So I’m still reeling from my massive inventory loss, and also the fact that Linden Lab Support haven’t yet had the common decency to get in touch with me…but more on that later.
A notecard dropped in my inventory earlier from ATOMIC, announcing new releases, and here we have them. This aubergine ‘Swooped Sweater Dress’ and these rather lovely tied ‘Ribbon Leggings’ are new releases in store, and of course come in an array of colours for your mix and match happy. Sweater dresses are ten a penny in-world ( not that I’m complaining, I love them) but what makes this one above average is the fact that the swooped-cowl neckline is resizeable for a perfect fit. I really like that, it’s just an extra from the designer to make you happier with your purchase and shows real thought..same for the leggings actually, they have the same resizer scripts built into the ribbon embellishment. Something else that really impresses me is there’s no lumpy prim hanging around my fanny area and spoiling the line of the dress, it fits *beautifully*. I’ve finished the look off with my UBU trainers ( thank god they didn’t walk from my inventory) and Magika hair in ‘Sinner’, which is probably my favourite bobbed style of 2009…and I do like a good bob..ho ho! My sad lil chops are smiling again because I got me some Atomic happy..I suggest that you do the same. Oh, and if you join the group(costs L$250 but well worth it) you get a special edition of this dress and leggings too..which is nice:)
Swooped Sweater Dress: L$150 ( Bloody bargain)
Ribbon Tied Leggings: L$100

*UPDATED* Gridwide VIP Hunt in full swing…
So the grid is as laggy as fook and there’s grey goo everywhere and people seem to be colliding into each other whilst ravaging sims in a frenzy of virtual excitement..yes, it’s ANOTHER hunt. As previously mentioned the Gridwide VIP hunt promised to be a fine affair and so far it has actually delivered upon it’s promise of superior quality hunt items. The majority of finds are quality wares indeed and it is definitely worth the L$200 entrance fee for the Atomic skin alone, which I’m wearing in the picture. I’m also wearing part of the Nekeo gift (ears) as well as the rather fabulous Shinji armwarmers ( they come with matching trainers as well-woot!) As hunts go it’s also exceptionally tough, frustratingly so at times. There are going to be clues featured on the web site accompanying the hunt but I’ve given up on 3 locations already for fear of developing RSI through frantic use of my space navigator (they’re ace for hunts). I will give it another go but I feel like I have my moneys worth already..if you’re a UK based hunter here’s a heads-up, hunt in the mornings while the more prolific US based SL’ers are catching some real life zees..it really does make a huge difference to all the lag. Happy hunting chaps, and don’t forget that some of the locations featured are also participating in the SL Discovery hunt so that’s double the freebiage, and also look out for the Midnight Mania boards that many of the locations featured have on their sites…(you’ll need to be quick though, every single store that I’ve visited on the hunt already had the boards in lockdown mode!)
