Back again
Well, that was a long break. Interesting to be back and to see how much has changed! Some of my favourite designers have gone, some are still here and others have diversified. And mesh! That’s been fun to get my head around (literally in some instances!). I shall be resurrecting the blog – and have roped in a friend to also add posts. We’ll add some stuff we’ve found on our travels, events, hunts and just lovely stuffs.

I’ve been randomly wandering around hitting MM boards and getting group gifts dropping into my inventory, so here are a few I’d like to share with you. The fabulous dress I’m wearing (above) is called Lotus Lucky Onyx and is the current Midnight Madness prize from ~:evldva:~ It’s really detailed with gorgeous texturing. There are 20 pieces to play with on lots of layers and accessories too, including a hair decoration, earrings and the sculpted boots you can see below.
The next dress is Gideon from the PixelLounge range at PixelDolls and is their MM prize too. It has great leather details on the bodice and a feathery skirt:
Next up is another MM prize, this time from Steambound – there are several MM boards here, all with great quality outfits in them so do look around. This one is called Veronica Revealed and comes in lots of options on various layers, plus lots of different prim skirt attachments, including the great bustle shown in the pic below
My final pic is the latest group gift from PixelMode – the shoes “Lady T Jaguar” come with an easy to use hud to match skin tone and change nail colour
The skin in all these pictures is the current group gift from Belleza called Erika – I’m wearing the medium shade, and you get six shades in the gift pack. You do have to pay to join the group, but it’s worth it for the quality of the gifts you get.
The hair is from Clawtooth & Truth, eyes from Poetic Colors, rings from Callie Cline and poses are from Glitterati

Melting ice
No Stumblebum this weekend, so I took the opportunity to investigate Melt – an installation on thin ice. This opened on Saturday and will close on 21st March. The brain child of Radio Signals, 25 creators and artists were given a brief using the words “Drowning. Melting. Polar bears. Arctic. Culpability. Corporate greed. Inevitability. Extinction.”
The result is thought-provoking and well worth seeing – from massive polar bears to pose balls enabling you to drown in the melting ice caps! There is a also an area under the ice where you can buy exclusive items from the creators involved, including furniture, art, clothes and skins. I picked up a few which you can see below – but do go and spend some time there if you can.
Vest: Silent Sparrow – Ursala Glacies Leather Vest, blue with polar bear motifs on front & back. On all layers, 75L
Kilt: Schadenfreude – Beorn Polar Tartan Kilt – unisex kilt with polar bear sporran. 2 lengths with glitch pants on both layers. Includes prim cuffs for pants, 275L A fur version is also available – both are exclusive to Melt.
Boots: Split Pea & Duh! Polar Bear Feets – Fashionista for Melt! – fur boots with colour-change claws, 200L Version with brown claws also available.
Boots: Miel Far Boots – Polar Edition, 275L Socks are colour change,
Back view of Silent Sparrow vest, and the long-length Schadenfreude kilt.
