[twisted pleasures]

The Twisted Hunt is on again and running from March, 1st til the 31st. This is the fifth hunt since it was started in March 2009, and the theme this time is 'Nevermore' - right, just like the well-known raven, and many of the prizes are indeed related to this beautiful, dark bird. Known to be one of the hardest hunts in SL, it needs indeed lots of patience, luck and sometimes indescribable camera angles to finally spot the little rotating 'cube of doom' that carries the prize, but I can assure you, the goodies are well worth the effort. 218 stores in total are waiting for you, and I wanted to show you a little selection of the prices beforehand.

Dark Command

Omen here, these days it is hard to find good male clothing that is both high quality and modern, while still retaining a 'manly' feel. It is a sad truth that masculine men who do not wish to have bulging biceps and abs showing are rarely able to find excellent prim+sculp clothing! So I made it my mission to find some interesting bits and pieces and throw together a list of interesting stores that provide them. This is what I came up with.

So what we have here is simple, and all in all not overly expensive. First up we have the suit. It is called Oppressive Force(it is also available in red and black) and is a prim set from .:Defectiva:. and while they may not have a large selection, what they do have is incredibly detailed and honestly looks fantastic. There are so many little details in this jacket that it may be hard to notice them in the screenshot. The Collar, shoulders shirt and tie are all different prims and looks stunning, not to mention the pockets buttons and belt. There is a lot of customisation with them too, with the ability to add flared pants(Think riding pants), or prim cuffs as shown in the picture. All this for $500L is really a steal.

Next up we have the tattoo and hat. The hat comes in two different versions, one with a skull and one with an oak wreat, both together in the same purchase for $150L.The name of the item itself is the M44 Crusher Cap, these hats come from [SISU] and everything from [SISU] is really a great deal, everything is under $150L and has a great selection of hats, face masks, glasses, clothings and accessories, though be warned there are some product there that may offend. ((Please note that so that none are offended this is an edited version WITHOUT any insignia. ))

The Tattoo and the eyes($100L for colour changing and glow) are from Fallen Gods, and for any of you who have not seen or been to fallen gods I cannot recommend them more. When it comes to skins, eyes or tattoos it is hard to walk past FG. Not to mention the sim itself(and those attatched to it) are all strikingly beautiful, with plenty of secret spots and free items for those who are explorers. The Tattoo is called Cataclysm and at $550L it is hard to walk past. It is a full body tattoo, from head to toe, including arms and legs and has to be seen to be believed. I really recommend it!

Now last, and certainly not least, we have the boots! The Long Combat Boots from TonkTastic are perhaps the best pair of boots I have ever seen in Second life. Why, you may ask. Well the pictures above are all the same set of boots, changed through the colour menu. There are 9 Primary colours, 9 secondary colours, 6 cap colours, 5 sole colours and a tonne of different textures to play around with, with glow options for those who enjoy a more sci-fi look. They can be military, they can be casual, they can be futuristic, but no matter how they are they look absolutely stunning. The detail on these boots is -phenomenal-. You have almost unlimited creativity with what you make with them. They aren't cheap, at $859L but when you look at the quality and the customisation in them they really could be the last pair of boots you ever buy. You can be damn sure I'm picking up a pair for myself.

Hope you enjoyed this post, look below for a link to the stores, and a refresh of the items. Leave comments on what you would like to see in the future!

Saturday freebies

I often use maid outfits in roleplay as my roleplay character helps in a store and thinks that she needs kind of an uniform for this (and because it makes me giggle). So i always like it a lot when finding a free maid dress somewhere. This one is a 2o minutes camping item from likka house. It comes with many prim parts which have a resize script. Under the skirt the avatar wear white long undies with prim legs. The dress is striped and the frills always look prefect.

Dress: LIKKA*HOUSE AliceDress-stripe- (0$ 20 mins camping)

This praise ferrets and beavers tops are from 22769. I like ferrets as well as beavers, although i secretly like ferrets a bit better so i thought those two free skirts would be a good reason to show off those shirts again. The long skirt will be on the pesca lucky board until tomorrow. The short one is the groupgift from couverture.

Top: 22769 basic heart beavers tank (7$)

Spring posing

Spending some time with Omen at my home, taking a pictures together. As he is a bit bigger than me he was so kind to hunker down so that i was able to look over him. To say the truth i only wanted to be able to see the tattoos on top of his head normaly i do not have the chance to see them.

This pose is sold on the March into Spring Market by the store which organizes the whole event, Embody Shapes and Poses. It is one of their sale items so it is sold for only 10 Linden. I needed to adjust the pose a bit as Omen is much larger than me but for that you simply could unlink the poseballs move them while sitting on them until the pose looks correctly and link them again. Its not a big thing when you know how to unlink and to link prims again.

Pose: Embody Pose MF LEAN ON ME MISM (10$)

This is the right pose for a romantic picture. Normaly this kind of pose should be used in the outside and be very romantic. Unfortunatly i did not think about this when taking the picture so it looks like Omen just collected all the glow in the dark stares i glued at the ceiling and would now let them fly in front of me. The pose is lovely i think it might also work to put something else than the stars into the hands maybe a gift? Or some food.

Pose: Embody Pose UF ALL MY STARS (0 $ Huntgift in the March into Spring hunt)

Embody is not only a store for poses they also create shapes. So it is just normal that they also sells shapes at the march into spring market. This one is named Sierra. I have to admit it is difficult for me to deal with other poses than my own but as Embody also released a new set of female poses i took the pictures of those while using the shape to show it in different positions. The poses are cool poses for those who are famous and those who like to be famous and called Celebrity.

Shape: Embody Shape F SIERRA (10$)
Poses: Embody Pose Pack F CELEBRITY (0 $ Huntgift in the March into Spring hunt)

Waiting in the Dusk

Waiting in the fog for the right moment. Controlling the gloves again if they are in the right position. Some things should not be touched with bare hands especially not in the fog.

When it comes to impressive textures LnL is one of the stores which get into my mind. I still think that London, the creator of the outfits which are sold in that store, uses all the layers of cloth like a canvas. But not for plain pictures he creates the illusion of material. A good example for this is the look of the leather on the top of the coat. It looks like it would the patterns be feelable. The coat comes as all hunt gifts from LnL in a version for females and one for males. The prim parts have all an resizescript even the collar. LnL released this leather coat as gift in the hunt for roleplay. The store also got rebuilt an other good reason to visit it to have a look.

Coat: LNL BOX OUTFIT O-130--RPH GIFT (0$ Huntgift)

I took the picture of the coat at the awesome waterland sims.
