Pop Music & Video Games

It's always hard to get back to blogging when I've been away because I spend so much time catching up, but My Attic's particularly great February round (ends Feb 28) with its Pop Music theme brought the necessary inspiration to do a little playlist. The collection has awesome stuff for women as well as the very cool "MPop" pose prop from W.Winx that is texture change, completely moddable and lots of fun for doing photos. It paired up well with the Arcade video game piece, new from End of Daze.

The male avi features an excellent new skin from Essences - nice to see them concentrating on the male side of things again - available in numerous tones and with various facial hair options. Hair is by Mr  C: designed for "lovers" it was released for Valentines and can be worn by women. Clothing is from Mens Dept and I especially love the cool leather look from Razorblade Jacket with texture change highlights on sale for 150l until Mar 1.

The female stuff shown includes items from various sale rooms (all of which will end soon - the Fi* Friday leather shorts in a few hours - so don't miss out) and two hunt gifts with very different looks that both come with appliers: paper.doll's dress from the I Love NY Hunt (14l, gifts shown here) and American Bazaar's top for HFYIS.

Pocket Billiards

The latest Mens Dept round has been underway for a while and it features another nice skybox from [Deco] that is great for entertaining with plenty of room for a new release pool table from End of Daze. And since billiards are best played à deux, it seemed like some charming company was in order. Of course, after breaking in the table, the evening progressed to other games...

Note that the female fashions are partly from the Golden Apple Hunt, which is a nice little hunt on the NYC sim through December 24 with 12 pretty amazing gifts at a small price of 12l each (see pics of all gifts on the hunt blog). Also both the Essences female skin from TDR Fusion and the shape from Anna Shapes at Designer Circle are in sales ending some time later today, but Essences has just released a new group gift skin and Anna Shapes has a similar shape gift in the Amarelo Manga Christmas hunt (go into each store and find the Santa hats).

I've focused more on the female side of things here, but I'll have a bit more Mens Dept fashion and some general views of the build in a later post.

Cinemateca

Here are a few scenes inspired by the Cinema event that runs through Oct. 31. If you haven't been you must go check it out. The event takes place in a cool build that replicates a giant Multiplex cinema with movie stills and clips playing in various themed areas (such as Sci Fi, Adult films, Action/Adventure, etc). It is really quite fun to walk around there and there is some great shopping  (and the occasional freebie/cheapie as well), featuring many of SL's best creators.
