Time For a Change

Great outfit for guys in the 2014 Metamorphosis Hunt at LC Designs. It comes with the scarf and hiking boots (which are really nicely detailed). Football not included. Heh!

If you need more sparkle, there's the New Year's Tux Lamu group gift from the ALB men's department.

Annthrasite insists these
look great on gals, too.

Comes with spangly bowler. Heels from the COCO discontinued clearance.

Trying Not To Mess Up This Time

Men's gift: Bard

We're taking it slow this time so we don't screw things up like Last Time.

The Medieval Fantasy Hunt is green! Hop in your Superthunderstingcar and head over to Blue Moon where two gifts await to please the gentles of both sexes. Hark ye and list while the men's gift looks for his lost lute. The Bard has a mesh shirt and boots. The boots are fair gigunda, but can be modded down for Kathy's size 0 feet (which are apparently no longer in fashion* - tough nuts).

Women's gift: dark gown.

Look elsewhere to find the gift for the distaff side, but don't talk like that to Annthrasite or she will have off of you the testicles, and not in a nice way. She is pictured here in the lovely mesh dark gown. She saw it on Kathy earlier and braved six kinds of lag to get it - relogging at least that many times and rebooting the router. It was fain worth it, forsooth. There's even a necklace in there - but someone's hand is in the way.

There is also a group gift of an enormous watermill. Holy moly! Too bad Llludmila has maxed out her groups!

Blue Moon Enterprizes

*The social media chat reveals to the author the size 0 foot is now obsolete with the advent of mesh feet. Avs are now free to have pedal extremities that are colossal. Now, if only they would also make their mesh hands in proportion to the mesh feet. I look at many fashion blogs and fashion ads and keep seeing these itsy-tiny hands with feeble wrists attached to bulky arms.
And, while I'm at it, I'd like to complain about the "average" av sizes that have huge bottoms and no bellies. In order to fit mesh pants on my avs I have to wear larger and larger sizes, making the back of the pants stick out enough to hide a laptop. Women have bellies. And if they have an ass that big, they also have thighs that rub together. What's with that croquet wicket look? Let's not even get into the cartoon breasts. But at least people know those are just for laughs.
Okay - sorry. Rant over.
Wear the baby hands with the comedy breasts and the wicket legs if you want. It's your virtual life.

Am I ... Are We In a Rut?

Consistency or rut? Dang, that coat is sooo Cruella deVille!

Annthrasite made yet another trip to Black Haus White Market to see what was new. The owner, Jewelia Blessed caught her and told her she was probably the longest customer. Not sure if that's longest amount of time or the longest list of outfits from BHWM and Piece of Mind in inventory.

We've gone on and on about BHWM and its sister store downstairs before, but there are plenty of reasons. First of all, we just love black and white: zebra, holstein, dalmatian, and pony patterns. Then there's the weekly bargains. If it's not Secret Weddlesday or Insane Thursday, it's Nervous Breakdown Weekend where one can pick up full outfits, including shoes and other accessories, for 60L or less. If there's one thing we really love besides black and white ... it's a bargain! We can't recommend this shop too highly!

So, despite the possible over-abundance of black and white in her wardrobe, Annthrasite will continue to haunt BHWM ... especially on sale days! Rut-shmut! It's Loyalty! And it's been well-earned.

Even Kathy and Lludmila ... Lludmila thinks black makes her
look thinner. Don't tell her it could be the alpha.

Blue jeans and boots from Piece of Mind (downstairs from Black Haus White Market)
Hair from A&A at that Rag Dollz* Christmas Village freebie spree.

Annthrasite, you're not a blonde! You're a a redhead with occasional forays into dark brown. "Whatcher point?" I know I'm not going to get her out of that jacket thing for a while. She may also wrestle me for the hair. "You can have this outfit when you wrest it from my cold, dead pixels."

I've apparently created a monster.

It's Never Simple, Is It?

Annthrasite tries out the Take Your Own Photo booth.

You think you have it all under control. You're just going to "stop by" Rag Dollz to see if there's something new in the Midnight Mania boards (one group, one everybody) and there's this cute li'l ole sign inviting you to visit the Christmas Village*. How could this possibly hurt? There are free gifties ...

Look for these - but check for other
freebies!

"Holiday Scene Mesh Boho Tube Dress" from Shanti -
winner of the Most Complicated Name Contest.
Be sure to pick up the bag outside.

Sweater and dangling mittens from Moonflow.
Goofy life-size pirate nutcracker from Jinxed Toys.

Santa hat from Stich In Time.

 

Christmas casual from Iron Sea Designs with
Xtreme brown leather heels from Cha cha.

This is right about where Annthrasite had a little mental breakdown. She hasn't opened everything yet, not to mention the Peace On Earth boxes still hanging about. This is only the tip of the Christmas Village Iceberg of Freebies.

Toxic Charm

Toxic freebie rainbow bright sandals.

These painful-looking strappy stilettos (stiletti?) are free at Toxic. Lludmila had a good look at the merchandise and was delighted to see many, many colorful mesh outfits that are 50L! And these sandals should go with any of them!
