Big Sales, and Post-Apocalypse Pics


There's an impossibly popular sale going on right now -- Truth Hair has everything half off.  Now, that might be a good deal, and they might have pretty good hair, but it's hard to comprehend how popular this sale has been.  Not only has the store sim been constantly full for every day of the sale (I think it's been at least a week), but also the next-door sim has been very crowded and sometime full, because people that can't get into the store sim can sit at the sim border and "cam in" (use camera controls to look into most of the store) and buy stuff that way.

I did this too.  ^_^  I found that I was able to purchase things from the neighboring sim, but that often my purchases would not appear in inventory until after I'd logged off and back on (or, as was usually the case, crashed and then logged back on).  Eventually I even managed to make it into the sim itself and was able to see the whole store and wander around a bit until I was satisfied that I'd bought all I needed to buy.

Some people have said that it's not really worth the hassle, you're saving something like 75 cents on 1 hair package purchase, but I spent a lot so I suppose I saved a few bucks overall.  Anyway I had fun doing it, it was kind of a challenge, and I have more new hair than I know what to do with.

Which is good, because I nearly ran out of money.  Not only by buying hair, but also Curio is having a skin sale (they are about to retire their old skin lines) so I spent 2,000 lindens there as well.

And then... since I've been in a post-apocalypse phase lately -- I went ahead and bought some more things for an updated outfit including new skin and hair.  Here's a few pictures I took at a place called Frozen Mind:

Post-Apocalypse


I saw these sims advertised on SLU and went to check them out -- very nicely designed set of post-apocalyptic sims, about five or six in all I think.  I changed into another of my old avatars, my drow "cyber badlands" avie, and wandered around taking some pictures.








Steampunk World Expo 2013

Thanks to Robert Jung on the SLU forums I went and checked out the Steampunk World Expo 2013.  It's a very beautiful Steampunk sim.  I changed into an old Chinese Steampunk costume/avatar and wandered around a bit, and took a couple of pictures.
