The Last Fifty Linden Friday. Ever.

Fifty Linden Friday is coming to an end- this is the very last one. A number of current and previous participants in the event are giving it one last hurrah, myself included.

I have two offerings: a mesh chandelier with candles, and, of course, it wouldn't be a FLF for me without a vest!

(hair: Find Ash on him, Fashionably Dead available for FLF on her; ~silentsparrow~ Jay Gossamer dress pieces and accessories for the Puffling Present Pursuit on her; Schadenfreudde Oxford shirt and striped pants on him; unreleased skins; Schadenfreude Dollparts tats on her; MALT and Imperial Elegance poses)

A the elephant, where you can also pick up a list of all the participants. Mine will still be out for the weekend with New Years and all, but I wouldn't count on everyone following suit.

Thank you barb, for a great event! It will be missed.

After the event is over, items will be available at the elephant or on the Marketplace.

Miskatonic Neckties

Ties to match the corsets, the Miskatonic neckties feature a single one of the colourful tentacles rising up from the depths to caress (or strangle?) the wearer, as well as a reversed version. The usual deal with optional attached texture change collars applies.

(~silentsparrow~ tattoos, Miss Shippe's Studio chin tattoos, Imperial Elegance poses)

At the elephant, as always.

Something Wicked Corsets

I rigged the sculpt underbust corsets in mesh, so there is an option for slinking around, and now, you too can break the boots first, then corset rule. I wouldn't recommend poses that are TOO ridiculous, as, you know, you are wearing a steel cage that's squeezing in your tasty organs so it will look silly, but you CAN now anyway. I love just dancing around wiggling in mine. (The mesh version will require some shape editing on your part, say goodbye to your belly fat!)

I made a bunch of new ones while I was at it; in spiderwebs, skulls, and tentacles- everything is still all HUD driven and the mesh one listens just the same as the sculpt, so you can use your old HUDs with the mesh version as well.

(skin by Fashionably Dead; tattoos by ~silentsparrow~; boots by Lassitude&Ennui; shirt by Pig; pose by {TERHO})

At the elephant, of course.

Andromeda and Widowed Ears

The Andromeda ears are chained with dangling stars, and optional sculpted moons with little man in the moon faces. They come on both Fey and Mer-Elf styles of ears, and are HUD controlled with a bunch of metal options and tintable ear tones, with updates when I add more textures.

(Fashionably Dead and Clawtooth hair; ~silentsparrow~ tunic; mostly unreleased skins/makeup; Schadenfreude eyes; poses by Luth)

(Schadenfreude [unreleased] and Tiny Bird hair; Schadenfreude Diamond Dogs makeup, unreleased skins; Schadenfreude eyes; poses by Luth and LAP)

And a bit spookier, The Widowed ears, with metal spiderwebs spanning the interior of the ear, with spiked earring backs. They also have optional spider earrings in all the colours of Natasha, plus silver.

(Uncleweb and Clawtooth hair; Nomine and unreleased Schadenfreude skins; Miss Shippe's Studio chin tattoo; Schadenfreude clothing and eyes; poses by Imperial Elegance and TERHO)

(lamb hair and boon tattoo hairbase; The Hidey Spot and Schadenfreude [unreleased] skins; Schadenfreude clothing and eyes; poses by Imperial Elegance)

As usual, at the elephant!

Zombies and candy, who could ask for anything more?

If you've known Schadenfreude for at least a year, you know about the treat buckets. I do them every year, with a different bucket full of candy and accessories and random crap, that will give out treats to anyone who touches it. I was getting all nostalgic this year, pulling them out to look at the buckets past, preparing to make a new one, and decided to put them out _without_ candy. These don't hand out toys, but they also aren't over 100 prims, and you can actually display them without using alll the prims. They're also mod, so you can decorate them yourself, if so inclined. There is a display version, and a carrying version (the carrying version has the same hold pose stuff as the candy giver, including the "trick or treat"). These are the 3 prior years (last year was skull, 3 years ago was cat, which might be my favourite of them all, and the pumpkin was in between- it's sort of a tradition to do a pumpkin every other year, so this year's will be another one), and the somewhat more primmy and not sculpted! one from the first year, that also lights up on command, is on the steps of the elephant for the completionist.

The treat bucket for this year will be out soon, possibly even today, but I make no promises. I sort of didn't sleep much.

And a 'beater, with a blood speckled heart print, the zombie heartbeater. As with them all, ribbed for your pleasure, men's and women's versions included.

At the elephant!

October! Events! And the best month of the year!

It's October, which means it's the busiest month of the year for me. Today at noon, the Free*Style anniversary event, 4.44.444, opened. The venue is jam packed full of all sorts of people with special things for 4, 44, or 444L (and photos of our pets, and some rare vintage Toast Bard pictures).

There are 2 new things there, that can't be found anywhere else until after the end of the event. One is Amortentia stockings in rainbow stripes, because, well, I do occasionally make the random ridiculous rainbow things:

(shoes from SMERSH, skins from Fashionably Dead, shorts from Pig, poses from Imperial Elegance)

(And any American girl with a Trapper Keeper around my age will know just WHAT Frank I'm talking about there...)

And the unspooky brother to the Strigoi Mort tuxedo, Astaire has been rotting in my inventory for longer than I want to admit (I had Plans, which I never got to, and, well, I finally said "screw it"). It also comes with a black vinyl collar with a texture change Lucent bowtie, as well as Lucent and fabric black and white bowties...I can't be _too_ traditional, after all.

(fledermaus tattoos by ~silentsparrow~, chin tattoo by Miss Shippe's Studio, poses by Luth, and released and un- Schadenfreude stuff. Some day I'll finish uploading those boyskins, pain in my ass)

At 4.44.444, floating above good ol' Lloyd!

After the event, these items will be located in the elephant!

White Amortentia Stockings

The Amortentias return, with white stripes this time. What can I say...I've got a thing for stripes, and sometimes I just want more socks. There are 2 packs, because I wanted to do a 12 pack again...and then ended up with more than 12. Whoops. So there's also a 6 pack of pastels.

(all shorts/skirts/dresses/undies from Schadenfreude, ~silentsparrow~, Pig, katat0nik, and Scribble- sadly most of the Scribble are no longer available; top shoes by Schadenfreude, bottom shoes by Lassitude&Ennui; poses by {TERHO} and Imperial Elegance, both currently only available on the Marketplace)

At the elephant, as always.

Eleanor Sleeveless Blouses

(Tres Blah jeans, though they are ancient and probably long retired but I love them; bracelets are a mix of Violet Voltaire and Lolapop; pose is fine.)

Newly out at the elephant, the Eleanor Sleeveless Blouse. Sort of the little less traditional sister to the Oxfords, a cropped sleeveless button down blouse with a band collar and shaping darts. I have this weird little affection for this type of shirt in RL, and wanting to wear them with the corsets (and with jackets...though Alle tends to go shirtless with jackets...a lot) finally got me to bring them to SL. 25 colours, in brights, pastels, darks, and neutrals so, like the oxfords, they could match whatever I wanted- sold separately and the whole lot of them together in a discounted pack.



In the elephant!

I'm Only Happy When It Rains

The Happy When It Rains event has started at Twomoons Island! A bunch of people (myself included) have booths with rainy items for the event. I ended up with 14 new things for it, because I sculpted this little cloud, and then this umbrella, and then sort of went insane. I know, like this was actually a change from my default state.

The clouds, well. They made me channel my inner Japanese girl. She's very small, and cute, and perpetually in her early 20s and wears big frilly floofy skirts. There are 2 sets of Kawaii Clouds jewelry, with bead drops of rain, and strings of rainbow beads.


The clouds made another appearance on a tanktop and t-shirt- the tanktop is the same teal as the Skunk Electro-cute, and can be made into a dress with that set using it instead of the skunk top.



And another prim corset! MiaSnow, our fine host for this event, is always unabashedly courageous with her use of colour, and it's always amazing. The rain soaked corset's colours, and those of the matching necktie, were inspired by her.



And then, of course, if it's raining, you need an umbrella! And so, the parapluies- sculpted brollies that go with the corset and tie. Each contains two umbrellas- a purple to pink outer with a teal to blue inner, and a teal to blue outer with a purple to pink inner. The most traditional ones, to carry around holding, have three holding poses you can cycle between when the owner clicks upon the umbrella. (My poses were ALL conflicting with each other when I was trying to take pictures, though they were perfectly fine with cooperating until I was to that point [bastard SL], so they really DO have the relevant fists set, even though the one there doesn't look it.)


There are also versions that go out in your house- a straight up display version, 4 prims to sit on your floor, and 2 styles of lamp. The chandelier is the more primmy, with 8 lightbulbs, one from each spoke- the umbrella with lights itself is 11 prims, and there are 2 ceiling mounts, a one prim version, and a two prim (they look very similar- the higher prim option provides more flexibility so you don't have to mount them from a level ceiling). The lamp is 4 prims, with the 1-2 prim ceiling mount, with a single lightbulb nestled behind the canopy, softly glowing. There's one of those upside down (or is it right side up?) in the blue sparrow room in the basement right now. Both electrified brollies light and extinguish when anyone clicks on them. And yes, I know they're redundantly named. But that way you can find them when you search in inventory, maybe?



(the human girl's clothing, tattoos, and hair are all from katat0nik, aside from her pants in the t-shirt picture, which are ~silentsparrow~; the tattoos on the elves are from ~silentsparrow~, as are their pants and her skirt in the holding parapluie and necktie pictures; the girl elf's shirt in the necktie picture is from Pig; all poses by {TERHO}, and my boy model is secure enough in his sexuality that he can even pull off girl poses and look hot; all skins, eyes, makeup and ears by Schadenfreude, as are the hair on both elves, and the oxford shirt on him in the tie picture)

You too can be happy when it rains, on Twomoons Island!

After the event is over, items will be available at the elephant or on the Marketplace.

Electro-cute Corsets!

I'm really quite fond of the prim corsets, as much as they do limit the poses I can use. And so, there are more. Saccharinly sweet Electro-cute corsets! (I'm in the bat right now...of course.) They come in three packs by Electro-cute, and the bigass pack of all of them. Like the rest, fit once, change with a HUD, so if you already have one of the corsets, you just want to hold onto the HUD for the new patterns.



(hair: lamb, undies: Schadenfreude matching Electro-cute undies, skin unreleased)

The silky ribbons tying you up in back match the binding, for all but the candy coloured skull- that one has blue laces instead of pink.

At the elephant!

Aislinn Grizot, full of tentacled goodness in octopus.
Achariya, pastelly and pretty in skull.

March Mint Madness!

(minty tats from ~silentsparrow~, minty bra and sweater from Pig, minty wings from Lazy Places, minty jewelry from Lolapop!, hair and mouth mint from MiaSnow)




(those minty tattoos from ~silentsparrow~, those minty undies from Pig)

It's time for Mint Madness! MiaSnow invited a bunch of people to make mint themed items, and I was one of the lucky invitees. And lo, there was mint. From me, there's a corset, necktie, floofy skirt outfit, 2 sets of makeup, sparrow, and eyes. The mint Oxford is also there on sale, and one of the mint feather boas (which is totally a different shade of mint, but regardless!) Mint Madness starts 10am March 10, and runs until March 30 on Twomoons Island.



(more of the ~silentsparrow~ tats, SMERSH shoes, Split Pea head flowers for Project I can't spell Themeory, poses mostly by Lazy Places and some by Imperial Elegance and I think one by LAP, and the rest is random Schadenfreude stuffs)

And since hya and I both drew mint for the event, there's a pair of framed prints for decorating your home.


See the mint on Twomoons Island!

(After the event, selected items will be available on the Marketplace.)

Oh My Stars-O-Rama

The sims of Elliott and Bill do these events, Oh My Stars-O-Rama, where we're all given something to create items around for the event. This time, it was a feather.

And so! There are feathery things. A feather boa, in both the hanging and wrapped styles, and a feather tree, in copy and transfer versions, from me. Those gold feather lashes up there? From Miss Shippe's Studio for the event too.

(hair from Clawtooth, lamb, fashionably dead, Schadenfreude; all facepaint from Miss Shippe's Studio; clothing from Pig, Schadenfreude, Pig, Schadenfreude; tattoos by ~silentsparrow~; skin&eyes by Schadenfreude; poses by Imperial Elegance and LAP)

Available at Schadenfreude on Elliott, February 26th to March 5th.


After the event is over, items will be available at the elephant or on the Marketplace.

Polkadot Neckties

(That's the Guayabera by Pig on him)

I'm a little behind on my blogging, whoops. But anyway! New neckties, that match the polka dots of the corsets, sets of two colours, black dots and black background. Regular ties, and a shorter and wider style, the uberpack is HUD change and works with the rest of the HUDed ties (so any of those can be in the short wide style as well, and you don't have to fit new standard ones).




Out at the elephant!

Year of the Bunny

There's a combination birthday/New Year party for the Magic of Oz and Ozimals sims going on right now, with one of the traditional Oz hunts. I'm in it, with eyes! Eyes with little bunnies hidden in them, in green and brown, prim and system.

I chose eyes this time for a very special reason- there's a new Ozimals bunny trait, green eyes named Schadenfreude! Malk and Candy are awesome, and told me about it only AFTER the first occurrence of the trait in breeding- I found out about it after it was announced in Ozimals chat, it was a pretty cool easter egg to log in and find out about (someone else sent me a notecard of the chatlog too!). They are SNEAKY SNEAKY PEOPLE. ♥

Go to the Magic of Oz to start hunting! You might want to get there quick, it ends this weekend, the 6th is the last day. There's lots of other awesome from the rest of the shops in the sims too!

Corsetry

Prim corsets...are something I've struggled with for ages due to technical concerns. Mostly being the moving and whoops you're sticking through it part. Now, you get the right AO and that becomes much less of an issue, so I finally said "screw it, I want to wear corset, now" and finished them (they've actually been almost finished since alpha masks were first starting to be introduced. I'm _that_ indecisive).




HUD texture change, sold is sets of 3 by colour with three patterns in each, or a big fat uberpack of the lot of them. They all can have the HUDs added on, so you can just fit once and buy whichever selected colours you want (since the fitting's the hard part anyway), and I might end up adding more patterns, perhaps.



Fitting will require using the Build menu a bit! Not super extreme editing or anything, it's only 2 pieces including the bow (that you can mostly ignore until the end and then just move into place), but you'll want to mod to fit properly. You will also need a non wiggly AO- the less your waist and torso moves around, the closer you can fit your corset! There is a frozen waist animation version as well- however that makes some poses look quite silly, so it's your choice as to whether to use it. There are two shapes of the corset included- one's got wider hips (which is what Alle wears, being pear-shaped), and one with wider ribs, that ought to be better for the ladies who are more top heavy, and perhaps some of the boys as well, what with generally not being as well endowed in the hip area (though it is still of a rather generous ass, so your mileage may vary).

Out at the elephant!

Achariya in white and black spots.
Newdoll in a little bit of everything. Well, corsety-wise, as there are no pants.

Wold

The flooding in Queensland is pretty horrific to watch- it's pretty incredible in a jaw dropping holy fuck I hope everyone is ok kind of way. (And the property damage...oi.) Sanura Sakai of Sanu has put together a charitable event to send some money in that direction to help- it's been all very short notice let's get something done asap. I managed to get mine finished and out with a couple of hours to spare >.<

I made a new unisex necklace for the event:


(Clawtooth hair and ~silentsparrow~ outfit on her, &bean skin and Gritty Kitty hair on him)

I ended up offering it as transfer too, though you have to pick boy or girl sized to start with in that case. I prefer copy, and it seems like in this sort of thing most people do (last experiment offering both, sales were almost entirely for the copy version!), so I usually don't, but I figured I might as well in this case for those that want to give one away, since this may not be seen again after the event.

You can find the necklace out at the Extend a Helping Hand Market, along with many things from other creators as well. The market is open as of today, and ends the 31st.

Oh My Stars!

For the newly opened Oh My Stars on Elliott, glass star jewelry- after Elliott's closure, moved to the elephant.

There is a gacha, for those who like to gamble and see what fun thing they can get, with transfer versions that you can trade and give away:


And, a scripted set with a HUD that lets you do all the gacha possibilities, plus more:

(Clawtooth hair, limited edition ~silentsparrow~ Lysi in the first one)

Kandi Kane and Holidaze

A few festive things for the season, from Schadenfreude:


(Cirque bra, Dawn Langwidere skin, Imperial Elegance pose)


(~silentsparrow~ snufferbux jacket, belladonna:lepidoptera tattoos, and, erm, I have a crapton of green ~silentsparrow~ pants, that's one of them on him... and Imperial Elegance poses)
The leather of the belts can be changed with the HUD from the Strigen belts, if you have that!


(Imperial Elegance poses)

The Stripey Patchmas pants and Stripey Christmas Vest are out again as well. All at the elephant, of course.
