Great game on tonight

On By AlexaIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

Morning!! The long awaited 6º Republic Event opens its doors today at 12 noon, SLT, which for me is an additional +3 hours, making it 3 p.m. eastern time zone.  Lots of great stuff this round!!

The theme is USA Freestyle and so every designer/creator got to pick whatever part of the USA they wanted to represent.  Some mention and others don’t.  In this case the decor from KraftWork is representative of Puget Sound, which is a coastal area of the Pacific Northwest in the state of Washington. Kosmii decor is Florida and Balaclava skybox has a desert scene or lake view, so could be a few places.

The ragdoll cat, which is big and fluffy is the newest collection by JIAN out now at FaMESHed.  I’m also showcasing a few gacha items at The Gacha Gardens from Yokai, Bang! Vinyl and Llama, Inc., all listed below.

Hope you enjoy and stay tuned for more!

In my post this morning I forgot to mention that I would be blogging the decor items shown in my picture where I was showcasing the items on me.  The cold weather had my brain all scrambled that I just totally forgot.

In any case, here is the decor post featuring sponsors and events.  A happy start to your weekend!!

Today’s post is featuring new and old releases of home decor.  The August round of Builder’s Box is out now with some fantastic homes and skyboxes.  I’m showcasing the New York Basement Loft by KraftWork. It’s a 12×12 foot print with 172 land impact and 100% mesh original skybox with working doors and includes a frame and candles (last two not shown).  You can learn all about Builder’s Box and how to purchase new and old subscription boxes by visiting the website.

I’m also delighted to have been chosen to blog for Cheeky Pea and today I’m featuring another recent release. The Cosy Cottage Sofa is available currently for a few more days at N21.  It’s three versions of the sofa that are available also in either PG or Adult version. It has a land impact of 8, and animations for singles and couples.

I’m featuring several decor pieces from Zen Creations, which are previous releases and available now at the Main Store.  The items are from two separate sets — the Cosmopolitan and Contempo sets, but all work together quite nicely.  Then also a snuggle lounger too.  Go check out this store in-world if you haven’t already.

The last items being featured are by 22769, which are common pieces from the Refugium Gacha at The Epiphany and their free gift for the event.

Have a great one!

Storytelling

On By AlexaIn Events, Fashion, Furniture, Home2 Comments

This picture was born out of the request from a creator if we could include avatars in the blog post using their decor — to see some form of emotion, tension or message that creates a story that others can identify with.  Most often than not I don’t like to pose myself in decor pictures, because I want the focus to be on the decor and not myself unless I am also showcasing fashion.

Though it was a reasonable request that I felt that I could manage and since I had some sexy pieces of lingerie that I needed to also blog the idea for me, myself and I came to fruition.  The decor is the club sofa set by N4RS available now at FaMESHed, which is made up of the brown sofa, decorative table beside it with the candle and rug.  The black lingerie is by V/. VoluptasVirtualis and it’s at the Crystal Heart Festival with the hair I’m wearing by No.Match at The Liaison Collaborative. The scarlet harness set is by The Forge and this is at the recently open new round of The Fantasy Collective.

Enjoy the rest of your day!

Far from home, but closer than ever

It’s a lovely Tuesday morning, despite it being 81°F outdoors and if you add the humidity on top of that it’s pretty uncomfortable for someone who isn’t used to the heat. I’m used to it. Preferably indoors with air condition and a refreshing drink. That reminds me that I have a mango to slice into later on.

Today I’m showing fashion from two events that opened up in the last days, On9 and The Liaison Collaborative.  Both great events that have a mixture of fashion, decor and poses and lots more, so make sure to go check them out.

Have a fabulous Tuesday!

Musical session on a hot summer night

unkindness 005-33

Indie Teepee is back with a midsummer nights theme. If you are not familiar with this event, check out their website for more information. I’ve included the link below the credits, but taken from their site, it’s a place that “brings people together through their love of song and art – breaking down barriers and providing a haven for music genres like indie, alternative, rock, electronic dance music and hiphop.”

There is shopping as well!

Today I am featuring items by unkindness at the event.  The in tuned benches come in two version, with or without a blanket and include single m/f animations and couple ones as well.  There are four colors to choose from.

I’m also featuring the star fairy hanging by 7mad:Ravens, which is currently available at The Project Se7en event.  It’s been ongoing since June 30th and ends at the end of the month.  There are other sets available at the event as well.

Have a great Friday!

Vacancies at the Florida Motel

If you didn’t get your fill of summer things at Summer Tropical Fair that just ended then it’s a good thing as Summerfest ’16 just started today. It’s back for the 4th year to bring us some more hot summer fun shopping from June 18th through July 10th.

BoOgErS is participating again this year with some cute decor and wearable pizza and rainbow kites.  Just the perfect thing to entertain the little ones outside and wear them out for bedtime.  One of the releases by Seven Emporium at the event is this flashing Florida Motel Sign.  It feels like I never left home.  Chuckles.

If you’re the sporty water type then there is these sup boards by Balaclava, which gives you the choice to chill out with two relaxing sits and a laying animation or you can yoga with six different poses.  If that’s not enough then how about paddling away on water with the paddle that comes included to paddle on water.  Several colors to choose from.

For calmer waters Jammin has this old wooden rowboat with oars, with two seating positions that have four assorted poses. If you want a bit of refreshment for the blasting sun make sure you pick up this cute drinking rafts by  RC Cluster that holds a drink.

The beach chime tree is by unKindness available currently at this round of The Chapter Four, which ends in a couple of days.  You have just enough time to get them at 50% during the event.  The log side table is by Industry 7, a new brand from the same creator of 7mad;Ravens and affiliated with unKindness.   The complete set is an additional log table and some candles, which are not shown.

I’ve previously blogged these items, but I’m also showing one of the rare beach corgis by Jian currently at the arcade and the tropical palm trees by [Noble Creations] available now at Cosmopolitan.

Now moving on to what I’m wearing.  The bikini top and briefs are from Mimikri, one of my frequented stores when I first started Second Life.  I’m happily rediscovering it again.  The bikinis are available in several colors at On9.

Lastly, the pose I’m on is another one from the set Ella by Amitie, also available currently at On9.

Oh I keep forgetting to mention this. In honor of Second Life’s birthday there are several events where you can find participating designers giving out a piece of cake containing a gift.  One of those events is Hairology.  The last few posts in both my blogs are featuring hairs that were gifts.

Enjoy the rest of your Saturday!!
