[i'm your last threat]

I am
your last thread
the one that lurks
in the shadows as you walk past
confidently
and powerful
and innocent at least you
strive to the slaughter
my little lamb
of god.



This post, and also the first picture, has been inspired by quite a variety of items, the most powerful most likely being ~Tableau Vivant~'s latest release, the Adam skin, with its more-than-awesome non-eyebrow option. I have to confess that I was rather skeptical in the beginning, but after I considered how easy it is to create extraordinary looks with little effort, I was convinced. In this case, Nuuna's awesome eyebrow collection was a great help, and an inexpensive one, too! With a mere 200 L$ for 22 different brows on tattoo layer they're really a must have for everyone that likes to toy around with the subject.

Since it's my last thread of this year, it fits nicely that it's gonna be about Last Threads, too - in this case, I'm talking about A:S:S's contribution for this weekend's LVE. Available in 7 colours, the artistically shredded and torn shirt goes well with both glamorous and grungy styles and is unisex, too! The special price for La Venta Eventa is just 40 L$ for a single shirt, but the Last Thread's gonna be available in store after the event, too. The awesome claws I'm wearing are one of the newer releases from the superawesomedroolalicious jewelry store : Amorous : and have lots of functions (apart from looking gorgeous): you can hide and show the claws or choose between a plain claw option or another version that has additional, small claw-rings on thumb and ring finger.

That's it from me for this year - thanks to all of our followers for some truly great 12 months in the blogosphere! Slip well into 2012... I'll see you there! <3

Tweed

Loving the tweed this season thank you very much! and so the new release outfit from Vero Modero was a huge hit with me! detail on the fabric is superb too although not clearly shown in my pic as i've added a bit of opaque and sepia to give it a little vintage feel.

I happened to stumble across this cute little hair & skin store which is new to me and going to be a firm favourite too I reckon! there aren't many hair styles to choose from at the moment, but what there is I love and for only 100L for the hair I certainly can't complain. Oh p.s Fashionably dead has a half price hair sale too if you're a hair junkie like me.... woot!

Oh yes Woot! being a huge fan of all things WOot I adore these tibetan looking wood bracelets, there is a set for the left & right although I'm only wearing one set in this picture.

A few of my favs from the Christmas XYROOM

Waaaaah!! way way too many things to blog so little time! so I'll cut the waffle (well as much as is possible for me!) and tell you the things I think you should know about these items. Let's start with the hair which is a current subscribo gift at Exile which also has another style in a black colour.

The biker jacket from Skifija has a colour changeable hud which literally has a million colours and modifiable options and makes for most adaptable item in your inventory (unless of course you have shoes from Skifija too which mostly also offer this hud).

The top has a prim collar which I can only describe as an amazing cleopatra style bib collar - would have loved to have worn it but it didn't look right with this jacket, plus I like the halter-neck look too so in effect you have two looks in one.

These gorgeous shoes remind me of being a small girl and clomping around in my socks with Mummies shoes on (much to her horror)  I love them!! and the socks have 18 changeable colour options. last but not least is the shape which is also an XYroom special and comes complete with a bikini and physics i.e bouncy boobies!

Drink the anger

Reading was always one of her preperations. She spend a night before she started to work on reading about everything humans did not like. Her black eyes gliding over the lines of letters and her thoughts focused on finding ideas about how to cause chaos and anger. Those feelings were the ones she lived from. She sucked them in with her beak like a perverted big version of a bumblebee.

She was well prepared for her work, her feet were clean so that she would not leave any footsteps. She only visited the houses where people lived who did not believe in Santa Claus anymore. It would not have been right to mess up his work but those who did not believe anymore in the magic of christmas were her victims. She went into their houses and then she started to exchange gifts. It was her fault when women got a vacum cleaner as gift or when men got their 138st tie. Of course she took care that children got boring books and clothes which itched. She was really good in her job. And she caused so many arguments each christmas. But she was simply so hungry.

There are so many amazing gifts among the giving circle ones. The fireplace is a part of the gift from the looking glass. Its a very lovely one and the socks let it fit to the season. The bed from Mole End also is one of those gifts. Mole End belongs Evangeline Miles who is also the owner of Evie's closet. The bed comes in a linked and an unlinked version so its possible to take away some of the decorations if needed. At Angelwing is currently a christmas hunt going on. There are several wings hidden in the store which contain full outfits (for women). The Xylia one is one of those. It has many lovely prim parts like the bands for the ankles and the flute at the necklace. The mask is currently a groupgift from Contraption. It is only available at Christmas.

Fireplace: The Looking Glass : Happy Holidays from Marcus and Sharni 2011 (0 L$ Christmasgift)
Mask: [ContraptioN] *Ice* Mister Odd Mask and Cowl Set (0 L$ groupgift)
Outfit: **Angelwing** Xylia (0 L$ Huntgift)

Christmas Penguin

Caspar Rolypoly was grumpy. He allready had been the Penguin Santa last year. And this year he had to do it again. He did not enjoy at all to swim from ice floe to ice floe and to bring gifts. But then he got to the first ice float and was surprised. All were waiting for him and thanked him for being the Penguin Santa in the last year. They even had fish.

Each year there are so amazing gifts in the abranimations advent calendar. The penguin avatar is the gift today. It is completly made of mesh. And the textures are impressive. It could be worn with or without the santa hat. Included is also a fish which can be used to slap people. The avatar works with normal aos but includes also a special penguin like walk.
Its also possible to use normal static poses with it. The one on the picture actually comes from Purple Poses.

Avatar: Abranimations : * Mesh Stroppy Penguin Avatar * (0 L$ gift in the Advent Calendar at the 22th December)
Pose: Purple Poses (10 L$)

Arctic and Antarctica

The most animals had managed to flee when they heard the singing, it was high-pitched and very painful in the ears. The ones which were not able to hear high tones started to run when hearing the trees explode. They did not see Arctic and Antarctica flying through the forest and spreading cold. The twins were the last ice fairies. Both insane, mean and driven by the lust for destruction and ice. The land they crossed was quickly covered in crystals.

For centuries they had been kept by dwarfs in a mountain. In the first centuries the dwarfs took care that there were always some magicians controlling them. Arctic and Antarctica waited. They knew that they would not be killed, there were too many wars between the dwarf clans than they would have been willing to destruct a possible weapon. Connected on a telepathical way the twins decided to hibernate. Ice grew around their bodies so that it looked like they would be caught in crystals. Sometimes the dwarfs tried to wake them but always failed. The ice around the twins grew through the centuries and the dwarfs started to forget what they were keeping in the deepest level of the mountain the lived in. In opposite to that the twins were always aware that they were in a prison and they wanted revenge. It did not matter to them that the beings which had caught them had died ages ago. They only wanted to see and to taste frozen blood. When the dwarfs started to use the fairy caused ice to make icecream Arctic and Antarctica knew that their time was close. Slowly they let their dementia float into the ice and infected the dwarfs through the icecream. After a short time they had many little helpers who had nothing else in mind then getting to the core of the ice. Arctic always had enjoyed icecream but he had to admit that it tasted so much better mixed with dwarfblood. Although he did not really like the colour the ice got then. So they made their way out of the mountain leaving more ice and frosted dwarfs behind them. There was so much more to taste and to kill.

The ice crystal skins and the fitting outfits are the latest release from Fallen Gods Inc. . They are a ice version of the crystal skins which had been released at the fantasy faire in spring, and are also available in the same versions as those skins. That means they are available in four versions of the body. Those are Pure, Opal, Fae and OpalFae. The pure ones are without patterns on the skin. The opal ones look like there would be tiny crystals on the skin so that it shimmers. In the fae versions there are wingstructures on the skin and the opalfae is a mix of the shimmer and the wings. Each of those skintones is available in four makeups. The skins are of course available for both genders. The female ones come always with a super boobs version. The version of the grom face tattoo Storm is wearing on the pictures is currently a groupgift in the Fallen Gods Inc. group. The fitting outfits are stunning. It looks like ice would be running over the skin. They come with wings and several prim parts which repeat the ice theme. The drapes create an ethereal look. The Icecrystal outfits work of course also with other skins. The system layer parts come on the shirt/trousers and the underwear layers. The primparts contain resize scripts.

Lust for Colours

The watchmen shivered when they came back. It had done it again. Now it was sitting in te middle of the room and looked up to them. They did not know what to think about the inpression it had in its eyes. Was it hunger? The watchmen shivered at the thought. The deal was to keep it for five days, the instructions had been clear it should get food and be lead in the sunshine for an hour every day. But as they allready had been paid they did not plan to follow the instructions at all. So they would have less work and not to share their food. First they thought of their prisoner as female. Her skin was different than anything they had seen before but her shape made them lick over their lips. Her mask confused them as they were not able to make her take it off. All three of them made an agreement. Their plan was to let her starve for two days and then to have their way with her. It was not the first time they would do something like this with a female prisoner. They allready had planed who would be first. Rock-paper-scissors was really a useful game. After the first night they found her outside her cell. It was not a problem to lock her up again. In the second night two of them heard loud screaming. The source was the third watchman. He had not been able to wait. Now he was laying on the floor. And not only his body had lost all colours. It was the same with his clothes. The prisoner stared to the two other guards who grabbed the corpse of their friend and hurried out of the bunker. They were surpised how light he felt now that he was colourless. When they came back they found it outside its cell again. Now all the colours which had been in the room were missing and waves of light were running over its scales. Of course it was hungry. And looking forward to the moment when they would try to get it back into the cell. Colours tasted so much better when they came from living beings.

This dragonmask is a wonderful gift which is available in several stores at the moment. To be more precise in the stores which take part in the giving circle. The giving circle has been started last year when some storeowners did not only create a christmas gift for their customers but put it also under the christmas tree in the stores of their friends. This year 11 creators of 10 stores take part in the circle:

• Marcus Inkpen and Sharni Azalee - The Looking Glass
• Alia Baroque - Fallen Gods Inc
• Elizabeth Tinsley - Frippery
• Zachh Barkley - Arcanum
• Saiyge Lotus - Balderdash
• Skusting Dagger - New Babbage
• Evangeline Miles - Evie's Closet
• Rosslyn Guardian - Falconrose
• Eliza Wierwight - Patron
• Elicio Ember - Cerridwen's Cauldron

Its possible to get the gifts in every of those stores but of course its worth to visit them all.
The mask has been created by Rosslyn Guardian, the owner of Falconrose. Those masks are the second life version of masks she creates in real life - she only uses prims instead of leather. This one is a white imperial dragon. Rosslyn has a booth at Sandrock where she sells her creations and its worth to visit that booth as well.
The skin which has been used for the picture comes from Fallen Gods Inc. It belongs to the Draco skins. This is one of the versions with the marks. The set includes not only two versions of the skin (awake and dormient) but also a tattoo layer to increase the look of the marks. The pose comes from purple poses. The room in which the picture has been taken is also a poseprop. Its the Interrogation Bunker from Devious Poses. The bunker can be bought with or without poses. In the version with poses it contains five couple poses which fit perfectly to the interrogation theme. The set also contains helpful props like a cane and several cuffs. In the store it is possible to look at a demo of the bunker and to test the poses.

Items:
Mask: Falconrose : Imperial Dragon-WHITE (0 L$ Giving Circle Gift)
Skin: Fallen Gods Inc.: DRACO Blood xx +FGInc.+ Scaled Marks (990 L$ or 3300 L$ for fatpack with all versions of that skin tone)
Bunker: !dM Devious Poses "Interrogation Bunker"(with poses) (1200 L$)
Pose: Purple Poses (10 L$)

Cassandre

I'm straying here from my usual look. Not necessarily too much style wise just with the shape. My regular shape is Lana from CS Shapes but when I was given Cassandre to try, I found that it gave me the opportunity to experiment with a different look. Cassandre is less realistically/idealistically proportioned and as such gives a more 'animated' look in my opinion which works perfectly with Fashionably dead skins which I've always admired. So decided to take advantage of the great range of skins currently available at Collabor88 to experiment with the look and was thrilled with the outcome.

The hair is a gift at the 'With love again ' hunt  from Sugarsmack whose designs never fails to please me. More details of the hunt can be found HERE it runs until the 6th January. Next I wanted to mention is a little store where I picked up the tights from and is only currently available on the marketplace. It has the most wonderful cute little vintage feel items at bargain prices so go take a peek!

Ambrosia van Finkelsteen

It was as cold as she supposed it would be. At least that was what her thermometer said. Lady Ambrosia van Finkelsteen did not feel any of the cold. Women had not been allowed to be explorers for a way too long time in her opinion. She dreamed of ice and snow and she really wanted to have tame icebear. After seeing an icebear in the zoo she changed her opinion and she only wanted to see an icebear in its normal habitat. One of the reasons she always had heard was "Its not possbile to look like a Lady should look because of the temperatures in the arctis". So she decided that she would look like a Lady on her expedition to the arctis. With her abigail she developed clothes which kept the cold where it should be outside of them. And even more they managed to create invisible fabrics. The combination of both allowed Ambrosia to explore several very cold spots of the earth and still to look elegant and nice. Of course nobody was able to touch her as she had a huge ball of invisble fabric around her in which she walked around. But this kept her from having to take a chaperon with her. She used this to learn many naughty songs from the crew of her ship.

Christmas is getting closer with everyday so its time to get a nice fitting outfit. This steampunk kimono comes from 22769 and is only sold at the marketplace. The patterns on the dress are very pretty and the sleeves are just lovely. Very nice are especially the several layers of the upper sleeves which remind a bit on Art Nouveau. The obi has steampunk details like the gears and the copper bands. It comes either with primskirts or without. The outfit comes on several layers. It is needed to wear the systemskirt layer. The textures of the primparts and the system parts merge of course. It is possible to modify the outfit to make it fit every avatar. The colour fits very well to the season but it can be worn at other seasons as well and it even might be great for roleplaying at a steampunk sim.
The pose on this picture comes from Purple Poses.

My LOTD

More yummy new things! I adore this poncho and sweater combo created by 22769 which is currently at The Gallery Gift Store. The outfit includes shorts, however I do not display them in my picture but the wonderful chunky knit tights are part of the outfit and it has received many compliments whilst i've been wearing it. Hop down there and grab this totally unique creation while you can says I!

The skin is from Love and I simply have to gush about for it's totally flawless quality. There are different shades available and what is so lovely about it is that it really is a perfect flawless base in which to add your own make up. There are many make up options to choose from in store too so you'll have tons of fun choosing. I have picked a heavy eyeliner as I love pale lips and smoky eyes, however I have to add the range of eyeliner options is incredible and as such there'll be one to suit any taste. What better to frame my perfect eyes!

 I have a vast collection of eyes but I always find myself  coming back to the ones Aphotic Gloom and what's more Is I discovered a new range to add to my collection!! how excited was I?! really honestly do go take a look on what is available. What I love most about these eyes is that you have the option of sizes which is perfect for me as I always complain that the irises seem too big for my eyes so I always choose small, they come with prim eyes too for extra wow factor!

[the grey mage]

"When the magic's white is too light and black is too dark, you need to choose the color of a varg."



Recently, I've been stalking VIGo's and KnickKnack's Lucky Chairs and the MiniMania again, hoping I'd be lucky and win one of the gorgeous fantasy/roleplay-outfits that both creators put so generously out to be won. It's always full priced items you can also buy in their shops, and since the texturing and the prim- and sculpt-work has convinced me long ago, I was rather excited when the 'S' finally showed up and blessed me with this beautiful ensemble. VIGo's Taliesin robe has an extraordinary collar solution and comes with sculpted sleeves and pants legs - the texture itself reminds of an expensive velvet, with a precious-looking edging of silver and black on the sleeves and chest piece.

If you don't feel like waiting for your lucky letter to come up, you can also purchase the robe directly in store; there is a number of 11 colors (grey, purple, green, red, teal, tan, white, yellow, black, brown and blue) to pick from which will be yours for 400 L$ each.

Roses for Christmas

It had been over two days of reading and searching but Isobel still had not found the spell which would allow her to spawn roses for her true love. Even in the oldest books about lovespells she could not find any useful information. So she started to experiment.

Some hours later she struggled with making her tendrils stop growing as it itched. It kept her from reading about how to transform herself back. At least she would have enough roses to decorate her house for christmas with them. She was even tempted to start to grow very rare roses on her head and to open a flowerstore it would cause way less trouble than being a magician.

Today is the last day of the Zombie Popcorn Dark Magic winter. So its time to use the last chance to see the sim and to get some of the event items. But there are also great items at Zombie Popcorn Brand. For example the grey cape from Quarantine. The primparts are either mod or have a resizescript. There is an alpha layer included to hide the body but it is also possible to make it fit without using that layer. It goes very well with the grey trousers from Elan. Those are high-waisted. They could either be worn with the included prim parts or in boots like on the picture. The boots and the trousrers are both items from the Dark Magic Winter event. They come from VC Designs and are available in several colours. I liked the black ones best. The boots are great in winter as there is fur in them so the feet won't become cold. Of course the boots have a well working resizescript.
The outfit on the 2nd picture comes from Aliza Karu. Its possible to make it fit a smallish avatar like mine without spending hours on a posestand and it is very pretty and unique. It comes with hair with roses and a dress and the bra like top. All of the items are no copy but trans so the outfit might be a great x-mas gift. Its one of those dresses which are simply made to take stunning pictures of them. The pose which has been used for the picture comes from the doll set from Captivity & Co. . The furniture on the picture comes from mudhoney. Its also one of the event items from the dark magic winter. The set includes the bookshelf, the sofa, an ottoman, a pile of books and a pile of books with a magician hat on top. The items are copy so its possible to have a lot of books in the house. The green carpet comes from Libertine.

Christmas Elf set free

The snow melted when landing on Sara's skin. Her pointy ears were hidden under plushy earmuffs. Sara's real name was Twinklie Pinky and she never had seen real snow although she had been a christmas elf for the most time of her life. It had been boring and she never understood why christmas elves never got at least one of the gifts they created. Being a christmas elf meant to be a in a sweatshop for a lifetime. Not only the work was hard. The elves had to listen to christmas songs all the time and all they saw were the big halls where they created the gifts. Sometimes they saw Santa play with the reindeers in the outside or take a ride to some scientists at the northpole where he exchanged some of the gifts for alcohol. It was surprising that there had not been a revolution allready. At least for Sara it was so she started one. And got kicked out, as some other elves too. So finally she had the chance to see real snow and to see a bit more than just gifts.

There is a advent calendar at 22769 which has a lot of cute gifts in it. The red woolen trousers are the gift which is today in it. They come with two kinds of cuffs (for females and males) and are very comfy and cute. The long shirt or short dress comes from Aoharu. It comes with three kinds of skirt. It is possible to wear just the dress or to combine it with trousers or tights. The hair is the latest relase from Wasabi Pills. It is possible to change the colour of the hairband and of course there is a resizescript included. It is always good to have some short hair as it is very good for pictures. The Earmuffs are one of the new releases from Virtual/Insanity. It is also possible to change their colours with an inbuilt script and they could also be resized with that. They are a great accessory to let a winterish outfit look even more winterish.

A quick tea break

OH! do I love this pose and being British nothing suits better than a nice cuppa tea!. Ok i'm a traitor and only drink peppermint tea, but we can still solve anything over a nice cuppa. Anyway at this time of year there's nothing more important than taking time to relax, and when it's my time to relax I find nothing eases the pressures than a bit of retail therapy in SL it's far less stressful than RL. So here are some of my lovely finds to share with you.

Ever wondered where all those metal heads in SL are hiding? They already seem to be a rather rare species in RL, at least where I'm living - and if we're talking about those people whose outfit tells you what music they might like. It doesn't seem to be much different in Second Life, so I was having some trouble to dress accordingly to my (musical) mood when I recently re-discovered my love for Black Metal. Thankfully, there is certainly no lack of awesome leather pants and net shirts in our little world, so the basics were there, and I remembered the Cake hair I'd bought ages ago and which matched the look perfectly, but... the rest?

While looking through old screenshots, my eyes caught a pair of spiked armbands I was wearing on one, and after some research, I also remembered the store's name: [SP] - Spider Productions, established in 2005. This shop does not only sell spikes, studs, and everything that looks awesome when you're going for a darker look, but also stunning hybrid avatars (such as dragons), armor, jewellery and accessories, weapons and much more! And they also have a bunch of Lucky Boards out, in case you want to check on their quality first. The boots I'm wearing in this post, for example, are one of the Lucky Board prices and greatly textured, plus: easy to resize. A:S:S's latest release, the more-than-awesome Count-corpse paints (you can choose from a variety of 10, or simply grab the fatpack) added the final touch to my outfit.

Demon jokes

Although the furniture was old and the walls shabby was the club in the bunker one of the most exclusive ones in the city. Asura had absolutly no problems to be allowed to join.Some people thought that she the crown of spikes she had around her head would be a form of a stigmata. Asura always laughed when she read their minds. She was one of the mystical beings in the town. Or even more she was a demon. The story of Jesus had always amused her and she loved to tease the angels she met now and then so she had used spikes to make herself a crown of them. It worked well. It made angels so angry. Now and then they tried to attack her in the club. Asura always pretended to be massivly hurt so that the angels were thrown out. It was way to easy to manipulate humans, angels were way more fun.

Diapop created a black dress which reminds a bit on the fashion of the 1920s. The set contains black gloves and knee socks. It comes on all layers and the primparts are modifiable. I really like the bell like sleeves for the upper arms. The whole outfit looks very sophisticated in my opinion. Hysteria takes part in the Grunge Soul Project. Their item is a crown of spikes with a fitting tattoo layer, so that it looks like blood would be running out of the wounds the spikes cause.
The couch and the plate of fruits on it come from Libertine. Libertine is a subbrand of Fallen Gods Inc., which sells furniture, decorations and houses. The Couch belongs to the Marquis Set, which is the first Libertine release. It is included in an adult and a mature version. Up to four avatars can sit on the couch. The animations are, no matter if they are for sitting innocently around, cuddling or even closer contact, always well chosen. The couch also gives out several items, for examples grapes which can be used to feed the partner with them. Beside the great functionalty the furniture is very well designed. It looks great in houses and should fit well into clubs too. For more informations take a look at the Libertine blog.
The standing pose does not belong to the sofa. It comes from one of the new sets from Purple Poses.

The ones at the gates

As different as they looked when they were in their true forms as similar was their appearance when they transformed themself into beings which looked more like humans.
Chama de Xeo forced more power into her stuff. So that it started to light the darkness around her. Her reptilian eyes would have allowed her to see her even in the night but she wanted to make sure that the beings on the last island knew that she was around. Chama was one of the guardians. Normaly the ones of her kin were not asked to guard anything. They prefered to sit on their hoards, only leaving them to threaten all kinds of beings to get more glittery things so that their piles of jewelery grew and grew.

Chama had done the same for two or three thousand years. But then she started to have a hoarding problem. Her cave became too small and she also had to recognize that the beings she pestered not always gave her gemstones. Some started to give her shiny glass crystals and she had taken those as precious stones. The thought that somebody might know that her hoard did not only consist out of very seldom and worthy items made her shiver. For some years she caught pretty young men and forced them to sort and polish the things on her hoard. All of those died really suddenly in her opinion. Most of those men had been kept by her for sixty years but that was not much time for a being like her. So after the seventh or eighth - they changed so fast so she had a hard time counting them - she had to admit that she needed to do something else. Luckily other dragons had had the same problem before and decided to do something which might kept them entertained for a longer time or which would at least keep them from killing themselfs because of boredom. Chama became a guard. As many others she spend her time now on an portal island and took care that none of those strange beings, which had never heard about magic, made their way into the world she loved.

What to say about the Draco skins from Fallen Gods Inc. beside that they are amazing? They come in 22 skin tones with 4 options at every skin tone. Of course they are available for both genders. But only the female ones come with a SB version (SB = Superboobs). The options consist of a scaled, a smooth one and a marked version of each of those. There are demos of all skins available in the store. They are great for roleplay and could be used to make for example mermaid/mermen avatars. And the ones without scales of course could be the base for any fantastic being.
The clothes on those pictures come from Deviance. The black set is called Enchantress. It comes with several options for the cape. It could be worn with and without collar and in a long and a short version. The skirt reminds a bit on silks and comes also in several options. I liked the one with beads and skulls best. The top comes on the systemlayers and there are also undies layers included into the set althought the skirt covers everything. The staff with the crystal belongs also to the set. The top in the shades of green belongs to the Elementalist sets. Those are only made of prims. The set contains a version of the clothes with a golden trim and one with a silvertrim. Each of those comes with two kind of tops, bracers for both arms and a skirt and all of those in two sizes. It takes some time to adjust all those primparts but the details are just so lovely which makes it worth it. And of course the textures are amazing.

Outfits:

Silberblue:
Skin: Fallen Gods Inc.: DRACO Glacier xx +FGInc.+ Scaled (990 L$ or 3300 L$ for fatpack with all versions of that skin tone)

Autumn Fairy

There had been no rain for some days but now the sky looked like it would burst every minute. It was so dark that Helen had to light her latern to avoid flying against a tree. She had been roaming through the meadows to search plants for a medicine and to allow her squirells to explore some trees. But then the weather turned really bad. Now she was on her way home. She only hoped that the wind wouldn t blow off her wings. It was allready autumn and as tree fairy she would loose her wings in winter. It always tickled when they grew back in spring.

It is most embarrassing that I had not heared about Severed Garden before visiting the Zombiepopcorn Dark Magic Winter event. Their exclusive item is an autumn themed outfit for fairies. Its amazing how many little details the designer added to the whole outfit. It comes with wings made of leaves and also the belt has some leaves in it. Beside this the belt has some pockets at the front which contain everything a fairy might need. The latern with the squirrels and the shoes make the whole look even more playful. The prim parts of the clothing come with a resizescript and the clothing comes on the jacket, pants,undies, glove and sock layer. The skin is an other event item. It comes from Damned and is available in four make ups. The one on the picture is called Silthus. The set comes with eyes and fitting ears which is very comfy. There are patterns painted on the face. Those make the skin a great roleplay item as they can of course give the one who has them magical powers or be a mark.
The pose belongs the Angel of the Apocalypse set from Purple Poses. Its a set which was designed for demons but fairies also could fly fast.


Outfit: *{ SeVered GarDeN }* Cloe (for Dark Magic Winter) (290 L$)
Skin: - DAMNED - Izriel Skin / Silthus (800 L$ sold at Zombie Popcorn Dark Magic Winter)
Pose: PURPLE POSES - Angel of the Apocalypse (Set of 4 poses for 40 L$)

Christmas Inventions

The sun was shining bright through the window and the open door of the hut but Eniko, the little christmas deer inside the building, knew that she wasn't bright at all. She had been sent to get some magical substances which were needed to create a good christmas feeling. But the magician who had been asked to create the substances wasn't at home when she arrived at his house (he was in the mountains where he tried to convince a unicorn that white wine would taste better than red wine, which did not work really well as the unicorn only drank 15 year old Whisky and believed only some dwarfs who used to drink a lot of red wine). After some hours of waiting she got bored and started to explore his house. In a corner she found his hat and decided to test if he would fit her. Eniko really liked how she looked with the hat and she also started to feel slightly smarter. Suddenly she had the idea that the magician might not come back and that she might be a better magician anyways. So she started to experiment. The first substance she created made her feel very warm. Eniko simply dealt with that feeling by taking off some of her clothes. She was really proud on her invention as Santa Claus maybe would be able to work while wearing shorts and a t-shirt if he would use the substance she created. Proud because of her first success she decided to go on with her experiments. She hoped to create a pill which would humans influence to see christmas trees. With that it would be possible to make sure that less trees would be cut to be used as christmas tree. But something went wrong when she tested it. The feeling was the oposite of blushing and when looking into a mirror she saw what happened. Her face was green. Eniko felt deeply embarrassed and silly.

There are so many cute and adorable items at the ZombiePopcorn Dark Magic Winter event. Wasabi Pills made some very nice unisex hair for the event. It comes with a hat. Its possible to change the colour of the hat and the hatband. There are two colours for the hat and eight for the hatband. Of course its also possible to use the hud to resize the hair. The outfit is the exclusive item from Ducknipple for the event. It consists out of a sculpted top and skirt and pasties and a thong which are worn on the undies/undershirt layer. Its either possible to resize the top with a resizescript or with the normal building menu. Because of this adjusting the sculpted parts is very comfy and alows some fine adjustments with the building menu. *Epic* creates many lovely fantastic items and the hooves they made exclusively for the ZombiePopcorn Dark Magic Winter are just cute. The set contains the hooves with brown and black hooves. There is also an attachment included which creates snowsounds. The fur for the legs comes on the tattoo layer and the socklayer. The hooves have a resizescript and are also available in black or as black demon hooves. Stain Cosmetics creates very unique makeup. For the Dark Magic Winter they made makeup which helps to escape boring classes. The set contains several makeups for example noosebleeding, fainting or like on the picture puking.

Snow

The snow was perfect on the first day of december. So the iceprincess had at least a comfy landing when she fell on the ground. She kept her eyes closed as tired and exhausted as she was. Now the snow was so young and fresh, it calmed her down. She ran her fingers through it and let the crystals fall back down then. But the gravity was too much for her. She needed to lay a bit to adjust herself to it. The hail which formed her wristlets shimmered in the light of the moon.

After some time she was feeling a bit better and pressed her body up. But she was still too weak to stand. Being a part of it her feet did not leave any traces when she digged them into the snow although she still felt unhappy because of the higher gravity.

In the evening she finally managed to move on her feet. Her back hurt but she was the iceprincess so she did not show any sign of pain. Secretly she hated the winter. It always forced her to become human. At the beginning it was bearable. Of course the gravity was annoying but then she aged with the snow. So that she was all grey when spring came. And melting was always a bit embarrassing but at least after that she became an ethereal being again.

Today the ZombiePopcorn Dark Magic Winter event starts. Its an event which combines magic and winter. The sim on which it takes place looks just lovely with all the cottages, snow and wintergardens. The light there is amazing and actually it is good that there is a fireplace in nearly every house as it looks very cold. The wide range of creators, who sell their items on the sim, is great. All of them sell exclusive items for the event. The gown is the one from Faster Pussycat. It has a asymetric cut with a great texture which consists of discs. The parts of the body which aren't covered by cloth are covered with a texture which reminds on drops of ice. Beside the gown part the set comes with jewellery. The necklace and the earrings remind on frosted jewellery. The crown makes the set completly outstanding. It looks like organic forms made of ice. When seeing it for the first time it reminded me on the horns the forest spirit in princess monoke has on his head in the night. The dress comes on the shirt, trousers, undershirt and undies layer and all primparts are mod.

The wristlets are the exclusive item from PurpleMoon Creations. They look like small pearls made of metal put together with very thin strings. They fit great to the wintertheme. The set includes also a necklace and earrings in the same light and elegant design. It is possible to choose between more than 15 colours for the pearls and more than 10 for the strings. When changing the design of one part of the set the others also change their colours in that way, this is very handy in my opinion. At the same time the possiblity to change only the design of one part is also included. So this jwellery is not only a piece of great design it is also scripted on a smart way.
The black make-up belongs to the set of exclusive make-up from Virtual/Insanity. It creates a dramatic look. For the pictures I used the black make up but the set contains it also in green, teal, blue and purple.
The pictures have all been taken on the ZombiePopcorn Dark Magic Winter sim with poses from Purple Poses.

Wedding invitation

The sound of the high heels on tiled floor echod through the building. But there weren't any patients in the lost asylum and even the last caretaker had been fired five years ago. Now Lucie was scampering through the building. It should have been her who would marry Jonas, not Sarah. She had been with Jonas for such a long time and he had asked her so often to marry him but Lucie always said no. Jonas, well Jonas was ok but she did not want to be bound to him when somebody better would come around and she was sure that Jonas would stay with her anyways. She made so many jokes about him when phoning with her friends and became less careful so that one day he heard her talking about him. He was hurt, but what Lucie wouldn't have expected he was way too proud to show her his emotions. And then he met Sarah, who was just friendly and kind. Jonas fell quickly in love for her and was more than glad not to have to pretend to be anybody he wasn't. And it was so comfy not to have to deal with hidden evilness all the time. Lucie was of course sure that he would come back to her. In Lucie's opinion Sarah was just vulgar and without any class but for Jonas she was the world. When she got the invitation to the wedding Lucie thought that Jonas and his fiancée only invited her because of kindness and that they did not really suppose that she would accept to come. But she wanted him to know what he would miss so she invested into a very expensive and sheer gown. She wanted to look better than the bride. When she arrived at the location which had been on the invitation she had to admit that she surely had been a good teacher for Jonas when it came to evilness.

The Hilarie gown from Entre Mares is a big partly sheer gown. The long train lets it look impressive in every ballroom. I had some problems with adjusting the primparts to my usual shape but luckily ND/MD released a model shape to their Eboni skin. The dress comes on the pants and shirt layer. The primparts are no modify and no trans and contain no resize script. The dress is also available in light blue, black, gold and white. Entre Mares will have a fashion show at Dec. 3rd 5pm with a special gift for guests. Which will be a great opportunity to see how their gowns look on an avatar.

Dress: [Entre Mares] Hilarie/Pink (950 L$)
Skin: ND/MD EBONI natural Skins natural (990 L$ for one makeup or 1999 L$ for four)

Dream Nails

The sound of nails scratching over the floor woke her up. First Anteia did not know where she was. But then she allowed her glance to wander through the room and she remembered that she was in the house of her lost grandmother.

She slowly turned around. Yes, the hat was still on her head no matter how she moved it did not move one bit. So she was really in the house of her grandmother. In her grandmother's opinion every female should wear a hat so with some magical tricks she made sure that hats always looked perfect in her house. But it wasn t the hat which woke Anteia, it were her nails. They had grown overly long during her sleep.

Anteia was a dreamweaver. But she was still young. Sometimes the things she dreamed became real which was seldom pleasant. Long nails were bearable. But one night she had dreamed of cookies. When she woke the whole room was filled with them. It had been way more difficult to get rid of them than it was now to get rid of the overly long fingernails.

The Frances outfit from Culto is very cute. It comes with a sculpted skirt with several little details like bands on the side and leather straps. The poffed sleves are sculpted as well. The outfit also contains a collar and a hat which of course can be worn seperate with other outfits. The corset comes in a version with and one without garters. The top is worn under the corset so its possible to wear the outfit on a more naughty way. The long gloves belong also to the set. All primparts come with a resizescript. The room with the couch is a pose prop from Miamai. The couch contains several poses and the walls and curtains change their texture on touch. The pose on the third picture comes comes from Purple Poses.

On the way to the north

Her colleagues hated her but Dr.Dr. Phd. Ignatia Fleckenstein was the most popular and experienced scientist when it came to penguinlanguages. Her parents had been antarctic explorers so at the age of five Ignatia found out that penguins were as smart as humans and that it was possible to learn their language. At that time she evn had the impression that they would be smarter as humans. But as soon as she became a bit older she found out that also penguinparents didn't allow their children to stay up late and to eat as much as they wanted to. After having learned to write Ignatia wrote her famous first book with the title "First words for penguin friends". Of course the scientific community did not take her serious but soon they had to change their opinion. Some more people learned to communicate with penguins and were really surprised about their culture. But somehow they never managed to become as good in understanding them as Ignatia did.

I love elegant unique clothing. This dress from Leezu has a very unique cut because of the form of the collar and the black white pattern is calm because of its colours and at the same time very brisk. The skirt is included in three versions and the system parts come on all layers. Its possible to edit the primparts. The gloves belong to the Ansiotropic jacket from Miamai, which I blogged some weeks ago, I really like the primparts. It is of course possible to wear the dress without leggins or tights under it but I choosed to wear it with the dewi pants which also come from Miamai. As the outfit is black and white its great to add some colour so the red leather boots are a great contrast to the dress and the gloves.
The pose used in the picture comes from Captivity Co. It belongs to a set which will be released soon and has the name Velvet Curtain Collection. That collection of poses is being created for fashion pictures and will be released soon.

[vintage vixen]

Vintage Fair is still running until Dec 3rd, and now that the enthusiastic masses have mostly vanished, it's actually possible to move around without crashing or relying on cam-shopping, so take your chance and hop over to admire the various brand's offers and what they consider to be 'vintage'. There is a wide variety of items to be found, from 1920's flapper dresses to 80's sequin chic, full outfits, hair and accessories - everything your fashionista/-o heart needs to be happy!

22769 is having a booth at the fair as well, with both female and male items to pick from. Shown in the picture is the devine, crimson-coloured 'Red Roses Dress' that's adorned with beautifully sculpted flowers along the neckline and down the side. Purrfect 10's Rose Heels are a perfect match in this case! To give the rather classy look a slight twist, Raven's wearing A:S:S DeLuxe's latest release, a fascinator that uses thick bolts to hold it on your head, keeping it screwed to your skull. Made from silver, with accents of pearls and moonstones and albino peacock feathers it makes an unusual and lightly freaky addition to your wardrobe.

Stand out in pixels

Indeed  isn't that what we want to do, stand out in the pixels! make your fashion statement, that's the most wonderful thing about SL fashion. We don't have to worry about body hang ups or what's appropriate for age and as such can wear absolutely anything we like!

I'm totally into these new 'jeggings' at Love - not quite jeans, not really leggings but they're fabulously tight and can be worn on their own or under a skirt as jeans or as leggings - great!

Now here are some freebie gifts that you simply must grab. Firstly the skin in the 'Diamond is mine' hunt (more details can be found HERE you're looking for a diamond hint is next to new skin)  It's from Jesylilo which is always quality and has fabulous tones. The eyeshadow is a lovely green shade which cannot be seen in my pics as i'm wearing shades which also happen to be another great group gift from Le Poppycock.

These amazing boots are also a group gift at Gabriel and come in men and womens sizes. The top is a group gift from Nudolu and comes in 5 colours! not often you get a fatpack as a gift is it?

Gallery Opening

It was always the same. She ate too much at gallery openings. Now she was not able to take any pictures because her hands were covered with chocolate. It was really tricky to be a reporter.

Many events are going on today. One of them will be the opening party of the Insane/Focus exhibition at Lust4Art. Moolfryt Klang and Loviathar Hellman show pictures they took on their travels. They are intense and definitly worth to have a look at. Its even possible to buy them so that you can decorate their home with them. As Loviathar Hellman is the owner of Virtual/Insanity she built a gift for the opening party. Its the keychain with the camera. The opening party starts at 11 am SLT today. Club Industry DJ Demonica Bade will float the sim with some great music. The shirt is the current 22769 groupgift. Its included in a male and a female version and comes even with pants. The shirt goes well with the current temperatures as it is very warm. Today is a black friday sale going on. The Abyss sells those leather pants there for 100L$. They are also sold in a version for guys there. Beside the Abyss some other brands tak part in the sale. To go there you need to join thewarehouse group.
