Twenty seconds into the future

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews

Weekends are for shopping, spending some time on a lazy Sunday morning, wandering about events with good friends and family, enjoying a beautiful day… sometimes it’s the old familiar places, sometimes it’s new new locales with dazzling scenery and decoration.  Later on I’ll look over a few new treasures, and see how they speak to me, what story they tell me when I find a place to take some new pics to share.

We wandered about the NeoJapan event last weekend, and I got the chance to stop by Insilico for a few pics.  Tomoe is a beautiful little kimono from EXiA, complete with gloves and armbands, and it definitely feels to be appropriate for NeoJapan — that exciting cross between old-world culture and a view of a cyberpunk future, perhaps.

EXiA also has boots and a brace of kunai to strap to your thigh available for separate purchase.  The high boots are lovely, high-heeled with straps and an open toe.  Open-toe high boots are not exactly my style, but I found something that suited me even better.  Jazabelle Boutique has a lovely new outfit called Crimson Dragon, and includes black boots with a red dragon motif that is just the purrrrrrfect coomplement for Tomoe’s  kimono.

You know, there was an old television programme that I’ve caught on the youtubes… you may have heard of Max Headroom?  There was this wonderful little tagline that I recall printed on the bottom of the screen like a closed-caption statement at the beginning of each episode, setting the stage: “Twenty seconds into the future.”  That stuck with me, even though I never watched more than a couple episodes of the programme.

Twenty seconds into the future.  Near enough to be here… just distant enough to not be right now.

Exia’s Tomoe is perfect for that moment — twenty seconds into the future.

Mahalo!  A hui hou kākou!

 

At the mercy of the night

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews, Sponsored

The cool clammy taste of the foggy night, the pool of hazy golden light about the gas lamp at the street corner.  Every nerve is alive, every sound sends a little shiver up your back.  Best not go out alone….

Silvan Moon Designs offers their latest exclusive for We Love Role Play, the lovely Mercy Maxwell.

The remarkable chapeau is just perfect for this outfit, and can be pretty easily adjusted for a reasonable choice of mesh hair.

Bee and Solas have a remarkable partnership, and keep producing the most wonderful role-play pieces.  Mercy Maxwell is right at home on a Victorian city street or at a steampunk event.  It’s available at We Love Role Play through the month of April.  Stop by and pick up a demo!

Mahalo!  A hui hou kākou!

Witchwood

Aeon Events, Fashion, Places, Reviews

So much happiness to share!  Petite Mort and Oubliette have moved to a new sim, Witchwood!  It’s a good opportunity to show you some lovely acquisitions I picked up from Petite Mort, the Royal Starlite sweater and the Burnout Velvet Skirt.

Both the Royal Starlight outfit and the Burnout Velvet skirt are slightly older releases.  They feature fitmesh for both SLink bodies and the Maitreya Lara.  Royal Starlight comes with a lovely little matching skirt, but I really liked how the top goes with the longer Burnout Velvet skirt.

Melora has created quite the beautiful little shopping experience at Witchwood.  There are many little scenes (like this one) that are perfect for taking pictures.  It’s really nicely done, stop by and have a look around.

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

stay in bed with me

Aeon Fashion, Reviews

I lay between the sheets as dawn’s early glow washes over me… thinking of your touch, the warmth of your love surrounding me… thinking how lucky I am to be yours.

I discovered some new beautiful fitmesh lingerie from /erratic/ that just suits my style so perfectly.  Ella is a lovely cami and shorts set (I always called them tap pants?).  They feature beautiful satiny texture and some lovely lace details.  I’ll show you some other lovelies from /erratic/ later on.

Why don’t we just stay in bed all day?  Warm and cozy and soft, let our worries just fade away.

Mahalo!   A hui hou!

The Courtesan

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews, Sponsored

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)

Solas and Bee at Silvan Moon Designs have a beautiful new gown for you at The Secret Affair.  The Courtesan is a two-piece mesh gown (gown and overskirt) available in four different lovely colour combinations for SLink and Maitreya bodies.

The Secret Affair has some wonderful treasures.  Stop by and take a look around before this secret disappears!

Twisted infinity

Aeon LotD

It’s a long way from Hallowe’en, but I found myself mysteriously drawn to the figure in black… what strange secrets did she know?  

Infinity has a lovely texture-change HUD, with a variety of dark green and black patterns to choose from.  The straps are independently adjustable, too!  It comes in all your favourite sizes — the standard five rigged mesh, plus fitmesh for Maitreya, both SLink bodies, all three Belleza, and TMP.   And the heels!  Fit for Belleza, Maitreya and SLink high feet, and also with a texture-change HUD!

I get the feeling that I’m being watched!  Eeeek!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

Dialing Home

There is joy in wandering…. and joy in returning.  The cosmos is my home, the dance of the stars my heartbeat. 

Neil said “We are made of the dust of stars, and the oceans flow in my veins”.

Come with me…. let’s set a course.  Second star to the left, and straight on until dawn.

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

Swing like an octopus

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews, Sponsored

Ooooo some things are just too much fun for words.  Lei-wearing ‘ukelele-strumming octopi on a 50’s era swing dress?  You know that only could have come from Eclectic Stars!

Swingers Octojam comes in fitmesh for Maitreya Lara, SLink Physique and Hourglass, Belleza and TMP bodies, as well as the standard five rigged mesh sizes.

And a haku lei for a swing dress?  Sure, and Island Style Designs has a host of colours to match nearly any outfit.  I look almost as cute as those octopi!

Sami revisited

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews, Sponsored

Carrie’s Lingerie has released another new update on an old friend.  Sami was one of my favourite old applier pieces of lingerie, so I’m so happy to have the updated version with Omega appliers.  The lace-up back is just mmmmms.

  • Carrie’s Lingerie — Sami (fuscia) corset and stockings
  • .wound — Ribbon choker (dark)
  • Lazuri — Classic Pearls earrings and bracelet
  • [L.Warwick] — Savannah Ankle Strapped Heels (Noir Leather)
  • <K&S> — Candy #1 pose

Sami comes in six strong colours (and a fatpack is available), so you’re sure to find your look.

I usually don’t follow boudoir shots with something more covered up, but I do like wearing a corset and a pair of jeans… it’s perfect for a casual sexy look when you’re out for the pub.

I am so glad that Carrie’s Lingerie has continued to update some of the older pieces with Omega appliers.  I can think of quite a few to put on their list — Fireangel in particular, and that one burlesque-y outfit that I haven’t seen in the main store for ages!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!
