You Know I Know, Yes, I’ve Been Told I Redefine a Sin

Most people learn about sin either through the religion their family teaches and raises them with or though literature, movies, tv, or art. We learn there are seven original sins: lust, greed, gluttony, sloth, wrath, avarice, and pride. On one hand, we learn that sins are bad, negative, not to be done. Yet for some, the warnings we’re given aren’t deterrents for committing sins. In Dante’s Divine Comedy, the first part explores the nine levels of Hell or Inferno. This September’s round of Twisted Hunt is inspired by Dante’s Inferno. If you haven’t heard of Twisted Hunt, it is a grid wide hunt in Secondlife that is completely free and rightfully claimed to be the hardest hunt on the grid. I’ve completed quite a few of these hunts that happen every March and September, and yes, they are the hardest hunts I’ve done in sl. But the trade off is that you get some fantastic gifts from the participating merchants. If you don’t mind working hard for some cool stuff, check out a couple of things I’ve already swiped on the hunt. So my friends at =EC Designs=, Mishmash Fusion, and ~MystRie~ all collaborated on another side hunt for Twisted Hunt. Like their side hunt for Twisted Hunt Atlantis in March, you must travel through multiple levels, finding a prize and the correct teleport object. This time though, you must venture much like Dante, through the nine levels of Hell. If you aren’t feeling the heat in the side hunt, it’s not required, although you do get to see the main prize from =EC Designs= at the end. The final level of Hell features a frozen lake, skulls, and well… a lot of bad juju from the worst sinners. The actual prize from =EC  Designs= is a frozen lake with trees around it that you can sit on with friends or a loved one or use some of the ropes to “hang out” on. It’s a bit creepy and spooky, and perfect for Halloween season. There are a TON of pose options for couples and singles, even a spot for petite avatars! Hunt for this prize in the =EC Designs= shop. Also out in the shop are some gachas to play, one of which are skates to use on your new lake from Hell. Unrigged, the Hellskates should work for most human avatars. if you wear a mesh body, you should only need to detach or hide your feet. Classic avatars can adjust the height of the skate to suit. Collect all of the skates and show off your skating skills on your new lake!

To match the Hellskates, Mishmash Fusion also has a gacha with ice skating dresses out. Sorry gents, no outfits for you, but the hunt prize has a nice suit for both women and men! The Hellskater Outfits match each of the Hellskates so you can have a complete set if you get a matching pair OR you can buy the fatpack and have them all. Sizes for the outfit are modeled for Belleza, Slink, Maitreya, eBody, and Tonic mesh bodies. Find this and another dress gacha in Mishmash Fusion’s mainstore while you’re hunting for their prize cube!

These Boots are Made for Walking

Hello readers! I hope you’ve all had wonderful holidays if you celebrated and enjoyed time with loved ones. Today I am doing something a little different. Pictured below is NOT Safe For Work. In the past I have not felt comfortable sharing pieces like this but I have been blessed with the support of good friends and family and feel like exploring this side a little bit. Changes in my Review Policy and About pages will reflect this. This post is dedicated to my friend Myst, creator of Mishmash Fusion. Take the jump below if you feel like it!

She Gazed with a Loving Beauty

Fall is officially and as many of you know, it is my favorite season. I love the cooler temps, the changing colors on the leaves, everything pumpkin spice, and Halloween! I also really connect with the idea of the life cycle and what this time represents in that cycle. It’s a reminder that all things end but there is still beauty in that ending. Speaking of endings, the Twisted Hunt is fast coming to a close but I wanted to share a little from the hunt which ends September 30.

My friend Myst at Mishmash Fusion is a merchant for the Twisted Hunt and is shop #42 on the hunt path. For this round, she’s made a gorgeous set of outfits for both females and males to wear inspired by the Victorian Goth hunt theme. Ladies can find themselves twirling about in this vision of red and black top/skirt set that together fits like a dress. On the back of the top is a lovely corset lace detail that tastefully shows a bit of skin that I just love. The textures on this outfit, called Remy’s Song, look great especially with advanced lighting on. Sizes included are classic standard mesh sizes XL-XS and fitted models for Maitreya, both Slinks, Belleza bodies, both Tonics, and TMP bodies. Men will find a dashing suit in red and black that comes in classic standard mesh sizes XL-XS and a pair of black shoes to complete the look. The stripes running down the Knives’ Suit are nice and sharp and will have any man feeling tall. Other color variations of both outfits are available in the gacha machines as well as other goodies.

I also wanted to share a new item from Dictatorshop. The Driftwood Swing is a lovely addition to any yard and functions both as landscaping and a cozy spot for cuddles and more. Currently it is being sold exclusively at The Cosmopolitan Event which runs from now until October 7. While at the event, you can get this incredible piece 20% off in either Adult or PG only versions (Adult version includes the PG version). What I love about this set is that the animations are all great as I expect but also that the singles poses can be changed independently from the other person sitting with you. There’s so many choices I have no doubt you will love it like I do. In the menu for the Adult version, there are all of the PG poses as well as a fully loaded adult menu with both Vanilla and BDSM options. For more info on this set, see it inworld at the shop or check out Dee’s blog post here. Get it at the event while you can!

A few other things of note, I’ve changed the logo for the blog and I’d like to give a huge shoutout/thank you to my friend Myst Cobalt for designing it for me. 🙂 I also want to remind you all that Cart Sale is coming up October 11 and it is a special round. Cart Sale is celebrating 10 years! There will be gifts, there will be gachas, and there will be lots of great deals! I will be covering the event so stay tuned!

Flesh to Blood to Bone to Love… Twisted…

Hello my lovelies! It seems my witchy side is persisting as we get closer to Samhain and the Day of the Dead. I seem to have acquired the gift of divination for a time. Or maybe it has something more to do with this Twisted Hunt that’s been going on all September. Haven’t heard of it? Well let me tell you a little story…

Twisted Hunt is well known as the hardest hunt in SL. Its Organizers are evil and the merchants are ebil. And no that was NOT a typo. Ebilness is reserved for the truly twisted of twisted people and fair warning, you’ll lose your mind and hair on this hunt. Merchants are allowed to use only a certain number of visible decoys but who’s to say they won’t bury a million cubes in the walls and rename their building parts? In an effort to ward of would-be cheaters, merchants are very crafty and downright wicked at times in hiding their prize cubes. So why go through all the trouble for a little cube? Because Twisted Hunt has arguably some of the best creators on the grid offering FREE prize hunt cubes. Merchants like Mishmash Fusion..

The gown and blindfold I am wearing come as a set of standard mesh sizes as the main hunt prize for this hunt at Mishmash Fusion. Spirits sending you visions of the Apocalypse? Randomly spouting prophecies worthy of the Ancient Greek oracles? You’re going to need this gown! The beautiful rich fabric will keep you warm as you scry in crystal balls by moonlight and read fortunes in animal guts. The blindfold comes in two versions, one of which is unrigged. I’m wearing the LQ version. I did have to squish my boobs into my dress but that was because I wanted to fit in a size M. Other than that, no shape modifications. Find this lovely gown before the event ends! My necklace and earrings are from Sn@tch and come with easy to use resize scripts. This hunt prize is simply lovely and is a great addition to a witch or seer’s wardrobe.

I also wanted to share the cool crystals and big stone looking thing behind me. The crystal clusters are the Twisted Hunt gift from Attitude is An Artform. These beauties are very low prim and can be linked together without making the prim count multiply like rabbits. The stone piece is carved with old Celtic symbols for the five elements; earth, fire, water, air, and spirit. When clicked, a smokey mist is emitted from the circle as spirits are called forth. Find this hunt gift at Lilith’s Den while you can. More info on the Twisted Hunt and the Merchant List with direct store teleports can be found here and below with all other links.

Also small note, I’ll be creating a page with the mesh body parts I always wear and will link it at a later date for future referencing. Have fun hunting and see you all again soon! 🙂
