Some people stay in your thoughts forever

Happy Black Friday! One of the biggest sales event days of the year.  I stopped doing that kind of craziness a few years ago.  It was more the thrill of going out with my sisters then catching any real savings and usually it was to grab some new popular toy or game for the kids in our family.  Now those kids are all grown and our desire has waned as Black Friday has really been distorted and moved more to Thursday than the actual Friday. Though if you enjoy it.. have fun and keep safe!

It’s also great we can catch some savings here in Second Life with Black Friday sales going on. Though it’s also the perfect time to get to some ongoing events while everyone is trying to get into busy sims.  Today I am featuring the new Hanover Barn by Galland Homes that is available at the Draftsman Event. It’s a good size barn with an approximate footprint of 17 meters wide by 23 meters deep.  The creator of Galland Homes writes that the barn is indicative of the large timber and stone farms found through his home state of Pennsylvania.  It’s 100% mesh with a land impact of 72 and a snow add on that is available as well.

The other home decor being featured is the odres by Sweet Kajira, which are wine skins made of leather, usually goat, that are used to contain liquids like wine or oil. These here are available at the Fantasy Gacha Carnival.  I’m also showing the tree stump with reclining raccoon by JIAN available at the main store.  It’s animated and season change texture too. The fence I’m leaning against is by Pixel Mode and at The Liaison Collaborative. It’s available as a non animated version or pg and adult as well.  The trees are by Little Branch, with the Red Bradford {trees on left and right} at Shiny Shabby and the Maple Wood {tree in middle} at the Ultra Event.  snapshot_010

Lastly, I’m am showing a new hair release by Wasabi Pills that is available at The Forest Event. Previously you could only grab this hair if you paid the membership on a monthly basis to grab all the gifts. That has changed and now you can purchase items individually. I encourage you to go to The Forest web page to read more on this exciting change.  The boots are from Fame Femme and are at The Liaison Collaborative. You can find these in eight color options and each include a hud to change the color of the socks.

Have a fabulous day and start of the weekend!

Over the next few weeks my time in-world is going to be a little limited, but I really needed to come in and do one more post for  the “In Your Shoes” event that is ongoing now  and will end on August 21st.  Please remember, that 30% of the proceeds from this will be donated to the Mexican Diabetes Association in support with the Virtual Miss Latin America organization.

Hope to see you soon again.

On Sunday I will be traveling and not sure how often or how good my internet will be to log in and blog.  This means I have from today until Sunday when I leave to be able to get in as many posts done in both blogs to show some of the great things you can find at ongoing events.

Today I am featuring a few things from all over the grid.  The first are these amazing peacocks by JIAN at Collabor88, which is celebrating their 5th birthday. It’s been only 3 days since they opened and trying to get in right now may prove to be a little difficult.  The peacocks come in a worn, rezzable or static version, plus two texture options.  Shown is the blue texture, the other is albino and all this for just $288L during the event only.

The wood bench is by Industry 7, available at the newest round of The Liaison Collaborative.  Two versions, a wood or metal and each come with 13 female/male sitting animations and 6 couple.  I need to point out that I am not using any of the sitting animations in the chair.  This is due to the fact that I needed a pose that would show off the shoes and dress a bit better and the sits in the chair are more geared to wearing pants or dresses that are straight.

On9 opened its doors on August 9th and I’m wearing this lovely striped dress by Snowpaws, a women’s fashion store that has been around a long time. You will be able to find this original mesh dress in 5 options of the stripe and non kind.

The last item being featured are the shoes. On August 14th, “In Your Shoes” will open it’s doors and Oh lala! is participating with these heels called Popy. They are white with a color bow in front and in back with a ribbon that weaves around the heel and are made to fit the Slink high feet.

Your support of this event by buying shoes will go a long way.  As 30% of the proceeds from this event will be donated to the Mexican Diabetes Association in support with Virtual Miss Latin America Organization.

Enjoy the rest of your Thursday!

Ring side ticket

“In the boxing ring of life, it’s not how hard you can hit, but rather how many times you can get hit and keep moving forward.” ~rocky

Genre 014

Over the weekend on Sunday after having dinner with family members we all enjoyed time together playing cornhole.  It’s a lawn game where players take turns throwing bags of corn at a raised board that has a hole at the far end of it. I’m not much of a sports person, but it’s always fun getting into the spirit of playing with my family.

Though playing with some of my siblings means you have to be able to handle their intended good nature teasing.  My younger brother is a big sports fanatic whose played sports since he was young.  He loved to taunt me that I took after the other side of the family when my throws didn’t quite make it.  I had to remind him that at least I wasn’t whining and crying like he did when I beat him at marbles when we were young.

Well this month Genre is back with a sports theme.  Today I’m featuring this gold trophy by Bliensen + MaiTai, which is available now at the newest round that started on May 15th and will run through June 12th. I’m showing only the 1st place trophy, but there is a 2nd and 3rd place trophies as well.

I was after boxing gloves when I played this gacha and ended up getting the mystery item, which is the boxing ring that came in handy for this post. Most of the items except the top and shorts that are from Collabor88 this month are gacha items and detailed below.

Enjoy the rest of your Tuesday!

I am wearing the black dog collar, which is another gacha item by Epia at the Arcade.

It brings a bit of a smile to my lips as it reminds me of a story and I can’t help and dedicate the wearing of it to Draco. Smirks.
