Snuggle kitten

There’s something special about the holiday, it’s an excuse to cuddle up and be snuggly, to not have to leave the house — watching the snow fall outside, knowing how cold and dark it is out there… and how warm and bright it is in here.


Aeon’s pose is an older unnamed group gift from K&S poses

Aloha kākou! Mele Kalikimaka!

I just stumbled across some wonderful things from a creator that’s new to me, and I just had to share them with you! This is the beautiful Andie Rib Knit top from Carpe Noctem. I’ll confess, that I don’t usually go for crop top — my tummy gets too cold! But this is SOOOO cute that I just fell in love with it.


Aeon’s pose is Restore the Soul from Luanes World 

Andie comes in 20 beautiful colours and 10 patterns. Here’s my favourite part: you can get all of them individually! None of this “you have to buy the fatpack to get these patterns/colours that you really want”… no, you just get what you want — or you get the lovely reasonable HUD-driven fatpack if you want them all! I just love the kittens, but there are a bunch of wonderful colours that I adore, too. It’s also available in Lara Petite (as well as other sizes), so YAY!


Aeon’s pose is Been Strong Too Long from Luanes World

I completed my cuddly look with some leggings and Uggs from Baby Monkey. They’re older pieces, but they still look great and completely snuggly.

It’s always so much fun to find new joys, particularly in this holiday season! Merry Christmas, everyone! Mele Kalikimaka!

The glow of the season

The season of light, the season of joy, the season of peace… may it fill you and hold you, and keep you.

Aloha kākou! Mele Kalikimaka! There’s nothing like a beautiful new gown for the yule ball, so let me share this wonderful one with you from Bee and Solace at Silvan Moon Designs. Royal Yule Gown is available at We Love Role Play for the month of December.

Royal Yule is available for Maitreya Lara and Slink Physique bodies only, but comes in your choice of seven wonderful colours. Each features a lovely gown and overskirt as separate pieces.

I complemented this with the Snowfall necklace and earrings from EarthStones. It feels perfectly sparkly — just wonderful for a Solstice dance!

I wish you all a wonderful season. There are many of us who have been struggling — and many who struggle still. It will be a hard year for many of us who can’t travel due to COVID… but the spirit of the season — whatever holidays you may celebrate — can still fill us with light and peace.

If you have the chance, please visit the wonderful Christmas sim at Calas. It’s a little smaller than last year, I think, but none the less wonderful in its magic.

Aloha! A hui hou kākou!

Through a disaster of record keeping, I managed to lose my pose information — I blame an unfortuitous system shutdown before I managed to save my log file. I’m sorry to all of the wonderful pose creators!

Surrounded by the light

With the closing of the year comes a light in the darkness, the hope of a new start, a better world.


Aeon’s pose is Loveliness #4 from K&S poses

Aloha kākou! Perhaps we’re still a month off from the Solstice, from Christmas, from Hanukkah, from the Season of Light… but it’s been a difficult year, and the light and hope that that season brings can’t come too early for me.

Bee and Solace from Silvan Moon Designs bring us the lovely Prima Donna gown, a lovely exclusive at Enchanted this month.


Aeon’s pose is Lolita 2 from ZIPI Poses

Prima Donna comes in seven beautiful colours. I fell in love with several of them… but the holiday feeling hit me so strongly that I just had to share Emerald with you. The Holly crown from .AiShA. and the Pointsettia ‘n Bells necklace and earrings from EarthStones just matched too perfectly to miss!


Aeon’s pose is Kimono-F2 from Happy Dispatch Animation

And lastly… please stop by and visit the lovely Savor Serenity sim. My dear friend Gidgy is one of the most wonderful sim builders I know. Please stop by and enjoy the beauty there!

My lovely friends, don’t miss a single opportunity to find joy, to encourage joy. Aloha nō!

In the shadow of Karnak

She walks with the footsteps of a goddess.

Aloha kākou! This is one of those outfits/costumes/looks that sprang to mind almost instantly when I first saw the Damned tattoo set from Fallen Gods. I already had the beautiful Pure skin in the Abyssia colour scheme, a perfect beautiful blue. When the two came together, it was the most magical gold-detailed lapis… and lapis is one of my two favourite precious stones.

The rest came together in bits and pieces. A waist wrap from Meli Imako, a top from r2 A/D/E. A beautiful scarab necklace from Spyralle. And, of course, the beautiful sim at Terra Egypta provided the best setting I could imagine.

This is the second time I’ve tried shooting this skin/tattoo — the first time I was not happy with the results, a creative vision that was not quite right. I’ve changed the clothing, jewelry, all much for the better.

And for all that… I’m still not quite satisfied. I’ll have to play with this some more, but for the time being, I’m pretty pleased.

Through a disaster of record keeping, I managed to lose my pose and windlight information. I’m still hoping to find the list, and will edit this post if/when I do!

Aloha, my friends. I’ll be back more as soon as I can be!

Upon the precipice there is beauty

Mayhap we walk upon the precipice… keep your feet steady, breathe softly, and never close your eyes to the beauty that surrounds you.


Aeon’s pose is It’s a Way from Shi.S Poses

Aloha kākou!

In times of stress and anxiety, sometimes we all need to step back for a few minutes and remember grandeur, to remember peace, to remember beauty. It’s been weeks since I’ve been able to visit with you, but stepping into a beautiful field of flowers reminds me of where my heart lies.

Silvan Moon Designs brings you a new variation on an old design in the beautiful Abyssia of Witchwood this month at We Love Role Play! Abyssia is sized for Lara bodies, and comes in six beautiful colours.


Aeon’s pose is The Bella Series – One (m) from an lar [poses]

I fell in love with the deep colours as soon as I saw them. The beautiful leaf motif called for some summery leaves here before autumn begins, so I complemented the gown with the Nature’s Splendour necklace and earrings from EarthStones. As with so many of Earthstones’ beautiful pieces, Nature’s Splendour features a texture-change HUD that allows you to choose a variety of stone textures for the leaves in three different sets.

September is on the downhill slope, but you’ve still got a month to stop by We Love Role Play to find this treasure and many more.

I hope to be back with you more frequently, my wonderful friends! Until next time, mālama pono kākou! Take care, everyone, be safe and healthy. A hui hou!

Aliana’s stars

Gathering for a fancy ball seems like it may be a lifetime ago… but the stars still look down in glittering splendour, and the crickets and frogs and nightingales still sing their evensong… it is up for us to decide to dance.

Bee and Solas from Silvan Moon Designs have a wonderful new gown for you at We Love Role Play! The Lady Aliana is sized for Maitreya and SLink bodies, and comes in eight beautiful colours


Aeon’s pose is Feel the Magic #2 from Luanes World

Bare shoulders give an opportunity for some larger jewelry. I really love the Hawaiian-themed Mokolea jewelry set from Luminesse. I’m wearing the dark blue Maluhia set here, as it seemed to catch the colours of the gown just right.

a path is for straying

A path… is like lines on a colouring page. To some, it may represent the way to a destination… to others, it simply marks the boundary between the known… and what is waiting to be discovered.


Aeon’s pose is Winter Spirit 02 from *Eternal Dream*

Aloha kākou my wonderful friends! It’s been a very busy few weeks, but I finally have some new pics to share with you. But first some good news — the wonderful Kerryth at Spyralle is recuperating after surgery according to a note sent out last week to her group. I finally get around to showing one of her latest creations, the Living Stepping Stones.


Aeon’s pose is Furimuki #2 (mirror) from Snow White and the Seven Kitties

The stones come in six different palettes to suit your building needs, and each colour has one-stone, two-stone, and three-stone settings. They’re resizeable and copyable, and 1 LI each in the default size (mine here are downsized about 20%) so you can create the perfect path in the woods without breaking your parcel limit! I laid these out at my friend Gidgy’s lovely sim. While you won’t find the stones still there, you should certainly find yourself there… and you will surely find a little piece of serenity to fill you.

I hope that your day is as beautiful as you are! Keep shining brightly my friends! A hui hou kākou!

A Masque for Life

 

A mask protects, a mask hides… and a masque tantalises….


Aeon’s pose is Winter Spirit 02 from *Eternal Dream*

Aloha kākou!

I have a wonderful little couple of things to share with you today, a beautiful mask from Kerryth at Spyralle and a beautiful new updo from Magika.

The Masque of Summer is a wonderful mask, perfect for a midsummer’s… masque — for the ball, beautiful gowns swaying under the stars as the orchestra plays. Kerryth’s Masque of Summer is unrigged mesh: it can be resized and positioned for your face, and comes in six different lovely patterns. Each one has a HUD for choosing gem and metal colour to tailor it to your look. You can find it at We Love Role Play this month for another few days!


Aeon’s pose is Summer Breeze 5 (rev) from Stardust

I also get to share this quick pick-up — the Midnight updo from Magika. Magika is coming out with some new hairstyles with some very life-like texturing. I really love this one. I don’t have really close-up shots of it to share: Firestorm on a linux system has a known but that causes some triangular rendering errors in some meshes with alphas. I’ve got it on great authority (my assistant today who held the lights for me) that the triangles that I could see were completely invisible to her on her windows machine. It looks really wonderful, and I’m really excited for new styles from Magika soon!


Aeon’s pose is The Mirror Pose from Shi.S Poses

One last note, my wonderful friends. My friend, the beautiful and talented Kerryth, owner and creative force of Spyralle announced to her group that she is facing some rather serious health issues. Please keep her in your thoughts, your prayers if you have them. She has not shared prognosis, but keep her and her loved ones in your thoughts.

Mahalo nui kākou! A hui hou!

Oracle of the Star

The astronomer, arranger of the stars, at the centre of her observatory… every move a dance of planets, comets, stars, galaxies… atoms. She is one with the sky, the cosmos, the universe.

Welina mai kākou! Hau’oli Pō’alima!

Bee and Solas at Silvan Moon Designs bring a wonderful treat to We Love Role Play this month: the Seventh Oracle, a two-piece gown available in sixe beautiful colours.


Aeon’s pose is Ostara 4 (rev) from Poseidon Poses

Oracle comes in two pieces, a gown and gauzy overgown that gives a beautiful appearance as you move about. I paired the Cobalt colour with the Night necklace and earring set from *N@N@*.

I built the lovely little venue with a set of goodies from Fallen Gods. The Garden Planetarium dome/pavilion was a quest gift from the 2020 Fantasy Faire, and other items (including the dome skybox) are from the 12th FF Mementos box from Fallen Gods.

As an oracle, I forsee that this is just the perfect gown to accentuate your mysterious beauty, this one is wonderful.

Dark skies… and new beginnings

The darkest fiercest storm will break over us like an angry cry, but we will weather the storm and breathe deep the scent of the passing rain… welcoming a world bathed in peace and light and song

Welina mai kākou! Hau’oli Pō’alua!

Kerryth at Spyralle had brought us the beautiful Song of the Sun and Song of the Moon totems for the 2020 Fantasy Faire back in May, and introduces us to two more members of the family, the Song of the Storm and the Song of the Rainbow for SL17B, the birthday celebration for SL’s 17th year!

I really love both of the Songs, but I had to add just a little bit to the Song of the Storm. Fortunately, Kerryth has just the thing — the Daemon Light was inspired by a passage from Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, and is a rigged mesh piece meant to be worn.  When rezzed and positioned on Storm,  it makes the lightning detail on the totem come alive.  Daemon Light is animated so that it flickers, so it’s a perfect dynamic touch to add to Song of the Storm on your sim!

As you know, I tend to really love shooting on-site, but it’s a different game when you’re not working with any live subject. It’s fun to think about the scene as the subject of the shot… and to find the story.

Stop by SL17B and take a look at Spyralle’s booth. Whether you’re looking for something unique to wear or the right touches for your home, you might just find more than you were looking for.

Keep a song in your heart and in your home! A hui hou kākou!
