Tableau: Haunted House, Boat Rides, Neat Stores (and more)

Tableau has a lot of great spots - I had a lot of fun exploring the island.

There is a club that is hidden inside a giant blue alligator...




...a haunted house with ghosts and floating furniture...


...some neat rides (a boat you can drive and a swan that takes you through the rise and fall of Tableau)...




...and I was wearing a really great outfit that was almost free!

Homage to Helmut Newton - Paolo Bade's show

I visited the show "Sex and the Virtual Landscape: Homage to Helmut Newton" by Paolo Bade at Avatrait Gallery. The show setup is very interesting - as you walk near walls images are projected and/or walls fade away to show how the photo was set up. There are even poseballs so you can recreate the shots yourself. If you wear the HUD you will hear audio or see text that describes more about each photo shoot.



Low cost outfit (27L) details:

Accessories
0L. Caroline's Graduated Diamond Set: Earrings, Bracelet, and Necklace (from Caroline's Jewelry). There are some other jewelry items for free here also.

ETD Sale

One of my absolute favorite stores, ETD, is having a huge sale. So big I had problems actually getting to the store because the sim was full. It took forever. Okay, only about 2 hours. But that is close enough to forever. The wait was well worth it though; to get hair as gorgeous as ETD's for as low as 25L is amazing.

Essentially - the savings are fantastic, the hair fabulous and I wish I had more Linden. You can read more about the sale particulars at the ETD blog.

SL crashed on me after I had only bought one thing, but luckily the sale is on until January 26th so I will have time to go back.

Wizard's Alley and Hogwarts Reborn

Hogwarts Reborn is a role-playing sim on the Sunset Harbor island. It is also the home of a collection of Potter related stores (Wizard's Alley).

... the school is now a frantic bustle of activity- as students and staff alike try desperately to get Hogwarts back up and running...

An almost free outfit (1L):

Tank top
Aubrey - Sea Top (by Decoy)
0L. This is the top from a very cute dress. It looks great as part of the dress or on its own. I think this was part of a group gift.

Pants
Ingenue Capri Pants (from Ingenue)
0L. This is with a couple other cute freebies on the right wall when you walk in the store.

Shoes
Elise Mary Jane heels (from Tesla)
0L. These are free towards the back of the store. There are also some free hats, too.

Endicott: Combat zone and great shops

I visited Endicott to see some of the great stores and to explore the "Combat Zone". I stepped on the glowing spot that rezzed the zombies but since I didn't have any weapons on me I didn't actually fight any of them (just walked away... they were kinda slow).

In case you are curious about the awesome freebie outfit:

Sweater: Sweater, Cropped Wrap: Black Jacket with prim sleeves (from PixelDolls) 0L. This is from "Folder O Free Stuff" and it is adorable.
Tank top: Olive Tank Top (by PopFuzz) 0L. I love this color.
Pants: Zyrraphotic Black Jeans (from Zyrraphotic at FashionAvenue) 0L. You can find it in the center of Fashion Avenue's orientation plaza.
Shoes: Valentinas Pointed Blacks (from The Little Shoe Shop) 0L. These are free on the second floor.
Socks: Tintable Barefoot Socks (from Robin Wood)0L. These freebies are great for fixing the weirdness that happens between your shoes and your pants (where it looks like your legs balloon up inside the pant legs).
Hair: Babycakes (by Tami McCoy)
Free for new residents (voucher, otherwise it is 199L).
Snow Shoes: Chapeau Tres Mignon
Nice snow shoes free with scripted animation. The store is just a couple doors down from Fashion Victim's HQ.

Behind Fashion Victim's HQ is a dumpster with free stuff. I only harvested once so I'm not sure what else is in there but I got a back dragon tattoo.

My new favorite outfit includes the AntiHero Galaxy preview and some nice freebies.

I'm not sure how I got this preview version - it might have been a group gift. It is absolutely fabulous. You can get the full outfit at PixelDolls for 300L, or as separates (tops - 200L, bottoms - 100L)

Boots
Big belted boots (from Wrong)
These were a Christmas gift under their tree.

Location
Schadenfreude at La Reina
I took these snapshots outside the shop of one of my favorite designers - Allegory Malaprop's Schadenfreude. I have tons of pictures of Mira Nadezda and I covered in treats from the Schadenfreude gift stockings at Christmas (see previous post).

Mira and Daria's Christmas Photos

It's way after the holiday now but oh well, they are good snapshots.
Daria and Mira with Schadenfreude treats









The last snapshot is after the coal fight - there was coal everywhere! The antlers, candy, toys, etc are almost all from the gift stockings that were free from Schadenfreude during the holidays. The crazy red outfit was a freebie called Zealot of Yuletide (from Demons and Angels).
