Featuring Sway’s, {What Next} and [Aleutia]

Happy Friday everyone!  Are you all ready for Halloween?  Tomorrow is the big day.  I am going to carve the last of my pumpkins today and make sure I know where my tealights are.  I should probably double check the candy situation because I know I have dipped into the bag on more than one occasion.  Let’s get to the goodies!

First up and out for Fifty Linden Friday is the cute Hazel Pumpkin w/ Succulents from Sway’s.  It is only 1 land impact and you get it in natural orange, green and crazy purple.  I am also using some other pumpkin/Halloween items from Sway’s so check the credits for the details and better yet, check out the main store for a large selection of Halloween/Fall merchandise.

I am wearing a new release from Aleutia.  This is the Zoyetta Shorts and Top and it comes in a bunch of fun colors.  You get the pumpkin graphic top and shorts AND a plain tank and shorts with each color choice and a hud is included that allows you to change the trim colors.  There is also a fatpack available.  You can find this fun outfit at The Warehouse Sale.

Last but not least is several fall decor pieces from What Next.  There is a fall shop set up at the main store where you can find a bunch of cute decor pieces for fall.  There are pumpkins galore, fall wreaths, autumn treats and even outside decor.  After tomorrow Halloween will be over but we still have a lot more autumn to go. 

I hope you all have a great weekend and a hauntingly, spook-tacular Halloween!  Stay safe!

Kindness is like coffee.
It awakens your spirit and improves your day.
Fill your cup with both.

Today I am featuring a new release from Vinyl Apparel.  It was quite a coincidence because I had just been going through my inventory trying to find a pair of shorts and leggings that worked together with no luck.  This is the Donut Denim Shorts and the Jelly Leggings.  The leggings are included in fatpack colors with each pair of shorts.  You can change the belt color as well and even wear the shorts without the belt if you want.  You can find this new release at Uber.  I have paired them up with Vinyl’s Crumbles Tee set that was released at the September round of Uber.  You can find it in the main store now.  I hope your day is filled with kindness and coffee…or whatever happens to be your beverage of choice!

Featuring Avec Toi

Today I am featuring the Night Fever Blouse and Pants from Avec Toi and BOY, did I end up going down a wormhole while working on the photo and this write up.  The name of the outfit immediately made me think of the 1977 movie, Saturday Night Fever. 

I know if have talked about my love of dancing before and it started at a very young age.  My sister and I watched American Bandstand and Soul Train as early as I can remember.  The disco genre emerged in the 70’s, my pre-teen years and I remember how popular the movie and disco were at that time.

When the movie came out I was 12 years old and in the 7th grade and my math teacher started an after school dance club.  My friends and I could do the Hustle like no ones business.  Then at 13 we started hitting the teen dance club where we want almost every weekend even after we were legal “bar” age.  The wormhole I mentioned – it was hours of YouTube videos because you know you can’t watch just one.  One after another kept popping up on that sidebar and I just had to listen/watch and on occasion even leave my chair to boogie across the floor. 

The Night Fever Blouse and Pants are sold separately and each comes in four mini packs that include 6 colors or a fatpack that has 14 exclusive duo-colors.  You can find them at Uber…and by the way..these great shoes are also from Avec Toi and are available at the main store.  Happy shopping!

Featuring ZK Store

Warning!  This may be a bit of a spoiler alert if you haven’t seen the Stephen King It movies.  I will start by saying that I did enjoy them very much…except for the end, when we finally get to see what Pennywise actually is, since he’s not actually a really creepy clown with sharp teeth.  It was not what I was expecting at all and Pennywise the clown is WAY scarier than that “spider” as I like to call it.  Before writing up this post I was “Googling” a few things and came across some actual text from the book.  We all know books are always better than the movie and though I have read several Stephen King books, It, is not one of them.  The excerpt has me wanting to change that.  

Before I leave you to read that snippet I will tell you a bit about my featured item, the  Penny outfit from ZK Store.  Inspired by Pennywise, the outfit comes in a variety of colors including bloody versions, like I am wearing here.  It also includes socks, shoes and even the red balloon.  *Note- Your nips are going to show in this corset.  I have blurred mine out for this post.* You can find the Penny outfit at Shiny Shabby.  Now on to the story…

George reached.

The clown seized his arm.

And George saw the clown’s face change.
What he saw then was terrible enough to make his worst imaginings of the thing in the cellar look like sweet dreams; what he saw destroyed his sanity in one clawing stroke.

They float,’ the thing in the drain crooned in a clotted, chuckling voice. It held George’s arm in its thick and wormy grip, it pulled George toward that terrible darkness where the water rushed and roared and bellowed as it bore its cargo of storm debris toward the sea. George craned his neck away from that final blackness and began to scream into the rain, to scream mindlessly into the white autumn sky which curved above Derry on that day in the fall of 1957. His screams were shrill and piercing, and all up and down Witcham Street people came to their windows or bolted out onto their porches.

They float,’ it growled, ‘they float, Georgie, and when you’re down here with me, you’ll float, too–’

“Eye of newt, and toe of frog,
Wool of bat, and tongue of dog,

Lizard’s leg, and owlet’s wing,—
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and caldron bubble.”

I will admit it…I am a little in love with this photo.  I look at it and a story fills my head.  I have said before that the talent of Second Life creators, and my sponsors in particular,  make my job as a blogger easy.  If you start with beautiful subject matter you can’t help but get a great shot.  

Today I am featuring a mix of old and new releases.  The Fortune Teller’s set is from Cheeky Pea and though it was originally released for N21 back in 2016 you can see how well it stands the test of time.  Still absolutely gorgeous.  It comes in PG and Adult versions and can be purchased as a set or as individual pieces.

 Next is the Farmhouse Fall Kitchen Decor from DaD Virtual Living which you can now find in the mainstore.  The pieces can be purchased individually or as a set and consists of Copper Cookware Molds, Copper Baking Molds, Old Kerosene Store and the Autumn Wreath.  I was originally going to use these in a different photo but I loved the look of them here and honestly what was part of the story that came to mind.  The mysterious, somewhat scary fortune teller…. out in the woods…with all those pans….for eating CHILDREN!!  Ahhh!  I mean that’s how those stories go, right?  Anyhoo…you can find these decor pieces at the main store.

Last but certainly not least is the item every fortune teller needs….the Cosmic Kitty from Granola.  The Cosmic Kitty is available at the Satan Inc. event and comes in a selection of colors.  Each color set includes a decor piece as well as a holdable version.  Delightfully magical!

We are in the home stretch to Halloween and I am totally feeling the mood.  Time to start watching all of my traditional Halloween shows.  My top two…It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown and the original 1978 version of Halloween.  What are your favorite Halloween traditions?  Let me know!

Clearly this photo is focused on several of the beautiful food creations from Lucas Lameth with the most recent releases being the Glazed Ham with Pineapple and the Grill Asparagus & Tomato with Cheese.  Food porn!  Fun to look at in the real world and in Second Life!

Let your
curiosity be
greater than
your fear.

– Pema Chodron –

We all know that old proverb, curiosity killed that cat, and I did a bit of very intense “research”, ok…I Googled, reading about the origin of that statement.  It is long and varied and I won’t bore you with it here but feel free to Google it for yourself if you are…ahem…curious!  Personally I think curiosity is a good thing in most cases or at least the way I think about it.  I am curious about things that typically increase my knowledge about something important to me or something that interests me.  Example, I am curious about history…I am not curious about the guy in that huge, giant wheeled, need a ladder to climb in, WAY too loud truck.  I’m pretty sure I know all I need to about him. Am I right?

I do think it is way too close to November for this turkey to get so close to this oh, so sharp axe which brings me to my featured items.  This is the Carson Woodshed Set, a new release from Serenity Style.  The set includes the woodshed, small bundle of logs and the woodcutter stump.  Perfect decor piece as we move into fall and winter.  You can find the set at the current round of Man Cave Event, open now through November 11th.

I am also featuring the Cypress Oak from The Little Branch.  It was first available at the August round of Uber and can now be found in the main store.  It is four seasons, animated and includes green and fall weeds/grass.

Please check the credits for other sponsored items from {What Next}, |T|L|C| Home Collection, ionic and Sway’s.  They are previous releases but perfect for the season!  Details and landmarks are below.
