#33 - Let's Go To The Beach | With Josiah - Featuring the Arcade, JLB Apparel, JLB-Aision

A lovely summer day spent with Josiah (left). Visit his blog at josiahleebaxter.com

It's summer time happiness and what better way to spend the day by heading down to the beach? Of course, before heading there there's no harm in getting some Arcade goodies to make your day a sure hit ;)

Josiah is holding this marvelous rare surfboard from Tabloid's gacha at The Arcade. Did a shark just take a bite out of his surfboard? Surely that's a good reason to head back into the waters again! I look forward to be easy shark bait with my duck swim ring from Sway's that I got from The Arcade, but before I die I would reflect on a good last meal of ice cream from ur.favorite.one (yes, from The Arcade as well). I would certainly miss our beautiful beach home (rare) from Alouette though.

I am also excited to announce that I am currently working on clothing design under the brand JLB-Aision (store opening really soon!). Meanwhile, I am collaborating with Josiah from JLB Apparel to release Zenshi exclusive summer clothing at his Zenshi store. I am wearing an open front shirt that features a texture-changing hud providing 6 different color options. Complimentary shorts, like the one worn by me here, are available as well, also featuring a texture-changing hud :)

Meanwhile JLB Apparel has also released various summer clothes, including this adorable layered t-shirt and shorts that Josiah is wearing They also feature texture-changing huds, with the shirt having 4 color options and the shorts having 6. Check out the store to see even more designs of the shirts and shorts!

#32 - Family Night | With Josiahlee - Featuring The Arcade

Photo by Josiahlee, visit his blog at josiahleebaxter.com

After a long day of good fun, sometimes it is just awesome to lay back and relax in the arms of a loved one :)

This is my second post about The Arcade and this time my partner Josiah took over the direction of this image by setting up and shooting this scene. I contributed greatly as well, by laying down and being comfortable. Haha alright, I did rez a few cute things that I adore from The Arcade, such as the cat clock from Yummy (which, by the way, is my second cat clock) and the ridiculously cute (and evil) corgi from Silentsparrow. Why is it evil? Firstly, we all know that all cute things are evil. Secondly I was bewitched enough to try my hand at their gacha machine TWENTY FIVE times trying to get one with a bow tie, which makes it even more cute (and evil). Did I get one in the end? No. See what I mean about evil? Now go visit The Arcade today and get some cute and evil stuff.

#31 - Shine Bright - Featuring The Arcade

What can I say? The Arcade is here. I freaking love The Arcade. It always make me so wet (well, I'm in water in this picture after all). In my opinion it is the most fun event in SL, as people flock to Gacha machines and mortgage their houses for money for a chance to win cute things. Who cares about living in the streets when you have this extremely adorable orange panda floatie? It is all worth it. Check out The Arcade today or if you can't because the sim is full (which happens 99.99% throughout the day), you can visit their shopping guide to ogle and drool at all the products available and finalize your mortgage details.
