/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~

52 Colours: Mahogany

Now this would have been the perfect spot to whip out a mahogany dryad, but instead I turned to my go-to for browns: steampunk. I knew the dress I wanted to use, but it had only brown accents, so I decided to make two looks. While working on them the character pretty much wrote herself.

Miss Mahogany is obviously a sort of Jekyll/Hyde type of a character. At daytime she’s all innocent little steampunk-universe girl with leaves in her hair…

I’ve wanted to use this dress by Silent Sparrow for ages, obviously I need more steampunk events in my Slife. It’s a group joining gift (not free to join) and absolutely gorgeous. I’m especially fond of the lace on the front. The furniture in the background is by The Epic Toy Factory except the coffee pot by Oblonski. The wonderfully mahogany-shaded steampunk house is by Primwynly. Cutesy innocent pose by Diesel Works.

When the night arrives, little Miss Mahogany sneaks into the drawing room to sketch her plans for world domination!

I have this outfit by Bare Rose in three colours, apparently. I’m amused. What can you do, it’s awesome! The Visions of Flight hat is by The Mad Hattery. The villainness is holding an emotional monitor by Grim Bros. and her goggles are from the same place. Pose is by Olive Juice — can’t you practically hear her cackle? Thinker’s worktable and kyberneticist’s dictation apparatus in the background are by E&D Engineering. The hair is by Curious Kitties, eyes by The Plastik and skin by League in both pictures. A lot of the steampunk things are from old STEAM Hunts, which just goes to prove that they are worth checking out every time!

So Steamy~

As usual, after I train my caming skills to extreme with Twisted, I assault Steam Hunt. They’re always during the same months, after all. Steam Hunts are mostly about furniture, gadgets, strange machinations and textures with some top hats tossed into the mix, but this round there were some excellent clothing choices as well! I used Sky Everett’s hairs in all the pictures as well as lovely golden eyes from Poetic Colors. Skins changed, but none of these were a part of the hunt.

Here’s a random noble lady, concerned over something, perchance a theft of something valuable. The matter disturbed her so greatly that she forgot her after-masquarade bath for the moment.

That half-mask with the elegant face piercing made me squee. It’s by Orquidea and absolutely breathtaking. The outfit is by Rag Dollz and matching gold-painted skin by Imabee. She’s sitting on a steampunk throne by Julia Collection while the bathtub by Damned Good Design is momentarily forgotten in the background. The holdable mask (a part of the outfit) lies on the edge of the bath. All the pictures except the last were taken in a steampunk loft by D&M Dream Furniture.

Perhaps this has something to do with her worries: an airship pirate obviously feeling way too smug for being innocent. Of anything. She’s been up to no good, that’s clear.

The whole outfit is by Dare Designs and perfect for daring pirate girls. It comes with a skirt option, but those just get in the way! The crates she’s sitting on are a part of a fun celebratory prop combination from Lemons & Cream, it came complete with champagne and a booty chest! In the background you can see a work table by E&D Engineering and outlander’s sideboard with accessories by Noctis. Skin is by Nightshade.

The pirate girl has reason to celebrate because she’s hidden her loot so cleverly that even the best detective in town has been driven to drink. Or at least to consider one, while fiddling with her trusted gun on the table.

This outfit is beyond awesome. I love Wretched Dollies as is, but when they turn into western steampunk complete with guns, it’s time to break out that champagne! The goggles are by Grim Bros, the hat is by The Mad Hattery and the skin one of the latest group gifts by Mynerva. The table with everything on it is a part of POST’s metropol set and there’s a fainting couch by The Naughty Victorian on the background. The sketches on the wall are a part of the loft.

Now, where did the pirate girl hide the treasure? In the magical gear forest guarded by steampunk fairies of course! …of course there are such things, stop looking at me like that. If there weren’t, there wouldn’t have been several pairs of wings as prizes, nor magical plants, flowers and awesome things as well!

See? A steampunk fairy! Wings by Wildz Creations and dress by Ezura. The skin was a 50L Friday purchase from The Plastik a while ago and I felt that the curliques on it worked with the wings~ Trees and shiny things on the background are by The Epic Toy Factory and I warmly recommend visiting them to see all the nifty things. It was impossible to capture the entertainment of teaching daisies to dance or hopping up and down on shrooms or wandering in the magical airship where the prize was hidden, you have to go and see for yourself! I set my own little magical gear garden in the conservatory by Primwynly.

I feel like I cut the story into a cliffhanger. Who knows, maybe I’ll make a colour-post about what it was that the pirate girl stole… one of these days. We’ll see~
