So Thanksgiving is over, and hopefully everyone has at least silently acknowledged all we are thankful for in both our real and second lives. I, for one, have many many things to be thankful for, and have made special note of how important it is to remind myself of these things when the going gets rough and there’s a really really bad day or two or more, which will, of course, happen because that’s just part of life. For right now, though, I’m lucky enough that it’s all good, although I’m finding myself immediately immersed in all the joys and stress and insanity of the holiday season. One reason is I signed up to blog not one but TWO holiday events here in Second Life… this post features an item for the impending Peace on Earth (or POE as it’s commonly called) Hunt, SL’s longest running grid-wide hunt. Although I’ve participated as a hunter for years and years, this will be my first time as a blogger. And all I can say is that based on the previews I’ve had of some of the prizes, it will definitely be a hunt to remember! The hunt opens on December 1st, at which time hints will be become available. You can check HERE at that time.
- Jewelry: Stone’s Works – Winter Diadem, half-price for the Creative Spark in-store sale through Nov 30th… magically beautiful, whether for a formal look or a fantasy setting… this is the item that inspired this entire photo, it conjured up such images in my brain of elven princesses & magical beauty; Chop Zuey – Bel Aire Gold Women’s Wedding Band
- Skin: 7 Deadly s[K]ins – Kirstie, worn in Cotton Candy, browless; choose from packs of 7 light or dark tones, or from 14 individual skin tones; the really stunning Kirstie shape & demos are also available. EXCLUSIVELY at the eBento event, Nov 10 – 30th.
- Shoes: [Sheba] Creations – Juno Heels, sized for Slink, Belleza, & Maitreya; 50-color HUD for the main body & then for the upper strings of the shoes (which can also be turned off); also includes two bonus textures for the shoes, one of which is this awesome gold/white brocade which was just absolutely perfect for my gown! See below for a close-up of these GORGEOUS shoes!
- Backdrop: Sanna-Science and Art – Sanna Fir Forest 3 Textures Set POE HUNT GIFT & the Sanna Roebuck + Saint Huburtus Deer Alpha Set POE HUNT GIFT – if you do ANY photography at all, these are two gifts you absolutely should hunt down once the event starts on December 1st! These are all ANIMATED textures, so the snow is falling, the deer’s eyes are blinking, his tail is wagging, & so much more… amazing how realistic & three-dimensional it all looks! (This is store #45 on the POE Hunt.)
