Platinum Elves in Space

Alright last night I was pretty bored. While browsing through Feeds and Blogs I noticed, that I totally forgot about the Platinum hunt and in just a few moments my boredom was gone. Hopping through stores I barely knew or never heard of is great if you have nothing to do. So I was grabbing a few of the prizes and were looking through them afterwards, and I have to say that it is totally worth it to pay 10 L$ per item, I’d pay much more for that quality.

So while looking through the things I got, I found myself in a mix of a couple of them because I was too lazy to take them off before I did not want to wear a new one and what I saw, I kinda liked. (The Leggins, Gloves and Shoes come with a top as well, but I mixed it with a different top I was wearing before). So this post was born *grins*

The sim that sprung into my mind was one of those i discovered recently on my Flickr-Location Tour and it was really great for those pics. It’s a dark Scifi Roleplay sim named The next day, City of Doom. What I really love about it is that you really feel like being in that dark futuristic time AND you do not have to wear an observer titler (I hate those things) because the rules dictate “If you do not wear the title [from the combat system] you are seen as non existent to role play”. So as long as you do not wear a titler you can wander around without being dragged into play and can look around, observe, make pictures and so on.

Have you gat’cha Summer of Love fix?

Yesterday I have shown you a couple of items I got at the Gatcha Festival, and I promised you also to show more – so here I am.

But that is not all. Last night I also visited the “Summer of Love” Fair. I have to admit that I did not know what it is about and I was surprised. I have heard that there is a little hunt – quite a few sculpted question marks are standing around and when you touch/buy (depending on the question mark) you will not only get an item but also notecards about lots of mental disorders like eating disorders, Depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, Gender identity disorder, Anxiety and much more.

It is very informative and I am really impressed by all the information that has been collected to raise awareness for those issues that are all around us or in us, but rarely someone talks about them seriously because of shame, tabu or simply not knowing what it is. Being affected myself I was taking all the notecard with me to learn more and i’m still not done reading. I can only recommend to take the time.

But of course there is not only reading there is also … shopping – correct. So I got things during the hunt and I treated myself with some shopping as well and so I will show you more gatcha and Summer of Love Goodies

While I was looking through the stuff I got in the last days I got an idea. Something we call “Urlaub auf Balkonien” in Germany, roughly translated “Vacation on Balconia” (Balconia for balcony) I think it would staycation in English. And I was looking around in SL for a sim with some big city flair like I knew it from home, that has building permissions to set out my stuff haha – easy? Nope but I did it, this is Urban Ghetto -Slum City. And here we are, since I cannot go anywhere – my Vacation on Balconia…
