Season of the Witch is NOW OPEN!

Season of the Witch is NOW OPEN!

SEASON OF THE WITCH has finally opened in Second Life, and fluff me guys and gals, it’s pretty much everything I’d dreamed of!

Now that I’ve finished my RL shift cycle I’ve finally logged in-world and visited the sim to assess what’s there to see, buy and ultimately enjoy.  It really is an experience to be savoured, that’s for sure; the sim is an absolute delight to wander around and take photographs, and the wares that are on display are a treat.  There’s clothing, props, gachas and jewellery galore and the experience is infused with a bohemian vibe.

You can practically smell the wood smoke of the campfires, hear the crunch of the leaves underfoot and taste Autumn in the air.  The music that’s playing at the sim only serves to enhance the experience too, and I confess that I could quite happily move in and live there! (Now THERE’S a thought, someone needs to make a residential sim with this vibe, come on, I’d rent from you if you did!) I’m amazed I didn’t bump into the cast of American Horror Story: Coven or even Stevie Nicks as I strolled from store to store, eyeing up all the goodies on sale, but there were certainly plenty of lookalikes and gorgeous witches at the event enjoying themselves.

If you get overwhelmed by all the shopping then there’s plenty of space to take a seat and cam shop should you so wish, and it was very tempting to sit rooted amongst the soft furnishings and candles for the afternoon, just enjoying the vibes while the Nag Champa smouldered in the background.

For an event to offer so much promise and actually deliver is no mean feat, and as you can tell I’m enjoying myself immensely there, and can pretty much guarantee that I’ll be visiting the sim as frequently as I’m able until the event ends on November 4th.

I’ll share all my findings with you here on Kittywitchin’, obviously! It’s the event this blog was made to feature really (it’s only taken ten years for it to appear!)

Congratulations to Melora Frost, Amaryllis Oona and Joonie Jatho and all the designers and bloggers involved in this wonderful event!

SKIN OF THE WEEK: ‘Daisy’ by Amara Beauty@4MESH

SKIN OF THE WEEK: ‘Daisy’ by Amara Beauty@4MESH

Another week, another belter of a skin from AMARA BEAUTY.  This time it’s a skin called ‘Daisy’, a rather lovely name if you ask me, and it’s a perfect choice for this beautiful skin. What I like particularly on this skin is the brow: a strong uniform shape that’s bold and goes against the current trend of tapered brows. It works incredibly well, making for a strong, distinctive face whichever CATWA head you choose to wear (I’m sporting tone 4 on ‘Catya’, along with the MAITREYA ‘Lara’ mesh body).

As always there are no issues here with shading across the body and ‘the bits that matter’ because let’s face it, there never is with AMARA BEAUTY skins.  Shantia has become adept at producing some of the best skins in SECOND LIFE and they make an absolutely perfect base for make-up appliers.  I think they work particularly well with the PINK FUEL makeup palettes and highly recommend them.

(Oh and just in case you’re wondering the lingerie I’m wearing is the group gift for this month from BLACKLACE lingerie.  It’s their ‘Starlight’ set in a stunning azure blue, and my hair is by LIMERENCE, ‘Kim’ in Ombres from HAIROLOGY)

Daisy Catwa Skin Applier: 12 tones available,  850L each. 5 different brow colours included from pale to dark, plus no brow option. 

Purchase from 4MESH until 1st October. 

PS The keen-eyed amongst you will spy that I’m using the same pose that I used a few blog posts back..shock! Horror! Can’t help it, I love it, it’s by VIRTUAL DIVA but I cannot for the life of me recall where I got it from! It must have been an event because I don’t see any classified store listings in the creator, Angels Kristan’s profile. Anyway, for what it’s worth it’s called ‘VD-Wild-4’

Can you believe that this dress is a freebie from the COCO UPDATE GROUP? It’s *perfect* for wearing with some boots and crunching through some leaves. It’s got an open back which looks very on trend, albeit a tad cold for the change in the season. There’s an entire wall jam-packed with freebies at COCO, so it’s definitely worth joining the group to check them all out.

Here’s your TAXI!

Kitty’s Raves & Faves: ‘Torsion Moon Clock’ by Candle & Cauldron

Kitty’s Raves & Faves: ‘Torsion Moon Clock’ by Candle & Cauldron

This weekend sees the beginning of the Fall 2017 ‘Spoonful Of Sugar’ Festival, supporting Medecins Sans Frontieres (‘Doctors Without Borders’)  The festival will run from Saturday, September 16th through to Sunday, October 1st, and promises to be an exceptional Autumn themed event.

One of this blog’s favorite Second Life brands, ‘Candle & Cauldron’ will have two fabulous items available for purchase. One is a fantastic ‘Night Magic’ Frame (If you’re a fan of the musical ‘Wicked’ you may find this hard to resist) and the other is this outstanding ‘Torsion Moon Clock’

I cannot get enough of this clock; it’s available in gold and silver finishes and features a glass dome covering a moon with witches circling beneath. The detail is great and the moon phases are completely accurate too, making this a very special piece not just for Halloween but year round. I’m completely in love with it!

I don’t have the details on hand for when the event opens or the location but as soon as I do have them I’ll update this blog post because you don’t want to miss out. Medecins Sans Frontieres perform such important work, and this is definitely an event that deserves our support.
