After much thinking and planning by their friends, it was decided that the Petites must have a place of their own in our world.
A portal was created above the lake linking our worlds together. Five islands made the journey from the Petites’ world to ours before the magic that powers the portal ran out. It was meant to be recharged with the magic crystals gathering from the caverns of the Crystal Mine. Unfortunately the airship that came to pick up the supply of crystals and transport them to the portal was hit by a stray wind current that flipped it upside down spilling the magic crystals all over the Petites Kingdom.
We need you to come and help us gather up the missing magic crystals so we can refuel the portal and bring the rest of the petite islands into our world. The Petites, always a very hospitable race of creatures believe highly that work and play should go hand in hand so wish to make the task of gathering the lost crystals an enjoyable one.
You are cordially invited to come and discover the new Petite Kingdom on Saturday, September 29. Come and help us retrieve the missing crystals and stay to help us celebrate the Petites new home with music, dancing and possible surprises! The hunt will start at noon SLT with celebrations starting at 3pm SLT and going until 9pm SLT. Big or small all are welcome!

I am NOT posting the full Twisted Hunt. If you have come here for hints, multiple prize listings, or a list of shops for the Twisted Hunt September 2012, you’re in the wrong place. I’m sure the prizes are awesome, they always are.. but the Twisted Hunt is one booger of a hunt. It’s a challenge for sure – and I’m not up for it. I’m not dissing it, I’m just not up for the entire hunt. Are the prizes worth the work? Absolutely!
With that out of the way.. I’m about to show you a prize from the Twisted Hunt September 2012.
Many of the groups and news groups I am in participate in the Twisted Hunt, and I’m in these groups for a reason: I love their products. So when, say, Likka House sends out a group message saying, “Hey.. we’re in the Twisted Hunt”, my ‘Good Stuff to be Found for Free’ radar goes haywire.
The ensemble above is D-arch Angel. The main Twisted Hunt prize includes the unisex wings and outfit, though they’re billed as male and female gifts. The main prize is super easy to find.
The cape and sword are a different story, and are the prizes for the mini-hunt.
To do the mini-hunt, walk out of Likka’s House and turn right. Go to the end and pick up a HUD from the kiosk. Wear the HUD and go down into the RMK dungeons. You need to find ten cubes to fill the HUD. This is not easy, and I had to de-render damn near the entire place to find them.
Alrescha, in Baby, is shown above. This sweet group gift was given out in August, and I’m just now posting it. Although this is no longer available, join the group so that you don’t miss out in the future. You can still get Alrescha in Black and Pinky at the Likka House main Shop.

I remember buying one of my first role play dresses ever at Suki’s Silken Fashions, and I was so glad to see Destiny’s Designs in the Steam Hunt that ended recently.
The Tavern Wench’s Dress, shown above, is an updated version of an older dress. I had actually purchased the older version way back when I was a young ‘un on Second Life, so I was delighted to see this updated version.. for free! I love this style of dress, and have several versions from several different designers. This is something I would wear in RL for everyday wear. Do you think that maybe I was born in the the wrong century?
Galactic Smuggler, from Destiny’s Designs, was a Lucky Chair win for me, but the bad news is that I’m not sure it’s in the chairs anymore. The good news is that you can still buy it! It’s a wonderful outfit loaded with prim pieces, perfect for you renegade space travelers out there. Boots are not included, and are from Phoenix Designs & Firefall.
Shown below are the Wild Fae prizes form the NHSB2 Hunt. These are coordinated gifts form Destiny’s Designs, Suki’s Silken Fashions, and Ziva’s Underground Footwear: You’ll pay a total of 3L$ for all the parts of this look.. Note: The top is mesh, so you’ll need a mesh viewer. The wings are available in mesh and no mesh versions. There are three alphas included, but no combined alpha to cover the top, gloves, and feet at once.. so you’ll have to get creative if you want to wear the boots and top together as shown. I used an invisi-prim from another pair of shoes to cover my feet in this picture, and it worked just fine.
Elven Silken Gown, below, was a Lucky Board win at Suki’s Silken Fashions. Shown here in Emerald Green, it coordinates nicely with accessories and hairstyle from Tekeli-li.
Queen Breha’s Gown, shown below, was a Lucky Chair win from Destiny’s Designs. Hairstyle shown is one of the Relay for Life donation styles from Wasabi Pills, called Hawk2.

Note: You can get to Destiny’s Designs and to Ziva’s Underground Footwear form the main teleport given above. Use the nearby teleport to teleport up to Destiny’s Designs from the nearby teleport, or simply walk over to Ziva’s Underground Footwear from the landing point.
Now that Fantasy Faire 2012 has wrapped up, there is a new RFL event taking place right now. The Beacon of Hope Hunt features a whole slew of shops and designers, and each has donated a hunt item that you can pick up for a mere 1L$. The catch, of course, is that you have to find the item.. it is a hunt after all! All proceeds go to benefit relay for Life, so put on your huntin’ boots and get hunting.
Some of the awesome goodies that you’ll find in this hunt are shown below. There are 121 shops in all, so this is only a smidgen of the goods you find. If my math is correct.. 121 shops at 1L$ each = 121L$ you’ll spend on this hunt, which is not too bad for the inventory busting haul you’ll take away with you.
The BOH Hunt starts at Mystic Bay Breedables. You can start there, and do the entire hunt in order, or you can go to the Beacon of Hope Website and cherry pick which shops you want to hit. Link immediately below.

The No Strings Attached 4 Hunt started yesterday (01 May 20120), and runs through 31 May 2012.
You’ll find some wonderful gothic, dolly oriented goodies in this hunt from some of the best shops catering to the dolly crowd. Just look at some of the deliciously decadent dolly goodies below.
Nothing screams Dolly like pink and black. The Birdsong Dress, from A Netherworld, features a corseted top, and enough ruffles to feed your dolly hunger for fluff. Worn with Dollskin from Nomine, and hairstyle from Wasabi Pills, you’re the perfect little doll.

If you’re willing to explore the little traveled parts of Fantasy Faire 2012, you might like to try your hand at The Fairelands Saga. This hunt will take you to areas of the various sims where few venture to go, and you’ll be rewarded by views of the sims that were built for the sheer beauty of the build. My suggestions to complete this hunt (and it’s not a particularly difficult hunt) are as follows:
~ Look for an area where there are no shops.
~ Venture toward a part of the sim where you see few people, use your map to determine where the sim is less populated.
~ Do this hunt in “off” times if you can, to beat the lag. Early mornings (US Central Time), work well for me.
~ Prim down.
~ Use your cam instead of walking around a lot.
~ And use your clues.. the clues are dead on!
Ok, so you found a shard! Congratulations!
Now what?
Now you get to collect the prizes on that sim. Your mirror HUD will not show the final picture for that shard until you have collected at least one prize from the sim. If you need hints as to where the shops with prizes are, check here: http://fantasyfairesl.wordpress.com/the-fairelands-saga/ You have to pick up at least one prize from each sim, but what the heck, as long as your in the sim.. pick them all up. You’ll be looking for a book in the shops.
You’ll find there is something for everyone in this hunt. There are fantasy skins, fantasy avatar parts, eyes, clothing, furnishings, sky boxes, and full parcel decor. This is a lot of stuff! According to my inventory, it looks like..mm.. around 200 items.. so be prepared for an onslaught, and lots of inventory sorting afterwards.
Note: The Fantasy Fair 2012 says to click on all the books to get your final prizes: do NOT click on all the books. Clicking on one book is sufficient to get all the prizes delivered to you.
The HUD will cost you 100L$, and you can get it at the central teleport points at the sims.
Why no pictures of the prizes? Because I’m still sorting my inventory, but wanted to get this post out in plenty of time for you to do the hunt. There might be clues to some of the shards in these pictures.. you never know. ;D
Whaddya mean whathaveIbeensmoking?
What does it look like I’m smoking?
A hunt for those who love the herb or love cool stuff!

I’ve got more craziness for you today from the Crazy (I still want to stick an arse in here) Hair Hunt. Though I’ve titled this “The Wild Ones”, all hairstyles n this hunt are wild.. I just needed a catchy title.
Mumm, from ~{frou-frou}~, shown above, reminds me of sunshine, it’s so pretty. A style like this can go almost any direction you want it to go, so pick it up and have some fun!
Orchid Hair, from *OC* is so pretty, and I love the lacy butterflies on top. The fringe of bangs lets you look out coquettishly from beneath them.. which is an added plus!
You can wear Effervescent Chrysalis with almost any gown, it’s just that versatile. This is a hairstyle with all out feminine glam appeal, don’t you just love that wisp of hair that wraps around your neck to fall gracefully over one shoulder?
Look, I’ve got flower sperm on my head!
I love this style from By Snow, and I just had to show it on a black background so that you can see the particle pollen. I’ve recoloured this a bit (I love mod items!) for a little extra Shang-appeal.
Cutea Benelli, of Grim Bros fame, gives us two styles to pick up in the Crazy Hair Hunt.
Shown above is Miss Flora Fauna, with googly eyes and all.
Miss Fernia, shown below, comes with a ‘stache and eyes. You have to love the one flower covering one eye.
Rant
Don’t read past here lest ya see yourself.
I don’t normally join hunt groups, and for good reason. I’ve heard so much pissin’ n moanin’ from a few group members about how hard it is to find some of the hunt items in shops, to the point where one person called it “a rip off”.
The stylists who made these hairstyles for you worked hard on them. The shop owners and designers in this hunt have taken hours out of their real lives to create a hairstyle especially for this hunt.. a hairstyle that you are getting for free, and which may well be retired after the hunt. Let me repeat: You are getting these hairstyles for free.
No one should ever complain about a free gift.. ever, and certainly no one should ever complain about a free gift in a group chat (one in which the hunt designers might be listening no less), or about the difficulty of the hunt. This is a damned easy hunt compared to some of them, and if you don’t like a hunt, or if you have too much trouble finding a certain shop’s gift.. then skip it. The hunt is a round-robin hunt meaning that you can start and stop at any point along the way. Note cards are included in the group, and in each shop to make it easy for you to go to the next shop if one shop is too difficult for you. If you don’t like one hunt gift or another, delete it, forget it, and get on with your life.
End of rant.
Now quitcherbitchin and get out there and hunt!

Although I rarely do hunts form start to finish anymore due to real life time restrictions, there are real benefits to participating in a hunt, the biggest of which is finding out about new shops. Yes, the gifts along the way are nice, but the real perk to a hunt is finding an amazing shop that you would otherwise never have discovered.
I was hitting a few of the shops in the Steam6 Hunt when I ran across Brain Circuit. As I always say, don’t just run in, hit the hunt prize, and run out.. take the time to look around, you might be surprised by what other goodies the shop owner has set out for hunters.
The Steam6 Hunt prize from Brain Circuit includes outfits for men and women..yay! If you look around you’ll find more great outfits for men and women for 0L$ and others at a very low price.
In case you haven’t gotten into the Steam6 Hunt yet, directly above and below might be an enticement to do so: They’re the Steam6 Hunt prizes for women (above) and men (below) from Brain Circuit.
Pictures were taken at the Epic Toy Factory, a fun sim that is absolutely worth a visit. You’ll be dazzled, delighted. Join the fun and do the quest to find the Steam6 Hunt prize here.. you won’t be disappointed!
