The Holiday season is truly upon us. And the Grid is abuzz with shopping and presents and parties and of course Hunts. I do enjoy a good hunt and I am especially pleased to find good prizes for the men.
Go nuts
When Nuts Inc comes up on a Hunt, I know that I am in store for a good prize. And this time is no different. This is the ‘Thomas’ suit and it’s the free prize for the Peace on Earth Hunt from Nuts Inc. As I said, I knew I wouldn’t be disappointed with this prize. The suit comes in an all in one piece of jacket, shirt, pants, and tie. As an added bonus, the prize includes a very smart pair of shoes.

“Why, sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.” ― Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland
And today is all about making our own little winter wonderland! I think Lewis Carrol would approve, don’t you?!
“Who in the world am I? Ah, that’s the great puzzle.” ― Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland
Putting this outfit together was a bit of a puzzle, but it was well worth it! It’s a bit here, a bit there, but it all came together and look! There is Astrid! I started with the major work on the Marketplace Hunt. It’s become popular and is doing a Winter 2015 version this time! If you click the link for the hunt HERE you get a list of stores. You are looking for a silver and gold treasure box on their Marketplace listing.
I needed an outfit for my winter wonderland look, so first up was irrISIStible to the rescue with this amazing coat dress! It includes a hat as well, but I didn’t want to mess up my hair 😉 This highly detailed coat dress comes in all the standard mesh sizes and is a great fit for your wonderland adventures and is just whimsical enough for fantasy roleplay as well!
This lovely skin you see Astrid wearing is the FREEDecember Group gift from LoveMe Skins called Kylie. The group is FREEto join as well! It included six skin tones (Astrid is wearing Sunkiss), cleavage layers, optional skins with brows or no brows, and Omega Mesh Head Appliers for each skin tone. You can pick up body and Slink hand and feet appliers in the store if you wish!
“Imagination is the only weapon in the war against reality.” ― Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland
The devil is in the details I say! And we must sharpen our weapon of imagination! So I added some great details to round out this fantastical look.
I added a touch of pink lipstick that I found on the marketplace that is a December Promo from LIVIA called Radian Gloss Set1. This lipstick set is currently only 5L and includes system lipsticks plus appliers for Loud Mouth, Omega and Sweetlips, all in 6 lovely shades ranging from the pink Astrid has on, to a rich cocoa color.
Astrid’s sweet baby blue eyes are from * Inkheart* and are called Introvert Eyes – Celestial… another Marketplace Hunt gift item. If you do the hunting and find them, these mesh lovelies will only set you back 2L!
Last, but certainly not least, the Peace on Earth Hunt is still on and I’m still finding wonderful little prizes to fill my wardrobe with. If you look close in my second picture, the lovely little Peace Dove earrings that adorn Astrid’s ears are the POE8 hunt prize FREEfrom Deluxe Body Factory. Just stop by the main store and hunt for the blue globe and those are yours to wear home!

“Dare to love yourself as if you were a rainbow with gold at both ends.” ― Aberjhani, Journey through the Power of the Rainbow: Quotations from a Life Made Out of Poetry
The good news is, you won’t need a rainbow (or lindens) to get find your gold today.
The Peace on Earth Hunt 8 is well under way, and the prizes are golden. Literally! I found myself mesmerized by this Medieval Princess Gown in Gold Mesh with its attached Shawl by *GLITTER*. It is part of the hunt and like all the POE hunt gifts is FREEonce you find the little blue globe. This gorgeous gown comes in all the standard mesh sizes, is one piece for easy fitting, and would be perfect for roleplay or a formal night out.
The Princess gown called for some special jewelry and so I took to the Marketplace to do a bit of hunting there. I found these lovely mesh earrings by Spider Tree Designs. They are currently a FREEgift offered by the creator on marketplace. If you want the whole set (earrings and necklace together), you can purchase that for the small sum of only 75L.
Though the marketplace link shows silver earrings and says that they are no modify, I did find that the earrings were tintable when I opened the box, and was able to get them to lovely gold color with a little bit of playing! A perfect match to the gold of my dress!
Sometimes you have to weather the rain… after all sun and rain are what make rainbows. But if you’re going to sing in the rain you may as well do it in golden style… with a gown from PurpleMoon Creations. While doing my hunting on the POE8 hunt path I picked up this stunning black and gold gown FREEfrom PurpleMoon Creations, their offering for the Peace On Earth Hunt.
As always, it comes in all the standard mesh sizes and the detailing and textures are spot on. I love the thigh split on the skirt. Oh the drama! I felt like a movie star wearing this gown!
My last stop on the POE8 path today was Zuri Rayna Jewelry, where I found the perfect bracelet to pair with my gown from PurpleMoon. This FREE bracelet, aptly named Peace on Earth 2015, is a stunning creation of pearl encrusted into gold layers around the wrist and then formed into a peace sign. It is large enough to be bold, yet understated enough to be classic and elegant. It’s one of those jewelry pieces you don’t want to pass up.

Update 12/4/08: Apparently some of the slurl weren’t working! I updated them.. sowwy for the inconvience!
OMG, i’m going to try to post a whole lot of goodies I’ve found during the Peace on Earth (POE) hunt… it’s going to be a hard job.. cause there is soooo much to collect.. and hunting also takes time! Well here goes:
Not shown: Globe #051 KatKreation – KatKreations’ gift for the POE are a few shapes which are mod/copy so you can adjust them to your own standards. (not shown here)
The Peace on Earth Grid Wide Hunt starts off today.. Dec. 2nd. and lasts till Dec. 31th.
Sooo don’t worry.. plenty of time to start hunting. Although with 350 vendors participating you’d have to collect about 10-15 globes each day to get all the goodies!
And this is the Globe you are hunting for! It’s not that small, so you’ll notice them easy enough!
As you can see the starting points are numbers. When you buy the globe (L$1), the folder in you inventory also contains the number. Inside the folder is your present and the landmark to the next stop. Where you can find another globe with a number.. and so on… (the next number doesn’t have to be the actual next numer in line)! With the numbers it’s easy to see which numbers you still need to find! The starting points are at all different locations I suppose soo everyone doesn’t start at the same spot…. I guess!
Grid Wide Hunt > Peace on Earth!
– What? A Grid Wide Hunt! (= lots of freebies, goodies, gifts.. yay!)
The Grid Wide Hunt with the theme: PEACE ON EARTH will be from December 2nd – 31th with an International Theme sponsored by Mode Rage. Throughout all of SL there will be great gifts to find!

The theme of the PEACE ON EARTH hunt further explained:

It will be an opportunity for a grid wide celebration of the diversity that is Second Life. We wish to foster understanding , tolerance, and respect throughout this global community. [from peace on earth blog]
Well it got me in the mood to go and explore the Grid for something to learn about other culturs… and I had a great time wandering around the Bollywood Grid… I’m all in the spirit!
I got all dressed up for the occasion.. and here’s the result!
I’m wearing a Sari with jewelry and bangles all from one very cute Nepalese shop. This shop has all kinds of Nepalese/Indian clothing styles for 0L. The shop will close on Dec. 19th.. soo hurry if you’re in to it!
