Patchwork Cute

This post took a whole lot of effort to piece together, just like a patchwork quilt. I took me days to get the style together, then to hunt for a cute location, another two to finally get my photos done (thank you SL), and yet another day to track down all my location SLurls and event landmarks. I hope it was worth it, it takes a lot of work to look this cute. Thank goodness for great new hair from .ploom., Missy is available now exclusively at The Big Show. I almost always wear my hair up like this in my everyday, and the pumped up bun on top is pretty accurate (even though my hair is very salt and pepper, white/grey and black). It's mainly because I am way overdue for a trim, like years overdue, and my long hair reaches my lower back. Not sure if it looks as cute in real life as it does on my avatar, but I am going with it.

Nothing Boring About Beige

Today I feel rather plain, so I threw together what I anticipated to be a mood matching outfit, looking for a lot of ordinary old beige. Apparently, I failed miserably, because there is nothing remotely boring about this ensemble. My favorite part is the shoes. I have a weakness for everything from *REIGN., but these New Group Gift shoes are absolutely brilliant. They come with a HUD that allows for over a dozen full color and color/wood platform options. You can get them by joining the *REIGN. VIP group, which has a small $250L fee to join. Get the shoes in the past notices, even at that price they are a steal.

Dear Antie Mae

[Scroll Through More Images from flickr Below]

Dear Antie Mae,

I know it's been a very long time, I have been away for almost four years.  You were my first major fashion love in Second Life, and I can still remember it like it was yesterday. Anessa, my sister, happened into your store almost 8 years ago now, and she sent me an excited message, "You have to see this place!"  I then took the teleport that changed my Second Life, and to a large part, my first life too. There, in your soda shop, we realized this was what our Second Life was supposed to be about. We both shared a love for Retro, Rock 'N Roll, and Vintage, and we wanted to open a classy little joint to celebrate all the really curvy girls and the fun of the past. We hatched our plan for a little club called PIN UPS that day, and you were our very first vendor. We were over the moon when you set up shop in our lobby, and we quickly bought everything you made. Well, that little club turned into a whole SIM, Retrology, and you were there with us too. We became friends, and we shared a love for so many things, but mostly, we respected your amazing talent and your kindness, your friendship and your sense of fun. I miss you Antie Mae, and SL would not be the same without you.

Hugs and Kisses,

 Kets

Glitter Burps & Bunny Sniffles

[Glitterburps, Here Comes My Baby]

Today's silly bunny look is a wonderful mish-mash of great items that I love, and some fantastic quirky poses from the aptly named Glitterburps. Now available exclusively at Pose Fair 2014, which opened just a few hours ago, you can snag up these great poses and have a whole lot of fun taking snaps of yourself.

[Glitterburps, Here Comes My Baby]

The first three images in today's post contain poses from the Here Comes My Baby 5 pose set from Glitterburps. I found them to be adorable, and endlessly inspiring, as I pulled out my AnyPose HUD and made some silly faces to go along with them. I am not sure if I am out of gas and looking for car help, or if I have to pee, but I can't help but giggle at this whole scenario.

[Glitterburps, Here Comes My Baby]

From the Oh Joy 5 pose set, I picked the following pose to show off, since I look like I may be trying to flag down a passerby. These poses have great feet positions, and lots of different arm/hand positions that work perfectly with my Slink hands and feet. There were so many great poses, I have a few more shots in my flickr stream to show them off.

[Glitterburps, Oh Joy]

This final lying down pose, is a Glitterburps first, a new pose Gacha available at the Pose Fair 2014.  There are 6 poses available, the rare one being a cute couples pose.  As I was riding solo on this trip, I chose to be cute bunny roadkill for my final shot, either that or I got tired of waiting for help. In either case, make sure you get your bunny butt to Pose Fair 2014 and see all the wonderful on offer, making sure you stop in to check out Glitterburps.

[Glitterburps, All Of Me]

Hoppy Easter Sunday To Those Who Celebrate, Happy Allergy Season To All!

Silly Beans!

Well, I went, I looked, I found... heaps of fun at the 'Magic of OZ' Easter Egg Hunt. I spent a lot of time collecting eggs so I could show you all of the awesome stuff that can be won from the prize options from each vendor, and I plan to go back and get more eggs just as soon as I can. Yesterday(-ish) I told you all about how the hunt works [HERE]. Today it is all about the goodies! You can also check out the Ozimals Blog for more information.



Lets start off with this amazingly sweet Cheeky Bunny Dress from *katat0nik*. Each time you redeem a stack of eggs at *katat0nik*, you will receive one of three color versions of this dress. It comes in a Black version, a Brown version, and a Sky Blue look too. All are amazing and well worth the effort of finding just 6 little eggs.  On my wrists you can see some adorable bangles from +Half-Deer+, I believe there are two versions, one is called Bunny, the other is Pysanka, and they come with both wrist versions in the box. 



All the cracked eggs you see are prizes from Schadenfreude, each a version of Burd's Breakfast. So far I have found three versions, but I believe there are possibly more. You can re-size them and decorate your little nest for Easter too. The little Burds are gifts from ~Silent Sparrow~, they come in sets of two, and there are three sets to collect. Again, you can treasure them or display them, re-size them as you like. The two cushions, pink and blue, and the blanket and pillow set are from Pixel Mode. All have poses in them and are great for a picnic in the park or around the house.

Around my feet you may have noticed a number of bouncy little Bunnies. These are the famous Ozimals Bunnies, and I have found two types so far, Magic and Faith, and they can hatch into lop, half-lop, or regular eared versions of these special Russian Egg printed versions.  They sure can jump, it was like herding marbles in my studio box to get them into the pictures. What is wonderful is that you can get not just the bunnies as prizes, but things they need too. This is the same for the Ozimal Pufflings, a sort of bird like animal, also in the hunt.  You can get love potions, food, treats, totems, potions and other necessities for breeding these little sweeties. So what are you waiting for -- get hunting!

Taxi To Starting Point & Munchkin Land!

[Also available, but not shown here, are three special Bunny Nosed Skins, for Men and Women, from Fallen Gods Inc. All lovely and worth the hunt time.]

The Hunt Is On In OZ

Taxi To Starting Point & Munchkin Land!

There is a wonderful Egg Hunt going on right now in the Magic of Oz SIM in Second Life. This is the first hunt I have participated in since my return to SL over 8 weeks ago, after a 4 year abscence, and boy have things changed - for the better.  No more grid hopping madness, this is a one SIM wonderful experience. Hosted by the amazing Content Creators on the SIM, including GRID favorites like Ozimals, Silent Sparrow, Schadenfreude, and Katot0nik, among many more, the prizes are all beutiful items worth coveting, and you can spend as much or as little time collecting as you like. It all starts at the main TP point HERE.



Once you teleport in, grab up a free basket (in regular or small sizes for the wee SL folks), by touching the sign at the start of the Yellow Brick Road. You can't miss it. Attach the basket to your avatar by wearing it, and get your hunt on. All you have to do is spot one of the many colored eggs about the SIM, touch it (or right click and then touch if it's being tricky) and it will appear in your little basket. Once you have collected just 6 eggs, a pop-up menu will appear, and allow you to pick the shop you want your prize from. There are nine choices to be had, one for each participating shop in Munchkin Land.



You will then be offered an 'Egg Stack' from the shop you have chosen. At this point, you can either stop hunting and go visit the shop, or keep on hunting, and collect more and more stacks of eggs.  To collect your prizes, you visit the shop in Munchkin Land, and stand close to the big Easter Basket in the shop. Add the egg stack to your Avatar, it will end up on your head. Then click on the stack of eggs sitting on your head while within 2m of the basket and you will be given a prize.  Some shops have several different prizes, delivered at random, so you may have to visit a few times if you want them all. But I assure you, all the prizes are lovely and each one is worth the trip.



The 'Egg Stack' once used, may detach itself from your avatar, or you may detach it yourself, and then it will no longer work. You can then delete it or put it into a folder as a decorative item. Every six collected eggs brings up the menu, and a new stack can be collected. There are no limits. The eggs are also a Temp-Rez type item, so even if someone gets there before you do, it is only a matter of time before another pops up in the same place.  They can be found on the ground, in the shops, in little hiding spots like up in trees or near windows, or even underneath objects.  Look high and low, and have FUN!

Big thanks to all the vendors participating in the hunt, I know how difficult it is to arrange an event that is SIM wide, and to make it fun and rewarding. Explore the SIM, do some shopping, and if it is your first visit to OZ, I assure you, it won't be your last! Thanks go out to ~Silent Sparrow~, Schadenfreude, Cubic Cherry, Fallen Gods Inc., Ozimals Pufflings, Ozimals Bunnies, *katat0nik*, Pixel-Mode, & +Half-Deer+.

It's apparently Spring in Toronto, but you wouldn't know it looking outside. It snowed today, and my dreams of Ice Cream in the Beaches is pushed further along my calendar, but that's what makes my SL so wonderful. I decided to dress for my dream of sunshine and sweetness and head to Auntie Mae's (Antonia Marat's) Artilleri Mainstore SIM to check out the waves and the sunshine. It made my day so much better in an instant. Check out these cutie lace Mouse Ears and other sweet details that make this look so much fun. Here's hoping the snow melts quickly.
