Tokyo 3.1: Guardians Sakura and Momiji

(click to enlarge)

STORYLINE: Given enough time diverse things merge and combine. This was true too in Tokyo 2085. While huge chunks of the city had joined the global cyber collective, some parts of Tokyo were ageless. One small section close to the water even had real living sakura trees. This was her favorite place. Guardian Sakura defended it ferociously. Somethings were worth dying for.

Originally I had the idea of doing a tough-as-nails woman warrior, but my idea took a turn toward a combination of hard and soft, past and future, east and west, after I won the watermelon colored falls. lol. The Rebellious armor outfit by Dark Prophet Designs is a wonderfully crafted mesh with pieces that can be added or subtracted. Included is a hood with 2 styles of tattoo to shade the face and make you look mysterious. Nice touch! It's on sale 25% off at We Love Role Play until August 31st. The soft elements are by Barerose. The Otoko Ohka package also includes hair, kimono and shoes. The Codie falls by Discord Designs is available in gacha at the 24 Event until August 31st. This beautiful skin by Koola is a current group gift. I love the eyeliner and freckles. The Amidala makeup by Avea adds a nice geisha touch. The dewy Jaded eyes by Poetic Colors match the green falls end nicely. For the pose, I used both katanas in the Fantasy Ninja pose by F*ckingNinjas. Picture is taken at the new sim by :Sey, Tokyo 3.1.

STORYLINE: "Tree Hugger!" He was five years old when he saw a rock thrown at his older sister by a bitter wheelchair-bound man. He was horrified when blood trickled down her face. He immediately charged at the nasty coot, but Sakura blocked him. "The person who is hurting here is not me." She pointed to the man's legs. There was a severe infection where his cybernetic limbs met his upper thigh. "Rejection," she whispered. He swore he would never accept implants after that day. But not all of his childhood memories were bad. He got to see the Walled Forest before it was destroyed. Remembering the beauty of leaves turned to amber, orange and red was all the motive he needed to follow into his sister's footsteps. Poachers and vandals would soon be overwhelmed by the fury of Guardian Momiji.

Continuing in the Tokyo 3.1 series, this one shows the new clothing for guys from Fatewear with leather materials. The pants are Brad, and the Jacket is Logan with an open or closed jacket. You can wear the included shirt under the open jacket, or go without. I showed you guys the Materials katana from Barerose that is in the Marketplace. This purple version you can get for free in the freebies section of Barerose. The samurai elements come from the Barerose outfit Komaoh Maru which also includes mesh chest armor and pants. I am wearing Kooqla's River Silver. The Tangerine version is currently a free group gift, it cost only 10L to join. I recommend joining and stay joined. The boots are rigged cyber badness by Mono:Krome. Love. These skins are awesome.   The hair is cool purple color with a top braid by Discord Designs. In this makeup by ni.Ju, I'm looking like the Visual Kei twin from the Kaulitz clan. (Well, when not making a frowny face anyway. lol) It's freebie at RMK Gothic.

World Goth Fair: Cursed

(click to enlarge)

STORYLINE:  Little Red Hood was a happy girl who she loved to cook. She experimented with new spices and exotic vegetables to her grandmother's delight. Tuesday night was their special time together. Little Red Hood looked forward to their meeting all week. She was especially proud of her newest creation, it was so delicious! She was skipping and humming a happy tune when tragedy struck.

Happy World Goth Day gang! Woohoo! For details on where to go and what to do for World Goth Day, scroll down to the bottom on the post. While you are listening to some inspired gothic tunes, I will tell you a little more about the image above. I wear a fantastic free mesh bat demon avatar from the BareRose raffle. Fulli is wearing the Little Red Riding Hood by RokumeikaN. This outfit comes with a picnic basket, fruits, detachable hood, cape, collar, and apron.  You can add the apples and strawberries to the apron and it triggers a hold pose. It's adorable. All proceeds from the sale of Little Red Riding Hood at World Goth Fair go to the Sophie Lancaster Foundation.

On Him, Deathhead Hunter:
Avatar: Barerose Bat Demon (raffle) [mesh] (free)

Location: Insilico Hydroponic Gardens

(click to enlarge)

STORYLINE: Most people believe the Deathheads Hunters are noble warriors tirelessly protecting humans from Darks. But what they don't realize is Deathheads themselves are Dark. They turned their passion for the hunt into hunting any of their own kind that don't follow their political agenda. So whether you like it or not, guilty or newly turned, if you are Dark they will pluck you away from your friends and family, never to be seen again. ... Little Red Hood desperately pleaded her innocence to Kaiser Kruel, the leader of the Deathheads. She tried to keep the Deathhead moths from landing on her, but it was too late. Kaiser scoffed, "There is no such thing as a spontaneous case of Dark. Dark you are, and dark you will stay. Welcome to Cursed."

Ha ha fun! Little Red is now Little Black! The basket now has bones, a skull, brains, and other toxic looking things. I love it! So twisted. As for my outfit, I am wearing the Bliensen + MaiTai Deathhead moths. My evil vamp eyes are from Avatar Bizarre. The exaggerated hallow cheeks and pursed lips are by Pin Me Down. The hair I got during the Truth sale. Truth has moved to new location and the store looks very nice. New link below. This great mesh fur coat is so much fun. It's at Curio Obscura gacha sale, and the cigarette holder is also on sale at The Seashole, but hurry, the store is closing. You can't see them too well in this picture, but I wearing cat claw rings by Glitz. They look cool with the cigarette holder animation. Evil Bossman is styling in new skin Nathan tone 9 by Tabeau Vivant. The mesh suit is by Barerose and it allows for tinting which is how I got nice smokey browns. *blows clove cigarette smoke at you* lol

Fox Hunt Rivalry 2

(click to enlarge)

This Fox Hunt is a game of hide and seek. The winner is the person who tags the fox first. We were running hard on the fox's trail, when a shoe became loose on my horse Artemis. We had made an emergency stop at the blacksmith. Suddenly a snake slithered up and spooked her. She reared up and screamed, hooves flying. Luckily, I was not on her at the time, that could have hurt if I was thrown! After Artemis calmed down, we rejoined the fox hunt. The fox was a wily one. I found it hiding on the roof of the horse stables. We gave chase and finally "tagged" it. I hung the trophy in Artemis' stall. There was a very pretty lady in a purple dress waiting for me there. She invited me to have tea with her. It was a grand day!

This picture series was inspired by the Fox Hunt at the new sim Helping Hoof-Virtual Equine Therapy (or HHVET). The fox hunt was a lot of fun. I really got into creating the look! There are some great fashion possibilites for men in the Equestrian style. The Tableau Vivant Boot Pants were a perfect match. I am so happy to finally have an elegant styled pant that works with a tall boot. From Hoorenbeek, the Riding Boots are a must, and the Velvet Blazer reminds me of an Oxford schoolboy. BlakOpal provides the shirt, ascot, and vest. BlakOpal also has 2 more excellent free Victorian style outfits for men: Hawkesworth Outfit - Brown and Hawkesworth Outfit - Black. The Hunting Whip finishes off the look. It's awesome and authentic.

It was love at first sight.

Time for a gothic romance with a twist! I've been very inspired by Twisted Hunt and these awesome Elegant Gothic Aristocrat and Elegant Gothic Lolita outfits from RokumeikaN. The story will be posted in three parts with six images. Pictured above is the lovely Doll of Darkness outfit available in the store. You can get the matching men's Twisted hunt prize at RokumeikaN, and don't forget to grab the group gift male shape for the total EGA experience, (you can edit the face however you wish). Next hop over to Likka House next door for the Twisted prize there and a link to the Likka Twisted Mini Hunt below the castle. You must wear a Hud and find all the boxes to get the final prize. It's a lot of fun. Take a buddy with you, or make friends with other hunters as you slosh through the sewer maze. For more info on the Twisted hunt, go to: TwistedHunt.com
