Fantasy Land

                               

This is kinda last minute so let me get to it. The newest round at Stuff in Stock is fantasy themed and there are many dreamy items there for you to enjoy. This wonderful Samantha skin by WOW, shown here with Desdemona lipstick by Pekka. The lipstick perfectly accenting this awesome Siren's Lust corset by Sugar, that comes to just under the bust. This fun Disney Mouse necklace by I <3 Fashion with color change stone and tassel are a nice contrast and finishing touch to this look.

Also from  Stuff in Stock these adorable Rainbow Pony jeans by Evenflow, they have happy little unicorns on the back pockets and some other really nice details. Closing out this fantasy inspired look is this Fairy Light by Tentacio. This cute little jar with fire flies inside have a little friend to ride alone and a pretty flower as well. Also should mention too that the poses used in this post are from the I believe in unicorns set by  G o l a and you can pick these up as well at Stuff in Stock.  Sorry I am so late with this post but in any case, new round starts Monday, so you have just a couple more days to grab up these awesome goodies and more. So what are you waiting for?

Sweet Kitties

I have an addiction to lucky boards/chairs or whatever form they come in. The latest offer for my stalking was LoveCats Designs. It's always fun to collect up a large pile stuff and then put something together from that. Taking into account the 16 possible prizes from the boards, the MMs, group gifts and camping, I got away with about 20 complete outfits plus some other bits and pieces. Yes, I spent many hours there, but what better way to multitask if you're stuck at the computer in FL?
Below is ONE look that little adventure resulted in, just to keep this short and sweet. Go and have a look. Group membership is needed, but that is free. If this is your second nature, the group is well worth hanging around in because of the daily specials chosen from the regular stock.

Ears and Tail: from Demon Kitty Outfit Mens - Lucky Board Piercings (see pic below): Piercing set - Group Gift Jacket: from Snakebite Outfit Mens - MM board (now regular stock) Tattoo: Pawprint Tattoo - Group Gift Belt: Avid Girls - Lucky Board Bracers: from Dark Kat Outfit - Lucky Board Stocking: from Dark Kat Outfit - Lucky Board Pants: from Dark Kat Outfit - Lucky Board Paw Boots: from Dark Kat Outfit - Lucky Board
Below is a closer shot so you can see the piercings and get an idea of the texture of the jacket. I did blog the belonging chaps in an earlier post here. LoveCats at her best has a real flair for textures, some of it makes me drool for sure.

The sombre sim is Virtual Decay, home to Virtual Decay... fancy that...

That's all from me for this time... take care and have fun!!!

The Crystal Hunt Part 2

Hello... I'm back! I just HAVE to finish my postings about The Crystal Hunt that marks the opening of the Petites Kingdom!
The hunt is on to the 20th this month and the prizes are amazing... if you're into petites, of course. If you're not, this really is the time to have a go because you can collect some very impressive stuff for absolute free here.
Beside the central floating castle, there are four themed islands on the sim. All has their own story and offers everything you could dream a petite could need and then some. 31 stores, including names like G Field, Wasabi Pills, Al Vulo  and Rfyre, are participating. All necessary info as well as the list of the participating stores can be picked up at the landing point at the central flying castle. 
It's not a difficult hunt, but I recommend to regard it as a pleasant day out. Some basic knowledge of the sim is needed because the coveted crystals are not necessarily hidden on the same island as the store. The clues that each participating store gives are good, however. A little relaxed exploration while 'hoarding' clues will set you right. In fact, I found this a very pleasurable and colourful change from most other  hunts. A real treasure hunt.

This event has put a huge grin on my face for a few days now. These little guys makes me laugh and puts me in a general good mood. Especially this little merman tail... what else would it be called but a 'minnow'? XD
Anyway, a few more of the impressive prizes... What a merman...ehm.. petite minnow.... would do in the air? *Points at wings* Ever heard of flying fish?
Petite Minnow Tail: Clownfish Merman Yellow, Pacific Sunrise. Includes tails for both genders plus a simple unisex AO. Wings: Insect Wings, KaiAna. Comes with retexture HUD. Wings and veins can be coloured and retextured independently as well as animated. 

Hair: Noriko, Wasabi Pills Dress, including hair corsage and wings: Stella-B, G Field
I hope you notice I'm a bit out of words for this one... She's both topsy and turvy ^^

Alcove with hanging chairs: Garden of Light, Mole End Slippers: Arabian Slippers, Trident Jewelry. Includes pairs for both genders as well as full size avs.
Well... regrettably that's the end of this hunt for me. Where else to enjoy that but in the cool shade with some delightful company. I've found this hunt pretty amazing... and I've only shown you half the gifts! A huge warm thank you to all the involved creators.
I take my farewells for now in a pretty sweet mood. Have fun hunting!

Crystal Hunt Part 1

Hiya again :)
The petites are getting their own sim and it's built with a lot of imagination by some of the best builders in SL! To celebrate the opening, which is sort of right now this instant (until 9pm, 29th September SLT), there's a sim crashing party... and there's The Crystal Hunt. And... oh boy... are the prizes (0L) fantastic or are they fantastic?
This does focus on the Petite brand, but with a lot of the stuff (everything but mesh clothing I suppose) would suit any little fellas. Place is, of course, Petites Kingdom and the hunt goes between 29th September to 20th October. All you need to know is easily available at the landing point. 
That's the language of the big fellas. For us little 'uns.... Our kingdom has finally been created, and a marvellous magical place it is as well, where we can be ourselves and share and have fun according to our natures. However... help is needed to gather the last crystals needed to fuel and fire up the gates that opens up the last islands of this our community. Everyone is welcome, big or small, to hunt for them and be richly rewarded for this valuable assistance. 
I leave you to write the story below, mine too stupid... but I'll list the credits for some of the very generous prizes ^^

Body ornaments: Fleurs, Fallen Gods Inc Bow, quiver: Aurora - Elysium, Falcon Weapons Forge. Scripted Spellfire weapon with attached wings (the 'beady' ones in my double set used here) Stead: Pink Brass Horse, Bare Rose. Ridable, pose slightly modded on the spot with Animare.

Left: Outfit, wings included: Rinceaux, Forest Feast. The silver and yellow wings are really alternatives, but I like the look of them together ^^
Middle (kind of Halloween themed): Dress: Carefree Dress, Blaze Choker: Petite Belt Choker, Yabusaka. There's a male version as well. Wings: Raven, Vengeful Threads Pumkin: Pumkin Huggie, A.D.D. Andel
Right: Outfit: Kimonodress, N*Botan. Includes a long version as well.
Other props: Stove, Gourds: PARTS of the Rinky Dink Woodland Stove Set, Roawenwood

Only one thing that hasn't been shown above: Birdbath Shower, Geniwian
OK, so I don't know what stories you created, but me think that whatever they are... can you blame me? I think you agree with me, however, that this hunt is not one to miss if you're into petites... and a good reason to get one if you aren't yet.
So, to sum things up: The Crystal Hunt, 29/9 - 20/10, Petites Kingdom... you simply can't miss!
We'll probably meet there. Take care and have fun!

Sinister!

Hello you lovely Fashionistas! It's Pyrrhic, here to bring you another quicky blog to showcase a glamorously sinister new look for the haunting season! I hope you enjoy! Muaaah!!

I love the dainty beauty mark on her fair & milky skin, the shaved head and long luxurious hair in a vibrant ghoulish green, the blood red vampire-esque eyes that just lure you in, and the sweet yet bewitching little cats dangling from her ears! It just screams, "Halloween Queen!"

This dress is so hauntingly ethereal! I love the corseted top and long & slender sweeping skirt topped with layers of feminine ruffles. The spiderwebs give it a festive feeling, that's simply perfect for the Halloween season (or ALL season depending how Goth you are hehehe...) and the skeleton hands grip your waist in just the right spot, bringing a light whimsy to an otherwise darkly beautiful gown.

FEATURING: 
Hair: Tameless - Tiana
Skin: Step Inside Skins - Zoe (group gift)
Eyes: Ikon - Utopia Red
Dress: ArisAris - Lady Sinister
Earrings: N@n@ Bag Catz (gift)

Ronja A-Z: G is for Golden Snake

It's been many weeks since the last part of my classic Ronja series thanks to a longer FL trip. This is really a project that's become a labour of love and I intend to see it through to the end. This famous person Everyone knows about Ronja Pera of RDesignS. Ronja has her place in the SL hall of fame for all those fantastic outfits that now lingers in the freebie palaces. More of an introduction and the first instalment is here => X.

With the letter G, we're approaching half way, believe it or not. It'a quick and easy one as well, only one outfit without the usual multitude of alternatives.... So, without any further delay.... Ladies and gentlemen, G stands for Golden Snake.
The name, Golden Snake, refers to the repeated metal ornament texture Ronja used for the composition. It's a common method of hers and I find it real nifty. It's the design element, I think, that gives her design 'that look'. The boots, of course, have bling *nod nods*
If you want a copy, this outfit is available for free on the fourth floor in Freebie Galaxy.
A couple of other things:
Make up: Dark Kiss LipSmacker over Raven's Golden Dawn Ore Mizu Makeover, Mock Cosmetics. Not a very good view, but you must agree the names are great ^^ Both most likely two of her generous group gifts.
Pose: One of my own, presently for sale at The Retreat. Shameless self promotion maybe, but it does help towards my plentiful uploads. Thank you all!
Well, that's it... until next time, take care and have fun!

Vampy

I'm somewhat of a vampire fanatic in RL. I don't really carry that into SL with me, but I do so love the vampy fashions in-world. That's why I was so pleased to see this gorgeous mesh dress from Mind Games Fashion, in the Casket Sharp Hunt! The asymmetrical layered ruffles just scream casket-couture and the textural detailing of the fabric is simply gorgeous! It also comes with sexy fishnets stockings for the naughty night-goddess in you... and a sassy top hat (not shown).

I've blogged parts of this collection before, but it bears repeating... The Transitions Thigh High mesh boots, from Dirty Little Secret, pair perfectly with this dress, allowing just enough of the stockings to peek through. They have a rich suede "feel" to them and come in several sizes to fit a variety of avatar sizes. And since they're mesh they move with you beautifully! No more clunky shoe parts, hooray! Oh, and the Transition Eyes in Stone Rose shimmer like the twilight sky.... hehe.  Seriously though, check out how they sparkle! If only eyes were this lovely in RL... Sigh.

The Lilou skin is compliments of APS. I love, love, love this skin! Not only is it soft, dewy, and exquisitely detailed, it has almost a zillion different options for the eyebrows for a uniquely customizable look. From the plush & pouty lips, to the boldly arched brows, this skin is a definite keeper and ties into my vampy look without looking washed out or pallid. I thought the Cate hair from Sugarsmack was the perfect compliment to "top" this look. It's wispy and uber- feminie. Also, the bow is texture changing to fit a variety of different styles. Well, the moon is out... and so am I! Happy vamping!

Savage & Free

I wandered upon the neatest RP sim the other day. At Jasper Cove you can be anything, do anything, create your own story... all with very little rules. The sim is absolutely breaktaking too! I love to dress up my dear Pyrrhic, and this was a fantabulous opportunity to try a savage new look. However, I didn't want to spend an arm and a leg so I searched in world and on the SL Marketplace for some great freebies and fantastic deals... and I scored!

Since I was feeling a bit lazy, I started my shopping journey in the SLMP. This entire look cost 8L. And that was just for the Glamorize: Delirious makeup mask, which, by the way, comes with 8 colors! Back in world I found her gorgous, dewy skin, in the Phoebe cocoa tone. It's the latest gift from Mojo. (It has a lovely lavender makeup... not shown hehe). They have some of the absolute best skins in SL and when you join the group you get a new free skin each season.

Pyrrhics sexy pantheresque outfit was a freebie I scored back at the SLMP. Claw Thief by Viking is incredibly sexy! And every detail, from the leather & fur to the beautiful collar, screams "I am woman, hear me Raaawr!" Since it's fast approaching autumn, I figure she needed a cloak to keep warm with. Ya know, just in case. The Old Forge creates some amazingly beautiful and realistic fanatasy clothing. So I couldn't believe it when I saw the Traveling Cloak for free! They also have a male version of the cloak for free).

With her outfit almost complete, I ventured back in world for the rest of my shopping. Her bad-ass suede boots are a group gift from Coco. They have an entire wall lined with past and present group gifts. These particular boots come in a mesh and prim option. Her firey red hair, Karena shown in Nectar, is also group gift. Exile has an entire wall of gift hair for women and even a few for the men-folk. I love the wild, wind-swept look of this style! Even her talon-like, blood red nails, in the "Stiletto" style, were an awesome lucky chair win from Formanails.

With her look complete, she is now ready to embark on her journey in Jasper Cove. At least I know that wherever her journey takes her, she's gonna look really darn good!

Eyes: Ikon - Free to join group and there are always free gifts! Eyes featured are a past group gift.
Poses: Ciss Poses and Del May (past group & hunt gifts)

Seeing Red

Red. It's my favorite color. And why wouldn't it be? It's both powerful & feminine. It evokes feelings of passion. It's regal. It's the color of love & lust. It's just so damn... glamorous! And it seems that every fabulous designer in SL came out with a bunch of gorgeous red treats for us, all at once! Check it out...

The skin & shape: she kinda looks like Kate Hudson to me.

Except that even Ms. Hudson doesn't look this good in RL!
