Halloween Nightmares 2023 – Part 4 // DRD’s Secrets of Salem

Today I come with a huge, picture-filled post to you.

First of all, before the shitstorm starts, I am not standing for anything that has to do with torture or want to glorify historical mistakes. Burning witches – innocent females, males or children – is one of the darkest and most terrifying chapters of the religious history and I could not be further away about being positive about that in any way. But it is history and we are learning from history – sometimes at least.

It is a little sneak preview about the new annual DRD hunt sim and some design cooperation of this exciting and incredible event.

The sim for DRD Salem is already open and you can explore it, while the hunt was delayed a little bit, but it seams they are on the home stretch – keep an eye on their group notices to not miss it!

DRD again built new amazing buildings, decoration and harvest decor for their event and you can get them as 15 sets single or in a mega pack with 240 (!!!) items. I have to admit it is really worth it as you can decorate your whole parcel or sim with that in an amazing way.

For the event DRD did find an amazing clothing designer, who made an amazing Puritan couple outfit matching the event theme perfectly. I am wearing the female outfit called “Salem Female” in green for my first picture, but you can have it in black, red or brown as well. You get a full outfit with shoes and the cute bonnet at the DRD mainstore – perfect to do the hunt as soon as it does go live! Maybe peek at the 718 mainstore as well… they usually do completely different designs, which I already drooled all over for a couple of times *grins* . I have a feeling there will be a blog post about 718 soon *chuckles*

The second designer DRD did collaborate with is the sweet Lady from WLS – Stabitha. Sure they had to get her on board with her amazing statues and buildings too! She made the amazing Preacher statue, which you can find in the middle of the village near the gallows, if you zoom in you can see it on the right bottom corner of the third picture, but I will have another post where I have it more in the focus soon 😉

I could just snap some impressions of the sim and the buildings, but I really recommend you take a look for yourself – Below you can find some of them maybe they tease enough so you grab the limo and fly over there 😉

Numb

TUNES

I’m tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless, lost under the surface
Don’t know what you’re expecting of me
Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
Can’t you see that you’re smothering me
Holding too tightly, afraid to lose control?
‘Cause everything that you thought I would be
Has fallen apart right in front of you
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
And every second I waste is more than I can take
And I know
I may end up failing too
But I know
You were just like me with someone disappointed in you
I’ve become so numb
I can’t feel you there
Become so tired
So much more aware
I’m becoming this
All I want to do
Is be more like me
And be less like you
I’ve become so numb
I can’t feel you there
(I’m tired of being what you want me to be)
I’ve become so numb
I can’t feel you there
(I’m tired of being what you want me to be)

Lines of Light

“Cyberspace. A consensual hallucination experienced daily by billions of legitimate operators, in every nation, by children being taught mathematical concepts… A graphic representation of data abstracted from banks of every computer in the human system. Unthinkable complexity. Lines of light ranged in the nonspace of the mind, clusters and constellations of data. Like city lights, receding…”
[-William Gibson, Neuromancer-]

I wanted to post this way earlier as it does mostly feature designs from the ACCESS Cyberfair, but as I already write about… with looking for a new job my RL is completely upside down and takes more attention that usual. I do hate it  – I am usually a person that likes to have at least something stable in my life where I can fill all the other gaps with my own schedule and activities. At the moment I do not even know what the next day will bring as I try to find a new job and run from one appointment to another – it does pay off I have to admit but it is exhausting and time consuming. But I do not want to complain about – that is life. I am just trying to explain why my posts are sometimes a little behind.  I hope you will find all the amazing items in the designers main stores by now 😉

Nevertheless I want to put your attention on some of the amazing creations I am wearing in my pictures today. Since we have the closeup right above, Please take a closer look at that fantastic neon eyebrows and eye-covers. They are made by Madame Noir and they come with a color HUD, which allows you to customize this fantastic design to all of your cyber styling! What as well we can see are parts of the incredible vest and top from A&Y. The “Raizer” top and vest as well were released at the Cyberfair and like all oof the amazing designs of A&Y they perfectly fit together and as well do have a huge HUD to color ever little face of that incredible cyber creations.

Since I slaughtered the backdrop on my first picture with PS so much, I just left it untouched in the other 2 pictures, so you can get an idea what that incredible backdrop actually looks like 😉

I hope that I can post more regularly soon – I really miss my “free time” which I usually take, to make pictures and relax from busy, stressy days.
