WILD.Released: Silent Sparrow

well hello there...

yes it's me again...

I have decided that the real reason behind my decision to run the WILD.Released hunt for a whole month, is so I would have heaps of time to fart-arse around (aussie speak for procrastinate and generally waste time)... which I must say I am VERY accomplished at *puffs out chest proudly* :P

I have however, finally managed to take a piccy of this wonderful outfit from Silent Sparrow... I've worn it around SL for about two weeks, hahah (I don't like to rush things LOL). The pic that I did finally manage to get is a story in itself...

The other night I was contemplating taking some pics of this hunt prize when I randomly got an IM from Tomo; Genius behind Little Boy Blue and a fun mate who can always be depended upon for completely random stuff... example, he dials me up with FAERY! bubble wrap! you need to come and play! ... (expurgated version of what he actually said; I take artistic license cause this is my blog *shrugs*) So I tp over, play with mad cool stuffs, then somehow we got onto the topic of sushi... because bubble wrap --> Sushi, is a TOTALLY logical progression *nods*.

So off we go to the most brilliant Sushi place in SL... It's AMAZING. You sit down & grab plates of sushi stuff off the conveyor belt as it comes around, and get your mate (Tomo in this case) to be the waiter... it's one of those things that you have to see for yourself really, but the scripting and animation are just awesome :D Go HERE & catch the elevator upstairs to find the sushi bar :D

Okay, so that explains the chop sticks my avi is holding heehee aaaaaand makes a nice segue to explaining Benny, the cute little friend on my shoulder... this is Benny's story from the notecard that comes with him:

Benny is a very confused panda. You see, he's always been a little deaf, so he thinks his name is 'Bunny' and he won't hear otherwise. He does get very confused as to why grass doesn't appeal to him, and why all of the other bunnies are so much smaller and run away from him. His favourite bunnies are the black and white ones.
He has a grand time in the Spring, being able to wear his best ribbon and hide eggs. He loves the warm sun and the colours of the flowers, even if they make him sneeze. He loves chocolate, even if it doesn't agree with him, and he is pretty phobic of peeps, especially the chicks.
Won't you give this confused panda a happy home, preferably peep-free? He promises to be tidy and to share his chocolate with you if you will.

Okay, so up to this point, I was pretty much sorted, I had the outfit, the hair,the jewellery, the skin & the boots... BRILLIANT! Just had to get a good shot... when Aems; Aemilia Case - Creative genius behind Philotic Energy, drops me the Rowe Hat/Hair that features in the New Crazy Arse Hair Hunt... the colour shown isn't the one in the prize, that's HERE and is BRILLIANT.

I have been bugging Aems since forever to make more top hats with hair... her Noah style is my absolute favourite hat/hair ever! and this one I think rivals even that (bold words, I know, but check it out) :D

And lastly... The location... Catnip! where else would you go if you had the most awesome Mad Hatter-esk hat in the world?




Until next time!

Enjoy!

P.S. Apologies for the completely random punctuation in this post, actually, the whole post was fairly random, as is this post script! LMAO! so I guess the punctuation kind of suited it... oops. Anyways, if you are the one person who has opted to actually read this blog, and have found it all just a touch much, I direct your complaints to god. (cause, well, why not really? Cheaper than message bank.). Thank you :)

WILD.Released Prize Preview :D

Okay, so many of you know that I have been a long time fan of Discord Designs... have even done some work with Kalli (creative genius behind said label). Kalli has been working for ages on these awesome new textures she's launching for the WILD.Released hunt, and I love them, they're not your usual dodge & burn jobs, although yes, they can be lovely too. These are really different to what you usually see in SL, they pull the various colours our of the strands of hair just like RL hair does :D

Okay, so that's a little bit about the textures...now check the style! My RL person is much like my SL avi, we both have zero interest in primping for hours in front of a mirror, so tend to have hair that is kind of messy, and care free LOL and this style is soooooo me. Kalli has nailed the way hair falls, how it goes just a little bit flat at the center top of your head and how the tendrils of hair that didn't quite make it into the ponytail fall...LOVE it, attention to detail like that gets me every time!

I'm also showing some of the pose prop laptops made by new comer Milli Santos, Milli has been around SL for a bit, but her store No Strings Attached is a new comer to the pose making arena. I REALLY like these poses. Very natural, there are a whole selection to choose from with all the every day annoyances, hilarity and quirky humour that life with a PC will bring you :) No Strings Attached is now part of the Oubliette crew, so go check her store out! :)

I'm also showing a the bracelet from the awesome Flipside prize babydoll outfit which was blogged here by TearSong Vaughan.

Oh hai!

Yes, I know I went "pfft, I am so not a fashion blogger", but I have decided that given that I have exceptionally good taste (obviously), I should share this with my fellow shoppers :)

This outfit is not named after me... sad over site I think you'll agree? LOL But when I first saw this outfit by Silent Sparrow I decided it was a must have. I'm not a big shopper when it comes to fashion, I tend to spend my L's on gadgets, sculpts (I have a *slight* addiction there), landscaping & general fun quirky stuff.

So to get me out of my workshop it really has to catch my attention, and this did... I love the hand drawn detail that hyasynth Tiramisu puts into her designs. I'm a definite fan of hand drawn stuff.


The skin is another favourite by La Sylphide. Stephanie Misfit creates some beautiful skins, but the thing that sets her work apart for me is her very strong feminine faces... just glorious!

The hat/hair is an old favourite... Noah by Philotic Energy. This hat/hair combo is not currently available as it is having a little make over & a freshen up. It's brilliant now, so I can't wait to see what it's next incarnation will be! You can check out Aems' current styles at her new store Fusemelon.

You can get the rest of the outfit details below... thanks for reading,

Enjoy!
