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.

Míwil
Delimbiyra adored flying. She could never understand her elven brothers and sisters who
always opted for a much more traditional way of transportation... walking on
the ground. Maybe because they were actually her half-brothers and
half-sisters, Míwil's mother being a fairy, a light, fragile, fluttering creature
who couldn't stand the dark woods and one day simply disappeared? Míwil mourned
her mother for years... then, one day, she discovered the beauty of flying. The
wind in her hair... the feeling of freedom. "Thank you, Mother..." -
she thought and soared up in the cool night air, towards the full moon and the
stars.
Dress: "Evelyn"
in Aqua by Les Encantades. Anouk Haiku and her brand, Les Encantades, are
another new discovery at the Fantasy Faire. When I first arrived to her shop I
couldn't believe my eyes: the gowns and outfits were beautiful, available in lovely
gem colours with very pretty detailing, and the prices were more than
reasonable... so I started shopping with a certain frenzy, I must say. :) The gown
I'm showing you here is available in the main shop only, but "Les
Encantades" has some beautiful RLF donation items in one of the cheerful
little huts at Wiggenstead Mooring - pay a visit there, and pick up either the
"Giulietta" gown in Ruby, or "Edda" in Summer, in order to
donate to RLF (200 L$ each).
Necklace
and tiara: "Gilgalad" by Bliensen + Mai Tai - available at their shop
at The Faery Court (349 L$ each, with a colour change HUD). To me, Bliensen +
Mai Tai was "the shop with the cute pug in their logo" ...until now,
when I discovered the delicate and beautiful fantasy jewellery offered by Plurabelle
Laszlo at the Faire. Plurabelle, thank you for the goodies, you've stunned me!
Skin: The
Plastik - Astrali "Io" by The Plastik, blogged here.
Ears:
"Young Elven Ears" by 22769 - a goodie from last year's Fantasy Faire.
Tattoo: "Tribalien
Tattoo" in Minimal by LaNoirSoleil - available in their shop at Wiggenstead
Mooring during the Fantasy Faire (74 L$).
Antlers: "Springtime
Antlers" by LaNoirSoleil - these flowery antlers (that come together with
a HUD that allows you to adjust the colour of the antlers, the beads and the
flowers as well) will be available soon at a new event called "Kensington
Gardens", where LaNoirSoleil will be one of the three guest designers. The
event opened on May 7th. I know the FF is keeping you busy, but yet... hop over there for a short visit,
Hair: "Roosje"
in Light Brown by Mina Hair - this hair fatpack is a special gift from the currently
running Enchantment event. In order to get it you have to purchase one item
from the participating designers, then visit the other shops to have your special
gift card stamped... for the hows and whys, please visit the event homepage

Relay and Fashion for Life in 2013 is a massive event, with some of SL's best designers putting what are often exclusive objects, items and outfits up for sale to raise money for the American Cancer Society. You can find the Fashion for life SIM here.
I do have to say that I'm concerned that the organisers may not be making the most of the event. Following the link on the SL login screen, or by searching for the event, you get to the SIM above (often under the floor). Here, you can find the gatchas - where you randomly get one of several different versions of an item by paying a low low price. This is of course, great - but this is all that many visiting the event seem to find.
I was walking around for ages, buying from the gatchas, and searching for the stores. Many MANY others (so it wasn't just me not knowing where to go) were doing the same, confusion about the lack of stores was leading to annoyance.
To make things clear - the seven SIMS around the main Fashion for Life SIM, named and styled after the seven wonders of the ancient world are where you find the stores. I tp'd to one as a last gasp hope before giving up and leaving.
THERE THE STORES WERE! I started imming those who had been similarly frustrated in the main SIM - and sadly many were too annoyed at the time they had spent there already to want to go shopping. This is potentially a massive loss of revenue, so if you go, PLEASE let those around you know!
I've not even made it to all of the SIMs yet - I will be back, most likely with enough new stuff for another post.
Relay for Life 2013 is on now! Here in RL, Cancer Research UK has just begun a new style of ad campaign to raise money for the cause. Very different to earlier campaigns, focusing on the sadness, and hope that go hand in hand with a cancer diagnosis, this is all about fighting back. It's positive, it's inspiring, it's time. Go shopping, spend all you can, get fantastic stuff while donating to the most worthwhile cause of all. Life.

The mission had been easy. She only had to go to the lost church and to steal a paper somebody had left there in a hole between the bricks of the wall. Of course there had been creatures sneaking around the building to keep beings away. Mirror salamanders which played tricks on the imagination so that people saw a boring officebuilding and other creatures. Trista had enough dragonblood to be able to see through all their tricks. And even more she was resistant against the effects of Sanravankraut. This herb which only was found in a hidden part of a german forest caused that all magical creatures fell asleep. All but dragons which made it to one of their prefered weapons. Trista normaly dried it to smoke it in a pipe, so that she could use the smoke to put creatures which acted not as seh wanted to sleep. At this mission the only problem was that she needed to keep the illusion of the office building up while the mirror salamanders were sleeping. Of course she was just stealing a message of one of her foes but friend or foe did not matter when it came to keeping the humans believe that there was no magic in the world.
The visual hunt is a not very long hunt with great gifts. Its inspired by asian popculture. The Visual Dynasty outfit from Gomun Horangi comes in a female and a male version. The primparts are mod. The dragon on the shoulderpad is a great detail. The facemask with the cat is a part of the huntgift from Bliensen + MaiTai. It also comes in a male and a female version. The other parts of the huntgift are the mask in a panda and a skull version. The Barbs &Blood Slouchie Digi Warmers paw pack which Epic sells at the Zombiepopcorn Brand contain also a version without paws. Those are very well combineable with prim or meshfeet. The hair being used for the picture is the ahiga hair from Wasabi Pills. Its a very special hair as its available in a version which is combat scripted. The pose being used is contained in the pipe from Rozoregalia. The picture has been taken at Fear Valley the latest addition to the City of Lost Angels Simchain.

I'm straying here from my usual look. Not necessarily too much style wise just with the shape. My regular shape is Lana from CS Shapes but when I was given Cassandre to try, I found that it gave me the opportunity to experiment with a different look. Cassandre is less realistically/idealistically proportioned and as such gives a more 'animated' look in my opinion which works perfectly with Fashionably dead skins which I've always admired. So decided to take advantage of the great range of skins currently available at Collabor88 to experiment with the look and was thrilled with the outcome.
The hair is a gift at the 'With love again ' hunt from Sugarsmack whose designs never fails to please me. More details of the hunt can be found HERE it runs until the 6th January. Next I wanted to mention is a little store where I picked up the tights from and is only currently available on the marketplace. It has the most wonderful cute little vintage feel items at bargain prices so go take a peek!
