Frozen Socks

The air was hot and warm. It was an other day at which the air conditioner did not work. Sandra did not care. She stayed in bed, playing with her hair and reading. There was nothing else to do for her. It was summer and way too hot to move. Strangely enough Sarah was wearing socks. They were pink and comfy. And she had put them into the fridge for some hours. Now they were cooling her feet.

After the last page she slipped out of the bed. The story had been good. It had been about demons and how they influenced people. After starting to read she had not been able to stop. The maincharacter was trying to found a school in the middle of a dschungle. He was the son of unbelieveable rich parents and wanted to do something good with all the money he owned. But there were always obsctacles. Sometimes a wall wasn't stable or the roof had a leak. Instead of giving up the man tried harder and harder and finally started to listen to the shaman of one of the tribes whose children were supposed to become pupils in the school. The shaman made him take part in their rites and ceremonies. First everything seemed to be just fine but the rites became darker and darker but as the construction of the school seemed to proceed the young heir kept taking part in them. At the end it turned out that the whole tribe prayed to old gods with unspeakable names. The heir tried to flee but the shaman bound one of his gods to him so that he became possessed. Sarah was still pondering about the end of the story. It seemed like the young man became normal again. But then there was a description of his shadow behaving in an odd way. Anyways it was time to get a new pair of iced socks.

In Which Sian Reviews Certain Curiosities

Marleen Vaughan, who Sian understand to be a longtime creator in Second Life, very recently opened her House of Curiosities, her stated intent being a seller of really random stuff. Sian got some review copies. Marleen's stuff has a nice retro feel, so Sian took herself to New Babbage for the pictures. It sort of felt right.

Sian Wears:

V. Summer Swallows Dress L$93

Sian likes the cut and style of the dress. Note that the prim skirt and belt are a) made of sculpties, so they don't swish about or anything and you may have to stick to one or two stands or put up with your hands delving inside it, and b) have the dreaded resize scripts. At least the item is copiable, there is only one of these scripts in each item, and it's deletable with a single click. It's a nice, pretty dress in a nice cut and it's cheap and very well-made. So thumbs up (note the stockings aren't included - they're from an old Bare Rose set).

Sian doesn't like resize scripts much. She still has nightmares about a Japanese creator who shall remain nameless who makes some outfits out of hundreds and hundreds of teeny tiny prims, every one of which has a re-size or show/hide script in it without a delete button. If you're going to put them in, writing a good script that only requires it to be in the one prim and making it go away when you're done is about as good as it gets. Marleen does that. So that's OK.

Sian Wears:

V. Artist Mafia Hair L$93

Now Sian doesn't normally wear hair, but if she did, she would wear something like this, because this is great. It's modifiable, and if you click on the beret you can change the colour. The hat has six colour options (the grey one isn't pictured above because Sian is not very good at GIMP and couldn't figure out how to fit it in) so it goes with most outfits. It comes with a hairbase, but honestly, you might find yourself using other hairbases in your collection or none at all, since it works fine without. It's well worth 93 of your Lindens.

Sian Wears:

V. Sinister Goggles L$76

Also pictured:

V. Childhood Dreams Wall Mount L$76

The goggles are a nice cheap steampunky find. Modifiable, Sian found it easy to shrink the strap down to fit her head and appreciates the opportunities for customisation these present (Sian might recolour the lenses next time she wears them, for example).

On the right, the Childhood Dreams Wall Mount. The blogger pack actually had all this stuff packed inside, but you can buy it as a furniture item. The texture on the bear's head is exactly like a teddy Sian had when she was little. That's a teensy bit disturbing. Which is sort of the point.

Sian Wears:

V. Telephone Hat L$156

This is genius. Seriously, Sian's so wearing this the next time she goes clubbing. It's deranged and funny and quirky and Sian loves it. Note that Sian's copy doesn't appear to be modifiable, but it fits all right (Sian's head is an average size) so that's not an issue. (Edit: Marleen forwarded Sian a hat with the correct perms, so it's modifiable. Which is nice. SP)
