Tempestuous makeover

Something a little unusual tonight! A before and after 'makeover'. Sometimes, you just need a little retail therapy. If that's followed by a trip to the theatre, so much the better. Here's the before of my friend and muse, Isolde, one part of my heart.
6
 
SCENE I. On a ship at sea: a tempestuous noise of thunder and lightning is heard. 2 You are a counsellor; if you can command these elements to silence, and work the peace of the present, we will not hand a rope more; use your authority: if you cannot, give thanks you have lived so long, and make yourself ready in your cabin for the mischance of the hour, if it so hap. Cheerly, good hearts! 4 Now would I give a thousand furlongs of sea for an acre of barren ground, long heath, brown furze, any thing. The wills above be done! but I would fain die a dry death. 3 Lie there, my art. Wipe thou thine eyes; have comfort. The direful spectacle of the wreck, which touch'd the very virtue of compassion in thee, I have with such provision in mine art So safely ordered that there is no soul-- No, not so much perdition as an hair betid to any creature in the vessel which thou heard'st cry, which thou saw'st sink. 5 The jewel in my dower, I would not wish any companion in the world but you, Nor can imagination form a shape, besides yourself, to like of. 10 O heaven, O earth, bear witness to this sound and crown what I profess with kind event if I speak true! if hollowly, invert what best is boded me to mischief! I beyond all limit of what else i' the world do love, prize, honour you. 7 My man-monster hath drown'd his tongue in sack: for my part, the sea cannot drown me; I swam, ere I could recover the shore, five and thirty leagues off and on. By this light, thou shalt be my lieutenant, monster, or my standard. 8 Be not afeard; the isle is full of noises, sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not. Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices that, if I then had waked after long sleep, will make me sleep again: and then, in dreaming, the clouds methought would open and show riches ready to drop upon me that, when I waked, I cried to dream again. 9 
Rhapsody is an event all about music. The Hottie Cooterati have put together a SIM of sounds, with sections and stores dedicated to genres from Jazz to Punk, through Metal Disco and Pop! There's close to 100 stores, these, and the themed rooms are amazing. I did NOT want to leave the tartan and zips of the Punk room! Unless otherwise stated, items below are from the event, which runs until 12th July, so you will need to get a wriggle on, or shake your groove thang, boogie on over to...

Stepping out of the frame


Snapshot_001

Pheweeee at last normal service has resumed! I can't wait to get my teeth back into blogging again and I have so much that I want to share.  I had this outfit ready to blog a few weeks ago but haven't really had the chance to get around to blogging it! As a result the dress which was a luckyboard item has now vanished and been replaced by a scarf, however a brown version of the dress is available to buy at a snip for 30L. I want to mention the bag which I picked up as a freebie at Septemb Essentia. There are other freebies available too. I love this store, it's totally dedicated to bags and there is quite a good range to suit any outfit.

Peruvian textiles




colum

I'm still exploring the wonderful Autumn clothes out there and If only there were enough Lindens for everything that you want to buy! thank heavens for those great promotional freebies out there to enable to keep my addiction thoroughly topped up. Today I play with putting together a mix Peruvian style textures.

Firstly I have to mention ISON a store that I have never come across before but is demonstrating how great their designs are by giving us some very generous freebies as examples. The scarf and the shoes are what's on offer but there is also a dress to be grabbed. The shoes are set at 1L only because the designer says there was trouble setting the script to 0L hehe well I'm more than happy to part with my lindens (sorry linden) for these! I especially love the sock detail and the chunky wooden heels. The scarf comes in 2 textures so there is also a lovely charcoal option besides the one I wear in this post, but don't be long if you want to take advantage of this offer and the 50% discount on selected items in store it's only available until 3rd November.

Now the hair! this is a seasons must have if you ask me . I love the shape of the multi textured beanie hat which make it wearable with so many outfits since it has 9 options. There are also some fabulous shades to choose from, in particular the reds so go check it out!

Hunted by a Pumpkin

Perdita went on a walk in the evening. Nobody knew how she was able to see with her strange eyes. But somehow she managed to see the scarecrow on the other side of the meadow. She only wondered why it was there but forgot it then.
Until the moment the pumpkin being started to move.
Perdita couldn t belive her eyes or better she couldn t belive her buttons.
Jumping the pumpkin came closer.
When running away Perdita lost her hat.
The pumpkin started to dance on it. So she had the time to escape.
The poses and the outfits (except the striped trousers) are items from For the Love of Halloween. For the Love of Halloween will start today at 4 PM SLT. This is kind of a fair where also a minihunt is taking place. The sim looks really cool and has a big squid named "Tobi" in the middle. Some great stores take part in this event. For example "No Strings Attached", "Acid and Mala" and "It's Cake". The poses on the pictures above are all from "No Strings Attached". The pumpkinhead with the included poses is the exclusive item from that store. That means it will be sold for 100 Lindens during for the love of halloween. The other poses are in the minihunt.
Here some more items which are either exclusive items or in the minihunt. First is the exclusive item from Sweet Antidote. Its a orange black short dress with a lovely bow and a nice cut. The second is a shirt from Babycakes. The orange armwarmers are from Acid & Mala and somehow i do not want to take them off. The mushroom hat the the long hair is from Mina. The pumpkin head comes from No Strings Attached. It has 5 inbuilt poses and the idea to make something like that is just brilliant. People who love and know the Sandman books by Neil Gaiman might be reminded on Mervyn. Thats what went into my mind when seeing this pumpkin head. The grey shirt comes from name pending. The grey longshirt which isn t dirty is the item from Medley. I like the cut very much. And the outfit on the right side is well very hot and short. Its great that it is a huntitem. And i like the idea and it comes from Shush. The sneakers from Malfean Visions are very cute and i think they fit both genders. The button eyes from Battered, Bruised & Broken remind me on Coraline, an other Neil Gaiman book.
