This is Entice’s Advent gift from Day 7. I’ve photographed these bottoms before in a different color, but the salmon is very nice! (It’s nearly pink, sshhhhh!)
The top and bottoms are separates and come in fitmesh for Lara, Freya, Isis, Venus, Hourglass, and Physique. They make for a wonderful set of PJs 🙂 The “Dream Girl” writing is on the back of the panties too, and there is also a plain version without the writing, but it’s always is nice to remind that special person 🙂

Here are two more of the Christmas presents from Maitreya!
This figure hugging bodycon dress is only in fitmesh for Lara. It’s plunging back is a highlight, and it pairs wonderfully with the boots that were in another of the Christmas presents!
Dress: Draped-Back Bodycon Dress Burgundy by Maitreya
When I saw the name of the fabulous dress from Maitreya that was one of seven Advent gifts for their customers, I went “steak? what?!?” But of course, “filet” is the steak part, and the translation of “mignon” is “small and pretty; dainty”, which I find a very pleasing name for this dress!
Unsurprisingly, as this dress is made by Maitreya, the only size is fitmesh for Lara.
The matching shoes were also one of the seven gifts from Maitreya. The texturing is fantastic!
This is the Entice Advent Calendar gift for Day 24!
The top and the skirt are separates. Fitmesh sizes include Lara, Hourglass, Physique, Isis, Freya, and Venus. There are also two different versions, the normal one I’m wearing here, and a version where the colours are dirtied up. Both are very nicely done. Entice has certainly been nice to their customers this Advent!
The top suffers from a tiny bit of clipping at the lower strap while dancing but is fine for walking around in, although you better not wear it at a G-rated sim 🙂
Hiding in my inventory I found this lovely sheer gold catsuit. I’d tried it on before when I originally found it, but it wasn’t so impressive over my normal skin. So, searching for inspiration, let’s wear it on my leopardess!
The catsuit is available as system layers and also comes with appliers for Slink, Maitreya, Belleza, Omega, and TMP.
The leopard avi is from Catseye, and comes with a really nicely detailed skin for both male and female avis including Omega skin appliers. It also comes with shapes for both genders, and a curvy “Catty” female shape, plus the ears and tail to complete the look. The sheer gold catsuit looks great against the dark skin. Reow!

You know, the rule about pink and redheads? Well, this slinky little dress is only in this candy pink, and as you may have noticed, I so love my hairstyle at the moment I don’t want to change, so let’s just see if we can get it to work!
This dress comes in sizes for Isis, Freya, Venus, Lara, Hourglass, and Physique, and is a group gift from Salt. The group is FREE to join and there are also other past group gifts available. The dress is fully materials enabled and glitters as it catches the light.
The dress works best in poses that are not too drastic as it’s very difficult to get alpha cuts that work well with it on Lara. So while it’s certainly modeled on a great little clubbing dress, it may not work really well dancing unless you can put up with some level of mesh breakthrough (although I did run it through my dances at home as it works, your mileage may vary).
And oh, this is the second lightest auburn for my hair and in normal lighting the dress tends to look much more silvery than you see it here 🙂
Another year has passed! I forgot to mention that the blog is over two years old (it’s birthday is in late September)!
Here’s our greeting card photos for this year. Aeon and I again took photos at the same time and without consulting each other. We must be telepathic 🙂

Blue says: So many things have happened in SL this year! I’ve mentioned before that I love to take this time of year to reflect on the good and what I could have done better. Aeon and I went through a little crisis as I expect a lot of couples do, and looking back, that was mostly my fault for paying more attention to things like involvement with Eden and other various projects, and not enough attention to my lovely wife. Thank you for my wakeup call, darling ♥♥♥
During the year, the owner of Eden appointed me a Head Angel. Angels are a combination host/helper/security officer/builder and all around “do what needs to be done” people. This was a huge honor, as I’ve always done whatever I could to help out with scripting or building or organizing around the club, without expecting anything other than the opportunity to have a good time. Thank you Sabine! I’m sure I’ll be working even more closely with our manageress Nandi that I was previously (she and I winterized the club together a couple of weeks ago. Lots of snowy fun!) Except of course when I need to pay attention to Aeon!
There are lots more stories I could tell you. I relocated our in-world store, I had fun meeting new people from all over the world, I set myself building and scripting challenges (and mostly accomplished them), I had fun finding fashion, wearing fashion, and mostly photographing fashion, and I hope you’ve enjoyed seeing the things we found, and maybe you found them for yourselves!
But I better leave room for Aeon to write something so I’ll just wish you and your loved ones a wonderful holiday season, and may the new year bring you peace, prosperity, and love in abundance!

Aeon says:
It’s important, this time of year in particular, to take advantage of every last moment to step aside and reflect, to breathe in the peace, to let go of stress. It’s been quite a year of stress for some of us — the outside world of politics and civil unrest seems to wear heavily on many of us right now. Let me tell you — all of you — that I appreciate this more than anything: to be able to talk to each of you, from around the world, to find common ground, to share laughter and stories and love. To be able to hold our own against all the people who say “us first, beware the outsider, you should be very afraid” — to all of them, I say this — you are not stronger than love. Your hatred and fear cannot surpass love.
I am so wonderfully grateful that my family has grown. I have been honoured to have been adopted as daughter of the wonderful Ia and Jaz Silvermoon, who married last month, and are shining and bright. Love shared grows, multiplies, exponentiates. Tack mina mammor, jag älskar er så mycket!
And through all of this, my darling Blue has remained, my wonderful and infinitely understanding bride. For all the grace and laughter and love, for all of the happiness, the new things to learn, the daily frustrations and joys shared.
Mahalo nui loa, all of you my friends. Thank you so much for being a part of my life. I wish you all of the peace and joy and wonder of the Solstice, of the season, however you choose to celebrate.
God Jul! Mele Kalikimaka me ka Hau’oli Makahiki Hou!
Today I’m showing you a beautiful Christmassy blouse from Moonstar’s Advent Calendar!
It comes in classic mesh sizes plus fitmesh for classic, Freya, Isis, Venus, Lara, Osasin, eBody, Hourglass, Physique, Curvy, Fine, and TMP! While the fit is great on Lara, the really long cuffs on the sleeves have some clipping issues with Slink hands, so I’ve retouched the pics a little 🙂
I also finally get a chance to show off my Christmas present to myself, these absolutely fantastic corset laced jeans from L&B Swear! I saw them on a blog I follow and they instantly became a must-buy, and as it’s Christmas time, I got them for myself. They come in a one-size-fits-all for classic, and specific fitmesh for Lara, Physique, Hourglass, Venus, Isis, and Freya.
They have a massive texturing HUD with 14 denims ranging from light stone wash though dry and blacks, plus a bonus black leather version! You can change the metal rivets, button, and grommets to five different metals, and there are 26 different colors for the corset lacing! Very versatile! They are not cheap at L$699, but they are are fantastic jeans, and I’m a sucker for corset lacing 🙂
I make it a point not to re-blog old items, but sometimes you have to. I first blogged the Snowmoon Silk Roadtunic 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)
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 Dragonsfyrewas 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.
Baby Monkey have been running an Advent Calendar, but it hasn’t been advertised much outside the group, which is a shame as it’s open to everyone with no group required!
The dress and boots are from this year’s calendar, and the tights are from a couple of years ago. Firstly, the dress is in fitmesh for Freya, Isis, Venus, eBody, Lara, Hourglass, Physique, Curvy, and Fine. There are no classic sizes. It comes with a three color HUD too.
The boots and socks are one item, and are non-rigged/no modify with a resize script. They also come with a HUD that allows you to select the color of the boots and socks independently from three different colors.
A great little outfit for tramping though the snowy landscape!
