The Darkness Inside

Hiya everyone! Tonight I am exploring a dollarbie gridwide hunt called The Darkness Inside Hunt 2, organized by Dirty Little Secrets, so I'm sure you can imagine that the prizes are deliciously edgy. My style in SL tends to change like a mood ring from day to day, so these appeal to one of my many sides. If your wardrobe tends to lean towards dark colors with a touch of mystery, this is the hunt for you :) There are $1L paths for men and women, and a $25L path too, so be sure to check out that website and look at the prize previews while you're there. The prizes are hiding inside black candles with pinkish purple flames (my windlight settings might have affected that color, you may see as red or even something else) and there are hint givers at most locations as well as on the website. The candles hold special rewards for those who find them, as you are about to see. All of tonight's featured prizes are from the $1L female path.

This sexy dress is our prize from @AdReNaLiZeD@ called Ava Darkness Inside. She comes in sizes for Maitreya, Slink, TMP, and a fitmesh version for classic avatars, with an intriguing graphic beneath a unique neckline. The shape really accentuates our curves, doesn't it?

This prize really captured my imagination, with lots of lace and ruffles on a leather strapless mini dress. It is from SASSITUDE and called Leather & Lace Baby, in sizes for Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP bodies. The details are remarkable, every seam is immaculate and those pleated bows on the bodice are lovely.

For this look, I combined two prizes that work very nicely together. The top is from OMG! Inc. called Cindy Top Solid. In addition to the shirt itself in standard mesh sizes, you will receive a very handy HUD that lets you choose from 7 colors for the top and 12 choices for the belt. There are various combinations of buckle colors and belt colors, so be sure to click a few to see what you like. As for the pants, those are our prize from Waffles called *WW* Darkness Leggings, in standard mesh sizes plus Belleza Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP versions. They are cut very low in the front but come up a little higher in the rear, and will add that special something to any shirt you decide to wear them with.

If you need some elegant darkness in your second life, head to Fukin Cute and find this candle so you can claim their Maleficent's Dance gown. It comes in fitmesh standard sizes plus Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink versions, and has that thigh high slit to catch someone's eye as well as that crisscross back that I am so fond of. 

My last look of the evening is a prize that is rather different from the others, not quite on the dark side ;) It is the Ciara's Creations - Life's a Beach Blue, and the candles holds sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine. The top reads "Life is good at the Beach" and the skirt says Surf's UP on either side of the two surfboards. I think of it as a pleasant reminder that summer is coming (twist on Game of Thrones?) and maybe for someone who likes things dark, being a beach bum would be a dirty little secret. That denim trim is terrific, and I'm thinking of layering shorts or capris beneath for evenings that are still on the cooler side.

My hockey team may have played the worst game I've ever seen tonight, and that's saying something because I used to get dragged to amateur games too. This was an NHL game, it just didn't look like one...so I am bummed but I will cheer up eventually. Chatting with Xan always helps, and visiting SL to decide what the next blog post will hold is an adventure. I hope you're all having a great day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
