A flair for the batik

I’m a sucker for beautiful batiks, and I found this lovely one from Applique Chic  as I was going through my inventory this week.  The Island Tropic dress is from the Beached Bunny Hunt 7, which is sadly now over.  Hopefully Applique Chic will return it to the shop!

Island Tropic is HUD-driven with six lovely textures, and comes in the standard five rigged mesh sizes, plus fitmesh for all three Belleza bodies, both SLink, both Tonic, Maitreya, TMP, Ocacin, and Ebody.  Wow!

Happy Aloha Friday, all my lovely friends!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

 

 


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)

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

 


Le Carnivale Baroque

Our favourite period-piece designers, Silvan Moon Designs, have created a beautiful suite of gowns for the current We Love RolePlay!  Le Carnivale Baroque gown is a two-piece mesh gown in fitmesh for both SLink bodies, Maitreya, and the standard SL body as well.   Each has an unrigged bow at the bodice that can be adjusted for the perfect fit.

Bee and Solace have created seven beautiful colours so you’re sure to find the one that’s right for you.  Both the mesh and the textures are exquisite, as you’ve come to expect from Silvan Moon.  

The brocade on the front and the lace in the overskirt are just gorgeous.

Le Carnivale Baroque is discounted 25% for the WLRP event!  Don’t miss out!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!


Home

Aloha kākou!  Greetings from the Islands, sending you all my love from home!  Prism Design has the perfect swimwear for me, a lovely tropical-print boy shorts ‘kini for a group gift!  

  • GLITTER — Back Pose (Pose Lover event gift)

Eeek, I may have stayed out in the sun too long!  Sounds like time for a nice tropical drink in the shade, sit back and relax and let the world go by.   I wish you all a wonderful day filled with aloha.

Mahalo!  A hui hou!


wandering on the moor

Bee and Solas at Silvan Moon Designs have created a lovely outfit for the June We Love Role Play event: Rohanna of the Moors, a one-piece corset-and-skirt combo in fitmesh for Maitreya Lara and both SLink bodies.

There are six lovely colours, and I think it works as well as a casual fun outfit as it does for a medieval-type skirt.

Rohanna is currently available only at We Love Role Play, and is 25% off for the event.  Stop by and see the other four lovely colours!  Don’t let this slip you by!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!


monsterously delicious

Okay, maybe that’s a bit too clever — monstera deliciosa is the scientific name for the split-leaf philodendron, a beautiful tropical plant that can grow up to 10 metres across!  It features beautifully on this little dress from Seniha Originals!

I’m not usually a huge fan of strapless/sleeveless, but this is just too pretty.  It comes in two patterns, a retro style and the tropical style that I’m wearing, and in fitmesh sizes for Maitreya Lara, both SLink bodies, and all three Belleza bodies!

  • GLITTER — Advent Calendar gift pose

I’m a sucker for a good tropical print, but this one is easy to love.  I hope you’re having a lovely summer!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!


skirting the issue

I always have to be careful on the beach, my complexion isn’t the most forgiving — but a lovely buckled skirt and top from Sweet E’s Designs makes me want to risk it!

Buckled Skirt comes in nearly any size you could possibly want — five rigged mesh sizes, three Belleza, two SLink, Maitreya, TMP, eBody, and two Tonic fitmesh sizes.  They’ve got your size!

  • GLITTER — Back Pose (Pose Lover event gift)

I’d better put on more sunscreen, I will fry to a cinder out in the sun!  Aloha kākou!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!


Dorothea

Sometimes I pick up a new dress or a bit of jewelry and then don’t get to write about it for a while (as I’m sure you’ve noticed).  I’ll put on an outfit and think Wow, that looks great! and realise that I haven’t shared it with you.  Dorothea from Sexy Princess is just such a treasure!

Dorothea comes in the standard five rigged mesh sizes plus fitmesh for your favourite mesh bodies: Maitreya Lara, SLink Physique and Hourglass, all three Belleza bodies, and TMP.  There are a host of colours to choose from as well!

  • GLITTER — Back Pose (Pose Lover event gift)

EarthStones‘ Flight of Fancy is perfect for the butterfly motif, and one of the three texture options just matches up perfectly with the green!

Happy Aloha Wednesday!  Be happy today!


Catch my drift

A late evening in the city and unable to sleep… so I slip on a short yukata, and feeling very daring, slip through the neon-sparkling night for a little bit of a late-night snack…

Eclectic Stars has a very nerdy/geeky chic, but this is just a stunning little yukata and obi.  I keep tugging at the bottom edge a bit… but am also a bit flushed at the excitement of it.  It does show off my legs.  🙂

  • GLITTER — Back Pose (Pose Lover event gift)

I’d shown off EarthStones‘ Flight of Fancy necklace before.  I went back and picked up the long version… and found that layering the long and the short gave a lovely looped appearance.  

Give Jadziya at Eclectic Stars a little love — stop by and see what she has for you.  Mahalo!  A hui hou!
