StyleCard: Step Ahead Studs


Mavis McGettigan and Jewell Munro bring us the exciting line of Step Ahead footwear. The Stud Encrusted Heels are a great place to start, I really like the look of the shoes, the easy match by brand skin tone drop down menu and the HUD that allows for tweaking of things like metal color and nail polishes... one cute unexpected feature on these was the addition of tiny rhinestone to the toenails.


Visit Step Ahead for these in multiple shades, and check out the rest of the good while you are there.

+The Macabre Hunt+
Ends 6 October
Official blog: http://macabrehunt.blogspot.com/
Starting slurl: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Epic%20Sanctuary/114/133/20

Stores: 73

What are you looking for? glowing apples

List of participants with slurls & numbered: Official hints gives number, hint, & slurl

Hints: Official Hints

How long to complete the hunt? 4 hours 15 minutes (It will probably go quicker because you can look at the Official Hints and see which stores aren't out and move on to the next item!) I did this hunt alone.

Were folders labeled consistently?
Yes, and only one was boxed #35. Very well organized!

Were all items found?
No - but the official hint list helps you know which are out and which aren't. At time of hunt the following numbers were to be skipped: 8, 17, 18, 37, 39, 47, 53, & 59. 12 is to be delivered later by the owner - the apple was empty at the time I did the hunt. Keep checking the official site for info.

The apples are relatively easy to find and this hunt would be good for new players. There was only one apple near the end of the hunt that was inside an item; a good exercise in camming. Remember, there's always the list of hints with slurls to the next store if you get stumped!

More Pretty Poison


It has been a very crazy few months for me, and I have neglected my 'Toes' terribly. Time for a little catch up, and a chance to show you all the best of the latest from quite a few talented creators. First Up, more releases from Bella Donna, that shoe collaboration between Donna Flora's Squinternet Larnia and Periquita Shoes Designer, Erpla Prieto. I previously reviewed quite a few great styles from this pair, here are two more that are hard to resist.


In addition to being very pretty, the shoe HUD has now been updated to make it even more user friendly. I simply adore the huge number of nail polish options and easy to save skin tone palate. Be sure and get a closer look at this quickly growing collection of exquisite jewelry for your feet at the Bella Donna Mainstore.
