River daughter

Aeon LotD

Aloha kakahiaka kākou!  Good morning everyone!  Welcome to a new week!  I have a lovely new gown and bolero to show you from Silvan Moon Designs — the lovely River Daughter, available now at We Love Role Play.

River Daughter features a one-sleeved asymmetric bolero jacket similar to the Pandora gown that I blogged earlier.  River Daughter has a glove on the off-hand side.  I really like this look, there’s something about the asymmetry of skin that accentuates both the skin and the fabrics of the gown.

My dear friend Ariel lent me the most wonderful necklace from The Looking Glass. Dragons is in the Antique Necklaces gacha, and has a menu-driven texture hud to change metals and gem colours.  It’s perfect with this gown!

I always love shopping at We Love Role Play.  It’s a lovely monthly event that has so many nice little treasures to find.  Not so big as to take forever, but large enough, with enough of the strong creators to be something to look forward to.

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

Tundra Drifter

blue LotD

I play some combat games, so I’m always looking for new warrior style clothing for my kemono.  This fits the bill 🙂

The top and bottoms are separate and are only suitable if you have kemono with Starbright’s Fitted Torso add-on.  The “bikini” if I can call it that, comes with a HUD that allows you to select from three colors for the base and the fur trim.  I added arm and leg wraps from my other outfit, which just happened to match pretty well.  Even if they didn’t, the arm and leg wraps are modify and the UV and AO textures are supplied, so I could have matched them by creating some custom textures.

Unfortunately, the bikini is no mod, so no customizing is possible there.

  • Top and bottoms: Tundra Drifter by Squid Mart (marketplace link)
  • Arm and leg wraps: from Huntress Outfit by Starbright
  • Body: Kemono by Utilizator and Fitted Kemono Torso by Starbright
  • Cheetah mod: “Cheetah Neko” ~ Natural by Catseye
  • Hair: Kissing Strangers by Exile
  • Weapon: Katana (GM/ML) by Blue’s Fantasy (currently not available)

 

Fantasy Faire 2019: A piece of a rainbow

Aeon Events, LotD, Places, Reviews

Consider this a ‘thank you’.  While I have a little stockpile of shots of the Fantasy Faire sims that I will post to flickr here over the next few days, this is probably the last set of product shots from the faire, the lovely petite from Fallen Gods that I picked up on the very last official day of the Faire.

This little one is the Garden Sprite from Fallen Gods.  Alia uses the Yabusaka petite as a base, and adds a skin with normal and PG versions, and a HUD with 6 facial/makeup variations.

Garden Sprite was a special for the Fantasy Faire, and to be honest, I’m not sure if we’ll see it in the shop or not.  But I couldn’t resist showing this, because to me, she is a little sparkle of sunshine, a dewdrop on an orchid.

Garden Sprite appears to be based off of Fallen Gods‘ Evolution series of skins, but the beautiful blue base is not available as a normal skin for normal avis at this point.  Mind you… I would love to be able to wear this on my normal avi!  Garden Sprite is complete, with hair and a little mesh bikini.  I swapped out for my own hair — this is Athena from Truth Hair, the unrigged/resizable version.  It works just perfectly.

Sprits’s wings are, unfortunately, unscripted.  They’re wonderfully textured with just the right hint of translucence.  I need to see if I can drop an animation script in there for a little flutter!

This little one is a piece of the rainbow, light diffracted and shining, a little bundle of colour… mischievous, laughing, hiding… sparkling.

As of yesterday, the tally for Fantasy Faire 2019 is just over L$17 million.  That’s USD$68,000.  Just… WOW.  People have come together from around the world to shop, to share, to support.  Maybe you weren’t thinking about the fight against cancer, and maybe you were.  Maybe you thought “well, I shouldn’t, but it’s for a good cause”… and you did.

On behalf of all of us, mahalo nui.  Thank you for everything!

Everything you can think of exists in SL.  As Linden Lab like to say, SL is only limited by your imagination.

So it will come as no surprise that there is a market for BDSM and kink clothing, objects, and furniture in SL.  I’m going to guess that the market is larger than RL, because you can play a kinky role and feel safer than you would in RL.  I’d guess a lot of people who’d like to try something out side the ordinary in RL but never have would have less hesitation trying it in a virtual world.

I tend to be pretty vanilla, and my relationship with Aeon is certainly based on both of us being equal partners, but being the professional model for these pages that I am, I can’t pass up the opportunity to show you interesting items like this harness.

Even if you never engage in anything kinky, you never know when having an outfit like this will win you a Best in Theme contest lol.

There are fits for Lara, Physique, and Hourglass.  There is also a universal color HUD to change the color of the straps.

Smesh WomenStuff

Another set of hunt gifts from WomenStuff today.  Smesh has three hunt items hidden in their store, and a couple are very difficult to find!

But if you persevere, and think about the hints, you will eventually find this nice matching skirt, top, and sandals outfit!

The skirt and top are separates, and the skirt is in sizes for Lara, Hourglass, Physique, Freya, Isis, Venus. Curvy, and Fine. The top has an additional fit for Ocacin.

And the sandals are in the same sizes except for the Tonic and Ocacin fits.

I really like this, olive is a fav color 🙂

Here’s another hunt item from the WomenStuff Hunt, this time from Classy N Sassy.

Aeon’s favorite flowers are daisies, so I’m guessing she’ll love this when she sees it 🙂

The top and maxi skirt are separates, and come in sizes for Lara, Hourglass, Physique, Venus, Isis, and Freya.

Just in case you’ve been hiding under a rock, the WomenStuff Hunt is on at the moment, and it runs through until the 31st of May.  There are nearly 120 stores to visit, and all hunt items are L$0 or L$1.

I quickly popped into a store and found this little dress.  It’s an old mesh design (I think I have about four of these from various designers) but it’s an interesting twist on it, with the overlaid cobwebs.  There are sizes for classic avatars, and fitmesh for Lara, Freya, Isis, Venus, Physique, Hourglass, and TMP.  The dress makes nice use of materials, especially for the webs.

There is also a HUD that allows you six choices in dress highlight colors and harness colors, plus a universal color picker to get everything just right.  You can also change the glow and alpha, and there are even preset save slots.

Amanda top

Wow, here’s a really pretty top by Hilly Haalan!  It’s their current group gift, and their group is FREE to join.

It comes in four different patterns, each as a separate top instead of being HUD driven.  You know, inventory bloat lol.

The other patterns are blue palms, yellow polkadots, and a pink floral.  As usual, I like the lace.

Sizes include Lara, Hourglass, Physique, Isis, Venus, and Freya.

Fantasy Faire 2019: The last huntress

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews

As the gloaming draws in, thoughts turn to home…. to the warm fires, tasty foods, stories, friends, companionship.

  • Scarlet Fey — Elven Asym outfit (boots, coat, gauntlets, top, pants) for  Fantasy Faire 2019 (Maitreya Lara fitmesh only!)
  • Spyralle — Waverider Storm tattoo (face)
  • Poseidon Poses — The Raven 3 pose

The Fantasy Faire draws to a close this year, and despite being a week longer than previous years, it’s hard to believe it’s over.  I’ve tracked quarry across 16 faireground sims, and seen so many things, met so many people… and so many things I know I haven’t gotten to see.

But Fantasy Faire has done something amazing, and you have all done something amazing.  The goal was set to raise US$40,000 for the Relay for Life’s fight for a cure to cancers.  As of this morning, SL through Fantasy Faire has raised US$60,080  That’s over FIFTEEN MILLION LINDENS!

  • Foxcity — A Pretty Good Hair Day pose

I’m… I’m stunned.  I’m amazed.  No huntress could dare to bring home such a quarry.

Fantasy Faire 2019 is here through the end of Sunday.. then the sims will grow quiet, and dark, and fade into our memories.  Shining bright is the thought that we have made a difference, as a group… shining bright is the thought of next year…. shining bright is all the happiness shared, in the Faire and because of your generosity.

Truly, from the bottom of this one’s heart, mahalo nui kākou.
