What’s happening in Second Life?

Cosmic dreams

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews, Sponsored

My lovely aunty Kie Dagger found the most beautiful flirty dress from -Pixiecat- and thought of me!  Dreamy comes in 10 lovely textures, two of which feature an animated overlayer!

I paired Dreamy with the new lovely iridescent Lyra leggings from Alaska Metro.  They’re in Maitreya and Omega appliers as well as standard layers, and come in six beautiful colours — three pleather and three iridescent holo shades.  You can find them at ~~Applique~~!

You can’t see it in the stills, but the little stars on the Dreamy dress are on an animated layer.  They drift serenely slowly over the nebula dress texture, in a very subtle classy way.   The other animated dress, “Clouds”, does much the same thing.

Stop by -Pixiecat- and take a look.  There are a bunch of lovely things I want to try out myself!  And please take a look around ~~Applique~~, there are some lovely things there for the finding!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

A tale as old as time

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews, Sponsored

Solas and Bee at Silvan Moon Designs have created a new magical gown for the latest round of Enchantment.  The theme this round is the story of Beauty and the Beast, and Solas and Bee have created Belle’s Enchanted Ball Gown just for the occasion!

Belle’s Enchanted Ball Gown comes in six lovely colours and fitmesh for both SLink bodies and Maitreya Lara.  Still no fitmesh for Belleza bodies; hopefully Solas will start supporting those soon!

Kerryth at Spyralle really creates some finely-detailed jewelry, and the Like Gentle Tears tiara just magically seems to suit this gown.  Rain features a five-colour HUD that allows you to tint the hanging crystals in five shimmery light shades. 

The Enchantment sim is really something rather amazing, the builders have put a lot of work into creating the scene, and many merchants (such as Solas and Bee) have created lovely pieces just for this event.  Stop by and take a look!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

The little vest is a separate mesh piece, and opens up the possibility for a litle mix-and-match if you pick up different colours.

There’s always lovely things at We Love Role Play, and Silvan Moon Designs never disappoints.  Stop by today and explore, you never know what other treasure you might find.

Macabre underpinnings

Aeon Events, Fashion, Reviews, Sponsored

Everything needs a good underpinnings, a strong foundation… what’s holding you up?  Melora and Oubliette have some lovely Slick Leggings for you at  Suicide Dollz right now!

Oubliette‘s beautiful fitmesh leggings have some amazing texture to them — these aren’t appliers, you can see the little wrinkles and ridges to them!  They’ve also got a nice glossy sheen that comes out very nicely in the photos.  Slick Leggings come in your choice of 10 wonderfully dark textures, as well as a fatpack featuring a bonus texture.

JHC‘s Faunwest boots are cute little ankle boots, but they’re a bit disappointing.  I know, it’s dark enough that you can hardly see them here, and that’s not entirely an accident.  The ad claims that they work with a variety of mesh bodies, but they are NOT fitmesh rigged, they appear to simply be several different copies that have been size-adjusted to be ‘close’ to right.  That’s not bad, but it took a bit more adjustment to get it just right for my own body size/shape.

These are some really lovely leggings, and in enough different textures that you’re sure to find one or two or ten that are just perfect for your sense of the darke.  Stop by Suicide Dollz and take a look!

Hyperborean Chieftan

I make it a point not to re-blog old items, but sometimes you have to.  I first blogged the Snowmoon Silk Road tunic and pants from Spyralle almost two years ago — just a few weeks shy of two years.  Do you want a good laugh?  Go back and take a look at that post!

There’s a good reason to come back to the Silk Road tunic — Kerryth has created Eagle of the Snows, a new headdressb designed to complement Snowmoon, and it’s available only at Genre!

  • Spyralle — Eagle of the Snows Headdress, exclusive for Genre!
  • Spyralle — Silk Road II Tunic (Snow Moon) and Trousers (Midnight)
  • Baby Monkey — Debbi Boot
  • Dragonsfyre — Sky Nation Native American War Lance
  • [Kikay] — Lolita Gothic D pose

Eagle of the Snows has a number of wonderful options!  There is a removable mask-like portion (shown attached above, and removed, below).  There is also a texture HUD that allows three different pattern choices for the front and side gems.

The War Lance from Dragonsfyre was just what I needed to complete the ensemble.  It’s very nicely done, my only problem was that while resizeable, the minimum size was too big for a “normal” sized avatar (that is, my height of just under 2 m tall).  No problems, I was able to edit -> edit linked and resize the staff and adjust the feathers just right!

Okay, now for the bad news.  This is the last time for Genre!  Spyralle has been a part of Genre for a very long time, and Eagle of the Snows is a bit of a good-bye to this wonderful event.

Do stop by, let’s give Genre a good send-off!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

It’s time for  The Trunk Show, and Bee and Solace at Silvan Moon Designs bring you Winter Splendour!

Winter Splendour comes in your choice of eight fabulous colours, some subtle (such as Ice, shown) and some bright and strong.  These are beautiful, and well suited for the Winter Dance!

Once again, Bee and Solace at Silvan Moon Designs create a beautiful gown perfect for the season!   The Trunk Show is open now, so  stop by and pick up the demo today, and find your own winter spirit!

Christmas Redemption

blue Events

This is my entry in the Flawless Collective Christmas photo competition, which closed last Friday.  I just happened to have used a nice bodysuit by Entice to set up a fallen angel themed outfit for a contest recently, so I thought I’d use that to do an entry.  The rules were simple, take a photo on one of the three sims from the Collective (this was taken at the Entice sim) and be wearing a piece of clothing from one of the Collective’s stores.

There were two main categories for entries, SL snapshots and retouched photos.  Obviously mine is in the latter category as I like to take huge pics in SL (usually around 4200 x 2200 pixels) so I can get good detail, save them to disk, then crop and resize them in Gimp.  For this photo, I also used Darktable to do some color balance, some sharpening, and to get more control over background blur than SL would allow me.  I also added some hair with my meager drawing skills.  As usual, I’m using a projector light to get the lighting effects on the avatar and the ground.

In addition to the two main categories, if a photo doesn’t win the grand prize, it automatically get considered for three themed prizes: most creative, best showing of holiday spirit, and best display of product.  Strangely, by doing a photo of the redemption of a fallen angel at Christmas time wearing a bodysuit by Entice, I think I have all of those covered lol

I can’t wait to see the results, which should be announced on either the 18th of December or the following Friday, as “Friday December 18th” as stated on their web page doesn’t exist on my calendar, at least for this year!

Here’s what I’m wearing:
