Plod has officially closed. I've had such fun with all the wonderful creations, the HUD hunts, the beautiful sim. I only regret I didn't buy more from Gena Khandr. It's a rare thing to discover a creator/designer who makes you smile.
She left the Plod group with this wearable (and a rezzable) replica of her store and some of her fantastic items. 254 prims, so I'll be wearing mine as I play with my llama and squirrels, while wearing my phone belt and painting in the sky with my paintbrush as I jump up and down on our trampoline. And how can I forget the acorn "porch" around my neck, spreading acorns wherever I go. Ooh, and the "fly" pan, tossing sunnyside up eggs into the air...sigh.

Here's Milani showing us her Rockberry skin (#155), Poetic eyes (#11b), and the boy's hair from W&Y (#215).
Too much to blog about! I'll have to get organized now.

New Lucky Chair Finds

Poker Table and Chairs from Plod

2009-03-24T07:33:00.000-07:00

Go to the mainstore on Plod and grab a HUD. Then walk all over the sim to find 10 playing cards. As you click them, your HUD will fill up. When you're finished, go click the big playing card on the dock, then the Get Me on your HUD. You will have a table, chairs, cards, squirrels and lots of fun. (Not a real game, just a great set for your home). The chairs have several poses in them.

2009-03-20T09:55:00.000-07:00

Psychotic Neko has a little hunt, and this is the offering in Katat0nik's store, the Rina dress in sea foam. Look for little eggs inside stores that have a bunny girl poster on them. Other gifts include Neko tails and accessories.

I am also wearing ETD boots, a shrug from Silent Sparrow that was a bonus gift with the purchase of another shrug at regular price, and stockings from -corduroy-, an old gift. I love this color, if you can't tell. Hair is Hug Me 02 from ::69::, and my skin is a previous Bebae gift, Belina.

2009-02-16T17:14:00.001-08:00

All of the items in this post come from two places that have not received a lot of exposure, Crush Row and Runway Fashion Week at Bryant Park. Rather than itemize each of them, I leave it to readers to go get them, asap.

All of the Runway fashions are in the main hall in designer's booths, and you can get Zullay skins, Opium waist scarves, SWA tanks and miniskirts, black and white outfit I love from Kungler's, plus dresses and jewelry. Get the schedule of fashion shows on the main blog before you go.

Crush Row is easy as always, and generous as always. Look for hearts outside and inside the stores. Hair from Aoharu, great pink jeans from AXEL, and wonderful presents from +plus, Malt, Whimsy, etc etc.

The Black Canary

2009-02-07T05:28:00.000-08:00

New from Morrigan Denimore, owner of The Black Canary, is this gorgeous Divine Right suite, L$350. The moment I took a step I was immediately enchanted. The multi-layered ruffles on this skirt move with more realism than I have seen in any other outfit. It bounces and sways with just the right movement and I can almost hear the satin crackle and swish. Once again, our designer has mastered the lace textures. I had a short conversation with Morrigan and learned that all the skirts are scripted for sitting with just a click of the mouse. Heaven!
Divine Right has it's own fur-lined crown, which is Vain gift #242 mentioned here.
I'm also wearing La Sylphide's black and white skin, previously free, and Courtisane heels, not free. Hair is a gift from Deviant Kitties.
The Black Canary has a lucky chair with amazing dresses and coats, and if you're even luckier, you will find Morrigan seated in the sitting room, serving tea to the ladies.

<3 Cupcakes Group Gift

No friends, no dates, no nothing

2009-01-24T20:02:00.000-08:00

Fidella gets a little creepy, but cute

2009-01-24T18:22:00.000-08:00

I've always been a bit puzzled by the whole neko thing in SL. Most people don't appear cat-like at all. They wear beautiful skins, great clothes and boots, usually with legwarmers, then slap on some ears and a tail and think they look like kittehs. They don't. They look like people with costume ears and tails, rather like Playboy bunnies. For me, neko is a distinct cat look, a mythical or storybook human-feline. Granted, there are some really wonderful kitty parts that are fun to wear, Atomic Kitty being one of our favorites. But they are just that, parts.
So, I camped at De La Fae Productions for an hour to get this insanely beautiful Snow Leopard ensemble - skin, shape, ears with color-change piercings, twitchy tail, color-change scripted claws, and proper hind legs. I think I freaked Milani out a bit, but this is me as cat.

Of course, Fidella the feline must wear proper neko clothes, so she sports Katat0nik's Heart Plaid Skirt, fatpack for L$25. This is a scripted skirt and you can color both the upper and inner skirts separately for an infinite combination of colors. Vest is from silent sparrow, blogged here, and blouse and jabot are part of the Porcelain Prince ensemble in The Black Canary lucky chair. Hair is an Aden group gift and comes in all colors, worn with or without separate braid.

Katat0nik Lucky Chair

2009-01-23T05:27:00.000-08:00

Three cute Valentine dresses in various shades of pink await you in Kat's Lucky Chair. Lots of people waiting, so there's a fast turnover now.

Still a danger on the road

2009-01-22T14:56:00.000-08:00

I'll try again on Friday. I don't know why I'm torturing myself like this.

Fishing at silent sparrow

2009-01-20T19:20:00.000-08:00

Look what hya has put into the silent sparrow 7 Seas fishing hole. This is just one of the available vests, with it's fish and starfish texture.

And here's the azure. There are 4 vests, several fishie swimmy toys, 6 exquisite bikini ensembles, and a hard-to-get but much desired possum.

Bubbles the Goldfish

2009-01-19T20:56:00.001-08:00

Damien over at Loco Pocos created this new avatar as a prize for top winner in his 7 Seas fishing contests on Loco Poco Island. Beyond cute! I think I am the 4th person to have one of these babies. So get on down there and fish, kids. Fishing tournaments every day. And a nice pot of cash to go along with your new Bubbles avatar. At the landing point you will find a swirling gateway to take you to the hidden fishing hole.

Monday Goodness

2009-01-19T06:06:00.000-08:00

How fun to finallly find a Midnight Mania gift that we really will wear. These great boots from Dilly Dolls were waiting for me when I logged in. The size, color AND texture are all menu-driven, so I've got myself about a zillion pairs of boots. UPDATE: the Midnight Mania board is locked down for Monday. Try again tomorrow!

Next, the lovely Takako #8 skin from Lazolli that we've seen on most of the blogs. It's really a lovely skin, and I do like the mouth and blush, although it almost verges on too young a look for me personally. Still, it's a keeper. The little chicken flapping her wings on my shoulder is a group gift from ::plod::information.

The Third Pea Stops Rolling

2009-01-18T17:52:00.000-08:00

The world has ended apparently, and I missed it because I was watching the concert at the Lincoln Memorial on HBO. We only hope our stuff is there when we get back. Stuff matters!

Sky Rafting

2009-01-16T06:56:00.000-08:00

Everyone needs a personal sky raft like this one. It's worn, so you can take it with you wherever you go. Free from the Grimalkin Workshop, but not for long, so hurry.

Loco Pocos 7 Seas Fishing

2009-01-15T16:56:00.000-08:00

Now is your chance to catch some great custom items, like complete Loco Pocos avatars, and miniature avatars that swim around you. Head to Loco Pocos Island and drop down to the base of the tree to look for the hidden entrance to the fishing hole. There's even a free fishing stick!
If you haven't fished before, you really have to try it. You will find a vendor with poles and buckets of bait at any 7 Seas fishing area. If you already have a Loco Poco avatar, there's a new line of clothes for fishers, as well as hats and fancy schmancy fishing poles.

Kaleidescopium

Egg and Bacon Sandwich Bed

2009-01-12T18:43:00.000-08:00

These are the things I live for in Second Life. Where else could we have a sunnyside egg and bacon and bread with 4 poses? And bacon is always good, right? Just go to Off Brand Furniture, put the store in your picks, and in a day or so, this could be yours! And you can also get a watermelon tub for 4 very close friends. The stack of pancakes comes from Hanauta, a group gift. Hanauta has some really quirky items, a fun store to visit.
