Lucky Fortunes Contest - Runner Up

Wooo hooo! A friend of mine sent me the entry information for this contest and, after reading the requirements (they sent a pose to use in the picture and wanted a "fortune teller" look) I knew that the Romany's Kiss gown (L$1 RFL gift) from Evie's Closet and my Hazy (Burgundy) hair from Detour were going to be perfect. Well, runner-up perfect, but still....

Here's the notecard I got today:
Thanks for taking part in the "Lucky Fortunes" photo contest.
First prize in the contest was awarded to Cherie Parker. Cherie's picture will ship as the "default" texture on all copies of my new product, "Lucky Fortunes" - congratulations Cherie!

Due to the high standard of entries, I've also nominated half a dozen runners-up: Cuffman Payne, Emerald Goldflake, Moon Fairymeadow, Retribution Fall, Vanda Maertens, and VictoriaRose Daniels. All these pictures will appear in the final product as alternative "skins" (owner-selectable from an in-built menu).... so don't be surprised if you see your face in a Lucky Fortunes game whilst on your travels! (And remember to nag any lucky-fortunes-owning friends to switch their unit to display *your* face!). Cash prizes should be on their way to all runners-up shortly.

Lucky fortunes will be on sale at Lucky Designs, commencing Sunday 27th July - and early-release copies are already starting to appear in stores around SL; be sure to check them out!

Thanks again to everybody who helped out!
Shep Korvin.

HUSKY GFX - Aoife Belt

When a friend invited me to see the castle and garden in the sky that his neighbor had created, I dug through my folders and came up with nothing that fit the mood. Not wanting to look out of place sitting at a long rough hewn table next to a bubbling kettle over a huge open fire, a shopping trip was required. I started at the Eternity Medieval Celtic Market at Tir na Lor and wound up at HUSKY GFX where the deep rich brown and coppery details of the Aoife outfit caught my eye and the detail on the belt took my breath away. All I could think of was how wonderful it would look with my Orenns Barbed Wire boots (complete with tiny soft bling dagger in one boot) - plus it wasn't your standard "wench of the castle" outfit accessory.

The full outfit is comprised of 16 pieces in the base set (which includes full body tattoos, jewelry and belt along with the fabulous cloak, short skirt, pants and corset) and another 5 in the add on pack (you need this for the long skirt) - it is a terrific value for the money. The base set is L$ 750 while the add on is L$ 199 - the wear that I will get out of the pants, tats and belt (amazing detail with a mind-boggling 210 prims) alone makes it worthwhile. If you happen to have an interest in the Gorean lifestyle, the add on pack includes a free woman hood and veil (in two sizes). Both sets come in black and green as well as the brown shown here.


Dropping the long skirt for the leather pants, throwing on a different top and paring down the accessories to make the belt the focal point leaves an edgy piece of clubwear guaranteed to draw attention. A casual top will take you to the local blues club or pub for a night with friends. Add a full sleeved blouse, thigh high boots and a sword and you are ready to sail the Seven Seas (can anyone point me towards a brown leather eyepatch?). I should also mention that I switched to the Vivant Feline 1 Skin by Fleur for the dramatic eye effect and muted lips.


Discover your inner warrior at HUSKY GFX and don't forget to stop by Eternity Medieval Celtic Market for all your castle (and wench) decorating needs.
