A guest blog by Sedia Darkrose, originally blogged [HERE].
αмαɭϮнєα, of [PS] ~Pixy Stix~ fame, has been working hard lately, both in and out of SL. She also recently celebrated her birthday. So, I thought I would make her a little giftie with her latest creations, released at the newly reopened OMG Oh My Gacha. Not only are the bodysuits really lovely themselves, but the rare gold and silver each come with their own amazing skins as well! How can you beat that? To top it all off, literally, I found this wonderful crown and veil set at Art in Hats 2014, which features a large collection of some truly top-notch hat designs.

The inspiration for this post was seeing May Tolsen’s release for the current round of Kustom9 – ‘Space Friends‘ are so adorable that I knew I had to have some for my very own. These detailed original meshes are designed to be worn as attachments but I thought it would be fun to rez them for this post; I resized ‘My Home,’ (taking care to make a note of its original dimensions so I could return it back to its intended state once I was done) and I love the results!
Of course, setting up a space-themed post meant I got to shop for lots more cool stuff (not that I ever really need much of an excuse.) I stumbled across Nylon Popstar‘s leotards a little while ago and I knew they would be the perfect starting point for my outfit – there are 9 colours to choose from, each including 2 transparancy options, multiple layers and Phat Azz and Lolas appliers for only L$50 a pack. Hopefully the pictures speak for the amazing quality of the texture itself – it really is that shiny!
A search for space-y items on Marketplace returned these funky boots by Killer Cerise and I just had to have them: the style and texture is just so cute! I resized them slightly and used the alpha for my Slink feet rather than the one included as my legs are pretty small.. but that is the beauty of modifiable items, with just a little tinkering you can have them fit pretty much any shape you choose to be.
I found Olli Braveheart‘s hair store, LCKY, thanks to a fellow blogger and I’m now a big fan: the styles there are really something special and the colours in the packs are some of the loveliest I’ve seen. The one I’m wearing here is an older style which fitted perfectly under Dolce Blackflag‘s fab helmet – there are currently 15 discounted styles out in store sold in colour packs costing only L$50 each.
I’ve layered quite a lot of eye makeup for an ‘out of this world effect’ but the skin itself is a lovely dollarbie from the ever-fabulous MiaSnow (back in-world again, yay!): its lips were already a perfect match for my chosen outfit.
I hope you enjoy this look at least a little as much as I’ve enjoyed creating it!
I absolutely LOVE Halloween..and I look forward to when October rolls around so I can start putting costumes together and decorating my place. One of the best things about Halloween in SL is that I don’t have to wait until the 31st to start wearing my costumes and the decorating isn’t limited to my small First Life apartment.
{dollle*} just sent this fantastic Bloody Bandage Dress to their subscribo members. *It is a mesh item so you will need a mesh enabled viewer to see it properly. I paired the outfit with this fabulous Bride of Frankenstein Hair from Paper Heart; available on the Marketplace for 1L and the Blood Blaster Heart from A Folf in Sheep’s Clothing; also available on the Marketplace for 1L.
I finished off the costume with a deep crimson colored lip tattoo, that I scored for 1L from cStar Limited, at The Boho Culture Fair, Bloody Tears III Face tattoo (5L) from REPULSE , and Dead bloody eyes from Sicknessthesia…(FREE) on the Marketplace. The Liane Goth skin in silver, from Amacci, was featured by Renee here.
I went all out decorating my sim for Halloween and I saved buckets of Linden by taking advantage of the wonderful hunts taking place around the grid and by scouring the Marketplace for freebies. The Zombie Mausoleum is a prize for the SL’s Top Haunted Places Tour & Hunt from Post Mortum Designs, the crows are actually Walking Skeleton ACTION auto-rezzers from Another Fine UGH Design for 10L on the Marketplace and the tombstones are free…as part of a Halloween Decor set from Diavolo Creations. The black pumpkins are a group gift, 50L to join, from ::PM:: Purple Moon Creations.
Hunting for freebies on the Marketplace can be quick and easy when you use a few tricks to filter what you are searching for. I always search the Marketplace with a key word for the item I am interested in and then use the “Category” and “Price” filters in the side column. The category column can be filtered down to a fairly specific group and I usually search for items priced between 0-10L. There are other ways to search for freebies on the Marketplace, but I find this to be the quickest route. Just remember to only take freebies that are from the creator of the item and that you write a kind review if you like the item. Creators really appreciate the positive feedback and it is a great way to thank them for offering something free to everyone in SL.
Additional Info:
The pics were shot on my private home sim, which is part of SL’s Top Haunted Places Tour & Hunt…so stop in to hunt for your FREE gifts!! (Made by my fantabulous husband <3)
The facial expression is from AnyPose Expression, available for FREE on the Marketplace, from Phate Shepherd Creations.
The pose was created by myself using Animare Pose & Animation System (NOT free), available on the Marketplace, from YT Recreant.
LuTimez’s new group gift is the adorable belt with elephant decoration dangling from the side. I picked it up today and thought to myself… “Now where am I going to take pictures of this…. what does it make me think of? The jungle of course!”. So, I went to Tarzan’s Jungle. Have you been to Tarzan’s Jungle? There are elephant trunks flailing all over the place, and lions growling and strange birds cawwing… Quite an overwhelming place! Turns out… my avatar has the same issues with large wild animals that I do. Love snapped the pictures and ran her skinny butt out of there!
The tops I am wearing in this post are Paper.doll’s group gift for March. There is a 200L fee to join the group, but the gifts have been monthly, so a good deal 🙂
My skin can be found at Modish on special for just 99L! It’s called Apple Blossom Sunkiss and has rosey pink cheeks and plum eyeshadow. They also have a group gift available (previously blogged), so be sure to check the wall for it!
