Wade In the Water

Kathy in the Black Suit from  !129129
 The thing about men's suits - or, rather, the thing about a really good-looking woman is that she looks good in anything, especially a man's suit.  Here are a couple of clothing items from the wading pool with the goldfish in it at the SM29izm Summer Festival.  I'll blog about other things at my Other Blog.

The Black Wedding Dress from !129129
Amongst the frequent box heads you get from the wading pool (which you can click on up to five times and then you have to wait five minutes before clicking again) are these two lovely outfits from !129129.  These outfits are non-copy but transferable, so if you get, for instance, six of them (which I did in trying to get the swingset), you can pass them on to your alt or someone else.  Other prizes are not transferable, probably because they weren't specifically for male or females.  There is also a Lucky Board with a dark red version of the men's suit.

Normally I hate wedding dresses, but this black one is fab.  Look how it moves!  Look at the beautiful textures!  It's certainly worth waiting around for hours and hours [looks shifty and clears throat] for these.  And there are lots of things to look at and pose balls to hop on while you're waiting.  Who knows, maybe you'll get your inventory sorted while you're waiting!

Last Gasp of Summer Fun

Fun sand castle with shaping anim
(if we could get Lludmila's snoot out of the cocktail).

Lots of fun for 35L or less at Boof again!  I'm not even showing the freebies!  There are three hunts in progress and a free golden snitch just sitting out where anyone could get it!  But Lludmila was really taken with the sandcastle, which comes with bucket and shovel and an inflatable ring.

In addition, there is some newness in the form of a grass skirt collection that comes with all of the following:

Bikini and nut necklace.

Sportier bikini and tropical beverage.

Flower lei and hair flower.

Grass skirt with obligatory coconut bra.
Lludmila had been looking for a really nice grass skirt for the next hukilau, and who doesn't need a coconut bra?  Boof is really worth the visit.

Dept. of Shameless Self-Promotion

Grin and Bear it!
Free Bear: Untroubled t-shirt if you stop by Lludmila's vardo on Awen.  Also, info on Bear's cd "Untroubled."

Also coming up: Lludmila's RL(tm) Husbob has a new cd that will be available at the end of the month.  Teaser video here: Metamorphoses.  Husbob plays guitar, Bear plays keyboards, and Sarah does cello and violin on this cd.  All the cuts are in Dadgad with the Harmonic Capo, available from his website.

While you're at the vardo, ahem, note that Lludmila will be hosting a discussion of The Iliad during August.  Pick up a notecard.

Bellissimo from B[elle]issima

British Navy Uniform
 Cal found a wealth of goodies at B[elle]issima at bargain prices.  This is only a small selection.  The British Navy uniform (and the British Army uniform below) are free.  The British Army uniform came with boots.  Fortunately, Cal had some buckled shoes from another outfit to complete the British Navy uniform.  Peruque is from Arundel Design which has some great stuff for the historic role player.

Cal Kilted in Group Gift
 Joining the B[elle]issima group is a mere 25L and is worth it just for this kilt ensemble (includes boots and tam with feather hackle).  There is also a separate group gift for women.

Angel in a bargain dress
Along with the group gift and the freebies, there are some inexpensive outfits for both men and women.  The black dress on Angel was only 15L and looks terrific on her plush shape.

This place is definitely worth a visit - there is more and the shop is also participating in two hunts.
