If you missed it....

If you happened to miss Spirit's grand opening you might want to go by the store and check out the awesome new build and grab the $1 boxes from the hunt that went on during their opening. There's a really nice tux for the guys to- a gray one with excellent textures! There's also a dress/tutu set named "SPIRIT Nutcracker Ballet, Clara's Party Dress Set" for $1. I'm not sure if this was out at the opening, because boy did I miss it. And look how super cute it is:

Spirit _ Clara_s Party Dress Set - Scripted Tutu
(modeled here with $1 berri hair from Truth and
Masquerade skin from Symphony $0- this was from the grand opening yesterday so hurry!)

The above tutu was scripted with the super cute pose. The set also contains a non-scripted tutu. ;) As you can see in the above picture the skirt and prim sleeve pieces are a little bright. For the following picture I show the pieces tinted with the default lightest shade of gray to match the top. This is purely preference and since I prefer for the prim pieces to more closely match the top I chose to tint my prim pieces when I can. -But of course this is my preference and you do not have to tint, contrasting pieces are nice to. I've been asked several times how I get my skirts & prim pieces to match and this is why I try to include this tip when applicable.-

Spirit _ Clara_s Party Dress Set - Dress
(Here I'm wearing the $1 Elanor hair from Hair Solutions and in this and
the above picture I'm wearing the Gemstone eyes from Inspired $1)

On a side note *IF* you guys are free around 2 p.m. SL time I'll be walking in a show for Second Mirage Jewelry please feel free to come by and enjoy the show. =)))))

The Sun Fairy

Fancy Fairy has put out an incredible bargain The Sun Fairy ($1):

Sun Fairy -2

The Sun Fairy includes dress, wings, shape, and skin. I added the $1 Eleanor hair from Hair Solutions and Gemstone eyes ($1) from Inspire.

And beacause I can.... here's a heavily photoshopped version that I'm wearing the new $1 hair from Frangipani's in.

Swamp Thang

My friend Grafix shared the location of this cool unisex costume with me today - Muddy by Niamh ($0) can be found at Free Speerit....

swamp thang-1

It's a really cool avatar that leaves little muddy footprints trailing around behind you. Here's a better look at the avatar...

Muddy by Niamh
I'm modeling it with the Jezbel $1 skin from Soda and eyes ($0) from Talisman.

Think this is what *real* mud wrestlers would land up looking like?

The Free Fandom Project

Wow, way back at the beginning of January Imp Merlin told me to check out Lippert 160, 111, 171. In Lippert you'll find one of the places where you can obtain a number of the Free Fandom Project avatars and accessories based on characters from movies, television shows, and books. I took a picture of a very small selection of the outfits I found at the original Lippert coordinates and another distribution center at the Boxed Heroes Main Shop. The article written in the Second Life Herald about the Free Fandom Project listed additional distribution sites if you scroll to the very bottom of their piece. (All $0)

The Free Fandom Project

The Hermine Granger outfit did not include hair so I used the freebie ($1) Lily hair from ETD. I also added hair and shoes to the Galaxy Quest outfit: hair- Lisa II (sale ends tomorrow! $25) ETD and shoes- Plum Diamante Platform Shoe by Chrissy Ambrose were part of a discontinued freebie that was available at Phat Cat's Jazzy Blue Lounge.

So if you haven't, yet... go check out the Free Fandom Project!

Above an Indie Designer Store Dies a Big Time Talent!!!





Above the ever so beautiful indie designer boutique Nanette Lepore, died a big time talent Heath Ledger mid day yesterday as we all know by now. My heart goes out to his family for the tragedy whatever it be addiction,suicide,or just plain accidental death. But let us not forget that at the very most Heath Ledger got to live a life a billion people will only dream about all by the time he was 28. He managed to make a handful of movie hits, marry a starlet and make a baby all the while living a dream and making it happen. I don't believe most of us want to die an early death, but if we do I hope a day doesn't go by that I didn't enjoy to the fullest. RIP Heath you're in Heaven now and hopefully its the real big time more imaginable than any lifetime.
