Holidays on the Grid

Hey lads and lasses it's time for holiday joy on the Second Life grid. Below is a list of places with various forms of daily and weekly gifties. It's by no means complete, but it's a start.

Yes I've been bad

Yes, I've been a bad Gertie, terribly bad. I've been cavorting about SL and not really paying any attention to my shop or my blog. But all that is about to change! I've redone my entire shop. I've made room for a landmark giver to a great friend's shop for hair, and she's putting out some of my clothing, too. I'm thinking of expanding into funiture and accessories, starting with the furniture I made for my own cozy little Home Sweet Treehome, and some hair accessories for my friend's great hair. I'll be posting updates on this, complete with pictures in the next week or so, so hang tight everyone!

Greetings, Lords and Ladies! They say time flies when you are having fun and that has certainly been true in my case, as you can see from the random photos above. In the past weeks since my last post, I've discovered Avilion and learned to sword fight. Ok, I've learned to draw a sword and swing it around...fine -*grumbles about picky people*-. I've shopped the Relay for Life clothing fair. If you missed it, stop by your favorite designers and see if they have any RFL design vendors in their shops....it's almost to late, so HURRY!!

I've also put out a new design at Gertilicious. It contains two versions of the dress...one a little naughty and the other a little bit nice. Naughty version's undergarmets make a lovely lingerie set, too! -*wink*- Be sure and have a look round as there are all sorts of new things happening at the Talisman sim. You might even find yourself joining us on a rocket to the moon or defending yourself in a marine battle. -*giggles*-

Gertiliciously yours,
Gertie

I threatened to post these with no explanation, but it's just too silly to resist. Like all good stories, it starts out with "Well, we got bored....." and it ends with us in various costumes (I'm a pirate with a hook and a peg) falling out of our space pod escape capsule. Somewhere in the middle, there was a bear...and a giant floating hot dog that tried to drown me in mustard - Curse you, Oscar Meyer! - but I was saved by the duckies, so it's all good! Whew!

It was all a dream....

So much for posting every day. -*giggles*-

Fifty lashes with a wet noodle and I promise to try to do better in future. As you can see from the pictures, I've been a mite busy. Bunny and I have been playing a game we call pin-the-tail. We open up map and we pick a spot, any spot, and tp there. Then we look around for neat stuff to do. Yesterday we found some great parks full of kiddie and amusement rides. Here's Bunny and I with our little pets riding the teeter totter at one of the locations. Thanks and loads of smiles to the owners for being so kind and sharing!

Here's Bunny and I on...the BUNNIES!!! YAY! Aren't they just so cute you wanna tweak their lil ears 'n tails?



Here is another great piccie of me on the pretty ponies on the carousel, waiting for Bunny to poof over and join me. Guess it just goes to show how many great things there are to do in Second Life with good friends!

In shop/sim news...the Talisman Treasure Hunt has been postponed due to the fact Hazel...um....Hazel deleted the shop. There, I said it. -*eyeroll*- -*giggle*-

As soon as it's rebuilt, we'll be holding the treasure hunt. I've got a great little dress/lingerie combo I'll be giving out in one as one of my treasures. Not certain what the other treasures from Gertilicious will be just yet, maybe that will just be a surprise! The hunt will be announced here on my blog and in various places on the grid as well, so be sure to watch for it!

I'm Bloggin Again!

For those in my group, a great new fun freebie is going out later today.....just as soon as I can figure out how to set up a notice with attachment. Yeah, I hear ya laughing, I am, too!

For those readers not a member of my group, Gertilcious, you can either join today and look in the notices history, or drop by my shop and pick yours up.

-*smiles*-

This and That about the Grid

Well, I have gushed about my shop, Gertilicious, and all the great shops with all the great freebies on the island with it for simply ages now, so how about some other doins round the grid?

The Relay for Life on SL is set to kick off March 17th, so be sure to hop on by for a look at all the great merchandise donated by SL vendors. I'll post pictures of my donation here...just as soon as I figure out what it will be.

If anyone sees Abigail Kohime on the grid today, be sure to give her a big huggle and tell her how much she will be missed as that horrible body snatcher, RL, pulls her away from SL for three months!

Check out these incredible picture taken on my visits to Inspire Space Park, located at http://slurl.com/secondlife/Shinda/20/211/218 - I think visiting with friends (2x) was an excellent way to relax and celebrate finishing up my shop and working through the grand opening! If you stop by please be sure to toss the kind host a linden or two to thank them for the use of this gorgeous park.
