Fantasy Faire 2020: The Fiercest Storms

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews

The fiercest storms may blow us off course… they may wreck our plans and break the keel, but hold on to the lines, and keep your course true.


Aeon’s pose is Loveliness #3 from K&S poses

Welina mai kākou! Hau‘oli Pō’aono! Aloha my friends, Happy Saturday!

There are all kinds of things to find at Fantasy Faire 2020! The beautiful Isle of Shadows is an amazing pirate and mer sim that you have to stop by and sea! (wink wink nudge nudge)


Aeon’s pose is Look Up! #1 from [Kikay] Poses

Belle Epoque brings you Anne, a wonderful piratey-themed outfit available in Maitreya and Legacy fitmesh. It’s a one-piece top/skirt/corset piece, with incorporated belt and pistol. The detail is really amazing!

The fiercest dragons may become the fiercest friends.


Aeon’s pose is Priestess 3 from Poseidon Poses

Hope comes from unexpected corners. It’s up to us to be the hope for others! Create hope by coming and shopping at the Faire, and take home little bits of magic for yourself.

Aloha kākou! A hui hou!

Fantasy Faire 2019: Adieu (but not goodbye!!!)

Aeon Events

Not everything at Fantasy Faire is fantasy or sci-fi related!  Adieu Grunges is a lovely minidress and corset from Mishmash Fusion that fits well in nearly any contemporary setting!

  • Mishmash Fusion — Adieu Grunges minidress & corset (8 texture hud) (Feya/Isis/Venus/Lara/Hourglass/Physique/Curvy/Fine/Standard fitmesh)
  • EarthStones — Tumbled Stones (Spectrum) necklace, earrings and bracelet
  • Maitreya — Zoie boots (black)
  • *Eternal Dream* — Winter Spirit 04 pose

It’s a lovely little minidress… just cheeky enough!

There are so many wonderful things at Fantasy Faire, and every one helps contribute to the fight against cancer.  With 16 sims, you can always get in somewhere and have a look around.  Fantasy Faire 2019 is only here until May 5, and there is SO MUCH to see.

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

Eclipse

Aeon Fashion, Reviews

I think that one of my favourite gifts of SL is that it lets me experiment with different personas.  It lets me explore different looks (what would I look like blond?  eeep no). But on the larger sense, what if you could put yourself in another’s skin?  (NO, NOT IN A CREEPY WAY! OMG)

I’ve always loved being a fae in the world… and more recently in the past year or two, a neko… and more recently playing with the most wonderful exotic skins from Fallen Gods.

Beyond the appreciation for a beautiful skin, what does it mean?  I think it’s a chance to see the parts of you that you keep inside, that you don’t let the outside world see… maybe the parts you don’t let yourself see.  The cracks, the breaks, the broken… and the brilliant.

  • Fallen Gods — Lumina Eclipse skin
  • Ally Adventure — Artemis Chain Mail skirt and top (black) (Freya/Isis/Venus/Maitreya/Physique/Hourglass/Standard fitmesh) (Marketplace Link)
  • Luanes World — Try to forget you pose

For all of this introspection, what have I learned?

I think a little bit back to the solar eclipse of 2017.  It was the first solar eclipse I’d seen, and I drove hours and hours to get to a place to see it.  I wasn’t disappointed.  A minute and a half of totality… and a lifetime shift in perspective.  All of a sudden… the world felt different… the view of the solar corona, the strange feel of a chill in the air on a humid hot summer day…. a world revealed in the dark.

I think, for me, that every avatar, every look…  is a little slice of what’s inside.  Dark, hopeful, despairing, joyful, twisted, flirty, cross… shining.  Every bit is a part of me, and every bit celebrated.

Even the pain-in-the-butt bits.  (NO, NOT THAT WAY, OMG!)

Happy Aloha Friday, my lovely ones.  For all the pain and hardship, you are beautiful.  I believe in you.

Mahalo!  A hui hou kākou!

I really enjoy wandering about a snowy outdoor market, and the Okinawa Winter Festival 2018 is off to a beautiful start!  I got to wander around the market, and fell in love with the beautiful Rachel coat from EXiA!

Rachel comes in five lovely colours and each has red and white options for the bow,  holly (or not), and solid or plaid at the coat bottom.  Rachel feels so very fun and warm and festive — it’s the perfect thing to wander about in the falling snow!

Mahalo!  A hui hou kakou!

Powers of Prediction

I foresee people coming together to help out those less fortunate.  Hey, look at that, I’m right! Don’t call me a Sybil, that’s really just the beautiful new dress that Kerryth at Spyralle has created for Spoonful of Sugar, an event to help support Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) (Doctors Without Borders).

So I’m always on the prowl for good new hair.  Curly hair is rough — there’s lots of mesh hair for straight locks, but my curls are rough to reproduce in-world.  Often the hair I wear for walking around in-world is different from what I wear for photos — hair with flexies is rough on photos, but it can sure look good as you dance or walk about in-world.  So I was really excited to find Leela from Analog Dog at SoS.  It’s not an exclusive there — it’s also at the mainstore — but I believe that the purchases at SoS contribute to MSF, so it’s a good time to buy!  Leela is very similar to my go-to hair (Annie, also from Analog Dog) — but it’s a bit longer, with a lovely curl over my right eye.  🙂

Sybil comes in six lovely colours, each in a “glyph” and “plain” version.  You might guess which I prefer!  I love this dress so much that I might have obtained four of the six available colours!

My friends, have a wonderful weekend.  Stop by Spoonful of Sugar, get some lovely things, and help out MSF.  The only thing better than finding new treasures is helping others out in the process!

Mahalo, my friends!  A hui hou!

Lost in Space

Blue’s been showing a number of free gifties from Canimal lately, so I thought I’d better get my favourite one in!  Mercury is a beautiful two-piece Maitreya Lara fitmesh outfit that comes complete with a lovely 15-texture HUD.  

The top is really adorable with the belly tie and a cute little peter-pan collar and cuffs. But…. are you really *sure* this is going to put my atoms all back in the right order on the other side?

I don’t usually talk about the poses I feature, but that top one (Flight 15) is from a lovely new pose shop that I recently discovered.  Poseidon Poses features a lot of action poses, particularly action-hero and fantasy poses.  They’re really quite remarkably done, you’ll see some more of their work from me in the future.

Canimal has a lovely wall of free gifties, so stop on by and take a look!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

Hyperborean Chieftan

I make it a point not to re-blog old items, but sometimes you have to.  I first blogged the Snowmoon Silk Road tunic and pants from Spyralle almost two years ago — just a few weeks shy of two years.  Do you want a good laugh?  Go back and take a look at that post!

There’s a good reason to come back to the Silk Road tunic — Kerryth has created Eagle of the Snows, a new headdressb designed to complement Snowmoon, and it’s available only at Genre!

  • Spyralle — Eagle of the Snows Headdress, exclusive for Genre!
  • Spyralle — Silk Road II Tunic (Snow Moon) and Trousers (Midnight)
  • Baby Monkey — Debbi Boot
  • Dragonsfyre — Sky Nation Native American War Lance
  • [Kikay] — Lolita Gothic D pose

Eagle of the Snows has a number of wonderful options!  There is a removable mask-like portion (shown attached above, and removed, below).  There is also a texture HUD that allows three different pattern choices for the front and side gems.

The War Lance from Dragonsfyre was just what I needed to complete the ensemble.  It’s very nicely done, my only problem was that while resizeable, the minimum size was too big for a “normal” sized avatar (that is, my height of just under 2 m tall).  No problems, I was able to edit -> edit linked and resize the staff and adjust the feathers just right!

Okay, now for the bad news.  This is the last time for Genre!  Spyralle has been a part of Genre for a very long time, and Eagle of the Snows is a bit of a good-bye to this wonderful event.

Do stop by, let’s give Genre a good send-off!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

A moment of destiny

Do not go within the ring… the fae live beyond the stones, and they are fierce in their passions: they mark their own.  Once you venture beyond… you will be lost unto them.

Silvan Moon Designs has a wonderful outfit for  you for the November We Love Role Play event!  Iona Destiny is a two-part fitmesh outfit for SLink Hourglass and Physique, Maitreya Lara, as well as fitmesh for the standard SL body.  Its is available in seven different dark jeweltones.

  • {Way} — Marcella pose

Solas and Bee are an amazing team.  Stop by We Love Role Play and take a look around through this month!

As for me… I ventured beyond… they have marked me… and my destiny is theirs.

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

The Fallen Gods Decennial is on, and WOW are there a lot of exciting things happening!   There’s a huge hunt as well as lots of side events.  One of the little fun things is a little matchmaker fortune-teller booth at Fallen Gods, and you can win the Chronos Coal Black full avatar.  On top of that, the hunt item from Fallen Gods is an alternate skin for Chronos, in water gold.  So I, of course, had to play mix and match with them!   Chronos features a variegated skin, monokini, headpiece, hair, staff, and backpiece, as well as a little swirl of butterflies.  It’s all here!  

The full avatar gift from the matchmaker at Fallen Gods includes the Coal Gold skin, but I swapped out the hair for Empty Gold from Magika.  It’s a little more my colour, and still works with the skin!  The backpiece and staff might be a little much for dancing, but are fantastic for making your shining presence known!

Chronos also comes with some bluer-than-blue omega eye appliers,  which are pretty decent, but I happened to pick up a lovely pair of Schadenfreude Moon in my eyes from the recent The Coven hunt, which seemed just perfect for this outfit! 

The Fallen Gods Decennial goes on for the whole month of October, but stop by soon!  Enjoy the hunt and all the associated events, there’s too much fun out there to be had!

Spirit of Hope

One of the things I’m most happy about in Second Life is that we’re not just a game, we’re not just playing about, we do try to make a difference.  Creations for Parkinson’s has organised a major Hallowe’en event to support the Michael J. Fox Foundation’s Team Fox in support of research of Parkinson’s Disease.  100 per cent of all proceeds from the Gotham Island Event will be donated to Team Fox!

Solas and Bee at Silvan Moon Designs are taking part with two wonderful creations.  Spirit of Hope is an all fitmesh gown and overskirt for SLink Physique and Maitreya Lara.  It is beautiful and simple and elegant.

Spirit‘s overskirt features beautiful pale lavender floral accents that complement the lavender skirting on the gown.  Bee has really outdone herself with the texturing here!

Please visit Gotham Island Event and financially support the fight to end Parkinson’s Disease.  Researchers are making progress, but they need the funding to carry out the work!  We can end this debilitating syndrome!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!
