Strawberry Festival!

The Magic of Oz hunts are always my fave. Usually they take FOREVER because you have to wait around for random objects to show up and it can literally take hours, even days, to find all of them. This time around, however, things are much easier!
Basically you go to the Magic of Oz landing point and grab a folder that contains a basket. Wear the basket and go around finding the strawberries that randomly appear. When you get six berries a menu will pop up asking you to choose which store you would like the prize for. Select that store and you will receive a fork to wear. Wear and click this fork at the cake inside the store you chose and you will get he prize! Repeat this as many times as you want. There are tons of prizes I haven't even shown, even housewares and such!
I also wanted to show a close-up of the Ay.Line group gift hair and the Nomine gacha skin!! Looooove! The Ay.Line hair is a fat pack of colors so one for everyone. The Nomine gacha has been filled with brand spanking new stuff and A LOT of the items are skins! SO HAPPY. There are also skins in the lucky chairs and the fortune teller. Win!

Worn:
Outfit and Pink Shoes: Katat0nik, for hunt
Socks and Wrist Bands: Silent Sparrow for hunt
Hair: Ay.Line, group gift
Skin: Nomine, 20L gacha prize
Necklace: Frippery for hunt
Hair Clip: Blackberry Jam for hunt
Boots: Lazy Places for hunt
Eyes: HSH, lucky board prize
*Individual links not included for hunt stores. The Magic of Oz landing point is HERE. The hunt vendors are on two sims, Magic of Oz and Ozimals, but you only need to be on one sim or the other to find all of the berries.

Reminiscing

It's been a weekend of reminiscing, for various reasons. Katat0nik celebrated her 1st anniversary. It made me think back to the first time I met her. She was having a hunt for a teeny doll avatar, complete with skin,shape and of course highly detailed outfit. Well I searched and I looked, but I couldn't find the tiny coin, with the Axis Mundi logo. What I did find was a vendor with the outfit in it, so I bought it as soon as it rezzed. Not 30 seconds later, Kat refunded my money. I jumped in her IM box and was all "No way" and she was like "way" And she had a customer for life. For as long as kat makes stuff in SL, I'll buy it, and not because she refunded me, it was the attitude with which she did it. There are people you meet in this amazing world we have created, whose talent and spirit shine through the pixels, and kat is one of those people.





So we partied, I crashed lots, bought everything in sight, and thought I should show these prettyful gifts that us groupies were lucky enough to receive. This is part of the note she sent : "Thank you all so much for such an awesome year, when I put my first dresses (Buckley and Carousel) on sale it was nerve-wracking and I had no idea if anyone would even buy them or if I had wasted many days drawing the dresses for nothing. I have grown a lot in the last year both as an artist and a "designer" in SL and am thankful for this opportunity :D
Included in this pack is an updated version of my Buckley dress in an unreleased color, and a special ice cream outfit just for you guys :D" We love you too kat, congrats on your first year, and here's to many more.



Ms Ghanima from Blueblood has been a very busy bee, although that's not an unusual occurrence :P Meet "Lola", you'll find 8 colours of her in the lucky chair!! I love this dress, it's so damn pretty, trust me, you'll want all the colours too!



And this cute outfit is from the Bubblefish lucky chair. Back when kenlee and I had a club (to help me pay for texture uploads) we were having an 80's night, and I had nothing in my inv. So she took me to Bubblefish and I went to town! That was nearly 2 years ago. So when I got a note from Soda Domela about the lucky chair, I was stoked. I love the clothes here, bright, fun and affordable. Mind you, I'm surprised anything fitted me back then, as I was saying to Sasy, I used to 100 tall, the mind boggles :P Ash Out.

Pyschotic Nekos Dress...Well!

Oh hai! I had a moment to slap up a post about an Easter Egg hunt at Psychotic Neko that starts tomorrow (Friday). Oh yuss. PSYCHOTIC NEKOS!

Dun dun....DUN!!!!

Ok, I'm not sure where all that came from, but needless to say, I'm excited about it! So excited, that I took a stab at being a neko again. Oi.

Katat0nik's egg hunt prize is a brand new color of her "Rina" dress ~ seafoam! Bask in the seafoamy goodness while you cruise the sim for the hunt. Just look for participating stores by finding the sign in front of them. Go in the shop, find the egg, buy it for $0, and hop like the Easter Bunneh in your new freebie yum yums. Like Katat0nik's shop!

The Day Green Took Over The Grid!

Why? . . . WHY! More GREEN?

Didn't I say I liked green?

Well there is a good reason for this post. The Sim "Magic of Oz" is holding a hunt! If ever you have been to a Oz hunt, you'll know the quality of the stuff is to die for. Even in a sea of green. This hunt is no different. Want to see some of the lovely clothing? you'll have to go visit Strawberry's blog for that, just click Here!

I'm blogging everything else for you to oggle at.

But first I'll give you the official info:

Times:March 17th-March 22nd
Where: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Magic%20of%20Oz/134/117/24
Who:

Sim Mainstores
.:: eyecandy ::. (2 Gifts)
malContent (formerly Treasured Visions) (2 Gifts)

Sim Vendors
KessKreations (2 Gift)
MnM Design Store (1 Gift)
KatatOnik (3 Gifts)
silentsparrow (1 Gift)
Laughing Academy (1 Gift)
Aqua Shop (1 Gift)
Schadenfreude (1 Gift)
Wasabi Pills (1 Gift)

The Stringer Mausoleum and Shrine (1 Gift)

How:

1)Coins are what you are looking for. They appear all over the island.
2)Wear the coin, in the name of the coin, and in scripted chat, it'll say what store it is for.
3)go to the coins store on the island. eg. You have a coin that says *Oz* St. Patrick's Cuardach Gold Coin:Silent Sparrow. This means you have to find the Silent Sparrow Store on the island.
4)find the pot of gold in each store. You have to go up close to them.
5)Click the coin you are wearing. Your gift Will poof to you! Accept it, and there you go! Now don't be RL Blonde like me, and try to click the pot of gold. It wont do anything!

Some stores have more then one gift. This means you'll get one of them randomly. So in order to get both, you have to try again with a new coin. It takes a few tries some times, but the coins are easy enough to find.

Okay enough of that, on with the goodies!

Clothing from Silent Sparrow. There are a bunch of pieces in the gift, these were for the dudes, but I didn't feel like crossdressing today. The jewelry is by EyeCandy. I'm not big on rings and things, but I do like this one, and it was super easy to fit. I also love the clasp on the back of the necklace, I didn't take a pic, but the detail is great. I find as a RL jewelry designer, much of the items in sl are lacking that fine detail quality I expect in my own works. EyeCandy keeps surprising me with these little things.

Particles always suck when blue screening, I should have done an "on Location" shoot for this one. But the head bobbers are really nice inworld. They and the necklace come as one of the gifts from KessKreations. The clothing is some more bits and pieces from Silent Sparrow.

The lashes are from Wasabi Pills, and were not hard to mod to my face. The eyes are one of the gifts from the rebranded malContent. Malkavyn is going to be diving into a few other types of content, other then eyes. All the backgrounds in my pics he made, and they are the other gift in his pot.
It's like a mini Pope! This is from the Aqua Shop.

The hat here is the 3rd gift from Katat0nik. The other 2 are the dresses from Strawberry's post.
These have nothing to do with OZ, I really just needed to snag these before Ashia did =) Kat sends group gifts out here and there. These both came in the one today. The other great thing about the group is there are secret group only sales and other benefits of being in there. Kat sends an invite once you have spent L$250 in the store, it should come within 24hours. bug her if it takes more then a week, or mob the store with pandas. Think of it as a group fee, but you get something automatically.

I saved the best for last. Lookatthisthingy! It's a ridable Clover! It makes me want to make random things to ride now, maybe that can be the next craze after sticking odd things in our mouths!

Stop thinking sick things you!

Not one, not two, but nine new lucky chair dresses at Katatonik.

The Dollie dresses are gorgeous, and each colour is a "must have".



Shown here with non free hair also from Katatonik and non free skin from Curio. And to think, not an hour ago, I was wondering what to do with myself during some terribly rare time off from mini Ash. Huge thanks to Kat, Ash Out.
