Surprises

They found the house in the late afternoon. They knew that the weather would change in the evening so this was more than a welcome surprise. It meant they could rest.  Fizzla had to slice the electric lock of the door which took a while. But it meant that somehow the house seemed to have electricity which was a surprise as most devices had been destroyed in the catastrophe. It gave them the hope that it would be a good safehouse for a while. Especially since they had not seen any tracks of others in the area. When they finally got inside they were amazed although not everything they found inside seemed to be of use for them.

The first picture has been taken in the Stillness in Time Skyloft from 22769 Bauwerk. The skybox is made of mesh and is perfect for those who like a lot of wall space for pictures. It also already has an artwork inside (which can be hidden).
Epic made a helmet which reminds on the helmet worn by tank girl in the comics with the same name. Different from the comics this one comes with cat ears. It is very well textured and all the little details make it look really cute at the moment it is being sold as a donation item at fashion for life. Moola created a bunch of t-shirts. The one on the pictures shows a monkey. The Melody skirt from Somnia is textured so that it looks like the keys of a piano. Both items are made of mesh and come in the standard sizes. The ingrid mesh hair from wasabi pills is a playful and slightly wild cut. It also has the benefit of fitting well under helmets in case of not wanting to wear a helmet without hair.  
Bliensen + MaiTai created heels for fashion for life. The shoes are available in many colours and each of those colours comes with a hud which allows to change the tone as well as the colours of some parts of the shoes. The tones are all very vibrant and having the chance to switch between tones allows to match them perfectly to an outfit.

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.


Wooooo Fashion for Life! Relay! Relay! Such an amazing event! Even better, as there are SO many vendors put out by each wonderful creator, each offering different percentages of the price paid for the item to go directly to charity to help fight cancer.

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.

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$.

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
