Autumn Comes

Image PeepSideshow Darkward2 Comments

While I have been doing the credits for this post, the hour has grown later on Friday in Second Life. My apologies, but that means you have just a short while to get to the {what next} main store to pick up one of two autumn-themed boxes. One contains various versions of the lovely wreath I am displaying. The other holds decorative mini trees, leaves and welcome mats. Winter Thorn does autumn beautifully, so do go check out these fabulous bargains.

Speaking of bargains, Kean Kelly of [ keke ] has released recolours of one of my very favourite items ever: the rainy day table lamp. This weekend only, they are available at the main store for only 50L. I am showing the orange, but it also comes in black, white and purpur (a gorgeous pinkish-purple). At that price, there is no reason not to get all four! While you are there, go ahead and browse. Her store is one of those where you walk in to buy one thing and come out with your partner’s arms full, a U-Haul filled and your wallet happily empty.

However, you may want to hang onto a few Lindens for Shiny Shabby, which opens on September 20. There you will find [ keke ]’s Nirvana set. The complete set contains 34 pieces of wonder. From chairs to poufs, to decorative cards to incense, you will have to have them all. I’ll be showing you more of this set in the next few days, but trust me – you will waiting in anticipation for the event to open.

And then there is The Liaison Collaborative which remains open until September 30th. I am featuring a variety of gacha prizes from Serenity Style, Bee Designs and [Black Tulip] plus the gorgeous desk from [ zerkalo ], all from this round of TLC. While there are still a couple of weeks before the event closes, your best bet is to go now so you don’t forget!

Finally, the September round of Luxe Box released earlier today, and as always, it is full of stunning items. I love the fashion, but to me the real stars are the Kaelyn Pleiades Cabin from Scarlet Creative and the evelyn daybed from tarte.. Put everything together and you have the perfect, cozy cabin, ready for when autumn comes.

Nicki Remembers

PeepSideshow Darkward1 Comment

As soon as I tried on these panties, I had the lyrics to “Darling Nikki” by Prince running through my head and I just had to grind! Of course, I can’t do it quite like I used to, so this photo was taken as I was panting and desperately trying to recover.

The panties are actually magic; they have been designed to work with every skirt by Just BECAUSE from the end of July into the future. Currently, Annie Melson provides two versions of her skirts – one without panties and one with them in-built. This new pair gives you the option of adding them whenever you want to, without having to have two versions of the same skirt in your inventory. They come in a fatpack only, but there are 75 textures in the HUD, so you’ll be able to match any skirt she releases. And, they’re amazing just by themselves!

And everyone knows, when you’re grinding in your knickers, you’ve got to have long, lustrous hair to swing with you. The Lina hair by [NANI] from the July round of BishBox fits the bill and is even swept back, keeping your face free of those annoying flyaways.

The final piece to the puzzle is a pair of sexy come-get-me sandals, provided by fri.day. These sexy heels are available at the birthday round of Uber and definitely give your calves that stretch you need for the perfect strut.

After getting your groove on, you can just recline in a becoming manner and remember those words:

Come back Nikki, come back
Your dirty little Prince
Wants to grind grind grind grind grind grind grind grind grind

Lu Is Back!

PeepSideshow Darkward2 Comments

After a hiatus from creating in Second Life, Luana Dawg is back with her brand, Kuro. I have missed Lu’s quirky style and I am thrilled to see she has returned with a rebuild of her Microapartment. It is a cozy, two-room build with lovely detail. I am hoping this is just the first of many great things to come.

[ keke ] also has released recolours of her Gustavian console table and the lovely refurbished spring drawer, which was originally found in the February Deco(c)rate subscription box. They work well together or of course, on their own. They are available at her main store, along with a lot of the other things you can see in the photo, so do a little browsing when you stop in to pick up these goodies. In addition, she has created the spring sprout set for the Mad Easter Egg Hunt. I haven’t done this hunt, but it is a collective hunt with more prizes released the more people play and find eggs. Check out the link for full details.

The Liaison Collaborative should be open by the time I publish this post. The theme of “Rainy Days” is perfect for April and there are loads of showery-themed pretties at the event, including these from Serenity Style and Sway’s. Stop by for your April gear, and don’t forget your umbrella!
