London and I, Lizzie, wish you Happy Holidays and a wonderful 2015. We would like to thank you for being a part of LnL and for encouraging us to continue to be creative. :)
LnL is happy to announce that the Gothmas by Gaslight Holiday Shopping and Gacha Festival (GxG) is now open, two sims packed with creators of Gothic clothes, accessories, furniture!
As always, LnL has prepared for this event very carefully. The store is setup. This time, we've chosen a cozy setting to contrast with the wintry scenario outside. While visiting LnL at Cursed, enjoy the warm fire and sit down for a bit to check the creations we have selected to showcase at the event.
Adding to the outfits already in LnL's Gothic collection, we have decided to release three new outfits, unisex and Gothic, of course. From left to right in the picture above, G55-163, in black, G56-O164 in purple and G57-O171, in black and red.
One last thing, all prices have been reduced especially for the GxG. Enjoy!
The preparations for the Gothmas by Gaslight 2014 are in motion! The two sims hosting this event are being prepared by the organization team and the merchants are getting ready.
LnL has been assigned a store in the Cursed sim (adult) and both London and I, Lizzie, spent quite a bit of time yesterday decorating the place.
We have chosen three very special new releases for the Gothmas. Keep an eye on the blog for more details!
December is about to start and with it a new hunt at LnL. This time, we are happy to announce the Silent Night Hunt. The prize we have designed for you is an exquisite unisex vest outfit, just perfect for those elegant Christmas nights. The outfit brings a top (worn as a shirt; detail above), pants (mod) and gloves. It also brings a Gothic collar and a skirt tail with a bow for the female avatar and a coat bottom for the male. All attachable items are resizable. The prizes in this hunt are marked 1L. Click the red "i" by the hunt posters for an update hint. You're looking for a sculpted snowflake. Happy Hunting.
Halloween is always a fun time in Second Life! LnL has decided to join the fun with its very first instore hunt! The LnL ghost has been wandering around for a few days and left 5 (five) bones scattered throughout the store. Look for a femur (see image)! Each bone has a piece of the unisex outfit we've created for you (photo above). For freshly haunted hints you, LnL veterans, know the drill. Click the red "i", this time, the one on the LnL Hunt poster! You'll receive a notecard with the information and the hints needed to find the extreeeeeemely difficult locations where the LnL ghost hid the bones! ;) Have fun and Happy Halloween!
November is about to start and so is a new hunt! The Gobble Gobble Hunt begins November 1 and lasts till the end of the month. LnL, As always, LnL is ready a couple of days early so that our members can grab the prize before anyone else. Now, everyone wants to look fancy and elegant, right? That's why LnL prepared a gorgeous black and white unisex vest outfit as the hunt prize. This outfit includes a top (worn as a shirt) of a white vest decorated with black embroidery, a black coat and a silver turkey brooch. It also brings black pants, gloves and a Gothic collar, plus a discreet skirt tail with a bow for the female avatar and a coat bottom for the male avatar (attachable items are resizable). All prices in this hunt are marked 1L. The hunt object you're looking for is, as expected, a turkey! Click the red "i" (hint giver) by the hunt posters to receive an updated hint.

LnL added new releases to the Gothic Collection. As well as the new additions to the Main Catalog, these unisex outfits will available at the store later today, if you didn't have a chance to check them out before.
LnL took part in several events recently, with special new releases for the LnL Main Collection. They'll be available at the store later today, if you didn't have a chance to check them out before.
A Clockwork Spiral has closed its doors. It's now time to do the math. As you know, this event gathered a large number of creators who donated their creations to benefit the National Kidney Foundation.
First and foremost, a warm thank you from LnL to all who contributed by purchasing LnL's donated item. London and I thank you.
Secondly, here are the numbers! And what a success it was (screenshots from the official page of the event)!
Total raised: 733,286L
Which amounts to: $2853.32 USD. That’s roughly 275% more than last year!
Amazing! Congratulations to Axi Kurmin and her committed and tireless team! A pat on the back to all the creators who have outdone themselves with truly extraordinary items. And, above all, a big thank you to YOU, the visitors. You are a vital element in this triad! Thank you!
As the Medieval Fantasy Fair 4 draws to an end, we've walked the Fair grounds one last time. This was an amazing event that gathered a group of incredible creators of Medieval and Fantasy under the organization of an amazing team.
We hope that with these daily posts, LnL was able to share the enthusiasm and the enormous amount of work behind such an enterprise. We hope you got to know creators you hadn't heard of before, revisit the ones you already knew and their new creations and enjoy this year's theme Nordic Legends and Myths, brought to life in the impressive environment created by Eldo, Gwen and Runa. A big thank you to them!
You still have a few hours to drop by! Enjoy and see you at the Medieval Fantasy Fair 5! :)
One of the biggest pleasures of Second Life is to be able to walk around in immersive environments and feel like we are right there! The Creators of Fantasy are excellent at providing just that for us. Each Fair had a different feel to it and this time, being the theme Nordic Legends and Myths, we do have the chance to stroll around what feels like a Viking village. However, the Fair has different areas, some darker than others. So, even if Vikings are not your thing, drop by, because there's much more to see! And hurry! It ends tomorrow, September 28!
September has been a very busy month and we're not done yet! LnL has just finished creating the prize for the Heebie Jeebie Hunt (starts October 1). It's a classic, elegant red vest with a red tie. This unisex outfit includes pants (mod), a top element, gloves, a Gothic collar, a skirt tail with a bow for the ladies and a coat bottom for the gentlemen. All attachable pieces are resizable for a perfect fit. The prizes in this hunt are marked 1L. Look for a lot of eyes! A hint is provided if you click the red "i" (hint giver) by the hunt posters. Happy Hunting at LnL!
The Creators of Fantasy, the Medieval Fantasy Fair organizers, always add a touch of humor to the event. Perhaps you've walked the path downwards to the ground level of the Fair. Walking is great! However, why not go crazy and slide down to the ground? Or even shoot yourself out of a cannon?
The cannon does have several options of locations you can be taken to; it's a fun way of getting to the main areas of the Fair. Enjoy! Oh, and how's that hunt going? :)
You know that feeling when it's Christmas or your birthday and you look at all the presents you're about to unwrap? WOW! London and I, Lizzie, found a ton of gifts at the Medieval Fantasy Fair! The Fairy Hunt is very generous indeed and the gifts are amazing. I'm not even sure we found all of them (a little bird told me some merchants are still adding theirs; come back to check that)! Clothes, accessories, indoors decoration, outdoors elements, you name it, it's a world of awesomeness! Don't miss it!
It's been four days and you must be exhausted of walking the Medieval Fantasy Fair grounds! Considering that the MFF orga team designated an awesome store for LnL that had an entrance at a higher level, we've created a balcony fit for a Nordic royal where you can rest for a while! A big part of this event is having fun and smiling. :) Drop by and enjoy!
As you roam around the Medieval Fantasy Fair grounds, you'll come across this little fellow. He's a bit shy and he didn't say it in so many words, but organizing an event as big as this is veeeery expensive. Just between you and me, if you can, spare a few Linden. On his behalf, I thank you. :)
And... fairies, fairies, fairies! *nudge, nudge* Don't forget about the fairies!
The Medieval Fantasy Fair 4 is in full swing! It's great to see a lot of visitors going in and out of the stores, the gacha area and the rich landscape. There are a number of rest areas, but... there's no rest for the weary! We do have a task for you! ;)
The Fairy Hunt is the sim-wide Fair hunt. Find the small winged fairy statuettes. They are packed with goodies! LnL does have a hunt gift as well! So, look for the fairy and grab that gift! Have fun! :)
Now we can show you everything!!! A lot of visitors are roaming the Fair grounds already and we're happy to see them visit all the stores and explore about. Above you can see the interior of LnL's store at the Medieval Fantasy Fair 4. Look up! You might find something interesting!
LnL has prepared three new releases for you (picture above, from bottom left, clockwise), one in dry tones of browns and oranges, one in soft tones of lavender and one in black tones with a dragon detail. All outfits are unisex and bring the usual LnL elements, pants (mod), top and gloves, collar and coat bottom (resizable). In the photo, you can also see LnL's hunt prize (right lower corner). Yes! There's a hunt. All gifts are set to 0L, as gifts should be! You're looking for a small statuette with butterfly wings!
Tomorrow, we'll start exploring about and sharing that with you here! Drop by for a visit to LnL's store, keep an eye on the blog and have fun!
London and I set up the store at the Medieval Fantasy Fair 4 and it looks great (modesty aside!). The photo above shows the entrance (yes, it's an odd camera angle! It was one of those "artistic" moments!) and one of the special releases! Do we have news for you about that!
Did I mention the three new releases and the unisex complete outfit for the Fair hunt? I'll post pictures later today or tomorrow. Aaaand did I mention the lower prices too? ;)
The Medieval Fantasy Fair is always very special for LnL and we want to celebrate this unique event, planned and organized by very special people, with special deeds. I never get tired of saying this. There's nothing London and I value more than a stress-free event, Fair, Hunt or any other, and the Creators of Fantasy offer us exactly that. A big thank you to them.
While the orga team is working very hard to make things look awesome, everyone else is chewing their nails, looking forward to opening day! Tomorrow!
Lizzie :)
The Medieval Fantasy Fair 4 is almost here! Everyone is working feverishly to be ready. LnL is preparing three new releases plus a complete unisex outfit for the Fair hunt that is just awesome!
However, that's not what brought us here today! I visited the Fair grounds for the first time a few minutes ago and once again Eldo, Gwen and Runa have outdone themselves! The gifted team of the Creators of Fantasy (the organizers of both the Medieval Fantasy Fair and Hunt) have created an impressive and very immersive setup! I can't say more than this for now! Pshh! ;) You'll have to wait a few more days to see it, but it'll be worth the waiting! In the meantime, enjoy the photo above. It's the descending pathway from the Landing Point! More soon!

LnL is proud to present Cybele Moon's photographic talent at LnL Square Tower. Truly amazing and magical landscapes, both black and white and in color, capture our imagination and take us in a journey of dreams and beauty.
In the words of the artist:
"As Hana Hoobinoo I was rezzed in SL in 2008
and for a while I enjoyed historic role
play and creating quests and other little magical things. Around two years later I ended up taking a
long hiatus from the virtual world and have recently returned to pursue a few
more creative quests. Many thanks to
Lizzie Gudkov for her help in this.
Many of the Virtual world landscapes inspired
me and I wanted to add a touch of fantasy or dreaminess along with reality in my
photos.
I am a photographer, a teller of tales, and
a mom in real life and I work creatively
under the name of Cybele Moon. I live on the beautiful west coast of Canada
where I enjoy hiking and taking photos of the wonderful landscapes, woodland
gardens and more.
I also take much inspiration from my many
travels and from my heritage. Tales of the Tuatha are my stories of the people
of the mound.
I am somewhat of an introvert in real
life but with many varied interests,
history, paleontology and astronomy to name a few.
My quest is finding old bones and
philosopher stones, and traveling a path with heart in all worlds.
Anyone wanting any original prints can
contact me on my blog or here [in SL].
As a kid I remember spending time playing with paper airplanes. I would fold them in different shapes and changed their qualities to make them fly longer or higher . I cut little ailerons or bent their tails and had a blast by doing so, getting of course different flight paths. The observation of this aerodynamic pieces gave me a lot of joy and provided long hours of happiness and dreaming. It was then when my love for aviation was born and ever since I have always been interested in the subject , from Leonardo's designs to the landings of the space shuttles.
In this new installation " A DREAM, The wings to fly", I have tried to incorporate some characteristic things like vectors, wings, instruments or clouds, to create a piece that would capture my admiration to such fascinating matter, from the paper plane, the bird or the spitfire. Flying changed us, it brought us closer and in the future it will open the doors to our amazing universe in ways we can only dream at this point.
I would like to thank specially to the Tanalos Art & Torno Kohime foundation for giving me the chance to make this piece and to Nino Vichan in particular.
I also wish to dedicate this piece to my beloved Lizzie for all her support and inspiration. Lizzie, you are the wings that make me fly!!
And last but not least I also want to thank all of you who come to see it and enjoy it, I wish it triggers beautiful memories and make you dream and soar the skies.
