Return of the Roaring 20s

 

Aloha kākou!  Hello everyone, I’ve been having a lovely summer, with some nice time spent on the islands and some time spent working on some projects, but I’m back and excited to share some things with you!

This weekend the Sisters of Eden held a flapper party, capturing the spirit of the Roaring ’20s.  I’d had this lovely dress from Silvan Moon Designs, Ain’t Misbehavin, that I’d blogged before.  But since that time, I’d found a few new jewelry pieces and some much better hair, so I thought I’d share them with you.

The shot above uses the Flux pose set from ecru poses.  I picked it up at The Liason Collaborative recently, and they’re just a lot of fun!

The hair is definitely the biggest improvement over the old pics!  no.match has some amazing styles, and no.commission suited me best.  It felt perfect with the outfit — and with my own style.  I replaced the headband that came with Ain’t Misbehavin’ with an improved one, Clara, from Empyrean Forge.  It’s a better mesh and texture.  Yes, I know, the pic below is a bit dark to show it off, but what can I say, I really like the shot anyway.

The rear view really shows off the Petit Vigne back necklace, framed by the scoop back of Ain’t Misbehavin’.  The shot below also shows off the beautiful backseam Nyla stockings from Alaska Metro <3.

The original Ain’t Misbehavin’ post was back in 2016, almost exactly three years ago.  I can’t believe it’s three years old, but it does go to show that just because something is a little older doesn’t mean it’s still not fantastic.  A little updating and I’m ready to dance!

Mahalo!  A hui hou kākou!

I am wearing:


A little silk for Anybody

I can’t resist when the outfit makes me think of music (thanks, Whit) — so maybe a pseudo silk kimono….

The Courtesan

Night,
dark, soft, alluring,
spinner of dreams I want to be lost in,
is a kindhearted courtesan,
who never demanded anything
for all her loving, that to me
was like a swim in the pool
of “Ananda” I was searching for.

I climbed her door steps
with the silent footfalls of a cat,
all these years for solace,
when the fair lass ,
regaled by my songs evening after evening,
scoffed and taunted,
when I fell wounded
in duels of life, I was forced to fight
to keep my honor intact.

Once,
seeing me left in the lurch,
blood soaked and badly wounded
she led my tired legs
to her house of magic and secret treasure hunts,
blessed me with oblivion, till I woke up.
Her mansion became
arena of silent dances of wounded memories,
till sun appeared above misty mountains
cheering me up with new promises,
but my thoughts never left her.
I spent my darkest hours
in her house,
thrilled by dreams she induced,
in which under moonbeams
princesses gathered,
bubbling fine wine brimmed
in sparkling glasses,
I felt the most loved man
within her tender arms.
I would wait for the night, my sullied lover,
to arrive with her hands of breeze,
to tousle my hair and caress my face.
Night  took away my pains,
her lasciviousness is the only drink,
that makes me ask for more.
She is not only mine,
as a courtesan, she needs to entertain
whoever seeks her,
But when I am with her,
she is all mine.

(Night is a Kind Hearted Courtesan, by K. Balachandran)
