Overpacking

As I'm in hunt advice mode I thought I'd share another of my hints - be prepared. Some people think that means hiring some Boy Scouts to help you, but I prefer to throw myself into it. Carrying your hunt gifts can be a big problem, but luckily I was able to pick up a brand new handbag from MODLA in this hunt which is great for packing everything I find into it.

Unfortunately I maybe got a bit carried away and overpacked a little this morning. After stuffing numerous pants and shirts in I realised I didn't have much left to wear. Thankfully Vitamen came to the rescue with their hunt gift of this snazzy pearl thong. Granted, not the warmest outfit I've gone hunting in, but it's just incentive to keep myself moving to the next store and grab the next gift!

Hunt item I found from the Baby it's cold outside hunt...   just wandering around sl tonight.

Pipe Dreams

People often ask me, "Flash, aside from murdering cake thiefs, just how do you unwind after a day intensively hunting?" It's simple really, you just need to set aside a bit of time at the end of the day to enjoy your finds. Take me for example...

Yep, there's nothing like growing a beard and kicking back with your new pipe emblazoned with a crazy person. No sireee! So next time you've been out hunting, grab your Napoleonic memorabila and kick back. Trust me, even though I'm not a doctor. But I am calling it a day, so I'll be dreaming about what we'll all find next.

Defender Of The Cake

Apparently I was a tad foolish letting on that I was out hunting earlier this morning, because whilst I prowled around I discovered someone was after my cake!

Obviously, being a manly man hunt I didn't drop everything - granted the heavy, blunt object that returned with me will never be found by the cops, and I can't go into too much details, but suffice to say the culprit won't be bothering me any more. Except for perhaps if I can't get that bloodstain out.

Anyway, I figured as I was near cake I'd take a quick breather and grab the first items i had that weren't in boxes (because I'm lazy and unpacking is hard work). And bizarrely I didn't end up a total trainwreck which is a good sign for the quality of gifts I'm grabbing.

• Connors - Denim Vest

Sneaky vs Swafette!

Yes I'm still lurking and despite having a pile of photos I should blog I decided to post this brand new one instead. As any fashion conscious chap on the grid knows today saw the start of the MENstuff hunt. Well, yesterday did but they started it when I was fast asleep so today saw the start of it for me.

In group chat the delightful Swafette Firefly of SF Designs said the hunt couldn't be too hard as people had visited her at store 95 already! When I pointed out that some folks jumped about to favourite shops I was called sneaky! My indigination knew no bounds and as I sat by my computer in the brand new Virginian outfit I had just grabbed from her store I crossed my arms and sulked. I sulked so hard my 'net connection crashed and I gave up visiting more of my favourites until my ISP can keep me online for more than 3 minutes at a time.

But if you wonder where the man in your life is over the next few days (or month) - check the MENstuff hunt. Or better yet, check SF Designs. And as a side note they have new Indiana pants at a very reasonable 130L (Claire has some photos of me in them pending) - I ignored their style card and got some boots from Kalnin that went well with them, and I have to say they go well with the Virginian outfit too.

A few things...

Rez day gift from Sugar Mama's.  Pay the panda the amount you desire and receive your free gift.  Gift includes skin, and dress.

Multiple tattoo layers & Gogo's blog

I'd like to talk multiple tattoo layers and great blogs. They sort of merge tonight, in my snapshot here below, which I've taken in Viewer 2. I popped a valium afterwards, I think I'm fine now, thanks.

1- Multi tattoo layers & viewers

I LOVE multiple tattoo layers, 1 for lashes, 1 for gloss, 1 for eyeshadow etc BUT you can only use that feature if you're on Viewer 2 or Kirstens (I'm on Emergence, derived from Emerald so I can't do that). Both V2 and Kirstens I hate, they're not user friendly in the slightest and lack all the essential gimmicks I got used to in Emerald (radar etc).

So I looked into it, the Imprudence viewer is expecting to release their V2 equivalent very soon, it will be called the Kokua viewer. The main developper Jacek Antonelli was offline, so I couldn't check the exact date.

I then spoke with Ed Merryman, head of support at the Phoenix viewer (derived from Emerald too) and he said that the experimental version of their V2 equivalent, the Firestorm viewer, was coming out very soon, maybe on Monday or during next week! (I popped another valium to calm down)
I have so many friends waiting to have a decent viewer with multi tattoo layers, (Teena, are you excited?) when I tell them the news, they'll be popping pills too.

2- Gogo's blog

I LOVE Gogo's blog, Juicybomb (Juicy Littlething inworld), I read it to relax, it's always interesting, entertaining and sometimes scandalously honest, which I value. She's a great photographer, and always honest when reviewing products. So when I saw her Rainbow eyeshadow review earlier, I wanted to recreate my own and credit her. Thanks Gogo, you're my favourite blogger, I love reading about your adventures.

My fave posts are:
- The Stiletto Moody
- The Vagina review
- The ban from Exodi



I'm wearing my lovely Nellie Laq skin, with Iris Ophelia eyelashes, Iris Ophelia lipgloss, Kuro Usagi's kiss tattoo (old Japanese gift) and Chelle's Rainbow eyeshadow, FREE group gift! Eyes are from Ibanez, FREE group gift (I don't wear any others, thanks Elfie for the tip) and hair from Ohmai.

Fabulous gift from aDORKable Poses

I had to blog this straight away so I grabbed Mandy, in the shop, TP'ed Catherine who was all dolled up (I'm sure she was on her way to a date :) and ta-da! Go grab this bench, it's fantastic and it's FREE. Thank you Catherine, Mandy and Adorkable!

More delightful clothing from The Sea Hole

I'm still in clothes heaven with The Sea Hole (more here). Wanted to show you the Hunted Capelette and skirt in 3 different colours (you can buy them separately, L$135 each). All of them beautiful to the last stitch. DrinkyDrinky (my nickname for Drinkinstein Sorbet, the designer) will you marry me? :)

I am art.

You don't have to like it.. yes, indeed it is different.. aren't we all ?

The Planisphere skin was painted with acrylics by hand, using a piece of copy paper against a computer screen over the Chip Midnight skin template.  It comes packaged with 15 lipsticks (the Sheila series) and is 200L.  This skin is a fun alternative for someone who wants something different.  A style card is included.

Aemeth Lysette's skins are different and part of her goal is to get some conversation going about what your favorite skin is and why.

Beautiful clothing from The Sea Hole

I'm in love again. And no, it's not with Ygor *chuckles* or Simon Baker. I'm in love with The Sea Hole clothing. It's simply beautiful, sparkly and yet elegant. Designer Drinkinstein Sorbet (I call her DrinkyDrinky) is a truly talented designer. I found out about her before Christmas at the Rumor sim contest and forgot how much I loved her designs. They are exactly what I was after to pimp up my Kani avatar (new look I'm exploring, previously blogged here). Check it out, I'll be wearing lots of her clothing, you can be sure of that. Thanks DrinkyDrinky!

First piccy:
Kani av in Taupe @ Curious Inc
Kani eyes with Lashes in Pink Midnight @ Sopherian Yumako (L$100)
Hair @ Trico (Free group gift of the month)
Sequin sweatshirt in blush @ The Sea Hole (L$115)
Highwaisted Engineer Shorts in carnation @ The Sea Hole (L$115)


Second piccy:

Suki Hair @ Rubisoho (Free on Lucky Boards)
Sequin sweatshirt in Icy @ The Sea Hole (L$115)
Highwaisted Engineer Shorts in denim @ The Sea Hole (L$115)

Gone all Kani Bunny!

I can not tell you how excited I am about this post. I could not find any inspiration on what to blog next... until I bumped into my good friend Randomized at the Curious sandbox, sporting a 'furry' avatar. I've seen them before on other friends but I ask you, what is a furry? Wiki says: 'In Second Life, "furry" avatars are those which use prim attachments to reflect upon a certain animal or mythical creature while keeping the basic humanoid framework'.

And before I know it, check this out, I turned into a Kani bunny, courtesy of Uchi Desmoulins, designer of Curious Inc furry avatars (Kani means bunny in Finnish, thanks Uchi for clarifying that). I love them. You just have to spend a little time to find the right hair and the right outfit and you'll be feeling very 'cute' before you know it. There seems to be different politics on how to wear the ears, up or down but hey, not a problem with the fully animated hud!

Oh and the beautiful eyes and lashes are courtesy of Sopherian Yumako who makes amazing eyes for Uchi's avies. Thanks Uchi and Sopherian. I'm a very happy bunny. Especially when I get a bunny cuddle from Randomized *chuckles*

(Elate!) Tree Skyboxes

My first post this year is dedicated to my home - my beloved (Elate!) Tree Skybox. I absolutely adore the feeling of being both inside and outside at the same time. I love good skyboxes and used to have quite a good collection of them but I haven't found better than this one. When I accidentally de-rezzed it before Christmas, designer Kellie Iwish not only gave me another copy of it (the daylight one) but also the midnight version of it. Go see them inworld and try the animated bed and swing. You'll love them, I know it.
Thanks, Kellie (nogmaals bedankt).

At NirSar you can only grab this DOLLARBIE called Browny me outfit, or you can match the skirt with the FREE SOM gift from MDL as in the second photo (it's a camisole but I used it without the long parts, to make it look like a shirt with a jacket on)

And last but no least here's a FREE floral dress from HNFactory Petit, other freebies at the store as well.



Oh! I almost forgot to mentiont that the hair of the photos is from !Lamb and it only cost 30L!!! (For a 4color pack, 150L for the whole fatpack), there's also another hairstyle for that price).

That's all by now, hugs!!
