We had a fun little leather competition the other day, and I finally splurged on a set of leather chaps I’ve had my eye on for ages. With a couple of sploder wins and other things recently I thought it was a good excuse to buy them. Then of course I had to find a motorcycle sim to photograph them 🙂
Ana Markove makes some lovely things. I’ve been a group member for ages. This is a very generous gift for her group’s members. The dress is fitmesh in the standard sizings plus fitmesh versions for Maitreya and Belleza. Wonderful!
The group is L$100 to join, but you’d be hard pressed to find a quality dress like this on the marketplace for less that a couple of hundred, so it’s well worth it in my opinion.
Second Life gives you the opportunity to do things you really wouldn’t do in Real Life. I’d never get this tattoo in RL, but ohh it looks nice in SL! This is one of the first things I made in SL, and I’m still happy with it and wear it a lot with goth outfits and so forth. The tattoo is supplied on upper system clothing layers and comes with an Omega applier for most mesh bodies.
They are available at the marketplace for a guaranteed low low price. What will they mean to you? Beauty, grace, flight, freedom? Perhaps to remind you that you have someone watching over you? Or you are someone’s angel?
With more generosity from GeMyles, today I’m showing you the January group gift from them for Second Life Frees & Offers group members. The dress is in the standard mesh sizings, and here I am wearing it easily on the Lara mesh body.
GeMyles is always generous with their group gifts and Midnight Mania boards and lucky chairs. This month the have a nice gift for Maitreya Gifts, Sales, and News group members. And something like this is just what I’m after in the middle of winter to pull me out of the chill and remind me of warmer weather!
The top and jeans come on system layers and appliers for Maitreya and Omega. You need the tag, but the group is FREE to join. What are you waiting for?
Top and Jeans: Maitreya Gifts, Sales, and News group gift by GeMyles
Back to winter, here’s another wonderful little present from under the tree at Maitreya Gift, Sales & News group. This lovely pullover will certainly keep me warm all winter. It comes in six standard size fitmeshes from XXS to L and fitmesh for Maitreya and Belleza. Also included is a HUD with some texture and colour options.
This year, I tried to limit myself to advent boards that hand out presents for either the 12 days of Christmas or the 25 days leading up to it, as last year I ended up with so much stuff, I still haven’t opened some of it! I was careful to pick and choose from a few select stores, including Chop Zuey and a couple of other favourites. However, someone today reminded me that there were 25 gifts for the Maitreya Gifts, Sales & News group still available. Silly Blue went and got all 25!
So over the next few days, I will show you some of them, starting with this gorgeous lace number from Pin Up.
There are system layers and appliers for Maitreya, Belleza, and Omega.
Another outfit found under the Maitreya Gifts, Sales & News group’s tree, this bodysuit comes with system layers and Maitreya and Omega appliers (and maybe a couple more that I deleted?) It seems as everyone is slowly adopting Omega anyway, so that’s the one I’m always looking for. Even the latest Slink releases support Omega. I think the only holdout is The Mesh Project. Stop blathering Blue and get on with the pics 🙂
But spring is on its way! This mesh dress was an MM prize from Darling Rentals, and comes in standard fitmesh sizing, plus fitmeshes for Maitreya, Belleza, and Slink.
I mentioned these sandals in my previous post, but realized they weren’t very visible. They are by Like Design, and if you are not a group member, well, you should be! They do some wonderful essential shoes for Slink that go with nearly anything. They are usually available in store on Lucky Letter boards or Midnight Mania boards, and sometimes have been available as SLF&O group gifts. I recommend checking them out!
And lastly I’m wearing a necklace that I got as an old group gift from Pixel Box Designs. However, it’s still available in store for purchase at the nice low price of L$50. The black steampunk theme sets the dress off nicely 🙂
Aeon: I’m all to aware what a new year is. We’ve made one more trip around the Sun, starting from an arbitrary point and crossing over that point again. Full circle, right? Only it’s not ‘back where we started’… The Sun orbits the Galactic Centre once every 230 million years or so, making for one heck of a cosmic Spirograph. So here we are, back at this arbitrary point, back again at the turning of the year, back full circle, but someplace new, too. We’ve seen so much this past year, so many adventures, so many things shared – and back again. I can’t help but feel so happy for all of it, the good and the bad… overjoyed for every moment with Blue, and our friends, and all of you. Thank you for joining us in this little adventure.
I wish you all peace this coming year, peace to all of us. I wish you a year of family and friends and new stories to tell. Hau’oli Makahiki Hou!
Blue: Happy New Year! Sitting here watching the fireworks with Aeon, I can’t help but reflect on all the wonderful memories we’ve made together over the last 12 months. We’ve built things together learning as we go; danced and celebrated our birthdays and those of our friends; we’ve had wonderful times exploring and sailing some wonderful land and seascapes; we’ve cried with our friends at Eden at the passing of one of the regulars; Aeon and I celebrated our first wedding anniversary; so many shared experiences! And looking forward, so much more to do, so much more to learn and discover!
I hope the new year brings to you and your family and friends a wonderful time, with love, peace, and happiness, and that all your dreams and goals are fulfilled!
