Linden Home Challenge 2: Halloween

(click to enlarge)

Coming soon is the newest Linden Home Challenge in the fall issue of Prim Perfect magazine. What is the Linden Home Challenge? Simply put: Decorate a Linden home with budget of only 117 prim and have cost no more then 1500L. Sure it's hard, but not as impossible as you might think! This time the Linden Home Challenge takes place in an Elfin tree home in the Fantasy Lands of Elderglen. And not to make it too easy, a twist was added for a Halloween theme. My solution was the question, "What if vampires lived in trees?" Inside the issue I give tips and tricks on how you can make a Linden home look beautiful and do it on a tight budget. The new issue of Prim Perfect will be out soon, don't miss it!

Dolls of Christmas: Japan

(click to enlarge)

Secondlife makes it possible meet and grow close to many people around the world, even those who dont speak the same language! With the help of translators and being able to "show" instead of "tell," it becomes possible to communicate in ways text based social networks can't. This Christmas I would like to celebrate the season by honoring my friends and their Christmas Traditions.

First up are the clever, ambitious, and talented folks from RMK Gothic who named their new Christmas Tailcoat after me. I feel humbled and amazed! They tell me many interesting things about Christmas in Japan. The biggest surprise is Kentucky Fried Chicken. They must make a reservation for their Christmas KFC chicken months in advance! It's just not Christmas in Japan without the Colonel.

Frost Fair RMK Gothic

(click to enlarge)

As the planet warms slowly year after year, Jack Frost is under a lot of pressure. When asked to stretch his icy claw and freeze the Thames once more, he agrees in an unusually warm gesture of goodwill. What could cause this sudden Christmas spirit in his frigid heart?

RMK Gothic celebrates the holiday season by bringing back a piece of history. During the Little Ice Age of the 17th century and 18th century, the Thames River froze in the heart of London. People took advantage of this usual event and created a shopping festival on the river called the Frost Fair. At the RMK Gothic Frost Fair, you can buy many new and limited edition products as well as score some nice freebies. Participating Stores are:
