Fashionably Dead Skins on Lloyd

I had written four paragraphs describing the mental image I have of Toast Bard doing interpretive slow motion dancing to the song "God Moving Across the Face of the Earth" by Moby. But I just deleted them because I wondered where the creepy line was... and if I would be crossing it.
I put these skins on and wondered also about the line between creating a skin so that your avatar looks more human and creating one so that your avatar might be virtually walking art.
It's inarguable that what Toast creates is by far so creative, so ingenious, sometimes completely taking my breath away.

These 12 skins range from novelty to sweetly poignant and everything in between. You can find them here in the Dinosaur at Starlust.

New Toys on the Boys!

Earlier today Allegory brought me to Katat0nik's shop to try her new Lucky Fortune chair (for a most adorable dress! Alle won it... it's gorgeous) and then we mused over what a great invention this Lucky Fortune machine was. We so loved it that we went over to Shep Korvin's store and bought the copyable one. What we've done is placed one by the motel entrance on Lloyd and one by the Harbour entrance on Floyd. What I'd like (ideally) is to start a mega battle between the Lloydite Vendors and the Floydite vendors over who can contribute to the Fortune Machines most, ultimately culminating in an bloody scene of drunken and/or discombobulated merchants streeeewwwwn about the boys. Failing that... a boxing match. Failing that... macaroni and cheese wrestling. In any case... you're the winner and your prize will be a lovely outfit or product from one of our many many talented content creators!

First Up: A battle between Elate and Heartattack & Vine.

(To clarify - There is one machine on each sim. Each machine holds a prize from a vendor on that sim. To win, you must make a 100% cosmic match with the person you're sitting with. If you and that person are not 100% cosmic match, you're percentage will always be the same on that machine but ONLY for that prize. Each new prize the machines will be reset. If you and your partner are not a match on Floyd, you might be on Lloyd! and if you're not on either... then try different partners. Most of all... have fun!)

Kurotsubaki at The Starlust Motel

Room 12 is Kurotsubaki. Who's designs and creativity I think really aided in pushing a lot of virtual designers to start thinking outside of their boxes as well. Sato and Nico are full of fresh and inventive ideas, creating some of the most interesting places to shop that I've seen. Swing on by sometime, if you haven't already!

Hiccup at The Starlust Motel

You're almost guaranteed to walk into a Hiccup shop and squeal and find a hair that looks delicious on your avatar and go home happy. That's of course if you haven't already done so. Room 33 is where you'll be wanting to head to hit up Tilly Tokyo's little spot of hair heaven.

Pantie Hunt Ends Tonight!!

If you haven't already swung by and tried (hopefully not in vain) to find yourself some panties... This is your last chance!

Swallowtail Jewelry at The Starlust

Room #1 at the motel belongs to Natsuko Paravane and her delicious jewelry line, Swallowtail. I'd never really worn virtual jewelry before walking into Swallowtail and seeing something so reminiscent of jewelry I wear in real life (when obligated to do so). Her prim work is beautiful and delicate, so finely crafted. If you haven't yet discovered Swallowtail you might very well enjoy heading over to her main or to Room #1 at the Starlust Motel.

Pantie Hunt till Friday

1) you are all troopers, amazing troopers. 2) I love Johnny Cash 3) There really are clams hidden all over BOTH sims.

Let me explain - (no sleep, lots of coffee... bare with me) I want to thank each and every one of the vendors who've participated. They didn't have to. They are my heroes for their enthusiasm. Johnny Cash is brilliance. And a lot of people have been chattering about not being able to find the clams. In the photo above, the tineh one is actual size. Yes... they're a little bit small... but considering that there are probably over 100 of them now... the chances of running into them are very good.
-Tip to get you going: There is one placed in the lower left corner of the window directly on the right of the main motel lobby door. Also there is one on top of the Schadenfreude Elephant's trunk.

Hunt ends Friday so you've plenty of time. Remember... not a mission... just some under pantie fun.
