I love the stage at Flashman’s. It makes me think it might have been painted by Salvador Dali. Flashman’s is the sort of bar where you can imagine all sorts of excitement happening under the surface of music, dancing and laughter. Messages are passed, assignations are arranged and secrets are shared. Here’s a secret, without items from the Platinum Hunt, I would be naked in this picture.

Our story opens at Hollow Hill’s Arkham Theatre where Gidgery Bloom is trying to buy a ticket for They Call Me Cthulhu. Gidgery pleads, “Please let me in, I swear I am over 17.”
Cajsary scoffs, “Over 17 inches, maybe.”

Gidgery was undaunted. “Well, if you won’t let me in, let’s go do the Platinum Hunt.” “Hmm, Blooms on the Hunt. Sounds fun,” muses Cajsary. “The film for the movie has melted anyway.”
Well, not quite 99 luftballons. But there are enough balloons in the What Next Platinum Hunt gift to carry you away. With individual and couples poses, it is even enough to carry you to the next store in this second annual hunt from Chic Management.
Here I am, ready to be carried away with this lovely dress from Nemesis for the Platinum Hunt. The dress is a gorgeous linen in a fatpack of pastel colors. The jewelry is from Kunglers.
My lighter than shoes are from Baiastice – a few years old, but still an old favorite.
The hair is from Exile for the Platinum Hunt. Also part of the hunt is the skin from Verve. Verve is the new combined brand for AtomicSparkle, Swansong and Evoke.
****STYLE NOTES******
The Platinum Hunt is on and folks are finding the best stuff. One of the great things about hunts is that it gets us out into the stores and we can see new releases that we might have missed and discovered new stores. While Di’s Opera is not new to me, the great poses in her Platinum Hunt gift prompted me to stop by her store for an extended browse. The last thing I need is new poses, but sometimes need is not part of the equation. I ended up purchasing some new poses that I used in this post and really, isn’t that why we do hunts? The outfit I am wearing is put together with gifts from Riddle and PXL Creations. The skirt and glasses are from Riddle. It also comes with a lovely blue top, but I wanted a bit more edge so I wore PXL Creations Dominatrix Corset. Both are Platinum Hunt items, so get out there and hunt!!

Now I’m walking on sunshine, oh oh!
I’m walking on sunshine, oh oh!
I’m walking on sunshine, oh oh!
And don’t it feel good!
Perhaps walking in sunshine is a more apt description for toddling about in this sunshine dress from Shiki Designs, nonetheless you can’t help but feel as happy as can be in this dress as bright as a smile.
SL rezzes clothing for me again – at last. It’s not back with all the bells and whistles yet, but hopefully the next update will fix that. I have been wearing this dress for 8 days while trying to get a snap of it. I am so glad it’s such a lovely dress in case anyone saw me wandering around. It’s the dress Sissy Pessoa designed for Leah McCullough who represented her home country as Miss Uruguay in the Miss Mundo Virtual contest.

Gidge’s words for this challenge are Faith and Desire. I desire to take pictures for the blog. I have faith that one of the viewers will upgrade to something usable soon. You may have noticed I have not blogged since the forced update. I have tried. In the past week I have tried:
Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I’ve tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.

The Leona dress from Zenith - Each color set comes in sold and print versions. The dress is by Miffyhoi Rosca - who is among the first dozen friends I made when I joined Second Life four years ago. PS. I hate the new iteration of the SL viewer. I have anti-aliasing on and all my settings are right I still get some raggedy edges.
The Vicious Family
When I first joined Second Life and was rescued by Gidge from the vicious stairs that had me trapped and began working with her (she was my supervisor) I was welcomed into this crazy “family” of folks at Vicious/Hypnoz, a club and shopping mall she managed. I started out cleaning prim trash and translating announcements into Spanish and graduated into helping plan and publicize events. It was a big family that included Miffyhoi Rosca. Miffy introduced me to pillow fighting and crazy gestures. I introduced her to horseback riding and surfing.
Miffy's first creation - a belt and armband
And then she decided she was going to make clothing and launched the Zenith brand. I can remember sitting with our mutual friend (and Gidge’s adopted daughter) Hatchy and one of Hatchy’s loves on a giant pig while watching Miffy spend hours and hours on her first creation – a candy belt and arm bands. Well, that was 2007 and her style has changed over the years as she has grown from college student to adulthood but her meticulous attention to detail and her love of fashion remains the same. My appreciation of her fashion has grown over the years. Candy belts were never my thing, perhaps being diabetic played a role in that, but how can I resist a lovely flowing floral frock like this?
I am wearing a choli, camisole and skirt from BoHo HoBo - an amazing new-to-me store.
Now the king told the boogie men
You have to let that raga drop
The oil down the desert way
Has been shakin’ to the top
The sheik he drove his Cadillac
He went a-cruisin’ down the ville
The muezzin was a’ standing
On the radiator grille
The sharif don’t like it
Rockin’ the Casbah
Rock the Casbah
The sharif don’t like it
Rockin’ the Casbah
Rock the Casbah
Inspired by Elle Couerblanc's pics at KoinUp, I took a trip to Tajuk Oasis for the pictures. You must wear a hug and a tag to travel there since it is a Gor sim. I happened by when it was pretty empty.
By order of the prophet
We ban that boogie sound
Degenerate the faithful
With that crazy Casbah sound
But the Bedouin they brought out
The electric camel drum
The local guitar picker
Got his guitar picking thumb
As soon as the sharif
Had cleared the square
They began to wail
The sharif don’t like it
Rockin’ the Casbah
Rock the Casbah
The sharif don’t like it
Rockin’ the Casbah
Rock the Casbah
