The Artist Shed – 1L Candy Christmas Hunt
Funny Bone free group gift at FaMESHed w/ a free group join
Alright guys, I’ve left the beach and I’m gonna hitch a ride to anywhere but here. Sometimes city life does get to be a bit of a bother, so I’m eschewing the concrete jungle with a firm hand and I’m going mobile!
My hitchhiking look is all inspired by a fun hunt that’s going on right now at Death Row Designs (aka DRD). It’s not necessarily the easiest thing in the world, but it was pretty entertaining! I landed at the main store and joined the group for FREE, then grabbed the hunt HUD. Walking along the main path of the store, you’ll find little lunch bags all over the place! You give them a click, and inside will be your fun wearable prize (I just strewed my stuff all over the place so you can see it, but all the items are wearable and feature a great bento hold animation). The tricky bit with this hunt, is that all the bags you’re hunting for are not static, in other words, once you click on it it will disappear into the ether and show up somewhere else. Don’t let that deter you, I got the hunt done fairly quickly without too much head scratching! Once you collect all the prizes, you get the final prize which is this cool backpack which comes in both male and female sizes. Can’t say no to that!
To match my hitchhiking mood, I clearly needed the right outfit for hitting the road, and this great one by Crom fits the bill perfectly. I grabbed it over at The Wash Sizzling Summer Cart Sale for a measly 25L. Perfect! This outfit comes sized for Freya, Venus, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, Voluptuous and Fitmesh Sizes from S-L with an Alpha layer.
Hit the Road, Readers!

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.)
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:
The boots are “one size fits all.” Just remember to remove your mesh feet first.
I shopped around quite a bit to find the perfect accessories for my look:
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!

Just five more minutesIt 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.
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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!
