Enjoying the Holiday Grind

The holiday grind has not gotten to me yet… in fact today I’m enjoying it! Gothmas style! Though I admit, I did wake up early to make pancakes. Does it count as Gothic if I made the pancakes in the shape of little bats and “colored” them with Nutella to get them to look right? I know my daughter was certainly thrilled!

Speaking of the holiday grind… the Radio Grind has everything you need for a Gothmas! Or just for a Gothic day… or steampunk (it could qualify for that with the right decor). Either way, I stopped by the Cart Sale again, and made away like a banshee!

The Radio Grind has me dressed up in style in this Storypunk Wonderland Red dress. It is mesh with lots of sizing choices to fit your avatar… and at only 10L for such fabulous details? I fell in love!

If red isn’t your thing, don’t worry! This same gorgeously detailed dress was at the cart in two other colors for the same low price, one of which was a soft floral blue, pretty enough for the spring days to come.

So it’s the holiday. Merry Gothmas and Happy Holidays (all of them) and good cheer for the New Year! Are you loving my set? Me too! Would you believe that this AMAZING skybox is only 10L at the Radio Grind cart at the Cart Wash Sale?!

The skull throne and curtain were included details from Radio Grind skybox, though I did toss down a few things of my own for this picture. You can get the Glyphic Circle by Nocturne Creations from the Marketplace for only 50L. It is animated and scripted to turn, and only 3 prim when you set it down.

I also set George out again. He joined me once before in a long ago post. My hellpup is a sweet Gacha prize you can get in store from Sweet Thing. It is just a touch over our 75L limit, but I had to share him with you! For just 80L per spin you can get a chance at this cute pup — either in holdable or the “plop” option shown. And he comes in lots of classic Gothic styles!

Last, but certainly not least, I hope you are still making all of your advent stops! Many stores are finishing off with grand finales today! My lovely little Kiss Me Holly stick pin is by Chop Zuey and is FREE with your group tag (350L to join). This advent is generous indeed in that there are 12 days of group only gifts (the group is 350L to join) with a men’s side and women’s side (so 24 gifts total there alone) PLUS an additional completely FREE advent with 12 days of FREE gifts too! And the advents for this store are open the full time so if you miss a day you can still get all the gifts. Be sure to pick them all up before they are gone!

Arcade Gifts A Plenty

Good afternoon Fabulous Readers!  I have to start my post off by warning you that you will probably want to grab a coffee or make sure you are comfy in your chair because this is a looooong post!  I usually try to keep my posts short and sweet, but when I opened the rest of The Arcade Gacha gifts that I picked up under the tree I found that there was a ton of décor and I decided to put a little set together.  I was so happy with how it turned out that I called Astrid over to snap a photo with me!
Aside from the décor items that I will mention shortly, I wanted to also tell you about a couple things Astrid and I are wearing.  Astrid’s red hot little number is called Eclipse Mini and can be found, priced at 10L for the Christmas on 34th Street Event.  My sparkly black Holiday Cocktail Dress is not only fab for your upcoming holiday events, but makes for a great date night dress any time of the year.  This dress is by [RUBY] and can be picked up for FREE in the KittycatS Advent Calendar!  Instead of tossing on a necklace as I usually would, I decided to wear some ink instead!  I don’t normally wear a lot of ink, but when I came across the Creed Tattoo by White Widow as a FREE Peace on Earth Hunt Prize, I knew it would be hot with a black dress!  This tattoo works with system bodies and comes with a ton of different appliers for mesh bodies.
Ok!  Now onto the décor!  I started off my little holiday room with the Pixel Mode Remington Chaise and Fireplace which are 50L per play at The Arcade Gacha.  I rezzed a copy of my favourite Christmas Tree by LAQ Décor and then decorated with ALL FREE gifts from under the tree at Arcade Gacha (which is much easier to get into now, in case you are wondering!)

Seats – Ariskea Season of Giving  – These come in a pack of two and make great little tables.
Eggnog Tray – Baclava Eggnog Tray – Allows you to turn the steam on and off.
Tea – Tres Blah Cozy Winter Teacup – Just one little prim and is super cute with lemon.
Puppy in Box – Xin What’s In The Box – A holiday box with a pup hiding inside.
Layered Cake – Dust Bunny Berry Cake – Layered berry cake and cream on a wooden plate.
Art – Garbaggio All I Want For Christmas Is Shoes – comes in both red and white and is resizable.
Fireplace Décor 1 – D-LAB + LIZAIL Santa Gift – a little Santa!
Fireplace Décor 2 – DRD Arcade Gift Miniature Bastion – A large snowglobe that actually snows.
Fireplace Décor 3 – r(s)w The Little Drummer – Manny – A wooden drummer boy.
Fireplace Décor 4 – Madpea Soldier Follower – I am using this as décor, but it is actually a Soldier that follows you as you walk!
Whew, if you are still here… thanks for sticking with me Fab Readers.

ps. Thank you to Astrid too, for making my house 10 degrees hotter!

Living C-Side

Hello Fabulouses! If you are in the market for a new little house, you should check out the free gift that Greymoon Creations is offering at the landing point of their shop.  I was able to pick up the C-Side Home as shown in the photo for free!  I didn’t even have to join the group – although I did anyways (free to join) – because they have a group mini mania board as well with another build!

The C-Side House is 17/20 in size and has a land impact of 55 prims.  It features a livingroom area with fireplace, lots of windows and a separate bedroom with a door.  It is a very well made little home for your plot of land.

There are actually several gifts available including a waffle house lol, so flip through the option board to see all of them.

Susy Sells Seashells

Hi there Fabulouses! I did myself a little hunting last night and found that Hapi*Rabi has an adorable mesh Susy Dress cleverly hidden inside a For Her Hunt icon.  For just 1L I was able to pick up this sweet off the shoulder, floral printed dress!  You can find this same dress in lavender inside a group lucky board (50L to join) as well if you prefer purple over pink.

It was just sheer luck that the Heart Bag that is the latest free group gift at C’est La Vie had a pink inside the texture change HUD that matched perfectly with this dress!  The C’est La Vie group is free to join.  Check out their lucky board too!

The decorative items in my photo today are all pieces from the Dust Bunny My Summer Retreat Set currently being offered at the June round of The Arcade Gacha for 50L per play.  I was really hoping to get that fancy house boat, but was pleased with the Daisy Shack just the same!  Maybe I’ll go back and try again …  Mowahh ahaa ha ahaaa

Enjoy your day and thanks for reading!

Wayward & Lazy

 Hello Fabulouses! I have put together a cozy outdoor display to show you some free and inexpensive Second Life decorative items and furnishings that are currently available via the Wayward Hunt and the Tag Gacha Event.

I started off with the Trompe Loeil Shotgun Shack that was at the previous round of The Arcade playing at 25L per play.  If you didn’t happen to snag one of these when the event was on, you can play it at the Trompe Loeil Mainstore now.   I then added several pieces of the ISON Tag Gacha Fortune Set such as the curtains in the background, the wooden chests, wooden chair, rugs, pillows and lantern.  This machine is 50L per play.

You can find the Tree Swing by Pixel Mode, which I have placed on my porch (I’m such a rebel) as a free Wayward Hunt prize.  This swing offers a menu full of single animated poses and an adjust option which is really nice if your avatar is not the standard size.  The Salvaged Wood Welcome Sign behind me on the shack wall can be found at Frogstar after you locate that hidden Wayward Hunt icon.

Cheeky Pea is where you need to visit if you’d like to pick up the Rodeo Chime which is available in three colour options as a free Wayward Hunt Prize and the Geode Mobile displayed beside the Rodeo Chimes is at Fancy Décor (also a free WH prize!).

The Toro Racer Bicycle which comes complete with a posing animation is a free group gift for joining the Wayard Events group, and they not only want you to have this gift, but they want you to take pictures of it and submit them for display on their website too.  You can find this in the past notices of the group.

Last but not least, I wanted to mention that the striped Sprite T-Shirt that I am wearing is a Wayward Hunt prize at Moran which comes in a pack of three colours (blue, black and red).
