Trilogy Station

Arrived at the Trilogy station today. It was a long train ride involving 6 stops, a man in a gorilla suit, and a juggler who kept dropping the swords.  Such is the story of my life, though.  All I wanted was a nice cup of coffee.  Trilogy is a wonderful little rainy shopping district with cute shops and a wonderful atmosphere.

I was lucky yesterday while clothing shopping and scored this cute little outfit from Cupcakes in their lucky chair.  The black and white check shoes are from Duh! in the Shoes and Accessories Hunt.  Wearing new shoes, especially cute ones like this make up for almost getting sliced in two on the subway.  Crazy jugglers.

Vive9 has just released the new Marianne skins with the cute little buck teeth.  She has a "beta" set available if you want to try before you buy.  That's what I'm wearing here.  The skin has sort of a wide eyed look with a little Britney Spears nose.  I think it's cute, but unfortunately, so did the guy in the gorilla suit.  Yeek!  Oh, and the hair is a new release from I Love Olive!  I love hair with bangs.

So, I'll wait here for my friends - that's not my smoke - someone left it just burning in the ashtray.  *sheesh*  I'm not gonna touch it.

Blogger Challenge - Favorite Freebies

This one is a few days late, but I wanted to post my favorite freebies of 2009 - Sileny's Blogger Challenge.

These are the things I had the most fun with, after all, isn't that what SL is all about?

From the Twisted Hunt Fall '09, the Bloody Piano from ::Gehenna:: - it is one of my favorite items in my inventory, and I can sit and play it for hours while staring at the bloody knife thinking evil thoughts.

The Witches Kitchen from the amazingly cool Shanistic Zenovka of Claw'd (also from the Twisted Hunt)- I had SO much fun cooking my friends in this kitchen!  There's nothing better than friends for dinner!

And, of course who could forget the exclusive Callie Cline hair - a gift to the bloggers during the summer!  I can't remember when I laughed as hard as I did when I first put this on!

Thank you, designers, for making me laugh, for sharing your creative talents, and for making SL such an amazing place.

Blogger's Challenge - Three Things

Three things in my inventory that I couldn't part with:

They are my three defaults and probably the three things I've worn more than anything else in my inventory:

Skin - LF Chai Sugar - Crush Freckle

Jewelry - Violet Voltaire - Glitterati Necklace and Earrings

Boots - Animas Design - AD Lady Biker Boot

I don't think the skin is available anymore, but Launa Fauna has some beautiful new skins out.  Her skins were some of the first ones I bought, and they are always the skins I go back to.  I absolutely love the freckles (something I've always wished I had in RL). Violet Voltaire makes wonderful jewelry.  I saw the necklace while doing the Twisted Hunt back in the spring.  I returned to her shop months later and bought the necklace and earrings set.  It's texture change and the cameo can either be a skull, a rose, or a crown.  I'm not a stiletto type girl in RL or in SL.  I much prefer my chucks or biker boots.  Even though heels don't hurt avatar feet, I still cringe at the idea of wearing them.  So, I clomp around SL wearing boots with dresses, jeans and leggings, just like I do in RL.

Other things in the photo:

Outfit - Mischief - **MIS** Hipsters n Leggings (Skipping Stone Hunt)

Hair - Analog Dog - Bet Jet

Tuesday, December 15th is the last day to purchase Circle of 30 items to support our fight against domestic violence.  Here are some of the wonderful items you can pick up.

This is the lovely writing desk from Hello Avatard and the comfy top from Pig.  The writing desk comes with a pen and a writing pose.  The top comes in two styles - a short cropped look and this longer style. I'm wearing Blossom's Shapes "slave girl" shape in all the photos.

This purple t-shirt and collar are from Dreams.  Sanura Snowpaw also made a light purple version of these items.

Again, T-shirt and collar from Dreams

The umbrella is from Weather! or Not? and poofs little feathers, the Jewelry is from Secrets of Gaia - two arm bands, a necklace, and a belt, and the dress and shoes are from A Netherworld.  The dress also comes with a baby doll skirt option.

Finally, the "Real Men Don't Hit" t-shirt is from Alexohol and the facial piercings are from Virtual Insanity

Other items not blogged can be previewed in A Netherworld's blog.  All of these items are super cute and cost 100L or less.  All proceeds go directly to help victims of domestic violence.
