Dirty Turkey

Busy, Busy, Busy.   How can it possibly be halfway through November already?

Halfway through November is halfway through The Depraved Nation's  Dirty Turkey Hunt!

So, you should still have time to make it through all the stops if you hurry, nearly 150 stores, so better get a wriggle on!  Here are some of my highlights from the prize haul. All prizes are free to purchase, all you have to do is find them!

One noticeable difference with this hunt made things a little more difficult, but it's a step the creators have taken to keep the hunt a hunt. On some viewers, people have long used area search to cheat while hunting, taking out all the fun, and cutting the time they spend in each store. Part of the fun of hunting, for me, is to get to browse through stores I may not have ended up in otherwise. This, infact, has led me to some of my all time favourite designers and stores. As a way to curb this area search cheating, most of the stores in the hunt have named their hunt prize object something random - which I can only agree with, and take steps while hunting to make sure I know which objects and folders came from the hunt in my mess of an inventory. So if you are setting out on your hunt, keep an eye on your recent items, perhaps move them into a folder before logging off, so you don't lose out on any of these goodies. Of course, if your inventory is organised... can you do mine?

The nicely detailed 'Fascinating Fascinator' with its succulent flower centerpiece is an elegant addition to a variety of styles and available in 16 different colours for a mere 125 L$ per piece.

[hurry!]

Probably out for the last day today [October, 31st] are the gorgeous mesh jumpers from Kauna, which are a group gift and entirely free in store. Available in the male standard sizes and adorned with the cute Halloween-themed bone- and pumpkin prints, they're certainly not to be missed, so come over and grab your copy before they're gone forever! (Just in case you're too late, I'm sure you'll fall for their latest release, the cozy Fjord jumpers in a thick knit and traditional pattern, too. Winter is just around the corner!)

[through the shadows]

Climbing the old house's facade was one of the easier tasks, his undead muscles pumped and his thin, pale fingers digging into the plaster as he eventually hauled himself over the balcony's railing, where he paused for the length of a heart's beat. With his head tilted, he inhaled deeply to catch it again, this incredible scent that had lured him out of his hideout and into the night, this bittersweet perfume of a life calling him with its burning wish to be ended in one last outburst of passion. As the smell coiled against his nostrils once more, so seductively mingled with the delicious throbs of a weak heart, he walked towards the tall balcony doors and placed his hand against the cold glass. Of course he'd answer this one's silent prayers for redemption. In the very end, he'd always been a... helpful person.

Free stuff in this post! The lovely hair with its attached bowler hat is a Halloween-related group gift from Dura that comes in a million of colours and in both resize- and unscripted versions. A likewise stunning gift for the girls has been set out as well, so make sure to have a look in store. The skin I'm wearing is a generous group gift from Tableau Vivant and is a gloomified version of Marilyn, their latest release. You can either grab it from the group's archive or in store, too. Not free, but certainly awesome looking - [Pumpkin]'s mesh tweed coat, which is just the right thing for grey autumn- and icy winter days - scarf attached!

[fangkini]

Schadenfreude is one of the many participants of the Starlust Monster Beach Party on Twomoons Island, a Halloween-themed event that runs until October, the 31st. The store offers a quirky-creepy collection of items, like the shown Fangkini, bikinis with bats and eyeballs, lingerie with eyeballs... did I mention eyeballs yet? You can also find them on jewellery, a bowtie, a hat and a lovely ruffled skirt for the gals there! But seriously now, it's a really cool event you shouldn't miss out on. Some of the other shops that offer their gloomilicious wares are Clawtooth, Pig, U&R Dogs, Miasnow, Silent Sparrow, Nomine, +Blue Blood+ and many many more! Hop over to fill your treat bucket and play a little with the tentacles!

[ears and necks]

I can never resist buying stretched ears in SL, probably because I have them in RL, too, and want to check how 'real' they're looking, so I was more than pleasantly surprised and excited when I saw [Mandala]'s advertisement for their new release. Created from unrigged mesh, you can choose between 5 hole sizes, tunnel- or plug ears, 210 plug arts, 88 tunnel colours, 40 piercing- and 18 diamond colours - and all that in one pack! A HUD allows you to tint your skin, resize the ears and change between the different motives and shades, and there is also the possibility to pick if you're wanting to alter the left, right, or both ears at once. You can see some of the variants in the picture above. All taken together, it's a gorgeous piece of work and definitely worth its money!

After my ears got a new 'outfit', it felt like my neck was in need of a make over as well. And there's been so many opportunities to buy some truly unique and great jewelry lately! At the Cinema Event, for example, Maxi Gossamer is offering one of her stunning necklace sets, the 'Peaceful Love' Dogtags (shown on the left). Also at Cinema, and shown on the right, you can purchase the spacy necklace from .:* LOULOU&CO *:. called ::COSMOS::. And at The Mens Dept, KOSH seduced me with their Copeck necklace, which is available in three different shades of metal. A matching armband is available, too, so make sure to add these awesome necklaces to your jewellery folder before they're gone!
