Run@Muk Style

Far longer than anticipated here is a nice mix of items from various designers who took part in an event, released it at their store or is gifting it as a hunt prize.  My style is not to photoblog because that tells us nothing about the items themselves.  However, in this instance due to the lateness of the posting I shant be all wordy :) Hair: ChiChickie! - AJ - Cosmopolitan Sale Room *Find AJ at Cosmo Sale Room!!* Skin: WoW Skins - Tanita CL - Gift from The Black Fair 2013 Makeup: *Mon Cheri*   - *MC* Red Glossy Lips Gift from The Black Fair 2013 Necklace & Earrings: Stars! - Bubbles (Grayed Jade) (Not Free) Top: the second star : The SPH Prize - **Seasons Palette Hunt Gift** Pants: Lumiere: Belted Pants Naturals ** Exclusive at Cosmopolitan Sales Room** Heels: Flame Fashion - Sena Mesh Shoes Cream (Not Free) Wrist Bands: {Mes petites Coutures} : Manchette Wrist Bands - **Seasons Palette Hunt** Sunglasses: U Refined: {U.R.} Fashion Glasses Summe...

I love black and white!!  A revelation discovered while setting up to blog items from The Challenge - Black and White Theme.  Not one alone but a happy mingling of both.  Without a doubt the right backdrop has to be chosen in order to get the "wow factor"  as opposed to the "wash out".   ChiC Building offered up Gothic Building this round (details in previous posting); it in conjunction with a few other goodies make up the 'wow factor'.  In case you missed it, Black and White is the theme for July Challenge for Builders. [bauwerk] put together a whole slew of white for you to pick and choose from.  It is not a set but individual pieces that work beautifully together.  The Chesterfield sofa is leather and pairs perfectly with the Leather Stool .  Each have great animations for singles while the sofa has couples as well.  The land impact is very low at 11 for both items.  The floor lamp works on touch and is only two pri...

A dark stone building holds secrets of owners that only the walls do know.  Each crack and crevasse tells a tale like no other, never to be told.  It's eerie features are shadows cast from nearby trees that sway in the breeze and whose branches shiver in the light of the moon.  The smooth opening doors do not creak as they open wide revealing a spacious room inside.  Two windows to the left and two to the right are the building only means of filtering in natural light.  It's dim at best through the frosted stained glass.  A sleek stone floor from one end to the other is cold on the bare feet pitter pattering from the door to the back.  Gothic Building by ChiC Buildings for The Challenge, Black & White Theme, lends itself willingly to having furnishings scattered about in hopes of being photographed.  Such a truly awesome build to be offered at only L$900, a 25% savings during the first release week.  It measures 12 x 28 and is only 46 L...

Up for a challenge?  These folks sure are!  In this months theme you'll find that sometimes it's all Black & White :) ! Follow Us ! has hit a home run in this challenge with their "Happiness Kitchen" .  This vintage kitchen stove and workspace is beautifully detailed from the shiny silver burner covers to the checkerboard tile counter work area.  I love the chalkboard style text art situated underneath the overhead shelf.  Really fun industrial style work lights are a nice touch as well. It is an animated addition to your home decor that allows cooking for one or two.  Need to chop some veggies?  There's an animation and a prop for that!  Need to slice the bread while your partner drinks coffee?  Yep, there's props and coordinating animations for that too.   All the added decor really add to the realism of the kitchen.  A scale, covered cake plate with cakes, dishes .... it's the little things that add character....

The time has come for another round of The Challenge for Builders.  Words like gorgeous, beautiful, outstanding, awesome don't really begin to describe the creations released for this month's theme.  Black & White was opened ended and filled with possibilities for all who participated.  They all proved that imagination is indeed a wonderous thing.  While I hope to get all the designers blogged this week, someone had to be first.  Cleo Designs , owned by Cleom Bailey, has always been a favorite home and garden store of mine.  The pure creativity she puts in all of her work simply blows me away.  There isn't much that she builds that doesn't make me go "hmm, wish my brain worked like hers".  The set put out for this months Challenge isn't any different.  Fun, creative and most definitely black and white.  Fully loaded with animations too, excellent quality too.

Home and Garden is an often neglected genre of design in the blogging world.  By no means am I saying that there are no folks who absolutely adore the task of dressing up the space they live in or even setting up a scene for a photo.  Me?  I love the ease of tossing out a fully decorated building whether its to blog it, live in it or both.  Why?  Because as a builder / store owner I very much appreciate the time and effort other home and garden creators put into their designs.  The Mesh Beach Hut from *RnB* Design is a prime example of simple spaces fully furnished with all the must haves for a day on the beach, lake, creek .... um next to a pond even.  What?  I don't have a beach so I use what I got.   It's texturing is cool blue walls and darker roof with salt water & weather worn posts and trim.  It comes complete with banner flags, beach ball, surf board, life bouy, a few chairs (decor only - not animated) and some sea she...

A 'splorin' we will go, a 'splorin' we will go!  The Trace is the location of choice to snap the shutter on the ole cam a few times.  It's another of those places from the handy dandy SL Destination Guide, a must read for those who find themselves among the "bored in sl" state of mind.  The Celestial Realm is the sim that holds The Trace.  It is a full on outdoor experience that is unbelievably relaxing and beautifully designed.  Lots of opportunity to add to your photo album, especially at the waterfall where there are literally tons of animations for one person or a couple.  Gotta love when the clothes you choose for the day fit seamlessly into one of the places you just happen to tp into. Discord Designs creates some of the most fun, funky and definitely unique braids that I have seen in a while.  This is actually the first style of braids that I have ever purchased.  I love it!  Found the store some years ago but since the styles we...

Tonight a did a bit of exploring!  Absolutely need to do it a whole lot more.  It's relaxing, mindless and you find gorgeous places to take blog pictures. Hazardous is the setting for this particular photo.  It is a venue whose rustic charm is filled with surprises like a well that you can jump down if you're feeling adventurous.  There is also this fabulous waterway that flows through the center of the parcel where the light hits the water just right to create scenery that is breathtaking.  Naturally, I couldn't resist the urge to do a little snapping of the camera.  I got dress two days ago with the full intention of blogging a few awesome events that are filled with even more awesome designers.  Sadly, generally I get busy building for my inworld store and before you know it, the events are past.  Well that didn't happen this time.  One of my most favorite hair designers, Nita Bracken of Tameless is taking part in this years Hair F...

Admittedly I had tons of fun setting up some of the garden items from this round of The Challenge.  {:MV:} has created this great pergola that serves as the shelter for a delightful table setting with dessert from !! Follow Us !!.  In the center of the pergola was a flowing fountain that I chose to remove. Yes, the set is modify to allow for such things as adding and removing elements if you so choose.  For me it seemed the ideal spot to have a sweet treat on a nice sl evening. The Arcadia Pergola is partial mesh thus a mesh capable viewer is necessary.  Are there viewers still out there that aren't capable of mesh viewing?  LOL.  The detailing in the wood textures and greenery is very nice, a must see in person to appreciate.  Though I did remove the flowing fountain most will definitely appreciate it as is. From !! Follow Us !! there is a whole set as well.  The slat wood table & chairs is not at all the complete package.  "My Littl...

The Challenge is on!  For one week every month awesome home and garden builders come up with a very cool design based upon a specified theme.  For June it was Garden, one of my favorite areas of content creation.  Though I didn't get the opportunity to participate this round, I'm very happy to be able to blog a few of the great items up for grabs for the next few days. JoHaDez, Poetic Funiture is offering up an awesome garden bench that is fully loaded.  It features texture change elements (wood, cushion & plant), high quality animations for single and couples, working light and dispenses wearable props with coordinating animations.  It's modern colors fit well with the home interior just as well as it does the exterior.  The Ladybug Garden Lights are cute as all get out.  They are available in three sizes to fit any size space inside or out. I personally thought it fitting to be on the ground but it is I believe meant for outdoors in the garden....

The festivities of SL10B have come to an end for this year.  Though it didn't make the blog before now, an exhibit was presented on HIV Awareness.  A forest was created where each tree was adorned with a red awareness ribbon. As visitors approached from each side, north - south - east - west, they could enter the forest where real stories awaited them.  Some very real people were more than gracious to share their story of life with HIV or AIDS.  Photographs of these folks were posted beneath the appropriate ribbon where their story was placed.  Stories, bracelets, website urls, lists of support groups, and factual posts could be found inside each ribbon along the path.  Some ribbons were free to copy when right clicked upon giving the receiver opportunity to wear the ribbon thus showing their own support in educating the general public of the very real disease. Every photograph used was done so with the appro...

If there were more hours in a day, more days in a week, more weeks in a year ..... there would still not be enough time to do all the blogging I'd like to do.  While I can't add time to my second life (or real one!), I can use my time more effectively.  The goal to achieve in this time management practice?  Fun.  One word that lacks more often than not for me.  It's coming around though.  Hopefully it'll show in the more frequent posts to the blog here :) When I get the urge to blog specific items, I get all dressed up in them.  Just like everyone else, right?  HaHa. Not.  Usually I wear them for a week because of that time factor.  This particular time I'm sure that they could use a good washing. Yep, been well over a week in this get-up.  Bout time I changed clothes don't ya think?  I will, I will.  Just as soon as the credits roll. Hair:  .:{Rumina}:.

Without a doubt I could never do justice to this hunt item from Weekend Salvage in one picture. The Crypt Keeper's Cottage is full of detail that even photos do not show.  It has a story, just as many of the items you will find at Weekend Salvage do.  While you can read a bit of Raeyn Sirnah's inspiration for this gift to hunter of For Whatever Hunt, sure making stories of your own would please him more.  No doctoring of the photos was done.  They are what they are.  The mausoleum itself is comprised of two rooms beyond the enterance.  Kneel at the gate, pray, or sit and reflect by the fountain.  Step further inside to see pristine white caskets, fresh rose laid respectly atop each one.  Past the rear door is the quarters where the keeper of the grounds calls home.  A bunk, writing table, coffin boxes stacked provide a makeshift table .... As I said, justice for this gift is lost in these photos.  Find it...
