52 Colours: Jade

My inventory failed to present me awesome jade statues and oriental luxury props. Sadness. Jade really sounds like it should be all that: ancient statues, lost cities, exquisitely carved long pipes (I drooled at the ones in Rozoregalia for a bit, but managed to run before I bought it just for this one picture), hairdos and ornaments reaching for heavens and slinky qipaos with a lot of attitude.

This is as close as I got. Miss Jade told me she demanded at least some sort of gigantic green crystals so I ported to the Emerald City in Magic of Oz. Who knows, maybe the yellow brick road leads to everywhere magical, like a counterpart to roads leading to Rome.

I admit that this might have just been an excuse to go and buy another Tukinowaguma hair, but she needed huge hair ornaments! I turned the whole thing green with the included colour-change scripts. The Miamai dress (old group gift) was such a wonderful metallic sheen of jade that it was the first thing I decided on for Miss Jade. I got her new eyes from the Poetic Colors sale (ends on June 12th) and added make-up by The Plastik. Earrings are by Bliensen + MaiTai, skin by League and pose by Poise.

The Year of the Bunny

Ozimals and Magic of Oz are organizing a new hunt to honour the starting year of the rabbit in Chinese calendar. The hunt system is similar to their previous ones: pick up a basket, click spawning things (this time gold coins) until your basket is full, then pick a shop from a blue menu and once you have gone through all of them (there are sixteen), you can start locating the shops on the sims. Some of them are in Magic of Oz, some in Ozimals. Once you have found the right shop, wear the Chinese Good Luck symbol that you got from the blue menu and click it to receive your prize.

And without further ado, here are some of my favorites~

There’s an adorable little bunny sales skyboxish thing from +mocha+, I took both pictures there. The I Love Bunnies photo prop is from Jolly Farm. The red lapine frock coat is from Silent Sparrow and the cute rabbit drawing that you can hold in your mouth is the result of Sanu’s calligraphy pen (another mouth item). You can click it to receive the drawing. Schadenfreude gifted two pairs of bunnyflake eyes, wearing the green ones in this one and brown ones in the lower one. Bodysuit (Sn@tch), leggings (COCO), skin (Djinn & Tonic) and hair (lamb.) are not a part of the hunt.

And then to something completely different! I had to even change the shape for it to work with this dress, it’s obviously designed for more lithe, girlish figures than what Sonya usually has. The dress, fun boots and the colourful bunny sleeve tattoos are all from katat0nik, who had two separate gifts in this hunt. The bracelet is from Frippery and the bunny bench is from Fae & Tiny Fantasy Creations. Skin and hair are not a part of the hunt. The hair is from Curious Kitties, another funny Year of the Bunny gift. I’m foreseeing this to be a good bunny year, yesyes. <.< The skin is from Plastik and it’s just 75L for this weekend’s Lazy Sundays. Its price will hop back up after that.

Go forth, hunt and enjoy~

Summer Is All About Strawberries~

At least here in Finland. We have a strawberry season for about two months, if we’re lucky. Foreign strawberries don’t taste as good and are a poor substitute, thus no amount of importing will fix this matter. Summer is about strawberries and Finns are like kids in a candy store, buying boxes of strawberries and just noming them as they are. ^_^ …because who could -wait- to make something out of them, seriously? <.<

Anyways! Magic of Oz & Ozimals have a Strawberry Festival going on! It’s not really a hunt since all you need to do is pick up your strawberry basket from Magic of Oz sim, go to for example the little mall area in the same sim and click the strawberries that keep respawning. After every six strawberries you get a blue menu asking which shop’s fork you want. There’s 16 shops involved altogether. When you have a fork (although I’d recommend getting all the ones you want first), you visit their shops in either of the sims, wear the fork and click it when standing near a cake in their booth. Then you get the prize. All of course strawberry themed.

The super cutesy strawberry outfit is from katat0nik, except for the socks and wristlettes from Silent Sparrow. The barrettes are from Blackberry Jam and the cute tag with a red ribbon is from Scribble. The tree with a strawberry light on the left is from Fae & Tiny Fantasy Creations, the barrels from veLveteen and the flower arrangement from ~Houses For You~. Hair from LOQ and skin from Djinn & Tonic are not a part of the hunt~

Random close-up is random! Sanu had provided adorable earrings (and a necklace and a crayon ^^) and Evie had this wonderful wreath. Eyes from Poetic Colors <3 (not a part of the festival)

There’s cute and there’s cute and then there’s Risusipo. ^.^ They had this bunny tiny with a strawberry dress, a chipmunk tiny with a strawberry dress -and- a normal human woman sized strawberry dress as well! Kahlua is balancing a finch from Schadenfreude on top of her head. They’re really shoulder-pet-birdies, but the dress was rather busy as it was! Cute non-festival related Happy Mood things on the background! (Stump, bunny, birdies~)

I didn’t show off everything, but these are my favorites. Remember, all the shops are in either Magic of Oz or Ozimals sims. Easy and fun — as long as lag doesn’t hit you~
