Twisted Hoplite

Today's items are presented by Dreaming Thicket as prizes in the Twisted Hunt. 
A hoplite (from ta hopla meaning tool or equipment) was the most common type of heavily armed foot-soldier in ancient Greece from the 7th to 4th centuries BCE, and most ordinary citizens of Greek city-states were expected to equip and make themselves available for the role when necessary. 
My friend, William, is showing the Hoplite armor. He'll tell you he's just an ordinary guy, but don't you believe it! I'm so glad we can work together on the Twisted Hunt blogs. 
It's thoughtful of the designers to provide so many good prizes for the guys. 
The Fields of Asphodel is a section in the Underworld where indifferent or ordinary souls who lived a life of neither good or evil are sent after death. I don't know how two ordinary souls are supposed to make it through this darkness, but if we can survive Twisted, we can handle anything!

[QE] @ Curves


Curves is a new sales event you'll want to check out. For your consideration, here is the [QE] Designs offering for this round. You might have to hunt a bit to find the [QE] booth. It's hidden in the NE corner of the event, but well worth the effort to find it! 
This excellently textured dress and jacket will carry you through spring and right into summer. The dress and jacket can be worn separately. 


I'm showing 3 of the color choices ranging from cream to coal available separately or in a fat pack. The dress top and skirt can be mixed or match. 
The fatpack comes with a user-friendly [QE] texture hud. Get the fatpack!  It's a great bargain and will give you almost endless color combinations.
Take a side trip to the [QE] Main Store to find the shoes. They match perfectly.

Twisted Hunt March 1-31

Long time hunters know Twisted, but in case you're new to SL hunting or you've been hiding under a rock: the HARDEST hunt in SL returns for the Spring 2019 round.
It starts out innocently enough. You're hunting for spinning gold cubes. Find the correct cube and get a prize. You start looking for cubes. Then you realize that you're noticing cubes everywhere. They grow in the bushes; they live under the bed; they're part of the architecture; they fall on your head or push you around and sometimes they mock you or call you names; they dominate your dreams... You are now officially TWISTED!

Have no illusions about this hunt. It will leave you confused, sleepless and possibly drooling in a corner. The designers and planners pride themselves on giving you a real challenge, but they also pride themselves on having some remarkable hunt prizes, so it's worth it. There are side hunts and extra goodies galore. This round's theme is "Divine" and the prizes are... divine: gods, goddesses, heavenly home accents, lots of gold sparkles ... you get the idea.
To quote from the official notice: The Twisted Hunt will be a month-long, grid-wide treasure hunt featuring some of the best, most talented, and most twisted designers on the grid. Sure, there will be plenty of fashion - but by all that is unholy, there will also be sex! and blood! and everything else that isn't polite or publicly acceptable! Don't say we didn't warn you.

DS Last Look

Designer Showcase* has really had some amazing items this month.  I just had to take one more look before it closes on the 28th! The dress from Wild has beaded trim and straps and a very flexible shawl sash. Coordinated lipstick, also from Wild, adds the perfect touch. 
I'm wearing bento rings available from Livia. 

I took my pictures in the Wonderland area of Enchanted Isle. Lots of nice scenes and most of it is for sale to use in your own lands.
