Happy Birthday to me!

Hey all, today's post is a short one. I wanted to give a quick update on the Doll Works Auction first. I went for 1201 Lindens to a Miss Badger, so a nice chunk to help out them paying their tier payment. I'll give some more details on the auction and what I've been doing for the time I was sold soon. I originally put down 2 days but to to RL, I'm spreading them out over a few days total. Plus still waiting on a few pictures as well ;)

Also, like the total said, today's my birthday! It seems like it's a good one so far :) I'll post again soon, likely this weekend. Til then see you all later!

Gooshy goo girl

So first thing first. I still have moderated comments on for the blog. And so far, I'm glad I do. Of the 17 comment posts made this week, all 17 were spam. So, yeah that sucks :( Don't feel funny about posting people! Believe me I wanna hear from you! Please please please post and let me know what you think about the blog. It can only lead to me making things better, or finding new stuff to post about.

On another note, I'm finally doing something I've been thinking about doing for a long long time. I'm entering an auction ;) The auction starts at 10am Second Life time (AKA pacific time) Sunday, March 28th at the Doll Works sim (http://slurl.com/secondlife/The%20Doll%20Works/187/191/23/). I just submitted my application tonight, so officially I'm not in yet, but when I hear the definitive word, I'll let you guys know. Half the proceeds from the auction go to helping pay for the Doll Works tier costs for operation. The other half goes to the person being auctioned. Odds are though I'm just gonna give it all to DW. I'm going up for a 2 day total auction time. I'd do more, but with work it's hard to get time set aside weekdays. I'm off weekends though hence the 2 days. Anyway, hope so see a lot of people there!

Finally, I want to show off a pretty cool AV I just got. The Goo Girl AV is honestly one of the most feature jam packed AVs I’ve gotten in a long while. First off the look of it is pretty cool. It’s translucent and has an animated texture on it as well so it looks just like its really oozing and dripping.

That’s just the start though. It also has a lot of scripted features as well. It’s fully color changeable with a TON of colors to pick from. I decided to show this off a bit by swapping colors for each picture. You can alter the body color, eye color, and any of the four included hair’s colors individual from each other. It also has shape changing features as well. You can change from a human looking Goo Girl to a bunch of animal hybrid forms, like a cat, dog, raccoon, fox, mouse, or even a dragon.

Also you can sprout tentacles from the back of it, up to four pairs total.

You also can add to the number of breasts the AV has, as well as….change the other naughty bits too.

Photobucket

I literally spent hours just playing around with all the different colors, shapes and features when I got it. It looks great in world all drippy and oozy. I might do a video of it showing it off so you all can see it better. Well, something to consider. If you want to see that lemme know!

Never judge a magic book by it's cover

First up I wanted to let everyone know I opened comments back up so anyone can post again. I didn't ever really want to take away anonymous posting, since it let a lot more people comment, but the span was driving me nuts. I know have it set on moderate comments, so I can weed out any garbage spam posts before they show up for everyone to see. I promise that's the only thing I'm gonna do moderation wise. So now all you anonymous readers feel free to comment away!

Anywho, not that long ago I was pointed in the direction of a shop called Kero's Toy Box (http://slurl.com/secondlife/Fishii/85/149/34/) by a friend (though who pointed me there I can't recall. I swear, this time away form SL made me do a total brain dump). Checking the place out, I found lots and lots of fun toys. In particular, I was told to check out the magic books the shop sells there. After looking the shop over I was very very impressed by what I saw. The books particularly blew me away. What are the books you may ask? Well, each is a magic spell book that changes the reader or person your showing it to into a object (as long as your running RLV and have a relay on). And man do they look fantastic!

There's 5 books in all. The coolest ting about them isn't just that they change you, it's that they change you into something interactive. First is the chair transformation. Yes, someone can sit on you while your changed. I love how this one looks, especially the padding. Very well done.

Photobucket

Next is the Victorian sofa. This one is also sit on-able, though I will admit I like the chair better. Maybe because the body is more used to make the form. Still this one does look very lovely.

Photobucket

The statue book is pretty self explanatory. I will say I love the skin for this one. The blue and white colors of it really look quite nice, and are very different then most other statue skins I've seen out there.

Photobucket

Ah the picture frame. This is probably the oddest of the transformations, but it really has a unique look. One thing to note on it is hte picture is changeable. I've seen 2 different ones in my times hanging on the wall ;)

Photobucket

The final book is the motorcycle transformation, and boy is this one cool. Not only is it like the chair and couch and sit-able, but it's ride-able too! so get changed into one and anyone can take you for a spin ;) Also, I've noticed each time I've been it I've been a different color bike, which is a really cool touch.

Photobucket

Overall, the books are fantastic, and honestly, this is just scratching the surface of what is at Kero's Toy Box. One word of warning though! If you want to try them bring a friend! All the book AVs auto lock on, and it takes another person to release you. If you aren't careful, you could end up decorating the shop for a long long time ;)

Catching back up with a few toys

Hey all! I'm thinking the next few posts I'm gonna be making are going to be on items I've seen or got over the past few months. There was a lot of really cool stuff hitting SL lately, most of which is RLV enabled. I do want to try to do more role play related posts, but honestly I haven't had as many really strong role play sessions lately. Still if I stumble into one, it's going up ;)

Today is going to be a few items from Hybridz. First up is there School Doll AVs. They come in 4 colors and like all AVs they sell are fully RLV enabled

The breasts for the suits are optional. If you want a less...umm..endowed look, it also includes a school badge as well. I alternated the above pics showing both. Overall I do like these, though there not the usual style of doll suits I tend to gravitate to. What I mean is I tend to like the all latex look, as opposed to skin showing, but these do look good. Very doll like and sexy :)

Next, also from Hybridz is their new puppy suit. This one is adorable!

I've always had a thing for the puppygirl look and this suit is fantastic. It's again totally lockable. As a bonus it also includes a animation hud, letting you sit, lay or even beg. Too cute!

Well, that's it for now. I'm still deciding what to show next, I have a ton that I want to post on. BTW, if anyone has any suggestions feel free to let me know! Some of the stuff I find by word of mouth and since I haven't been on SL as much, I haven't heard as much. Til later, see ya!

I got a job!

Ok so this isn't a real post, but I have to let everyone know, I got a job finally! It only took 8 months (8 long, long, long months) But I finally got a property manager position at a local mall! I'm so happy! This means I will be working, so money for SL toys, yay! Plus I'll be back on a consistent schedule, not spending every moment of every day job hunting. So more posts soon! This is my first week so I'll likely have some up as time permits, gotta get into the grove of it after all. But I'm aiming for this weekend, most likely Friday to resume posting once more!
