Esmeralda

While the world may sometimes look dark, take a moment and listen — the birds sing, the flowers bloom. The breeze blows in the trees. The Planet, in all Her majesty, dances on. How can we not pause to hear the piper?

Welina mai kākou!

We’re just over half-way through June, and the June edition of We Love Role Play is going strong! Bee and Solas at Silvan Moon Designs bring you Esmeralda. It has a wonderful care-free feel to it. While it’s a longer mesh, it’s flared up about calf-length, so it doesn’t pose the kind of problems that you often see in movement for a longer mesh dress. Esmeralda comes in six lovely colours, and is sized for Maitreya only.

The outfit features separate skirt and top, so you can mix-and-match. The beautiful boots are included, and totally complement the dress. I’m already thinking about other outfits that I can pair these with. I’ve added the beautiful bangles from @rOrO and a necklace and earrings from EarthStones. It must have been fate, for the Esmeralda hair and scarf from Fantavatar & Moonstruck [Oblivion] just matches perfectly, completing the look.

I… feel I’ve got to say one more bit here, though, because I love the jewelry from Earthstones and rOrO, but… we really should stop using the term ‘gypsy’. Yes, I know, there’s a lot of debate about this — many ethnic Roma say “please don’t use the word, it’s hurtful”, and others say that they don’t care. There’s a nice discussion of the term and its history and usage here. I think the long and the short of it to me is, why say it if it makes people feel bad? Political correctness isn’t a bad thing, it’s simply a different phrase that means “polite”.

So, you know, be kind. Let the word go.

Let’s close on a happy — we’re on location outside of Silvan Moon Designs. My favourite sim designer, Gidgy, decorated the sim beyond the store for Bee and Solace. Queensgarden lives on, in our hearts and all over the Grid!

I wish you all a wonderfully happy weekend. May you have peace and serenity, and stay healthy. Aloha kākou!

A hui hou kākou!

Gypsy enchantments

I got to wander around the latest round of Enchantment: The Iron Throne over the past weekend, and while the theme is Game of Thrones, I found the most wonderful separates that just cried out “boho/gypsy chic” to me.  A little mix-and-match and you’ve got a look that is perfect for role play… or for every day.  Well, every day for me, anyway!

I don’t know about you, but I find that working with separates can definitely be more challenging — I tend to forget what separates I have in my wardrobe, and finding pieces that go together can be very hit-or-miss.  But it’s very exciting when it does, and creates a look that is very unique to the individual.

Mahalo!  A hui hou kākou!


White lace

Hunt For Your Inner Slut is on at the moment, and there are some really nice outfits available!  This pretty white lingerie set is from rOrO.

The halter top and panties are separates and come in a wide variety of mesh body sizes, but the package doesn’t include standard sizes.  There is also an Omega applier for a set of white lace gloves, but I’ve chosen not to wear them.

This is a really nice lingerie set and a wonderful addition to the wardrobe 🙂
