World Goth Fair

The World Goth Fair runs from 15 May to the end of the month. Look for the charity vendors at each booth for items whose sales benefit the Sophie Lancaster Foundation. The Grimalkin booth has three such items, all brand-new!

Couch of Cthulhu
Sultry comfort and tentacles! And mind-shattering horror!
L$100, all proceeds to benefit the Sophie Lancaster Foundation during World Goth Fair

Pile of Skulls
For when you absolutely need to be seated on a big heap of human skulls
L$100, all proceeds to benefit the Sophie Lancaster Foundation during World Goth Fair

AFK Tomb
The ultimate “Do Not Disturb” sign
L$100, all proceeds to benefit the Sophie Lancaster Foundation during World Goth Fair

This three-prim candle with flower is a mere L$10. It’s copyable, and you can light or snuff it by touching it. (This may be slightly addictive.)

All of the above are available only at the Grimalkin booth at the World Goth Fair. Teleport there now!

The March Hare Hunt

We’re taking part in the March Hare Hunt, which runs through the month of March. Our prize is a vehicle! A silly vehicle!

Suggested use: OH HELL NO SURROUNDED BY HUGE BRIGHTLY COLOURED FLOWERS NOW I HAVE A HEADACHE ALSO I AM AFK

The hunt runs from 15 December to 15 January, and you can see the list of shops, prize pics, and everything you need to know at the official blog. Ask Zack the meerkat behind the counter at Grimalkin for a hint to our bell’s location. We hope you enjoy your portable melancholia!

Best,

Summer Fun for Meeroos

Mroo Pools!
L$25

The mroos were hot, so we made them some wading pools to splash around in. They seem to enjoy it!

• 3 styles included (aquadot, citrusdot, clover)
• copy/mod
• optional swimming duck
• pool is 3 prims, duck is 2 prims

Really there’s not much more to say except that we’ve discovered that mroos can breathe through their ears when necessary.

See them rezzed and possibly in use here: Meeroos @ Grimalkin

(Mroos are diurnal, so if it’s night, the best you can hope for is finding someone sleeping in a pool.)

Also available on the marketplace! Send them as a gift!

Love & fishes,

Niki & the gang
