My good friend Isabella Mavendorf, who I've always known was a talented builder and great maker of sets, poses, props, furniture, and choreographer of dances and shows that move the avatars around by themselves, has been much busier than I realized lately making a whole Scarborough Square filled with stores of her products. 

The whole place is great and especially appealing to my poser junkie side.  The town square is adorable and filled with a variety of products including those mentioned plus clothes and at the end is a nice club.  She also has a dinner theater for shows she develops and directs.  I think her poses and props rival some of the best in Second Life and although this area and many of her products are new, it should become a premier area for shoppers as Izzy has been skillfully making such products for years sharing them with friends and helping with events.

Izzy's unique pose props often have a great number of pose options and many add additional props for the poses that seem to magically appear when a pose is changed.  Some of them have multiple individual poses in various props within a set. I ran around her store taking pics in the sets for this blog as you can see.  Izzy has her own great hunt going on right now in the area, as well as participating in a variety of grid wide hunts with some fantastic prizes. She has many fun items for Christmas out right now too.  I also really enjoyed some of her box pose prop sets such as the My Calendar Girl months of the year sets that I took pics in and made a little collage of to show off here and also the 7 Deadly Sins multi-pose box set.  Be sure to check out this cool area!

RFL XMas Expo and New Charmed Breedable Fashion

Visi here: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Xmas%20Expo%203/242/96/22
Today I visited the XMas Expo where there is a quaint little winter holiday village (well, actually not so little, it's huge, but it is quaint) filled with shopping as well as select Relay For Life items.

 It's a good shopping and exploring experience but one of the places I found especially interesting was the Charmed Breedable shop.  These are SHOES YOU CAN BREED to develop into designer shoes, making everyone a designer.  I was initially a bit confused so was provided the following note info. that reads in part  : "Welcome to an enchanted world of fun and fashion of your own creating, enhancing your Second Life experience.  * Happy Creating!  May all of your Fashion Designer Dreams come true! *.......You make your own shoes, as follows:
- Shoes will be delivered to you as a display/breeding image for your shoes' CBF home, along with a starter set of shoe care items.  (All items sold separately, also.)
- You breed/design your shoes in the CBF home until they have the amount of Flair, Style and Color you wish.
- When you're ready to wear a shoe, it will be removed from your closet, and further display/breeding, so that a pair of shoes can be delivered to you to wear, to give as a gift, or to sell.  To transform your design image into a wearable, use the CBF Shoe Design Bag......

...Fashionistas, now is your chance to write your own Fantasy Fairy Tale.  Breed the "Glass Slippers" and see what you get!  A voucher for a Real Life pair of Designer Shoes.  * 300-500 USD value! *  (The designer may choose to trade the Glass Slippers for Real Life Shoes, sell them or wear them as a trophy pair.) "

Ok, just WOW!

They also sell a lot of other things including animated furniture sets.  The store host was wearing a vey nice completed pair of mens dress shoes and I noted the styles varried from mens and ladies formal to casual.  Quite intersting really and it will be fun to see what we will be "breeding" or designing in the future.

Check out the expo for a good cause then be sure to see the breedable shoes.  What next?

The Master Plan-Of Home and Furniture Shopping-And Rich Old Men

Ok ladies, here's the plan, we'll get some "rich old dude" to shack up with the 3 of us girls together so we can live in this beautiful mansion.. Kathy said (Or, something like that)

I added, We'll lay in wait at the entrance and jump him when he comes shopping for a mansion, and he won't know what hit him when our 3 beautiful young avatars approach with our womanly wiles.

Then we will drug him when it's our turn to have "special time" with hims so he won't remember or know what didn't happen, and later tell him how great he was so we won't REALLY have to be with him that way. Emma suggested. (I think she said)

And so the plan progressed. Emma graciously offered to sacrifice the master bed and bedroom to myself, Kathy and the "rich old dude" and take one of the spare bedrooms, to which Kathy and I secretly bemoaned we didn't think of that first. Although Kathy and I were very pleased with the 2 spacious his and her's closets in the master bedroom but wondered where the "rich old dude" would put his things though. All three of us dreamed of laying around in the luxurious sun room (which Emma advised she thought rich people surely called it a conservatory, but then Kathy said that was only in Clue) with a good book and some tea in our spare time while "rich old dude" would surely be napping.

"Rich old dude" was not coming along to the mansion demo area fast enough so we began exploring our contact lists for possibilities. Cougar Kathy has a few very young prospects on the back burner and so I requested she ask one of them if they have a "rich old dude" grandfather they might contribute to our cause.

We really thought this was a good plan, I mean wouldn't any sane "rich old dude" be thrilled to have the 3 of us easy ladies, but I won't say free, as in the end this would be a very costly venture for any "rich old dude". This was all happening at the very cool Prefabulous homes demo area. Apparently all 3 of us ladies like to shop for homes, furnishings, clothes, well anything. And somehow we ended up at this high quality and impressive home store.

Meanwhile Emma had been macking on one of Eliza Wierwight's homes. All three of us LOVE Elia's furniture and decor and she is known for her amazing art in SL. We also checked out this place Emma eventually ended up buying as ironically it went on sale this week for a limited time.

We also checked out The Abiss beach house. I was the first one in the hot tub and we all enjoyed the many built in poses too such as in the closet : )

We visited Bellarose which also sells fine furnishing and homes. I found a house I might just make my next one.

Later I also checked out the wonderful store, The Loft,for furniture here: http://slurl.com/secondlife/The%20Loft/129/35/22 or direct link here: TheLoftHere.

Later in the evening Emma excitedly emailed me soon after we had all said goodnight because it was so late and she told me Eliza had just put her Christmas garland for sale.. we met each other over there again and snatched some up. Ironically we both had been complaining to each other how we so wanted Eliza's garland that she had all over her store but not for sale. Then wallah.. it went on sale for us.

Now you might ask yourself why three young ladies were out house and fine furniture shopping all evening instead of looking some more for Mr. Right of the mansion sort.. well.... I was on a mission to find some nice furniture for my latest adventure. It's still in the making and top secret but I will say it comes with a little winter wonderland area with tons of props and poses and fun things to play on. And I'll give a hint... it starts with "Art" and ends with "Gallery". Yup.. and it will have a little something for and from everyone I think. Soooo, I'll keep the blog posted. Meanwhile if there are any "rich old dudes" reading this... give me a call.

And about the "rich old dude" thing .. none of us are really that shallow, we were actually just joking about that .... sort of.

(And to think I blogged about trying hard to find nice homes and furniture in SL about a year ago, and now there are so many nice things--as a side note I am still in a LaGalleria home with some of their furnishing, which I love)
