"To sleep, perchance to Dream;

aye, there's the rub,

For in that sleep of death,

what dreams may come,

When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,"

--William Shakespeare (Hamlet)

Hey, stalkurs! ♡

It's finally Friday, omfriggengoodness!♡

And I've got a good bit of stuff to say today, cause damn am I a chatterbox today. >< Apologies for the HUGE wall of text! But I mean, at least it's in my blog right? xD

I have been waiting all day to be off work and to get to this blog post! You have no idea! There's a few other things I've been excited about--cause it's November gamer dawgs, so if you know November, it should be FULL of fun stuff coming out!

Not that...Uhm, what I was looking forward to today was very "gamer". xD Sims 4 expansion! Lmao!

Also hyped some for the new WoW expansion--sort of. I haven't liked the last couple, but...ehhh...my groupies that I play with generally ALWAYS played Alliance and now for this expansion (mostly to convince me to play) we're FINALLY going to play Horde. So, I'm at least excited for THAT. And the character creation seems to have gotten a HUGE revamp, which is pretty awesome!

Ok, but, enough about NOT SL stuff!

Today I have for you these AMAZING products by Clover!

Clover, if I remember right, was my...second? ever sponsor...second or third...(gah, I don't remember?!) but I have always loved their stuff and was so ecstatic when they accepted me as a blogger again! The first time I blogged with them, what I loved from the get go was that Clover tried really hard to make a communal, and open space for their bloggers. They wanted feedback and talk and to make everything feel very close and seemed to care very much about their bloggers.

I'm a really shy person, a recluse even, in my SL life. I'll admit I didn't fully utilize that opportunity and I wish I had! I can't imagine the connections I could have made. I'd love more blogging friendos. <3

Ok. Sorry. Offtopic!┌( ಠ_ಠ)┘

Fast forward--anyway, I was shopping at an event and saw these AMAZINGLY creepy monster things, the 'Hauntbeing', and my first thought was: omfg, that's amazing! I wanted one so badly, buuut...my SL wallet sort of had to travel elsewhere. However! I took them as a cue that, damn it, I was going to try to blog for Clover again. Because my love for their stuff just sort of rekindled in seeing this...odd pet. xD

I'm a weirdo...

But I eventually made my way over to Clovers store and lucked out that their Blogotex was up and it was just meant to be from there!

And I don't just love Clovers stuff for its uniqueness, I love it for its quality. These items are TOP. NOTCH. I mean, they are absolutely gorgeous! And the level of item options at their store is just amazing! There's got to be SOMEthing for everyone!

Let's start with the various items here, for instance:

Hauntbeing, this bud is an animesh pet that you can rez or wear. They are able to be used as mounts (MMO like mounts, people!) and you can ride them around like a badass muthertrucker!

If you rez it it comes out at 34!Li. Which, really, isn't terribly bad for animesh. And it moves...so eerily. It's not for the faint of heart for sure!

What's more fun, like a good pet, it comes with food that you can feed it! And guess what it eats...just guess! WORMS. WORMS, my dear Staulkers! Rez them and watch it go!

Now, the best part, and I won't quote all of it because I WANT you to go and get this glorious bastard and read the Notecard that comes with it yourself--but Clover has a really fun way of explaining her products with interesting stories sometimes to give the creations life. Here's a tidbit from Hauntbeing's help NC:

"It likes to spend its time alone, but will approach and pet humans it likes, or stab people it dislikes."

Whaaaat? xD Before we move on to the next items, check out this raw shot to show the full body of Hauntbeing:

Ok! So, on to the next--I'm saving the newest for last...how ironic? :P

Next up, we have this amazing lantern! It has an on and off option for the animated flame and it emits a projector light! It's perf for any RPer or just in case you need a light on a dark sim! Just attach and go! Your avi will motion to a holding position like the one featured!

I simply love its shape!

It's a creation that seems to be a crossover make with 'Strelka'. I imagine there may be future makes from the pair, so keep an eye out! Here's another raw, closer shot:

So, last, but certainly not least! We have the FANTASTIC and elegant 'Emma' dress! Clover, I don't recall, makes too many clothes items--but when they do...gad, aren't they just grand?

It fits Laura and Legacy, including (THANK YOU, CLOVER!) Legacy Perky! It has a small HUD that allows you to change both the top or the skirt into 5! different color options--including the silver and gold featured as well as a red, black, and teal.

I get the feel of taffeta when I look at it--and that's appropriate I think, given it's coming out for the Enchantment event tomorrow.

It's such a versatile dress, though, not just something you might find in some dreamy abyss--but perfect for a girls night out, a classy date, or just when you want to feel like a modern princess!
