Weekend of June 18th

The Wash Cart Sale June 15- July 6
http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/The%20Wash/171/63/24
The biannual Cart Sale offers items from some of SL's newest designers as well as old favorites. The best thing about it is that EVERYTHING is L$10!
Granted, some of it is obviously a first effort, but by and large, the quality is good.
You won't see any carts at this cart sale, but the display boards are full and it was kind of nice not to have to navigate around the carts they used to have.

Skin ~ WOW Skins Lexie DarkTan MM item

Besides the wonders for sale, look for SL13 cakes in many of the shops. Click the cake and receive a piece of cake with a gifty inside. Not all the shops offer cake, but the ones I picked up were excellent!

May 19 Darkness in the Midst of Springtime

Dark Style Fair May 14 - June 4
http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Mystic%20Aurora/120/132/38
I mentioned this in passing last week, but didn't feature it because I hadn't been able to get in. The crowds have vanished and you can have a delightfully dark time wandering around. Anything black, Gothic, or weird is likely to be in the stores. One really nice feature is that it has a lot of items for men, with convenient "Men stuff " signs to make it easier for the guys to find them.

Hair ~ Olive Tiffany Dark Fades
Skin ~ Pink Fuel Renee Crystal
Shirt ~ The Little Bat Horror Tank w hud *
Necklace ~ Random Matter Shoya choker w hud *

On the Boardwalk Gacha event
http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Nuvoletta/31/217/32

Hair ~ Doe Junko Pigtails - gacha item - not at this event

Corrupted Visions from +Aii+

Now available @ the Fantasy Gacha Carnival http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Acerbus%20Silva/53/86/52
Corrupted Visions from +Aii+. With a huge variety of blindfolds and mesh eyes, this is a fun gacha to play and an easy way to punch up a fantasy look.

You can easily edit the iris to any color you want. When you first use them, the eyes appear semi-translucent and it's hard to see how awesome they really are because the features don't pop unless you edit the iris color. This feature will allow you to perfectly match your eyes to the color of your skin or clothing and really make a unique statement!

Hair ~ [fd] fashionably dead Lady Amalthea
Mask ~ +Aii+ Corrupted Visions  Daku Oni blindfold RARE
Eyes ~ Aii Corrupted Visions Silver Contract COMMON
Skin ~ [NM] Nephilim Aurora Sorrow
Outfit ~ LouLou&Co  Catania

Events for the week of May 6

We <3 Roleplay Ends May 31
http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Riverhunt/130/135/24
The anniversary round opened this week and nearly every shop has a free gift just for visiting.
No membership is required for the free items.
Some of the gifts are extremely nice!

Hair ~ CaTwA TNT-V2 mixed with dDx- Phoenix
Dress ~ Lorien Lady Notkrosis
Couch ~ Zerkkalo  Free pillow available @ We <3 Roleplay

After making a few purchases and picking up a few more gifts, I had changed my look somewhat... partly because I got booted from the sim for having too high a rendering score with the hair in the upper picture. Nice that I found a pretty low render style at the event! [Yeah, I know... just an excuse, but...!]

Hair ~ Tukinowaguma Helga
Earrings ~ Meva Estelle a gift @ We <3 Roleplay




The Garage Fair May 6-22
http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Avalon%20Shores/105/174/31

Genre-La Belle Époque Ends May 12
http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Analog%20Dog%20Hair/27/208/3120
If you have ever dreamed of vising Paris in the early part of the 20th century, don't miss this event.
Find an elegance in the clothing with a nod to beginning women’s rights, absinthe, gay Paris, motor vehicles, and the Titanic! Everything at the event is less than L$100.
Hair ~ Elikatira Sophia
Dress ~ Adoness Lilly Lavinia includes the accessories available @  La Bell Epoque event
Shoes ~ Bowtique Sweetheart
