Modular Victorian


Earlier this month, we were blogging for the SL Living Expo and due to some sketchy time management issues on our end, we were unable to share with you this phenomenal MODit building kit from The Looking Glass. What you see here is the TLG MODit – Starter COMPLETE SET and now that the event has ended it can be found at the main store so head on that way to get yours.

Finished Starter Houses –
Each set has a finished starter house that you can purchase separately or get as part of the Complete Set. Set 1 has the Victorian Estate and Set 2 has the Parisian Row Home. These are finished buildings created using only the pieces and textures from those sets. They are both large, six room houses with numerous fireplaces and were created to demonstrate all aspects of what these sets have to offer. You can use them as they are, use them as a starting point for your own structure or just as reference to see how to put together the parts.

Extras Pack –
Sold separately and included in the Complete Set. This is a collection of detail items you might wish to add to your structure. It includes gutters, shutters, fireplace setups, fire escapes, air conditioning units, TV antennas, mailboxes, planter boxes, wood stoves, solar panels and more! The fire escapes are walkable without the need for any scripting and the fires are animated with particle sparks and sounds included.

Each set contains basic textures and pieces that are in both sets as well as textures and pieces that are unique to that set alone. Both sets come with the same scripts.

The Complete Set contains all textures and pieces from both sets as well as the pieces in the Extras Pack.

Included Scripts in both sets: 13
Set 1 Total Textures: 219
Set 2 Total Textures: 225
Complete Set Total Textures: 267
Set 1 Total Pieces and Templates: 149
Set 2 Total Pieces and Templates: 112
Complete Set Total Pieces: 245

Plundered Booty


One of our favorite things about the HISA – Kahakai house is that it has a built in koi pond on the roof ! This is a completely outstanding use of space, and it offers not only a spacious entertaining space, but an excellent use of that space. It is spectacular for those that prefer their playroom dungeon to be a bit more airy too, and Dictatorshop provides the perfect toys for any pirate wishing to plunder some or someone’s booty !

As with most Dictatorshop items, they come in an assortment of configurations to suit the needs and tastes of the pluderer, as well as the always present texture change menu that make mixing and matching with other decor far easier than walking the plank !

Death Of A King


“Chess enjoys a not wholly undeserved reputation for psychic derangement. It is an endeavor associated, when not with frank madness, with oddness and isolation. I remember a psychiatrist friend visiting me at a chess club in downtown Boston once. He walked in, sat down, looked around and said, ‘Jeez, I could run a group here.” ― Charles Krauthammer

Pure Imagination


Come with me and you’ll be
In a world of pure imagination
Take a look and you’ll see
Into your imagination

We’ll begin with a spin
Traveling in the world of my creation
What we’ll see will defy
Explanation

If you want to view paradise
Simply look around and view it
Anything you want to, do it
Want to change the world?
There’s nothing to it

Outside In


It is not often that we manage to do an entire post using nothing but featured sponsor items, but when they all go together as beautifully as this, who could resist ?

It is funny how things come together innit? It was certainly a realization out of left field for Troy and I (Prin) when we got together 2 years ago today. Not only did it come out of left field, but we did not even realize we were standing in the field to get smacked by it in the first place. Beth and Kait had to have ‘the talk’ with us both and say ” DUH ! ” before we would even admit to ourselves let alone each other, that what we had, was more than we were willing to admit it was.

2 years ago today, we realized that what we were feeling was far more than butterflies fluttering around. What we had was full grown hippos in tutu’s and dancing penguins on parade. We still refer to penguins and hippos whenever our stomachs feel that familiar parade of emotion.

I wanted to take a moment and give you a bit more detail on the Cerridwens Cauldron – Vivarium Tile set that is available at Uber. I loved the overall look of these tiles as flooring under the patio, but it does make it hard for you to see them well. They pair beautifully with matching wood shades of the Green Wall Cabinet and Coral Tank Showcase, as you can see above.


There are 3 types of tiles available in the set. Swamp Tiles with swaying flora, with a menu option to turn the moving off. Light tiles and solid tiles allow you to mix and match to achieve your favorite look.

Light- Affects only the Light Panel Tile- Turns on/off the big center light panel. The panel has projected lighting if you have advanced lighting on. The light color will match the panel color.

TileGlow-ON/OFF switch. Affects the glowing strips and decorative corner lights in all panels.

Twinkles- ON/OFF switch. Affects only the swamp vivarium panel. Turns on/off the twinkles inside the panel, no advanced lighting necessary

PlantGlow- ON/OFF switch. Affects only the swamp vivarium panel. Turns on/off the glow on the plants inside the panel, no advanced lighting necessary

PlantSway-ON/OFF switch. Affects only the swamp vivarium panel. Turns on/off the gentle plant swaying in the plants

LightColor- Affects only the light panel tile. Takes you to the light color selection sub-menu, where you can choose from 10 different colors for the tile/light

GlowColor- Affects all the tiles. Takes you to the light color selection sub-menu, where you can choose from 10 different colors for the tiles glowing strips and corner decorative lights.

ScriptDel- Will delete the scripts after a warning confirmation message. Once you have deleted the script you will not be able to do any further changes to the showcase.


There are 5 wood choices, Aged Wood, Bamboo (fatpack Bonus), Teak,Walnut,Weathered Maple

That Ain’t No Goldfish


For our final highlight of the Noveny Container Home, we wanted to show how well the Zen Pond from Jian blended so nicely into one side of the garden area. The kitties also agreed that they enjoyed having some fishy friends to play with, but were not so sure once they saw the size of the koi. They were a bit bigger than the average goldfish !

Dragon Fyre


Days of Thanksgiving #14.

Today we are thankful for being raised to enjoy and appreciate books. Reading was never something that was forced upon us, except in school of course when you were required to read what the rest of the class was. We were read to every night, from as early on as we can remember, and we continued to be read to, long after we were able to read ourselves. It was part of the bedtime routine, and fostered in us, a love to read on our own.

One of our favorites was and still remains J.R.R Tolkien. The worlds those stories opened up to us, lead us to wanting to find and explore more of them. Fantasy fiction with a medieval feel, magic, dragons, elves, dwarves. So many adventures to be had, and ones we still love to this day, with the world of Elan from Michael J Sullivan, for whom our name Arysta was taken. If you have not read this outstanding series, we highly recommend it. While we do not find the time to sit and read like we used to, we do fully utilize our Audible and Libby apps for audio books, and listen rather than watch the television during the day. Movies and shows are for after Troy is done with work and we are snuggled together.

The CHEZ MOI Georgian Patio Set is available at Equal10 from November 10 – December 5 is the perfect place to curl up with a good book, or to snuggle with your favorite snuggle bug for a good movie.

Cerridwens Cauldron has released this stunning Drake Lantern for this round of Enchantment from November 12 – November 30. With the usual texture menu you know and love, allowing you to customize the look and feel of your lanterns to suit any decor.

Naturalist Vacation Resort


When we are setting up a scene, we will often times ask Troy ” this look okay to you ? “. While we will always consider his answers biased, we also value them because we know they are honest. We still have difficulty accepting that our photos are anything special, tho we are getting better at accepting that others think so. We do have our moments of being blown away by our own work at times, but it is far rarer than some may think. We have a few friends who also blog, who’s work makes us drool, who think they are nothing special but drool on ours ! So is the way of the world.

Troy’s thoughts on today’s scene was that it reminded him of a Naturalist Commune. So today I bring you, the Pruitt-Nelson Nudist Colony Resort Vacation !

The buildings, stairs, pathways and patios from the Noveny – Resort Cabin Pack have modern lines yet rustic organic vibes. They blend in so beautifully with the surrounding landscape, and make the entire scene flow together. The addition of the Noveny Outdoor Hot Tub and Fire Pit was seamless, fitting perfectly in both texture and size.

Burn Baby Burn


I have to admit, when we saw this Pyre from Short Leash for We Love Roleplay , running till October 28th, the ideas started flying through our heads about a post for it. We had so many thoughts going around and around about not just historical witch hunts, but the modern day ones as well. It saddens us that in this day and age, after all that history should have taught humanity about equality and freedom, it seems like we have taken more steps backwards than we have forward.

There is a 2006 movie called Idiocracy, which makes me wonder if the writers had gone back in time to make a movie that could be ripped right out of the present days news broadcast. I am not quite sure what makes us shake our head more, the fact that someone is afraid that a Disney movie is going to put a spell on them through their television, of that the news media who capitalized on her poor mental health.

While we are speaking of burning, this Sexy Cheryl suit from LsR at FameshedX is so hot it should come with its own fire extinguisher. It comes with the top, bottoms and arm chains. FameshedX runs until November 6th.

I can not speak about these Twinkles from Cerridwens Cauldron enough. they have quickly become a favorite of mine for so many things. In today’s photo they worked perfectly for adding some hot sparkly fire embers, but they can also be used to add some twinkly lights to your regular trees for a more festive look. You can grab these at a discounted price during the Hallow Manor event which runs until November 1st.

No one does such a wide variety of fantasy like Elicio Ember of Cerredwins Cauldron. One of my favorite stores to blog for, I never know what to expect from one release to the next. His creative imagination is a never ending roller coaster of awesome.
