Gacha Gacha

I remember fun Cracker Jack prizes. Cereal surprises worth getting the box first to dig for. Not a lot of them mind you, cause then safety rules and regulations against putting toys in food got serious. I'm not that old. I did get regaled with elaborate stories I'm sure now must have been made up of some of those prizes from the "good old days" being records or rocket ships, things like that, and being totally amazed... I do remember the fun little plastic toys though and Gacha machines remind me of those fond memories.

They're kind of like those plastic bubble prize machines that stand guard in the back of grocery stores all over the place. The cheap but thrilling prizes promised to children everywhere by harried mothers just trying to get the grocery shopping done. "Just be good while I get the groceries and I'll give you a [insert correct amount here] for the machine."

Lucky for us in SL™ designers like Atargatis have some of these. For mere pocket change we too can try our luck for a lovely little prize.

Luck out I did! I am not overly fond of the color green. Let me rephrase that. I quite have a strong dislike of it. I fully expected this to be rewarded with a green gacha prize as I awaited while my 15 $L went through the machine and delivered it's surprise prize.

Joy! I got a black fin set!

Try your gacha gacha luck at Atargatis and see which prize you get. You have nine chances to win total for 15L $ a try. Eight of them, to win a fin set in red, green, yellow-green, blue, purple, pink, white or black. There is also a ninth chance to win a mer waist belt in shades of blue-violet.

Turquoise Trails and Coral Sunsets...

Well hello there my splashy friends! I'm Diver, and for those of you who don't know me, I'm an avatar, usually a selkie named Divergence Magic who likes to write and take pictures in and about the virtual world of SL™. I'll be lending my shopping, writing and picture taking skills to my good friend Cheran, here on her Atargatis Blog, helping to announce her new releases and stuff like that cause she's shy.

Okay, maybe she's just a little shy and more really super busy. She's totally into making fun things and always has a zillion projects going on simultaneously.

I'm really into buying fun things and taking lots of pictures and rambling on about the fun things and their fabulousness.

I'll probably also give some attention to older items in Atargatis as well because some of them have told me they are sad, never having gotten their own time in the limelight. We'll see... he he

I'm excited to be blogging here so without further delay, I present my first blog post of an Atargatis new release and it's yumminess that you too can have if you swim fast!

Today is Wednesday and as part of a small group of designers offering a themed special item to help you with the midweek blahs, Cheran is offering a beautiful necklace. It is made to resemble coral and turquoise entwined together and can be safely worn by merrow and land lubbers alike. It also goes extremely well with last week's release, The Sea Horse Wrangler, shown here cause I can't very well be naked wearing only a necklace riding a seahorse. Or can I?...

It sort of reminds me of some of the Native American jewelry one can find in high end souvenir shops out in Arizona or Texas with the added bonus of some bright coral mixed. Perfect for the Ropin' It Wednesday group theme.

You should get it. Just look at the loveliness of it. And cause Cheran is super awesome, it's only 50L$!

Tetra

I am happy to be able to say I am BACK! I took a bit of a break from creating and SL in general after some RL hardships that really shook everything up pretty bad. But I have been trying to get back into the creative mood lately and the most simple and common fish in an aquarium gave me inspiration. The common neon tetra, although nothing spectacular, is very beautiful. I wanted to capture that same simplistic beauty with this tail. It is available at all my shops so you are sure to find it and 249L. Hope you enjoy!
