She blows a stray lock of platinum blonde hair from her sweaty brow as she curses under her breath while trying to unlock the doors.  That damn Rawk was supposed to WD-40 these locks last week, but hasn't done it yet!  Finally the key turns and the musty smell of grime, mold, sweat, and God only knows what else, wafts through the open doorway. She props open both doors with cinder blocks in a sad attempt to air out a very large building that has no windows, fans, or even a ventilation system.  She then tosses the keys on the bar and thoughtfully looks around, letting the feelings of nostalgia and anticipation wash over her.  It's been so long it seems since the old girl (this is what Rawk calls the pub) has seen the light of day.  Past echos of laughter, gun shots, zombie groans, silly banter, and metal tunes seem to emanate from the walls, floors and even the air of the pub. A storm brews just outside the doors and a few leaves blow in as a rumble of thunde...

It's FINALLY time for the Gacha Good Sunshine & Seashells event, yay!  This event will run from July 8-30, with over 30 merchants and more than 70 gachas.  Z.O.E. is a sponsor for this event, so make sure you stop by!  I went over and had a sneak peek yesterday, bought a couple of things, played a couple of gachas.  Shhh, don't tell. :P  Anyway, to refresh your memory, here's what I've got there, along with summer items from the store. Gacha Good Sunshine & Seashells Event Exclusives!

The Guest List Cart Sale is behind me, so I've been furiously working on the next big thing!  Coming up we have the Gacha Good Sunshine & Seashells event.  Z.O.E. is sponsoring this one, so there will be TWO gachas, plus an exclusive.  Then, the exclusive spawned a series of beachy items!  But I get ahead of myself here. I do NOT like summer.  Can't stand it.  It's hot, muggy, the kids are home and bored.  I much prefer the dreary gray cold of winter.  However, I realize I'm in the minority, so simply must slap on that sunscreen and just dive in! First off, for Super Sale Weekend, we have the Z.O.E. Spring Girly Heels.  Normally these are L$165, but they're only L$80 this weekend.  You can find the whole list of participating merchants here . New stuff this week, we have the beginning of the Fun In The Sun series of beach stuffs!  These next two items are in the shop as of this morning, and they go for L$75 each.  ...

Relay for Life is a big thing in Second Life.  I mean, it's BIG.  Massive groups of vendors, performers, builders, even models, come together in teams to raise money for this cause.  They host everything from hunts to shows, to month long expos, incorporating multiple sims, hundreds of vendors, and tens of thousands of shoppers and donators. http://relayforlifeofsecondlife.org/ Home & Garden Expo Z.O.E. Storefront Z.O.E. Gacha (Granny's Attic)   This year, Z.O.E. is getting in on the action with two different teams.  Coming soon is the Castle Home & Garden Expo, where I'll be participated on the Winterfell Sim. First up is the SL Home and Garden Expo from May 19 - June 4.  For this one, I've created a few exclusive items. This desk was a mesh that my real and and SL husband (XxRawkinxX) made in blender.  He created the mesh, I took great pains texturing it.  This one is L$125 at the expo, and all proceeds from thi...
