The June round of The Arcade is nearly here!

Milk Motion have created an awesome decor/landscaping collection called 'road to nowhere' for the event. It's stunning, with a huge desert landscape platform complete with rocks, road and background scene, as well as motel build, desert plant life and neon signs. 

There are 2 rares - the desert land and milk motel - and a whole bunch of common items. After 25 plays of the machine you're guaranteed to win the motel office reward prize too! 

The milk motel and office include animated doors and windows, plus working lights that you can change both in colour and strength. 

A bit of guidance on land impact - the desert land platform is 114Li & the milk motel is 66Li. 

This set is 75L per play. 

The truck in this scene is part of hive's new 'summer camp' collection. It's one of the 3 rares in the set and it includes lots of poses for both singles and couples, plus I thought really complimented the 'road to nowhere' theme from milk motion! You can play the hive machine for 50L per try!

JIAN are back with some more loveable pups. The adults are rares whilst the pupplies come in companion, wandering, worn/held and static decor versions. There are 3 rares and 19 commons to collect at 50L per play.

I love this cute Dorothy-styled dress by *COCO*. There are versions for SLink and Maitreya mesh bodies, the *COCO* FashionDoll, MyDollKit Fitted doll and new Kid doll. 

This new hair-style by TUKINOWAGUMA really helped in creating my Dolly Dorothy look and I set her off following the yellow brick road made by FDD Stories! There are different types of road sections included in the pack to get the layout you need.

The Chapter Four

Stardust

Storybook has released the 'Stardust' gacha collection for January's round of The Epiphany. This colourful collection of sexy low-cut rompers and matching heel-less boots come in fitted mesh sizes designed to fit Maitreya Lara or SLink Physique. There are 8 colours of romper suit and matching boots, making 16 commons to collect. There are also 3 rare headphones of different styles that come in colours complimentary to the various commons. 
Remember, with duplicate or unwanted prizes from The Epiphany, you can rez the box and choose to trade it in for points or keep the prize. Once traded for points, you can purchase exclusive Epiphany items when you have collected enough! Make sure you don't rez a prize until you know whether you wanted to keep or swap for points. See the graphic below for how it all works ;)
You can of course still trade the prizes as normal gacha. 

Collabor88 this round has been all psychedelic and colours. Jian has created this dreamlike and futuristic decor for the event. The trees have different colour options and you can control the 'flicker' of the holograph. The multi-coloured paving comes with different shaped and sized sections to create the walkway that you need.

Meanwhile....In Toy Town

Meanwhile... in Toy Town, the elves are enjoying a few days of play and rest before getting down to the business of toys for next Christmas. Dolly is also enjoying play and can't resist the cuteness of the new kittens.

OK so when I did the pic for this post I actually had much more story in mind, but as I finished it at 5am in the morning and preferred bed to blogging at that time I didn't get anything down. So, as you can guess it kinda went out of my head lol. I'll let you finish it off yourselves ;)

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. I'd planned to do a festive post before the big day (so many awesome seasonal goodies out there at current events) but it never happened due to holidays being amazingly busy so far!

Anyway the items in this post work well for the rest of winter too! Starting with the enchanting paper trees and gingerbread house by Artisan Fantasy, which are available at We Love Roleplay. The gingerbread house is actually much smaller as standard size and would look awesome inside a cosy kitchen etc. with other pieces available as part of the set. But for Toy Town of course, I made it a lil' bigger. WLRP ends last day of the Dec and until then, all the items at the event are discounted 25-50%. There is no WLRP in Jan so make sure you get your fill of fantasy and RP goodies there in Dec!

The adorable kittens are by Jian and can be found at the Winter Gacha Event. The commons are wearable and come in lots of different versions, including the ginger tabby, brown tabby and black kittens shown. They are animated too, making them extra cute. There are 3 rare decor pieces, which include the kitten in the gift box shown below.

Also, for more gacha goodness, check out May's Soul at the Midwinter Fair until 31st Dec, which is where you'll find these cheeky little elves for 40L per play.
