Golden Leaves Turn Into Snowflakes...

Mushroom Hunting

I took on this hunt because it was short and I love Mushrooms and Autumn.  I hoped for some great finds that incorporate both.  I was not disappointed.
Brasil Norte - Encounter with little critters on the mushroom hunt is the closest I have come to the real thing on the hunt.  As a PNW Fairy with I have spent many a day in the woods hunting mushrooms, and it really is a lot like this...Chillin' with tea and the little ones.

Unpacking the Mushroom Hunt


 The mouse, I think it snuck into my inventory while I was at Brasil Norte!  ;) I have to save it from the owl, hopefully she will not notice him.

I do love the Owl and want her to flourish, but these mice are so few and far between.  Maybe next time.
11 November 2011 in the wee hours of the morning….

Blaze recommended this, but I do not think this is what she had in mind since she said something to the effect of "get out and fish" implying some out-in-the-inworld-ness, instead of camping in the games room of Sn@tch for many hours. She cannot complain since she inherited my extras.
Later that night…after a full day of RL.
11/11/11 right at 11:11pm

Cheers to 11-11-11!  A toast to the Oneness of it all and a moment of thanks that this fragile world we live in grants me the opportunity to play around in SL.  Wish I could say I planned it, but I think it is even more special that I did not, just looked down at 11:10 and smacked the bottle of Brut on the table and got a glass of bubbly.
Thought I could send a picture and outfit details in some shortcut manner that would inspire me to write more about it but I was sadly mistaken.  Guess I am really not a fashion blogger, but I will start tagging things once I take over my blog from Blaze, and I figure out how to do it.  She has been fabulous in so many ways, least of which is posting for me, but I am a big girl and kinda smart, so I will learn.  So much for the helpless bimbo act…I guess…I can play it other times to get other things done for me. *eyelash batting*

Wearing: Skintimate $75 L Skin, that is awesome and I think I got as a Freebie.  Flirty Gurl Toffee, but it is not toffee, but I do not think they wanted to advertise it as mustard, but I love it! The outfit is the product of 4 hours of fishing at Sn@tch and another fisherwoman gave me #15, glad I waited for the dog collar…cherry on top. 
After getting all dolled up, I went to Lesbian Paradise to dance.  I was surprised when I rezzed in there that they had torn everything apart in favor of an Arabian Nights theme.  They may have been doing this for a while, it has been a while since I have been there.  Luckily I had one outfit of Silks ready to go so I changed really quick before entering.  I was one of the handful dressed for the theme, but I was proud of myself.  I got there late and everyone left the moment the radio came on.  Wonder where they went??  I roamed around for a while and explored this beautiful build.

So many Unicorns and I could not tame a one of them…*wink, wink*


Camels and Elephants too!  They were more tamable, but not as mythical, shucks!

Kinda bummed that my shoes were stubborn and would not match my skin. :(
18 November 2011
Spent the night unpacking boxes from Group Gifts and misc. acquisitions.  Foreshadowing:  I did not finish for a couple more days.  I have to say I was not expecting this...

SLART KULT gave me a Porsche..random but cool. Belle would not approve, so I will not tell her.  ;}
29 November 2011
The Turkey Day blitz over and some X-Mas shopping done I got into a Winter/X-Mas build.  Yasum is extremely generous and gave away this Santa's workshop with all the trimmings. I go rid of the workshop and kept the house.  I also did not keep the outdoor stuff since I needed to use less prims, no complaints though, not that any of their stuff is particularly primmy, there was just a lot of it, and well x-Mas stuff is prim-tastic, but that is the same everywhere.  Anyway, I wanted an ice skating rink and I acquired 4 just trying to find the right one.  At least I found the Figure Skater Outfit right off. :)

It is going to be sad not to spend more time in my little Winter Wonderland, but RL is calling me make prezzies and to be with friends and family in our combined Solstice and X-Mas gatherings.

Halloween Special Edition!

28 October - 1 November 2011
This year we get a whole weekend to Hoot and Haunt!
28 October 2011
Belle and I on the Friday Night date, RL is being a "b" to us.  I usually do end up making us go to my favorite destination…Idle Rogue for Guerilla Burlesque.  This show was definitely special, the venue was done in ruins and opened up onto the Haunted Garden.  Of course mostly, it was special because we looked awesome…

The only downside is that I kept crashing…it was a bit of a bummer since there were actually fewer people there than usual, I have had better luck on a night when there was 50+.  Should look into it: the time you are in a sim improves your chances of having a good show, because certainly since we started getting there later we have had more lag.  I have watched entire acts where the girl is grey until the last moment of the act.
The Guerilla Girls and Boys put together an excellent Halloween Spectacular, but the one that kept me giggling the longest was this number with Shippy (?) and two of the girls doing an excellently choreographed number to "Bad to the Bone."
And then we danced for a long while in the Haunted Garden behind the theater.  


I made a costume change after one of my crashes rendered me a cloud upon my return.  I think I am a pretty damn smexy Demon Skeleton.

I kept moving but a few feet higher than Belle and I really felt little stiff.
Then we "hung out" at Belle's for some photo opps with costumes on.
Then we tried out the Cauldron that Blaze left on The Bubble Stage.

30 October 2011
Started to do the Haunted Forests Hunt but I got stuck at this one and since there are no numbers or LMs or anything I did not know where to go next and ditched it. The group was no help at all, they kept talking around me and not offering help to me, but others got it.  Bummed since I did want to gather some of the goodies.
The Upside…I got just what I needed…

A properly Witchy scene to go with Blaze's Cauldron and Belle's Owl.  I am trying on the Autumn Leaves Gown that I got from Rag Dollz MM board.  It is lovely. 
HAPPY HALLOWEEN with The Chateau Amazons!!
 31 October 2011
RL fun is over, did my parties and now get to have fun in SL and hand out candy…not a bad night!
We started at Belle's Box, where the Shroom Hats, lovely grass, and Spooky trees were just enough to give it the right touch.

Our assignment for this party was to come up with three different outfits; formal, creepy, and casual.  We started with the Formals of course…

 
Then we did semi-formal…Witchy Best…I really should have bought more hats, I was alarmed to discover that I only had the purple one.  Even Belle had three, and that is not like her. 

And then the slutty theme…this one came up when we realized that we each had "casual" outfits that were a bit risque, in fact Belle would not take her sweater off until she could find the appropriate bra to go under the shirt.  She knew we would be snapping pix(hehehe). We also had to do a quick change because Belle was annoyed that she could not get completely out of the Inquisition outfit, no matter how hard she tried.

After playing with the Cauldron, we finally drug out all the Poseballs for 3 that we had lying around in our inventories.The first ones Blaze put in the big cauldron, since she cannot seem to stay out of hot water.
 It was fun and sweet, maybe too sweet for a Halloween party.  So we had a macabre intermission…

That V is certainly the scariest of all the costumes Belle tried on, much scarier/creepy than my Demon Skull, it has really grown on me.

Back to the sweet and exhausting our Halloween Outfits before the Veil thickens again and orange and black becomes a forbidden color combo.

Awww, Aren't we cute??
Belle had to go and Blaze and I had to do a little more celebrating.  I taught her about the Wiccan Holiday (though I am pretty sure she already knew it, just playing coy so I will babble on about something).  We danced on the Pentagram for a little while to celebrate the New Year!
1 November 2011
El Dia De Los Muertos
Found out that this set had more poses than the crawling from the grave one near a tombstone.  I love this for the holiday's proper observance.  Yeah I am a lapsed closet Wiccan.

Making sure I was exhausted of Photo Opps before I tore down this stage…just one last one….

That is good for this year…next year we will have even more goods for the occasion and even more fun!
