Adios!

Hi guys. I am putting down my blogging pen for now. 

Thanks Yves for giving me the opportunity

to blog here and thank you readers for your interest and IMs. 

I would also like to express my appreciation of the creativity 

and generosity of SL designers who keep it fun and fresh 

week after week. And finally, a tip o' the hat to fellow bloggers

 for the pictures and the news. See you around the grid!

Cheers

Sweater: Ronsem  Group Gift in group notices for 14 days from Jan 27.

Pants: ::K::  "demo" marketplace

Sneakers: [dirty. little. secret] Gift

O::K::

These colourful skinny pants from ::K:: are hanging on the rack as a 'demo". 

Yes I am wearing the Urban Swag hoodie everyone  has blogged this week.

But I cleverly switched it up and layered a track jacket underneath.

The jacket was a gift at Magi Take. Unfortunately this one seems 

to be gone and there is a purple one there now. 

Which, with this outfit might be a bit on the clownish side, 

not that there's anything wrong with that!

There's a great show going on at Yoshikaze called "Topophonia". 

It features four of SL's most accomplished and interesting artists

 and the theme is sound.  At Maya Paris's build you are provided

 with a costume and props to immerse yourself and

 enjoy "Bank Job"!

The wall vendor contains the necklace and other goods.

Four Walls of Nature

The Four Walls hunt has lots of home goodies
with awesome texturing and detailing.

I haven't gotten too far on the I Love Nature Hunt 

but once again the threesome at DD, SS and ZUFs  

comes through with this great Pan outfit. 

That creepy shadow is annoying though. 

Following me everywhere.

But I do feel younger.

All  items in the Four Walls hunt are 20L.

Moonshine Still and hooch jug: 

Check the profile picks of Arcadia Asylum, an SL legend. 

Although she is long gone from SL 

her influence continues to this day due to her

 incredible talents and belief in

 sharing her work  full perm and free. 

Her legacy of buildings and objects has taught

 and inspired hundreds if not thousands of Sl creators.  

Cold Winter Nights

The Cold Winter Nights Hunt has lots of excellent little buildings

 to keep you warm. This rustic shed from Post definitely conveys 

an "up in the snowy mountains"atmosphere.

The bench is not included, it's a past hunt gift also from Post. 

While you are there check out all the free doodads placed 

throughout the store, click on everything, some of it will come up 0L.

If you consider yourself a stylish hermit, you must check out this skybox from Vespertine. 

The mortar job on the cinder blocks looks totally DIY. 

The wood frame looks like it was salvaged too.

Great textures and a basic box gets tres chic. 

Finally, what would winter be without an ice fishing trip? 

The" Grumpy Old Men" cabin awaits you. 

There's bunk beds, a wood burning stove and 

the folks at Prism Furniture even hung some curtains!

 I'm keeping toasty warm in the sweater gift from Epicosity. 

Giant "Bugeye" glasses to keep down the snow glare 

are a group gift from Maubray.

All hunt items are 10L

Spice

I put this together from a variety of great group gifts. 

Terrific texture on the pants from Egoisme offers a nice 

contrast to the smooth "jazz" jacket from Ydea.
I used an alpha from another jacket (ALB) since the
Ydea alpha was for a mesh shirt as well.
