I'm high on hope, I'm reeling

Dear SL...

This is my second instalment of SL event hoarding.
This time my post is a short one focusing on the ever popular Arcade gotcha event.

Credits:
Pigs: Ohmai - !O: - Teacup Piglet - Gatcha - Sundae's Best/Teacher's Pet/Piggy Who?/Harry Porker - (Couldn't find store or info about said store)
Dice Game: *Second Spaces* - dice throw set - (Only on marketplace)
Albums: [Commoner] Photo Album -  Burn Book - RARE / Worth a Thousand Words
Dolly: The Secret Store - Rag Dolls Collection - Annie 3
Plant: [ARIA] - Oolong Teacup Planter  - Succulent Plant - Sunny
Tea: {af}- Lemon Tea
Shoes: : ) BCC - Emma Apple flat shoes denim B
Nail Polish/Files: -tb- - Vanity - Nail Polishes
Dog: ~silentsparrow~ - Corgi! - (Matt) - RARE

All items above ONLY at Arcade. TAXI HERE.
My outfit has been blogged before so check back for details.

This event I am sure like others I spend many lindens on the adorable things that come out.
Once I think I am finished with what I want from the event, All of a sudden I must have something else.

This event is solely a gotcha event, Which personally only makes it that much more addicting and easy to hoard.
It is held every March, June, September and December, This means just when you are recovering from the debt one round caused another starts.
Not that I am complaining, As this has to be one of (If not the) favourite event of SL.
At this point in time there is a few weeks left to snap up the amazing items in this round before they are gone, Some may be gone for good.
Oh and I must mention the Arcade group, This group is one of the most friendly and welcoming group I have had the pleasure of being apart of.
They help out a lot when someone is wanting something they didn't manage to get by tradeing, But keep in mind trades are the only thing allowed in this group and you must use common sense to trade safely.

Ok as RL is calling I promised myself this would be a little post...
With this in mind I will leave you with a song that is random stuck in my head.
Heart On Fire - Jonathan Clay

I hope that you see right through my walls

Dear SL...

I am part way through showing you all that I am an event hoarder.

But I figured I will also blog the outfit used in the pictures.

Blog look # 34

Skin: Glam Affair - Lulu 07 DK - (Gotcha item) - @Arcade

Freckles: Blank Static - Freckle set - f1 - (On Marketplace)

Hair: [taketomi] - Fujii - DBrown06

Ring: Shakeup! - Fabric-Flower Ring - [Stars] - (Gotcha item) - @Arcade

Tattoo: .:Boss Tattoo:. - Sweet Sacrifice - [Fresh] - (Comes in Fresh, Faded , Worn) @Mens Dept

Shirt: coldLogic - shirt - jacobs - midnight 

Jeans: Maitreya - Zipper-Skinny Jeans - #2

Feet: Slink - Bare feet - (Now has enhanced features for better skin matching and toenail options)

Also linking here is a alternate Arcade spot where you are off sim and can cam in to buy items.

This outfit is perfect for just causally sitting about and sorting through the piles of new things brought at the various events throughout the grid.

And its warm enough that if you get stuck in your inventory, You may just survive.

However lets speak of the new and exciting.

Taketomi has a amazing new hair called Fujii, I love this hair store because it is so different and has that slightly Japanese feel to them. 

This hair stood out to me from the new releases because of the thick bangs, They made it a "Must Have" for me.

Coldlogic has a top called Jacob which I instantly fell in love with and just made me feel comfortable when looking at it. 

If people can remember when mesh was new to the grid this store was one of the first in my option to really make it work and they continue to do so.

That is it for now, But if you have a request of what you would like to see me try on my blog let me know in my comments or if you have any questions.

Today's song is below, But also feel free to recommend music you like, I love finding new bands.

Arms - Christina Perri

It's a sick game

Dear SL...

I have decided to do a few posts on SL hoarding in regards to SL events, Because I like many of you have a problem and don't like to admit it.
However my inventory states other wise.

Credits:
Gloves: DECO - MESH Gentleman's Gloves
Hat: [The Blink] - The Gambler - (Couldn't find a link to inworld store)
Chair/Table1: [kusshon] - "minimal" swinger set pattern
Table2: .lame - Cal's Table - Blue - (Comes with chair as well but not pic above)
Cabinet/Wine Rack/ Painting: MudHoney - Bar Credenza - (This includes separate glasses/wine bottles.)
Signs: floorplan - plank map - (Buster/DarkWood/Plywood/Buffalo)
Box:  MudHoney - (Its actually their packaging, But I loved it for decor)
Rack: *bbqq* - Trolley-A-black - (Comes in Silver/Black/Gold and Copper)
Books: :CP: & CT - Catesby Pose Stand - (Old Gift, Check store)
Machine: 22769 - [bauwerk] - Vintage Soda Machine

All the items above are currently at the Men's Dept. Taxi Here.

This post is focusing on the Mens Dept event in particular.
I personally just can not help myself when it comes to events in Secondlife, There are so many and I must have everything from all of them.
Even if I go and just find a few things at each, My inventory explodes.
But at the same time I love it, This shows one or two things about me.
Either it shows how I have no self control when I see things I like at events or it shows just how amazing designers are.
I think its a little of both.
As I say to my mum in RL its not collecting if you collect everything.
So yes I confess here, I am an SL hoarder but I wont admit it if you ask me when I am at an event.
*Sticks tounge out*
On that note I will see you at an event soon I am sure.

This is the song of the day.
Sorry I have been in a Birds Of Tokyo mood of late, So this means you will be getting to know many of their songs.
Which in my opinon is not a bad thing.

Now leaving you with a song that means a lot to me and the video clip is heart wrenching.
Perfect - P!nk

Say My Name

Dear SL...

Today I have some bits and pieces for you.
And as it is 6 Am in the morning I also have very little brain function, So on that note I shall get right to it.

Hair: TRUTH - Noemi - Browns - 02 - (Fades included in new packs)
Goggles: >T< - Hacker Goggles - (Has glow or no glow when clicked)
Earrings: (Caroline's) - Black Pearl Earring - (Marketplace)
Nails: Izzie's - French Nails - (Hud controlled colour range.)
Tattoos: .:Boss:. - Sweet Sacrifice - [Fresh] - (Comes in Fresh, Worn, Faded) - @Mens Dept
Dress: Tee*fy - Aurelia Summer - High  Low Dress - Black - (Trade in group chat/ Gotcha) - @Arcade
Boots: TonkTastic - Resistance Boots

And it seems although my intention was to do a quick blog post this morning lovely SL distractions have stopped me from doing so.
However I will have to ignore them for a while to finish this.
*Shoos the distractions away for a little*

Be WARNED: Post contains things from the highly addictive Arcade which is a event made of gotcha machines and will make you spend all your hard earned L, Even when you think you have got what you want or don't want many things.
Its also has a LM to a off shore boat where you can cam in to buy your must haves. TAXI HERE.

Ok so featured here is Tee*fy with their dress from arcade. It is well done and a cute dress but be careful of the side view of the boobs where it shows a little much where the alpha does not quiet cover.

Truth is another hero in this outfit, The hair i have on was orginally at an event but that has since finished and it is now at the store.
This has fast become my favourite go to pigtail style hair.

This is all I have time to mention for now, I will leave you with another song I have randomly in my head.
Wild Eyed Boy - Birds Of Toyko

I come home in the morning light

Dear SL...

I have a few exciting new things to show you, If you don't know by now on the 5th of every month The Men's Dept opens its doors on a new round of amazing items.
In this post today, I am here to share some of them that I found to be on my must have list.

Blog look #31

Hair: Magika - 01 - Bliss
Necklace: etham - Royal Cross Necklace - [Silver/Black] - #3 - (Many options) - @Men's Dept
Tattoo: .:Boss Tattoo:. - Tears Of The Dragon - [Fresh] - (3 options: Fresh, Faded, Worn.) - @Men's Dept
Shirt: .:villena:. - Denim shirt - w/studs - Classic - (Read below of features) - @Men's Dept
Shoes: Tabloid - REBOUND boots - Blue - (Read below for details) - @Men's Dept

I am sorry to all those who read and follow my blog, It has not been updated for a little while due to RL once again.
But I will however catch up as much as I can when ever this happens.

Designers in the Men's Dept are of such a great level of talent and the items they produce are very high quality.
Designers featured in this post include...
Villena - They continue to be one of my faverite go to stores and the shirt featured here are unisex, It has a nice shape with an option of Hud change metal buttons or even no buttons.

Taloid - is a newer brand to me, However it is proving itself to be very exciting by the shoes produced for the Men's Dept. These come with different versions of sole colours.

Boss - This store has such delicate tattoos, Perfect for all those girls who like a bit of ink and still manly enough for guys as well. This designer really knows how to walk the fine line and personally I have not seen such nice tattoos in SL grid for a while.

Also in this post is the beautiful new hair from Magika which is at a low price for the moment, So if this hair is your tastes hurry on over.

Ok all I am leaving you with a old school song, Inspired by my RL mother and her want to go see this singer live in concert later this year.
Girls Just Want To Have Fun - Cyndi Lauper
