Hello my fellow Shop*gasmers. Today will be no epic postings, instead I come to you for a source of inspiration, word of mouth if you will sorta deal.

I don’t know about anyone else but I have been in a real funk lately. Visiting the same stores over and over (which is NOT a bad thing by any stretch of the imagination), but I have yet to find anything to blog. Perhaps its because of the moon, the stars, or the fact that RL has been sooo busy it doesn't seem like its ever going to end, who the hell knows.

So this is what I want to know from you, our readers. Where do you shop? Is there a place that you swear by that you just-cant-stop—spending-linden-at-this-store-OMGIMGONNAGOBANKRUPT gasm over.

Leave a comment, or drop me a note card. I would love to check out some new places I haven’t seen before. So I encourage you, to let me know, so I can help get the word out there about YOUR favourite store.

Today I had some free time on my hands, so what better thing to do then do a little SHOPPING!

I am a huge fan of Lapointe & Bastchild, so I headed over to Gothic Obsession to see what was new. I came across this dress and fell in love. The details to this outfit are soooo amazing the photos I will post do not do them any sorts of justice what so ever.

Lapointe & Bastchild "Morbid Exotique" Evening Gown Set at $499L is worth ever damn penny in gold. The outfit comes with skirt, underwear and shirt layers, as well as a skirt prim attachment, and a bodice attachment, which gave me a bit of a hassle.

If you buy this outfit you must read the resizing instructions to the T!!!! MAKE A COPY, so as to not completely bork your prim. If your avatar is like mine, and is relatively big chested, you will need to individually size each piece separately as I had to. It was a bit of a pain, but I got it to fit just right and I LOVE LOVE it.

So I got all gothed up and headed over to *NO SALVATION* to take some in world shots for you all. Enjoy :) *Click pics for an enlarged image* Bax boots, black leather updated versions are worn with this outfit.

It never ceases to amaze me how those of you in SL can help. It may not seem like much, 100 linden here and there to a donation board, but every single linden donated that is being sent off to the red cross or some other agency to help with Haiti relief efforts is truly a blessing. I know that the people there desperately need your aid. We hear so much about the efforts being made in Port-Au-Prince and how things are still dire, what the media doesn’t inform us of is that, the aid is being trickled outward, slowly. There are people still living in nothing more than a few sticks with sheets tied over them to create a shade from the sun. With the hurricane season vastly approaching, time is critical in getting these people some proper shelters, basic necessity, and health care.

That being said, I wanted to show case another designer, the proceeds all being donated to the red cross for Haiti aid. Blacklace has created a beautiful light pink & satin set to reward you for your help in assisting those who have nothing remaining. For the small price of $98L you can not only own this beautiful set, but do some humanitarian good as well.

When I see such selfless displays across the grid, such good will towards people they’ve never met, it gives me hope. Hope that there are still good people in the world willing to assist their fellows in a time of crisis.

I know that the media coverage of Haiti is beating you all up, making you tired of hearing it, but I can’t stress to you all enough how important it really is to help them. Keep up the good work, 2L & thank you Blacklace for the beautiful set!
