You will also see the following shops set up here: amiable, ASO! & Soothe, CerberusXing, Cheeky Pea, Contraption, Free Bird, Moon Amore, NYU, pr!tty & what next. While it is a shopping sim, it is also a beautiful sim to wander around, taking pictures and just enjoying the landscape.

I’m sure you remember the Wayward Carnival back in July? What a great event and an awesome venue for photos! Wayward Halloween is the next big event planned for October, but they will also be adding Markets with rotating designers in the months between the major events. It is an exciting shopping concept, so now is a great time to head over to the sim and check it out!

For more information on Wayward Events, here’s a list of ways you can keep up with what is going on.

Fractured Dreams & Broken Cars

If you ever actually read my credits, you’ll notice that junk. is a frequent flyer in my photos. Not just in the sets I build for photography; Tab Tatham and EvanKeel’s work grace my home in every room. It is not just the style of furnishings and knickknacks that draw my eye – it is the attention to detail, the fabulous textures and imaginative products that make my shabby little heart go pitty-pat-thump.

A couple of weeks ago, junk. moved to a new sim. They were in the process of moving when I was dying to get my hands on their “The poor gentleman’s club shed.” Of course, I had to wait until the new sim opened, so with the eagerness of a child I rushed over as soon as I could on opening day. I got my shed, but so much more…

The sim is a wonder for a “things” lover like me. You can easily forget that you are at a store; it is an incredible venue just for wandering and taking photos. Which I did that day…I wandered, I took photos, I squee’d at their stuff, old and new, I bought more things and had just a wonderful time. It is a fabulous destination and even more so in that you can take the pretties home with you.

To celebrate their grand opening, junk. sponsored a photo contest of images of their sim. After consultation with Rwah (who was right; the original photo was too purple!) I entered the photo above. And to my shock and surprise, I won second place! It was really nice to receive cash as an award, but more importantly, I felt pride that I was able to capture the essence of Tab and Evan’s sim.

Fractured dreams, broken cars and beauty among the castoffs.

No Duck Face Required

1 Selfie

I did a bit of shopping at Kustom9 the other night, then jumped over to Purple Crayons. My intention was to wander around a bit, visit some of the photo galleries/studios there and wait to see if Rwah or Thorn were going to log on. I found myself at Thorn’s gallery (check out his Flickr and blog; they’re amazing!), oohing and ahhing over his photos, sitting on his box, clicking his camera, and generally immersing myself in his place. I then headed out, planning to hang around for a while. As I turned left out of his storefront, I saw a familiar photo on an old, flickering TV.

I plopped down on the conveniently-located bench and waited for the channel to change. When it didn’t, and nobody had shown up, I decided this was the perfect opportunity for a Selfie, without having to use a bathroom mirror.

No duck face required.
