Fantasy Faire 2021: Guardians


Protector, guardian, warrior. We are all of these when we take a stand against Unweaver.


Aeon’s pose is Naissance II from XPOSEure (Fair Store in Peaville Goes Nuts)

I think that Fantasy Faire is about protection and about memory — we raise money to help end cancers, and we remember all those that we have lost along the way. Alia Baroque was inspired by this when he created Valhalla, the Fallen Gods-sponsored sim at the Fairegrounds. And appropriately, there have been a number of Norse-inspired outfits and poses that I’ve come across at the Fairegrounds.

Today I get to show you the very well-detailed Amnerystunic from .Viki.. Amnerys is perfect for a Viking or other medieval timeframe or roleplay. It comes in 8 different animal hide options, so you’re sure to find something that suits your look. I really liked the Dark Goat!


Aeon’s pose is Freyja 3 from Astalianda (Fair Store in Valhalla)

I needed a little something for my arms, so I found these wonderful bracers from the Breeze outfit from Blue Moon Enterprises. My other pieces here you’ve seen before: the Bow of Galadhrim from Unity Maxim, Mizu’s Raider Hatchet, and the Runar boots from R3D Studio


Aeon’s pose is Tauriel 3 from Poseidon Poses (Fair Store in Valhalla)

The Faire will be coming to a close this weekend… it’s always so hard to part with such a magical place. It’s more than a shopping event, it’s a community event. I hope that you have had the opportunity to enjoy it. If not.. there’s still time!

Stay safe and happy! Aloha! A hui hou kākou!

Autumn Browns

It’s September, and some of us are experiencing the cooler weather… time for a little heavier of a dress, I think!  The peppers are ready to pick (and this little duck will be making some fiery salsa), but in the meantime, I’d best chase the ducks away from the garden!

Blue Moon Enterprises offers Coreen in rust, a beautiful one-piece mesh dress and blouse for their September group gift.  It’s in five standard sizes, and is perfect for a cool autumn day!

Solas does the most amazing detail work on her mesh.  Look at the folds in the neckline and on the sleeve, and the detail work along the top of the dress, and the stitching down the back.  If only I had her skill!

Now, on to more pressing matters — for a share of the salsa, who will help me dice my peppers?

Aloha!  A hui hou!


The Roaring Twenties by the Light of the Moon

There are some eras that always seem a little more glamorous, a little more sparkly.  One of my favourites is the Roaring Twenties, that amazing decade between the end of The Great War and the beginning of The Great Depression — filled with jazz, booze, and gangsters.  Women found their voice with the right of franchise in the US in 1920, and celebrated their freedoms and their choices in music and in dance.

As an exclusive for the Lovecraft Festival (Lovefest), Silvan Moon Designs brings us an homage to the Roaring Twenties in Ain’t Misbehavin’, a beaded all-mesh dress in four perfect shades.
AintMisbehavin_c015

Dressed by Lexi rounded out this outfit with Maui Pearls, perfect flapper-era shoes, and the Tantalize jewelry set (earrings and armlets).   I really love mixing and matching from different outfits to get the right look.  Ain’t Misbehavin’ includes that treat headband, shaded for each of the dresses!

AintMisbehavin_c014Ain’t Misbehavin’ comes in four shades, three of them shown here for your perusal.

There’s one more shade, a beautiful rose, but you’ll have to stop by the Lovecraft Festival and check that one out yourself.

AND — before I forget, the creators of Silvan Moon Designs — Solas (of Blue Moon Enterprises) and Bee (of The White Armory) — have additional news!  Solas has moved Blue Moon’s inworld mainstore to The White Armory sim.  You can find satisfy all of your era-specific clothing at the same sim!  Stop on by and visit!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!


The magic of summer

Blue Moon Enterprises is currently participating in the Creations Park Shop, and is offering you an incentive to stop by and check it out.

100% of all proceeds from items sold at Creations Park go to Team Fox for research into treating Parkinson’s Disease.

SummerFae_c12

Summer Fae is a beautiful all-mesh two-layer dress and wings that I’m fairly sure must be made of pure fairy sparkles.  The wings are unscripted, but have a lovely gentle flutter to them – and the texture is gorgeous.

SummerFae_c09

Even if you fold your wings, you are still made of magic.
SummerFae_c05

Slip off the overdress…. and you have a classy number ready for an evening out.

SummerFae_c02

Solas already has a lovely August group gift out, this one is a bonus for the event.  Stop by Creations Park, pick up Summer Fae, and spend a few lindens.  You’ll help Team Fox fight against a nasty debilitating condition, and find some fantastic treasures for yourself!

Mahalo! A hui hou!


Longing for the horizon…

Fishwife:

  • a coarse-mannered woman who is prone to shouting.
  • (archaic) a woman who sells fish.

Let’s say that the gorgeous mesh netting on Blue Moon Enterprises‘s August Group Gift has something to do with fish, then, because I’d hate for anyone to think that I had coarse manners!

Fishwife_c006

Fishwife‘s beautiful mesh is available in the five standard mesh sizes.  I found it to be a bit tricky on the Physique mesh body due to awkwardly-positioned alpha zone boundaries, but the lovely design makes it worth it.

Fishwife_c008

I’ll admit – sometimes I get really excited about the pictures I take.  Most of the time, actually, I’m pretty happy about them, but sometimes I get particularly excited.  So… join me, and gaze to the far-off horizon.  What wonders await us out there?

A hui hou, my friends!  Mahalo!


Rising from the waters

Sometimes…. the pearls are hidden in the flotsam and jetsam.

At the beginning of June, I had gone to pick up the group gift from Blue Moon Enterprises (always a treat) and had apparently then completely forgotten about it.  It wasn’t until earlier today that I was looking at my inventory (the flotsam and jetsam in this case) and OMG stumbled across Selkie, a beautiful mesh skirt and tie-back bandau.

Selkie_c001

The skirt comes in the standard mesh sizes, but the bandau comes in a single size.  I was a bit distraught at first, as it was much larger than my chest!  But Solas made the bandau mod, so that you can edit the top.  Simply select ‘edit linked’, and click on the bandau itself (not the ties or the abalone shell decorations).  You can then select the front face-center (it should be a red square) and slide that in or out to resize.  Don’t forget to adjust the back as well!  Once you’re happy with the fit of the bandau, select the abalone shells in front and move them to your chest, and the ties in back the same way.  It will fit like a dream!

Selkie_c008

Now — fair disclosure — I don’t know how long it will take Solas to put up a new group gift for July.  Maybe at the time of this post it’s already up – and maybe you have an hour or two. Maybe a day.  But maybe you have ten minutes.  If you haven’t dashed over and grabbed this, run now to Blue Moon Enterprises, and maybe you’ll forgive me for not showing this to you before now!

A hui hou, my friends!  Mahalo!


A Charming Collaboration

What’s better than a new release from one of your favourite merchants?  How about a new release from a collaboration of two of your favourites?  Solas at Blue Moon Enterprises and Bee Dumpling at The White Armory have teamed up to bring you the Ivy Rose Gown, now at We <3 Role-Play.  This stunning mesh gown features swishy flexi add-ons at the hip and sleeve, and comes in seven delicious colours, with a fatpack available.  This is the gold:

IvyRose_c003

I don’t want to overload you with pics, but I had to include a few of the colours — shown below, mint, periwinkle, and silver.

IvyRose_c008

IvyRose_c009

IvyRose_c012

Ivy Rose is also available in pink, sky, and teal.  I’m really hoping that Bee and Solas team up for more collaborations in the future.

Ivy Rose comes in seven mesh sizes plus a Slink, Belleza/Maitreya, and standard fitmesh versions.  There is a demo of Ivy Rose available, so please stop by We <3 Role-Play and pick one up today!

Mahalo, and a hui hou!

 

 


A Fleeting Enchantment

I have to share with you a lovely set of dresses from Solas and Blue Moon Enterprises.  Elina is currently available at Enchantment until the end of May, but will be in the Blue Moon mainstore after that.  Elina is all mesh, in standard sizes plus Maitreya and Slink fitmesh.  YAY!

BMeElina_c024

Elina comes in four different coloured skirts: sky (blue), rose (lavender), reed (green),  and blush (white).  Each one features gold embroidery trim and a corset/belt with a four-texture colour-change hud (matching blue, lavender, green and gold).

BMeElina_c014

Just a little close-up on the wonderful Odyssey necklace from Spyralle!

BMeElina_c015

I wanted to put up lots and lots of pictures showing the different colour combinations, but that would have gotten out of hand very quickly.  You can head over to my flickr page, though, and see quite a few options, including pics of all four corset colours with the blush skirt.

Please go take a look at Enchantment today, and stop by and say ‘hi’ to Solas at Blue Moon!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!


A Gypsy upon a Blue Moon

Ohhhh, but how could I not?

The Group Gift for the month of May from Blue Moon Enterprises is the lovely Gypsy, a sight in soft blues and whites.

BMeGypsy_c001

BMeGypsy_c004-2

Gypsy is all mesh and comes in the standard five sizes (XXS to L) plus Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink fitmesh!  Have I mentioned lately how much I love mesh body fitmesh clothing?  I’m fairly sure that it’s the best thing to hit SL since pose balls.

BMeGypsy_c016

I think I fall more in love with Solas’ offerings with every new item she releases.  The fit and texture here are just exquisite!  Please stop by Blue Moon today, and take a look around.

Mahalo!  A hui hou!


One more for the Fantasy Faire

The Fantasy Faire has only a few more days left, but that’s still plenty of time to take advantage of some of the wonderful deals.  Blue Moon Enterprises has a lovely gown blouse and skirt combination available in four different batik textures for the ladies: the lovely Saoirse.  The all-mesh keyhole top and skirt are independently selectable, and come in the five standard sizes.   There’s also a separate tiara and belt (sold as a combination).  They’re only available at the Faire here!

Saoirse_c010

  • Blue Moon Enterprises – Saoirse  blouse and skirt (exclusive for Fantasy Faire 2016 benefiting Relay for Life)
  • Blue Moon Enterprises – Saoirse  crown and belt (exclusive for Fantasy Faire 2016 benefiting Relay for Life)
  • LuminesseSea Turtle earrings (Purple, blue, green agate in different images)
  • Baby Monkey – Debbi Boot (with colour-change HUD)

The two purple shots here are the Saoirse “orchid”.

Saoirse_c016

The “Amber” texture is a lovely earthy green.

Saoirse_c018
The lovely “Aqua” (again with tiara and belt) is a beautiful light blue with green and lavender tones.
Saoirse_c008

“Peridot” is a second green option, a bit brighter than the “Amber”.  Again, without the tiara and belt, it becomes a lovely more casual outfit, accentuated by the unbraided Katie from Calico.

Saoirse_c001

Please remember, all proceeds from the Fantasy Faire benefit the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life.  It’s quite a noble cause, and every bit helps.

Mahalo!  A hui hou!
