Fly Me to the Moon

I've become addicted to Koinup, which leads me to explore any number of amazing places and to wear stuff that I would never consider before. Having always been an SF nerd (we all have our addictions), I scooted off and bought some Steam Punk gear for the recent competition hosted by said photographic site and thought I would show it off. Having said that, what I really want you all to go and look at is 109 Prims, which specialises in all manner of groovy things, including costumes, and the cutest dollarbie kitty to wear on your head. The build is also, without a doubt, abso-fuckin-gorgeous! If you don't believe me, go and have a look... So, muchachos, without further ado, what the hell are you waiting for? Go. NOW!

Clobber I'm wearing:

• Skin - Minajunk exotic Red L$1000
• Outfit - DE Second Coming L$395
• Steampunk Wings (orgasmically good!) - Mochi Products L$100
• Tanker Helmet (with goggles) - Mochi Products L$150
• CyberArm Rusty Steampunk - PrimtroniCs L$269
• Hemp rope tech belt fem - PrimtroniCs L$290

Here be Pirates... Arrr!

My pirate name is:

Bloody Grace Bonney

Every pirate lives for something different. For some, it's the open sea. For others (the masochists), it's the food. For you, it's definitely the fighting. You can be a little bit unpredictable, but a pirate's life is far from full of certainties, so that fits in pretty well. Arr!

Antiquity Tortuga is an awesome sim, and everybody should go there just to get the true feel for what it's like to be a Pirate buckling yer swash on the seven seas. I loved it, and took some pretty good piccies while I was there too, then did some shopping for the basque and the cutlass you land-lubbers do see. So, folks, some shopping - not much - but pretty amazing tourist stuff. Go have an adventure. :D

Super Exploring & A Bit of Shopping Too!

Go to Cilix, because it has great stuff to buy and it is a bloody gorgeous build. There are any number of fantastically great bargains to be had and, as well as some of the better known designers - such as J of J's Shoes - there are some who are not well known but whose work is more than admirable. The dress I am sporting was a mere L$95 from SD Boutique, and is really lovely workmanship (that's the main SLurl, btw, cos I wants yas to take a look at the sim).

I have no idea who the brat in the picture with me is, he just appeared while I was trying to do my modeling thang and was looking for his 'mama' (???). So... if you're out there, 'mama', please can you come and collect the sprog. Thankee kindly.

Parting is such Sweet Sorrow

As anyone knows, if you follow the blogs, Nora has shut up shop and buggered off, which is a shame as I have always liked her work, even if this av doesn't wear much. However, she has left a gift that is incredibly generous and pretty fucking amazing... skins. Not just any old skins, but excellent, beautiful, and detailed and they are FREE! She is also offering the PSD files here.

I ain't gonna get the puppies out, even if they are just a collection of pixels, but suffice to say, you won't be disappointed. I'm not, and I count myself as a serious skin whore, being completely entranced by Minajunk to the extent I wear nothing else. But I will be wearing this - you can count on it.

So... come and get 'em while they're hot!

Summat to Say - at last!

Been away long time from the grid and the blog, but it's all because I rediscovered a previous passion i.e. writing. And not just some bollox about clothes, but stories, real fictioin with a SF bent. Now I ain't saying I'm good, but it does feel fine to be doing something with my head apart from working the live long day.

So what is the silly bird raving about, I hopefully hear at least a minute number say? Well, it's like this ya see, I was reading the blogs (like ya do) and I was suddenly stricken with the need for a shopping trip. Here are my finds:

QueenQueen outfits are so great, and while I like the pink number (ONE PIECE L$150), I have to say that the bodysuit, Psychedelic Number L$150, is just about my fave thing for ages. I had never heard of this designer, but the way the whole piece is put together is sexy. I'm wearing it with *aN* sweet pumpkin in black (sadly, this is no longer available as Anju Enoch doesn't seem to be making wigs now), minajunk skin Live Nolip01 L$1000, and Maitreya's Boot-alicious Suede Red L$250.

The other hair is from a great place called Little Heaven, and as soon as I saw this gorgeous pixie cut I had to have it. It was L$200, which for three sizes and all the wigs to fit male avs too, is pretty damn good. There are some camping chairs about too, which means this is a great sim to visit. I got me a free hair and backpack for my trouble, plus the sim itself is awesomely slummy and it is pissing down with rain. Go look, you will like it.

Oh yeah, plenty of poses for sale, and plenty of pose balls knocking about for all you budding would-be photographers.

Byeee...

New Kid in Town.

I've been kinda desperate for something to show on this here little bloglet of mine, as I haven't a snowflake's chance in hell of beating the big boys at their game, so imagine my delight at a notice that turned up from FashCon for a little place called /AXEL with a freebie top attached. It caught my somewhat jaded attention after wading through the shiteloads of spam that you get so I shrugged my shoulders and went to take a look. And I have to say it ain't half bad, kiddies...

This little number is a very nice outfit that has two types of skirt - a sculptie version (shown here) and a rather nice knee length flexi skirt that could be worn with plenty of other things. I'm afraid that sculptie skirt attachments are totally impractical, although they do look damn good in the piccies, which is a shame. Suinna Outfit L$175.

I bought another top - Argyl Cardigan (Blue) L$75 - from the shop as all the items are reasonably priced so there is no unexpected kidney extraction to pay for any of it. I hope when the "shop proper" opens (only a temporary outlet at the mo) that this will be maintained as being well-dressed in SL™ should be something we all strive for diligently! Skirt shown on the right is the flexi version from the first outfit.

The free top is rather niftily modeled - if I say so myself, and I do :P - below. I must say that it is a rather sweet little thing and well drawn, as are all the items, with good textures and maybe, if I'm being a picky bish, some very small seam issues.

Rest of the stuff I have on my bod are:

House of Heart Hair 1st May New release Pack- Free gift
TESLA shoes - Jane Leopard L$50
ETD shoes - T-strap Peep Wedges L$100
*MM Luxe* Jewellery - Quartz crystal Circle Bangle (scripted) L$95
*REDGRAVE* Pale Skin 02 - Emma *oldrose* L$990
[SG*] Tote Bag - L$0

The necklace I seem to have mislaid; something incredibly easy to do in the vast reaches of a scarily deepening inventory. Take heed, do not be afraid to trash stuff! LOL

Baby, I'm BACK...

So no blogging for some time, but then I ain't good at it, and oh my word, what terrible shennanigans there have been in the metaverse since my unscheduled absence. Minnu being depth-charged for plagiarism, and all that other bish-fest stuff... Wow. I'm just sad I managed to avoid it as there is nothing I like better than a bit of a brawl, provided I'm also on the winning team, that is. (Cowardice, you are my friend and I like living, so the maxim "live to fight another day" will NEVER apply to me. "Live to run" is more my style.) ;)

So what do I have for you to look at, then? Well, I like it, hence why it is here, so on with the descriptions and locations. Today I am mostly wearing:

A coat as a dress from a great little shop, AOI-YA, in JapaTown for the ridiculous price of L$40. The whole thing is adjustable, and the belt is a cute little thing attached to the skirt. Buttons are a separate prim attachment. This designer has got other things in the shop for sale that are cheap too, so browse as you may find something you like.
Tights are from *Sheer* and are L$100 for a "torn and lady-like" pack.
Free Tesla shoes, Shiny Felicity *Red* Slingback Stilettos, but these are probably not free anymore. Sowwy, folks.
Glasses from Nea-Ban for L$225 - Fujikat's Eyes.
Hair L$175 from House of Heart Design - the awesome Feral, which I HAD to have or I would've just curled up and died. You get five colours in the pack, so a real bargain plus this is a great group to join as there are regular freebies. Thanks, Sheltered Heart, from the bottom of my... er... heart. *coughs*
Free bag courtesy of (CS), and it is the lush, long-time-ago freebie, Hobo in Cherry Patent.
***REDGRAVE* skin, so NOT free, people, but beautiful and expensive, though not sooo bad that you need to sell a kidney, L$990 Pale Skin 02, Emma.
And last, my earrings are the lovely group gift from +plus *White Pearl Earring*. If you haven't been there, you must as the jewellery is utterly wicked.
