Couple of hunt items available in the blog today. The first mentioned is the MadPea Spring Hunt, and you can find all details on the MadPea website, including the starting point. You grab a hud and run around the grid in search of cute creatures, capturing them on your hud. Depending on the amount of creatures you catch, you can then run back to the start point to pick up some prizes from selected stores.
The second hunt is the Bunny Hop, follow the link to find the starting point. It runs from April 1-14th, with 30 participating stores. It's claimed to be a hard hunt, so make sure your camming skills are amaze!
Seriously though, I've been seeing a butt-ton of nonsense on facebook lately, which just seems to be pulling people apart, and I was wondering - is that a direct result of social media?
Without the social media thingies, our opinions would be confined to those people in our lives that actually had some semblance of importance there. Now, your next door neighbours best friends cousin can be on your social media account because you waved at her once and when she sent you a friends request you didn't want to decline in case you offended your neighbour.
This whole social media thing is an absolute minefield. You don't share enough and you have the potential to be forgotten (especially if you're a blogger/creator within the SL world), and if you use it too much you're liable to say something eventually that has the potential to piss off an entire clique, thus spinning your 'reputation' into turmoil and potentially causing you to fall off the SL grid.
I really believe that while opinions aren't -usually- harmful, the way other people respond to said opinions can be. Not everyone needs to know your feelings. Not everyone needs to agree with you, and the truth is that if they do, you're probably surrounded by a bunch of 'yes men' that will likely shit talk you behind your back anyway, so sure, give us your opinions via social media, but don't get butthurt or defensive when your opinion isn't shared by all of your followers, and remember just as you seek respect for your opinion, others will be expecting the same for theirs, regardless of the content differing.

Lemme talk to you for a minute about Magic.
Don't you start shaking your head at me, and trying to tell me it doesn't exist... you're likely to get a whole desert spoon thrown at your face!
It's a new year. I knew that it would be when I went to bed at 9pm last night, and waking up this morning it was true, but here's where the magic starts to work.
Every single day we have is a new start. I understand how easy it is to fall into the trap of feeling like you have to wait for something big to happen before you make the changes you need, but you don't need to wait for anything. You really can start today, or yesterday, or tomorrow.
The magic I'm talking about comes from inside YOU. Honestly, I know this might sound a little trite and contrary, but I don't even care. YOU have the power to make whatever changes you want to make, right now! It doesn't have to be a giant leap - if you can leap, great! I'll applaud you. But if you can only manage babysteps, and you're making an effort, I will without a doubt applaud you just as loud.
If you go to bed believing that you're a failure because that diet you wanted to start didn't happen, or because you didn't even get dressed today and it was supposed to be the year of getting your shit together, don't worry! Don't beat yourself up or deny yourself for a whole lifetime of tomorrows, but do ONE thing for yourself today, even if it's as simple as admitting you're a human. You can do it, if not today then TOMORROW.
Eyeshadow : Veechi (I'm really not sure which one, but it's a liner and it's probably for LOGO head because that works with the omega system in the Genus head)
The Secret Affair opens it's doors for the "Pennhurst Asylum" edition today at noon SL, yay!
I'm lucky enough to be a blogger for this fabulous event, and if you haven't been to any previous - you're definitely going to want to head to this one!
With each round, the event creators design a brand new set-up around the theme of the event so this time you can guarantee it's going to be a super spooky experience!
In this picture, Pickle has been the subject of many experiments, which lead her to having an unknown head attached to her neck. Luckily, her and the head (We'll call him Bob) have become fairly good friends and have meticulously planned their escape. The skeletons around the room are the experimental failures, and I like to think that the stance she's in indicates that the doctor who made her this way is in for a rough time when he opens the door next. because she's not gonna go down without a fight!
Have a great friday and be sure to stay safe, so you don't end up like Pickle!
I saw a post today on SL Facebook about how someone wanted to burn all the pink.
I GET THIS.
However, as I commented there, sometimes I just want to wear and be surrounded by all the pink things.
This is where Moss&Mink is coming into play!
So yeah, today is kinda a pinkish day. I wanted to be cute and adorable and kittenish and white and pink and all the pastels, but Moss&Mink are currently in the middle of updating most of their packs to include more than just "babygirl pink" and the pastels that you're used to. Don't believe me? Take a look at the poster for the latest furniture item "Caged".
On top of the extra textures, the Moss&Mink brand is growing up just enough to support RLV and Lockguard. Don't worry though littles all the cute things will always be available, but there will also be more adult items popping up. I can't wait, and if you're not aware of the Moss&Mink brand, you totally should be, so keep your eyes peeled and pick up the amazingly priced items whenever you can, because they will all match! *squees and runs off to play with the pretties*

All of the things :
Body Hands & Feet: -Belleza- Freya (ALL Belleza bodies have been updated to BENTO! YAY!)
We accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a whole Saturday in detention for whatever it is we did wrong. But we think you're crazy for making us write an essay telling you who we think we are. You see us as you want to see us: in the simplest terms, in the most convenient definitions.
But what we found out is that each one of us is a brain,
and an athlete,
a basket case,
a princess,
and a criminal.
Does that answer your question?
Sincerely yours,
The Breakfast Club.
Ok, so we all know this story by now, and if you don't, you really need to get on this shit and watch The Breakfast Club. I mean, it's been out for like 35 years, so you don't have any freakin' excuse and it's also on Netflix (watching it again now as I type!)
It's the quintessential 80's movie, which, if re-booted today, would still hold up in terms of story lines and characters. Perhaps those simplistic labels would be different, but the labels would still be there.
I had to think about this outfit from Miss Chelsea.
I mean, I knew it was based around the "Criminal" character, but I've never really dabbled in being that person.. and although it comes with an amazingly cute "Guilty" choker (optional), I swapped that out with the "Loner" one from Quirky purely on the basis of that is how *I* see myself.
I feel like we can all be a little of everything - and I think this entire outfit has pushed that out of me, to the point where I didn't even realize I was encompassing almost all of the labels mentioned in that letter until now.
Pickle the brain : I like words. I like creating images with words. Not particularly good at retaining information, and give me a maths problem and I'll immediately get out a calculator or take my socks off to be able to use my toes to count higher, but I'm not stupid (all the time).
Athlete : To be fair, the only thing you're going to catch me running for is more pizza, but I do wear trainers/sneakers a lot? :P
Basket Case : This one appeals to me! Hi! I'm Pickle, and I'm fucking crazy!
Princess : Dabbling in make-up, painting my nails, keeping up with fashion? Yes please! This is an INNER me though, in RL at least. SL allows me far more creativity to be girly and pretty sometimes, and I don't feel weird when I wear all the pink things (again, sometimes!)
Criminal : Although I've never done anything over-the top, I think we all done something we shouldn't have. Maybe something morally questionable, or uh, you know, something your parents wouldn't have liked *coughs*, yeah. That'll do.
It's been made for the event "The Clique", which as you probably know by now is a music & fashion event in SL based around the whole movie of The Breakfast Club. If you haven't already visited, it's well worth checking out, so hit those LM's below and get ready to part with your Lindens!
Hands : Maitreya Mesh Body - Lara (Yes you can wear your Maitreya hands! Activate SLINK FIT on the Belleza body, but be aware you WILL need omega/maitreya enabled appliers for skins & tattoos! There's also a slight clipping when wearing long sleeved Belleza fit clothing)
