Do you Color Challenge?

I started doing Luna Jubilee's 52 Weeks of Color Challenge on my own blog this year and I've managed to do most week's colors.  I enjoy it because I get to go through my bursting inventory and put together looks as well as enjoying seeing what other people have done.  Here's how it works: Luna publishes a color the week before and then the following week you put together a look based on the color.  You can use as much or as little of the color as you wish.  No one is going to judge you - it's all for fun.  Once you have completed your post you link it back to Luna's post for that color (she always posts hers on Sunday).  I think it is a great way for new bloggers to get started for a few reasons: You can use as much of what you already own, you don't have to be on all the feeds, you can gain exposure and you immediately become part of a larger group of enthusiastic bloggers if you are interested as there is an in-world group that is free to join.

The ever generous Pixieplumb Flanagan from Baby Monkey is offering her group members 50% off all shoes in specially designated venders that match or closely compliment the color of the week.  The group is only 10 L to join and if you activate your group tag you can pick up a whole bunch of shoes in the special color.  She has already put out next week's color, Seashell Peachwhich is a tricky one as it is almost white.  This is on top of all the group gifts she already gives and specials on new releases.  Have fun with the challenge!

Butt, Sileny

I don't want poor Sil to feel that she is the only exhibitionist so I will help her out.  I also went to check out the cart sale at The Wash and I found a few things that I think make it worth the trip.  I am also going to be frank; there were a lot of things there that I personally think are best off being retired and I would love to see more new designers there that could benefit from the exposure.  Maybe I'm an old avatar and am jaded and/or I have too much stuff.  Everything in the sale is only 10L which is really cheap but there are some brands there that I can rely on to put out quality items and not the same items I have seen at other cart sales.  That being said, I will share some I found noteworthy and they were for all styles of avatars. 

I loved some of Hell Bop's items, particularly this little gingham blouse. It includes 3 clothing layers as well as prim cuffs and collar.  I generally hit the sale because I want to see what Bliensen + MaiTai has out and the cute Secret Diaries necklace had to come home with me.  The skin is a group gift from Aura,  Helena in the group exclusive Paper tone.  The group does have a join fee but the skin is still out in this and another tone as well as member exclusives throughout the store.

I had to change out of my normal avatar mode when I saw some items from The U-Neek and Bizarre hair.  Bizarre has a the rather amazing Secret Temple style that I loved.  The hair is color change and includes several tat-layer hairbases to complement it.  If you look closely you will see a Buddah hiding in the updo.  Treebee from The U-Neek has out what she calls her "wierdest" skin for super cheap at the sale. I kinda love it with its not so subtle bondage overtones. And knowing Treebee, she can get much wierder ;). The leggings are a separate item and come in several shades.  The grey was just too perfect. 

Heartsick has out skins for both men and women.  The skin includes all kinds of options: freckles, brow/no brow, cleavage as well as a shape (not shown), alpha layers, teeth, and a bewb bouncer (hooray) so it's an amazing value.  Erotique Designs has out some cute pink lingerie, that include stockings.  I preferred to show Baby Monkey's cute Bandana Boots in pink.  They have color change options for the metals and the bandanas as well as a resizer and volume control (so you can turn them off whenever I am nearby). Bliensen + MaiTai's Bon Bon earrings in pink complete the look.
