Outtakes

Here are a few scenes inspired by the Cinema event that runs through Oct. 31. If you haven't been you must go check it out. The event takes place in a giant Multiplex replica with movie clips playing in various themed areas (such as Sci Fi, Adult films, Action/Adventure, etc). It is really quite fun and there is some great shopping as well, featuring many of SL's best creators.

Vintagy

With August drawing to a close, there are just a few days left for Vintage Fair (ends Aug 29), where you will find three sims with 100s of shops showcasing new releases with a "vintage" twist (along with the occasional gift). I love to see the pose props/poses released at these events and Vintage Fair is full of new items from the posemakers. One of the best is "Escher" from Bent, which has 22 cool, artsy poses in a surreal, multi-level white structure that reminds me of a classic Calvin Klein fragrance ad.

The post also features two new skin releases. Ezra is another in a series of great skins from Heartsick available at Vintage Fair and I imagine in-store after the event. Essences' new skin Dinu is on-sale at Mens Dept for the super low price of 85l (Essences is also gifting a tone from this skin in the Menstuff hunt).

L'Heure Fauve

A little bit of green in the month of March is always a good thing. Of course, living where I do in the middle of a big city, it's not always easy to find nature, but sometimes nature has a way of finding you, as shown by the two beasts keeping me company for this post.

The build here is a hunt gift from dirty.little.secret, fully furnished with lots of decor & an upper level not shown in the post (it will be available at a nominal price after the hunt). Also I want to thank Draven Schapire of Bad Cat Alley, who lent me Oliver, his furry pride and joy. Check out his store if you are in the market for feline accompaniment.
