Surrounded by the light

Aeon Events, Fashion, Reviews

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

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews

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!

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.


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

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.

It’s a beautiful Friday! I hope that you all have a wonderful weekend. I’m going to head out with my camera and see what stories await! A hui hou! Mālama pono kākou! Take care, everyone!

A Masque for Life

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews, Sponsored

 

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!

Yesterday in Eden, we elected our Summer Queen for the year.  I’ve always favored fantasy outfits for these events, I’ve even been elected Winter Queen one year dressed as a frost fae, which was a fantastic honor.  This year, for summer, I chose to wear this fabulously pretty satyr outfit by Melon Bunny, which I saw someone wearing on a fantasy RP sim and just had to have immediately.  That was, until I discovered the cost and had to save up 🙂

The full outfit is made up of three parts, each sold separately: the legs (which come with the Bento ears and tail), the antlers, and a top (or a chest fluff for the guys.  Yes, this is available in both male and female styles, and also available for Kemono, so be careful to select the right thing if you purchase).  I’m not wearing the top, but it matches the moss colors and the flowers.

Female sizes for the legs include Lara, Freya, Isis, Venus, TMP, Physique, Hourglass, LuLu, and a one-size-fits all for classic avatars.

There is a HUD for the legs, ears, and tail offering thirteen choices of base coloring, from the “Fallow Summer” scheme I’m showing you here, to “Snow”, “Pepper”, “White Tail”, “Dusky Rose”, and more.  For each color scheme, you can select a level of moss, from “None” to “Forest” (shown), “Golden”, “Withered” and more.

Another HUD for the antlers allows you to select from the same moss levels as the legs HUD, and to show or hide the vines entwined in the points.  The antlers are separates, left and right, and are modify if you need to resize or reposition them.

And finally, there is a HUD to control the visibility and flower selections.  Again, you can hide the flowers, or select from “Caribbean”, “Red”, “Black”, “Summer Cluster” (shown), and fifteen more.

This is a very pretty outfit, with fantastic furred leg realism (there are at least five layers of texture providing a very furred look) and wearing it, you are sure to turn heads.   Like me, you may have to save up for it, but it’s surely worth it if being a faun appeals to you.  The costs are L$799 for the legs, L$450 for the antlers, and L$450 for the top.  The outfit is only available in-world.

Fantasy Faire 2020: An intruder in the shadows

Welina mai kākou! Hau‘oli Pō’aono! Aloha my friends, Happy Saturday!

My heart is a little heavy with the closing of The 2020 Fantasy Faire this weekend. The Faire… is many things to many people, but to me it is a coming-together of friends, of not-yet friends, of spirits in a common goal to create, to share, to try to make the world a better, brighter place.

I had one last set of products from the Faire to share with you. This is Ninja from Sakka’s Studio. Sakka has an amazing number of beautiful Japanese-inspired outfits, and her Ninja is perhaps the most amazing I’ve seen in-world. It contains the suit, hood and mask (you can drop the mask by HUD control), gauntlets and shoes. The katana was my own addition! The outfit has a seven-colour hud that allows you to get exactly your own look.

If you haven’t gotten the chance to see the wonderful little vignettes/diaramas at the Fairlands Junction, you really really need to try to stop by and see them. I had to share the amazing work “A Chinese Proverb” by Fiona Fei. I just.. I can’t even begin to do it justice. I hope that she does not mind me slipping into it to be a part of the view… but I left my katana out of this one: I could not bear to bring violence into such a serene scene.

The Faire closes on Sunday, swallowed by the Mists for another year. Take heart, though, my friends… for Faire 2021 will open in under a year’s time… and I am quite sure that the builders and creators will begin long before then in preparation. In the meantime, come and share and enjoy and shop and give for one more day… and live in hope and peace for all the days that follow.

We keep the Faire in our hearts all the year long.

I wish you peace and joy and love! Aloha! A hui hou kākou!

With dawn comes the Sun, comes light, comes hope. Sing of the light, of hope for a brighter day.

Welina mai kākou! Hau‘oli Pō’alua! Aloha my friends, Happy Tuesday!

Fantasy Faire is into its final week, but there are still wonderful treasures to find before it closes on Sunday, May 10.

I have some lovely treasures to share with you. My beautiful little skirt and top combo is The Bard Queen from MALified. This one is available as one of the Faire Quest gifts!

Behind me is a fun totem for your sim or parcel — The Song of the Sun from Spyralle. It’s part of a two-piece set: you’ll see The Song of the Moon in a few days.


Aeon’s pose is Let the Light Guide You from Luanes World

There is so much magic at the faire. The people, the common mission, it really is one of my favourite times of the year, and my favourite event in all of SL. I hope that you’ve had the chance to stop by and take a look!

I wish you peace and joy and love! Aloha! A hui hou kākou!

Fantasy Faire 2020: Olivia

A moment of elegance, a moment of beauty… even more important in such darkness.


Aeon’s pose is Scorpio M from Astalianda

Welina mai kākou! Hau‘oli Pō’ahā! Aloha my friends, Happy Thursday!

I have a beautiful elegant gown from .AiShA. to share with you today. Olivia comes in a host of lovely colours, but I just adored the beautiful cobalty-blue Klein. It’s a long gown, so it can be a little tricky to dance in, but its sexy and slinky and just makes me feel good.

There’s another beautiful Decade necklace from [Harshlands]! The rares in this gacha all feature a special little adornment. I love the butterfly wings of the Jilly! And again, it all helps support a good cause — the fight against cancer!

The fight against cancer brings out all types, and even the fighting spirit in me! The wonderful Adventurer outfit from Valkyr is a fun for role-play or a fancy dress party. It includes boots, pants, and top, complete with some built-in extras like a little pouch and a belt knife!
Adventurer comes with a beautiful 24-colour hud that allows you to change the top and pant trim colours.

Fantasy Faire 2020: The Stalker

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD

How much of her was still human? How much was her programming? Every moment… she could fight… to remember… to regain what she was. Every moment was a race against time, a race to reclaim herself… before the killing machine finally won.


Aeon’s pose is Moon M from Astalianda

Welina mai kākou! Hau’oli Pō’alua! Aloha my friends, Happy Tuesday!

I don’t know if any of you have read Philip Reeves’ Mortal Engines series, but when I first saw the Stalker skins from Jeanette’s Joint, I thought immediately of Grike and Anna Fang. No, I know, I don’t envision either them as sleek metallic like this… but that feeling persists when I look at JJ’s fabulous work here.


Aeon’s pose is The Raven 3 (rev) from Poseidon Poses

There are several colour choices for the Stalker, and seperate “skin” choices (called “personas”) for the skin visible around the mouth and eyes.

I also get a chance to show off the fantastic Jada outfit from The Forge. Jada is a gacha outfit in a bunch of different colours. If you like the gachas, this is a fun one to play for!


Aeon’s pose is The Swallow 2 (rev) from Poseidon Poses

While there’s no cyber sim at Fantasy Faire (I had to run over to Insilico South for the right setting), there are all kinds of treasures, even cyberpunk ones at the Faire!
