Finally! Pididdle!

The adorable Brutus Martinek from Pididdle has been planning on opening a new main store on the Existence sim and it opened today!  To celebrate she has made some season themed versions of some of her new releases.  They are hidden in 5 easy to find pumpkins and will cost you nada.

The Beirut Jeans in "That Creepy Feeling" version as well as the Obsessions Top in "Pumpkin Patch Party" as well as the Boo necklace are 3 of the items you can find in the little hunt.  I added the non-free Beirut Vest in black because it's such a madly versatile piece, plus I think its really sexy.

Check out the amazing texturing on the Obsessions Top.  I love Brutus's attention to detail.  All her new releases come in about a billion colors, which makes it about impossible for me to buy only one.  Thanks, Brutus, for all the fantastic gifts!

R.icielli!

I had never been to R.ichielli before and I love finding new places.  They have wonderful high-fashion styles that are easy to wear and perfectly textured.  The the Barbbara dress in lime is free for a limited time. It is not in a box out front, darlings.  When you enter the store, turn right and keep turning right until you reach the last room.  It is on the regular rack with the other lovely colors.

Also, Baby Monkey is discontinuing all older versions of Ultimate shoes and has priced them at 10 L.  There are oodles to pick from so get over there!  New group gift in archives too!  When you arrive at the store the shoes on sale are to your right in the room where the Ultimates Lucky Chair is (not the one when you first enter the store).

There is also a fantastic body suit in the R.ichielli group archives that shouldn't be missed!

Inspired by the “Knows” campaign that was originally created back in 1986, the Nike Pac Man Knows Tee continues to communicate authentic training experience and maximizes the energy of sport.



These fight night tees are also a great gift for boxing gamers on PS3 or Xbox 360 where Manny Pacquiao also appears as one of the gaming characters. It follows the classic design of the traditional fight-night boxing poster, Nike’s Fight Night Tee showcases different icons relevant to Manny’s boxing career, chronicling his journey to success.

The Adventures of Miss Crabtree, Chapter 1

Miss Crabtree timidly stood at the door of Mr. Shuffle's office.  Being the new girl in the steno pool,  she was eager to impress her boss with her skills.  The other girls twittered amongst themselves when they got word that Miss Crabtree was already being called to their boss's office, though a few others glared.  She had recently moved to the city from her family's home in Poughkeepsie to begin acting school and she really needed this job.  Mother had warned her that there the big city was no place for a single girl but Miss Crabtree was determined to succeed and become a star, like her idol Grace Kelly.  Anxiously she knocked on her boss's door and waited.  "Please come in, Miss Crabtree", he said in an authoritarian voice.  Mr. Shuffle sat at his desk smoking a fine Cuban cigar.  Behind him was a view of downtown as well as photos of his family.  She stood there paper and pen ready, waiting for him to ask her to sit and begin work.  "Now come closer, Miss Crabtree...".

Details:
Outfit: Baby Monkey.  The perfectly crafted pencil skirt is a group gift to Baby Monkey members.  Hours were spent creating multiple layers and lining up the seams.  Other colors as well as a belted style are available for a meager 50 L.  The pink blouse is free as a picks reward.  The argyle top is one of 3 available to all.  The new Sasha shoes are a dream.  Not free but menu driven for color change of shoe, heel/base, toenail options.  I am so impressed with the new line so please check it out.
Accessories: Deco: Memories necklace and Cat's Meow glasses
Hair: fri.day: Cassie: not free
Skin: Tuli: Eva: group gift (250 L join fee)

Who loves Cupcakes? Me!

I've seriously sprained my ankle in RL or I would have shown you this earlier today with lots more pictures. Cupcakes is having now the sale to end all sales. Where to start? All summer clothing has been marked down to 100 L or less until July 4th. I'm talking lots of clothes, but check this out: lots of those clothes are 1 L!!! The catch is you have to find them. I am showing you two here but there are lots more! Also until the 4th is a special on skins. For every single skin (1000L), you will get a 1000 L gift card. For every fat pack of skin you purchase, you can chose a second skin pack for free!

But wait, there's more. At the front of the store there are 12 "gift bags". First, they aren't free. They are 250 L each but they are loaded with a skin in all tones, a shape, an outfit and eyes. If you belong to the Cupcake Update Group, which is now only 100 L to join, you will find out that quite often they are offering a 500 L gift card when you purchase on of these sets. The gift bags are only available until the 4th as well. The 500 L gift card offer is not all the time so the best way to find out when is to be in the group. I have purchased several because they are such an exceptional value.
Cupcakes is such wonderful group. Rosemary Galbraith and Mimi Coral are exceptional at both skin and clothing design (there is also a group gift in the archives now too). And if you are lucky, you might walk in like I did and see Mimi in a gorilla suit humping Rosemary's leg! What a treat! Speaking of legs, time for mine to elevate.

Items Shown:

Clothing: Cupcakes: two of several hidden dollarbies

Skin: Cupcakes: Celebrity/Vanilla - Halo - from one of the 250 L gift bags

Hair: Picture 1: Truth: Twiggy @ The Hair Fair thru 7/6 - not free - 50% went to Locks of Love

Picture 2: W&Y Yuki Hair 57 - I found this for 0 or 1 L in a stand outside of Peppermint Blue's new Free Shop, where you can get most if not all of her previous free gifts (great sets that include a complete outfit, skins, shapes, shoes/accessories and sometimes hair) for both women and men. Great for new and old players alike.
