New Hunt Info Blog
With the disappearance and non-updating of many of the wonderful hunt info blogs for SL, I have decided to start a new one. I am unable to find any good blogs right now that supply hunt info, applications and the like. So if you have info on a hunt, please send it my way and I’ll happily add it! Also looking for assistants.

Apple Spice and Finesmith #1
Poses and jewelry…two of my, well many, weaknesses. Last week I did the Finesmith hunt and got lots and lots of goodies! I was also sent a review pack from AppleSpiceStore Resident of Apple Spice poses and I wanted to show those as well. I figured one of the best ways to show poses specifically was without lots of clothing in the way. The black skin is from Nuuna’s Skins and it works as a good background for the jewelry. Unfortunately it has the bits painted on so I couldn’t be naked as I was hoping lol. So I put on a basic swimsuit.
Pose makers are certainly getting more exposure than they used to but its still not near where it needs to be. So many bloggers don’t state what poses they use, and its part of the styling just as much as the clothing and accessories are. So the opportunity to showcase a pose designer specifically was very exciting.
Plus with beautiful designs from yula Finesmith, how can you go wrong? Enjoy the post!

Styling 22769 ~ Casual Couture
Paco Pooley, one of the co-owner and creator of 22769 ~ Casual Couture (along with Manuel Ormidale), sent me a few new releases and sales to blog this last week. Thank you Paco 😉 I realized that some are mens clothing and my avatar is female so I’ve determined to create a male avatar to help with my blogging. Or maybe I’ll find a male friend to help hmmmm…. Anyhow, in the meantime, let me begin by telling you a little about their shop.
22769 – Casual Couture carries casual street- and club-wear for men and women. Their textures are quite good and the prim work is as well, with unexpected pieces added for good detail. They participate in several hunts so you can find wonderful freebies on occasion and they are also part of The Couturier’s Loft (see a recent post on their newest release for TCL here), a special discount room for German designers. They have a blog that they state is a German domain but English rantings, hehe. You can find it here:
http://www.22769.graphic-lounge.de
And they have a flickr group as well here: http://www.flickr.com/groups/22769/
You can find their flagship store at this location in world: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Sunny%20Island/111/32/22
They are taking part in the the JAUNTY SALE 16th January – 22nd January, and you can find these two great outfits for 49L. They are made for men, but as you can see a woman can sport them too!
Jaunty Sale website: http://49lsalefordudes.wordpress.com/

The Hunt is On: The Next Big Thing
(credits at the bottom)
As promised! Here are the items that Evelyn made for her “The Next Big Thing” hunt. So, the hunt began today, and will continue until February 12th. Here is some info for you:
Welcome to The Next big Thing Hunt!
This is a gridwide hunt features some stores that you may know and ones that you may not have ever heard of! The theme of the hunt is the next big thing! Designers have been asked to create something that they think/ hope will be the next big trend in 2011! Whether it be something totally new or an old item that has been given a modern twist!
There are a couple of rules for hunters.
1. Please do not be rude or moan about the hunt, prizes or store owners in group chat. If you have an issue/ question contact Evelyn Hartshon or Ronnette Raremaster.
2. For hints please check the blog or store hint givers, if you are really stuck ask in group chat for a second hint.
3. Anyone caught cheating – passing cheat sheets or announcing the location of hunt items in local chat will be banned from the store and possibly all the other stores.
Please use the blog and spreadsheet for info on problem stores and hints.

I’m going on a treasure hunt…
I’ve been doing a few more hunts than usual lately, and today was working on The Great Mitten Hunt which ends January 21st. I was hopping around the grid, searching for the warm little red mittens (mitten to be correct…that is what the hunt object is anyway), and I came to store #17- The Epic Toy Factory. The hint (which I always use….yes I know…cheating), was provided in the hint giver by the hunt sign. I opened it up and was immediately set off on a fun little adventure. After I got the hang of it, I was having fun! Following the clues provided in the poem they gave as a hint. I had so much fun that I had to go back through afterwards and take some pictures to provide for your enjoyment!! So…here it is! The poem and the photos as I move along the trail.
By the way, you can find the fun sim here: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Epic%20Toy%20Factory/127/128/23
And the post about the outfit I am wearing as I hunt here: https://kikiwithatwist.wordpress.com/2011/01/04/styling-kis-kis/
The hunt for you at 17 will keep you on your toes…
If you find it troublesome im and tell me your woes.
For now come give it a shot, it may be a surprise,
Although our hint is long,
You wont leave without your prize….
So lets begin by finding now a mushroom of dulled red,
sit now upon its shinning surface and to the factory we must head..
sit now upon its shinning surface and to the factory we must head..
Wander in and up the stairs,
follow its walkway round..
Until you come across a mysterious champ,
he unbrelly points to the ground
Now while you here touch his brelly and he will give a gift to you…
Now touch his belly and WOOSH he will see you through
Ah here we are, in a place of wonder, magic in the air
Seek the mushroom blue this time so we can whisk you up in the air…
Cross your fingers and your toes and hope the weathers fair…
Brr it cold up here, but oh what a view….
spy the rope and slide on down…
ONce you land search around
for here for the mitten can be found….
What a fun little poem and a great hunt to go with it!!! What do you get as a prize? You must hunt to see!! Its definitely more than worth your time!
