What’s happening in Second Life?

The Courtesan

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews, Sponsored

Night,
dark, soft, alluring,
spinner of dreams I want to be lost in,
is a kindhearted courtesan,
who never demanded anything
for all her loving, that to me
was like a swim in the pool
of “Ananda” I was searching for.

I climbed her door steps
with the silent footfalls of a cat,
all these years for solace,
when the fair lass ,
regaled by my songs evening after evening,
scoffed and taunted,
when I fell wounded
in duels of life, I was forced to fight
to keep my honor intact.

Once,
seeing me left in the lurch,
blood soaked and badly wounded
she led my tired legs
to her house of magic and secret treasure hunts,
blessed me with oblivion, till I woke up.
Her mansion became
arena of silent dances of wounded memories,
till sun appeared above misty mountains
cheering me up with new promises,
but my thoughts never left her.
I spent my darkest hours
in her house,
thrilled by dreams she induced,
in which under moonbeams
princesses gathered,
bubbling fine wine brimmed
in sparkling glasses,
I felt the most loved man
within her tender arms.
I would wait for the night, my sullied lover,
to arrive with her hands of breeze,
to tousle my hair and caress my face.
Night  took away my pains,
her lasciviousness is the only drink,
that makes me ask for more.
She is not only mine,
as a courtesan, she needs to entertain
whoever seeks her,
But when I am with her,
she is all mine.

(Night is a Kind Hearted Courtesan, by K. Balachandran)

sweet and tangy

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews

SWANK‘s July theme is “Tropical Heat”, and Albino Peacock offers Nanihi, a perfect wrap skirt and top for your trip to the beach!  It’s as sweet and tangy as a pineapple!

Nanihi is available in five different lovely textures, and is sized in the five standard rigged-mesh sizes, as well as five corresponding fitmesh sizes and fitmesh for Belleza, Maitreya, and SLink.  

Nanihi is a Tahitian name, generally translated as “total woman” or “complete woman”…. this outfit sure feels that way!  Stop by SWANK today, we’re running out of July.  But there are so many lovely things there that you’ll never run out of Summer!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

Le Carnivale Baroque

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews, Sponsored

Our favourite period-piece designers, Silvan Moon Designs, have created a beautiful suite of gowns for the current We Love RolePlay!  Le Carnivale Baroque gown is a two-piece mesh gown in fitmesh for both SLink bodies, Maitreya, and the standard SL body as well.   Each has an unrigged bow at the bodice that can be adjusted for the perfect fit.

Bee and Solace have created seven beautiful colours so you’re sure to find the one that’s right for you.  Both the mesh and the textures are exquisite, as you’ve come to expect from Silvan Moon.  

The brocade on the front and the lace in the overskirt are just gorgeous.

Le Carnivale Baroque is discounted 25% for the WLRP event!  Don’t miss out!

A touch of darke

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews, Sponsored

I’ve been blogging about Petite Mort for a while now, but I don’t know how many of you know about Melora’s more recent venture, Oubliette!  Oubliette has a different flavour than Petite Mort, a bit of goth, a bit of darkness — or as one of my favourite book series says, “darkeness”.  That darkeness fires Lucretia, an exclusive art-deco inspired gown for the Midsummer Enchantment event!

Lucretia comes in fitmesh sizes for Maitreya, TMP, both SLink and all three Belleza bodies, and there’s a lovely palette of six colours for you to choose from.

  • {Way} — Katherine 03 pose

I really love the beautiful way that Melora has worked the angular lines of the dress into the more flowery curves at the top and at the hem.   That’s always seemed the beautiful paradox of art deco to me, drawing from art nouveau, merging the linear and the curved.

Stop by Midsummer Enchantment, visit Oubliette, and revel in the darke.

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

Second Chances

Sometimes things slip by, a little bit lost in the shuffle.  Florette is a lovely dress that Spyralle featured at the Walk in the Garden event supporting Women for Women International.   While the Walk in the Garden event is over, you’ve got a second chance!  You can still find Florette at The Avenue until June 24th!

Florette features a beautiful little dress plus matching capri-length yoga pants.  So it’s perfect for both summer and for cooler fall days!

The dress comes in the standard five rigged-mesh sizes plus fitmesh for both SLink, all three Belleza, TMP, and Maitreya mesh bodies.  The yoga pants come in both standard layers plus Omega appliers!

It just goes to show, it pays to pay attention to your favourite creators and their notices!   But head over to The Avenue and you can chooose from six beautiful colours!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

SLB14

blue Events, LotD, Moments

Second Life turned 14 the other day!  I’ve only been on here for three years or so, but I do remember about four years in when SL really started making news, I looked.  I created an account and looked… for about five minutes and went “how silly! why would anyone waste their time on this?”  Too bad I didn’t foresee the potential for improvement back then and stick with it.

As usual, LL is throwing a party, and it’s already started!  There are lots of things to see, including a showcase shopping event with some of the best designers currently working.  And most of the items at the shopping event are heavily discounted.  Also, there are free gifts.  Yay!

Here, I’m wearing two of them.

Flame!  How did you make it into the picture?!  Sneaky kitty.

This lovely little loose cropped tanktop is for Maitreya only, and has a three texture HUD.  I really like the olive.

And a cropped hairstyle!  Woo I love short hairstyles like this!  And it comes with four color packs of six colors each!  While the hair is mesh, it’s unrigged so can be repositioned and resized.  A very generous gift indeed!

OK, Flame. I know I know.  Flame turns 1,000 days old today!  Happy 1000th, Flame *huggles*

wandering on the moor

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews, Sponsored

Bee and Solas at Silvan Moon Designs have created a lovely outfit for the June We Love Role Play event: Rohanna of the Moors, a one-piece corset-and-skirt combo in fitmesh for Maitreya Lara and both SLink bodies.

There are six lovely colours, and I think it works as well as a casual fun outfit as it does for a medieval-type skirt.

Rohanna is currently available only at We Love Role Play, and is 25% off for the event.  Stop by and see the other four lovely colours!  Don’t let this slip you by!

monsterously delicious

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews

Okay, maybe that’s a bit too clever — monstera deliciosa is the scientific name for the split-leaf philodendron, a beautiful tropical plant that can grow up to 10 metres across!  It features beautifully on this little dress from Seniha Originals!

I’m not usually a huge fan of strapless/sleeveless, but this is just too pretty.  It comes in two patterns, a retro style and the tropical style that I’m wearing, and in fitmesh sizes for Maitreya Lara, both SLink bodies, and all three Belleza bodies!

  • GLITTER — Advent Calendar gift pose

I’m a sucker for a good tropical print, but this one is easy to love.  I hope you’re having a lovely summer!

Let’s get medieval on cancer!

Aeon Events, LotD, Reviews, Sponsored

Spyralle is supporting Relay for Life with a lovely gown exclusive for the 2017 UAC Medieval Faire!  Elys is stunning with Kerryth’s lovely textures in gold, blue or purple.

Elys comes in five rigged mesh sizes and three different fitmesh versions as well.  The fitmesh are not mesh-body-specific, but appear to be different bust-sized fitmesh for the standard SL body.  That’s all right, I found that they worked just fine with my Maitreya Lara and SLink Physique bodies — just use the appropriate alpha zones.

Maxi Gossamer‘s Shell Teardrop jewelry set seems as if it were made to augment Elys!

Please come out and support Relay for Life.  I’m always proud of the fundraising efforts that we in SL participate in, it shows we really are part of a larger community!  Visit the 2017 UAC Medieval Faire soon, you have until mid-June and it will just be a memory!
