Historical records show that Bad Santa imported a load of Christmas items into OS in 2018. And in 2019, 80% of all the Christmas gifts in the world were made in China. Make of that what you will. All the Bad Santa x-mas imports are now out in the Marche Nour Deux back lot. The China imports? No clue.

Bad Santa's Gifts From X-Mas Past

UPDATE: Thank you Dee.Ferry for providing me with the Blueberry - Frappe - Bodysuits fat-pack! The vendor now includes the black and the white versions of the bodysuit, as well as the gold.

Smexy!
Be both smart and sexy in this outfit. I'll supply the beautiful outfit and you supply the brains. I mean, I don't include brains with the outfits! That would only attract decidedly not sexy zombie shoppers.

I think the "Blueberry - Frappe - Bodysuits Full - Athena Gold" is part of a fat-pack. If you have it, kindly sent it to me, or tell me where to get it. Thanks!

oh HELLO again!
I'm updating outfits from a former shop where I did not include fat-packs. When I can, fat-packs are now included. When a fat-pack is missing from my current inventory, I'll include a note. If you can, send me that fat-pack or tell me where to find it. For example, I believe the layered tops in this outfit are part of a fat-pack with other dog graphics. When I get the fat-pack, I'll add it to the vendor and update the post about it. Also, look for items in the shop with an "updated" sign. Thanks in advance for your help.

The underlying message of too many big social media sites these days is "stop talking and start buying." The community these sites have fostered are being exploited for profit. Fortunately that isn't happening in OS. In fact, in contrast to big social media, we have a place in OS where the message is "stop buying but keep up the conversation."

That place is the Oni Kiri Tribute Region. There is nothing to buy there. But there is the opportunity to hang out with people from the community of Adachi fans and ex-residents of the CopyKat Grid. They are pretty much all like Oni. Helpful. Kind. Sharing. If you feel yourself to be part of that community, here is a HG Safari blog post written by Thirza Ember about Oni, Adachi, CopyKat and the Collective you might like:

Grand Opening of the Oni Kiri Tribute Region
Sat., July 1st, 12pm OS time
At Adachi in Blackswan

The home Adachi region has been recreated on the Blackswan Grid as a memorial to Adachi and a tribute to Oni. Adachi will continue to be a place to gather, dance, and share -- and make -- new memories.

Look for a comment here sometime soon about the region opening early for a sneak preview.

Please note: This Oni Tribute and Adachi Memorial is not a shopping region. The complete Adachi regions with shopping will be sponsored by CopyKat Collective members when we find an affordable server. The Collective members' shops and regions are now hosted on other grids. Visit these by way of the CopyKat Collective TP board at those locations and at Adachi.

Boss Sly loved to have Betty the Secretary kick his pickle.

Nico, And Controversy, Returns To "oh HELLO"
The CEO, WTO, FOB, FTP, MRI, TIA, ALA, AFK, and LOL of the Outfit Assembly shop known as "oh HELLO" has returned with a new outfit. A significant piece in the new outfit is a dress named "Wednesday". Herein lies the controversy. The Committee of Nitpicking Ninnies and Nutcase Nitpickers is currently debating if that means you can only buy the outfit on Wednesday, or only wear the dress on Wednesday.

I suggest that you come to the shop any day you like, mumble to yourself, "Is it Wednesday? I think it is Wednesday," and the like. That will distract and confuse the committee. Grab the outfit and run like hell!

oh HELLO: Where we don't care if it's Wednesday

A Boating Accident Can Be A Boon.
Our lawyers advise us to not discuss what happened to the last outfit model, but we can say that the burial at sea was lovely. This new model presents the updated sailor dress outfit with new hair and footwear. Not included: water wings, shark repellent, or "I Love Willy (Because Who Doesn't?)" posters.

The C Pose.
C, as in celebration and celebrity. The pose just shouts, "Oh my! A picture of me is going to be on the front page!" Don't let it go to your head babe. There's an entire alphabet of poses -- Desirable, Elegant, Frumpy (hate it), and more. The C pose is just the flavor of the day.

Not An Outfit For Funerals
I've been told this is a fun outfit. Well yes. It's certainly not an outfit of seriousness and solemnity. Now, you can wear it to my funeral, but not to most people's. I know. I tried. Can I be written out of someone's will after they've died?

The "A Boy Named Sue" Official "Woman In Black" Outfit! Johnny Cash never looked so good!

One of the most famous stutters in Rock & Roll. What does it have to do with the outfit? Well, if you don't like the color of the jacket, you can change it. Don't like the color of the fur? You can change it. Don't like the color of the top? You can change it. Don't like the color of the jeans? You can change it. (Damn you are picky!) Don't like the color of the shoes? Take a wild guess what you can do with these shoes!

I never give the name of a person to an outfit, but, on a whim, I'm calling this one Beckie. And she is in a beige colored dress. Come say oh HELLO to Becky Beige and bring her home with you. She can live in your closet just fine.

Like It? Buy It.
It's not complicated, right? Not like, let's say, solving this riddle. "If all Wibbles are Criggles, all Borkins are Kwumblins, no Hoggles are Borkins, and all Criggles are Borkins, is it true that all Borkins are Criggles?" While you think about it, come visit oh HELLO for this outfit and more than 160 others.

Buy It For Nothing
There is a "Buy Nothing" app which people use to list free items -- kind of like here in OS. However, on Buy Nothing you can get, for example, guinea pig poop (13 gallons!), a landline phone shaped like a shoe, and a terrifyingly realistic animatronic chimpanzee head, which loudly grunts and bellows. And which has sensors so its eyes follow you as you move.

As far as I know, none of that is found in OS. However, we do have this lovely outfit that will have AV's eyes following you... The AVs may also grunt and bellow!

oh HELLO: We don't monkey around!

Unexpectedly Classy
I could say more about the outfit, but its a long and boring story. What I should mention is that the oh HELLO shops have been remodeled. The details of the remodel are just like the story about this outfit...not at all interesting. Just visit. But leave behind a trail of breadcrumbs as you wander lest you get lost. Beware of ducks...

NEW NEW NEW! Also...NEW!
New Outfits. New Shop Buildings.

I frequently post about new outfits like this one. But more often I send a notice about new outfits to the Friends of Xinashi Group -- outfits you won't see posted about here. What to do? What to do? Oh, wait! I got it! Join the group to learn about new outfits.

Also, oh HELLO got a make-over. All of the dress-based outfits have been consolidated into a new building at the south end of the shops. All of the pant-based outfits have also been consolidated and can be found in the new building at the north end. These changes allow for the skirt and short-based outfit collections to expand.

Innovation is a good thing.

A former President informed us that "There are cameras nowadays that have been developed to tell the difference between a squirrel and a bomb."

Good to know!

But isn't the difference obvious? Nuts collect bombs. Squirrels collect nuts.

Do squirrels collect nuts who collect bombs? If they did, that would be innovative.

And innovation is a good thing.

101 Damn Outfits

The term "101" derives from the late 1920s, when US universities designed a numbering system for their lessons. (Year 1, Generic topic, 1st lesson).

"Room 101" is the name for the basement torture chamber in the "Ministry of Love" (from George Orwell's 1949 dystopian novel "Nineteen Eighty-Four").

"101" can be used to mean LOL (Laugh Out Loud), simply because the numbers look like the letters.

The Disney film 101 Dalmatians is based on the 1956 novel by Dodie Smith. (Dodie!)

And at oh HELLO, 101 Damn Outfits is the number of carefully curated and assembled outfits, (with fatpacks!), that are now in the shop.

Hurry in because tomorrow we will have 102 outfits, and that number don't mean a damn thang.

We Gotta Da Shoes Ina Da Box.
The Merriam-Webster Dictionary boasts of having 151 Synonyms & Antonyms Of Imperial. To be fair, many of them are of the Imperial Peach. However, I'm wearing not a peach but an Imperial Dress. Glorious. Epic. Magnificent! And, of course, regal. It comes in gold and silver.

The outfit also has a fat-pack of 16 Ina booties. What can I say about Ina Booties except that they are ina da box.

Tattoos, Drinking, And Outfit Making
I have a friend who, unlike many these days, does not have a tattoo. He says he will never get a tattoo. The only modification of his physical appearance is his developing beer belly.

I've warned him that drinking as much as he does is not safe. He runs the risk of getting too drunk and ending up in a tattoo parlor! I would know. It happened to me.

OK, that's a lie. I mean, I might have been a little bit drunk while assembling this outfit. But really. In my mind, the outfit would not be complete without the tattoo.

Biberty Libs?
Liberty Bibs has been making the original women's overalls since 1912. And, for the last one hundred and ten years, I've been trying, without success, to say Liberty Bibs ten times fast. You try it. As for me, I'm just going to call them Biberty Libs.

Everything In The Picture But Me
A recent review commented that oh HELLO outfits include hair and accessories. Gosh. I guess I haven't mentioned that lately. So, just so you know, you get everything you see in pictures of oh HELLO outfits -- except me. Also, if any item is part of a fat pack, you get them all.

One of the hardest parts of making this outfit was deciding on the footwear. Ankle boots? Knee high boots? Thigh high boots? Well, now that decision is up to you. The outfit includes all of the Samantha boot set (which, by the way, can be hard to find).

Back to accessories. I have a relatively small number of them, and I could use more. Please, tell me the best places to shop. Thanks.

This Outfit Is For Me! ME!
And you too. But let me explain. I just had a guy at oh HELLO who asked "Are these all girlie?" Yup. They sure are. (Well, not all "girlie." Some would look good on a butch dyke).

Here's the thing. I make the outfits for myself. People told me they liked them. So, I made a shop to share them. The outfits are for me and for all with an Athena body.

As always - fat-packs are included. The crop comes with a graphic. For one of the crops I removed it and tinted the four faces. You can do the same to wear it with the other color pants.

You Can Buy This Outfit With Or Without A Drawing Of A Penis.

Yes, this sounds odd, but hear me out. A man noticed that no matter how poorly he signed his name on the credit card pad at the check-out counter, the transaction was approved. So he started experimenting with how he signed his name. Signing with a random scribble? No problem. Signing as Sideshow Bob? No problem. Signing with the outline of a penis? Problem.

The clerk looked at the penis. Looked at the card. Looked at the penis. Called the manager.

"Sir", the manager said, "we can not accept your credit card for this purchase!" When asked why, the manager said, "You drew a *penis* on the pad!" But, more importantly, the manager said, was that the drawing of the penis did not match the signature on the card.

The man then understood what he must to do next. Get a new credit card. Sign it with a drawing of a penis.

oh HELLO: All credit cards accepted.
