Oink?

Greetings from Gaylord! 

Warning! This is not a planned fashion shot.  I was shopping at Thimbles with my whif Whisper when Tesh and Gavin and my pal Evangeline all showed up at the store.  This would not be newsworthy except that the lovely and truly charming, Apatia Hammerer, announced today a huge sale at both Pig and Thimbles.  As most of you probably know, many of the Starlust sims are being sold and Gaylord is one of them.  Pig will be moving to Lloyd in the future but Appy and Melatonin Hax are closing Thimbles so this is your last chance to get some of the funnest, most creatively named clothing on the grid.  Enough fangirl (I could go on for a long time) so here is the scoop: Some items at Pig are being permanently retired and marked down to 25 L (fatpacks been marked down to 99 or 150L.  Also anything black and grey has been marked down to 50L in honor of Appy's dog.  Everything in Thimbles has been marked to 25L and will remain 25L until the Gaylord sim gets sold.

Fun in the Box

I logged on to my favorite alt to find many fun things! The sky box I am in is great. It's very simple, but wonderfully constructed. The tree is a demo that was sent to the Forest Feast subscriber (the demo versions are no copy so they are like gifts you can use! Their plants are AMAZING and I pretty much only buy my trees and flowers there these days.) and I love having trees indoors, I don't know why :P The natural vibe of the sky box worked well with this group gift skirt from Parallel Love too. I think I have to go back and buy this skirt in all colors...the quality is very high.

The pen around my neck makes me happy. Look at how I am smiling! It is a gift from Sanu that gives Christmas themed scribble tattoos when clicked by anyone. The snowflakes and presents and such you see on my body throughout the post are those tattoos. The skin I am wearing is the latest group gift from Rotten Toe. The items at Rotten Toe just keep getting better by the day, seriously.

Another skin I got is a group gift from Romi skins. Romi are in my top five fave skin stores, so I was really sad to hear that they are closing their main store on December 15th. I hope things in the owner's life turn out well so it can be opened again not too long after! For now though the skins are extremely reduced in cost. The last two lines are 400L, but all the previous skins are maximum 100L. And they do MALE skins too. You hear that guys? MALE. Yes. Male skins for 100L. Awesome. Also very awesome is this tiger hat from Cutie Honey. It is the Snow Flake hunt prize and I have a feeling I won't be taking it off for a while :P

SkyBox: D-Lab, group gift
Skin #1: Rotten Toe, group gift

!WigWamBam, Thank You, Maam!

Actually, the thanks goes to Joodle Fadoodle, the clever and talented designer of !WigWamBam.  JoJo is one of those uber talented creators who has always been so generous in sharing her work with us frugalistas.  However, this is one of those posts that I am truly saddened to have to write because WigWamBam will be closing in 6 days.  Everything in the store, including new releases has been marked down to 5, 15, 25, or 50 Lindens, randomly.  There are also many wonderful dollarbies, of which I am only showing the skins.  I'm showing some examples of JoJo's range of talent and I will leave the price checking to you as I don't want to give away her prices.  In a week where we've considered the cost of content theft on creator's spirits and pocketbooks, I have heard of several store closures of truly talented people and this particular one saddens me a lot. All the hair in my post are from Truth's Clearance Sale, with hair packs only 25 L on certain styles

Towa Closing

There is more bad news folks. Towa is closing in one day! As a last gift there are two lucky boards out, one with beautiful jeweled prim lashes and a second containing these lovely dresses and accessories:

There is also a 50% off sale on the already low priced merchandise. Most dresses are below 100L and prim nails around 50L. There are even furniture and skyboxes and such! The two dresses below were both under 100L and are very nice quality:

The skin I am wearing is one of the latest freebies from (Vive9). It's a very sweet looking skin! The eyes are part of the Towa lucky board prize and the LCS piercings are a gift in the Lucky Chair Stalkers group notices from EllaBella.
