Amazon Mischief - FFL 2014

Follow the river upstream from the ocean. Follow the twists and turn, leap cataracts and eventually you could find yourself at the camp. Angela had been here only a few weeks, the heat and light rousing her each morning from sleep. Mosquitoes and dragonflies vied in airborne currents above the flowing torrent. Smoke rose from the campfire, carrying with it the intoxicating scent of fresh brewed coffee. The others on the expedition had their reasons, their own causes dragging them the miles. Most strove for science, cataloguing and recording, some hopeful for conservation, others seeking to document what would soon be lost. Angela followed neither path. She was here to conserve, not through collecting and copying what nature produced so freely back home in some lab, but by doing all she could to ensure nature would remain out here, where it belonged. She knew there were some among the party, those with more mercenary motives, badly hidden by science. Those looking for fault lines, places where the bounty beneath the earth could be ransacked for monetary gain thousands of miles away from the lives such actions would destroy. Not if she could help it. A spilled cup of coffee on a laptop here, a stack of notes toppling into the campfire there... who could be blamed? She was saving them all, whether they liked it or not.

Fashion For Life 2014 Britt hits London

Dawn broke on the streets of the captial after a long London night. Britt was far from ready to head home; these days, it felt more like home as she walked the streets, saw the sights, was part of it all. As the sun rose, so did she. From pacing beside deserted bus stops, she headed into the heart of town. On the other side of the ocean, people were breakfasting at Tiffanys, here, she would feast her eyes on all the sights Mayfair had to offer, strutting along The Strand in killer heels. A long day, teasing the guards in their bearskins at the Palace, waving and curtseying to the Queen - she knew how to read the flags, the Monarch was at home. All the city was alive, some refined, some outlandish, all quintessentially British. Britt relaxed, leaning against the lions guarding Nelson's column. The thrum of the traffic, the cooing of the pigeons, the clinking of the buttons on the pearly kings and queens... She was home. And she loved it.

Fashion For Life 2014

Armed Face

Fashion for life a fundraising event for Relay for Life will start today. On 10 sims designers show their latest creations and help raising money for cancer research. But Fashion for Life is way more. There are events as runway shows as well as live djs. The range of items at this event is very wide. There are of course women's outfits as well as clothing for men and children. Even hair and posemakers take part. The official website contains way more detailed information.

The Sehr eye device from Crie Style is one of the most awesome items which are sold at fashion for life. It is made of unrigged mesh so it is possible to move it a bit but it is not possible to make it smaller. The device looks like a sight device with added projectiles worn directly at the head. It is an item which most likely is awesome for roleplay and besides of that also looks very good.
The skin and the shape come from Deluxe Body Factory while the dress is being made by [sYs].
The Sadie hair comes from Wasabi Pills. It is a very playful hair style with braids and a ponytail at the side of the head. The pose has been made by purple poses.

Love in the mists

They were of the mists...

They would be everywhere, part of everyone and everything. Steam rising, dew forming, tides rolling, and rivers flowing. Under the moon, the sea fret formed. As did they. They emerged from vapour just as they had entered it, coming together in a never ending embrace. Moon and starlight gave them substance, to last only as long as the night. They were poured into a well of feeling, had only to take care not to drown. In these brief hours they could step from the water onto even the driest of lands, puddles forming in their wake, evaporating just as they, with the dawn.

World Goth Fair 2014 - Dark Wings

She landed in an unknown realm, wet and dark... which she found pleasant and unpleasant at the same time. She adored darkness, it was her natural element... but all that rain? She shivered as she felt her black feathers were already glued together. How should she fly now, and stalk her prey? Yet, she knew she had no other choice whatsoever. The Dark Lord was her commander and she was to obey his orders, no matter what. She shivered for a second longer, then she clicked her talons and spread her heavy black wings. The hunt for the lost soul was on.

Greetings, ye dark creatures lurking in the shadows! You still have a few days to visit The World Goth Fair and pick up this dramatic tattoo by Fallen Gods, together with another great piece of skin art called "Widow". .... well, spread your wings, too, and flap away! :)

Skin: "Siggy Lumiere" by Essences, for the The Dressing Room Fusion - 70 L$.

Tattoo: "Tarantula" by Fallen Gods for the World Goth Fair, Donation Item for the Sophie Lancaster Foundation - 380 L$.

Ears: "Simple Elf Ears" by Mandala - 307 L$.

Wings: "Devine Wings" in Raven by Death Row Designs- 100 L$.

Claws: "Demon Hands" Female by Death Row Designs- 60 L$.

Lips: "Rival Black" by Glamorize - 1 L$.

Hair: "Siiri" in Black by EMO-tions - 245 L$ for a Black-and-White pack.

The picture was taken in the H220 sim, still wet and still wonderful. :)

Mad times in Mad City

"Follow me" she said... It's always incredibly sad when wonderful SIMs close, as MadCity will on May 31st. Madpeas are continuing - never fear - with the new Unia project keeping people in a drawn out state of excitement. The city will also, thanks to the eternal rain around The Silent Peacock Hotel, be flooded on its last day - so you can explore it underwater! There's a LOT of memories for me in this SIM, not least from Room 326, featured here with me getting my own back on the possessed TV, the amazing painting, capable of transporting the chosen few to a hellish world, looking on from behind. 

I urge you to check it out before it goes.

MadCity
Madpeas have also created this fabulous 'gamer' outfit for hunting, scheming, generally getting into trouble in.

Included are : 
- Belt (rigged mesh)
- Holster (mesh resizable)
- Knotted T-Shirt (rigged mesh standardized)
- Jean Shorts (rigged mesh standardized)
- Combat Boots (mesh resizable)
- Gun as accessory (non scripted resizable)

Skyfall to a new World

The world had changed. The sky had fallen. One way of life ended, and another began. The change had been abrupt, though it had started decades past. People had refused to see it. People had denied it, even once the effects of change were manifest. Only once it was too late did their eyes, blinded by scales of profit, finally clear. Only then went up the cry of the elite, echoing that which others had sung for years. "We need to change!" All too soon these belated truths turned to others... "It's too late." Denial turned to despair, and the aching search for someone to blame besides themselves. "Why were we not told?" "It's not our fault..." Shards of sky fell, tumbling down, scything through oceans and smashing the cities. High above, there was a new sky, and far below, new people to enjoy it. Not everything from the world before had passed into nothingness, it never had and it never would. New beings formed from all things into which creativity had been poured. All which had been loved found new form here. From the cloth she had once been, the weaver's care gave her breath. The world's old desires and pleasures gave her purpose, and a hunger. Her old design still lingered, silvery light now on her skin, her past showing clear. Her creator's taste for donuts found a place in her also, never anticipated, she intended to enjoy it, and this new world, for all it was worth.

There are times when I can be misanthropic. Even at those times, so I'm told, my rantings are hilarious enough to make it worthwhile. Other times, I'm blown away by how helpful people can be - cue the superfriends who can pick out and name a hairstyle I'm looking for from an image with no credits! <3

Skin :  :Sugar: [5] DB Avril - Teeth
Lolas : Lolas ::: Tango ::: Mesh Breasts
Tattoo :  Folly - Tintable Glaze - Serpentine - Light
Hair :  Magika [Hair] Shimmer (03)
Hairband : .{yumyums}. {Pinkie} EatMe Headband
Eyes :  .::Kre-ations::. Eclypse eyes{Neptune / Pluto}
Dress : Luas Tarna - Black

Folly, formerly Skinthesis, has opened a new mainstore, and Cane has produced some amazing tintable tattoos for the occasion. They come in Dark, Med and Light tones, but can be modded to your heart's content. They also come with appliers, making them even more versatile for those with body add ons!
Folly

The lovely Io at YumYums is at her headband madness again - seriously some of the upcoming releases are so glittery I nearly died -. This donut version was a taster (groan - didn't even intend that pun as I typed it) - keep eyes out at the mainstore for newness soon!
YumYums

There is a free script available on Marketplace which allows more flexibility with clothing layers on your Lolas. I know in the past I have managed to have more than one layer showing, but I'd be damned if I could recreate that spark of genius. This script - produced by the Lola's creator - allows this with ease. The images above show the applier blending the skintone, 'dress bra' showing the tattoo, and 'dress top' showing the dress. All changeable by HUD, or by chat command. Perfect!
