can read it here, it's a great read and more people should really understand what causes lag.

http://www.curioobscura.com/2009/06/27/lag-101-what-is-lag-and-why-does-it-happen/

So here we are, I'm angry with how rude the sim owner was to me. I understand why I was kicked yesterday, I don't question it, and it's fair. I should have been un-banned in that ten minute time frame though. Playing vindictive and rude to people who are trying to be gracious and clear the air is a nasty way to act. At this point, I'm somewhat glad I didn't get around to blogging the so kinky gifts before the weekend started, and in the future I won't be endorsing their parties to anyone, not on the blog, not to my group and not to my friends.

I think the lesson here, isn't even 'don't wear a high arc to a party' it's DON'T BE FUCKING RUDE TO PEOPLE BECAUSE SOMETIMES YOU'RE RUDE TO THE WRONG PERSON. Also, educate yourself on what actually causes lag :P Oh and, if you say a person can return in ten minutes, YOU LET THEM OKAY? Kay. Rant over.

Dripping

It's a rare thing, a girl and her jewels. I can't say that I wear a lot of jewelry, but when I do, I tend to go all out. I don't think anyone can deny the quality and just pure exquisite glamor that Alienbear jewelry provides. Despite it's strange name, the store offers up some of the most beautiful jewelry you'll see... anywhere.


Alienbear
has recently released a new set, Azucena. Whether you're a princess or just like to flaunt it, the set has every piece you'll need to look completely and utterly extravagant. Pieces start at 180L, and go all the way up to 1199L for the most elaborate work, and come in a range of Platinum, Gold and a gorgeous Antique Gold. It's expensive, yes. Totally worth every penny as well though, and I can say with absolute certainty, I've never regretted an Alienbear purchase. *Nudges Narita* ;x

Skirt - Kyoot - Corduroy Mini - Nutty - $50L
Shoes - .:Periquita Q-Steps Shoe
Pose - (pda) Black Wave / Bad Vibrations - $50L (Fatpack)


There's so much great stuff available today, you'd be crazy to do anything but shop your little pixels off. First up, this killer little jacket from Fishy Strawberry. It works so well with the little mini skirt from Kyoot, you'd think they planned it. That skirt even comes with blue striped leggings that are good enough to stand on their own.



Dress - -L`Abel-Cara black minidress - $50L
Hair - !lamb. Bang Bang - Ink - $50L
Shoes - .:Periquita ChickyChic Pumps
Pose - (pda) Black Light - $50L (Fatpack)


There are 2 dresses available at L'Abel, but you know I had to go for the black one. It's got a hint of glitter and has a really casual sexy drape across the body. It even comes with 2 skirt options, the A-line (shown) and a classic tight prim. The hair was the winner of the popular vote on Lamb's Plurk, and gosh do the kids know how to pick a perfect prim hair... So sleek and sexy, it's mandatory to have in your wig closet. There are 2 others availble there today, so if black isn't your color, or you really can't work a blunt cut, you've got more to choose from.



Top - [W&B] I'll Be A Ghost Shirt - $50L
Pants - (Milk Motion) My wool pants - $50L
Shoes - .:Periquita Silly Wedges

Pose - (pda) Tes yeux noir - $50L (Fatpack)


The top here is a darling little, bow-necked sleeveless from Whippet & Buck and it works great when paried with the wool pants from Milk Motion. Have you noticed my shoes yet? All of the shoes used in the pictures today are from Periquita and you can find them all at the Shoe Fair. I cannot tell you how much in love with Periquita shoes I am. For less than what others charge for just 1 pair, you get a set of Periquita's with more color change & customizable options than you'll ever know what to do with. And no one does a cute, flirty quirky shoe quite like this. You need them all.



Top - Pig - Georgia in Black - $50L
Belt - Kunstkammer Cosmic Belt - Crystal - $50L
Shoes - .:Periquita S-Steps Shoe

Pose - (pda) Odessa (City on the Black Sea) - $50L (Fatpack)


The boustier top pictured above is from Pig and it comes with an optional babydoll flair prim. The killer Kustkammer belt you'll recognize from Wrenja's post. It even comes with just the buckle part, so you can work it into outfits in various ways. All of the poses used in today's post are from Penny Dreadful Arcade. You get a total of 10 poses for just $50L. I love how expressive they are. And this deal is too hot to pass up.



Dress - (Elate!) - Celeste - $50L
Shoes - .:Periquita Stilettos
Pose - (pda) Danse Des Mouches Noires Gardes Du Roi - $50L (Fatpack)


Last, but certainly not least, is this great little mini dress from Elate. A mini from Elate is always a must-buy, but one with a 3/4 sleeve, black top, and glittery sliver mini skirt... That's just a no-brainer.

There's certainly TONS more great stuff available today. You'll be kicking your butt till next year if you miss out. Happy shopping! :D
