Baffled

Baffle is a great shop that is unfortunately closing in world and until November 11 everything is on sale for 55l. You can find an eclectic mix of pose props, decor and other items there, but the builds are truly special (see my Secret Garden post for another Baffle build I recently blogged).

Each design is totally unique and range from a domed floating home in the middle of the ocean, to a winter igloo complete with Polar bear or a creepy cottage with graveyard and hidden slaughter chamber. After rezzing them on the demo platform, I couldn't resist buying them all.

I've done some fashion shots below using Baffle's Le Petit Reve skybox from the sale, which is a fun approximation of a slightly grungy Paris apartment with some great texturing. See my next post for more shots of the build.

Also the November Mens Dept round has started with some cool items (including great Mesh pants from Credo and gO this round). Don't forget to check it out.

Edit Nov 15: Baffle is now closed so I have pulled the links.

When I go out to explore, I just can't resist wandering into abandoned buildings. Here are a few shots I took with items from the Mens Dept (there are some gifts as well) and jewelery from the Summer Fashion Fair.

Overcoming of It (Bonus)

The Designer Prims skybox I blogged yesterday was too nice to not do one more look before I take it down. The post shows the new group gift from NV along with a few gifts from hunts that are ending today.

MENstuff 3 (part 2)

As promised, three more looks from the MENstuff hunt. There are great gifts as always (thanks to all the designers), but I must say, for me, the shapes are really the standouts. Each look here and in Part 1 uses a different shape from the hunt (as well as different skins).

A pumpkin tale

Forget green I always say. Orange is where it's at. My pumpkin house is easy to heat, totally ecological and the insects handle all the recycling. It only has one room, but I don't really need more.



With my best friend Munchkin girl coming over, it's time for something a little more formal. Of course, she was late as usual.



She finally made it, mumbling something about a 12 broom pile-up out near the yellow brick interchange. We caught up on the latest gossip, Munchy mostly dissing Mother Goose (a lush) and Rapunzel (extensions) - I won't repeat the names she used. Anyway, here we are watching the pumpkins grow.


Munchkin Girl:

  • Outfit: dimbula rose - Munchkin Girl (mmm Halloween hunt gift until October 31st)
  • Shoes: duh - Mary Janes (Harry Potter Hunt #18 until October 31, gift also includes male shoes) 
  • Hair: Birth - NCS2 Renju ke unisex hair (Fallen & Depraved hunt #28 until October 15th -- Hunt Hints)
  • Skin: Katsucide - Romantica (previously available at Grunge Soul Project)
  • Shape: Tokyo Girl - Hyuna 5'7" (new release not free)

It was getting late and Munchkin girl said she had to be off. Powering up her broom, she  turned to wave...


It must have been the pumpkin schnaaps because she seemed a little wobbly, swerving just within reach of Boris, the spider who keeps guard over my house. I don't think she ever saw it coming...


  • Bodysuit: Rotten Defiance - "Richard Simmons taught me everything I know" - Lace Bodysuit Orange (October Store Hunt Gift-- gifts spread throughout the 1st floor in the white skulls) 
  • Make-up: SyS - Demon Makeup (FTLO boo-for-2 Hunt #15 until October 31st)

Some notes about the hunts: The mmm Halloween hunt has a small number of gifts all located in the same general area. There are no hints, just click all the pumpkins until you find the items. However, there are also tons of decoys. Without the generous assistance of Juliet Broono, I would never have found the munchkin outfits. Special hint from me: Pumpkins don't always grow on the ground.

The FTLO boo-for-2 hunt is also different. Every participating store has two gifts, one male and one female.The catch is that only one of the two items is free. There are no hints and all the gifts are located on the same sim.

Mattresses

When the boss says to go to the mattresses you don't start cracking wise. I just had the time to grab some essentials: my favorite leather jacket, pajama pants, Latreia sneakers...and my glock.

Jacket: Luna:::Sabia - Leather Jacket (50l)

Tank Top: Sf Design - Plain White Muscle T (previous Monday Mania sale item)

Pants: Static Clothing Co. - Pyjama Pants (Summer Nights Hunt #4, free until June 3rd)

Skybox: Tampon Inside- Urban Skybox (1l on marketplace)

After a week of pizza and pinochle in a stinking rat hole, we got the all clear. I badly needed a shave and some fresh air, but it ain't easy shaving with a clogged sink and a Contadina can for a mirror.

Watch: Kurenai Mode - LF-Shock Wristwatch (Free)

Shaving animation: X-Clusives Animations - Guy Shaving (His Style Hunt #2, free until May 31)

Cleaned up, I threw on some new threads and stepped onto the Asbury Park boardwalk... You'll forget I said that if you know what's good for ya... It felt freaking great to be alive, but I wasn't taking any chances.

Note: Latreia owner Hera Aviatik tells me she likes to give stuff away. And she is doing just that now until June 5th to mark the opening of her casual footwear store. Go to Latreia, pick anything in the store (with the exception of a few items, such as the texture changers) drop an NC in the store mail box with your selection and avi name and she will deliver a free pair of shoes to you.
