Gothmas: Nicoli The All Seeing

(click to enlarge)

STORYLINE: After 1,600 years, what the world thinks about it’s immortal hero of Christmas differs from the one who inspired the myth. Famous for his philanthropy in the 4th century Byzantine Anatolia, why is Noble Elder Nicoli's power one of the most feared? Could it be the children's song is true? "He knows when you are sleeping. He knows when you're awake. He knows if you’ve been bad or good, so be good for goodness sake.”

He's making a list and checking it twice on the Baron Von Scarlet's Secretary desk by Noctis which you can pick up over at Gothmas sim Cursed. The picture frame, also by Noctis, comes from the Fortune Teller set. Nicoli is wearing a fantastic outfit Icabod by Harm's Way at Gothmas. To change the collar texture touch it, and choose "more" to scroll for more choices, then "touch" which will bring up the blue menu. The Hat by Harm's Way also changes textures for the hat fabric, hat band, playing card, and feather. The shades have a cool style with side lens, and it can also change colors. Gothmas event ends January 5th, so there is still time to go look at all the cool things there. The skin is a group gift from Tableau Vivant and includes an albino bearded version, plus new a new hairstyle for girls and guys with all the color huds included. To get it, head to the Tableau Vivant store, wear your group tag, and touch the box on the counter. The group is free to join for a limited time, so sign up you guys!

One Hell of a Butler

(click to enlarge)

There is something suspicious about that butler... I wonder what it is?

Ayashi released the new non-rigged mesh hair for men, Sebastian, I knew I had to try and see what I could come up with for a demon butler. The hair comes with X,Y, Z resize script for the perfect fit, and a color set hud. Ayashi has a new store at RMK Gothic! You can find it in the Dark Town section of the sim. Adding an elegant, yet studious, feel is the Angela Glasses by AIR.  You can touch it and change the frame color and the gem stones. The off the shoulder rigged coat is by DIRAM. An alpha hides your arms, and has two fake hands attached to the upper thigh. It comes with a color hud to change the skintone, but I went with a white glove look. The coat in many different colors, I choose a nice English tweed. The vest, shirt, collar and tie are included. The pocketwatch is mesh by House of Rain and has detail of tiny skulls and garnet. The pants are from the Smith suit set by Fatewear. The gloves in the close up are also by Fatewear and include materials that photographed here beautifully. Skin Noctis by Tableau Vivant you can find at the Boystown location. These awesome red eyes are by Aii. I swapped the shirt under the vest with SF Designs' because it had the tuxedo style I was looking for, and also, it's the best free tux in SL, imho. My favorite shiny shiny dress shoes are by PixelFashion. The candelabra I got the October Collabor88, but you can find it at the main store now. Touch the candle to change the color cream, teal, mead, black magic, royal, or brandy. Flames are particles. And my lastly, my current gothic abode is the Ivy Tower by Poetica.

Madpeas: The Lennon Park Massacre

(click to enlarge)

STORYLINE: Summer Camp was supposed to be fun. But people went missing. At first it was only one camper, then another, and another. It didn't take much brains to know there was foul play. That night, Dave was woken by his dog's warning bark. If it weren't for his trusty dog, he would have been a goner for sure! A heavy tree almost hit him in his sleep. Someone chopped that tree down on purpose to fall on top of his tent. He was lucky he got only a few bumps and bruises.

Lots to talk about in this one. First, if you haven't done it already, go get yourself a HUD and play the newest Madpeas game. I had a blast with this one. The bonus prize hunt in the BackPacks was also fun. For more information and prize pictures, go to Madpeas.

Participating stores are:

22769 Casual Couture, Abranimations, Bentham Forest  Boudoir, Co*Motion, Eclectica  The Elegant Goth, Les Sucreries, Lindsey Warwick, Liquid Candy, Love zombie, Michigans  Shack, Noctis, Paper Moon, Sage, United InshCon, Vivid, Warbugs

Just go to the reception counter and look for the group gift box. Wear group tag. Touch and receive. I am wearing the Tableau Vivant skin above.  Love it!  The hair I am wearing is the new Tableau Vivant hair with beanie release at Collabor88. The rigged boots are by J's and have a hud to change the shape at the top. The arm warmers are by Shi and The Arcade. (Don't hate me, I won this Rare on the first spin. Lucky day!) Puppy is wearing Akita by Bakemonoya. This is one of the best of dog avatars I have seen in SL and adorable too. Nice AO. I had so much fun chasing after Puppy during the Lennon Park hunt.

The Eclipse Incident: Night Clan

(click to enlarge)

STORYLINE: As it has always been, the Night Clan stirs when darkness falls over the land. 

If you haven't already picked up the deals at We <3 Role Play, hurry. The August round ends on the 31st. I'm wearing an outfit by Kahli Desgins that can be worn on girls, guys, and even males on female base. The mesh attachements can be edited for a good fit. The outfit includes a lionhead shield and sword. Check out these fun mesh demon hands by Death Row. They are not rigged and have a X,Y,Z resize script. It includes a black glove layer to help blend the demon hand into your skin. Two items shown above I got at the Fantasy Gacha, the pink dragon shoulder pet by Candy Crunchers, and the horns I have on by Aisling. The Candy Horns our lovely Moon Maiden is wearing are from the cheapie section on We <3 Role Play and come in several colors. The gown is from Fateplay and can be worn without or without sleeves. There is a very nice lacing detail on the back of the gown. Both Night Clanners are wearing Fallen Gods skins currently on sale at WLRP. Both come in male and female versions. The poses and the summoning circle are from set kit by Chanimations that includes 5 poses, and a particle special effect for each hand in several colors. For the purpose of image, I made my own FX in postproduction.

We Love Role Play: A MidSummer's Dollmare

(click to enlarge)

"What a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive." - Sir Walter Scott

Many good things to talk about in this image. First is this is a truly beautiful male mesh Ball Joint Doll avatar by Coco. The figure uses default avatar's rigging, so you can edit the shape to suit your taste, or try to make it fit in normal mesh clothes like I did above. The rigged boots by Lassitude and Ennui are a perfect match for DollCoco's size. The elegant boot pant from Tableau Vivant also works perfectly. The rich cool red quilted tunic by the Muses is on sale over at We Love Role Play right now. For the waist, I combined two belts: the mesh kilt belt by A:S:S and one of my favorite belts by Sey. I get many compliments on this demon blindfold by BjD, it's just so badass. It comes with a color hud. The wings are by Illusions, they can texture change and come with spread wings too. Double the fun with Magika using two hairs to create romantic elfish style. The katana sword has materials and is free from BareRose. The surreal Donkeys are from Medieval Fantasy Hunt at United InshCon. And get this, they actually poop gold. That's right, you will be wanting to feed these babies a lot of hay, a better quality hay gives you better bullions. *makes jokes* lol  The skybox is in the Midsummer's Night Dream theme with paintings of the play. Its the new subscription gift by Isovii. Doll pose by Muschi, strings by Anara.

World Goth Fair: The Spyder Web

(click to enlarge)

STORYLINE: High above the reveling crowds of World Goth Fair, Viscountess Spyder straightened her back. "What's wrong?" her husband asked. "I'm not sure." Her brow knitted together as she stretched out her senses along her nearly invisible web. Her threads were spun throughout the eternally dark city. If anything was amiss, she would be the first to know. "A human girl. Among the population. I'm sure of it now." Viscount Spyder scoffed, "That's impossible. I sense nothing. Do not worry, come sit." He padded an open spot for her on the lounge. "No human can enter Cursed."

I'm feeling a little bit Gomez Addams in this brocade and pinstripe Shadowdancing suit by Inspired Designs. The outfit comes with matching shoes and top hat. This wonderful gothic umbrella is one of several designs you can win from Gacha Carousel at Cursed. The fuzzy Cheshire chair is by Nawty Box and it is indeed nawty. Mrs Spyder is wearing an outfit by MV that comes with flexi skirt, mesh corset, neck corset, top, pants, gloves, and Lola Tango applier. The setting of this picture is taken inside The Temple by Nacht. The roof is large purple stain glass rosetta, and the outside has gothic arches and spires. For the outside view, I made panoramic from the Venexia sim. There's still time to head down to World Goth Fair, enjoy the music, get great gothic items, and help raise money for S.o.p.h.i.e. For more information go to: http://worldgothfair.wordpress.com Fair ends May 31st, noon SL.

News Event: Fantasy Faire

(click to enlarge)

Fantasy Faire is an awe inspiring charity event for the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life. 12 breath taking sims. Each stuffed full of cool items for sale. Silent and live auctions. And get this, there is even a MadPeas hunt, the Key of Hope Hunt. Even if fantasy is not your thing, you have to see it. Trust me on this on one. You'll met some nice people there, but the Faire lasts only one week. Yes you heard that right, all these amazing builds and it ends so soon like a butterfly that lives only a few days. Fantasy Faire ends April 28.

On the picture above. I am wearing one of the two outfits for sale at Fantasy Faire by FateWear. It's a total outfit including the boots and comes with or without the cloak. Wasabi pills has released a cool new long hair style for men at the Faire. The eyes I am wearing are a new release at the Gallery Gift Shop from Tableau Vivant. These eyes have an otherworldly look, perfect for Fantasy characters. The bow and arrow is by GTS. It can shoot a poison, smoke, or flaming arrow, set your friends on fire in a fire trap. It also shoots a grappling hook. Once the arrow is embedded into whatever you wish to scale, you grab the rope and shimmy on up. Wicked cool. GTS is also at the Fantasy Faire. And I have for tip for you too, there are even some great freebies at their main store: the Daredevil Bow, Holy Sword, and Short and Long Kilt.

On the inset pictures, you can see the wizard outfit also by Fatewear. The next two pictures are from Garden of Dreams. The Airship is 32 prim and flyable! Normally priced 1500L, on sale at the faire for 200L. And the library is a set I have been drooling on. When I saw it was for sale at the fair for only 400L when it's normally 2500L, I zipped over there really fast! lol The next picture shows free skins at the fair for male and female in two colors. If the sims are laggy, wear those and giggle about being almost nude as you steak through the forests. Have fun Streakers!
