SPOOKY part 2 : What Scares Men

In that dream, I am standing in front of the playground wall where we always played dodge ball, when I notice I am holding a couple of very colorful purses.

Then I feel that draft that clues me that I am standing there in my jock strap. If I stand real still maybe no one will see me.

The Starlust Panty Raid while great fun is usually a huntfest for girls underwear but there are a couple of things out for the guys. The rcbg jockstrap is prime. I found some colorful boy-style pants put out by Pig Shop too. Oh yeah and today is the LAST DAY to run around the Starlust looking for clams at the Panty Raid, so if you want it hustle over there.

Hail to the Chief!!

Headgear: rcbg “chief head-dress”

Purses: Duh! “Crocodile Bag” (Starlust Panty Raid)

SPOOKY part 1

I think a good horror movie has to start in real life, perhaps a little skewed. This nurse for instance. Something was just a bit wrong. The lipstick too red, the boots kinky. But I'm not supposed to judge, right? So I put it out of my mind.

Just another visit to the OBGYN. Just put your feet up in the stirrups and relax honey.

Or not.

EVERLASTING

This field of flowers goes on, year after year.

The flower fields go on, but individual flowers do not.


This week I got to thinking about all the people places and things that I miss. People come and go as their priorities change, lovely and inspiring designers suddenly pack up shop and disappear, whole worlds vanish overnight and I wish I had visited them more often. Right now Ashoka Eales is having a closing sale for a few more days, and Phoenix Rising will vanish. I went poking through my inventory and stumbled over Kunstkammer, Armidi, Pacadi Jasha, ... The Nameless Isle, Templum Obscurum, Cu Mara, Nagare Island, and on and on. But I am not exactly sad ... People are going their own way, but I miss their art. Let me enjoy it while I can.

Bodysuit: Vita’s Boudoir “Lace Bodice V2” (it’s transparent so I added an undershirt)
Skirt: Phoenix Rising “Flora” (everything L$100 at the Closing Sale)
Leggings: Tee*fy “Lacey Duotone Leggings” (Albero gacha festival)
Jewelry: Kunstkammer “Black Forest” (unavailable)
Shoes: Slink “Aveela Stiletto Herringbone” (with texture change HUD)(at the Dressing Room)

DINNER WITH THE DEAD

I was just taking the first bite, my eyes unfocused a bit in anticipation, when they walked in.

But there is always room for another guest at my table. Or perhaps on it.

When they showed me the flames, I turned to run, but I was distracted by the smell of supper. That moment's delay almost cost me my life ... such as it is.

I was slow to realize that they planned to herd me and lock me in here. Now they are standing at a distance, congratulating themselves. I can still smell the adrenaline and sweat through the hole in the glass.

So hungry. And even dead, I still hate fluorescent lights.

(Everything in this post was found on the Zombie Popcorn Hunt, except for one of the poses and the blood spatter in my dining room. The Hunt provided many other very nice prizes that I couldn't work into this post, including skins, clothing, lingerie, jewelry, poses, and furnishings. The Zombie-and-Goth themed items are magnificent. But there are plenty of goodies for those of you who find the undead uninteresting. Two thumbs up. ... The Brain Kebabs are sized about right to have come from housecats, but of course they are just an appetizer. The Table is spread with a ghoulish feast of brains, still-beating-heart, and Rats. Eww.)

Hors d’ Oeuvres: Concrete Flowers “Brain Kebab”
Collar: Shush “Chained Heart” (comes with matching shirt not shown)

A MATCH MADE IN HEAVEN

Well, in shoe heaven. After resisting for months, I finally gave in at Shoe Fair and bought these yummy shoes. I had to have them. They were the perfect soul mate for this jacket. I don't care if you have seen this jacket on my blog before. :) It's my favorite! I moaned a little when I tried on these heels, partly from pleasure, partly hoping it wouldn't be too difficult to adjust the color of the sculpted toes to match my skin. But what was I worried about? Even with this gray tint, easy peasy lemon squeezy.

And this skin ... This lovely skin is part of a multipack available now in the Platinum Hunt for a mere L$10. The other skins have a few combinations of different eye and lip color. The package also includes matching ears. If you love fantasy, this is a Must Have. An ee-vill dark elf never looked so adorable.

Finally, the Necklace (and matching earrings) are available at AI's Le.Look location. Putting it on I was amazed by the details; the strands are held together by two beads shaped like tiny hands.

Jacket: Aoharu “BT Short Riders Jacket”
Shoes: Gos “Dare Bootie” (With HUD to tint skin and retexture shoe parts and nails)
Necklace: Alchemy Immortalis “Amaranthus Diminue Victoriana Clutch Pendant”
Bodysuit: mijn.t “Pepe is my Cat”
Jeans: fri.day “Low.Rise Jeans (includes three sets of leg attachments)
Hair: Tiny Bird “Girl Anachronism”
Skin: Mynerva “Platinum Red Lips” (part of Platinum Hunt Gift)

THIS BIKE IS SICK

I was called to Sick to recover ten stolen flash drives full of tech data for the S.I.C. Science Innovation Company. I equipped myself for a long night out prowling back alleys looking for them.

Yeah, a very long night.

They were so relieved to have their secrets back, they gave me a cycle prototype. Ditched the armor and went for a ride.

(At the entrance, pick up Instructions and a Hunt HUD to wear before you go out looking. Find and touch the ten "flash drives" to fill up your HUD, then find the computer box in the S.I.C. corporation building lobby, and follow directions to receive your reward. The Sick Sim hunts are always great ... but HARD. I found seven of ten pretty easy, but the last three were tricky. This time all ten boxes were located on the main Sick Sim, so you won't need to cross over to Sick2.)

Armor: ImmateriA “royBATTY Shield” (from the Bacchanal)
Shirt: WoE “Kyle Light Grey Tank”
Pants: Zaara “Jeans *charcoal* (classic)”
Boots: CheerNo “Yaji Snake Black” (from the Dressing Room)
Weapon: Tigerclaw “armed force TC711-Assault Rifle” (gift)
Bike: Sick “MZ0252 Motorcycle” (Sick Anniversary Hunt Prize)
Skin: Atomic Bambi “Benicio Beta” (gift)
Eyes: Edge Grafica “30-diseased eyes-high blue”
Poses: Long Awkward Pose
