Forgotten Angel

I rarely have time to explore SL’s great Sim designs, but Forgotten City, with its monumental structures, strange machines and misty cobblestone streets, set amidst the ruins of an earlier metropolis, is one that will fire your imagination. You wouldn’t be surprised in a place like this if angels surveyed the streets, forgotten in time and place like the city they inhabit. Bring your camera when you go…

The wings & first three poses shown are a new release from HISPose, one of the best makers specialized in props/poses for men (or angels). The wings are color change and there are actually 6 poses in the set at the very reasonable price of just 100l. The A:S:S kilt & belt is an Avenue Magazine Readers gift found at Zenshi, and the pants are one of the gifts from (Red)Sand for the Hollywood event. If you haven’t been to Hollywood go there before it ends on the 14th – you will be opening “swagbags” from all the participants for days.

Screen Scenes

Kusshon‘s It’s a Man’s World Screen, available at Mens Dept through today (after in store), makes a nice vintage decor item and was fun to use as a backdrop for some retro style photos. My friend Sidney Bluestar of Sup Poses got inspired and made some pin-up type poses to go with the screen, now available for sale in her store with a prop of her design.

Lots of events ending today or this weekend (Tekila pointed out some below) such as Mens Dept, The Arcade, Skin Fair, Whore Couture and various hunts. For the women, note the excellent shape from PixyStix, which is a hunt gift available through today.  Also go visit new hair store Due, where you will find a fatpack of the mesh “Lily” hair completely free.

The Bears

When I saw that Naminoke was offering a Mesh avi in the Spring is Near Hunt I rushed out to get it. The bear avi is like a large stuffed doll, held together by rough seams and features a side pocket for carrying a cub. With it’s mixture of man and beast it manages to be both cute and odd, but definitely striking.

Wearing it, I was reminded of one of my favorite childhood authors, Maurice Sendak, because it makes you feel like one of the wild things. I mentioned this to my friend Sidney Bluestar of Sup Poses and she was happy to oblige me with two custom Sendak-inspired poses that perfectly captured how I felt in Naminoke’s nuigurumar. Check out her store for cool poses at great prices.

Spring is Near is taking place in and around the Acid Lily gallery and is a small hunt with a number of nice gifts (5l per item) that can be previewed on the hunt website.

Bears in Arms

• Complete Avi: Naminoke – Nuigurumar (5l, Spring is Near Hunt #4 until April 9th, MESH, includes female shape)
• Wall Decal: Dazzling Designs – Tree Decal (75l on Marketplace, includes 3 textures)
  
• Poses: Sup Poses – Bear 1, Bear 2 (Custom Poses not currently available for sale)

Looney Tunes

The Nest’s annual Easter Egg hunt started this weekend and there are some wonderful gifts to be had from select stores on SL’s leading home & decor shopping sim (more previews can be see here). The eggs are hidden throughout the sim, on rooftops and in attics, or scattered in the fields, but they are easily found and there are many of them – most of the participants have put out multiple gifts.

Some of my favorites include the incredibly cute “Eggie” set of mesh figurines from What Next, which range from the dapper Mister Egg to a Geek in goggle glasses or moody Little Miss Monday, who perfectly expresses the Monday-morning blues (there are actually 6 figures to be found – I’ll be going back for my missing egg). Cleo Design’s gifts include a butterfly-laden director’s chair and a colorful set of wall plates that I’ve long needed for my decor and Cheaky Pea’s Mr Whiskers tea set (teapot + cups in a range of colors) should keep you in Earl Grey for days on end.

I’ll have more on the avi I’m using here in a later post (and more decor as well), but for now, in the words of the immortal BB, That’s All Folks…
