Zero

The switch your gender for 0 Linden challenge is really challenging. And Im happy that Fauna and me aren't the only ones who made a 0 Linden avatar of the other gender. Paco and Manuel from 22769 put a picture of their girl avatars in the flickrgroup. Corvus Szpiegel the owner of [Hate This] did the same. and Flash Unplugged, one of the bloggers at MD Style Watch created even several outfits for his alterego Flashette. Silverr Andel, owner of Sterling Artistry and blogger for SLdiscovery turned the girl next door into a princess. Maitresse Couturier created a boxer for 0 Linden and blogged him. Khan Omizu put a girl with a hat on flickr. And Aili Panthar created a free male na'vi.
As my first attempt to create a male avatar failed at the eyes I used by mistake I decided to try it again. This time I wanted to put a softer looking guys avatar together and I wanted him to have shoes too. So I spent some time at mother goose to win a male skin on the lucky board. After that I decided to make a male shape myself. Luckily Paco and Manuel were willing to help me with the face because that was really tricky for me. I used the male woodelfshape from the library as start but I hope that the shape does not look very much like the woodelfshape anymore. The shape will be a gift in the Eclectic Equations group with full perms. Just join the group it will be in the notices. After that I got some of the free hair from exile and eyes from the Sterling Artistry camping chair. Exile has three free hairstyles for guys and some for women as well. They all look great and are mod. Sterling Artistry also has normaly two pairs of eyes as groupgift. After the base of the avatar was done it was time to get some clothes. Most tricky was to get shoes. Luckily I remembered that Ordinary gives out some sneakers as profilepick gift. The trousers from 7style are sold on the marketplace for 0 Linden.

The fisting shirt is a permanent freebie from a:s:s. It makes me laugh so I like it and the shading is great as well. To add some detail I got a wristlet from the ruru@pino camping chair. Kumaki glasses style have headphones on the luckyboard and cherries for the mouth. Actchio still have their gift from the goodshithunt in the store it contains a unisex tattoo. In my opinion the look is fine.

I decided to look around for some more free stuff for guys. Poison has two jeans as groupgift. 22769 has also a groupgift every month. This month its a Life guard outfit with even a pipe. A:S:S just put out new gifts for residents which are younger than 30days. The suit is also a groupgift it comes from G&T Creations . The trousers worn with the fisting t-shirt are a groupgift from sey as the ones next to them. The Sexsi one is also from a:s:s. The hair with the hoodie comes from colors. It was a bit surprising how tricky it was to get jeans but normaly some of them are always a huntgift somewhere. As I tried not to use huntgifts and freebie stores it was a bit difficult.

As Ao I would recommend the free bright ao. It is available at the marketplace.
It would be great if some more people would give the idea to make a free avatar of the other gender a try. Simply join the flickr group and put a picture of the avatar with the description of the items you used in it.

Well coated

Standing at a place at isle of wyrms and waiting for the rain. With Aprilgroupgift from Caverna obscura the rain won't be able to do any harm.And it looks great. Its a very well made coat. It comes with a hood.
When writing /3 hood hide the hood which is down disappears so its possible to wear the uphood without looking silly because of having two hoods.
I like the way the coat moves very much. I had a hard time to make a picture of the movement of the coat but finally i managed to make this picture of the movement of the coat.

Coat: Caverna Obscura Monthly Gift Box ~ APR : Green Cloak (0 Linden)
Dress: blogged
Paws: blogged (and i suppose they aren t available anymore in this colour)

Magic Stickey

Once upon a time a little dragon went into a big forest. Suddenly she found a shiney stickey on the ground. She admired the stickey and wiggled her tail excited.
Unable to control herself she grabbed the stickey with her teeth not knowing that it was a wand.
She looked rather confused when she was suddenly turned into a glittering fae. And even more when she saw her feet. What, she thought, those things are feet?
She met a magi who was able to help her to get at least decent feet again. But she still wonders if she will be a dragon again one day.
How will the story end? Will she be released from the curse of the wand she did pick up in dragonish greed?

Here a picture of this wonderful dress. Its from Ruru@pino. A very sweet japanese shop. I got there through a hunt and always loved the items which are sold there. The dress is named Malmelo like the fruits. It comes with the crown and the fitting shoes. I love how shiny it is and also the feathery details at the legs and the skirt. In the store is also a lucky board with a fitting wristlet to the dress. To get to the dress you have to choose the teleport named Outfit in the store.

Outfit: Ruru@Tear [Malmelo] (250 Linden)
Ward: Ruru@Tear [Marmelo&Karin-WAND] (Groupgift)
Paws: Ruru@Tear [Snow Strawberry]-Boots (20 minutes camping)

Hearts and blue Chairs

At the moment the Cupid Heart Hunt is going on. Id like to show some of the hunt gifts.

Some dogs like chocolate. This outfit contains some chocolate so i had to recognize that it attracts wolfs. Or maybe he thought that there is a cat because of the boots. An other reason could be the munch pixie - food envy.

The Fireplace is very nice. I made some chocolate on it.

Red Queen And White Queen And Alice And All

Oooooh i got some nice stuff for u today ^.^

Do u know about Ruru@Pino? The most amazing japanese shop full of glowy jewel-like clothes and accessories. And with a stunning rose garden where i went mad with a camera today hehe...

AND two lucky chairs YAYZ!

From one lucky chair at Ruru@Pino i got this most beautiful lolita dress, the workmanship is so lovely, its the MAZE dress. U will feel like a junior princess in this dress, i sure do! SO AWESUM *dies*:

From the other lucky chair at Ruru@Pino u can get this uber-faery words-fail-me-its-so-awesum set of wings, mini head-wings, rose headpiece and rose choker, the Monarch set, IT IS SO AWESUM IM DYING OF CUTENESS HERE:

These wings have an amazing rose wreath at the back, and they do this little flutter and release a cascade of cute little green leaves... awwwww.... bless...... *dies of cuteness*

And im wearing a mega cute glowy butterfly bracelet, this is also from Ruru@Pino *here*, its a shop opening giftie though its now 10L since the shop has been open a while, totes gorgeous any time u wanna do white and innocent:

If im too cute for too long i get seasick. So i gess u have noticed my totally amazing dark-fae grunge skin which grounds my outfit back into some kind of proper goth credibility (to keep Alecks happy):

This uber-awesum skin is the latest Red Queen group gift, the Envy skin. U should join that group and get it now it is also to die for lol *dies of awesumness*.

And. See the white crystal flower necklace? It's free also at Ruru@Pino, group giftie i think, find it *here* along with some other freebies and cheapies.

Then there is the ZERO linden PA*N*DA dress that is a giftie at the same spot at Ruru@Pino with a real carnivale feel its so cute *dies....* nah i won't say it u get the idea lol:

And this skin? Yeh i know its also to die for. Its one of my all time favie skins, the Feline skin from the late lamented Fleur skin emporium par excellence that is no more (though happily it has metamorphosed into the equally awesum 5th & Oxford). So, u can't get it any more i think. Maybe there is still an outlet shop for Fleur somewhere round?

i've died so many times during this post of cuteness and awesumness that its amazing i can still type my closing sentence really ^.~

But that's wot i'm gonna do... so bid u farewell and enjoy ^.^

(pssst! Don't miss the pose ball camp for a mystery item in the rose garden at Ruru@Pino! A mystery for u to solve since i haven't unpacked it yet ^.^ )
