"The Morning Brew for Coffee & Poetry" hosted by Angeljade Writer

"The Morning Brew for Coffee & Poetry" hosted by Angeljade Writer is a great live reading event I just stumbled upon for the first time and plan on attending in the future, when I can. They have been doing it since 2010, I so wish I had found it sooner. Visit the Vineyard Patio every Sunday 10am SLT. Love her reading poems, and the openness to everyone else, who might want to read in turn.

Art Fairy Tale

I like using art galleries as places for fashion shots, because I do not want to risk any art work security by straight shots of the works, but want to share these locations to promote them.

At the very last minute

If you are like me, you do a lot of the Holiday stuff at the very last minute.

I usually end up doing something like the awesome DAD item from Christmas on 34th Street: Just going "fuck it" and leaving the lights tangled in a pile.

I will update details on where to get the stuff, when I have time, probably in several takes.

Have a lovely peaceful weekend.

Phil's Halloween Party had some early visitors.

Phil's Halloween Party
This event started at Noon casually and Zho is currently playing tunes for us. The event will go on late into the night with several dj's taking turns.

Remember, VIP~ Gestures and Sundries ( and Phil's HideOut ) HALLOWEEN HUNT 2015 is also still open, and will be for the first week of November. The link goes to my blog post about it, which has more details.

Club Amarantha has an event called "A Touch of Pink for Halloween" today at 5pm SLT.  If you add some pink to your outfit, you are good to go for the theme, the outfit does not have to be completely pink. This is a charity event for Making Strides Against Breast Cancer.

If you did not yet, make sure to pop by Whitechapel, the Halloween Maze by Badger Albatros. You get there by the left magic door at the Amarantha landing pier. I blogged it with a lot of pictures and a silly poem.

Phil's Haunted Maze

For those who like the spookier side of Halloween, VIP~ Gestures and Sundries ( and Phil's HideOut ) HALLOWEEN HUNT 2015 will be the answer! I may have inside information about one of the creators being scared of going in the maze herself! lol.
Definitely worth a visit. Or seven.

The hunt has gifts by VIP Gestures and Sundries, as well as donated ones by Cake Fox, The Random Fae and Twisted Tanks. (Auxiliary property donated by Kam Carson of BHB RENTALS).

15 free gift pumpkins are located all over the haunted maze and there is even one final bonus pumpkin, if you follow the final destination TP at the end of the maze. I found most of them, but they were pretty sneaky with the hiding places. Which is what you want from a free hunt in a cool maze.

The hunt is completely free, but you can donate, if you like, to the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer pink kiosks.

If you like taking pictures in Second Life, this is a great spot to keep the landmark of. They do new sim designs regularly and always make things look extra good. I took some pictures for you but this is just one small bit of the huge area, you will have plenty to see when you get there!

Entry to the maze is via a magic door in the back wall of the club in the round ruins. The hunt will run through the first week of November and you can go any time until then.

The club will have a big party on Saturday 31st of October, starting from Noon SL time and continuing until late at night. Dj's will take turns entertaining people. You are encouraged to invite friends with you.

You can join VIP Gestures and Sundries group for free gifts and information on happenings at the location.

Halloween Crypt

I went to the house and garden demo skybox at Cosmopolitan event and wanted to check out this build by Construct that was there. It turned out to be a pretty cool Halloween Crypt, which includes decorated (50LI) and plain (33LI) versions. You can also buy  the animated items: Skeleton with Torch,  Everlasting Love, and DJ Scratch Halloween. There is a free skull candle holder available, too. This is a birthday round of Cosmopolitan, so there were some gifts you could get if you were in the group, and a couple that you got without group.

Climb on the roof and then down the hatch.

The hallway of the crypt is great for decorating.

You can by the items or whole set off the wall.

Skeletons light your entry to the ballroom.

The noms looked a bit unsafe.

This is an authentic vintage dj.

The ballroom has enough space for a party.

The Construct stand in the main event floor.
