They've taken their break and are now back to the old MONDAY ONLY offer. Only this time they've included the girls! This week's theme is Cha Cha (includes matching red shoes) and yes, guys there's an outfit waiting for you. I'll not spoil the surprise. ($0 / m&f)



I'm wearing the new sakura sorceress skin from Mela's (Juicy (154, 145, 24). ($0/ f)

The hair in all pictures is from the $1 wall found in the clearance room at Bewitched Hair (Lemon Island (250, 187, 40). They are having a great clearance too, with fat packs (all colors include) of hair selling for only $100. ($1-10 styles/ f & unisex)

Last, but certainly not least I hit A Piece of Candy (Immintel (160, 180, 100) for the Little Italy blue diamond hunt. I spotted all the diamonds easily and I'm sure you can too. They're sculpty so just make sure to walk around and give them time to rez. There were 4 outfits included in the hunt and one skin. I also picked up one of the $1 tops (not pictured) from the dollarbie post, where you'll find additional Another Shop skin mods. Candy is really good to her patrons and usually offers (as she has this week) a new release at a special introductory price. This week she has a couple of outfits for $10 each.

WB Lappy!

Yay! My lappy is back from the dr's with a brand new keyboard and hopefully it will not shut off every time I enter the little pixelated universe I call part time home. Hope you didn't miss us too much. =^.^=

Well, in case you missed it on the entry a couple below this one Amorepacific4's hair spot (this is the Mise En Sine location on the hud found at approximately: Amorepacific4 81, 137, 66) is back up and running. Stop by to camp for some darling hairs for both the guys and gals. (Don't forget there are a couple of hair styles for the ladies in the Hera ballroom along with dresses, shoes, masks, & fans.

I received a lovely preview of $1 skins from SavannahAnn of Spirit (Plush Tau 41, 14, 28). If you teleport to the Pro Cheer Skin's room you'll find that one pack of each Veteran skin tone (commercial accessible from Spirit's blog) is available priced at only $1/pack normally $1000. So if you haven't gone by to check out this new hybrid photo sourced - hand painted line NOW is your chance! Look for the Giants Light Glossy and Matte pack in whatever skin tone you prefer. ($1/2 pack of skin) These skins were used in all the photos.

When I logged in I found myself at the ever expanding SakuraTown (mall area I - SakuraTown 46, 46, 32) which has added a new SakuraTown II mall area ( SakuraTown 71, 197, 24). The mall area II recently celebrated it's grand opening and many of the freebies may be taken down so rush over to check it all out. If you haven't visited this area please stop by and check it out. It's jammed with freebies and you can enjoy the spring festivities. If you get confused the red roofed areas are part of the original mall and blue roofed stores are part of the mall II expansion. There's even a couple of things for the guys to. ($0)



Much more behind cut...

Another Sakura festival and shopping area hot spot is located in the Access Island region. I've written about this area (access 162, 150, 22 -cross the bridge if you'd like to look at the area previously blogged) before, but since then it has expanded doubling in size. If you haven't experienced a lot of Japanese shopping this would be an excellent introduction to tons of designers. There's a lot here, but only about 10 items offered up from any one designer. There's numerous stalls ranging from clothing, hair, skin, tinies, and even a couple of neko items. And yes, the guys will be happy if you bring them along because there are a couple freebies here for him also! ($0-$1)



If you haven't popped on over to the Wing Fling (Platinum 128,10,21) you might just want to because besides having a ton of wings in one place to browse there are also two great deals ($1 & 0). You can find a great map of the booth layout on Second Style Cast. You'll want to check out Seven's Selections and Battle Fairy's booths.



The capris modeled with the wings are from a gem of a store La petite fleur (aquapolis (186, 176, 41) which has put out the cutest little khaki dress. One word of warning here *Try before you buy, all the prim skirts are no modify!*($0)

You'll find 5 full body suit/armors, many individual pieces of armor, weapons, wings, chokers, and boots to name a few. Everything is laid out and easy to view and all boxes are just $1 each. Here are a couple of the outfits along with the assassins armor that I threw on to give you guys a sampling:







Underneath everything I created a shirt and pants. Simply open inventory, select create from the top menu of your inventory, create a shirt and a pants, wear both, go into appearance and tint both the pant and shirt black.

The hair is from Hayate of H2L but can be found at Entama (ENTAMA 133,132,29). $0

Japanese Sim Love

As I've stated previously most of the time I spend in sl is time I spend alone. One of the things I like to do (besides shopping way too much) is wandering around aimlessly seeing what I might find. Tonight there was a notice via the free*style that there were 3 gothic lolita dresses along with 3 hats. If you'd like you can pick up these dresses and hats at Visible - a little warning about the dresses... only dress 3 had a skirt and dress 1 and 2 were no mod. So you may have to mix and match to achieve a suitable look. While on the Amemura sim I decided to take a look around at it and the adjoining sims and here's what I found: (If you haven't figured it out by now you need to click the 'read more' link at the bottom of my posts to see the remainder of the post.)

Closing Time

Two great designer's are no longer going to be selling their current collections in SL. It's a sad day, because as this month draws to a close the clothes at both Last Call and the vendors at Prim & Proper will disappear. So, if you've ever wanted to experience great designs now is the time. The Last Call designs are between $300 (for the catwalk collection) - $100 for most dresses, men's outfits, some shoes, and jewelry. Everything in the Prim & Proper store is $100 or less, male accessories are on the 4th floor. (hopefull) Pics under cut. Following is a sample of Last Call dresses all are modeled with hair from ETD:

These are a sampling of the dresses available at Prim & Proper:

Both places also have items available for male avatars. =) Hope you guys get to check out the deals before they are gone. These are really two great designers and they should both offer diversity for everyone since the styles they both designer are so different.

Kink 101: Latex stylz

Welcome my freaky deaky lovelies! Today I shall take time out from my endless crying over my overstuffed inventory (woot! down by 3k as of writing!) and slip into some of sl's lovely latex fetish wear offerings. That's right Anna's going to get kinky for you; so hold on!

First I'd like to showcase a couple of looks from Spiderweb Creations' (Peraut 6,206,0)lovely and totally free ($0) Karen Hutton Collection with this I'll be featuring the lovely another skin (Lippert 74, 176, 179) modifications brought to you totally free by Sae Luan of Rave Nation ($0-Candyland 129, 202, 27).

[Modeled with hair: *WM* Slingback Hair Dk Brown from Winter Moon (*Winter Moon*, Canimal (64, 98, 26) on special, so hurry! ($1)]

This is a well balanced primer for the new to latex wearer. Spiderweb Creations offers a small, but varied selection ranging in price from $80 for gloves to $500 for a complete outfit including shoes and choker.

Next up is a bevy of latex suits offered for both MALE AND FEMALE from Kcreations (Kcreations Myeolchi (119, 25, 63) offers catsuits and latex skins $350-500 for both the ladies and gents):

[Modeled with Lotus_FreeSkin BlackSwan from Rabbit Skin ($0 - NEOJAPAN TOKYO 147,60,22) and ETD's Phoebe hair ($1)]

I hope you still have the baby powder out because next I'm going to showcase looks from the superstore of latex Kayliwulf Kingdom (Kayliwulf West 148, 111, 601). If you've ever wondered what latex has to offer this is a store you should not pass up! There is possibly every latex item imaginable here: clothing, shoes, skins and even hair (and yes other things)! This store is for the casual to committed latex wearer. But, don't worry if you're just curious there are 20+ totally free gift boxes on a table located at the landing point AND most demos offered for a mere $10 (even neko friendly skins!) are completely wearable! Complete outfits run around $1,000-$1,500, but keep in mind these items are *transferable*and is a complete outfit- clothing, shoes, and accessories. For single items or outfits you'll pay considerably less $395 on up. So on with the show:

Ok, well lets say you don't care about the seriousness of latex, you don't want to spend a dime, and don't care who else is wearing whatever you're going to be sporting for friends, family, or strangers. Then I'll suggest Milky9 (kagurazaka 162, 201, 32) which features totally free what others are trying to hawk as designer originals, but what we all refer to as resellers or business in a boxes. If you don't care what anyone says sport these free kinky offerings (and you'll learn to appreciate the difference in textures to):
