Bringing out the good stuff in Second Life®: fashion, hot spots, freebies, etc.

Action is a long established surf/skate store, complete with clothing to outfit you and sporting equipment to entertain you. In this post I just wanted to show you some of their sports gear. I found the jet ski and surf board very well sculpted, and they, as well as the skates and bikes too come with many skin options to choose from. I loved particularly the board strapped on the backpack, which is already a new favourite accessory of mine !

The surf boards require the use of the Action Wave system, which can be purchased at the store. If you don’t have it, this beach here has one where you can rezz your own board.

On another note, last night, I was amongst the lucky ones to get Rachel Breaker’s new thing, the sousaPHONE. I never know from the name what it’s going to be, even though sousaphone turns out to be an actual word, d’oh, but I always pull whatever it is she made out of my inventory with anticipation. This tuba actually made me happy all evening, as I stood behind friends, oblivious to their existence, typing away in another window, all the while pulling the most pitiful sounds out of this thing without respite, without anybody complaining ! I love to know that I’m being annoying but getting away with it. In fact, I’m going to go after people with this all week-end.

I LOVE YOU, RACHEL BREAKER !*

You make SL so much more awesome.

* That is how you should greet her whenever you see her.

More full perm goodness from xstreet. This time from Marley Blogfan. I think high quality full perm kits are really great for personal projects or to craft gifts you can customise with your own textures, to give something a little more special to a friend. I always feel trivial and ambivalent about giving something that is store-bought, but on the other hand, one doesn’t always have the skills to do something as nice, so having something you can transform before giving it away is a nice compromise.

I was vaguely pruning my objects folder when I unpacked the Valentine’s Day gift from New Trails and thought it was really so cute. Love shrooms ! It was sent by their subscrib-o-matic which should be somewhere at the shop.

Also, while cutting out my pictures, I kept wondering why I was doing my collage that way which is not how I usually do it, when I remembered once I’d finished that I’d seen this earlier. ❤

There’s a delightfully fun and silly AO set at Kuso, by daiz Papp, and it’s free ! There until the 19th, I believe, it’s called “Ninja Man”. Here I shot a quick little machinima of the stands only, but it is complete with walks, a typing overrider and everything. For it, I put on the new Whippet & Buck playsuit which came in handy for all that exercise !

If you’ve not been to Kuso before, they have tons of fun, whimsical animation overriders for very cheap, from about 4 to 16L, with full sets at 300L. And it’s constantly updating with awesome new stuff.

I’m loving these things from nyagos Kidd’s shop, Node. The perms on them are a bit erratic, probably due to the scripts put in them, so a lot of things are no copy AND no transfer.

The pig avatars mostly consist of a head and tail, with a pinkish human skin and a fatty male shape. Each comes with an accompanying hoodie of a different colour, and the head has an optional attachment specific to the type of pig (toast, leafy sprig or cigar) and has ears scripted to move. Other clothing is not included.

The umbrella costs 550L and each one includes a set of 5 textures; you can close it an open it, and it even provides you with your own personal rain (with sounds). Great for mood, I seriously love walking around like this. I think perhaps I’d rather it cost less, though, and you could buy just the one umbrella with the texture you really want.

The classroom furniture costs 1200L but it looks to have various elements you can combine, and they ARE copyable, as is the chalkboard, sold separately. You can also buy a desk or chair there that you can hurl, “Battle Royale” style.

PS. I don’t usually give treatment to pictures of furniture and avatars but exceptionally I did here, it goes well with polaroids…

Radio Signals’ Scribble store has recently had a facelift, and it is worth checking out if only for the decorative art on display on the outside walls, the floors and in the beautifully made dolls that adorn the square at the entrance of the store. Here are some of the adorable, fun things that she sells there.

These tags come as attachments not for only for your hair, mouth and arm but you can also hold them out with your fingers, and there are 8 different colours. You can resize them, have any kind of message imprinted on them, choose the colour of the writing, and turn glow on or off by clicking on the tag. They can be bought copyable or transferable.

The reindeer lounger exists in several versions, sitting only 1 or 3 persons, in different ways. You can check them out at the store, they’re also great just to complement a winter scene !

This moleskine serves as a typing overrider, and there are several to pick from, each with a different drawing on it, or just blank pages. It will also come with a decorative copy that you can display where you like.

A certain “Robin Moore” left this construction around in a sandbox. Thought it was kinda cool…

First visited about a year ago, I was the other day in need of basking in someone’s else creativity, and thought of stalking around lonetorus Habilis’ den, a perfect haven for geeks (though he was nowhere to be seen at the time). If you fancy any one of these things, you’ll have to rummage through his bric-à-brac at TEKKON, where his past and ongoing projects lie about all in a jumble (oh, and he also makes custom content as a sculptor and scriptor, too).

Antonia Marat of artilleri plurked today about these 1L guitars she picked up at Kujisawa, and I quickly hurried over to check for a minute. She had also taken some really pretty pics of a few of them that she is kindly letting me use here for my post. Thank you, Antie, for gracing these pages with your awesome pixels ! ❤

I grabbed everything on sight and tried a couple for myself. Now, a few things of note: the guitars are full bright and no mod, and only animate your avatar with music playing at the same time. But there are loads of music loops to pick from, and they’re really awesome to have, for practically nothing !
