AN OLD BROOM

Old Broom Full

Playing dress-up and trying on Halloween outfits this morning when I would rather be spending all my money at the Arcade. I can't get in!! ARGGGGH … I chuckled a little when I saw the new brooms Birdy has out at the Arcade cause they are similar to this one I already have. I like the new colors and accessories. But, the new broom hovers higher in the air, which made using my photo screen inconvenient, so I pulled the old one out of the closet. (At least I'm not trying to ride a vacuum.)

BUNNY

Bunny One

Some cute outfits from Amitomo, from the "Young and Free" gacha! This was at Kustom9 last month but I bet it migrated over to the main store.

The boots can be colored in sections and you can turn the little rabbit ears off if you don't want them.

OLD CYBER VILLAGE

Old Cyber VillageI really like these little buildings I picked up at the Arcade Gacha. Although they are obviously meant to be futuristic, they have softened over time. The colors and details are cute, not entirely grunge, and a few persistent trees to keep them from looking too dystopian. That's encouragingly optimistic! I dressed them up sparingly with a bench, a lovely classic car, and a few lights.
