LOTD #167 – Hot Mess

She plopped herself down on the stump, sighing audibly with annoyance.

She was already regretting her decision to agree to this ‘woodland picnic.’

All this hiking was going to ruin her pedicure.

I am so behind with my LOTD posts!

I have a giant pile of boxes waiting to be opened, with oodles of gorgeousness inside.

There have been a TON of events lately in SL and I’ve been busily shopping.

I finally made it to Hair Fair and bought this amazing hair from Lelutka – I love the tousled curl look of it.

Most of the vendors at Hair Fair have placed out free gifts for the 10th anniversary.

So even if you don’t want to buy any hair (just kidding, who doesn’t need more hair?!), you can stop buy and pick up some free swag.

Don’t forget to make a donation to Wigs for Kids!

The sunglasses I’m sporting are Lelutka’s free gift at Hair Fair and they match this hair perfectly.

The blazer outfit is something I picked up at last week’s Fi*Friday (I think) and I purposely chose I color I don’t normally wear.

I love the salmon color and casual look of the outfit.

When I saw the ad for fri.day’s FLF offering this week, I jumped on it – these adorable sandals for only $50L!

You get these beauties AND two other pairs of sandals – that’s a steal. 😀

The gorgeous necklace and ring are from Maxi Gossamer for Mix.

Mix is a new monthly event.

You get a HUD for that month that lets you tp to the participating stores – some have sales, some have new releases, and some have exclusives.

Maxi Gossamer had a whole ‘Look Book’ for Mix and I immediately scooped it up.

I love the delicate chain on the necklace and, of course, both items are color change.

The ring was a bit hard to see in the photo, so I added the inset at the bottom to show off the gorgeous details.

The stumps and picnic basket are decor items from Park Place – one of my favorite stores.

She does amazing work and the prices are very reasonable.

I  have tons more to show you (Genre this round is AMAZING!), but right now I have to head off to a dance show.

Enjoy your Friday, everyone!

Aziraphale – ATP – Good Omens

One of my favorite events opened yesterday and I can’t wait to show you some more of the amazing items available!

Good Omens centers around the arrival of the Anti-Christ, and thus the Apocalypse.

Two of the main characters are Crowley (a demon) and Aziraphale (an angel).

Crowley is described as “an Angel who did not so much Fall as Saunter Vaguely Downwards.” (pg. ix)

Crowley has grown attached to Earth and humans and keeps trying to convince his superiors that, if left alone, humans devise many more ways to harm each other than any demon could ever imagine.

During his long tenure on Earth, Crowley has come to a sort of ‘gentleman’s agreement’ with his Heavenly counterpart, Aziraphale.

Aziraphale is quite a contrast to Crowley (as expected), and upon meeting him, according to the novel, people “formed three impressions: that he was English, that he was intelligent, and that he was gayer than a tree full of monkeys on nitrous oxide.” (pg. 103)

Only one of these is true.

(I’ll let you read the book and find out for yourself. 😀 )

Anachron (one of my favorite creators) has designed a slew of goodies just for men!

For both Aziraphale and Crowley, there is an Ancient Hero outfit, a Formal Fantasy suit, and a Noble House outfit for you to choose from.

Park Place (another favorite!) put together an amazing set of decor items, based on Aziraphale’s bookstore.

Aziraphale isn’t really interested in selling books, but rather collecting them.

The novel tells us he uses “every means short of physical violence to prevent customers from making a purchase. Unpleasant damp smells, glowering looks, erratic opening hours — he [is] incredibly good at it.” (pg. 43)

The decor items from Park Place are based on the descriptions of the back room of Aziraphale’s shop, and I think they are spot on!

“The back room of his bookshop contains a table, chairs, and likely someplace to store copious amounts of alcohol, as he and Crowley have a proclivity for going back there for the sake of getting completely plastered and waxing philosophically on whatever suits their fancy” (pg. 47)

The set includes the desk, chair, bookcase, stack of books, rug, Agnes Nutter’s notes and book, scattered books, and some books of prophecy.

I love the worn wooden textures of the desk and the chair has very nice male and female sits in it.

Each piece is separate, so you can rez them where/how you like.

Aziraphale is wearing the Formal Fantasy suit from Anachron – I love the look of the vest with the long jacket.

It’s mesh and comes in 5 standard sizes – it’s all one piece, so it speeds up time spent faffing with your wardrobe. 😛

Thrown over the back of Aziraphale’s chair, you’ll see another fantastic item – the Miamai Aziraphale hat.

If you’re a hat person, Miamai has both Aziraphale’s hat (in 3 different colors) and a hat for Crowley as well (again in 3 colors).

In addition, Aziraphale’s hat comes with halo/no halo options (the no halo hat is pictured here) and the Crowley version has horns/no horns options.

As an avid reader myself, I always pictured Aziraphale curled up in a nook, poring over his (well, sort of) copy of Agnes Nutter’s Prophecies.

Rook and 22769 created items that fit my mental image perfectly.

This comfy wingback reading chair from Rook has a stand pose built-in (seen here), as well as a an additional seated pose (click on the book stack for it).

I love the look of 22769’s creation – such an important book as The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter deserves a special place. 😀

If you haven’t read Good Omens and you like satire and sarcasm (because, who doesn’t?!), you should purchase a copy today.

(Also, if you’re British, you’ll probably understand more of the jokes than I did, a poor Yank who’s never seen the M25.)

Stop by the Library and pick up some (or all) of these gems for yourself!

LOTD #159 – Safe and Sound

She paused for a moment, unable to shake the feeling that someone was watching her.

She glanced at the window, but no one was there. 

She shook her head, secure in the knowledge the restraining order would keep him away.
