Escaping Thoughts

A bird softly hit the window after some few moments it found the opening and managed to escape. More were allready escaping her brush. This meant it was time again. She should go back to work. If she didn t put them onto paper or an other material the things she had in her fingers escaped. At the moment it were only birds but she remembered the bread which had escaped very well. It tried to pose on a rock and it took quite a while until she managed to catch it. The birds would only confuse some biologiests and this was something she didn't mind at all. The latest round of Zombie Popcorn brand started today. The mesh dress by Epic is one of the items which is being sold there. It is available in four colours and each of them contains five sizes of the dress. It can be mixed easily with other items to go for a more grunge like style when combining it with battle boots and wristbands or when using sweeter accessories it fits great to a girlish look.
The idea of beings escaping a brush is just lovely. It comes from DownDownDown and is being sold at the gallery gift store. It is also the anniversary of this very cute event. So there is currently a hunt going on.
The hair is a hairfair release by wasabi pills. It reminds a bit on their teeloh hair but this one has a braid instead of open hair. The hairband can be tinted with the help of a hud.
Losthaven is an amazing store when it comes to clothes and more for roleplay. For example the armwraps on the picture. They can be mod (the set includes a version for guys and one for girls) and come in several colours. The brilliance of items from this stores is grounded by how versatile everything is. The armwraps go as well for postapocalyptic roleplay as well as for medivial storylines.
The make up was an item in a previous event and comes from Sweet Antidote, the boots are available at Death Row Designs.
The used pose comes from Purple Poses.

Hair Fair 2012

It's that time again! New coverings available to keep the cold away from your second life skull. It's the Hair Fair! That's 4 sims full of new hairstyles, and a good deal of bandanas! Creators donate a portion of sales from their items to Wigs for Kids. There are also many generous gifts set out, not just hair, some outfits too, but as these don't generate any monehs for the charity, please buy as well as picking up the goodies! The sims tend to be pretty full, so it can take a while (2 and bit days for me) trying to get in. So worth it. Here's a selection of some of my favourite finds. Sadly not all, there's another hair I bought that I love, yet there are some issues with the mesh, and segments of the hair, which are there when grey inbetween the colour changes on the included HUD but vanish once the colour all rezzes. I'm waiting on a response from the vendor, but if any of our lovely readers here have any ideas - please scrawl away in the comments section, it's much appreciated!. Anyway. On with the hair!

Clawtooth: Cosmic Love - Dusty Black (Hair Fair Gift). This hair is not mesh, it has a nice flow, not too 'done' as a hairstyle, which gives it a realistic feel. The colour is pretty too, not a harsh or too solid black at all.

 

[COLORS] Free D LightPink  Also a free gift, also not mesh. This is a very pretty, yet edgy style, and the creator has generously included 12 colours in the gift, each with a normal version, and one with a resize script.

::Exile:: Silent Wings: Blacks L$250 with 20% to Wigs for Kids. This is a beautifully designed mesh hair. While I rarely use a mesh enabled viewer for my general non-pic taking SL, I could NOT pass up buying this. The hair falls gracefully, and the feathers are stunning. The Blacks colour pack includes five colours, here I'm wearing 'Raven'. Alpha layers are included for hiding any pesky bits of skin, and the feathers are separate mesh, so the hair can be worn without them.

Heartless: Eva Hair (Midnight Collection) L$ 180  15% to Wigs for Kids. Another non-mesh hair - so glad to see that beautiful styles are still being made! Pack contains six colours, here I'm wearing the Dark Purple. The style reminds me of some old favourites I lost years ago. Very glad to have something similar again!

The skin worn here in these pictures is : S u g a r : StarChild [sugar] - red brow - L$799. As ever, available at the store in different shades and lots of lovely add-ons, cleavage and makeup- new location again - http://slurl.com/secondlife/The%20Slums/153/74/70

Black sun

The sun was high on the sky when she reached the builds. It was the weekend of the year when they would honor those who had died before them. The path had been long. So she was wearing comfy boots. Now that she had arrived she recognized that she must be one of the first. Later the area would be filled with people. All dressed in black. Elegant but silent.

It is Relay for Life weekend. For this last big relay for life in second life event this year many creators set up amazing builds. The one the pictures have been taken at is "The Dancing Sun" by Alia Baroque - who is not only the owner and creator of Fallen Gods Inc. but also supporting Relay for Life for years. The built will be only seeable this weekend which makes it even more special.
The dress on the picture comes from tomoto. I like how it looks elegant but still playful because of the frills.
The troy boots from Muism have been blogged before but they also work on females as they have a resize script. They are a gift in the make him over hunt which ends today.

Remember who you are

Styx was her name, not that it showed it on the 'Crazy' nametag she wore, not that she would openly tell anyone, such sharing was far too dangerous in her world. It had not always been this way, before the skies fell, and the morality of the world along with it. She had had another name, another life. Like so many others, all she had been, and all she had known had been taken away. The lies of the politicians continued, showing clearer and clearer through the gloss and spin of their marketing departments. As that came to an end, as the banks crumbled under the weight of hedgefunds and toxic debt, when the lies of public protection became martial law for the 'good' of the people, that was when things had changed forever.

Now her name was whispered in alleyways, away from the boulevards disintegrating under the weight of passing tanks and army boots. She would venture there when necessary, she was a person who could get you what you needed, for a reasonable exchange. Her name was her weapon, her weapon her name. Wanted posters bearing a blurred security camera image of her plastered the streets. She roamed them anyway, always on the lookout for something that could be useful. Through it all, the violence and the terror, she, and those like her remained true. The humanity of the good in the time before, refusing to submit to the distopian present.

I'd created this lil set up around the Diesel Works Bat [Female] It was a gift at the store, and it's definitely not all that long since I picked it up, now, I can't seem to find it - but again that could just be me. It's worth a look, has 6 poses, and versions for male and female avs.

Time to rock

The light was perfect. Just pink and yellow like he loved it. Those were the colours he always prefered even on the arrow which had been painted on his cheek by a girl he maybe would lay after the show. Well if he would manage to remember her name. It was now three years ago that they had released their first album and the time since then had been like a dream. Sometimes he was afraid that he would wake up soon but it never happened. The shows were fun although he was normaly so drunken that he hardly ever remembered them. It was now three years ago that they had released their first album and the time since then had been like a dream. Sometimes he was afraid that he would wake up soon but it never happened. The shows were fun although he was normaly so drunken that he hardly ever remembered them.
 Sometimes it is fun to style in a special way for example as glam rocker. The ziggy makeup from 22769 is great for this. It is available in many colours and looks great in any of them. To complete the look there are currently some neat items available in the make him over hunt. You need to be member of the huntgroup to be able to get those. The Bone Leather Jacket from BC322 for example. It is made of mesh and comes in several sizes. There is of course an alphalayer included. The boots from Muism are an other great gift in this hunt. They are extremly well made and remind a bit on tanker boots. The guitar and the microphone plus the speakers are all gifts from a store called Witch Babe. They sell many guitars and in the video below you can see the awesome dance which is included in the ao which comes with it. Tableau Vivant takes part in the Femboy Hunt. The gift is a skin which cost 2 Lindens. Purple poses made a set of guitar poses and the static one used for the pictures is one of them. It is possible to buy it with guitar but the poses themself also work with other guitars. Wasabi Pills made a lot of mesh hair. The Hawk one is great for fantasy styles but also great for rockers.

Ange ou Démon

There were always two paths, sometime more, but never less. Not before you had chosen, or had been chosen. Fate or destiny may decide, but there was always a choice to be made at the start. Up or Down is too simplistic, as both are everywhere. Paths divert, the roads may meet again.

Ange chose the light. It shone from her eyes, and from her very soul. She could not shift her gaze from it, nor did she wish to. In the light she saw the world, all of the good in it, in everyone. As she walked her path, having made her choice, she felt the darkness that surrounded, and did not mind. She was nothing without it. There could be no light without dark. As she held the light in her hands, she was grateful for the path she was on, and that there were others who had chosen differently.

Démon chose the darker path. Hers was the way of shadows, darkness guided her every step, and led her toward her goals. All the light she saw and felt from others in and out of the world, that pressed against her and her works just made them all the clearer. Darkness defined Light, as Light defined Darkness. The path was easy for her, it had been her choice, and suited her perfectly, she grew into it, taking joy from each step, forever pushing the balance.

Here we have two new releases from the ✚REDRUM✚ store.

+REDRUM+ ANGEL TATTOO and the +REDRUM+ AVE SATANA TATTOO

Unlike most of her designs, these are not hand drawn by Mzzy, but are an amalgamation of traditional etchings, scripts and pictagrams. Well suited for anyone playing an Angel or Demon, or anything inbetween. From what I hear, there will be an inworld store soon! For now, you can find these on Marketplace for 199L each.

Fighting, tea and innocence

The attacks were so regularly lately. Maybe the idea to attack the castle of the Hiro-Mi-Tego Family had not been the idea but it had been successful and success was what counted. Besides decent behaviour, sharp swords and perfect tea of course. Tamini once hat a choice this time was over. She would spend her whole life with fighting, gambling and seducing innocent men. At the moment her days were mainly filled with fighting, which was not bad as she had lost a lot of money during fighting and there were also no innocent men left anymore. At least there was the comfort of knowing that she was good in what she did and it was her choice. Born in a rich family she would not have needed to become a fighter at all. She also could have choosen to learn to play an instrument and when being in the right age-  if not being killed or kidnapped before - how to marry the right person. This was her parents dreamed of. Her brothers did not like the idea of loosing parts of their legacy as their sisters' dower so they started to talk a lot about swords and fighting in front of her.  Tamini was first a bit confused about all the talk. But soon she realized that why they were trying to get her into fighting. The satisfied grin in their faces when she asked them to show her how to use a Katana - oh it was annoying for her to see - but she pretended to be dumb and just so currious about fighting. Her brothers were surprised how good she was as pupil. But then there was this accident in which she somehow thought she would be using a training katana while she was definitly not. The face of her brother was not full of surprise more shocked in this moment. It was anyways the last time she saw him. Her other brothers all died in other accidents but she never was close when they happened. Or more nobody managed to see her. If they didn't want to share with her she also didn't want to share with them. Of course she didn't plan to marry it was way more fun to be unbound. Messer Company's latest release is the K98 Katana. It is made of mesh and offers a bunch of adjustment possiblities. First of all it can run with linden damage or ccs damage. Besides of this there are two sets of animations included for standing, running and walking. As other Messer weapsons there are several colour and texture options included. And there is even the choice to choose between a straight and a curved blade. The look is modern while the asian feeling is still kept. For ccs players it might be interesting to know that the katana includes four enhancements which rage from stamina stealing to racial theft. For those who like fighting in SL it is a great weapon others might enjoy it for its look.
The white makeups from PMD which are currently sold at the Zombie Popcorn Brand event are great for those who like making bright avatars. The set includes 8 of them.
MiuMin takes of course part in the current round of the Gallery Giftshop. Their item is a white kimono with angel wings. It floats nicely and lets the legs partly uncovered. It is a great outfit for roleplay. The set also includes shoes and is available in a non copy and a none trans version. The legwarmers are a favourite from Epic and the ears  from europa. Unfortunatly the posestore which made the poses does not exist anymore.
