Thanks, Coral!

The evil twins do Free*style?

[18:31] scrim Pinion: you two is done up like a couple cupcakes.

Mourna and I set ourselves a goal for this set of eeevil twin pictures (more of these are over here at my blog). "Let's try for an outfit of freebies," I suggested. We did pretty well -- the expensive items are the boots for 40L from House of Curios, but they're dirt cheap for a color-changing pair o' boots.

I admit that I was inspired for this post by the 0L Nyanotech hair from Curious Kitties. If you have the hud, the 0L hair is completely color-changing; I bought the 700L hud (35 colors!) and the four 0L hairs, and instantly had four hairs of 35 colors each for 700L, more or less. The hud works on the rest of the Nyanotech hair too, so it's well worth a splurge.

The green corset happened when I bugged Terry to tell me where I could find two cheap vaguely gothy dresses in different colors. "Oh -- Dilly Dolls," she said, and she was right. We poked about on XStreet for the skirt and shirt under that, and the fur coat was a happy find at Curio Obscura while I was picking up the hat. (Note: there are 'steampunk stockings' there too for free; turn your legs into an animatron's!) The skins don't match exactly, but they're from Frick and amazing for 0L / 5L each. Happy bargain hunting, and check out the beautiful Mourna at her blog over here.

First Photos of the "New Victoria"

The first photos of Bryce Howard after Summit's announcement of her as Victoria in Eclipse - looks like she's gone a more "firey" red!

Play nicely, fellow TwiCrack Addicts - we're all Team Twilight!

P.s. Personally, I think she would've made a great Tanya... I wonder if Rachelle could make a cameo in that part? If not, I'm still voting Evan Rachel Wood!

RPattz's Car Up For Grabs? Finders keepers! ;)

Dude, where's my car?!
Robert Pattinson has lost his car.

The 'Twilight' actor Robert Pattinson can't recall where he left the vehicle, despite it being incredibly important to him, after his hectic filming and travelling schedule left him disorganized.

He is reported as saying: "I don't even remember where I left my car. It's probably been towed away by now.

"It's upsetting because it was the first car I ever bought. It made me feel like a man, buying a car."

Rob, if it's anything based on this pic, then I suggest looking for an Everest shaped mass of post-its/scrap-paper and start digging :) ... Good luck with that!

It's probably worth looking into - if the wrong fan girl gets there first, there's going to be some scary cloning attempts occurring.

Making Heidi's Hair Sparkle in the Sun???

In what would otherwise be a boring article, we find an interesting nugget of potential New Moon news! Nylon has a little article about Noot Seear's New Moon make-up:
For Twilight's second installment, Michael was asked to take vampire Heidi - played by NYLON model Noot Seear - and make her hair sparkle in the sun.

Michael managed the task without drawing blood, thanks to Shu Uemura's Full Shimmer collection, which somehow infuses locks of hair with a spooky, sexy glimmer - perfect for a vampire whose special talent is "creating illusions of someone's desires."
Inneresting! We'll see what happens. :-)

Thanks, Ali!

WHAT IS THAT?

That is me, well not me, sort of me.

Confused?

I've recently made myself a Store Alt. It was getting really hard to be in as many projects, have all my satellite shops, my advertising groups and my own store groups. All in all it left me with 3 groups for my personal use and one open, some of the time. Most times I'm just grouped right out. A few fellow designers told me to start up a store alt. I mean we all have alts, I have 2 others, so I cap out at 4 now, but this girl was just for the store. It's a lovely idea.

So here she is, trapped in a cage at Tuli. A good place for any new avatar. I was checking to see if Tuli had released her new Resident packs yet.

Now as a Free*Style Blogger, I couldn't get past the idea of doing a big ass under 30 days hunt, my list I use to have is so old, it no longer really applies, there was like 3 shops that still had things.

This made me think, let get the info out there.

So the Month of August I'm hopping around with my alt, making posts on the blog. What I also wanted to do was encourage designers to set something up for new residents. I haven't even got something out! even tho I had always wanted to and meant too. So I'm working on my package as we speak.

So here is what I'm doing:

I made a scripted vendor package, which has a few different styled vendors that are scripted to give a package to Avatars under 30 days. I'm going to b giving it to any Designer who wants one, just post in this post that you want the package(it comes with the scripted vendors, the info and instructions) or send me a notecard with your request(I'm Helena Stringer remember?) and you can try me in IM, I'm almost always on, but notecards are best. I'm giving this package free to any who want it.

I'm going to compile a list of stores which have a package for Avatars for under 30 days. I'm looking for the scripted ones, the True under 30 day gifties! and Vouchers, like Diversity has.

Any designer that has an item, please tell me on this post, or get to me the above way, and I'll send my new avi out to your store. I'd love to have you all on the list.

I'll be reposting the list every week from now on, so EVERYONE can send their new friends to find it. I know there are lists, but I've had a load of a time trying to find them, and all my own are so old, it's not funny. I'm feeling my sl years.

I'm also going to make a plea

Things new residents need the most:

Poses
AO's
Walkers
Skins-Specially Males
Shapes-Specially Males
Shoes
Eyes

and honestly anything Male specific or unisex. The men hardly ever get anything good, and I have found like 3 packs for them, only 3. I might just suck as a hunter, but for new people, they'd be even worse right?

Anyways that's from what I've seen and heard. Try to think of things that could work with many new styles. It's easier to wear black heels with anything then to wear pink ones. Easier to have the staple hair colours-Blacks, Browns, Reds, Blondes and Whites, then for a guy to try to work with Teal. It doesn't mean you can't throw those in, just think of the bigger picture when trying to make your new avatar pack.

Credits-The Avatar was made by Nylon Pinkney, it's called gamer girl and it's in your Inventory Library

So look forward to my alties noob adventures!

Top Ten Sexy Smiles...

Rob came fifth. FIFTH! Are you kidding me?! Do you KNOW how many people swoon (and other things not fit for print) over this man daily?! It's been likened to Beatlemania! I mean, just look at that schmexiness - seriously "Everything about him invites you in, his smile is certainly no exception" ... FIFTH?!?!

However, in an effort to dig themselves out, three of our other favourite Twilighters made the count:

3.)Taylor Lautner: Does his being half naked bother me? Nope, but his mouth does tend to draw my attention.

2.)Kellan Lutz: His teeth, his lips, his dimples, I don’t see how anyone couldn’t appreciate that mouth. WOW.

My number one spot goes to the guy I consider to be the epitome of beautiful, and soulful.

1.)Jackson Rathbone: For me, there is no sexier mouth on the planet. His smile reaches his eyes, and it’s contagious.
You can’t look at him grinning, and not do the same in return.
Every time I see his mouth turn up at the corners, I can’t help but smile extremely wide, and say “Awwwww” (Yes aloud, don’t judge me.) *laugh*

Pssh - Rob wins!

Love With All My Soul

I have been a long time fan of Love Soul. Basically whenever Love Soul comes out with a free gift I claim it to post a.s.a.p. even if I don't see it first; I know it will be awesome without having to see it. And I love buying things there because the prices are always affordable and the quality is some of the best in all of SL on every single piece. Plus they often have a lot of food related stuff so yay! :D

Anyway, Love Soul finally got their own sim and the grand opening is going on for the next couple of weeks. Every store on the sim is of the highest quality. I have a feeling it will end up being one of my go-to shopping areas.

Plus, every store has at least one item set at 0L or 1L. YAY! Except, don't go with an empty wallet because if you are anything like me you will see all the gorgeous, fairly priced clothing and will want to spend. (I am now the owner of only 4L. Sigh. Oh cute, cheap, clothes how you empty my wallet so!)

There are two stores that have not put out their gifts yet, but apparently they will be out within the next few days.

OH! And don't forget that Love Soul is one of the Creator's Stamp Rally vendors, so any purchase over 100L gives you a CSR card :D
I need a close-up of these shoes...yum!!!

And the hair I am wearing is the latest dollarbie from Vanity Hair. So cute!!
Note: All the items shown are available from various stores on the Love Soul sim. I am not going to give you individual slurls because I am mean and want to make you go explore the whole place >:D SO far the stores with gifts out are R2, Love Soul, SD Boutique, Parallel Love, Kiitos, Nala and Honey Soul.

Note 2: The Skin I am wearing is from Cupcakes and is a group gift. The group is 250L to join.

Bella's dress and more Vamptastic New Moon merch!




Spotted at Comic Con thanks to TwiFans - I want that dress sooo bad... but I'm guessing so does every under-18-year-old who'll probably look better in it that me... *sigh*
