The Courtesan

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.

The Secret Affair has some wonderful treasures.  Stop by and take a look around before this secret disappears!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

 


Gangster

Or perhaps I’m the one in the white hat chasing the gangsters?  I love coming up with outfits for themed parties.  This is an old ensemble and I’m actually wearing it on my system bod.  Sometimes, system clothing works really well, and in the case of old items from Carrie’s Lingerie (which is where the corset, bra, and gloves are from), you can’t really go wrong!

Oh and the fab car behind me is at Builder’s Brewery.  They have fantastic classes for beginners to experts.  Go and check them out for all your building needs.

“Though she be but little, she is fierce!”

This lovely little mesh outfit is offered as a group gift at Rowena’s Designs.  The Fairy Dress is a mesh outfit including wings, and has a five-colour HUD to fit your tastes.  The top, skirt, and wings are rigged as a single piece, and cannot be worn independently.

The wings are static and unscripted, but have a beautiful semi-transparent texture.  They, too, have colour-change options that subtly tint the multicolour iridescent texture.  The lovely Forest Edge mask from Spyralle has a HUD for six different leaf colours and four stem colours!

Stop by Rowena’s Designs and pick up The Fairy Dress, and take a look around at all the other pretties!

“Know but this and all is mended.
That you have but slumbered here,
While these visions did appear,
And this weak and idle theme,
No more yielding, but a dream.”

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

A little mix and match today with this cute ruffled mini.  I’ve shown you the top before, but I thought it went really well with this mini skirt so here it is again!

The mini skirt comes in nearly every mesh body size, and it also includes a 20 color HUD!  10 solid colors and 10 cute textures!

I found this pretty little location to photograph too.  Most of the time I photograph in the studio as I’m too busy with building or texturing or scripting or something to get out and find locations.  Well, this time I got out yay!


Cold?

This dress has just enough design on it so I can’t really classify it as an LBD… ok, it’s an LBD 🙂

It was a group gift for the Maitreya Gifts, Sales & News group a little while ago from Lo’s, and therefore it’s only in fitmesh for Lara.

I think that is the designer had stopped and thought for a moment, adding a materials layer for shine just for the pattern at the hem could have made a great dress into a totally spectacular dress 🙂  As it is, it’s certainly one to consider when going out clubbing!

 


sweet and tangy

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!


Sheena

Today I’m wearing an eye-catching mini dress in a really dark purplish brown.  I like this color a lot!

The dress fits all three Belleza sizes, both Slink sizes, and Maitreya.  There are no standard sizes.  The detailing on the straps is really nice, and although there are a couple of minor breakthrough issues, if you wore a longer hairstyle, they wouldn’t be an problem.

I’ll wear this dancing to Eden.  I know the boss will appreciate it as she loves short skirts (but she’ll probably tell me again I need to eat more lol).


Le Carnivale Baroque

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!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!


Sheer Beauty

Not me!  Sheer Beauty is what the dress is called!

Sizes are standard rigged, but they work well with Lara.  The outfit is a dress and a slip, and the gauzy upper layer makes the dress.

And included in the box was a pair of glass slippers for Slink High.  Blue shakes the box wondering if there’s an included prince 😉
