Bad Sun: Study in Pixels

I’m not a huge fan of sunshine, more of the hiss-bright-melting variety. Not that I’m that big a fan of -30 Celsius frost either, mind you. But. This is about sun and how I suddenly knew exactly what kind of a post I’d make with the three hunts and some I’ve been meaning to blog. The hunts in question are: Seasons Hunt: Summer, Waffle Fox Hunt and Poupee Hunt, all full of awesome things that I’ll no doubt return to later.

Let’s start our story! Here’s our oblivious heroine on her way to the beach. She has a new summer dress by Paper.Doll (SH), hair covered by butterflies by Shag (SH) and a new bike by What Next (SH). What could possibly go wrong?

Skin is by AddiCt (SH) and the adorable waffle rings are by EY.NO (WFH). The house is by L2 Studio (SH), the paintings, deck chair and pillow by LISP Bazaar (SH) and the adorable puppy girl doll by Naminoke (PH).

Settling on the summer swing by Glitterati (SH) and indulging in a berry drink by Poche (RandoMuseum), lounging about in the sun, ignoring the worried looks that the lifeguard gives her, perhaps even dozing off…

Yes, I know, Gmok the Wise by Herbalys is an old hunt gift and has nothing to do with all these hunts, but he was so perfect to play the lifeguard part! The fun lifeguard tower is by Molto Bene (SH), the bikini by Doppelganger Inc. (SH), hair by Raw House (SH) and the sunglasses by Pididdle (SH). Skin is by The Plastik and it’s one of the many shades available in today’s 50L Fridays.

The next morning wasn’t so good, no. Even the bunny in the bed by Art Dummy! (PH) was listless and despairing and the nommy breakfast by Cluttered Flowey (SH) failed to cheer her up. The sunburn skin by My UglyDorothy (PH) was pretty much perfect for this, especially with the addition of extra sunburn and sun screen by Tres Blah.

The top is a part of Tres Blah’s prize and the shorts are by The Secret Store (SH). Hair is by Plume (SH) and I used Exile’s hairbase with it. The bangles are by LaGyo (SH) and the house is by Doremi (PH).

Having learned her lesson our heroine is recovered and remembers to have a parasol of some sort no matter where she goes. The adorable Totoro’s summer umbrellas are by duboo. (SH) and she shares one with a mini-Gmok who is obviously coming with her for a ride on her scooter by (pda) (SH).

Skin is by Belle Morte (WFH), top by Ingenue (SH), scarf skirt by graph* (PH) and the background is a part of the tropico skybox by Umwelt (SH). Hair with roses is a freebie by Plume and the hair decoration is by Clawtooth (SH), bangles still by LaGyo and same as earlier. Eyes in all the pictures have been by Insufferable Dastard (SH) in various tones.

What have we learned from this? Use sun screen if you’re lacking in magical parasols, sip your fruity drinks in the shade and always, always listen to strange magical creatures.

/geekgasm, take two~

I got back from my little Midsummer holiday to find out that my internet had been fixed! Huzzah! To celebrate I went on the second Geekgasm Hunt. It felt very appropriate. The hunt lasts until July 13th, so there’s plenty of time to hop the short 40+ shops round of geeky prizes! The hunt starts here and I’m recommending joining the hunt group for the latest fixes and the hint list.

I took all the pictures in the First Spring House by Doremi, a cute little setting that it was. I added reading pillows by FACTS and the wonderful TARDIS lamp by Kuroi Koneko to the set, as well as D&D Player Handbook by *Boof. and Geek Survival Pack by COOL BEANS. The posters on the walls are also by *Boof.

This particular geek girl is wearing a top by LoveCats, pants with suspenders by Beauty Killer and a sweater by Beatnik wrapped around her waist. The ultimate geek hat is by The Mad Hattery and the almost-steampunkish gear phone in a neck strap is by DownDownDown. The skin and the teeth layer are by Heartsick, the nintendo kissy on her cheek is by Doremi and the amusing Turn Me On eyes are by Skinthesis. I kept the eyes throughout the photoshoot. The shy geek pose is by Croire. The hair is a freebie by booN and not a part of the hunt.

The Geek Ultra Nook by Tasty was filled with random fun things and had to be posed in! The glowy mushroom lamp with penguin in the background is by Hanaya, though. The geek girl is wearing an adorable DNA-romper by The Sea Hole, cthulhu-braided hair (and head plushie) by Bad Juju and shoes & socks by LoveCats. The neck strap is by Yellow Berry and the Rubik’s Cube Ring by Cracked Mirror. The glasses are by Pestle & Twig.

The hunt lacked proper boffer larp armor or any other actual fantasy gear, so the geek girl going to cosplay a night elf gets to pose in a tanktop by Grixdale, instead. The skin and ears are by Ello Poppet. I added Princess Peach Mizu Makeover by M.O.C.K. Cosmetics and Princess Serenity Crescent Moon by Doremi tattoo layers to it. The pose is by .Thump and the radioactive lava lamp in the background is by Moxie. The hair is a freebie by Lamb and not a part of the hunt.

Get out there and embrace your inner geek~
