Happy Yule!

Merry Solstice and Happy Yule, my wonderful friends!  It’s a season of joy and light, and magic surrounding all of us.  Kerryth at Spyralle has the most wonderful gown for the season, Coelis North Pole at the Mieville North Pole Event!

Another happy little treasure: I fell in love with EarthStones’ Poinsetta ‘n Bells necklace and earrings.  They’re just right for the season, and fit the Coelis gown perfectly.  Can you hear the soft tinkling of the bells as you dance?

There truly is magic all around, at Mieville North Pole Event and everywhere else.  Peace and joy to you all, my wonderful friends!  I wish you the very happiest of the season.  Hau`oli Lā Hānau!

Mahalo!  A hui hou kākou!

Here’s another gift from the Winter Shop and Hop!

This sexy little mini comes in sizes for Lara, Freya, Isis, Venus, Hourglass, and Physique, and has a 15 color HUD in mostly pastels (although it has a really good dark red, which even I can wear!)

The Winter Shop and Hop runs through the 4th of January, so you have plenty of time to go and shop your heart out 🙂

I finally found all the FREE gifts at the Shop & Hop Winter Event, and of course, I couldn’t get through a huge shopping event like that without splurging on something.  And when that something is 50% off, how could I resist!? 🙂

This dress and panty set is available from the Scandalize booth for only L$144 per color.  There is a wide selection of colors, and a fatpack is also available.

It comes in sizes for Lara, Freya, Isis, and Venus, and the fit on Lara is perfection!  I had to resist buying two colors and blowing my discount lol

The Shop and Hop Winter event is on right now, and there are bargains galore, plus lots of FREE Christmas presents for everyone from most of the marvelous creators participating.

The event is across three sims, and it was pretty full when I was there, so you might have to be a bit patient to get in.

Here’s the first gift I opened.

This lovely little dress is in sizes for Lara, Isis, Freya, Hourglass, and Physique.  The mesh detailing is wonderful, and of course, I love the color!


Selenia of Galacia

Solas and Bee at Silvan Moon Designs have created a lovely new gown for you, exclusive at We Love Role Play .  Selenia of Galacia comes in four different icy colours, each just perfect for the Yule Ball!

Selenia has a lovely Icy Pearls accent add-on (available separately) that adds a lovely touch to the gown.  I’m just a little bit disappointed in the pearls, however: while the Selenia gown comes in Maitreya, Physique, Hourglass and Classic fitmesh sizes, the pearls are available only in the five rigged mesh sizes, and as such are un-resizable.  I am wearing the smallest (xs) in the image below, and as you can see, they ‘hover’ a bit outside the fabric of the gown.  That’s not terrible, though, it gives some lovely three-dimensional magic to the outfit, which I actually rather like a lot.

Selenia of Galacia is a lovely gown, and like so much that you will find at We Love Role Playcompletely tempting!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!


Catsuit cat

Cats in catsuits?!  I got this catsuit for the kemono bod from marketplace with a specific reason in mind, which you’ll see if you keep scrolling!

The suit comes in sizes for default, Rei, and Busty Torso, and a set of full perm textures is included.  Also included is a texture HUD that lets you colorize any of the five faces on the suit.  As it is, it’s pretty nice, and could be used in a number of scenarios without any mods, including in an SF styled sim for example.  The normal and specular textures are really well done.

And here we have why I wanted it.  Recently I’ve been playing some capture roleplay in a jungle, and do you think camouflage might help some?  I’m betting it will!  This photo was taken with just a local texture to get an idea how it would look.  I’ll do a custom texture with more careful edge matching for the camo when I get a little spare time.  As it is, even without edge matching, it looks pretty good!

 


Shining

Aloha, my fine friends!  I like to do something a bit risqué or otherwise fun on the weekends, so let me show you one of my favourites for special occasions.  R2 Fashion A/D/E is the place to go to for your transparent latex fashion needs!  I know Jaz has shown some to you, and I have shown some in the past as well.  This is Baika, and it comes in three separate pieces (jacket, bra & panty set, and boots).  There are six different colours, so you can mix and match if you like, or go thematic.  I really loved the gold!

  • R2 Fashion A/D/E — Baika Jacket, Bra & Panty set, and boots (sold as three separate pieces) (Maitreya only) (6 colours
  • Evelock — Celtic Sheaf Fire Opal Necklace & Earings
  • Elven Isles — Golden wings earcuffs
  • *Eternal Dream*Winter Spirit 02 pose

I don’t know how R2 does it, but they have gotten the materials down to a science.  The gloss on the transparent bits as well as the shine on the metallic ones are exquisite.  It’s hard to imagine how they could be improved upon.

The one drawback, perhaps, is that R2 works in Maitreya fitmesh only.  If you’re a Maitreya user, then you’re in luck!  If not… I fear not so much.  As most of R2’s items have significant transparent features, use of alpha zones is not really an option.

If you are a Maitreya wearer, you owe it to yourself to stop by R2 Fashion A/D/E and take a look around.  You’re sure to find something tantalising!

Mahalo!  A hui hou kākou!

 

 


Odette

It’s winter, so a sweater dress is just the thing!  This is in sizes for all major mesh bods.  Although this is Lara fitmesh, it does have a clipping problem around the hem with the legs.  But as it was a freebie, I can never complain too much!
