Fantasy Faire 2019: Darkna le’ Draegon

Aeon Events, Fashion, Reviews

In times of great need, we arise to meet tasks we never thought we could shoulder.

I’ll admit it, when I play D&D or other role-playing games (have you played Pathfinder ACG?  OMG so much fun!), I’m always playing the archer, or a sorceress, or a rogue…. never the fighter, never the swordswoman.  I just… never envisioned myself that way.

But Darkna le’ Drageon from Whymsical Marketplace is enough to change a girl’s point-of-view, and it’s on sale at Fantasy Faire 2019 now!

This armour set is designed for fitmesh, but also has rigged mesh pieces in three sizes.  You’re nearly guaranteed to be able to assemble your outfit from this!

  • {Way} — Aline R. 01 pose

This is an amazing little reminder to leave yourself open to things that might not have originally felt like you.  I definitely need to unleash a little bad-ass at various points in RL sometimes!  What a great way to channel my inner warrior, even if I probably can’t even lift that sword, let alone swing it!

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!

Fantasy Faire 2019: Adieu (but not goodbye!!!)

Aeon Events

Not everything at Fantasy Faire is fantasy or sci-fi related!  Adieu Grunges is a lovely minidress and corset from Mishmash Fusion that fits well in nearly any contemporary setting!

  • Mishmash Fusion — Adieu Grunges minidress & corset (8 texture hud) (Feya/Isis/Venus/Lara/Hourglass/Physique/Curvy/Fine/Standard fitmesh)
  • EarthStones — Tumbled Stones (Spectrum) necklace, earrings and bracelet
  • Maitreya — Zoie boots (black)
  • *Eternal Dream* — Winter Spirit 04 pose

It’s a lovely little minidress… just cheeky enough!

Fantasy Faire 2019: Aetheria

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews

I hope you’re not tired of hearing about Fantasy Faire 2019 yet, because… it’s going to be a long two weeks here otherwise.

She walked to the edge of the pool, feeling the cool water over her tired feet, soaking the hem of her gown.  The responsibilities of the Court retreating for just a while as the peace of the pool soaks her soul.

Solas and Bee at Silvan Moon Designs present Aetheria, a beautifully detailed gown for Fantasy Faire.  It comes in fitmesh for Maitreya and SLink bodies, and is available in three colour choices.

AiShA offers these wonderful Kraken bracelet rings for the Faire.  I really love interesting arm and hand jewelry, and this suits just fine.  I suspect if you’re a Game of Thrones fan it might have other significance, but it would also look right at home for your mermaid to be wearing these lovely he’e.

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!

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

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews

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…

… the dim sum would finally be hers.

Aloha!  A hui hou kākou!

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!

Eclipse

Aeon Fashion, Reviews

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 Gods — Lumina 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!

Stargazer

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews

Aloha kākou!  Hello, my friends!  I wanted to share a little lovely outfit from Jazabelle Boutique!  Stargazer 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!
