Forgett Me Nott is an adorable little faery with special powers. She has a dark side that she is able to turn on and off at will. With her large eyes and puckered lips she will win your heart and a place in your runtime folder.

Halloween Celebration Party Header Image Part 3:
This week's header by A1HostCoMark, is part 3 - a continuation from the last two week's header image which can be found here and here.

Again the header image was rendered in Vue 5 Infinite. Featuring Gendragon's Hallow House for Poser, Alexa 2 appears 3 times as the Witch, the Ballerina, and as Senya's Beautiful, Bald Date. She is wearing a combination of FKDesigns Dčja Vu hair, FK Designs Ballerina Outfit, FK Designs V3 Witch Hat, GothX boots, and the bouquet head band from the Candy Kiss package. You can also see Alexa in Nerd3D's Jessica Dress, and Nerd's Frost A Dress as well.

PusGhetty's Sami and his female counterpart, Fanni are dancing up a storm. Fanni is wearing FKDesigns New Kyra hair and Sami is donning one of his many facial and body morphs.

There are two more new characters to 3DC you see in the image, one is X2000's Mardarian character which is one of three X2000 characters just purchased by 3DC. Mike is getting out of 3D due to some health issues and we didn't want to see his little guys and gals go away. So we'd like to welcome them all to the 3DC Exclusive Character Family. :) Mardarian is playin the fly DJ spinning disks and dancin on dem DJ bones. The DJ equipment is from Holli. Speakers are freebies from Pretty 3D.

There's one more new guy in the image that we're not telling you much about yet except that he's coming soon to 3DC and he's BIG... really BIG and we're sure you'll just love him like we do. :)

Also included is Michael 2 wearing our 3DC Frankie morph and texture pack, a Vue Doberman and a few trees, and some assorted shrubberies.

The party for the winners of the Ghouls Gone Wild Contest is really jumping now. Everybody's here and waiting with bated breath for the big announcement...who's gonna win? Check back and find out.
