BLONDE Ambition

It’s time to introduce you to my favorite blonde, Zedellbee Zuhal. Zee owns the retro furniture shop (in the form of a giant radio) called BLONDE. Her home store is located on Polly Jean, so you can get the best selection right at Starlust!

Zee offers the usual standards like a full kitchen set. Her prices are EXCEPTIONALLY reasonable, as well as her prim count. However, she does everything with a special twist. The oven is UK inspired, the frig actually OPENS to show food, and the washing machine shakes when you sit on it.  *coughs*

Her latest releases are STOCKHOLM 1961 living room set and the BOAT BAR. I highly recommend picking these up. Not only do they go beautifully in any retro inspired home, but they each come with a little bit of humor.   

For example, STOCKHOLM comes with two chairs (one with a foot stool), sofa, coffee table and two versions of lamps (short or tall). There is also a matching area rug ANNNNND a vintage edition of Playboy to hide when the guests show up.

BOAT BAR gives you two stools for the ladies (of course, the men would stand) and an imbedded barman animation if you sit on the bar itself. If you can click on the boat, you’re offered drinks like Sandy Bum or Sunset Strip. Nothing like a smoke and drink at the bar to help you settle in after a long day of work, aye?

Please open your homes up to BLONDE, you will love it!

Holiday Stuffs -

Wow this is the first time I've ever wished to start a Holiday newsletter... you know? Like that one my Aunt Jo send, though now she sends it via email... and I just delete it without opening it from there instead of throwing it away into a real trash can. Anyways.

Holiday stuffs going on around Starlustland!

Down in the lobby we've got a gigantic Christmas tree out and many of the vendors of Starlustland have generously dumped some gifts down there! Here are some photos of me and Stein all dressed up in the gifts!


Not everything pictured is available down in the lobby - My Moose antlers are from Illusions and I have no idea where Stein's boots and hair are from.
Hourglass shapes has a holiday gift of 4 shapes (two male, two female) down there as well... allow me to show you a photo of one of them!


We will not be holding any hunts for Christmas or New Years. There's already so much going on with wonderful things to hunt for around the grid anyways, I'm sure you won't miss one more.
The tree in the lobby is still being populated with gifts from our amazing vendors so if you stopped by earlier today you might find more stuff there tomorrow!

Around all the sims Allegory has put out snow ball fight thingies where you can actually pelt one another and there are stats and all that fancy stuff. Mind the yellow snow while you run around slaughtering one another with snowballs... we're not known for our strong bladders around here:/

Thinking... thinking... I think that's it!
One more photo - for posterity and a linky thing so you can easily teleport to the tree!

There may be snow on the mountains...

...but there's still a fire in the furnace.



Winter has come to the Starlust! There's been a bit of a blizzard, covering the sims in a soft blanket of snow. That's still new enough we haven't gotten it horribly black and filthy....yet.

(Just don't eat the yellow snow.)












Many thanks to Amyla Wakowski for taking pity on my poor no Atmospheric Shaders self, and taking lovely pictures for me!

JuJu’s Closet on Polly Jean

Allow me to introduce you to the wonders in JuJu’s Closet!

Designer Juwan Lane is fiercely fashion savy and not afraid to be a little naughty at times! Here are my picks as some of her hot items as seen on the Polly Jean sim (aka the giant shoe box!)

The Millennium is offered in many colors, depicted is Ruby. I’m a big fan of rubies and recommend them highly as gifts for moi.  The cost is a mere pittance at $280L for a stunningly sculpted prim skirt and more legs than a bucket of chicken.

The next item is the Austin Jacket.  This jacket is the SHIT. For $200L you get jacket layers with undershirts, prim sculpted collar/pockets and the ever-endearing POOFER. The texturing is flattering for men and women. It’s worth every linden.

SO! There you have it. A peek into one of the best closets this side of the grid. Stop by Polly Jean, spend some time and some money at JuJu’s Closet. You won’t be disappointed.

Peace.

Deliciously Repressed

I wanted to finish my store at the wonderfully quirky Starlust Motel and my new line of Deliciously Repressed shapes before I went away for a few days and WHEW, it is done! Ok, I'm off to sleep a bit before I head off to noooo yaaawk cittay.

Take this taxi to (HOTBOX) for the Deliciously Repressed Collection, including a special for the coupon-clipper. Each shape comes with eyebrow shapers and facelights. Demos available in the cookie jar!!

Who? What? Where?

Who is this Polly Jean?!
AND
What does she sell?

Well, those are two fantastic questions!

The WHO.........

Polly Jean likes long walks, playful kisses, gin and tonics on the rocks with extra lime. Steve McQueen is the perfect man, and at bars, she can score on the first try.  She's vivacious, smart, and baths regularly...if she's so inclined.  

The WHAT.......

I pleased to offer you a current listing of all the DELIGHTFUL shops now a part of the Polly Jean and The Starlust Motel community. These shops where hand crafted by small elves that live in Melatonin's pants. *blinks* no no. wait.

豚肉が一番好きです!!!

Dear 友達：

Do you know what my #1 favorite thing is? I do! 豚肉 (buta niku) - pork! I love it so much that I even love to wear it, which is why I was absolutely ecstatic to find the Heartattack & Vine Breakfast in Bed dress, Short Bus Moons Over My Hammy set (with matching bacon & egg earrings), and Short Bus Piggie Back tat. I even recently found a job at the Flopdog on Lloyd, just so I could stay close to the delicious smell of crackling pork fat all day long. It gets SO hot in that Flopdog stand, though, that I've got to keep my hair up in BP*'s Autumn Natural Chignon - which is actually just fine
because that hair is totes kawaii!!


After a long, hot day slaving over Flopdogs, all I want to do is strip down to my Moons Over My Hammy bacon and eggs, and settle down at the picnic tables with a nice juicy hot dog and a tasty Schadenfreude Bacontini (I like to nom the bacon first, of course).



I'll leave you for now with my favorite recipe for pork chops Calvados and a bit of poetry I composed with the help of my bacontini.

Pork with Apples, Calvados and Cider


Oh, bacon
You're so fine,
You're so fine,
You blow my mind!
Hey, bacon!


Ex oh ex oh,

Hollar at a trash hunt!

The hunt ends tonight (nov. 9th) so if you haven't had the opportunity to swing by yet put down your ponygirl and hurry on over!

Massive Starlustland Trash Hunt - Nov. 7th to 9th.

We skipped Halloween here at Starlustland because the grid was just really already full of fun things to do. Everyone was so busy participating or reaping the benefits of so many great Halloween events in real life and on here. Hunts, Haunted places to go explore and so many parties. The aftermath of it all though has left Starlustland in quite a state of disarray! Litter litter everywhere (some of it physical!) and not a drop to drink. But our trash is your treasure this weekend. Nov. 7th to the 9th we're having a massive Starlustland Trash hunt. Specifics of which will come sporadically this week so keep an eye out.
Until then... go dig up your rubber gloves and pocket sized hand sanitizers... They'll come in handy!

Hmmmm.

きのこの手紙

Dear 友達：

Early November is the perfect time for mushroom hunting. The delicately perfumed carpet of newly-fallen leaves provides a perfect environment for the most extravagantly-hued and delicious little fungi. One must always carry the appropriate guide, though, as many mushrooms can be poisonous. I happened upon some of the loveliest mushroom specimens I've found to date in MCH at the Starlust Motel on Lloyd. Just as one must have the appropriate guide, one must also have the appropriate attire.

The days are growing chillier, but one also needs freedom of movement when searching the forest floor, so wearing too many layers is simply out of the question. The Agent Debbie coat from Thimbles and the Electric Feel knit cap (with, ahem, hair of course) proved just the right uniform for the job. I'll have to find some matching gloves for next time, though, as you can probably see from the pictures I've enclosed, digging through the dirt made a horror of my manicure.

All right, mes petits chouchous, I'm going to pan fry these lovely little fungi in some garlic and olive oil. Here's to hoping I don't grow absurdly tall or shrink absurdly small or just barf and die.

Ex oh ex oh,

秋子 Akiko

Big Booty, Big Money on Floyd

BBBM is one of the first shops in world that I ever fell madly in love with. I just thought everything from the textures to the ads was so incredibly visually interesting and unusual for what I'd then been exposed to in SL.


The Big Booty, Big Money Navy Zygote Tiger Dress is one of my first SL purchases and still one of my favorite dresses to wear. Oh I just heard the strangest noise behind me. It was like a cricket really fast and loud or a cicada... only just for a split second. So weird. This next dress, the Big Booty, Big Money Space Ball Sunshine Dress I love more than the first. I love it because it's f'king huge. It flounces. It's princessy but not in a frilly little girl way. I'm not a frilly little girl. I wore it to the grand opening of the first Motel, Hank loved it. I think he wished he could have worn something equally grand.


Recently we've had the serendipitous luck to host BBBM in a giant sunken ship on Floyd. It's weird, it's awkward to walk through, it's dusky and filled with dangerous man eating piranha. I'm flippin overjoyed that Evelyn took the space and made it booty and moneyfull. It's neat, it's fun to explore and there are definitely worthwhile reasons to!


Evelyn's new dresses are so incredibly gorgeous. I've seen so few in world with the same quality and creativity behind them. Her Big Booty, Big Money Epilogue Dress, Metal isn't even my most recent favorite, but it's so lovely I wanted to put a photo of it here. The textures are rich, the colors are so complimentary. If you haven't been to BBBM and think your inventory is sorely lacking (which, I agree... it IS) then click on over and come see for yourself. Look around for a mystery gift as well as a stack of her older releases marked down so low it's a crime not to get them! BBBM on Floyd!

Meat Carver - Devo on Floyd.

So last week Meat Carver joined our sick little family of Starlustland and ever since... every day it's been hard to stop playing with his toys and do work and stuff. A lot of people are already familiar with his products from his shop at Hotel Dare and/or knowing him personally. Since I'm a shut-in who rarely leaves Starlustland I wasn't and boy howdy did I nearly crap my pants.

I love trees and since we're always in favor of adding more to the boys, I plopped the "DEVO" ORANGE TREE down on Lloyd to see it in action before moving it over to the mountain area (which I haven't done yet... so if you wanted to see it in action too head on over to the Motel Lobby and look around for it) and I don't think this photo does justice to how awesome it is. It grows oranges that perpetually fall from the tree and roll away, it's genius.

Stein and I went over the other day together and immediately she started serenading me with her "DEVO" ACCORDION, which plays an addictive little tune on a loop. There are animations included that make your av. play it and we did for about an hour and a half. Nonstop


Lastly I think I got the most fun out of the "DEVO" PETS. It's as many pets as you could possibly imagine rezzing, all attached by chain leashes to a handle or stick that you hold in your hand. They follow you around, they're ride able... they wreak havoc. And havoc... well... I do so love to wreak it. Stein and I ran around the sims until she crashed, and after that I wrought some havoc on my own around Lloyd. Then I let them off their leash and sat down while they perpetually collided with people.

Anyhoo. I f'king love this store and I' m so glad Mr. Carver's finally joined us! Go visit DEVO on Floyd!

naith Smit Designs on Floyd!

Walking into naith Smit's shop is like walking into a shop of creature comforts for me. Mixing my two favorite things... black tank tops and hooded sweatshirts. Mr. Smit has really lovely neko tails and ears, menswear and women's alike in his shop. This blog post isn't going to do the quality of Mr. Smit's designs justice. I simply love this shirts and you probably will to. So go!
