Zombie Hunter

To get myself into the mood for Halloween, I decided to grab my crossbow and head over to Dystopia in search of zombies. Unfortunately, my car broke down, so it looks like I’ll be staying for a while.

Hang on, I think I see something moving behind that big pile of trash…

(For the record, there don’t appear to be any zombies at Dystopia. But if you’re looking for a well-designed, post-apocalyptic sim, you should definitely pay it a visit.)

The Outfit

What inspired my look today was the September group gift from Ghee. I’ve seen it styled a number of different ways on Flickr, but for some reason, when I put it on, I felt all Sarah Conner from The Terminator. All I had to do was add a weapon, and I was a bad@$$ zombie hunter! 😎

The VIP 09/17 GIFT from Ghee is a complete outfit that includes the cargo pants, tank top, and boots. The ribbed tank comes with a texture-change HUD with 6 different colors — black, yellow, orange, blue, pink, and the beige color I’m wearing — so you could definitely wear the tank as part of another outfit.

Sizes for the pants and top include:

• Standard mesh XXS-L with alpha
• Belleza Freya, Isis, and Venus
• Maitreya Lara
• Slink Hourglass and Physique

The boots are “one size fits all.” Just remember to remove your mesh feet first.

The Accessories

I shopped around quite a bit to find the perfect accessories for my look:

• Hair – I picked up the Rossella Hair by Tableau Vivant at The Arcade for 50L. I love this “roots” version because everyone knows zombie hunters don’t have time to dye their hair, right?
• Sunglasses – These super cool DESTRUCTINATOR glasses by TBF are available on the Marketplace for 10L. There’s no resizer, but you can edit > stretch to change the size.
• Necklace – Another gacha, this time by Dahlia at The Imaginarium for 50L. Click for a resizer menu.
• Bracelet – An oldie, but a goodie, by Eli Rae’s Tinkering, available for 5L on the Marketplace. There’s no resizer, and you can’t stretch either, so the size is what it is. Originally shown 4 years ago by Caresia Adored, some SL items just never go out of style. 🙂

The Weapon

No zombie hunter would be complete without a weapon, of course. I selected this scary crossbow by Blackburns, which I found on the Marketplace for 29L. It comes with a wearable version that hooks onto your back (without any straps, which I thought looked a bit odd), as well as the

It comes with a wearable version that hooks onto your back (without any straps, which I thought looked a bit odd), as well as the posed version that I’m showing here, which actually shoots. Oh, and it includes an arrow that you can wear in your head, if you like.

Sadly, I didn’t find any actual zombies to shoot at in Dystopia. But I did have fun firing at the trees on my sim, which scared the daylights out of my dogs. 😛

Happy hunting, folks!

ZZZZZZ

Just five more minutes

It was all peachy and peaceful until 6:55AM…  This is my morning routine, done most days like clockwork.

6:55 AM – (opens one eye and tries to muffle the sound of the alarm clock with a pillow)

6:56 AM – (smacks randomly at the night stand trying to turn off “Walking on Sunshine, WHOAH” – misses it and gives up)

6:57 AM – (buries herself under the blankets, head and all, trying harder to hit the snooze button… ahhh  hits it! :))

7:00AM – (Alarm B goes off…  groans into pillow and admits defeat – FINE!)

A few years back, after learning there is just no avoiding the routine, I started setting my alarm five minutes ahead so I wasn’t late.  I believe I have scheduled myself 5 more minutes.  Whatever works, I say!  I was so comfy in my new nightie by United Color, having the most wonderful dream that I just didn’t want to get up, and I certainly didn’t want to change into day clothes, or go to work…  but alas I had to.

Are you a morning person?

Whether you are a morning person or not, you’ll look fantastic in this feminine little nightie.  The Midnight Dress in white is available as a FREE GIFT at The Free Dove in the lingerie section and comes with a texture change HUD that allows you to switch up the lace three different ways.  I zoomed in nice and close so you can see just how detailed the texturing is on this beautiful design.

Sizes Included:

• Maitreya Lara
• Slink Physique & Hourglass
• Belleza Freya & Isis

Slowly Going Nowhere

Hello again Fab Free’rs! Finally it’s starting to feel like fall where I live. I’m excited to be able to dig out more of my fall wardrobe. Until now, my virtual wardrobe has had to support my love of cold weather clothing. That said, I also find I spend more time outside when the weather is colder. There was something interesting in unique about the “Acid Rain” group gift from Death Row Designs. While definitely not the ideal patio furniture, it certainly tells a story. I also styled my outfit for the cooler weather using a dollarbie hunt prize sweater from Vindiktive.

Role-play is such a huge part of Second Life, and even though I rarely participate in that aspect these days, I’m always inspired by creations in SL that lend themselves to storytelling. After all, story telling is essentially what role-play is all about. This FREE group gift chair and umbrella set from Death Row Designs does just that. The “Acid Rain” set of ruined furniture is highly detailed and has both male and female poses for the chair. Also included in the gift are two hand-held umbrellas which are not shown. When I saw this gift, I instantly thought about where these items had been, who they belonged to, what had happened. It made me think of situations where this furniture fit the scenario, like a post apocalyptic environment. The story started to unfold. That’s why I chose to share this unique gift with you. The Death Row Designs group is FREE to join, just wear your tag and click the gift vendor to get this gift.
Next up, you guessed it, my sweater loving soul found another sweater! This one is the “The High Life Hunt” prize at Vindiktive. I’m not often a fan of high cropped sweaters, but this one I adore. I like the fall colors of the plaid, and the material texture looks like it would be soft and warm to the touch. I even like the mock turtleneck. This hunt is a dollarbie hunt, so the sweater costs just 1 linden. There are no groups to join, just head out to Vindiktive and hunt it down. Included in the package you’ll get the sweater in standard mesh sizes, as well as body specific sizes for Slink Physique, Slink Hour Glass, Maitreya Lara, Bellezia (Isis, Freya, Venus), and TMP. With all the sizes included, this top should be easy to wear for most mesh and classic avatars.

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!

Old School

Happy Friday everyone 🙂 I am stopping by the blog today to share news with you about the current Sn@tch Fishing Prize!  Right now you can fish for the 21 piece Back To School Set that includes five mesh skirts, four mesh sweaters, socks, shoes lipgoss and freckles.  One of the things that I like about these fishing prizes at Sn@tch is that they are so versatile.  You can mix and match and toss in your own additions as well.  I am wearing the BTS black sweater vest, the bow and  the grey skirt today, but you can see the whole collection in their vendor ad below.  You will need to have the 7Seas Fishing Rod to fish for these items which can be purchased right in the 7Seas Vendor at Sn@tch.  It will set you back 100L, but you can use it for future fishing prizes – one time fee.    These fishing prizes switch out every couple of weeks!  No bait is required.
With Halloween coming up next month, I also wanted to mention that DRD is offering a free gift of decorative Mystery Mansion Cob Webs at The Arcade Gacha that look amazing with their Mystery Mansion Gacha Set, although you could use them in any old skeery house!  These webs come in a pack of four different shapes.

Mad Maxine

I’m not sure about anyone else but whenever I hear about “Post Apocalyptic” anything, my mind instantly turns to “Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome”! Maybe I’m showing my age here?! I don’t care, the movie is a cult classic. Not to mention that Grace Jones and Tina Turner were nothing less than fierce in that movie. Not sure what I’m talking about? I seriously suggest you google that.

After visiting the current round of Secret Affair, I was very much inspired. With the help of Luas, and Roawenwood, I channeled a little bit of my “Beyond Thunderdome” muses, and easily put together a fierce post-apoc look. Plus I got the added thrill of playing a gacha machine. Bonus!

My Twisted Lament

I usually don’t go out into the woods during the day, nevermind during the night… but thankfully this is in my backgarden so I didnt have to worry about anything too bad jumping out to surprise me. Except maybe a kitty or two or maybe Mr0mizu!

There is still heaps of time to make your way through the evilest hunt in Second Life.. The notorious Twisted Hunt! There are over 100 stores taking part and heaps of side games and mini hunts to play, as well as Gacha’s galore and other goodies. This hunt isnt for the faint hearted as each store can be an epic challenge to find the Lament Box that holds the prize .. there are booby traps and decoys everywhere! But if you are determined, there are some amazing free gifts to behold!

Below I am showing a few of the home and garden gifts you can find. The Scrying Ruins are the prize you can find at Souzou Eien and is truely gorgeous. I will say that the large groups of candles are not included as I added them for effect. The black withered Web Of Time trees that are at the edges are by Noctis and are one of two prizes you can find here.

Isn’t that such a bewitching sight by candle light in the middle of the night! That almost sounds like an incantation.. I should be careful!

I had to wait until light came around to be able to take pictures to show you the amazing Spellcraft gown by Snatch that is another prize from the Twisted Hunt. This years theme is Time Warp which has allowed designers to include their Twisted Hunt prizes from over the years in a series of mini games or mini hunts that run along side the main hunt for this years prize. To find out what is going on at each store, simply click the board propped up on an easel near the TP point. No prize should be past 30 meters from where you land so that can be helpful to know, especially when you land in a huge store! The Spellcraft gown was last years prize from Snatch and is gorgeous. It comes with the necklace you can see and also a matching pair of earrings! Perfect for the little Witch inside of you.

The amazing Nevermore head piece I am wearing is one of the Rare gacha prizes by Chary and can be found at the new round of The Secret Affair. I was also lucky enough to win the rare Chamber Silver Raven Ring by REIGN which is from another gacha at the same event.

The lips I am wearing are the beautiful Milky Lips in Peach with adorable teeth detailing by Angelica that you can find at the new round of The Gacha Mania. They also have a second gacha there which is where my eyes come from. These are the Clear Eyes in Blood. Both machines are L$30 to play!

The last thing I have to show you is the DRD Carousel by Death Row Designs that is also from the Twisted Hunt. This would be the perfect addition to any Halloween decoration for the upcoming spooky season! I really love this and I love the lights that flash on and off as it spins around. Its so much fun!

Combat Boots with Everything

I hope everyone had a Fabulously Fantastic weekend! I know I did! hehehe It’s a shame it has to be Monday, again. Didn’t we just go through this last week? 😛 At least we can take some time here and there to escape the Monday’s in Second Life and enjoy some shopping, or as I (and several others) like to call it, retail therapy!

Today I decided to go with a slightly different look, one I genuinely enjoy quite a bit. Have you ever known a girl who wore her combat boots with everything… seriously, everything, and yet somehow managed to make it look awesome?! Well this is that girl. These detailed mesh combat boots have been seen on Fab Free numerous times, but I love them, so I’m showing them again. Everyone should have a pair in their wardrobe. Since we started with the boots, I’ll move to the dress next. This funky printed mesh dress is really flattering on. I like the almost camouflage look to it, but more artful and sophisticated. The dress is by OVH and you can pick it up at The Dressing Room Fusion for just $5o lindens! In the past I’ve sort of ignored jewelry in Second Life. Now, I’m learning to love it. I managed to get this stunning necklace from Zibska at The Fantasy Gacha Carnival. The necklace also includes a set of matching earrings, and at just $50 lindens per play, the set is too pretty to not have it in your jewelry box! To go with my artsy dress and the beautiful jewelry, I needed my nails to make a statement also. I chose to go with a manicure from the Anarchy set at Nail Me! . This set is a $1 gift as part of the Anarchy hunt. The nail pallet has two unisex versions, both with some anarchy attitude! Like the poses I’m using? They are part of a great set called “Call me… Elf”  put out by Les Encantades Poses which can be had for $50 lindens for a limited time at The Countdown Room!
