At the mercy of the night

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!


Mimi

This is the latest group gift from Blueberry.

The dress comes in sizes for Lara, Physique, Hourglass, Venus, Isis, and Freya.  It also comes with a massive HUD that allows you to texture the panties and dress separately.  There are 29 lace colors for the panties, and you can hide them if you prefer some of your own.  For the dress, there are 29 plain colors, 32 prints, and 10 ombres!  That’s really a lot!

Yet another fantastic gift from Blueberry!


Fauna

Long ago, I did a set of promo photos for Catty at Catseye, featuring her wonderful faun kit.  Those photos aren’t on the blog, but the photos I did when I originally got the outfit are.  Recently, I became aware that Catty had updated the kit to include fittings for lots more mesh bodies, including Kemono.  So here we are with a look at this wonderful kit again.

The kit includes the legs, left and right unrigged hooves only (so you can wear them with pants), ears, two styles of horns, the tail, and a major HUD to tint and change everything to your liking.

There are rigged legs for the following (takes a deep breath): Adam, Avatar 2.0, Freya, Venus/Isis (one size fits both), classic male and female avis, Gianni, Hella Hips, Kemono, Kemono Chubby Body, Kemono Fitted Torso, Lara, Hourglass, Physique (male and female), Snaggletooth, Solarian (female, male, and femboy), Thunder Thighs (large, medium and small), TMP (male and female), and Ulukie BBW.  Whew!

The toga is from ACroft, and is only for Kemono Fitted Torso.  It’s L$99 on marketplace.  As with a lot of things for Kemono, it’s modify and has a bunch of included textures, plus a link to download a mod kit if you want to do your own textures.  The pack also include a pair of unrigged panties, but you’ll need good editing skills to get them to fit just right.


Eclipse

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 GodsLumina 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!


Sporty

Hello my sweets!  Today I have a set of sports undies to show you!

These are very nicely done, except they could be just a little tighter.  Other than that, the fit is great.  They come in sizes for Lara, Freya, Isis, Venus, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP.  The bra and panties are separates.

These are a group gift from BBK, and their group is FREE to join.


TP gift from Sass

This little top is a gift for members of teleporthub.com.   This group is a mere L$10 to join, and you’ve heard me say it before, there are dozens of gifts scattered across the grid for you when you join.

The top is only in sizes for Lara and Hourglass.  Included is a ten color HUD in black, white, and eight nice pastels.  While it’s rigged nicely, with the straps being off-shoulder, there are some minor problems with them.  But you know…

I’m going to use it as a night dress, so, who cares? 🙂


Mildred

This fabulous outfit is the current group gift from Seniha.  Their group is FREE to join.

The top and pants are separates, and come in sizes for Lara, Freya, Isis, and Hourglass.

There are two variations of both the top and pants as separate objects (rather than a HUD).  I really like the belted frilled top pants 🙂


Stargazer

Aloha kākou!  Hello, my friends!  I wanted to share a little lovely outfit from Jazabelle BoutiqueStargazer is a wonderful ensemble with the most amazing jacket and maxi skirt that’s sure to make your statement.

Our very own Jaz has been putting out quite a few full ensemble outfits lately with a variety of options, and this one is no exception.  It features a full outfit, with bandeau top, the lovely jacket, necklace, boots, and a choice of mini or maxi skirt.  I totally adore the jacket… perfect for any astronomer… and every dreamer.

  • Jazabelle Boutique — Stargazer complete outfit (jacket, bandeau top, maxi and miniskirts, necklace and boots) (Lara fitmesh only)
  • [Kikay]look up! pose

It may be a bit hazy to use my telescope tonight, but there are other pretty shinies to enjoy.

The maxi skirt has the most wonderful animated starry texture: the stars swirl about you in a slow but noticeable fashion.  While long mesh dresses and maxis can be… awkward… to dance in, this one is nicely rigged, and dances gentle dances quite well.  That said, I probably wouldn’t try a dance that’s too flamboyant!

Stargazer is at Jazabelle’s in-world shop now.  Stop by and take a look around, Jaz has been having a lot of fun putting things together for your enjoyment!

Mahalo!  A hui hou kākou!


Darkness again

And yet another hunt item from The Darkness Inside Hunt.  When I get on a roll with a hunt, I certainly get on a roll 🙂

This is a very simple mini dress, in sizes for Lara, Physique, Hourglass, Isis, Freya, and Venus.  The real win on this hunt item find is the boots, which come in sizes for each of the bodies mentioned!

The lacing on the boots is really nice.  I wonder if there is a corset lacing plugin for Blender?  lol
