Merry Christmas from me to you!

I wanted to wish you a very merry happy jolly Christmas!

I hope you all have a wonderful time with family and friends and that you

remember what Christmas is truly all about. To quote Charlie Brown (and the bible):

"'And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by

night. And lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them:

and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, 'Fear not: for behold, I bring unto you good

tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the City of

David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the

babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.' And suddenly there was with the angel

a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God, and saying, 'Glory to God in the highest, and on earth

peace, good will toward men.' That's what Christmas is all about, Charlie Brown." ~Linus Van Pelt

Merry Christmas!

Stray Faun

Goldenrod! *sighes* I'm trying to catch up...I promise...lol

When I thought of goldenrod I thought

of the sunlight reflecting off my faun antlers...

so thus my goldenrod outfit was born...hehe

As a faun, I love to frolic and play in the wood at Swordfish...

I love the streets of Swordfish too! They make a faun

feel like she's in a chic European town! ^.^

Swordfish is a stellar sim that is home to many shops - including Stray Pig!

Stray Pig is a high quality store with wonderfully whimsical

sculpted toys and furniture. The talented creator is yonyon Yip.

Good news is that Stray Pig is having a Christmas hunt

on the Swordfish Sim right now! :D

You have to find five pigs with santa hats - scattered around the whole sim...but there are decoys (ones with no hats) - so beware! This hunt is rather difficult but very rewarding!

The hunt items include a christmas tree, red wood sled, Santa Russian doll,

Christmas house, and my favorite item - an animated deer in bed!

Since I don't speak Japanese, I do not know when the hunt

ends. So better hurry and grab the piggies! hehe

The deer in bed comes with a pose (not shown)

where you can snuggle in bed with him! :O

The item names the deer Bambi but I think he might be

Rudolph's cousin! Why is he in bed? I think he's sick so I

tried to cheer him up with mah silly faces...hehe

I know you want to have this cozy deer to decorate your home for

the winter...So go hunt the lil Santa piggies and enjoy the Swordfish sim!

p.s. Stray Pig has four lucky boards with other cute items on them as well!

Dark Blue World

Well I've learned a valuable lesson...

I take too many pictures when I do an in-world

photo shoot so it takes me forever to narrow them

down and edit the ones I want to use.

Two weeks ago was the color BLUE

for the 52 Weeks of Color challenge and

I'm sorry I'm so behind! I will catch

up this week I hope! I actually have

two posts for the color blue because

I was inspired in two directions. The

other post will come later - I'm still

editing...ahhh so much to do! hehe

So with Mr. grumpy Winter upon us...

(and it snowed here recently!)

I was inspired with a skating

and snow-themed blue shoot.

I found a stellar place in SL called

Dark White World, designed by Vanilla Chemistry.

This creative sim definitely has a fantasy-eyed view of winter.

It is definitely reminiscent of the castle and land that is home

to Jadis, the White Witch, in Chronicles of Narnia - cold

and mystical. All that is missing are statues of frozen

creatures who have crossed her path and made her angry! XD

They have both singles and couples trick skating...free ice skates provided!

Besides skating, they have dancing and an ice castle and winter garden to explore!

I was utterly ecstatic to find white bunnies here at Dark White World!

A little secret about me...anywhere there are white bunnies - I'm there!

I'm a complete fan of Alice in Wonderland and everything related! ^.^

I even got one of the cute lil bunnies to hold my name for the shot! *wink*

When I was out in the cold blue of winter...I had to make sure I'd be warm enough!

The Reek Snowflake Blue Cozy Mittens, (Royal Blue) Winter's Coming Scarf,

and the Concrete Flowers Seppel Legwarmers kept me warm enough

so that I didn't turn blue! hehe

By the way, the skates I'm wearing are from Cattiva e Cattivo and are

truly the definition of High Fashion in the midst of winter! They are fabulous

and FREE at the Zhao sim, where they have an ice rink so you

can try them out! Free skates for men available too. Go grab 'em!

And don't forget to go explore Dark White World and shake off the winter blues! c:

Such Grey Heights

Hello dearies this is Claranna Wardell.

Curieux Star is a blog to show off the wonderful places of imagination,

creativity, and fantasy in Second Life. Each post will display a new

fantastic location I have found in my wanderings in SL.

Besides being an explorer, I'm also a fashionista and a photographer.

So this first post shows all three of my passions!

I'm participating in the 52 Weeks of Color Challenge

by Luna Jubilee. The first week (which was last week cause

I'm a little behind...teehee) was the color GRAY!

Check it! ❤

The location for the shoot was

The Umpire State Building on the Jieut Sim.

It is a gigantic replica of the Empire State Building in New York City

and was created by Boyd Doghouse. Go check it out and explore! ^.^
