A Valentine Tragedy.

Valentine's Day is almost upon us! While the angst of unrequited teen crush love is far behind me I can still remember a couple of stinging rejections. There is no shortage of Valentine themed items in Second Life this year. Some very sweet, some to reflect the inevitable heartbreak.
I used mostly gacha to create this scene and I think it's a great way to showcase some of the absolutely outstanding products gacha events carry.

The backstory is Shae has had a crush on Brad since at least 3rd grade. She presented him with a homemade Valentine Card with options. He circled No! Shae is devastated. Nothing but ballads from now until the Ides of March to soothe the ache in her heart. Besides, Chad doesn't have a date to the dance yet and there's an outfit she has in mind to get his attention. Brad may be old news sooner than we thought.

First look from The Gacha Garden

Good grief what an awesome gacha line up in this round of The Gacha Garden! Some of my favorite stores returned and I discovered a few new favorites. I absolutely love playing gacha and this event never disappoints. The Gacha Garden has a pull prize they call a Seed of Inspiration, you receive it when you've played one machine 20 times. Must haves for collectors. I got two houses this go around for SOI prizes.
