#546 - Sim Exploring in new {zfg} - Another Furry Sandbox

Wandering around Second Life with my new {zfg} clothing releases today, I found a sandbox I hadn't heard of before. So I visited and took pictures there. I am wearing some recent releases from {zfg}. I have the {zfg} Onyx Dark (cropped sweater) and Paramour heels this time around.

{ZFG} ONYX TOP & PARAMOUR HEELS

I love the crop sweaters. Just the right amount of coverage. Keeps me warm enough! This is a recent release from {zfg} now in the store. I am also wearing the {zfg} Paramour heels. Both are worn on the Maitreya but include sizes for other mesh bodies including: Bellezas, Tonics, Slinks & Maitreya. The fatpack for the Onyx Dark sweater has 6 textures all dark with different sayings on them. This one above says "Keep Out Of Direct Sunlight". There are 4 available individually and 6 in the fatpack!

{ZFG} PARAMOUR HEELS

The {zfg} Paramour heels are some sky high heels and they look and fit great on my Maitreya feet! Very classy and elegant, there is a strap around the ankle that is not shown here. The Paramour heels include sizes for the Belleza, Slink, TMP and Maitreya. There are 4 colors available individually and 6 colors in the fatpack too. Come and get them ladies! They are waiting on you!

ANOTHER FURRY SANDBOX - CASTLE AREA

And of course I can't end without showing off the Another Furry Sandbox sim just a little bit. It is a hangout place and mall. So there are many places around the sim to unbox and or just hangout and a mall/shopping area. I ventured up to the castle there. They do ask you to accept Experiences so you are met with that choice upon arriving. It just allows you to move around more freely on the sim rather than having to click or sit on the teleports. Not sure what else, I wasn't there for very long.

ANOTHER FURRY SANDBOX - CRYSTAL COLUMNS

I saw these tall Crystal Columns (purchase at Cerridwen's Cauldron) that caught my eye! This was past the mall shops and a couple gathering areas (clubs maybe?), near the teleport to the building platform. Which has a grid on it for aligning your prims (or measuring them). I enjoyed my visit there and there isn't a group you have to have to rez there. There is a 4 Hour return time though. Which, should be plenty of time depending on what you are doing. Sounds kinda standard to me. It's a very pretty place! I will certainly return.

#545 - Group Gift Shape from Facet Shapes - Iris

Gifts! Don't you just love gifts! Facet Shapes has a new Group Gift shape, Iris. She is so shapely too! Made for Catwa Catya and the Maitreya Lara Mesh Body, she is a sexy shape I will be using as long as I can (or I will be returning to!). She is a little wider on the hips than the previous shape I showed, Celia (which is still an Exclusive @ Twe12ve). Check her out:

+FS+ GROUP GIFT SHAPE - IRIS

Here she is! Facet Shapes - Iris is a shapely cutie! I have not edited her at all, and I am wearing her with the Catwa Uma head and Maitreya Lara Mesh Body. Grab her ladies, before she is gone!

While I was testing her out, I took a swim on a sim I have never visited before. This is a mostly underwater sim called VeGeTaLPLaNeT. Most is underwater, but there are some land areas up top too. It is a very spacey and interesting world to traverse. You can dance here on the mountain top or below the surface. There is a chill out lounge and other areas to explore. There is also a bubble ride that you take to ride around the sim on the mountain top.

+FS+ GROUP GIFT SHAPE - IRIS

Here's a better picture of the +FS+ Iris shape. Don't forget to wear your tag to get this when you go to the store. I love how I nearly blended into the background in some areas of this sim. The colors above and below sea level are so amazing. This skin is the most recent Group Gift from Fallen Gods, Evolution +FGInc.+ Biologic Opal, Musk. I hope you've picked her/him up already, this was only available until Jan 25th. Plus two other Evolution skins were offered at discounted prices too. Not sure when or if they will be offered soon in the store (additional discounted skins that were offered).

DARK PASSIONS NAILS @ THE GOTHIC GARAGE SALE

And, of course, I have some nails to go with this lovely skin too. These are currently at the Gothic Garage Sale (until Feb 4th). Above you see a few of the nails designs offered at this event. First, I have the Foiled Goth - Pastel (top left), Foiled Goth (top right) and finally two shades of the Sinister Gradient nails. The DP - Foiled Goths are both new designs and at a discount here. All the other nails you will see at this event are also marked down some very discounted! If you love Dark Passions nails, ladies (or gentlemen!) then get there before the event is over! There are a lot of different designs there, but only until Feb 4th! There is also a $5L Hunt at this event too! See below for the object you will be hunting. This event is hosted on the same sim as the Dark Passions store.

 And now, I leave you with another couple of photos of the VeGeTaLPLaNeT sim! Then the credits! Happy Shopping & Hunting!

#544 - Getting My Zen On With The {zfg} Home Ohm Zen Garden

Why would you need a Zen Garden? Well, it has its benefits. It's meant to help keep you connected to your spirituality, and if you are a spiritual person, this may be one of your goals. It can be a reminder of your spirituality and can help you make it through the rest of the day. Or help you to relax after a long day, if that is the case.

It can help you focus, stimulates creativity, promotes relaxation and stress relief. Besides it being a beautiful part of your garden. A place to get away and take time to care for yourself!

At Swank this month, {zfg} has a beautiful 7-piece Zen Garden for your home.

{ZFG} HOME OHM ZEN GARDEN

All the pieces are seen here, with one duplication of the bamboos on either side (but it is copy) of me. This is the {zfg} Home Ohm Zen Garden. Swank runs until Jan 31st. Then it will be in the store. You can buy separate pieces or the full set at the event. Come and take a look at the display and then you can pick it up and take it home! The cushion includes one pose for meditation. I love it as the newest addition to the yard. A nice quiet place to sit and focus.

#542 - Party Girl Moves!

It's never too early to get ready for the weekend, or to just go out and work off some energy. And surely that is what I did and try to do a bit more recently. We all need to do that to release the stuff that weighs us down at times, right?

-=MaG=- CARO DRESS - NEW RELEASE

This is the -=MaG=- Caro Dress, this is a new release in the store and it is made for both Classic and Mesh bodies! There are sizes included for Standard Avatars, Bellezas, Slinks, Ebody (Classic & Curvy), Maitreya, TMP and Tonic! Lotta bodies covered ladies! And, it comes with a Hud with 8 textures too! So 8 different designs here. Check it out! It fits nice a snug on this Maitreya body seen above. I feel like a million bucks in this and the compliments I've received back up the feeling!

This shape is also an Exclusive Release at Twe12ve this month! This is Facet Shapes - Celia. Celia is made for the Catwa Catya Head and the Maitreya body. I've edited her to fit the Catwa Uma Head. I have not edited the body at all, so this is the original body shape you see here. Pick her up at Twe12ve!

-=MaG=- CARO DRESS --- POSES BY CUCA @ THE POSE FAIR

And there is a little black dress texture in here too! You know we all need one of those, right? There is a nice variety of textures in the hud. I am only showing off the darker ones here. There are however, a few lighter ones and brocade-like textures in there too. Very lovely textures, it was hard to decide which ones to preview here. But, with this backdrop and poses (@ The Pose Fair), it wasn't too hard! Party time! Find this dress @ MacMoragh an Gabha!

How about this hair? I love the ladies Mohawks from Adoness! Edgy and stylish, they speak to the vamp in me! Mmhhmmm! You can find this style, Adoness - Asteria 2.0 @ Salon 52, which was previously Hairology. This is the Greyscale set seen here. Salon 52 runs thru Feb 4th! Don't miss it!

DARK PASSIONS - SATURDAY SALE (AVAIL UNTIL THURSDAY) - MOONDROPS NAILS

I needed some nails to match the shimmery textures I wore dancing and these nails from Dark Passions filled that need! These are the Dark Passions - Moondrops Nail set. They are a Saturday Sale Item and still available in the store for the sale price until Thursday ladies (or gents!)! So go grab them! This is a great moon design and they look great! I am wearing them on Omega Compatible Mesh Nails, but you will also receive the Slink and Maitreya appliers in the package too.

MAKEUPS BY ZIBSKA, MAI AND BOOTY'S BEAUTY

I also stopped by the Gloss and found a couple of makeups I thought added immensely to the party girl look I wanted to achieve. This is the Zibska ~ Akane Makeup and the Mai. - Volume 4 Catwa Lashes. Both are at Gloss thru the end of the month. The lipstick and brows are from *Booty's Beauty*, they are the Fancy Brows set 1 and Stygian Makeup (lipstick), both made for Catwa heads.

I hope I've shown you something you just have to own! If so, here are links that will help you find those items and check the credits for the rest!

#541 - Keep Winter Close to You with Wintry Themed Nails from Dark Passions!

The snow is so pretty here! It's not fun to drive around in though! If you are missing out on the snow, or just love snowflakes, I have some nails you might like to have! You can be in a warm weather climate for the winter but still enjoy the beauty and uniqueness of snowflakes with these designs from Dark Passions.

DARK PASSIONS - WINTER REFLECTIONS NAILS

 This design was available at the Winter's Hollow event last month and are now in the store (or will be soon!). There are actually two slightly different versions you can purchase. The Winter Reflections and the Wiccan Winter Reflections. The one I am showing here have what appears to be a pearl in the center of the snowflake design on the nails. The Wiccan version has a pentagram in the center of the snowflake design. Both were available at the event and now will be in the store soon, if not already.

DARK PASSIONS - WINTER REFLECTIONS NAILS (OMEGA APPLIERS)

Here are more colors of the Dark Passions - Winter Reflections Nails. Shown on the #EMPIRE Coffin Mesh Nails (Maitreya hands - Omega compatible) in the photos.

DARK PASSIONS - SNOW WISH NAILS (OMEGA APPLIERS)

The Dark Passions - Snow Wish Nails are a candy cane striped nail with snowflake insets in varying colors. There are five color snowflakes to choose from in this set. This set is one of the sets outside the store right now with a winter theme. There are many more sets there and they are discounted. So check those out!

This partially hidden hair seen here is Asteria 2.0, a new release from Adoness @ the Salon 52 event (previously known as Hairology). This is the first I've heard of this event for everything related to hair! So something new to check out! Asteria 2.0 is a lady mohawk/mullet-like style with side locks! Long layered locks hangs over one of your eyes in the front and you can wear it with or without the side locks too. It is a gorgeous style and if you are a fan of Adoness hair (or not!) you will want to pick this one up!

The shape here is from Facet Shapes - Celia and she is at the current Twe12ve Event that runs all month long! She is an Exclusive and can only be purchased at the event right now. Celia is made for the Catwa Catya head and Maitreya body, but I have edited her to fit my Catwa Uma head. This shape will work for most any mesh body as well as Maitreya too.

DARK PASSIONS - DARK SNOW WISH NAILS (OMEGA APPLIERS)

There is also a second version of the Snow Wish nails. The Dark Snow Wish. Still in a candy cane stripe, but black and white with the varying colored snowflakes. A few of the designs outside the store do have a light and dark version. And they are discounted too! Lots to choose from!

CLOSE UP OF THE DARK PASSIONS - SNOW WISH NAILS

 And I close with a close up of the Dark Passions - Snow Wish Nails! Come check out all the designs available and keep winter near you without the cold temps!

#540 - City Stroll

Went out for a stroll around the city for quite a while to clear my head. I've been thinking on some things that kinda stressed me out. So, time for some quiet time to walk it off.

{zfg} RESOLUTIONS (T-SHIRT), DORCAS (SKIRT) & NAUGHTY BOOTS (GROUP GIFT)

All the clothing I am wearing is from {zfg}. I am wearing the new Resolutions shirt, Dorcas skirt and the new Group Gift Naughty boots! 

The {zfg} Resolutions shirt talks about your New Year Resolutions in a more, shall we say, clear, concise and honest way? And that is putting it extremely lightly! It is made for both classic and mesh avatar bodies, including sizes for Bellezas, Tonic, Slinks, Maitreya, TMP and 5 Standard Mesh sizes. It is available to purchase in 4 individual designs or the fatpack with the 6 texture hud. If you identify with the expressions on these shirts, you will want to pick this set up!

{zfg} Dorcas, was previously at The Naughty List last month and should now be in the store. This is a tiny mini skirt that doesn't leave much to the imagination! This one is made for mesh bodies only with sizes for Bellezas, Slinks, Tonics, eBody and Maitreya.

The new Group Gift, {zfg} Naughty boots, are a front lacing, very sexy, thigh high boot that comes with a hud of 6 colors. The Naughty boots come in sizes for Belleza, Slink and Maitreya mesh bodies only.  I am wearing all these items on the Maitreya Lara Mesh Body. Remember to wear your tags when you come to grab the group gift!

Well, the sun has started to set, and I am feeling pretty good now. Time to get on home and prepare for some nightlife!

If you were not aware yet, the {zfg} store has moved! Make sure you grab the new LM when you land! And come check out the new store too! A whole new layout!

#539 - Christmas Town Is Still Around!

I couldn't get in when it opened or before Christmas sadly, but I decided to see if it was still around and IT IS! Yay!!! Anyway, I wanted to go on the ride there and did not know it would take us all around the sim. So who better to ice skate with but my hubby, Soccer! And that is what we did! For quite a while! It was nice to be on a nearly empty sim alone skating and chatting! So glad it was still around so we could still enjoy it! Anyway, I took some pics of the scenery and the skating ride we went on over and over! 

I did ask how long the town would be open, but I did not receive a reply so I can't tell you that! Sorry, maybe I will get one and I can update this post. But until then, I'd try the link!

SKATING RIDE BEGINS

Hmmm, I can't remember if there were areas in here that were flashing much. There might have been one, it was not long. I do not recall seeing any epileptic warnings before entering the ride either. 

MIRACLE ON 34TH STREET - CHRISTMAS TOWN SKATING RIDE/TOUR

Nice to go thru all these Christmas/Winter scenes/movie sets. There is an attachment you are asked to accept at the beginning if you want to hear the music and sound effects. If not, you can just listen to your media player for the sim music. I'd suggest taking the attachement, it attaches automatically and plays throughout the ride. It detaches once you leave the castle. If you go again, you will need to accept it again.

CHARLIE BROWN CHRISTMAS

Lots of fun memories of Christmas favorites. The Grinch was in there too! And Whoville.

VISIT TO ELSA'S CASTLE

Of course there was a Frozen area and I was pretty into it as you can see! The couple skating animations usually kept us in sync, but with me camming around and trying to get some decent shots, my PC did not handle this well! I don't know if that is a normal thing or not.

PATHWAY LEAVING ELSA'S CASTLE

The pathway leading away from the castle (if I remember correctly!) The ride is much longer than shown here. I can't share all the pictures and areas...there is a lot to see on the ride.

SKATING AROUND CHRISTMAS TOWN

Then you can stay on the poseballs when you leave the ride for the tour around Christmas Town. So we did! And, set your environment to midnight! Gorgeous! This is not the first time I've been here, I usually came by to shop, not travel around the sim skating and it was fun with someone (the hubby) to share the time with.

BEHIND THE CHRISTMAS TOWN CASTLE

Hopefully, it's around for at least a month! Then I can get back there and do it again! It's great when there aren't many people there. A lot easier to skate without lag. The only thing to make it better might have been to have skates on, but I could have missed that on the way in! And then, I may not have added them anyway, so never mind!

Christmas Town
End date - Unknown - Ending soon I would guess! 15th? 20th?

#538 - For the Guys! From -=MaG=-

And of course there is something for the guys from MacMoragh an Gabha. Yes, gents, here is a men's sweatshirt to keep you warm!

-=MaG=- WOLF OR DRAGON SWEATSHIRT

Perfect for the cold days ahead. The sweatshirt comes in both red and blue with the dragon prints on blue and the wolf on the red. 8 textures in all. Here you see it on the Signature Gianni, but get this,  he is wearing the Jake size. Each different size took a little alpha-ing in different places but not much. The Belleza Jake size seemed to fit better over pants than the Signature Gianni did, so that is why he is in the Jake size. The sizes included are the Belleza Jake, Signature Gianni, Slink and one Fitmesh Classic size.  

Here are a few more of the prints from the included hud:

-=MaG=- WOLF OR DRAGON SWEATSHIRT

This is just one item from the -=MaG Fashions=- for men in the store now! Pay him a visit and see what else is there for you guys. You can find men's clothing, ladies clothing and weapons! -=MaG=- does some fine kilts for men too!

#537 - Beautiful Asian Style from -=MaG=-

Nobody likes to wait, but sometimes you just do to give the benefit of the doubt. However, I was waiting too long one day. At least I was looking good while doing so! For instance, I was wearing this beautiful Cheongsam Dress from MacMoragh an Gabha Fashions (-=MaG=-).

-=MaG=- CHEONGSAM DRESS, #HASHBANG! NEON CITY GACHA SIGNS & KISETSU - HANA KANZASHI

The Cheongsam Dress is an Asian style silk print, this one in cream but includes an 8 texture hud and super short! SUPER short, okay! Make sure you have something on under there ladies! Unless that is how you roll! Then do you, and know you are going to peek out from under there as you walk. Lol, a forewarning! Yes, I am wearing something under there, so no problem there. This dress is worn above on the Maitreya, but it also comes in sizes for both mesh and classic avatar bodies. The sizes include Standard Mesh sizes (XXS - L), Bellezas, Slinks, Maitreya and TMP. Lots of sizes here.

The neon signs here are from #hashbang! and are at the Gachaland January Round. There are 12 signs including 2 Rares. If you are familiar with #hashbang! you know there are definitely more options in each sign via a menu. They range from 1 to 7 prims land impact per sign and have options to change 2 colors, 12 color presets and 4 modes (On/Off/Flashing/Flickering).

-=MaG=- CHEONGSAM DRESS & KISETSU - PINE/BAMBOO KANZASHI - SOFT

Here is a close up for a better view of the Cheongsam Dress and so you can also see the kisetsu - Pine/Bamboo Kanzashi - Soft, which are available now at the current SaNaRae event. There are three pieces in each kanzashi set. There are three various sets there; Frost, Green and Soft (shown above). SaNaRae runs until Jan 17th.

And also from -=MaG=- leather RLV collars for...well, anytime. For everyday...

-=MaG=- BURNT RED LEATHER COLLAR WITH RLV

This is the -=MaG=- Burnt Red Collar, it is OC Scripts driven by Peanut no.9 and are RLV enabled. You can expect all the same functionality of RLV collars you may have previously owned. There are three colors available that I have for you today, here is the White Leather Collar:

-=MaG=- BURNT RED LEATHER COLLAR WITH RLV (FOR YOUR ROLE PLAY)

Here I am wearing the -=MaG Collars=- White Leather Collar. You are able to resize them easily with the menu. and adjust them for your perfect fit. Very easy. And hide them if you need, also via the menu. And you can turn off RLV entirely if you do not need it. Those are the Burnt Red and the White Leather and here are some close up pictures of one of them.

-=MaG COLLARS=- BURNT RED  & PINK LEATHER COLLARS 

Above you see the Burnt Red and the Pink Leather Collars from -=MaG=- all this and more in the store now! The pink is a very soft pink, it is a bit more pink than you see above due to the lighting (woops!). 

Here are the links you need to get you where you wanna go!
