Gothmas: The Ghost of Jacob Marley

(click to enlarge)

STORYLINE: Christmas Eve 1836, Jacob Marley,  the wealthy banking partner of Ebenezer Scrooge, was rushing home ahead of a freak blizzard. A homeless man caught out in the open tried to flag him down for help. Rather than stop to give aid, Marley commanded the carriage onward. The desperate man made a sudden move to jump onto the back of the carriage. The horses were spooked, bolted wildly, and slipped on the ice. The carriage fell over London Bridge and crashed into the Thames river. Marley had no friends other than Scrooge. No one noticed he was missing Christmas Day. His body was later discovered entombed in the ice. Now his ghost is condemned forever to walk the Earth weighed down by the chains of selfishness and greed.

It's time to explore the darkside of the biggest holiday of the year with a dash of Victorian elegance, and wink at the wicked. The stellar World Goth Fair gang returns with another fantastic event Gothmas by Gaslight. It's 2 sims of gothic goodness: adult sim Cursed, and moderate sim Sium. Check out the giant list of participating stores: Gothmas Merchant List. Event runs until January 5th.

Now let me tell you a little more about this outfit. The chains and shackles are part of a slave silk set for men by Soedara on sale at We <3 Role Play. The chains that connect the wrists to the ankles are actually a particles effect and it works pretty good following your movements. The suit is all one piece in mesh by Fuubutsu Dou at Gothmas. It's a cool design of a half jacket half vest, with straps on the sleeve, and I love the Victorian style drape at the foot. The bowtie is a separate attachment. This sweet cane is in a gacha by Chaos, Panic, and Disorder and it's 25L a spin at Gothmas. The hair by Ayashi for men comes with cute antlers and you can get it at that RMK Frost Fair. Just click the vendor to scroll through the color packs. The hair is non rigged and can scale xyz. The lantern by LISP is really nice and comes with a pose. You can win it at the current round of The Arcade. The gold eyes are the current group gift at Ikon.

The Demise of Ludovico Sinistrati

(click to enlarge)

STORYLINE: Ludovico Sinistrati was the inventor of the INCUBUS steam-class robots. As brilliant and wealthy as he was, he was deeply flawed. There wasn't a single living soul he actually liked. He was obsessed with creating a "better human" from gears and bolts; a friend who would always agree with him and do his bidding without complaint. So warped was his mind, that his idea of a romantic evening involved blindfolds, cages, and metallic paint. No matter what humiliating acts the ambitious silver-painted lady endured to win his favor, he simply trusted his robots more. 

There's a hat trick of awesomeness happening right now: Sinister Steam Hunt 3, Fantasy Gacha, and We <3 Role Play August. There are so many cool things, you will definitely be inspired. I know I was! In the image above, The skybox and gun turret for freebies from the Sinister Steam Hunt. The Gun Turret by Land of  Nodd can rez, derez, and follow the movements of anyone close-by, or you can lock  it in place.  The skybox by Potpourri Designs is stuffed with goodies. I used the Lair of Plotting Dastardly Deeds skybox, and I love the music box of spooky organ music to get you in the mood for Dastardly Deeds. lol Fantasy Gacha is wonderful. High quality original mesh items for low gacha prices. For example, a harness from Dark Prophet Designs will cost you 400L. Take a change on the Gacha and it will only cost you 75L. The rare include chains. At the sweet sales in We <3 Role Play August round, the Double Hanging Cage by Roawenwood comes with a nice set of animations that will pose both cages at the same time. The Silks by Soedara, which the Silver Lady is wearing, is made in mesh and comes with a really cool mask headdress. The chains that connect the wrist to the ankle are a particule effect. The metal scale poetic shirt by the Bastard is the clothing debut of the well respected designer of Rustica. The shirt is draped realistically across the body, it's a perfect fit, I dont even need an alpha unless I bend far forward. It has gorgeous detailed texture and includes metallic materials!

STORYLINE: So what happens when the creation of a diabolic genius suddenly becomes self aware without a drop of human compassion? ... Murder is what. It was a week after the INCUBUS' insurrection when neighbors complained about a bad smell. Still perched on Sinistrati's body was his favorite pet, the SpiderBot. It was an eyewitness to the brutal murder but being a simple robot, the police overlooked it and began a manhunt for the "real" killer, the Silver Lady.

Is this barber chair cool or what?  It's by Noctis and very much in the flavor of Sweeney Todd. Love it! It comes with optional gears for the chair, a mirror, a side table and shaving bowl, and the posters on the wall. You can pick it up in the Sinister Steam Hunt. The coat I am wearing is the new Dante by Fatewear. I love this so much. It has leather materials, also comes with a shirt and tie. My shoulder pet, the Steam Spider and Mask are by Black Pearls at the Fantasy Gacha. There is so much awesome stuff there, Run do it before it ends on the 21st! In the background, you can see a nice coat rack by Aisling. It's from the new Cheapies section at We <3 Role Play. The hair is a dollarbie at Discord Designs.
