Waiting

Is her lover late, and the hour waning?  Has she given up hope?

Alaska Metro  offers Jolene, a beautiful applier bodysuit and Nyla, some fantastic stockings for your pleasure.  The bodysuit is gorgeous and available in three different colours, but I think I might love the stockings even more.  They’re available in five colours, each coming with an optional garter belt and versions with/without lace tops.  The attention to detail here is amazing: the stockings have backseams and reinforced heal and toe.  The garter versions are even stretched at the clips!  WOW!

Visit Alaska Metro at anyBODY and on9.  You won’t be sorry!

Perhaps… it has been a disappointing night.
But perhaps not.  Perhaps her lover is on the way home bringing pizza.  She’s ready to run to the door, and greet in the best way.

It’s my story… and I think I’d like it to end that way.  Pizza and kisses?  Yum.

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

Daughter of the sea

All life comes from the Sea.

  • Spyralle — Waverider Green Flash tattoo, fins, drape and crown
  • Luminesse — Sea Turtle Green Agate necklace & earrings
  • Exposeur Props and Poses — February Gift 15-6M pose (Marketplace Link)

When Kerryth at Spyralle came out with Waverider in mesh fins and Omega appliers (or standard SL layers) I thought WOW!  All it needs is a tail to be a perfect mermaid.  I’ve been on the hunt for a tail to a) complement it, and b) work with a mesh body ever since.

.:!EVolved creatures!:. came to the rescue, with a Bento enabled tail.   This tail waves so very smoothly, it is a joy to swim!

EVolved creatures has really put together a remarkable tail even without Bento.  MErmaid tail #1 features an amazing HUD that allows you to adjust glow, transparency, and alpha of the fins, belt, and scales.  There’s a skin blender at the waist, and an amazing selection of scale patterns.  I’ve shown a lightning-y one above — it’s my favourite as I think it complements Kerryth’s Waverider patterns (lightning is awfully fractal in nature, you know).  I thought I’d show you a few other options as well, though.

You can’t see the full crown so well with Calico‘s Talia hair, but it features a band across the forehead with fins from the side, and the same fractal motif as the body tattoo.  Luminesse‘s green agate Sea Turtle jewelry completes the ensemble.

I’ll admit, I took WAY too many pics of this, but I have so totally fallen in love with this outfit, both with and without the tail.  There are a host of pictures on flickr, and I’ll post more over the next few days.

Please go try out EVolved creatures‘s tail, there’s a 1L demo.  It doesn’t feature the HUD, but you can see how well it fits and how well it moves.  One quick note — the Bento tail can misbehave a bit on mermaid dances and animations (although it does fine on poses).  This is a Bento issue, and Tithis at EVolved is aware of it and working on the problem.  There will be a free update when it’s solved!

From this wahine hiʻu iʻa to all of you, aloha kakou!  Mahalo! A hui hou!

 


Gilding the Lily

Newness at the Fantasy Gacha Carnival!  Silvan Moon Designs offers Lily of Dellhollow, a beautiful new mesh outfit in multiple independent components — top, vest, belt, skirt and pareo.

Lily is offered in three commons (aqua, pink, green) and rare red!  As with all the lovely SMD offerings, it comes in standard mesh sizes plus Maitreya and  SLink fitmesh.

You might know, it takes a lot to get me to wear red, as it often clashes with my ginger…. but the Lily gacha rare is stunning.  Add a ribbon from .wound to complete the look!

SMD offers a lot of role-play and period pieces, but this is one of those that I can see wearing on a much wider basis.  Solas and Bee keep coming out with amazing work.  Visit the Fantasy Gacha Carnival, and stop by Silvan Moon Designs and give them some love!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!


The light of dawn

Sister of Selene, goddess of the Moon, and  Helios, god of the Sun is Eos, goddess of the dawn.  Spyralle‘s  Eos is just as bright and beautiful as her namesake!

  • Spyralle — Eos gown, updated with Omega appliers
  • Luminesse — Sea Turtle Purple/Green/Orange Agate necklace & earrings
  • [L.Warwick] — Savannah Ankle Strapped Heels (Grape Leather)
  • GLITTER — May Group Gift #2 pose

I love Luminesse’s honu Sea Turtle jewelry sets! They are bright and cheery and feel like they are at once casual and fancy — or can be, whichever you need.  And when you are wearing purple hair, that’s exactly the flexibility you want!

Kerryth has updated Eos with Omega appliers, although it’s still available in SL clothing layers.  It features several different flexi add-on pieces to complete the gown, gauzy and gorgeous!

Stop by Spyralle and take a look at her Omega-updated outfits, as well as all of the beautiful mesh.  Mahalo!  A hui hou!

Stars and sand

The skies darken as night falls on the beach, but the stars stay bright wherever you are in this happy little romper from Petite Mort!  Sabina was a 2016 group gift that I wanted to share with you, and I’m finally getting around to it!

Sabina  is still available right now at the old location, but might not be if you wait.  The store is in the process of moving, and that will happen SOON!   The new landmark is HERE: Petite Mort (new location).  I wouldn’t count on the gifts still being out once the move is completed!

Hot as ice, cold as flame

When ice and flame get together, something is going to get steamy.  Dressed by Lexi is sending up risque sparks with Risque, group gift for the month of January!  Quick, there are only a few days left!

I decided to augment this with a lovely necklace from an older outfit by Lexi.  Tantalise features a colour-change HUD to match the dress, a necklace and earrings as well as arm cuffs.  The low pendent back of the necklace is perfect for Risque’s low back.

Risque is offered in Omega appliers and standard layers for that sexy painted-on look.  It features beautiful flexi skirting, giving the gown that beautiful swish that is absolutely glamorous at the ball.

  • GLITTER — Back Pose (Pose Lover event gift)

Blue Flame is offered as a group gift, but there are four other colours plus jewelry and shoes for sale at reduced prices for the month!  Stop by Dressed by Lexi today!

Soft and warm

I don’t know about you, but Advent leaves me with a mess of an inventory that I slowly work my way through!  Baby Monkey had a delightful suite of gifts for Advent 2016, including the lovely Raffaela sweater dress and boots. 

You’ve seen me with .wound‘s ribbon choker before — it’s one of my favourite pieces.  It comes in three different HUD-driven palettes — vibrant, dark (shown) and a neutrals.  Each one comes with unscripted and RLV versions.  Unfortunately, while the RLV version works, it’s an older RLV script and is not updateable.   Nevertheless, this is the best ribbon I’ve found!

  • K&SDance 5 pose

The high suede boots have a lovely little shroud at the heel.  Maybe not practical in the snowy slush… but oooo so cute!

Take a look on flickr for a few more images, including my favourites.  If you’re not a member of Baby Monkey you should definitely free up a group slot.  Over the past few years I have loved watching Pixie’s creations keep getting better and better!

A splash of warmth

Yes, I can celebrate the ice and snow one day and the warmth and the surf the next — or a couple days later, anyway!  Spyralle‘s lovely mu’umu’u is perfect for enjoying the late afternoon Sun.  And it’s just perfect to welcome Oahu back to SL.  I don’t know how long it’s been back, but this happy little sim holds a place dear to my heart, and I was sad when it closed up about a year ago!

Spyralle‘s lovely styles and wonderful gifts will thrill you throughout the year.  Stop by, become a member, and enjoy Kerryth’s fine work.  If you’re not familiar with how Kerryth runs the group, Spyralle‘s VIP group alternates between free and a fee.  When there’s a gift offered, there’s a charge, and when there’s no active group gift, it’s free.  You can wait until it’s free, but I have to tell you: there is a HOST of lovely gifts — including this mu’umu’u — available to members right now.  It’s so worth joining and holding on to that membership.  I’m not sure how long the gifts will be there, so I hope you take advantage of it right away!

Happy Monday, my friends.  Hold Aloha in your hearts, it will warm you any day of the week, every week of the year!  Mahalo!  A hui hou!
