Halloween Fun!

World of Warcraft was down for maintenance today, so I’ve decided to post something I’ve been working on…a World of Warcraft Blood Elf avatar.

I was recently inspired to create a Blood Elf Mage in Second Life after doing some shopping at Tekeli-li (http://slurl.com/secondlife/Hollow%20Earth/70/210/42).  I found the entire outfit, including the hair and staff in the pic above there.  It inspired me to create Blood Elf eyes and eyebrows for a total Blood Elf outfit.  Who knows?  Maybe it will be a great Halloween outfit!  I’ve also got an amazing special effects hud to give the finishing touch….frost, fire, hail storms, chanting and singing chorus…it has it all!  Now I can be an awesome level 80 Blood Elf frost/fire mage in SL as well as in WOW!  Yeah, I just outed myself as a WOW nerd…but don’t come and mess with me or I’ll put a frost nova on your ass and finish you off with some arcane missles!

Top Hair Shops in Second Life

Do you get as exhausted as I do looking for the perfect hairstyle?  Well, I’ve composed a list of the top SL hair shops for your convenience.  It’s not comprehensive…just as I know of them in SL.  If you feel I’ve left one out, please drop me a note.

Hairspray 1 & 2

  • http://slurl.com/secondlife/Hairspray/21/128/52
  • These two sims are devoted to hair shops only.  Its a good way to check out lots of hairstyles on a massive hair hunt!  If you find you like a shop just click the LM giver to TP to the main store  location to get more hair selections from that designer.

* This list will be expanded and edited as more info is collected so do check back periodically for updates.  Also, the article can be found in the tabs at the top of the page for easy access.

If you are a hair designer and have a more current blog url or slurl please let me know!  I’d like to keep the list as current and usable as possible.  And of course, anybody can let me know of a shop that they feel should be on a list also.  I welcome any suggestions and will check them out.

Oubliette

Do you like flat, square sims?  Shops all lined up straight in a row?  Non-landscaped parcels of mish-mash items for sale?  Vendors all lined up in rows and rows on uninteresting walls?  Do ya?  Well then,  DON’T come to Oubliette!  Oubliette is for dreamers, the curious, the dramatic, those who love fine quality goods, and for those who love The Hunt!  Right at this VERY moment there is a terrific hunt going on there called Pieces of You…and I mean a quality item hunt, not a freebie junk give-away.  See the dresses above?  I found those items only moments ago…gorgeous, gorgeous items by Evie’s Closet on Oubliette.  And I’m not finished!  I will NOT leave until I find Saiyge Lotus’ Strange as Angels collection.  I have one earring at the moment and as soon as I post this, I will continue until I own every prim of that collection!  I’m a huge fan of Saiyge Lotus’s shop Balderdash.  Isn’t that a fun name?  I recommend that you visit her shop here and take lots of lindens.  Every time I enter her shop I buy pretty much everything she has that is new since my last visit.  Her items are creative, unique, exquisitely detailed, and simply beautiful.  No, not simply at all.  Neither her designs nor her landscaping and terraforming of the sim are simple.  Complex is the word.  A master’s touch.  That makes this hunt all the more worthwhile…her sim is endlessly surprising and beautiful.  The fact that you get these amazing purple boxes of treasures (12 in all) is icing on the cake!

To join in the hunt just click on the sign upon entering and rezzing on the sim.  You will need to join the hunt group at a cost of $88L and then each box is $1L for a total expense of $100L.  More than a fair deal!  The gown and dress I’ve already found is easily valued over $1000L.  Not to mention the fun of the hunt!  Take friends to make more of a game out of it…see who can get the whole collection first.  They aren’t easy to find, but wandering the sim and taking in the sights is half the fun.  If you really really can’t find a few boxes, then look in the notecard given when clicking the start board…there are clues in there for locations.

Balderdash keeps good company too.  The other shops on the sim are Winx, Evie’s Closet, and Frippery…all high quality designers and shops worth checking out and they’ve all contributed to the hunt items that you will find.

Well, I must go…got some hunting to do.  Happy hunting to you all!

Tip: There are many Hunts offered in SL.  They vary in quality, but it’s a great thing to participate in.  Join them all if you can…they will lead you to new discoveries and give you a great education on what good products vs. bad products are.  They will also lead you to wonderful and little known sims.  Some of my best discoveries were found this way!
