Today Has Been OK

Lovely new mesh top in the Midnight Mania in the Mesh Room at Baby Monkey (go upstairs).  It's already half way there today so get on over!  10 L boots right by the steps.  Some delicious jewelry at Sigma Jewels: Fist Pump Hunt and the Gacha Hunt (fun!).   We don't often discuss poses but I am using poses from one of the group gifts for Exposeur Gold.  There is a pretty steep fee to join (500 L) but right now there are 4 group gifts at Pose Fair and more at the store.  Pose packs now include both poses for men and women, which I think is ossum.

Lingerie Tuesday

So, I was in Nomine yesterday and they have this super-smexy lingerie set currently in the MM, which I just had to show you. I was also really lucky and found my 100% match on the fortune teller there and won these amazing 'Tortured tights', which I am wearing with the MM undiesssss.



Worn:

Undies: Nomine ~ Sasha (FREE - current MM prize!),
Tights: Nomine ~ Tortured tights (Lucky Fortune Teller prize, FREE if you can find your 100% match to grab these!!),
Hair: Loq ~ Vodka (L$70 currently @ The Dressing Room Blue for 4 colours),
Necklace: Glow ~ Bulletproof (Currently offered @ The Dressing Room for L$70 or less),
Shoes: Nardcotix ~ Gloria Wedges (Currently offered @ The Dressing Room for L$70 or less).

Creatures were Stirring

Almost everything is marked down by 50% at Evie's Closet right now.  Some of the most gorgeous, delicately textured fantasy clothes you will ever find and so many at half price.  The outfit I'm wearing above happens to be FREE.  It is the Midnight Mania there which when I looked just a little bit ago still had lots of slaps left...probably because you have to find it!  Look for the Vintage section and you will find it.  It is a special version of Amerie's Bower, which I fell in love with at Fashion for Life earlier this year.  I picked up the crown and collar set for some ridiculously low price.  There are some exclusions to the sale: the newest release, bridal, kids, vintage (which is already inexpensive).   Before I forget, there is also a sale at Red Mint and includes even her newest skin, No. 07, which I am wearing above.  I love it's fierce realism.  I'm a sucker for my sweet faced Eden but sometimes I just need to be something else and this skin gives me that without having to slap you in the face with it.

If you ever see me out and about in SL I'm usually in some mishmash from blogging and sorting and often shoeless, sad to say but true.  But I could not, would not resist the Lumina Nymph outfit from Evie's.  I am ready to forsake all my clothing and spend the rest of my SLife in it even though I have nowhere to wear it.  The textures are divine, the dainty placement of beads that resemble droplets from the sea, the flow as it moves and no fish feet!  I am sure there are some of you out there who understand completely that love of something so beautiful it MUST be in your collection.  I suggest you all go down to Evie's and get one before the sale ends.

Spring is on its way!!

Yea I truelly think it is judging by the cute spring-y stuffs that are popping up all over the grid. First up is yet another group gift from Happy Finds. I simply love the colours in this dress, and the way it moves. If you like what you see, better join the group quick before she makes it pay-to-join.



And here is another beautiful dress which I adore. This is a group gift from salt.



This dress is just so perfect for walks in the countryside, and when it gets colder in the evening you could team it with this very cute leather jacket from poison (free on the midnight mania).



The skin I'm wearing is the beautiful freebie from Cupcakes, sanguine in the copper tone, blogged already by Sileny, here. Heres a close up:

Care to Take a Dip?

I love the Lucky Dips that come out for special occasions!  Skyler John from Mystic Sky has pulled hers out of the attic for a special Lucky Cupcake for Valentines Day.  There are some wonderful goodies in it and the odds of winning are very high as there are only 3 booby prizes in the cupcake.  You can dip every three minutes and you could win the gorgeous Annabell Gown, a matching Hibiscus Hair Flower or a Hibiscus Necklace.  This gown has features upon features: two cloaks (pink and green) that open and close, 2 skirt versions and 2 Aster Hair Flowers (Pink and Yellow).  If you don't want to hang around and dip for the gown you can pick it up at 50 % off as all White, Pink and Red items are marked down until Tuesday, 2/15.  

While I'm all excited I just wanted to tell you about a new makeup store for me, M.O.C.K.  The creator is Mocksoup Graves and the eye makeup I am wearing is from her Midnight Mania.  She changes out the items frequently in the MM and there are also 2 Lucky Boards.  Anyway, I like her stuff, so go there :)

A closeup of the Hibiscus accessories and Mock's Eyeshadow.  It's purty!

Booty Call!

We have a huge variety of people in the group, Lucky Chair Stalkers, so I see lots of Lucky Chairs and Midnight Manias.  Julya Lykin, one of our lovers of the sexy look, hollered about the Midnight Manias at Crave.  Crave is the place that goes absolutely nuts at the holidays with their lucky chair full of sex candy holiday outfits.  I had not been there for ages so I had to go peek and I was like "OOO" at the latex.  Not what I would wear to shop FLF or a DU event but there are certain times when latex has it's special uses.

I just need to yack for a quick minute before I get to photos (which you are probably looking at anyways).  I hope to blog this (when I can actually find time to hunt) but there is a sweet little hunt called The Starry Night Hunt at the Lucid sim.  It is only for one week and started on Friday so you might want to go there before you forget.  Lots of the free Grand Opening gifts are also still available.  Several independent creators have made special items for the hunt that are either 0 or 1 Linden.  This sexy shape below is one of the hunt items and is at (census) for only 1 L.

Let's get to the clothes and stuff.  Nice latex? I think so!

London Calling

Cupcakes is beginning to open its remodeled stores and have also introduced a new skin line.  London comes with 2.0 layer eyebrows in a variety of styles and cleavage options.  To celebrate they have put up a Midnight Mania with one of the London skins in a sienna tone.  This skin would be 1000 L to buy right now but for about a week you can get this one for free.  I know that it has already locked for today but it will reopen tomorrow and I'm pretty sure it requires 350 slaps to lock.  That will fill up fast so get there early if you can.  Because we are foremost a respectable blog I did not show a full body shot here but there is one in my flickr if you care to check out more of the skin.  The details are great.  Thanks Rosemary and Mimi!  You did it again!

Eden Loves Eve

I found out about this cute store, Kat, thru the group Lucky Chair Stalkers and I instantly knew I must have the dress, Eve.  This dress can be yours with only 160 slaps and when I looked last there were still a few spots left today.  It is lusciously sexy and easy to accessorize.  I went full-steam ahead on the accessories, disregarding the "one great accessory" rule I usually follow.   The dress pairs perfectly with the Lola Boots in exotic textures that you can win in the lucky chair at Baby Monkey in the main room (the 10 L sale on discontinued Ultimates is still going on in the other lucky chair room for some real bargains).  While you are at Baby Monkey, make sure you pick up the four sets of free prim nails.  They are scripted for color change and the gloves are tint-able to match your skin.  Thanks to Jelly Supply, also from Lucky Chair Stalkers, for turning me onto these great sunglasses from arrya that you can pick up for free as an  Eels opening gift.  Right next to it are also a free stump chair and some great bangles for both men and women.

WhoNose Does It Again

I am a huge fan of Rarurick Ragu of WhoNose.  Her prim work is perfection and she always adds an element of cleverness to her designs.  Today she released a new cheapie and it was just what I needed.  Where I live I don't think I've seen the sun in weeks and this gold dress brings some cheer to the dreary days.

Dress: WhoNose: Vivi Gold Dress: 5 L (includes necklace)
Shoes: Baby Monkey: Gina: not free but discounted for group members

There is also a fantastic retroish dress in the Midnight Mania that you can get for only 100 slaps.  I adore the hat, which is included.

Hair: fri.day: Carrie: not free

Ooo,  hot off the press!  Those not free shoes above from Baby Monkey are available in an exclusive Silver color in the Midnight Mania for only 100 slaps.  If it's filled make sure you go back tomorrow.  They come with preset skin tones but they are a snatch to customize.  They also include the latest version of toenails.

Here's to sunny days!

I've Seen Trubble and It's Good

I had the extreme pleasure of meeting Tracy Rubble, owner of Trubble.  She has several wonderful outfits that are gorgeous and that you can get for free or 1 L.  There is also a Lucky Chair upstairs with several outfits but I have enough pictures here to give you a good taste of the Trubble you can get in.

Trubble: Subscriber Gift: 0 L

Trubble: Dollarbie gown.  The bow is delish!

Trubble: Midnight Mania.  Only 25 slaps so if its full make sure you come back the next day.  It's so worth it!

Trubble: Profile Picks Gift: notice the lovely shading differences on the bodice as well as the subtle green texture that makes it extra special.
