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!

Jack or Jill

It had been a long day. It had been a long hard day. It had been a long, hard productive day. They had trawled through almost a hundred stores, searching for just the right items, catching up each like a prize. feet were aching, eyes were sore, night had fallen, and morning sun now licked the edges of the windows. Hunting for bargains was only ever the start, once you found everything you were looking for, you had to haul the loot home, open it up, and try it all on.

New clothes, accessories, a whole new look - theirs just for the taking.

\o/ Jack or Jill time again! \o/

For the uninitiated - Depraved Events each year host Jack or Jill - a gridwide hunt of two paths, male and female, each with around 50 stores to search for a prize. Prize items range from shoes to skins - and everything in between - especially in this round - socks! There will be more posts from me detailing some of the prizes from this years hunt; for now, here's the details.

Also shown - not part of the Jack or Jill hunt - but certainly useful for many of the prizes - are the

 Slink Female Feet (AvEnhance). These MESH beauties boggled my mind at first - as I tend not to read instructions - just get all stuck in, and end up with no legs, then grey legs, then no legs again - but WOWZA. Once I got things sorted out - these have totally taken over from my other Slink feet which are all now a few years old. The look is great - the HUDS are intuitive, and it was easy to colour match. Appliers are being made by an ever increasing number of skin designers - and now clothing specialists are getting in on the action. The Stockings shown above from C h a r y are a look I really love - half on - half on the foot, giving a realism so rare until now in SL!  The feet are available on Markeplace - or at the Slink mainstore for L$675.

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...
