The wandering stars, the wandering June

So I finally got a chance to log in (busy RL, SL not cooperating) and head over to Collabor88. This month's theme is nautical, and there are logs of fun things to pick up. Not least among them are this cool hair from Clawtooth (optional starfish attachment not shown) and top from Milk Motion.

Next on my list to check out is (Tales of Fantasy gacha event) where you'll find these horns from The Forge. The necklace is from Luminary and you'll find it at the upcoming round of Genre, which opens on June 15.

We Love Role-Play is still going strong, with everything discounted between 25 and 50%, including these pants from Paper Moon and the gorgeous bag from The Library.

Little red

Another trip to Enchantment!   This is the Rotkappchen (the German name for Little Red Riding Hood) outfit from Junbug, which comes in three different colourways. It's based on a traditional dirndl, and could be a great peasant, wench or servant's outfit, for all that it's so lush and colourful. It would certainly make a change from the homespun browns we're used to seeing.

The ballerina shoes are from Enfant Terrible, and once you've bought your favourite colour shoe, you can change out the sock textures with the hud. Left and right socks can be changed separately, if you want to be a little unconventional!

The flower and ribbon head wreath also comes from Enfant Terrible, and the neckalce and ring from Bokeh. Once again, poses are from Infiniti

As with yesterday's post, the poses are from Infiniti. You can see that some of the  dynamic 'Running scared' make the mesh gown look as though it's billowing in the air.

 I mentioned yesterday that 'Better to see you with' was a great set for showing off nails... but I forgot to mention that it also includes a set of nail appliers for Slink avatar enhancment hands. Sorry! The 'Little Red' set includes five different tones of red, from bright scarlet to deep burgundy.

All Enchantment items are exclusive to the event, so if you want anything there, now is the only chance you'll get...

To survive

Lots more goodies from the Fantasy Gacha Carnival which opens in two days time. Armlets, boots and collar are from MeshedUp, the crown is from Distorted Dreams, and the mask from Black Pearls.
The fur outfit is from gO, staff from Stitched Gods, and skirt/belt from Keystone.

If you're impatient, you can grab the ears now at The Fantasy Collective) and there's still time to get to the current round of Collabor88, where you can find this hair from Clawtooth.

So red

More previews from Fantasy Gacha Carnival! Don't worry, it's coming closer...

In these pictures, I've featured a kimono-style tunic and accessories (including hair) from FuubutsuDou, staff from Ginger Line (the sister brand to Velvet Whip), circlet from Keystone, collar from Circe, and eyeshadow from Highlife (you can see it better after the jump!).

Don't forget, if you're a blogger and you'd like early access from 26-31 January, contact Niccii Nitely in-world.

A cry or a least a sigh or a single tear

Bleargh, I've eaten way too much and feel ill. Never mind, these prizes from Fantasy Gacha Carnival (opening 1 February) are guaranteed not to make you gain weight or give you indigestion.

Owing to my over-indulgence, I'm going to skip writing very much. Just quickly - super-customisable horns from Decadent Courtesan; circlet from Keystone, necklace from Zyn, gown from Circe, and corset from Roawenwood. You can also catch a little peek of another set of Slink nail appliers from Wicked Peach!

And now... I should go make some peppermint tea or something :o

More previews from the Fantasy Gacha Carnival

More items from Fantasy Gacha Carnival today - there are going to be so many goodies at this event when it opens on 1 February!

From the top down, my headdress is the ultra-rare version of the Leendah crown from Deluxe Body Factory. The harness and belt are a matching set from Luas, and can also be worn as a set of slave jewelry. (Another gacha from Luas contains matching circlets and hand jewels.)

The gown is Valkyrie, a common from Cellar Door. If you win a rare you'll find yourself with a complementary headdress. Wicked Peach have made nail appliers for Slink hands and feet (you'll need to already own these) in a range of designs. Each pack contains several colours. Finally, the very cool poses are all commons from Rack and include the sword props (saving hours of editing!)

We've been pining, and now we want to go home

The fabulous gown in the picture is from Junbug at the current round of Collabor88. For the event, it's priced at only 188L, and it's accompanied by fur wraps and the cutest satin clutch bags, all at great prices. Check. It. Out. 

(This round of C88 has some really amazing offers, you're bound to see all the blogs and feeds just stuffed with items. I bought so much there it'd certainly fill out several posts...)

Also, a couple of items from the Fantasy Gacha Carnival, which opens on 1 February. The quiver is the rare Elven prize from one of Pucca Firecaster Creations's gachas. The other gacha features a series of roleplay-oriented belts - each has different items attached to suit your role.

The jewelry I'm wearing is Elbensoul  circlet from Emo-Tions, who have two gachas featuring beautiful circlets and necklaces. I really like how Emo-Tions have structured their prize too - the rares come with extra matching earrings. The commons don't have the earrings, but they're all absolutely lovely

By the way, if you're a blogger and you'd like early access to the event, send a notecard title "Early Entry FGC" to Niccii Nitely in-world and she'll make sure you're added.

The last time

Another couple of sneak peeks from Fantasy Gacha Carnival! The grey sleeves are one of the 'epic' or ultra-rare prizes from Stitched Gods's combat sleeves - a set of arm warmers for females. The staffs are from Cubic-Cherry Kreations. Each colour comes in three variations - hold in left hand or right hand, and wear on back.

The staffs, and the rares and ultra-rares of the sleeves, are materials-ready,  so if you have one of the latest viewers (latest version of the official viewer or the Firestorm Beta), turn on your advanced lighting mode to see the full effect.

The rest of my outfit is not from FGC, but includes some recent releases from The.Plastik - the Rhea belt (I love this, might have to get some more colours), Camael horns, and Morgana gown. Full credits at the end.

I'd let you win my heart again

Luminary recently sent out the teasers for their offerings at the upcoming Fantasy Gacha Carnival event, which opens on 1 February.

This round is themed 'Winter Wonderland', and Augurer explained that she was inspired by Shakespeare's 'The Winter's Tale', the story of an insanely jealous king who believes his queen to be unfaithful, and so condemns her and their infant daughter. (At the end of the play, both mother and daughter and restored to their rightful positions.) There is a theory that this play was inspired King Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn, while the princess represents Elizabeth I, Shakespeare's great patroness.

The initial necklace is the common from the gacha and is inspired by famous portrait of Anne Boleyn. You'll probably need to get a few friends together for a swapping party to make sure you get your letter! The crown is the rare item, and there are three different colours if you want to chase them all down.

Solange! and Kyoot at Zodiac

A new Second Life shopping event called Zodiac has just launched - and there's no prizes for guessing that it's themed around the astrological star signs. This month, Leo is the sign of the collection. While the event isn't specifically aimed at roleplayers, there are some great pieces there you might like to look at.

Star of the show for RP types might be the Leona outfit from Solange! which would work for panther or slave. You can choose to make it PG or not... the not is after the jump :)

 The bustiers from Kyoot could be a nice wardrobe addition for bonds or free women- they're on multiple clothing layers so you can make sure you're covered (or not).

... and everything is 200L or under. Yay!
