STEAM - the Hunt preview I

She was content, very content. It had cost her feet but this was a price she was more than willing to pay. Finally she had managed to let her house fly. And who would miss having feet if having a flying house? Instead of whimpering after the big explosion (she had tested some really intresting things) she spend the time she needed to heal on building a pair of boots which allowed her to walk as well as before. The technology she developed because of that helped her a lot to solve the problems with the house. Steam was the solution she never had supposed that.

The fourth round of STEAM - the Hunt is going to start at the 1st March. This time more than 180 Stores are going to take part. I d like to show some previews of the gifts. The upper picture has been taken in the gift from Morigi Steam . As seeable it is a skybox. The windows could be closed and opened as well as the curtain. The textures are elegant in my opinion. I like the silver leaves a lot.

Skybox: STEAM HUNT 4 - 69 - Morigi Steam (0$ hunt gift)

D & M Dream Furniture also have a skybox as huntgift. As the Skybox from Morigi Steam many metal textures have been used. It is even possible to clean the windows. The bucket on the little table has such an animation inbuilt and the towel on the bucket gives when being touched a piece of cloth which could be attached at the hand. The skybox is 25 x 38 metres and partly furnitshed allready. There are some pictures and even a fire place.

The items from Alkahest are perfect to furnitsh the found skyboxes. That store has a wonderful lamp with gears, some picture frames made of gears and even a flower with a gear as hunt gift. The lamp is very lovely in my opinion. Not only the bulb on the top shines also the two gears at the side light the room.

STEAM HUNT 4 - [134] - [Alkahest] (0$ hunt gift)

Zoe's Garden made of course something for the garden. A fountain made of a big gear. The water makes sounds which is calming. The textures are in shades of dark red and brown just steampunkish.

Fountain: STEAM HUNT 4 - 101 - ZOE'S GARDEN

When looking at the item from Arkigrafx i was more than confused. It is a very beautiful building but not very big. It looks very beautiful but i found no machine or something like that in the inside. So when reading the notecard to the item i had a good laugh when recognizing that i had been confused by a public toilet. The item is named Steampunk Vespasiano. It is an public toilet which really are named after Vespasian.

Building: STEAM HUNT 4-#111-Arkigrafx (0$ hunt gift)

Of course the Hydraulic Boot are an hunt gift as well. I like the idea a lot. For my avatar i had to make them much smaller which was not very tricky. They could be worn with or without alpha layers. I liked them better without but maybe not everybody has no problem with having an avatar who has Hydraulic boots instead of feet. For those it works fine to wear the boots without the alphalayer. The legs are seeable between the rods. The kimono isn't a hunt gift. It comes from 22769. The monocle has been a hunt gift some time ago from Super possessed.

Boots: STEAM HUNT 4 - [#43] - [gilded] (0$ hunt gift)
Kimono: 22769 ~ casual couture Vintage Series "Rator Black" (210 Linden)
Monocle: Super Possessed - Monocles (old huntgift)

Free black and white

Sometimes its great to find a nice free dress. I liked this one as soon as i saw it. Its a simple black and white dress coming with a fur collar and sleves. Its that kind of dress which fits not nearly every occassion like shopping, going to the cinema or visiting an exhibition. Just something which is nice to have in the closet. The scripts in the dress made me laugh as they are kind of suicidal scripts. After having used them they ask you to delete them. This is a very nice idea to build the scripts like this.

Dress: *Honey*Soul Jersy Dress(Group-Gift) (0$)

Morning at the sea

Looking really tired at the morning. And not really being awake as well. But at least wearing a dress with a corset which forces the body to stand more or less straight.

But after a wave it was time to take off the corset. It is one thing to stand straight but it is something else to be forced by a wet corset to do so. But the dress looks cute worn on both ways.

Florence is a new dress from Blue Blood. It could be worn on many different ways and is also available in lots of colours. I liked green and black best. The dress could even be worn as lingerie. It comes with fitting socks, three kinds of skirts and sleves. The black version is a version which only members of the blue blood group could buy. There are many benefits for members of that group. For example the fatpack of the dress is also only available for those and there are many free dresses and if i remember correctly there is also a lucky board which is only available for the members of the blue blood group.


Dress: +++BB+++ Florence (one colour 300$ fatpack 750$ and for the black one you need to be a member in the blue blood group. 50$ to join but you will get many gifts and Blue Blood is great)

Garlic oh yes

When the princess got back she was more than surprised that nobody was there to greet her. She was pretty annoyed. But then she had the feeling that something was wrong. Or did everything work out as she had planed it? That her male sibling would be that silly was nothing she had been able to belive. At least the town seemed to be empty. This could be a good sign.

Searching for her servants and all the other human property went to the park. She was getting lightly angry when realizing that the streets were not as clean as they should be. There was even a leaf which made its way under her feet. She needed to talk to those who would be most probably still in the city.

So she went in one of the darkest corners of the town to have a talk with him. She was surprised when seeing him again. He seemed to be much smaller than he used to. What had happend to the king of the rats. But he did not seem to have lost the respect of the other rats.

Their conversation was not long. It turned out that she had been tricked. Being asked to marry to increase the power of her family she had been sent away. But in this time her brother who always had been jealous on her had managed to force all inhabitants of her town to move into his. It made her grin. Of course he had known about his plans. And she had had much time to figure out a plan to trick him. It had taken a long time but at the end she had managed to create garlic which looked and behaved like humans. When imagin the face of her brother when he would try to drink the blood of such a being she had to laugh. And the small kink of the rats grinned up to her.

I love the crown cuffs and neckdresses from Ezura since seeing them for the first time. Now there are fitting dresses, shoes and even a crown and a staff available. In my opinion those dresses are the perfect outfit for every vampire princess or gothic queen. They come with many options to wear them. For example there are three different kinds of skirts included in every set, and it is possible to wear a sheer version of the top or a non sheer one. Ezura loves to add the option to wear the clothes as lingerie and this is also possible this time. As the cuffs the dresses are available in white, black, red and purple.

It is even possible to buy fitting shoes to the dresses. Those also have the lace which has been used for the cuffs and dresses. The cuff around the ankle lets them look very cute. It is possible to change the colour of the sole and the heel with a hud.

Cute dresses for spring

It is slowly getting warmer again. So its time for new short dresses. Ibizarre made some of them and sells them this weekend in the lazy Sundy this weekend.
This is the version in rose of the dress. It also comes with fitting leggins but could worn without them as well.

The nature dress is kept in shades of brown. The scarf which also comes with the dress and the leggins fit well to the dress. So if it is still not warm enough it is possible to wear the dress with those trousers.

Here a picture of the dress in blue . Its a very springlike blue which reminds on the first flowers and walking through the forest when the trees start to get leaves again.

Last but not least the version in mint. I must have been very tired when taking the pictures as i used the same pose two times. The poses are a new release by just a pose by the way. They are made for stars on the red carpet and i used them for walking around in the green garden. As seeable on the picture i combined this time the dress with a jeans vest. This vest is included in all the versions of the dress. Its a nice idea to add a vest as it is not really warm yet and it is important to keep the back warm.


Dresses:
Ibizarre Neelie Dress - Rose (75$ this weekend)
Ibizarre Neelie Dress - Nature (75$ this weekend)
Ibizarre Neelie Dress - Ice (75$ this weekend)
Ibizarre Neelie Dress - Mint (75$ this weekend)
