WINTERS HALLOW: Fear is for the winter

(click to enlarge)

“Oh, my sweet summer child, what do you know of fear? Fear is for the winter, ...when the snows fall a hundred feet deep. Fear is for the long night, when the sun hides its face for years at a time, and little children are born and live and die all in darkness. ... Thousands of years ago, there came a night that lasted a generation. Kings froze to death in their castles, same as the shepherds in their huts. And women smothered their babies rather than see them starve, and wept, and felt the tears freeze on their cheeks. ...In that darkness the White Walkers came for the first time. They swept through cities and kingdoms riding their dead horses, hunting with their packs of pale spiders, big as hounds.” - Old Nan, Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin

Who here is hyped for the final season of Game of Thrones? Me me me me!  I was inspired make a Whitewalker for this post by the awesome Deadly Nightshare Nityr's Staff on sale at the appropriately dark Winter's Hallow. It throws out some badass effects in mesh and particles, and you can send your friends flying off the sim with a good blast. hahaha Good times. Winter's Hallow is packed with dark and pagen winter items, and there are gifts under the tree, and hunt prizes too! You can see all the hunt prizes here:

Also shown above are a new Talon claws by Contraption at equal10. They were updated for Belleza Jake 2 too. They come with a hud to change the textures. Also shown by Contraption is the Ice Beast mesk and horns. To see just how cool it looks with its icey materials, turn on advanced lighting and have at least one local light. For some more ice, I used Izzie's body glitter tattoo over the beautiful Fallen Gods' Winter Nymph texture for men. I love the color of it! The rest of my Whitewalker outfit items are the PFC Iron Arms, and imho the best kilt for men on the grid, Cult's Male kilt with boots. it comes with a texture hud for the kilt and boots, black, denim and grey. The setting is a brand new hallway prop by CerberusXing on sale at another great dark themed event, Eclipse. .. Stay warm, Sweet Summer Children. Winter is coming....

Home & Garden Expo Design contest: Astronaut's House

Expo Contest House #2: Astronaut House by Devin Vaughn
http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Home%20Expo%206/201/210/23

You guys remember the "Linden Home Challenge" I did for Prim Perfect magazine? I have some awesome news, the idea has sparked a great fundraiser event for this year's Home and Garden Expo, -- a Decorating Competition! The challenge is: Decorate one of 6 homes for prizes in 4 days, with less than 500 prims, and including 3 Relay for Life donation items from the Expo. The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners are determined by votes paid with Ls for the best designs. All the money from the home design votes goes to Relay for Life! You can read more about it here: decorating-competition. I love how this contest embodies the spirit of the event. Of course, I had to jump in, and I was lucky to get drawn to decorate a house, the Eco IV by Maven Homes.

Drop by to see all the houses, and vote for the ones you like before noon today! Its for a good cause!

STORYLINE: The owner is not actually an Astronaut, but people always refer to his house as the "Astronaut House." ("NASA Rover Engineer House" doesn't have the same ring to it.) The owner worked on the Mars Rover Curiosity team. All his family and baby pictures are of the rover! His new project is to design a people mover for the human mission to Mars in 2030.  JPL is not too far from his home, so he loves to commute to work in an old 50s experimental Flying Platform.

Even birds aren't scared of her, they often land on her back for a free ride. And his dog Cosmo is forever looking outside for a rare sighting of the mysterious Pizza Rat).

Club Scorpion: Come for the poison, Stay for the sting

(click to enlarge)

STORYLINE: The newest member of the police force was young enough to still believe it was possible to take out of the trash of Insilco. He quietly pondered the meaning of the blinking neon sign above his latest undercover assignment: “Club Scorpion, come for the poison, stay for the sting.” He squirmed. The tight shorts he wore had ventured into unwelcome places. “Detective Hotpants,” his fellow investigators joked. “Its perfect. No way will Kujo pass up on that.” …Kujo, he sighed to himself. There was no way the Cyber Mafia leader was not involved in the current explosion of missing persons. Every single one of the missing had been to this club, and every single one of them had been invited to Kujo’s not-so-secret pleasure room. He had a bad feeling about this, but crime doesn’t solve itself. So he adjusted his outfit one more time, took a deep breath, and walked inside.

ROMP is back this May, and among the many goodies are some cyber gems. The bed by Violetility comes in several colors choices to match your scifi lair. The fun Scorpion chair is by Since 1975. I thought a few of the items from this round lend themselves well for some genderbending. The collar and blindfold are by Bliensen + MaiTai, the IHeartF&Co hotpants, and Dirty Princess boots all work great for femboy style. This fun cyber skybox by CREATiCA is currently for sale for a promo cost of 99L.

Fantasy Faire: The Healing Pool of Nienna

(click to enlarge)

STORYLINE: The air was still as the sky lightened from blackest night to a more friendly color of pale blue and purple. Only the sound of great swooping wings disturbed the peace of the scared pool of Nienna. As the Guardian of South Gate splashed gently down to scoop up its healing waters, he heard horns blowing the alarm in the distance, -- the Unweaver had been spotted in the Fairelands.
