I'm going to be playing catch up with a couple of posts before I'm gone for holiday vacation. I'll be gone and without computer access for much of my trip from the 10-23 December & again from the 27 December - 4 January. So I'll not be posting for much of the Christmas season. I will however be posting a couple more entries with hopefully a brief list to inform you of a several places to check out during the season.

I've been busy 'building' and one of the things I'm still not satisfied with (hence the entry title), but willing to share is a Greek inspired abode. It's still a work in progress, but since it's empty a great studio to take pictures uninterrupted in. So, I won't be sharing the location of the shots, but lots of information about the clothes. And hopefully a couple of these places will be things you haven't seen before. ^.^

First up is an outfit that Leila passed to me with a brief note about Sin & Secrets holiday gift plans for all of you! This is the first in a series of gifts she'll be placing out. So you will want to stop by her store every couple of days. Here's part of the note she passed to me along with the outfit:

I am writing to let you know that we will be having a series of presents for xmas. This is the first one, I'll put it under the tree tonight!

But the presents stay there only for two days and they are changed every other day. They include Skins, catsuits, and other stuff dresses I will be making. So be sure to grab them while it is there...

($0 - items will change - http://slurl.com/secondlife/Nemnem/153/193/31 **check S&S blog here for previews of the outfits while I'm on vacation.)



I've shown the Sin & Secret outfit with the new wearable demo hair that is available in most of the House of Heart hairs now. As the new tipped hairs are added for purchase to each style so is a this texture variation which is completely free & wearable! While in the HoH mall I spied a couple of bags in the Blacklace & Alphamale branch location & on the stage there are 2 bags each priced at $1! Both bags contain underthings, but one bag contains 3 skins & shape in addition to the lovely lingerie. ($0/hair & $1/skins - http://slurl.com/secondlife/Tropical%20Escape/126/67/24)



TODAY IS THE LAST DAY FOR: Ok, so if you haven't done the murder mystery hunt at Urban Shopper haul your pixels there asap!!! You can pick up some great schwag whether you're a guy or girl! You'll be looking for different clues in the following participating stores :Designers: !mpossible , M&H, Pixel Dolls, Loser Designs, (nova), Belerophone, Lil's, DaneMarkz, Dani's, & SD Wears.

The other style is a new release wearable demo from HoH. ($0 (touch) http://slurl.com/secondlife/Dubya%20City/28/123/25)

With the upcoming season I know we can all use a little help around the house! So if you're hiring wait staff for your parties you don't want to spend a bundle on their uniforms. (uhm, yeah) So send them over to Wakame's Bar where there are 3 uniforms up for grabs and completely free. Also a small area next to the bar with some $1 & $0 items.
