I'm baaaaaaaack................

Computer problems 75% solved. After some mix up I was *finally* mailed the correct fan for my laptop and installed it and everything is working. And now with a semi-updated photoshop I can blog.....

So you guys probably know all about these things, but since I haven't been around I really haven't heard much about it. There's a grid wide Gorean hunt (not kid friendly) taking place until the end of this month (read more about it at the sponsor's website here). You'll be searching for a Talendar Flower at each store. Some signs still display the end date as being January 19th, but with the extension the end is January 31. Which if you've been putting this hunt off is a good thing! The first couple of places were relatively easy to find and from there the flowers just are a bit hard to find & with no 'I give up' landmark to the next place if you get stumped you're forced to give up on the entire hunt or contact the coordinator for assistance.

I'd really recommend doing this hunt with several people so you can help each other (unless you're an experienced hunter). This is probably your best plan of attack since the flowers which you are hunting for move. ;) You'll find that not all of the objects are limited to the Gorean 'lifestyle' and you're sure to find a couple new merchants that you'll want to keep track of. The hunt prizes include: silks & camisks, free women's attire, jewelry/accessories, an animation, haremn tent, (lots of really nice) furniture & house accessories, cloak, male clothing, & a gift certificate.

I'm showing all the clothing items with the new release hairs from House of Heart and Bewitched Hair Designs - a preview color of each new hair style is completely free at both of these stores each time hair is released. The hair shown in the preview are styles from House of Heart's January 6th releases and from Bewitched's January 12th releases. All skins are from On The Catwalk Studio & Skins' lucky chair (Thank you Benedetta & Fay for the tps ^.^) which changes letters every 5 minutes. Eyes used are from ::EbiShop::!

I made modesty shorts to wear with many of the outfits. You can do this by opening your inventory > from the CREATE menu > select NEW CLOTHES > you'll want to create NEW PANTS or UNDERPANTS. The new pants will appear in your clothing folder. Wear the pants and then right click your avatar and select appearance and then edit your pants or underpants tinting to a shade that is close to your skintone.

Bodyline has a $1 ' Russian shape ' available for a short time. So If you're digging the shape run there and pick it up. It is shown with a light toned skin in the store, but I found that it worked fine with a variety of skin tones.

The items on sale in the pictures are the shoes which are $25 and after Sunday will be $100 and the two turtlenecks are each $10 and after Sunday $100. The not so valentine tshirt is $1 and there are two versions in the box - one male, one female. So guys pick this up too!

To celebrate the Korean New Year Navina of Cutie Honey has put out a cow themed dress in one of her lucky chairs. The dress is so cute, it includes an animated drink cup and the purse and hat have animated eyes that blink. I hope you guys can win it faster than I did, but don't fret there's also the cute pigtails I wore in all pictures available for free.

The shoes shown with the Cutie Honey Dress are free from the Midnight Madness board at Dilly Dolls. Just stop by and touch the board located in the basement. If 200 people touch a mm board before midnight then everyone who touches the board receives a gift box. I'm not sure if the prize items change, but this is a fantastic store and you should go and touch the board. And, they will soon have a Valentine Hunt and I've heard the dress is beautiful. ($0 - Midnight Madness board - F - http://slurl.com/secondlife/Ashuertus/111/234/546)

Jacqueline was kind enough to point out to the Dilly Dolls group that there is a forum where people are trying to collaboratively post a list of all the Midnight Madness boards. Check it out here.

Before I end, If you're lucky you can also win this pile of money to roll around in at Cutie Honey. It has 5 animations in it. ^.^



I used the [TOR] Deep blue sky 2 preset, but it was a little blue so I turned down the blue on the Lighting tab via Ambient menu. All pictures were takenn on the Pax -- Where The Wild Things Are -- Sim. http://slurl.com/secondlife/Pax/170/41/23

Hamming it up in TV Station Sim

If you guys haven't checked out some of the Japanese sims you really should. You will find that the designers are often less ($$$) than English speaking sims and very nice quality. They also know how to enjoy a GAME and often have wonderful freebies out or just things that are good for the lollers!

Earlier today I was exploring a store named Non-Standard on one of the Japanese sims. I really like this store, because not only do they have awesome freebies, but most things are $20 or less (with the exception of skins which are very reasonable at $600). So here is a picture of all the freebies:


Click for bigger image. ;)

Skins, outfits, toys; located both upstairs and downstairs. There are also some great Chirstmas goodies here for $5-10.

As I walked out of non-standard I'd noticed a sign for a TVStation Sim. Well, I've never seen an sl tv station and decided to check it out:



Find the elevator and take it to the exhibition level. You'll notice the space suit is on sale for $5 and there is a complete free female avatar (skin, hair, shape, suit, bag)

After I visited the exhibition I took a stroll through the adjacent sim Machinima and checked out all the different sets available. If you haven't taken a profile picture maybe one of these backdrops will appeal to you. =) Enjoy the pictures and have fun getting acquainted with your SL.








ETA: Check out the sculpted prims exhibition (on Machinima Sim); you may find more freebies.Source URL: https://hayleyatwellstuff.blogspot.com/search/label/scenic
