The Giggling Elf
Gopu and I have been looking for a nice set of logs with posing animations and I came across this perfect set at Roawenwood with her landscape items. The logs are very comfy, devoid of that annoying blur and the animations fit the scene superbly. The logs are beautiful and create the perfect peaceful ambiance…. but that is NOT all!! Oh no…. there is another reason I am smiling and it is not just because of this super cute outfit from ducknipple! * grins *
The logs not only have sit animations for singles and couples, but they actually have a playable game of Tic Tac Toe! Avatars are given sticks to use to draw in the dirt and the ground changes as the game is played. This is a great addition to any sim as not only does it give visitors … or goofy elves like me…. a place to sit, but also gives them something to play. I adore this item! Adore, adore, adore!

Tank Girl
“Tank Girl” ranks relatively high on my list of favorite cult movies…. well if I actually had a list it would I should say. I originally watched the movie to see Iggy Pop and Ice-T but soon fell in love with the adorable Lori Petty who plays Rebecca/Tank Girl. I entered this image in the Hair Fair Photo Contest, Movies that Inspire Me. Who wouldn’t be inspired by a defiant girl who lives in a tank, hangs out with genetically modified supersoldiers spliced with kangaroo DNA, dates a mutant named Booga and fights to save the Earth’s water supply…. just sayin’

Wooden Luv
The Funny Puppet Fair has had me thinking of all the songs I know that have the theme of puppets. I’ve been singing away to lyrics by Agent Ribbons, Emilie Autumn, Emma Wallace…then I remembered Happy Puppet by Natalie Merchant of 10,000 Maniacs….. I’ll admit I have played it four times in a row now (much to Gopu’s dismay * smirk *)
I created my dullard strung on a wire …. she is just a happy puppet dancing on a string… her hollow head, her marble eyes, her wooden hands and her metal jaw pins… all wait in limbo for the man who knows how to move her this way……
Take a listen… the video is below.

Coin Operated Girl
Today is the opening day of the Funny Puppet Fair on the Gold Nook sim and I must say the fabulous designers have outdone themselves! From cute and quirky to downright cool the Puppet Fair is bound to have something to put a giant smile on your face! I’ve been digging around in my bag of tricks I acquired and put together this fun image that dances on the edge of surreal. Love it!
The Funny Puppet Fair runs to June 17. Designer’s booths have exclusive items and in some cases a gift, and each designer has created an exclusive item for the 10L bazaar at the event. So get your marionette strings untangled and mannequin joints well greased, there is no better time than the present to get dolled up!
More awesomeness to come……

Hope Floats
So the other day I mentioned how I was blown away by some of the animations in the items that are available at the Home & Garden Expo and having way too much fun with them… well, “Hope Floats” (how cool is that name for a Relay for Life item?!!) is the name of this little raft by PRIME that is being given away at the Home & Garden Expo Hunt and it has some of the most adorable animations!
We have since moved the raft out of the mermaid lagoon and over to the beach after clicking the “shark” animation! A giant shark circles the raft and the avatar in the pose is frightened. It is hysterical….. go get one! I promise you wont be disappointed and you can’t beat the price with a stick!

My wish…. Be my mirror, my sword and shield…..
Your Tunage: Coldplay – Viva La Vida
One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
Roman Cavalry chiors are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
(Lyrics by Coldplay – Viva la Vida)
A Drift in the Dark
I have been having way more fun than is probably normal with all the animations in the items I have acquired from the Home & Garden Expo! The creations are jam-packed with top quality animations and the couple poses are so realistic and soooo precious! This driftwood swing by Wet Cat Builds & Poses now lives at the end of our dune covered beach. One seagull is perched on the swing and a second flies around the edge. There are both couple and single poses and the swing has a nice rocking motion that is as silky smooth as the sand between my toes! I am a smitten kitten!
And for the ladies who are wondering what swimsuit I am wearing, here is an image of the two piece. I love the unique design and dare I say….. the elf like styling * smirk * Proving you don’t always have to let your jugs hang out to look super smexy! LOL
