This is a post also going up on the official Bunny Hop Blog. Please go there for a Japanese translation. I also tend to be a bit wordier in the posts on this blog than I am on the official Bunny Hop gridwide hunt blog. If you’re wondering about the title to this post, it relates to Bob Dylan in the first photo and answers in the second photo!

Wondering what that egg is hanging from my belt in these two photos? Well it comes with a belt latch so you can alway have it handy. Ask the Uncanny Egg from Grimalkin Workshop a question, touch it, and it will answer you - like the 8-ball you had when you were a kid! “The answer my friend…” 

With 300+ stores in The Bunny Hop, I did not expect to want to keep ALL the prizes I found. But I have not only been delightfully surprised, but STUNNED by the extreme fantasticness (yes, I know that’s not a word, but words just escape me I’m so thrilled) of the prizes in this Second Life hunt.

So even if you rarely hunt, have given up hunts or have never hunted before, you will want to do this one. Here’s just a few of the great gifts to be found.

From K’s House Shop - W&B Sky House with the garden - 91 prims
K’s House Shop

A view in the garden of the W&B Sky House from K’s House Shop. The pose is one from the Cute Poses minipack by Mela’s.

Outfit and specially made Cutey Magic bunny egg by TOAST! The egg opens and closes, and the bunny moves, and opens and shuts its eyes! The Priscilla hair I am wearing in corn blond is by Hal*Hina, and it also comes in almond. This is a view inside the house featured above.

Still inside our Bunny Hop gift house from K’s House Shop and wearing the TOAST! outfit and Hal*Hina hair, you can get a look at the oh-s0-darling pumps by Duh! They gave us both a black and white pair. Duh! also has some shoes for the guys, but they are not shown.

It so happened I was dressed in an Indian-inspired shirt by Baiastice called Indi Yasoda. I love this clever shirt and haven’t taken it off since I got it. These photos don’t do it justice, but if you like ethnic-influenced clothing, this is a must.

So I jetted over to Bollywood to model just a few of these poses for you myself. Normally I go to Second Life Bollywood to watch a Bollywood movie that inspires me to dance around  for days, but today the movie wasn’t working. But we can still enjoy the ambiance.

And here I am pointing out some art for sale right across from the theater.

Not only is this still in the suscribomatic history, but so is the gorgeous Ice Queen gown, a fairy confection gift from the holidays, complete with wings, skin, shape, shoes and jewelry. AND so is the darling Instamatic necklace, which enables you to insert two photos. I’m not going to show these older items here as they were blogged all over at the time. Just take my word on this and get to Coquette, cause these wonderful gifts won’t be there forever. And look around while you’re there, ’cause this is a great store. The boots and jacket in other colors are also very reasonably priced.

Other stuff I’m wearing is listed below. (and I put this here mainly so I can find it in inventory again, as I’ve had the rest of the items for awhile and don’t know if they are still available.)

Pants by artilleri (not free)

Pink stud choker by B&T Atelier (not free)

Lace tank top, part of the Intriguing Big Pack outfit by Awesome Designs (not free)

Stax sought out a wasteland filled with toxic gases, and there contemplated his foolish mistake - and his destiny.

In despair, feeling he could never make amends, he suddenly leapt the rail and plunged to his death!

It was not a pretty sight as the elements took what was left  of Stax.

Well I got to giggling so much over the second photo, where he’s diving head-first into the abyss, and the offense was so clueless, that I decided I better salvage the remains. So I asked my friend Devi Moonbeam to work a bit of fae magic to bring Stax back to life. (She’s a California fairy, so you’ll have to excuse her unorthodox methods.)

As untraditional as Devi’s methods are, they are effective! And here’s Stax, good as new, dancing with me a couple days later.

All photos except the one of Devi were taken at the Court of Inspiration. The one of Devi was taken in a highly secret location!

Devi’s using the Elste Handy Dandy Emoticon Wand that everyone has been raving about on the blogs for weeks and is available for free at Rivendell.

Devi is also wearing the new group gift from Evie’s Closet. Don your group tag and tp over to pick it up. And STAY in that group, for heaven’s sake. Evie’s Closet gives some of the loveliest gifts in SL, and gives them often!

When I stopped by the Greenie Home to wish my little friends a Merry Christmas, I found some gifts under the Charlie Brown style tree! Here you see me standing on a present looking up at it. So let me show you my finds!

Hat and Greenie love particles

This hat was among the gifts, and I wish you could see it, as it’s the best Santa hat I’ve seen in SL. Also included were wearable Greenie love particles! Don’t mind my friend here, he’s still finishing up his Christmas list. (The outfit was an Advent gift from artilleri that is no longer available.)

Bee Queen costume

In one of the unmarked boxes I found this free bee queen costume, complete with hair, eyes, glowy skirt and bees that buzzed all around me. (Here I am standing in front of a different gift box.) There’s a shape in there too, but sorry, I only wear my own shapes. No matter what, I want to look like me.

The prim top came in two attachments,  left and right pecs. Now when your AO moves, that can leave you a bit exposed, as it doesn’t move with you. So I did a bit of editing and attached one to my chest point and one to my spine point. Since my own shape is bigger than the one included, I also increased the size of the prim top. I then moved the bee attachment (it was a spine attachment) which makes all the bees buzz around and moved it to my right hip. If you can edit prims at all, you know all of this only took a few minutes. If you don’t know how to edit, wear the included shape.

Little bird avatar

Next, I found the gift of a little bird avatar! Yep, that little blue bird in there is me!

Greenie slippers

Back home at my Damiani Christmas room (blogged earlier) you see me relaxing in pajamas by Damiani. Though these came with very cute little red house slippers, I have replaced them with the greenie house slippers I found as a gift under the tree at the Greenie Home.

Damiani treated us with a complete Christmas living room complete with romantic pose balls by the fire. The gift includes everything you see here, including a Christmas tree with sparkling stars that give off a fireworks effect, and, needless to say, champagne chilling in a bucket.

It’s not news that Damiani has given away some fabulous Advent gifts - and that they remain available to group members, as well as a darling Santa Girl outfit and skin in group notices. It’s not too late if you missed out, but joining fee is now $250L. And well worth it.

Ivalde outdid herself with this tartan gown today.

And the Ivalde gown came complete with this formal back pearl necklace and matching earrings. All included in today’s Advent gift.

We always love artilleri, and today the Advent gift was this charming holly necklace and earring set.

At Wintermute

Poetry flows through Wintermute. This sign says "All of our tears are frozen."

An unexpected refuge from the bitter winter

Free skating dress from Nylon Outfitters. Bunny ear muffs match the fur-cuffed skates; both from Chapeau tres Mignon.

Contemplating the meaning of life and death

This cute little skating dress is in the women’s freebies package you can find on a sign right inside the wall at Nylon Outfitters. Three different colors gloves are included, as is a red skating dress and, well, just all kinds of other freebies.

These may be my fave color combination of the Chapeau tres Mignon skates - black and silver.

Chapeau tres Mignon skates

As you can see I paired them with a fun little ensemble by Dani’s called, appropriately, Candycane. Both skates and the skating costume come in several color choices.

Dani's Candycane skating ensemble in red

Here you see me kneeling down to tie my skates when my knee went out! But fortunately not for long. My cute little Dani’s skating outfit comes with many pieces, including leg warmers and ballet flats, not shown.

Winter at Fruit Island

First stop on my tour today was Winter at Fruit Island. On my arrival, a sleigh was waiting to take me on a tour. Unfortunately, the horse was a bit near-sighted and ran into the cab you see further on, but eventually Nellie was able to continue our tour.

There are fun skating animations here for every taste. This is the trick skating animation. There are also animations for casual skating and couples.

Here you can see the corset layer i am wearing over the little top. You can also see the detail on these Chapeau tres Mignon skates even on the bottom!

One reason I didn’t bring any of the guys along on this trip is I wanted to show you how the skirt on this outfit flips out to show your bottom as you skate away! A bit of a surprise that will get their attention. Don’t worry, a thong is included.

At Jazz Sunrise

I got a little cold, so I dug deeper into the Dani’s Candycane folder and look! Nice warm pants and a lovely, snuggly sweater! I wore this over to Sunrise Jazz to look into some of the holiday shop windows.

Check out the little candycanes on the sleeve!

The hair is Sonia by ETD and the skin from Belleza’s new Bella line.
