the girl got hot.

Song For This Post: Weezer - The Girl Got Hot

So this post was inspired by Project Themeory, an awesome collection of stores presenting limited time themed items from weekend to weekend (some vendors still had their items out today, so join the inworld group to grab a list - otherwise, join up and wait for next week!). This first look doesn't feature anything from this particular weekend's theme *cough* which was "Geek Chic", BUT it does fit in with the theme! I swear. The second features a few items from Project Themeory tho, and I have another post in the works for tomorrow, as really, there is so much awesome stuffs <3.

Oh, and the song? Weezer is the ultimate Geek Chic band IMHO (as well as a cpl of others you'll be seeing in the next few posts). I would eat Rivers Cuomo on ice cream. Actually I would eat Matt Sharp (frmr Weezer member, to be featured tom heehee) AND him all up without the ice cream. *swoons* That said - the song works awesome for this - the underrated geeky girl who suddenly blossoms into the super hot chick she was allllll along, without losing her real self.

Annoying Wren

My friend Wrenling Windlow gave herself a makeover! She was my first guest blogger waaay back at the beginning of this excursion into my closet - and recently decided she needed a massive revamp. I attacked her for a photo shoot as soon as she told me she'd gotten her new shape from Blitz! (my friend eeka's awesome shapes store). I managed to hunt her down when she was waiting for Reek's Lucky Board Shirt of Elliott Smith awesomeness (neither one of us has scored it yet.. but it's only a matter of time... muahahahahahaaa).

I promptly snagged her to drag her happily compliant carcass all over the Starlust group of sims - still going for that summer vaca type appeal. Have you noticed how obsessed I am with camping lately? Gosh, I miss New England.


So, here's the most incredible thing about Wren's outfit - everything aside from her shape costs 0-1L!!! What else would you expect from someone I met on a long ago lucky chair stalking session? I'll post the details at the end. Up next is a close up shot of her new mirah shape (modded slightly - she wanted me to mention she widened the eyes, and thickened the legs and bum). She is wearing Imagen's lucky chair exclusive Irene skin.

This last shot is just cos I think it came out so beautiful! I took this one in Harold, while we were sitting round the campfire. You might see more of Wren's face round here, with her amazing finds. That girl has a nose for the shopping, lemme tell ya.

sanu - pinned heart (1L group gift)
tiny bird - olivia pepper (0L DSN gift)
edge grafica - engineer boots (10 min group camp)
uncle wiggily - cherub horns (0-1L the only horns she says she'll ever wear)
akai - simple long sleeve bright blue (0L crush row hunt)
pacadi - old style tee (0L)
stellar designs - plaid jeans (0L hunt gift?)
dark mouse - lots o holes belt (former group gift)
wasabi pills - friday eyes opal (0L gift)

Blog Backlog ^-^

Today is going to be another grab bag of stuffs - mostly cos I've got to get these out of the way for a new (really awesome) post I'm working on next. This is a whole mishmush of styles, and obsessions, and fun times that all 6 of you who read my blog have come to expect. I'll break it into parts to give it a little bit of order:

1) A Continuation Of My Current Uncle Wiggily Infatuation

I'll keep my words short - as I think I've pointed out how much I love Esme's work. I've been wearing variations of the same theme for over a solid week now: Uncle Wiggily skirt, Uncle Wiggily shirt, with some kind of sweater or jacket, cute socks and my edge grafica engineer boots (0L - 15 min camping). Add to the mix the Uncle Wiggily patchwork antlers, and voila! That's what I've looked like all week. The only word I can find for it is "whimsical" or maybe just "me".


I'm wearing hair from bOOn (0L), Uncle Wiggily patchwork antlers (1L), Uncle Wiggily Gloaming Shadows skirt (1L -gloaming is my fave time of day/word so this is aces with me), She Swallows cardie by Sn@tch (200L for a giant fat pack on every layer), tank from Sisters (1L), stockings previously blogged, skin is lessthan3's Vain Inc Hunt giftie, and the usual boots. My necklace is a SECRET (forthcoming post I swear!). Pics @ Balderdash in Oubliette



Next up, I'm in Uncle Wiggily Indian Paisley skirt (1L for set of 5), Wiggily Hedgehog socks (which you can't see cos i am dumb - 50L for a 6 pk of colours), Ombre Shirt (Wiggily group gift), Spring.. sweater is from Thimbles (95L), hair from lamb (breeze - 300L per 4 colour pack definite investment piece). Pics taken @ HMPD



2. Grid Hunt Capitulation

Next is all about me conceding defeat and doing portions of the gridwide hunts that have plagued us all. I love them, but my only-in-sl-ocd hates me for them. I did not complete them, by any means, merely went to the stores I like. The worst part is? I've forgotten whether these were from the Vain Inc Hunt, or the Greatest Love.. so many stores were in both. (besides, too much pink is like pepto bismol for me - makes me vomitous every time)


I've got on BOOM's hunt gift, Tokeo Plastik's hunt gift corset underneath, with Gypsy Soul's Betrayed Heart gift scarf, Sh*t Happens zebra jeans dollarbie, lessthan3's vain Inc gift skin, CaLLie cLine's happy girl gift flats (she had pink ones submitted for whichever hunt gift this one wasn't), and Exile group hair gift, and my usual Aitui Armtubes. Pics taken at Uncle Wiggily's, Dilly Dolls, and the Vinyl Cafe, respectively.


Below is a Sanu group giftie Salmon Love Sushi! It does the hitting on of others for you!! Just clickety-click and whammo - SL date! (0L but I think it's available to buy for 50L)


3) Jennie The Typo Killer In Wonderland


This is me wandering around BlueBlood's sim - psychedelia at it most wonderfulness. I've got on OMFG's Pencil O' Doom (1L - fully scripted for damage!!!! muahahahahahaha), and OMFG's goggles (1L), tattered shirt from Sn@tch's Gun Bunny outfit (lucky chair gift), Fishy Strawberry's Butcher cargos (Halloween lucky chair gift - complete with noob fingies in the pockets), the ubiquitous edge grafica boots, Sprawl gloves (I forget how much I paid, but I wanna say 50L or so?), T. King's steampunk watch (part of a really expensive set, bought as a gift for a friend a couple years back, before I realised it was no trans, and also that I didn't much like the person I was buying it for anyhoo XD)and my gorgeous bruised skin is from lessthan3's Ghostbuster Gridwide Hunt gift.



My friend Meta popped in while I was exploring to burn his retinas out (really - this sim, at midnight, in Ultra graphics, is bright like WHOA). Here he is playing Mad Hatter at tea..

Hi, My Name Is JW..

and I'm an addict..

I think everyone who knows me at this point has noticed my slight infatuation with bunnehs. You know, the big kind you can sit on and cuddle (*coughs* scroll down in my blog for the exact moment my addiction solidified) Whenever I'm feeling lonely, or in need of a hug, and noone is around to appease the ache, I go and find one of these, and always feel better. HMPD is the creator of most of these awesome, eye-blinky, nose and ear twitchy BFFs, but there is also a sweet little calico patchy huggy version of unknown origin I've seen about and love equally. I've decided that my next few blogs will feature these wherever I find them on the grid - mostly cos I am of the Traveller family and own no land of my own (though I lust for a sweet little vardo somewhere like Hya once had on ~silentsparrow~ back in the day).

My first installment will be from Sanu's new home in Scribble - where I finished maybe the most fun, magical hunt I've ever done in SL. The gifts were mindbogglingly stupendous, and while I didn't take any shots of the actual gifts (cos A) I'm stupey and forgot to before I logged and B) everyone else and their sister blogged about them already so it's not like I'd be breaking any new ground there.) I DID take some that show just a touch of the beauty that is Sanu's new home.

This first shot is what I first saw when I tp'd into Scribble - Radio had changed her colour scheme for Valentine's day! The contrasting colours are just so striking. She is an artiist I admire greatly. (NOTE: I will be doing a Scribble product entry soon, cos I've been long amiss in my showing the incredible gifts she gives to her peeps). Hullo Valen-ghostie!


I then headed over to Sanu and gasped at how pretty her new store is! While getting sucked into the whimsy that is Sanura's hunts, I couldn't help but play on all the neat things she has around, including bunnehs!!


My hunt outfit consists of Rock Candy's Bambi hair (100L for a 6 colour pack), Thimbles' Henry Hybrid plaid shirt (20L for two versions, but only for a short time), Bingo's starry leggings (0L 5 pack), socks from Sn@tch's F'n Colourchange Leggings (lucky chair gift), flats from Kookie's (45L V-Day special.. so sweet!), and denim cutoffs from Project Kiwi (20L).


Waiting for Sanu's Lucky Chair..


Look at the ingenious way Sanura links in all the important information.. *le sighs over the storybook romance of it all*


Exhausted by all the hunts (and the ginormous mochalattecino caffeine crash) I take a much needed snooze on the soft paws of my friend here.. Right next to Sanu's gift in the Greatest Love hunt oddly enough ^-^
