I think I mentioned this in a previous post, but there is a new round of Enchantment open, and IT'S BEAUTY AND THE BEAST THEMED!!!! I've probably mentioned this before too but Beauty and the Beast is my favourite Disney Movie. It's probably the first one that I remember being taken to see at the movies by my parents when I was little... So this round of Enchantment makes me a very happy Rudh!!
Now I know that a lot of bloggers are focusing on the beauty aspect... I've seen Belle cropping up all over the place, but there is another special romantic person in this story that learns what it is to love, and he seems to be very much forgotten... That is until I remembered this awesome outfit based on the Disney Version of him... I'm talking of course about the Beast...
1313 Mogckingbird Lane chose to veer away from the uber pretty that is Belle, and represent the Beast, with their creation for this round of Enchantment. The Beastly Beauty Outfit is available as separate parts - jackets and skirts sold separately - with this blue colour matching the one that the Beast wore in the most amazing ballroom scene ever!! You can also pick up the horns - worn here - for free as the Enchantment hunt prize at the 1313 Mockingbird Lane Mainstore!
The poor Beat, scratched up by her own claws, wearing her Rose of Enchantment around her neck...
Maybe one day she will be human again, maybe?!

Today is all about an Epiphany... Not just any epiphany... THE Epiphany...
If you haven't heard, there is a new type of gacha event in town, and although it is as addictive as the various other events, this one has a bit of a twist... This time, you're able to trade in any unwanted items to earn points for special exclusives... I LOVED this idea, when I went to the event there were a few sets I HAD to have, so that meant I had plenty of things I could trade in... I was so excited, and OK I spent a fortune but the goodies were so worth it, and I have no need to worry about how to get rid of the things I don't want too YAY!!!
One of the stores that has items available at the event is a fairly new-ish store called lunaBeam... The items from this store had me re-living childhood dreams... This time I was actually able to do something about them hehe...
When I was little, and usually on a holiday with my parents, I had a dream of being a mermaid... Not just any mermaid, THE Mermaid, the one that Disney made famous lol... I wanted to be Ariel so much that sometimes when we were on holiday my sister and I would have fights about who was going to play Ariel LOL - the things you fight about when you're 7 or 8 LOL - but now, thanks to lunaBeam, I can re-live that childhood dream and play at being Ariel on the beach here in SL hehe...
These sets are brilliant, at The Epiphany, you can win bikinis, hair accessories and flippers to match the colours of ALL of Ariel's sisters, with the rare items being those to match Ariel herself. Of course, I wasn't going to take being any of the other mermaids, I HAD to be Ariel, but I needed a companion... In the gacha you can also win rubber rings that are coloured to look like Sebastian and Flounder - BUT I chose this opportunity to go and grab myself another one of the awesome models from Characteristics!!!
Anyway, as well as the awesome mermaid based items, at The Epiphany there is a special area in which designers have placed items that you can trade unwanted goods in for something awesome... So that you're aware, it's 25 points needed to trade in and you get one point per item or three points if the item is a rare!
The trade-in item from lunaBeam is brilliant... Similar in style to the mermaid items but if you choose to trade-in for this set you get an URSULA themed set. Bikini - with sea witch tentacles - hair accessory coral and shell necklace, you too can be the wicked witch of the sea... Of course as Ariel was up playing on the beach I had to let Ursula play too, and she's been accessorising with fish bones today hehe... One in her !Ohmai hair - a donation of 30% of the sale of this style goes to help raise money for Wigs for Kids - and one in her special Skellyfish Balloon - from Half-Deer that can be yours for free if you hunt at Origami!
