Pig Sale!

There's a sale at Pig. Everything is 50L. Fatpacks are all discounted to random numbers. I don't know when the sale is going to end (I don't think ANYONE knows when the sale is going to end, including our fair Apatia), so you might wanna get your ass thataways soon. Pig is great for things to clothe your paper doll girlie and your manvatar, good and beautiful hand drawn staples. And underwear.



Special thanks to Achariya for being the lovely manthing I could molest there, and for taking the pictures with her/him in them, as I got to see her as naked manRuth, which was not exactly what I was going for <3

Get thee to Pig!

Lloyd, triumphant

Lloyd's been open during construction (which is still going on, a lot!), but a few things have opened up!

Pig is open again on Lloyd, in the new iglesia de tocino. There's also a flickr group for Pig and assorted relatedness, finally!

Mr. Tentacle is also finally back, in a giant octopus. You can see Herman Melville in the background there, the home of TOSL- which has stayed open and ready the whole time (and I hear there's new stuff as of yesterday!)

fashionably dead is alive and well on Lloyd- especially since Tableau is down for remodelling! Skins are on the upper floor. As is the cat.

fox in the snow, with its art t-shirts, is still in the little cottage, you can see the little ~silentsparrow~ birdhouse behind it.

The Motel has been rebuilt- one floor this time, with a kidney bean shaped pool- the squid floaty still loves to hold you. The back three rooms are taken up by Free*Style, though the motel recently was moved so things had to be sent back, and most of them haven't put their stuff back out yet!

Also in the Motel is Miss Shippe's Studio. Inside you can find facepainting warpaints to adorn your noggin.

The only SMERSH currently in existence is in another motel room. Life is incomplete without a frickin laser shark.

High above Lloyd is Antebellum, safe from the chaos of de/construction, where you can find a great selection of facial hair for your mustache wearing desires.

And, of course, the Schadenfreude Elephant is still standing in his corner of Lloyd, staring out at the sea. (Mostly) unmolested by the doings around him.

(All pictures are unedited but for cropping, taken in a viewer with shadows and depth of field. After 4 months of working on a busted computer, I finally have new hotness that can handle all this, so I've been playing around with it. Still buggy a bit...but new computer doesn't even have Photoshop yet, as my install disks are not where I am.)

The Starlust's Last (One Night) Stand

Ok, you know, that's a total lie, right? We're still going to be sluts and have more one night stands. We can't help it, it's that kind of motel. Come join us at the lobby, there's enough loving (and vodka) to go around.



What it is though, is a weekend bash of awkward making out (Melatonin Hax and Apatia Hammerer are manning the kissing booths this moment), exclusives with portions going to the Starlust slush fund (we don't actually spend it on hookers and blow....we wish we could, but dammit, do you know how expensive tier is? It's like LL has no respect for hookers and blow), and ANARCHY. I hear there may be fireworks on Horst tonight. And griefing. Officially sanctioned griefing. I hear Stein's bringing party favours.


(Mel and Horrid kissing)

The Starlust is NOT going to be gone. But it is going to change. Floyd has already passed into the hands of Putrid Gloom (and her filthy assistant Horrid Twine) and will be something new. Horst, Harold, and Gaylord are being sold off, *sniff*. Lloyd is staying Starlusty. There are actually a lot of really good and positive reasons for this, but it is a big change. But I need to actually post this this weekend and not be the slackingest blogger ever as usual, so maybe I'll ramble on about it more later.


(Appy and I make out, because, you know, we do that occasionally)

But! If you want to say goodbye to the sims as they are now, you might want to act fast. Horst's already been gutted a bit (actually Horst's already been sold, technically, but LL is also slower than molasses on following through and finishing that).

The Panty Raid is Ending!

It is with a heavy heart that I announce the end of the Panty Raid. Tonight (and by that I mean right about NOW) we shall be saddling up and the clam posse will be scouring the sims for clams to send him. You are free to join us and crack them open and suck their juicy insides before we hit the Return button. We're going to meet at the lobby.

There are many underpantsenal related goodies in the raid- not only a plethora of underwear, but bags, poses, furniture, jewelry, octopi, shoes, vajazzle....

Only a VERY small sampling, mostly stolen from the Starlust flickr, because I intended to take some panty shots but never quite got that far (yes, I'm a bad bad blogger, no cookie for me):

(I really wish blogger would do cut tags, but nooooooo, that would be helpful. Bastards. SO, stupid number of pictures for you!)




10 sims of underpants await you!

VPoses and Devo

I meant to post this...a bit ago, but I suck and kept getting distracted. As it is, the panty hunt officially ended last night...but you might get lucky and still be able to find some. After last year's hunt, we were still finding clams for months.

And by "months" I mean "I saw a clam from last year's hunt out in this year's".

Our community manager got a cheat sheet from everyone (in theory), so maybe, just maybe, they will have been returned if people haven't picked theirs up...but I haven't logged in today so I don't know if she's done that yet!

But anyway. Now that I've apologized for not wearing pants...again...and possibly taunting you with things you can't have.

Nestled up in the foothills behind Thimbles is a little building that houses VPoses. It's got some glass walls as well, so there are some great views from it.

I don't know about you, but I'm always on the lookout for more good pose shops, and VPoses has a lot of nice "model" poses (including some with great attitude), as well as fun poses and group sets for snapshots, and a great sofa with a number of poses (especially tuned for couples. Awwwwww).

Devo is located at the foot of Mount Lolita, down the stairs from VPoses, and is full of all sorts of scripted wild and wackiness. The piano I'm posing on here actually plays when you touch or stand on it, and you can record songs to play back as well.

Yes, I do have no legs (and put on a more skin tone skin as the legless attachment isn't really meant for someone as blindingly white as I usually am! Regardless, it is still made of awesome, and I am willing to get a tan for it), courtesy of a thresher accident, and Devo. The picture behind me is something I halfassedly drew- you can play with it with your whole ass and draw pretty pictures on it too.

VPoses and Devo are located in scenic Floyd, below and to the side of the giant flowers scattered across Mount Lolita.

Split Pea

Split Pea is the brainchild of Melatonin Hax, she who is one half of Thimbles, the high muckity muck in charge of the Area 408 half of Harold, and the new sim Elliott. A little over a year ago, she branched off from Thimbles into millinery- creating fantastical creations, mostly to be worn upon the head, in room 13 of the motel when it moved to Lloyd.

Eventually this little side project grew beyond the bounds of just a motel room, and moved into, of course, giant peas. Those peas inhabit the space in Lloyd that had been devoted to Thimbles, before the move to the giant thimbles in Floyd, keeping that plot in the family, as it were.

Quite a few head adornments (there are hats- but there are also feathers and vines and bows and glasses and birds) in Split Pea are created to go with things made by other designers- there are hats to go with dresses by Heartattack&Vine, feathers and bows to go with Clawtooth by Clawtooth hair.

Split Pea is located in the southwest corner of Lloyd, a stone's throw from the motel and next to ZsaZsa's bra on Horst.

Starlust Residentials

Did you know the Starlust has a few residential spots?

(The Emerald viewer rocks in a multitude of ways, including the temp upload feature and the ability to set perms of things in the contents of objects en masse, and it also actually lets me turn on Atmospheric Shaders! I have to use them very sparingly and only for photos...but look! Actual pretty water!)

Nestled in the mountains above Area 408, there are a select few unique buildings for residences, overseen by our lovely Melatonin Hax. It's a pretty fantastic view from up there, looking over all of Starlustland (if you can up your draw distance! I keep mine super low except for photos, so I'm always even more amazed when I can see things).

We do request that visitors to Starlustland be respectful to those who choose to keep homes here, however we have been blessed with never having any problems to speak with so far, because, let's face it, the people who hang out at the Starlust are awesome.

Royal Blue

Royal Blue just recently underwent a remodeling. It has kept a lot of the same themes and charm of the previous build, but evolved into more of a proper "building"- this time, for instance, there's actually a roof! The previous incarnation to that was the gingerbread house in Floyd, and it's been an interesting progression in theme to watch, as certain elements have become more prevalent.

(I'm sorry, I have to apologize here for a moment- the new ~silentsparrow~ tattoos have made it hard for me to actually wear clothing. However, as I was having a hard time deciding upon a shirt that would accentuate this skirt to its full potential anyway...so it worked out just fine! I love the floral motif on this one playing into the roses.)

As you might be able to spy in the background, there's a new addition to Horst. All that glitter has been gathering high above the sims...and it made a giant unicorn. I hear eventually Tres Blah shall be setting up shop in his innards!

It's a very chic build, but at the same time, there's a lot just a bit strange and wonderful about it. When you walk inside, you find that there are two distinct styles of architecture at war- on the one side you have the very fancy slick white walls with accents, clean and stark, like the interior of high end Beverly Hills boutique, or a nice department store like Saks, when it still actually was nice (it's even more that prefect ideal of what these things should be, what they try to be, than even the reality achieved)- and on the other it's an explosion of flowers and plants and grasses planted in a checkerboard pattern (even up onto the walls), as if Wonderland has come to take over.

I would like to thank the lovely Nivaya Barbosa, of Dressing in Pixels, for playing the fashionista Alice to my Cheshire Cat.

Royal Blue is located on the sheer cliffside of Horst, next to Sh!t Happens and Free*Style, and also keeps an update blog.
