Fantasy Faire 2019: Violet Pixie

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews

Go big or stay home.

But it’s okay to feel small, too.

In fair warning, this is my full-sized avi with a Maitreya body, and the lovely Ademe Warrior outfit from Roped Passions is Maitreya fitmesh: it’s just the lovely scenery at Fantasy Faire 2019 that makes makes me teeny.

 

The Ethereal wings from Lunaria are unscripted, but have a gentle flexi-like motion as you move.  They’re not flight wings, but they’re great for wearing in high-lag areas… or anytime you just want to look wonderful.

I left off jewelry with this outfit, but augmented instead with the beautiful Hope tattoo from Stardust, exclusive for the Fantasy Faire: when the Faire is over, this lovely adornment will be gone!

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!

Come Home to Fantasy Faire 2019

Aeon Events, Places

Welina mai kākou!  Hello my friends!

The streets are yet empty, the marketplaces a whisper… the breeze swirls over the open fields, ribbons fluttering lightly.  All of the preparations have been made, the lands have been made ready.  The 2019 Fantasy Faire to support the American Cancer Society’s fight against cancer is upon us!

Today, no clothes, no jewelry, nothing to buy… i just want you to take a moment and see.

Fantasy Faire is perhaps the most amazing event in all of Second Life to me.  It’s a shopping event, sure — ten sims full of shops and kiosks and markets.  There will be treasures to find, exclusives that you may never see again.  There will be new creators to discover, there will be old favourites to visit.

There will be music and dancing.  There will be gatherings and laughter and special events to keep you busy each moment.  There are six sims just to experience — full of art, full of scenery, some of the finest exhibitions of SL creators.

But stop for now, and take a look around you.  All of this was created for this brief moment in time.  Worlds of details in every square metre… a world just for this, just for us, just for now.

These streets will not be empty for long.  Everyone I have talked to in these moments before the Faire opens has been so very excited to show you all that they have created.  Come, see, enjoy.  Share the beauty that you will find at the Fantasy Faire.  Life is short, and the Faire is but a moment.  Come, dance, shop, laugh, live…. be a part of this wonderful experience.

Fantasy Faire 2019 is open now.  Come, join us, and fill the streets with joy and song, and fill the American Cancer Society and all those who are touched by this disease with hope.

Mahalo nui!  A hui hou kākou!

Prowl

She walked with a feline grace, and a sense of purpose, barely contained, hunting….

I came across this lovely strappy… minidress, I think, at We Love Role Play this month.  Midgar II is from Sasheba’s Closet, and comes with a lovely texture hud with ___ options.  I may not be exactly sure what it is, but I like it!  It has wonderful strappy detail, and is rather … cheeky.

Midgar II has a lovely slightly-dystopian feel to it that seems right at home for a huntress in the city streets.  Perhaps you might pair it with a few pistols… or a couple of long knives.  I have slightly different weapons in mind, though.

It was close, so close she could smell it in the air… she was closing in, there would be no escape this time.

She followed the scent of her prey until she found it in along the market street, bathed in neon light, waiting for her.  She licked her lips in anticipation…

  • <K&S> — Loveliness #1 pose

… the dim sum would finally be hers.

Aloha!  A hui hou kākou!

Hello lovelies!  Here’s the latest group gift from WellMade.  Their group is FREE to join, and there are a number of past group gifts available.  Also, there are a number of group gifts for various promotion groups right there in the store too (for example, SLF&O, etc).  You should run over and check them out!

The top and shorts are separates.  There are sizes for Lara, Freya, Venus, Isis, classic fitmesh small, medium, and large, Hourglass, Physique, Curvy, and Fine.

The top comes with a HUD with two textures, the one shown here and a bigger version of sunflowers.  I like this one 🙂

The fit is perfect, especially on the shorts.

Cherish

This is another past group gift from Queenz.  Their group if FREE to join.

The top and skirt are separates and come in sizes for Lara, Katena, eBody Curvy, Physique, Hourglass, Isis, Freya, and Venus.

Included is a ten color HUD allowing you to texture the skirt and top separately.

There are some minor clipping issues with the hem of the skirt, but as you can see from these photos, most of the time it falls quite well, looking at worst as if the skirt is slit.

 

 

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!

 

Rave

blue LotD

Every now and then I love playing DnB or trance music and having a bit of a rave.  I’ve shown you all these clothes before, but when I put this combo together for a dance party, I thought it was worth photographing for you!

I think the contrast between the lace bra and the leather shorts and boots really makes this work.  I sure like it as a look, although the boots might keep you a little too warm at an RL rave lol

P.S. No zebras were harmed in the making of these photos 🙂

Minimum coverage

blue LotD

This minimal coverage one piece swimsuit is L$1 on marketplace.

It comes in sizes for Lara, Venus, and Eve Slim.  It also hase a universal color hud to tint the straps, bottoms, and trim from the default white to whatever you like.

However, as you might expect, you get what you pay for, and this is only L$1 🙂

There are noticeable issues with the mesh, including no smoothing (you can see the triangles clearly if you cam closely), and no back faces on the straps, so they are mostly invisible from behind.  Having said that, the rigging is pretty good, with only minor clipping in extreme poses.

Induce

blue LotD

I mentioned that Queenz have a number of past group gifts available.  This is another super gift from them, and don’t forget, their group is FREE to join!

The top and skirt are separates, and come in sizes for Lara, Hourglass, Physique, Isis, Venus, Freya, eBody Curvy, and Katena.  There is also a ten color HUD that allows you to set the colors for the top and the skirt separately, as well as choose gold or silver for the metal ring highlights.

I think I’m a better photographer in the studio compared to outdoors 🙂

Evasive

blue LotD

This is a recent group gift from Queenz.  Their group if FREE to join, and there are a number of past group gifts available!

The dress comes in sizes for Lara, eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Hourglass, Physique, and Katena regular.
