Magic of Oz Hunt – coz Dove Said So

Unlike the usual sitting still kind of objects, these items are being controlled by the Wicked Witch of the (insert direction here). She is very very evil and she only drops them to tease you with , and then before you know it WOOOOOSH they be gone to tempt some other soul. But we know the ways of the Hunt don’t we, yup yup , you have to be quick on the draw and focus like its the last shoe you will ever see, that’s because if you blink that Ruby Slipper is going to bounce away from your grasp.

But is the focus worth it, Yes my pretties it really is, ‘why?” you ask , well its because DOVE SAID SO , sheesh could there BE any other reason :P.

Actually there be lots, the wonderful Owners of Magic of Oz have gathered all their munchkins together to collect a virtual swarm of lovelies, and I myself have already gotten two , and one is the divine *TSM* CRYSTALINE-FORTRESS from Stringers Mausoleum, which in hair language means Emerald Crystal MoHawke, its FABULOUS!.

I’m sure there is a list of Pretties somewhere but who cares, the idea is to have fun, meet some new people – tell me when there has ever been a hunt you haven’t had a random chat with a really nice person – and visit this fantastic Sim.

Magic of OZ Do ittttttttttttttttttttttttt, coz Dove said so 😛

Oh My ! – Popfuzz

Oh goodness where to start with this post, there is so much yummy, it’s fabulastical. First off with some clothes, which means I am going backwards, and a bit sideways actually,but that works. Popfuzz Bamboo recently had a rezday it seems, one I knew nothing about, and just like her I am sure it was kept very quiet.

For this event she made this beautiful Ruffle Dress, in a multitude of colours, there are colours to suit everyones tastes, and the style is so adorable, its kind of a new take on a 20’s classic flapper style, I just love it. The ruffles come in two parts, top and bottom , so allot easier on the body, and the strapless look makes a wonderful clean space for some exceptional jewelry.

A perfect style to compliment the New-Vintage look from Popfuzz Designs, is this Deadly Lullaby Necklace from Canimal, again a New take on an old style , with the Cameo necklace with a skully/bow twist. In keeping with her recent releases all the various parts to this stunner are click to change, so you can either go all one colour on the Skull background, the Cameo surroundings, the stars and the bows, or change them up and be even more girly girl. As dark as it seems with the skulls I just think its precious, so definitely check it out.

Now on the Precious meter ranking high high high , is the New styles from Here Comes Trouble (HCT), Trina – in the green Ruffle Dress – is like pinning your hair back when wet, scrunching with your hair product of choice, and it just drying in that kind of kinky wavey look that I love. On the left is Kassina which is a total knockout in the Bombshell kind of look, those upturned curls are awesome, in the middle with pinned bangs and a touch shorter is the Bridge style, which with the pins could go from casual to glamour so easily.  Babyboo is new to sculpties and what she has been making is just fantastic.

Glamour is what we will talk about in a sec, but down to my feet now to show off the delightful Digital Dragon Designs shoes, in pink we have the Elaina Strapless and the Black are the Nicole Pumps, again such stunning prim/sculptie work from Digital Dragon Designs shoes. Both similar in style at the toes, and I love the lovely buckle look at the front, but differing in heel style , they both get a thumbs up for fashionable yummyness.

Popfuzz has done MORE SKINS! – does the Omg gesture in world -The NEW released only last night, Glamour Skins from Popfuzz Designs are just Scrumptious, she has made some changes to things on this skin line and the effect is just brilliant. Aside from the fact that shaved is now the only option – giggles to myself, as some will remember that Popfuzz’s first skin launch she went back and changed over 800 skins to give both, what a trooper- but this time felt that the response to and feedback she got, was this was preferable.

Plus when you are wearing them with her stunning clothing , who cares. This Bra and Panties set for one is just fantastic and was a request to her from a FE member, wanting a bra/panties set that gave you straps and strapless bra options, so totally hand drawn and so beautifully shaded, this was released. Just look at the shading done on the inside of the back of the thong, to pefectly curve against the bum cheek, YUM!.

Ok back to the Glamour skins, firstly you have both dark brows and tintable brows options on the skins, for versatility, then secondly and this is a hoot and something I didnt get a pic of – bad Sasy- but she has added a socks layer for sandals, meaning that your toes will appear tighter inwards when wearing open toed shoes, GENIUS!.

There are 9 Beautiful Tones in the skins, and 24 make-up choices, somehow I lost two in my pics, hmm wonders where they went. Also Popfuzz has done NEW Eyes, and if you know her older Eyes from Gurl 6 , you will know that not only do you get eyes on the regular texture wear option, but you also get PRIM Eyes, meaning you can have crazy fun wearing two different colours at once, or just for the fact that the regular eyes are sunk a bit deeper into the head, so these can give a more natural look.

You will see the eyes in the Make Ups pics, as I did change as I went and got funna at the end lol, as well as eyes, Popfuzz has also made Manicure and Pedicure sets, that are sold seperately and are just divine rich colours, that compliment her Make Ups in the Glamour Skins, as well as her clothes. You can see some of those in the tones pics. The stunning hair I am wearing in the tones pics is from Analog Dog and is the NEW Sedona hair , that is actually made for wearing a fab leather biker style cap, but without I just love it too, and its pulled back style make wearing it for skins perfect.

Now you can almost see it in my red pic, but lets show you the OTHER fansuperdooperwonderawesometastic feature.

I HAZ Supersized without sliding! OH MY GOODNESS. With the new skins comes an undershirt, and not just any undershirt, but a Cleavage Undershirt, and WOWZA. Now the old Popfuzz Designs Skins weren’t exactly lacking in the cleavage department, but this time that has been toned down beautifully with the new Glamour Skins, but with the added extra in the undershirt , if you want to make a noticable difference when wearing something tight and revealing this is DEFINITELY the way to go.

Showing here with the Popfuzz Tank top, which has always been one of my favs, especially with the awesome shading at the dip, so that the tank actually looks seperate from your body. I really like this as a seperate, because you consciously have to make the descision to put them out there lol.

Now for all the make-ups, make sure you check them out and grab the DEMOS asap. they are yummy.

All stunning and again the Eyes are just wonderful.

The Magic of Oz

Today is one of those days where I hate timezones etc. The long awaited Magic of Oz unveiling was tonight SLT 6pm , which was my 11am, now as that seems a perfectly reasonable time I was excited, for days and weeks and days and hours, excited to be able to return to the Magic of Oz.

But alas no, as many of you know I do weird hours, I live SL time even though my time is so far from that. So when it gets to 8-9 am my time I am usually drained and not really coherant. So deciding to take a power nap before the festivities I logged only to completely flake out and not awake until 11pm slt :(. So I am a Sad Munchkin now :((.

NOW for the UPSIDE , the Sim Magic of Oz by Candy Cerveau of Eye Candy, and Malkavyn Eldritch of Treasured Visions isn’t going anywhere. You see even though I missed what was probably a fabulous event, and one I really did want to go to, I was blessed with being invited for a sneaky with some fabulous other people a few weeks back, and what I saw and experienced is one of those times when you are ever so greatful you found Phils Place in the first place.

Straight out of the story book – lets be very clear , this sim is created after the book not the movie, and the book is fair game Malkavyn assured me- the sim is a beautiful build, creating beautiful areas for just relazing or falling asleep because of poppy plants , seriously Whimsy knows her stuff as you will see in the fantastic photos she took, as well as many others to give you a taste of the beauty that is Magic of Oz.

Flickr Group Pool HERE . The photos in the pool just show how inspiring this sim is, the Emerald City and the Witches Castle are just parts of the magnificence these two have put together, the effects you can get with different windlight settings again can be seen by the wonderful flickr submissions, and you yourself should make sure to take many happy snaps and add them to the pool.

This is going to be one of those SIms you just keep returning to and finding wonderful things you didn’t take in the first ten times , don’t you just love that ♥, I did try and go tonight and take some pics, but sculpties were showing as many facetted spheres and thats never good, but I will return soon and I hope that you all beat me there and take lots and lots of pics so I can keep enjoying the flickr pool.

Oi Oi Oi-TRUTH

Lots and lots of lovelies as TRUTH has re-opened AGAIN with a much more shopping friendly build and some yummy Newness. One of the New New YUM YUM items is SKINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNS. I have been back today 5 times already lol.

But we will get to those 😛 , firstly lets discuss colours and motifs. With the upcoming Summer for us down here, Truth has stepped into a little bit of Surf Culture in my opinion with some of his latest releases. Colours and big splashes of patterns across the new items, the first are the Hatiti Shorts– ok not exactly colourful in the Ash, but there are other bright colours to choose from.

They are a lovely shorty short in a great texture and the pattern is definitely fun featured on the front and back of one side. Wearing with them the beautiful Heart Top the plunging neckline of these are delish, as is the keyhole style back, and we all know Truth is a romantic 😛 so they are definitely adorable.

I really like that these come tucked and untucked, whether over pants/shorts or with a skirt they are neato, and the long sleeves make them that little bit dressier looking. Speaking of Adorable we come to the Mini Flats, I have them on in three colours in the pics, but there are bunches more available, in all sorts of colours that he has featured in his new clothing, so yay for matchy matchy. The stictching on these is wonderful and I adore the strap and buckle.

NEW Hair is Julie, and it’s a fab medium length style, those chunky but whispy cut bangs are just fab I hope he does lots more hair with bangs like that, his new textures are definitely worth getting your hands on if you havent tried them yet there is a colour pack demo in the store.

Not from Truth but so beautiful I have been wearing it on and off for the past two days, is the very creative Agroglyphe- Soft necklace from Bliensen + MaiTai , ok aside from the brilliant design, you get resizing aannnndddd texture change on click, and not just the metals but also the beautiful pendants, and NOT just all as one like I have done, but there are three groups, so you can make a little mix of all the different options, that gives you so many different looks in one item, YAY. There are also other pendant styles available seperately and they are all as gorgeous as this one.

If you are in a piratey mood, then the Jack Sparrow Capri’s are right up your alley. These are too cute, and caught my eye I think on the third visit, Im not joking, 5 times I went back and forth this morning lol. They also come in a number of colours, but I was so feeling the red. The cuffed bottoms have that lovely gold buckle on the side and the thin belted look at the front make you just want to be tugged on.

Wearing with the Lovely Hat/Hair and yes thats the name of it, I did tint the hat red – wonders why there is no red option huh huh huh ? -it has texture change for various cool colours though , just not red, but you can play so YAY. This is another definitely fun and casual look for the day, and again how cute do the Mini Flats and Heart top look with.

Very Rare I declare a fav in a mix- well I don’t think I do lol- but this one would have to be todays, which makes me happy and really cranky all at the same time lol. The reason for the cranky is that these ABSOLUTELY DIVINE PANTS! are no longer in his store *kicks some prims for effect*, I think some heavy duty nagging is in order, not that the poor guy hasn’t copped an earful already, mind you I have to behave , because OMG, HE LISTENED TO ME! you will know how towards the end :P.

Ok the pants I love love love, so I am hoping that many if not all of you picked them up when he had that HUGE Sale last month before he cleared it all out. The NEW Assasin Vest is just glorious, I just couldnt resist the pink , but again so many fab colours to choose from, the sleevelss somewhat shorty length is a great combo, and I love the big collar. The detailing on the texture is fabulous, and I can’t wait to see more like this, hopefully a longer sleeve long version for your winter.

The other NEW Hair is Ash and isn’t it prettyful too, the high pony is fab, and the side parted and then swept bangs are just scrumptious. If he wasn’t so lovable I’d hate this man for having so much talent- thats a big lie, I never hate anyone for that, I envy them, and am just grateful everyday they share it with us.

Hee Hee I wanted to be able to show all the tones, and this was the funnest way to do so lol. Also with a bit of Aussie Pride thrown in, in the form of the Australia Bikini from Adam n Eve, seeing as Truth hasn’t released any yet this was a fab option.

The skins ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I have been waiting patiently for these. They are the NEW Rejuvenate Skins from TRUTH and they are just Gloriously Gorgeous. They come in singles or in a four pack, and the tones are as you can see just precious. In the main photos I am wearing my tone of choice which is Kashmir but I would easily wear any of the tones as they are all beautiful.

The first range of make-ups are soft and subtle , the eyes are smokey but not overly made up, so you could easily wear any of them all the time, day or night. The shading and detailing on the bodies of the skins are just wonderful, the collarbone is gorgeous, as is the back and bum , but for some reason its the knees that keep my attention, don’t ask me why, because I have no clue, I just likey them. The brows are also lovely, they come with a brow shape as worn, and they are really nicely styled for the overall face.

Now as for the listening to me part 😛 I happened to get in Truth’s box just in time, when discussing the new skins the first question was of course ” did you make shaved ?” I know , I can’t help myself, it just is a great option to have, the more and more I change into different designers clothing and see pants get lower and lower.

So now not only do you get a landing strip option , but you also get shaved YAYYYYYYY, so on that I might have to not nag him for at least a few days on other things lol. The strip is not high, but again its just good to be safe. So get thee to TRUTH and not only grab all the yummy clothes, shoes and hair, but get to trying on the new Rejuventaion Skins, DEMO DEMO DEMO !

October

Aries: For you it’s that time of year when you need to take stock, spend the next few weeks spring cleaning, that doesn’t mean put on sloppy tshirts and baggy pants and forget to do your hair. It means, find some beautiful resort wear, pull out that favourite outdoor seating, and plan for the upcoming months.

The holidays are fast approaching and you need to plan some gifts for loved ones, start now, do your research, check out who has gifting options, transferable items, and gift cards, know in advance, make a list of who you want to gift to this year and take notes, you might even find some lovelies for yourself while you do.

Taurus: This is your month for creativity, if there is something that you have wanted to make, or collab with someone on; now is the time. You have a flare that you haven’t yet shared, be it caution or just not having the right tools, look inward first; then outward. You already have some ideas, see if they are doable, ask for advice from others, don’t be too bull headed. There are so many things awaiting you.

Gemini: Romance is in the cards for you this month, whether it be with your already partner, someone new or finding love within yourself. None of these are going to happen without some effort on your part though. It’s time to get busy, but first you need to take a leap into the unknown, dare to be different, those things you have looked at and thought you can’t do, wear, or be, YOU CAN.

Romancing you is the first step, some beautiful lingerie a new tie, treat yourself to something pretty, it will show to others that you care about yourself.

Cancer: It’s going to take some guts, and strong will this month. Money is going to be something that at the start of the month you worry about, but some shrewd planning and budgeting will see you through. Look at what you already have, make some smart choices, Classic is the key, be bold without breaking the budget, be stylish by incorporating what you already have with some new pieces, its a mix and match month for you.

Leo: Be silent, Be still. You are going to have a tendency to be over dramatic this month, be careful of that socially, but use it fashion wise. Find a place you can have time to yourself, and piece together some exciting looks.

Check out catalogues, images, photos and piece together something that at first you wouldn’t dare wear and then do it. Also take some pics, whether you already have or start up Flickr/Snapzilla , using the drama positively and creatively , let out your lion/ess and Roar.

Virgo: You may be feeling out of sorts this month, it might be time for you to consider a change, not permanently- unless of course you love it. Indulge your body, do some shape experimentation, try on some other skins, if for nothing more than seeing yourself in a different light.

With the change in weather your hair might need a lift, if you tend to stick to one colour , lighten or darked it by a shade or two. When doing any changes to shapes, always ‘Save As’ and name it your name and a number, that way you can always go back to the shape you have on before the change.

Libra: Your month to shine, this month is about you, host an event, join others, be that social butterfly you can be. A host/ess should not try and outshine their guests with over the top outfits, reconsider those latest releases for another time and go back to some much loved stores and revisit some past releases. There are tonnes of items out there that you had no need for at the time, but now they are just perfect for your needs.

Scorpio: You have too much on your plate, scrape some off. Being pulled in different directions can be hard on the body and mind, take off a weekend this month and treat yourself to some time out, get that new manicure/pedicure you have been wanting, get some new swimwear and those fabulous sunglasses you have been dieing for, and spend the day at the beach or beside the pool or garden. Later in the afternoon when you are feeling refreshed, invite a few choice friends and just chillax; make the invitation drama free, but let them know you are there to listen if they need to talk.

Sagittarius: Outdoors is what you need the most of this month. Exploration is key, and by exploring I mean walking, ask some friends if they have LM’s to some favourite places, search out some destinations that are built around the natural formations of their sim. You are going to need some fabulously comfy shoes for this and some light clothing. Plan some outtings with others, where you spend the day really seeing whats out there.
Remember to make a notecard and save landmarks to it, with some notes on why you liked the destination, share this with others; and save it for your next day out.

Capricorn: Do you feel lucky, well do you?. You should, this is a lucky month for you, be it chairs, or just being in the right place at the right time, make sure you are prepared for the unexpected. Smart casual will see you well this month, making sure that whatever pops up you look good doing it, plan your looks with some extra options , if you are already dressed and get a sudden invite to something a bit more dressy be prepared to add some accessories, a strand of beads, a cute bag, changing to dressier shoes, plan for those occurances.

Aquarius: Just say no!, plan ahead with some cute thankyou but no thankyou cards, you can make your own for a more personal approach. This is not about insulting anyone or saying no to everything, but realising you can’t go to everything just because the invite is extended. Prioritise and this month your priority has to be you. It’s time to get your house in order.

Be it an actual house or just fixing that bulging inventory, it will take some work but you are worth it, if working on inventory, treating yourself to a new romper suit or boardies is the go, have it left out to change back into with the click of a folder, in between trying on things you need to put away.

Pisces: Cook up some fun this month, be it a fondu set you want to show off , or just a campfire with toasted marshmallows. Some see kitchens as silly in a virtual world, but you know that they are the soul of a home. You don’t have to have all the appliances to have that feeling, but some searching of BBQ’s or self serving food platters might be exactly what you need to feed your friends, a nice bottle of wine, some cheese and good conversation with great company is definitely in the cards.

Also check out some games, a great way to keep things flowing is with games you can all play, they dont have to be bought, something like Truth or Dare could be a riot in Phils Place, just be safe and respectful of others while doing so.

** These monthly starsign thingies are made up by myself, interpreted by my reading of the month ahead, only to be taken as fun but hopefully something you find intuitive for you this coming month.**

Passion

Today is the last day of the Passions of Black Swan event, and also a sad day as the dawning of the end of some of the beautiful Vivant skins by Fleur.To show you a bit of both, I have opted for the stunningly beautiful Trinity Gown in blood and black by Kouse Singh of Kouse’s Sanctum.

The Trinity Gown is just stunning, with its three skirts and beautifuly detailed bodice, I especially love the laced up riboning on the back of these gowns.

I think that both colours are just stunning, and whether it be to dress in theme for an event or RP, or to just feel incredibly beautiful these gowns will be a great start. Passions of Black Swan the first and this most recent have both been wonderful events, bringing incredibly talented people together to share their skills with a shared theme. The final show will be held at 2pm today so make sure if you haven’t been yet you get there and see the Trinity and many other wonderful pieces shown by the talented models of Timeless Modeling Agency. Passions of Black Swan can be found HERE .

Also do not delay, the retiring of the Vivant skins is nearly here *SOBS LOUDLY* even though I have them, I am so sad to see them going, there are many skins that will be retired, and for now until then they will be 50% off so thats a huge saving, and some incredibly beautiful skins for such a fantastic price, missing out on this chance to pick up such stunning makeup is something you don’t want. Even if it’s not a skin you want to wear every day, at the price it would be a marvelous theme skin for you, especially ones like the Pin Up skin, and this divine Lalique skin that I am wearing today, the shadow and lipsticks on this skin are just wonderful so get thee to Fleur NOW!.

The lovely and very popular Madison hair is from Analog Dog, the long style with incredible tight curls is just fabulous.
