Sketch Artist

Knock, Knock, Knock. No answer, no reply. Looking around, he checked the number on the building, it had seemed such an unlikely spot after all. Reaching into his pocket he pulled out a folded note. Torn from thick heavy paper, its edges feathered with fine graphite lines, the fade out of some sketch were overwritten with a confident hand. The address was right, and the time... "Hey" the call spun him on the spot. There she was, the girl with the sketchbook. Grinning, he moved to walk toward her until she held up a hand. "No" she paused, letting her bag drop to the ground, crouching to rummage in it, and rising again with a sliver of charcoal in her hand. "Stay just where you are." As she spoke, more like her appeared, each with sketchpad in hand. Soft murmurings of voices drifted across the lane to him as they nodded to each other. "The light here is perfect..." she said, settling down next to her bag on the cobblestones, her hand already tracing the lines of the building behind him onto the page. "Now, take off your shirt." Changing things up a bit, with one for the bois. More from District 5!

Endless Summer Surfing

They had been down at the beach for hours, the sun had risen, and they had talked. As the tides came and went, they moved with them, riding the waves when the swells rose over hidden sandbars offshore.

Exhausted, from time to time they would ride a wave all the way in to the beach. Jumping into knee high crystalline turquoise water, feet sinking into shifting sands they hauled their boards with them, finding more purchase at the tide line, driving the boards deep to try off in the sunshine as they rested. As warm as the water could be, being out there for hours, toying with the chilly undertow took its toll. The rest in the sun, now high in the sky, was a welcome change, even as the beach began to fill with day trippers.

Families rarely made it this far down the coast, too far away from the all inclusive resorts for too many of the brash rich kids to venture away from room service. The day trippers who came were mostly of their kind, here to appreciate the beauty of sand and surf, seeking both solace of self, and fun with their friends. Brushing sand off their drying skin, shaking it from their hair, thoughts turned to food, and friends. Spotting Chloe walking towards them along the shore, smiles would curl their lips. There would be more time for surfing as the moon replaced the sun, now was the time to relax and enjoy the day.

 I'm sorry it's been a little while in coming, if only all lives were as pleasant and easy as a day at the beach. Anyway, here we have more items from the Depraved Nation Endless Summer Hunt. With some things to please the boys! The hunt runs until July 20th - you can find all the hints and SLurls here...

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.

The annoying piratefish

She enjoyed the time at the dock. The weather was perfect and so she just let the sun shine on her body.

In summer she went nearly every day to the beach. She spend her time with sitting in the sun. Sometimes she watched the whales, but often she just dreamed.

It was relaxing. She never swam but she used to change her towel every day. Sometimes she even lost her towel because of piratefish. Those piratefish disturbed her with odd songs. They swam under the dock and sang "humans are like cookies" and sometimes really nasty songs. When she got angry she threw her towel on them. The piratefish pretended that they would get hurt and whimpered normaly very loud. Then they disappeared for a week. They had a secret business in which they sold used-towls to squids. Pestering sunbathing people was a very effective way to get used towels.

Ducknipple takes part in the skate'n surf hunt and put a striped bikini into the huntgift. It comes on several layers with primbows. The design is wellmade and the bikini is just cute. The towel with the poses is one of the latest release from just a pose. It has five different inbuild textures and contains eight pinup poses. The poses are great and sensual so its amazing that they are also included in the set so that they could be used without the towel.

Towel: { Just A Pose } Pin Up Beach Towel (75 L$ taste of SL )

Short Huntitems

Ducknipple always has great huntgifts. And this month their hunt gifts are very short and sexy and with animal print. The textures are quite simmilar. I personally like the violet dress better but i think the golden one might be a great one for roleplay. I love that Ducknipple manages to make so good looking items with mainly useing textures. Its an great store and they are even so kind not to hide their huntgifts on mean places. So its always relaxing when looking for huntgifts in that store.Left: TVDH from Ducknipple :) (0$ Huntgift)

Missing Ben

Laying at home and missing Ben. He is not very big and his tail is just so short.
The thought that he is all alone at a place where wild owls are is just horrible.
Maybe he isn`t alive anymore.
So at the end it might be a good idea to go to search him. The rolling at the floor caused a urgent need to change the clothes.
When being back in the park i met a bird.
It was very communicative.
And not afraid of anything.
When it balanced on my finger it was hard not to laugh because his little feet tickled me.
It whistled something that sounded like "Ben".
So i held it closer to my ear. And yes i was right. The bird knew why i was in the park.
It guided me to a little hill.
Then it flew away.
I sat down and after some minutes i saw something black coming closer.
It was my friend Ben. His fur looked a bit messy but he seemed to be fine.

The bird poses are a new release from No Strings Attatched. They are sold at the summer of love. And they are lovely. I like the one very much which looks like the bird is flying away or landing.
The poses with the rat are the donation item from No Strings Attatched for Operation Squegee. As the Operation Squeegee bazaar is over they are going to be sold in the store (and the Lindens will still go to Operation Squeegee as it will take ages to get rid of all the oil in the ocean and at the coasts).
The first poses are called "Black Dog". As english isn`t my mothertongue i needed to ask for the meaning of that and "Black Dog" means "Depression".
The outfits are two current Hunt items from Ducknipple. The textures are very well made.

Poses in the flat: 'NSA' - The Black Dog (SoL gift)
Poses with the Bird: 'NSA' - Blue Bird (200 Linden)
Poses with the Rat: 'NSA' - "A Friend Like Ben" (250 Linden)

Outfit in the Flat: Ducknipple : Sonnet - Blue (0 Linden VF Hunt gift)
Outfit in the Park: Ducknipple : Hurley layered - Black / Blue (0 Linden Mad Pea July Hunt gift)
