World Goth Fair: What We Do In Cursed, 2

(click to enlarge)

STORYLINE: It had been one year since the walls around Cursed fell. Those imprisoned in the City of Cursed for being "dark" won their freedom at last! Scarlet, the leader of the Rebellion, was finally reunited with her long lost sister Elizabeth. Their joy was overwhelming. But like any sisters, they eventually had some disagreements.... At first the arguments were over little things like clothing borrowing without permission. Just normal sisterly squabbles, right? Well, mostly. Only a sister of Darkness would threaten to add her sister's head to the collection if the Baron La Croix's sacred skull was not returned immediately.

I'm so happy I was able to return to the Elizabeth and Scarlet plotline from last year. It felt unfinished to not show their reunion last year. But since a year has past, well..., Elizabeth is discovering some of the unpleasant sides of her older sister. lol

The Femdom throne and Gullotine at by Unkindness. The set is a new release for ROMP. The Queen of Hearts throne includes several sitting positions, and the guillotine has a uncomfortable pose for the naughty. The Kendo Sword by Souzou Eien is from the current Anime round of Genre. It comes script with changeable holding poses, or unscripted. You can mod, so I added a red tint to the grips. The Rose cane is by Chaos Panic and Disorder on sale at World Goth Fair. And the Gothic endtable, cognac, and glass are by 22769 ~[bauwerk] on sale at World Goth Fair. The Skull is a group gift from Contraption and the Baron's top hat comes from the Tableau Vivant Samedy hair set. ... Scarlet is wearing the jacket by Dark Water Designs on sale at World Goth Fair. The system corset and fitted mesh skirt with texture hud are by Sakide. The Charlotte boots are by Bliensen + MaiTai. They come in red or black and have a texture hud to change decoration on the boot from rose to raven. Scarlet's pose by Black Tulip is one from the Lost in the Woods set, on sale at WGF. ....

STORYLINE: Despite their differences, (and silly arguments over who is the hottest Hottie in Cursed), Elizabeth and Scarlet had a bond so strong the wall that kept them apart broke first.

The hats and Scarlet's necklace are from the deviousMind gacha at the Fantasy Gacha Carnival. Each item has 5 colors you can select from a popup menu. Scarlet is wearing the Crystal Spider hat and collar and it makes me happy since the Spiders are a symbol for the Rebellion in my Cursed storylines. ...The collar on Elizabeth is by Sweet Lies, also at the Fnatasy Gacha. ...The white bat on Elizabath's shoulder and the red bat by Scarlet are from the Arkham gacha by Swagga. They're so awesome! Best looking bats in SL! ... Both Scarlet and Elizabeth are wearing the Chelo hair by Olive on sale at the Dark Style Fair. You can get a simple color pack, larger color pack, or fatpack. You can color the streaks separate from the back of the hair.

World Goth Fair has released it's DJ schedule for the big day, World Goth Day on May 22, and it's even longer than in the past! Schedule below. WGF has lots of staggered releases, some will be released on May 22nd for World Goth Day, so be sure stop by and enjoy the tunes.

 

The Big Ben Bats

(click to enlarge)

STORYLINE: It started out as a joke. He was drunk and the music at The Batcave was horrible that night. He complained loudly. Okay, maybe he shouted and threw a beer bottle. And well, long story short, the guitarist of No Talent called him a tosser, so he bit him live on stage infront of a stunned crowd of black-clad concert goers. In that moment as he looked out at the crowd in a fuzzy daze, the lights shining in his eyes, something clicked in his head. "This," he thought, "Right here. Right now." He didn't know how to play guitar, but with the blood of his defeated enemy coursing in his veins, he didn't let it stop him. He wailed on the blood splattered guitar as if the devil himself had just taken the stage. He became a legend of sorts in the London Underground. Part of his schtick was biting people live on stage. "Mess with the Bat, and you get the fang!" That's how the music career started of the guitarist of infamous Big Ben Bats.

Two great events going on right now. Leaf on the Wind is a fund raiser for the 29 year old Scarlet Chandrayaan (owner of Alouette). Her cancer has returned and she expected to have only 2 more years. At the top of her bucket list is a dream to see London. Designers on the grid have rallied and created Leaf on the Wind to help her dream come true. This is a wonderful event with a mission and has many fun London items for sale. The sim itself is decorated with an England theme. It runs until the end of January. More information here: leafonthewindsl.wordpress.com In the image above, I'm showing the gacha of the plates and shelf by Zanzibar creationZ, the ottoman by 22769 bauwerk, and the cool UK stomper boots by Forsaken.

(click to play. note: no audio)

The Creators Collection Box is a brand new event featuring Japanese content creators. Don't miss this event, it's huge and the deals are sweet! There's something for everyone: girls, guys, decor and gadgets. Above is the fun guitar by Namine which plays like a real guitar! Touch notes on the hud, and you are playing live inworld! It has 2 playing styles, and a total of 66 notes. (I wasn't able to record the sounds it makes in the video, but you can demo the guitar at the event.) Also shown from CCB, is the table and chair by La petite fleur. The chair has 4 animations for the girls, and 4 for the guys. Touch the lamp to turn it on and off. The man holding the records is a gift at the La petite fleur mainstore. Shown below are two stools from the No Concept Creators Collection Box. They are part of a gacha for only 40L each!

I'm wearing an awesome new coat with shirt, vest, and tie by FATEwear. For the first time, FATEwear has included Fitted mesh along with the standard sizes. The fatpack comes with a hud to mix and match the different colors for the jacket, shirt, and tie. I added a slightly darker red tint to the tie, and darker grey to the void color jacket. I came close to using the KoKoLoReS Kazu hair for my yearbook picture but I'm glad I didn't now. It's perfect for an early goth Robert Smith type of style. The Goth Buttons are by papermoon. You can also buy Goth Patches and add to your coats and shirts for a touch of retro punk. The Cropped Sarrouel pants by Chronokit work perfect with the Forsaken boots. The plaid belt by :Sey I edited to make it thicker in a retro style. Because it's mod, it was no problem to tuck it within the coat, and overlaping the pants. The gloves are a gacha rare from last month's Men's Department. Yes, if you look close, that hand gesture is not a fist, it's something a bit more rude. lol

From the set, the EliBaily Recycled Planks Bed is from a past gacha at The Men's Department. The Cello Coffin Box is by Souzou Eien. I showed the cello in the past, but this time I am showing the awesome coffin box that comes with it! love it! The Big Ben prop is actually the box for the From Hell gacha by Never Totally Dead. And by favorite red rug by Senzafine is from a past World Goth Fair.

This is a collaboration project with Aarya Phantomhive of the Dark Phantom blog. She is always a joy to work with. Her idea to make a band and have an album was so much fun, and for a good cause too! To read her report, storyline, and stylecard for the Big Ben Bats, head over to the Dark Phantom blog.

The Addams Family - The Perfect Family 1

(click to enlarge)

STORYLINE: The Addams Family was a popular topic of rumor and speculation at Wednesday's school. The normally soft murmurs turned into a roar when for show and tell, Wednesday brought a macabre painting she claimed she painted herself. But instead of people praising her artist skill, they were horrified. The details were so gruesome, her art teacher asked how she achieved such realism. Wednesday replied simply she had a live "dead" model.

Every now and then something spontaneous and wonderful happens. After a conversation between Draconias and Aarya about how the Addams Family is the "Perfect Family," this fun portrait idea grew. Thanks to Aarya, Draconias, and Lexxii for letting me blog this!

Noctis is kicking butt this October. You need some authentic looking spookiness for your Halloween? Run over to RMK Gothic and check out the Halloween Market Noctis booth on main street in front of the castle. I love this Abandoned Piano! It comes with a stool, piano, lots of candles and sheet music too! Just touch the sheet music twice to start playing Clair De Lune by Debussy. Love it! You can buy additional sheet music too, a creepy horror version of Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata with spooky sounds effects. To the right of Morticia is one of the pieces from the macabre Artist studio by Noctis. It's part of the Tag Gacha - Haunted Hollywood Tours. Touch the painting and it will slowly go from blank canvas to fulled painted. Very cool! You can read how to play the Tag Gacha here: http://taggacha.com/how-to-play

STORYLINE: Muffy Hightower was on a mission: infiltrate the Addams mansion, find out if Wednesday really does have a mummified body for her still life painting, report her findings to her friends, and collect the reward money. Simple, right? First, Muffy started by emulating Wednesday's style. She laughed secretly inside when the gloomy girl was so overjoyed that a popular cheerleader suddenly took an interest in her that an invite to a slumber party at Freak Central soon followed. It was all too easy, Muffy thought.  What could possibly go wrong?

Muffy is wearing a fantastic Wednesday dress by Goth1c0 you can pick up at RMK Halloween. Her Eyeball necklace is by DownDownDown. You can change the textures by touching it and switch the colors on ribbon, metal, and 3 sets of eyes. Her pet Moth by Silentsparrow is a Dream Gacha prize. It comes in holdable, follow, and rez versions. (If you hurry there is also a purple and orange Moth still out for sale from Fifty Linden Friday at the mainstore location.) Muffy's hair, by Taketomi, is a fun spooky kawaii style with many hair pins and skulls from the past round of Gacha Mania. Her pastel goth tights are by Amerie, and shoes from Boom. Her pose is by Kirin and one one of many wonderful gifts from Season's Story anniversary round. Be sure to go check it out before the event ends.

Death Row makes it's debut at Collabor88 with two stunning pieces for the spooky hotel theme: A gorgeous velvet hotel couch, and stacked suitcases that include a blood stained holdable one, with or without, pose trigger. The couch seats people on all four sides, comes in pg and adult, and has a texture change hud. Don't miss it!  From RMK Halloween is the Ethelton Casket from Noctis is another beautifully textured goodie for gothic home decor. It includes a pose to laying down inside, and the lid opens and closes. There is a hud to change it's textures too. To the left of the image is the Magus supplies and Professor's desk, and on the rug is the Magus podium is the gift from RMK Halloween Dream Gacha. On the wall above the desk, is the Papermoon Green Witch Shelf from the Halloween Market at RMK, and by the podium is Green Witch Bundle prize from the RMK Dream Gacha. Next to the bundle is the Crystal Altar by Souzou Eien. It's also a prize from the RMK Dream Gacha. Close by is the Jar of Dirt from the MelonBunny booth at RMK Halloween Market. It's one of the commons from the gacha. The Rares are backpacks and when someone bumps you, your jar spills it's contents all over.  There is a hearts rare backpack and bones. (Go figure I won the hearts rares instead of the bones. lol)  Speaking of backpack, next to Muffy on the ground is the Traveling Witch Pack by Contraption on sale at the RMK Halloween market. Poking out from behind the piano, is the Purple Skeleton Flamingo lawn ornament by Free Bird. It's a gacha in the RMK Halloween Market. To the right of the piano, it a small table by Noctis, vanitas Still life table flute from the Tag Gacha. Next to the Coffin is the Somewhere beyond the sea chaise lounge by Bauwerk. I added it for Pugsley who has a pet octopus. Finishing off the spooky room is the Pixelwear Vamps Rug.

The Pleasure Palace: The Opium's Curse

(click to enlarge)

STORYLINE: There was defeat in victory. The Cursed A.N.G.E.L was bleeding badly. He needed blood, lots of it. He was delirious. He had already ripped EVA limb from limb, and still he battled on. He attacked spectators blindly, but the blood of genetically engineered humans could not satisfy him. The thirst drove him to more and more horrific acts of violence. Standing calm in sea of screeching people was a man with a dart gun. He knew the Cursed A.N.G.E.L's weakness. A dart soon found it's mark, and the A.N.G.E.L collapsed. ..."Opium. God, why did it have to be opium?" he moaned. He hated that crap. Opium cursed him. If only he hadn't been so damn high on that moonless night long ago, he would have realized from where that bump-in-the-night came, and ran like hell.

ROMP is a fantastic new event for adults with the slogan of "elegant kink." That's right, the best of SL designer's have created new quality products to spice up your sexy time. Don't miss it! For my first post on ROMP, I am showing the Slingback chair by CerberusXing. It comes in teal, pink, black, beige, and purple. Each chair comes with hud will change the silk drap texture and you can also edit tint it like I did above. The chair has 7 single animations, 9 cuddle animations for couples, 5 cuddle animations for a threesome, and the adult version has 9 animations for couples, and 7 animations for threesomes. All poses are adjustable and can save your settings. Land impact of 10. ... The silky heart shaped bed is by Bauwerk. You can get it in PG and Adult. The PG version has 27 single animations, and 38 couple animations.  All poses are adjustable and can save your settings. Land impact of 14. ... Other pieces in the settings are the Kumotori Bath house with purple orchid. I tweaked the textures on it to remove all symbols on the rice paper. The Madpeas bonsai to the right is from the past round of The Arcade. Outside is the Enchanted Pond by Studio Skype and the Dysfunctional Designs Fenghuang Statue.

Now a little more about what we are wearing. Aarya returns to BishieStyleSL for a cameo as the vampiress who created the Cursed A.N.G.E.L. I wish her a speedy recovery from surgery and hopefully she can return to blogging soon. Her outfit is by Barerose, hair by Truth, skin by Glam Affair, and pet Shiro is a gacha by Aii. ... You'll have to forgive me for mixing styles here. The Ao Dai by Barerose comes with pants, but who needs those? *throws away* lol Besides, look at these excellent shoes by BOOM. They have a materials' suede look to them you can see in advanced lighting. They are sale at Collabor88 for only 88L and come in girls and guys and many colors options. The Runaway hair Darcy is from Manga Fair. I love the bangs, and though it's meant for girls, it works perfectly on the guys too! The smoking pipe is fun older item by Rozoregells and it contains several poses with the pipe, like I used above. The dark headdress is from Latex Web and was past gift. I combined it with the TAMA Japanese Lantern hairsticks from a past Genre round. The pearl necklace is from Monster and has several strands. It comes with a resize script. The arm wraps are by Dark Prophet Designs from a past Fantasy Gacha. ... ok, I will be bringing you more of the ongoing story from Cursed A.N.G.E.L, and more great things from ROMP!

World Goth Fair: The 101st Flying Bats

(click to enlarge)

STORYLINE: Thunder was reassigned from the Deathhead Scouts on the suspicion of helping the Rebellion. He was of course found innocent, but still was forbidden from ever leaving Cursed again. He made the best of his new command of Curse's Air Force, The Flying Bats. Patrolling the skies during the big World Goth Day event was the most excitement he's had in a year. He listened intensely as the 101st reported an attempted kidnapping of Elizabeth, the little sister of the Rebellion's Leader. Would the kidnapping be thwarted by the land troops, or would Cursed be proven to be unsafe for humans?

I have some awesome things to show you elegant vamps. Is this furniture great or what? The Gothic steampunk chair and ottoman are by Ravenghost and you can still scoop it up on sale until May 31 at We <3 Role Play. The gothic arch chair has multiple sits for guys and girls, will rez wine glasses, books, and cigars and automatically attach it to you! The pillows will also change textures. Love it!  The matching ottoman comes a pose for the guy and girls. Behind me is the badass Ravenghost floor Candelabra. You change touch it to change the metal colors. Next to it is the Graphic Chair with bat art by Bauwerk available at World Goth Fair. To the left of me is Bauwerk's Amber lamp. The lamp is mod so I switched the lamp's amber to a water alpha and added a glow. The skybox is once more the amazing cool The Chatham Loft by Trompe Loeil that I have living in since it was released. lol. I love how it has materials and projectors built right into it. Okay, you want to know a little more about what I am wearing? Well, I brought back my character the Deadhead Scout Thunder from last year's World Goth Fair. Some of the things I used are still available but not all. I put this outfit together while the Fantasy Faire was still running. I went to find the 62 Jacket this morning at BOOM's mainstore, but I didn't see it. I hope it will be added later. The jacket is great and comes with a hud to change the colors on buttons, tie pin, vest, collar, and shirt. My new vampire ears I also picked up at the Fantasy Faire, you find them at Trap mainstore now. The ears have a hud to scale the size, edit the main skincolor, highlight, shadow, and ear tip glow.

World Goth Fair: The Vampire Squids

(click to enlarge)

STORYLINE: The Elders were worried for the safety of the visiting humans during the celebration of World Goth Day. Patrolling the sea would be the Navy of Cursed, The Vampire Squids.  

Time is running out to scoop up the awesomeness. Over at We <3 Role Play can you get this excellent Nick Belt Coat outfit from FATEplay for 25% off in white or midnight colors, and the Dueling Gloves. The gloves come with a color hud, and the ability to have hands open, closed, long cuff (like I used above), or short. The Vampire Squid is wearing an AMAZING skin by Pink Fuel that that fills all your Drow needs for both girls, femboys, and guys. It has tintable eyebrows and every applier you will ever need! (Slink hands/feet, Lola, Lush, Puffi, loud mouth, phat/cuteazz, ghetto booty. wowmeh, and perkies) Femboys might have already have tried and worn the Pink Fuels skins but those of you new to this let me explain how it works. You wear the normal girl skin, than choose either Boi or Athletic Boy tattoo later. This replaces the female breast and groin with a male version. What you end up with a lovely angelic male. This means the skin can be worn on either a male or female base avatar. If you want to give it a try, check out the demo! For the image above, I am wearing my normal male shape, but I have used the Boi version of Pink Fuels on male-on-female-base in the past.  This new Drow series is even better then the past Boi styles! Contraption has a cool helmet at We <3 RolePlay that's great for wearing while shoving coal in your steam submarine engine, or just decorating your unground lair and looking cool! On the wall is a Steam Furnace from Ravenghost. The detail and style of his work is wonderful. In the gacha area of WLRP, his Steampunk Luminaires has returned! I was so happy to see it was back and gave it another try. Good thing I did because I won the rare! Woot! From the Fantasy Gacha, is the mesh Victory boots for men by Yasum. Don't miss these! From World Goth Fair, I am wearing a cool light red to purple hair color from the Declan hair for men by Damselfly. While you are there, be sure to pick up the free Damselfly gift for men and women. The red-orange wingback chair comes from the WGF Salon Set by Nacht. It comes with matching couch, chair, and table and it's a 50% donation. To the left is the Graphic Chair Octopus by Bauwerk. It's editable mesh so I gave the chair a tint to match my color theme. I did something even more crazy with Bauwerk's nice Gothic Gazebo, I combined it with the Skybox by Trompe Loeil! Each section of the Gazebo is editable. It's really beautiful on its own but if you need to, you can also transform it like I did!

World Goth Fair: Dissension

(click to enlarge)

STORYLINE: Not everyone loved the idea of humans and Darks intermingling for one day a year. The foremost critic of this new policy was none other than the creator of penal colony himself, Kaiser Kruel. Despite his protest, the event was moving forward so he sent out his righthand man to do his dirty work. Gin was delighted with the task. As fabulous as he looked, he was just as vicious. There was nothing Gin loved more than breaking wayward Darks who didn't appreciate the infinite wisdom of Kaiser Kruel.

Glamtastic Gin returns by request to rock fashions made for both guys and girls. The fun Madhatter hat with spider comes from Mitternacht outfit by the Avatar Bizarre. The jacket is Avatar Bizarre's Panzermensch. Gin is getting away with wearing the strappy pants for girls from Endorphin. And his boots are also for girls from the Little Bat's gacha Axi Boots. His Dracula half-rimmed glasses are by Eclectica. His fangs and fangs jewels are by [ni.Ju]. Gloves with materials by Fatewear. His favorite shirt is KC No.53 by Kyoko Couture, and skin Noctis by Tableau Vivant. His poor victim's style card is on the Dark Phantom blog post: The Crimson Ruler, but I can tell you her purse is Pipistrello by Bliensen + MaiTai with little bat charms on the string, and the pose I used for her comes the Gacha Pond Love Bites vampire poses by NanTra. (I won them all expect that elusive pose #2. *grumbles*) Now let's talk about this cool scenery! The lordly black Chtuluh chair is by bauwerk and comes with a collection of single poses. Behind the chair is a gigantic mesh black marble Oblodisk with red flowers. Love it! It comes with and without lighting,. To the side is the Cthulhu Urn by Nacht. For this picture, I used the Gentleman's Cane by Chaos, Panic and Disorder, but if you head over to the CPD booth at WGF you can pick up skull headed Ripper's Walking Stick.
